YardsHeaviest Run OF LOW GEADK CATTLE THE SEASON Country Prodnce Outlook Peach Crop Below the Ayerage. JERSEr SWEET POTATOES PLEXTT. Office ok Pittsburg Dispatch, 1 TlICBSDAY. August 22. 1SS9. f It will be seen by reference to the accom panying report of the week's transactions at the East Liberty Stock Yards that there has been a large Increase of receipts all along the line Through shipments of cattle are the largest of the season and almost double the amount of last week. The run of sheep exceeds that of last week by 5,500 head, and bogs 8.SU0 bead. A very large proportion ot the cattle received for the local trade was low grade stock, and for this class markets were depressed and lower. It would seem as though tbo refuse ot Chicago's yard bad been emptied Into East Liberty. At last accounts commission men were wrestling with the problem of bow to get rid of the low grade cattle. Ore remarked that there was an immense amount ot smothered profanity at the j ards this week, not to speak of that which managed to come to the surface. It wait the common view among the drovers that the ue ot emphatic adjectives of a sul phurous nature was justifiable in the presence ot 123 loads ot such scalawag cattle as were dumped Into the Liberty yards this week. For all desirable butchering grades prices of la-t week were maintained. Good goods fall not to win In this era ot low prices and cheap margins.

Though peaches hare been in liberal supply for tbe past week or two, a shortage is ex pected later on. Throughout PittsDurg's ter ritory tbe crop is practically a failure. Sup plies are now coming In the main from South ern Ohio, where tbe early crop is fair, but not up to tbe average. The Delaware and Jersey crop is also below tbe average, and the yield there will not be above what Eastern markets will readily absorb. Tbe strong probability is that peaches are now at their lowest for this season. When the absentees return from tbe mountains and seashore and the good housewives begin in downright earnest to lay up fruit for winter use, look out for steeper prices. Jersey sweet potatoes never promised better as to quantity and quality at tbis season of the year. Tbe watermelon crop is scarcely up to the average. In this region it will fall far below average, and shippers at a distance have learned from dear experience not to eonslgu their goods to tbis city. The gluts of former years have taught melon growers that tbe bet ter way is to sell their goods and not consign. Tbe Irish potato crop promises to be the largest on record throngh this region. Late reports, however, indicate that tbe po Uo grown in clayey soil is rotting to a large .tent, as a result of the wet season. Sajd one of our leading produce commission ' -rchauts to-day: "1 only hope it is true that ' rot bas reached the potato crop, for we .a something of this kind to prevent the worst glut with which markets were ever threatened. If there is not something of this klpd to intervene It will be bard to give away potatoes tbe coming fall." LIVE STOCK MARKETS. Tbe Condition of Business at the Ens t Liberty Stock Yards.

The lobbing trade in drygoods continues to show increasing ac tivity, though buyers are not speculatively in clined. Business at first hands continues only fair, but both branches are apparently in a healthy condition. Failures among the mills are not affecting trade adversely, while tbe market is in a strong position as to both cotton and woolen goods. Average staple goods of both clashes are well sold up, with an upward look as to prices, borne are already selling un der short and d'scounts, or at value.

Chicago From a purely speculative stand point the market was again provokingly dull and narrow to-day. though in this respect Chi cago was no worse off than other domestic mar kets. Weather conditions were so fine as to create a decidedly bearish feeling in all of the grain pits, still prices for wheat did not decline appreciably. The disappointingly light deliv eries from first hands held prices steady in the face of the otherwise depressing surroundings. Trading was of a light scalping sort all through the session. Jc covering the fluctua tions in the leading futures. The bulk of the trade In December was at 7878ic and TSJc w as tbe closing price. Leing tbe same as J ester day's closing. The largest local buyer yes terday of December at TJMtfc purchased freely to-day at 78c. Outside orders continue light. A lame business was transacted in corn, and the feeling developed was weaker, lower prices being established. Tbe easier tone was largely due to tbe large receipts and warmer weather. The volume of business was large and trading was more general than for several days, not be ing confined so much to local operators. There was a good deal of liquidation, longs selling and shorts covering. The country was also a seller, there being an impression that tbe dan ger from frost is over in some sections, and of ferings ot May were quite heavy. The specu lative market opened ii&Hc under yesterday's closing prices, was easy and declined in all He to Jic and closed Ko lower than yes terday. More business was transacted in oats and a slightly lower range of prices recorded. In terest centered chiefly in May, and prices for it showed the greatest fluctuations. Operators were more disposed to sell, and an easier feel ing prevailed. Offerings were heavier, and prices declined Xc, and the market closed easy. . Considerable more interest was manifested in hoe products, and trading was more active both In speculative and shipping branches. In a general wav tbe feeling was somewhat un settled, with the different articles acting on an Independent basis. Near deliveries of mess pork and short ribs were steadier, while Janu ary ruled easier. Lard was rather reverse. Offerings of all kinds wero moderately free and the demand was fair; shorts purchased to some extent, and the bulk of the outside orders apparently were on the buying side. Trading was mainly in contracts for beptcmher, October and January. Prices ruled somevhat Irregular.

Sale of an Oakland Homestead for Twenty Thousand Dollars. LOCAL BANKERS TALK ON MONEY. They Take Tery Little Stock in Kew Tork Seports of a Stringency. HOW A BROKER FOUND A PUDDING The most important deal in suburban realty reported by any of ihe Fourth avenue agencies for some time was effected by W. A. Herron & Sons yesterday. For a month or two negotiations bad been pending in re gard to the sale of a part of the Smith estate on Terrace street, Oikland, a small differ ence in price preventing a close. Yesterday this obstacle was removed, and the property chanced owners. The ground comprises about 3J acres and a large mansion house. The consideration was 520,000, which is considered very rea sonable for that locality. The new owner, wbo requests bis namo to be omitted, will make extensive improvements to the grounds and remodel tbe house, whichbe proposes to occupy as a suburban home. Pittsburg bankers take very little stock in New York reports cf a squeeze in money. They can see no good reason for it, and think the talk is intended to influence the stock market, which Is easily aflccted by such in fluences. A member of the firm of Kobinson Brothers' said: "There may be some pressure, but it will be temporary. The West Is well supplied with funds, particularly Chicago, which is a second New York, and will need less help than usual to move the crops. Very little money Is going abroad. Prosperity is the rule in all parts of the country, and I think It is able to withstand a much severer squeeze than It is likely to be subjectsd to this season. Pittsburg will scarcely feel it." A Fourth avenue cashier remarked: "Money is evidently scarce in New York, or there wonld not have been such a sharp advance in the Interest rate. The squeeze may be a little severe in the East, but I do not believe It will affect the West to an appreciable extent It is a good thing for the Pittsburg banks, be cause the advance on loans will keep paper at home. Money is cheaper in Pittsburg than in New York." At tbe Central Bank the opinion was ex pressed that reports of a squeeze were more talk than anything else, and would soon sub side. Pittsburg has a very large surplus, and has nothing to fear. Tbe Cashier ot a leading bank on Fifth ave nue, who does not like to see his name in print, had this to say: There may be somei thing of a stringency in New York, but it won't amount to anything serious. Bates on call have hardened a little, but on commercial paper there is no difference worth mentioning. There is no particular reason for a stringency in the East, where money is unusually abund ant. Pittsburg has a surplus ot between $15, 000,000 and 20.000,000. Tbis will carry her through without scorching a hair." Tbo iron market holds all of the recent ad vances and exhibits a tendency toward a still further enhancement. A sale was reported here yesterday of 15,000 tons of Bessemer pig at a shade better than S17. Small lots rule at S17 50 toS1775. Manufactured iron has undergone no material change in tbe past few days, but is very firm. Tbe mills are all full of work, and refuse orders for deliveries running longer than CO days. Sheet and pipe mills are running at their full capacity. A broker remarked: "I think the present boom will last through the fall and winter, but 1 do not look for prices to go much higher." A Pittsburg merchant, who formerly dabbled in stocks in New York, and was very successful, told me yesterday how he managed to come out ahead. Said he: "I wasn't what is called a general operator. I didn't take hold of every thing, but selected three low-priced securities which seemed to have an outcome. I held on to them for two or three years, paying no at tention to the minor fluctuations, for I had bought more for Investment than a quick turn. My Judgment turned out to be correct. At tbe end of tbe time men tioned two ot the properties had been so well managed that they were worth dollars where they had cost me cents, and the third had risen to almost par. I sold out, not wishine to run any unnecessary risk, making enough money by the transaction to bny a handsome home, and start In my present business." He added: "Altbouch I have quit the business I watch the Fittsbnrg market with consider able interest. All of the local stocks are good, and have a permanent v&lue.Jand 1 think there is money in most of them. If I were operat ing in them I would buy La Noria, Switch and Signal and Pittsburg and Western all low priced stocks with a future before them, in my opinion and salt them down. Whoever will do tbis will. In my judgment, awake some morning and find himself rich. There are other promising stocks, but those mentioned seem to me to be full of splendid possibili ties." Talking on the subject of mortgages yester day.a Woodstreetbrokersald:"Business in tbis class of securities has been very large this sea son, but the demand is by no means exhausted. I have $300,000 for Investment in them, but can't find tbe property. People are very cau tious about borrowing, lookine on both sides before taking a step. It this conservatism is general, and I believe it is, there is no danger of a financial crisis." STATUS OP ST0CKB. La Noria Lead tbe DIarket In Point of Activity. La Noria was the active feature of the stock market yesterday, bnt at the expense of value, 625 shares selling at . It was wanted in un limited quantities at 1, but nothing less than the figure first named cculd touch it, Tbe slight drop in this stock. In view of its peculiar environments, possesses no significance. Two or three men have it in their power to Inflate or depress it almost any hour in the day. 'Tbo boom in La Noria is over," remarked a gentle man wbo is supposed to know a good deal about lr, "but there will be another before long." Natural Gas of West Virginia, on rumors of good field developments, was bid up to SO In the afternoon, with 81 asked. Keystone Bank seems to have crossed the par line for good. 'It sold In a small way at 6U Central Traction about held its own, bnt the others were frac tionally weaker. Union bridge was slightly firmer at &, asked. The rest of the list showed no particular change. Several of the favorites were as severely neglected as an an cient maiden at a party. There was no urgency on either side of the market, those having buy ing orders still baiting and hoping for a break. bald a broker: "I think these men are mak ing a mistake. In tbe ordinary course of things, prices are about as low as they will be, or can well be, and. therefore, any change must be upward. If I had orders to bny 'at lowest' I would not let tbis opportunity pass." Bids, offers and sales follow: MOBNING. ATTiniCOOlV. Bid. Aiked. Bid. Asked. 4SO 62J4- Pitts S. A M. Ex Allegheny Nat. Bank.

CONDITIONS UNUHANGED. No Evidence of a Tlabt Money Market In Pittsburg:. The conditions of the local money market showed no change in any essential particnlar yesterday. Bald a cashier: 'There may bo a squeeze in New York, but we don't feel It here. I think a little of it would do good. It would compel people to borrow." There was a sufil clent supply of both currency and exchange. The clearings were $1,793,017 96 and the bal ances 3286,312 63. The Daily SnvetUgator, a Wall sireot organ, sap: "The drain of currency to the West and South for crop moving purposes Is already ac tive, the Sub-Treasury having sent away S75V 000 last week under the new rule of receiving deposits here and paying it out in new green backs or silver certificates at any designated city, charging contract express rates for the service of forwarding. Tbe araln South bas begun earlier than usual, as one of tbe remit tances through the Sub-Treasury was to Mem phis. "Hicher rates in the loan market are, as SradttrteCt remarks, natural during the autumn months. Tbe movement of tbe crops and tbe accompanying activity of business throughout the West naturally create a drain of funds in that direction. In the past few years tbe West has developed an increased ability to carry through the financial opera tions involved in the crop movement without recourse to the banking reserves in the East. Tbe constitution ot St. Louis and Chicago as central reserve cities bas no small effect in this connection. But the magnitude of the present crop leads to the conclusion that there will be considerable pressure on the money market of the whole country during the coming autumn. "The fact that the New York Bank reserves have been reduced to a low ebb, and that tbe Boston money market shows sensitive indica tions, have an Important bearing. At the same time there is every prospect of an active specu lation in railroad shares, so money will be in all the more active demand on that account, but there is not likely to be any stringency unless it is manipulated, and In that event it will be very transitory."

New York buying ana Pittsburg selling in a small way There was nothing to disturb the equa nimity of the "boys" until well along in the afternoon, when weakness in New YorK stocks and a drop in refined at Antwerp depressed prices to the lowest point of the day. This was followed by a slight rally, and the market closed cent better than the opening figure. Cash was dull and abont K lower than September. Wednesday's clearings were 331, 000 barrels.

Stocks Improve In Business, bnt at n Loss of Tnlaea Weakness Affects the Entire List Heavy FalluresnndRate-Cut- tlnsr the Dlsturblnr Elements. New Yobk, August 22. The stock market was more active to-day than at any time for weeks, and at thd same time displayed a de cided weakness in tone, which resulted in ma teria! losses all over the list, scarcely any ot the active stocks being less than 1 per cent lower than last evening. Tbe influences which had a bearing upon tbe market tbis morning were all of an unfavorable nature, such as the recent heavy failures, further cutting of rates in the West and Northwest, tbe utterances of Chair man Walker and Judge Cooley, the former ex pressing the situation as deplorable in the Northwest, and general fear of tight money. The traders made the most of the oppor tunity, and with tbe first sales inaugurated a vigorous attack upon the list, the Grangers and Coal stocks being the principal sufferers, and the opening prices lrorato percent lower than last night's figures. The market, under the pressure to sell, which included, without a doubt considerable long stock, yielded rapidly in the early trading, and Jersey Central and Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis led the decline, whicb. however, died away toward tbe end of tbe first hour, when dullness followed and slight recoveries were made. After noon the pressure was resumed with force, and all the Grangers, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific. Cotton Oil and Sugar became prominent for tbe weakness displayed, but later they were all surpassed by the Chicago and Eau Illinois preferred and Chesapeake and Ohio first preferred, which lost about 3 per cent each. Lake Erie and Western preferred. Lackawanna and Sugar Trust, and afterward St. Paul and Missouri Pacific led the decline, which reached Its limits in the last hour only when money had been run up to 6 per cent. Thore was a sharp reaction in the rates for money, however, and they ran off to 2 per cent at the close. Which induced some buying prin cipally for tbe short account. The outstanding short Interest was largely in creased to day, though there was heavy liqui dation of long accounts. The trading, however, did not lose its professional character. The close was fairly active and weak generally at the lowest prices of the day. The earnings of the Northwestern for last month served to re strict the decline in that stock but bad no ap preciable effect upon the remainder of the list. Tbeentire'listU lower to-night. Chlcaco and East Illinois preferred first lost 3K;Chesapeake and Ohio 1st preferred, 3; Lake Erie and West ern preferred, and Missouri Pacific, 2; Chicago and East Illinois.

Bonds responded to the flurry in stocks by a little more animation, tbe sales reacbinc $812, 000, but tbe weakness in stocks was not sympa thized in to any extent, though the firm tone shown of late was missed and the Important final changes were smaller in number.
