SUPPLY Of SHEEP EXCEEDS DEHAISD Office of Pittsburg Dispatch. J Wednesday, September IS, loss. J The run of cattle on Monday was about 143 loads against 110 the previous Monday. Since Monday about 5 loads have been re ceived, making a total for the week of 148, against 120 last week, and 185 for the week before. The grade of cattle in this week's supplies was considerably above the late average. In the receipts were some 25 loads of prime cattle from Indiana, weighing from 1,350 to 1,450 pounds. Chicago furnished about 35 loads of common to good butcher cattle. The attendance of buyers was fair; but J,here were few on bind ready to take the prime stock, which, as a result, went begging for customers. Joseph Myers was the only buyer for this grade of stock, and his wants were met by one-fourth of this class of stock that was offered. Mr. Myers Hnd the Field, and, could almost namo his prices. The hichest paid was 4fc, nhich was fully 10 to 15 cents per hundred below what the same grade would have brought a week ago. Notwith standing the willingness of holders to concede on good heavy cattle, 16 to IS loads were sent east in first bunds. Prices on the common and lower grades were also a shade lower than last week: but these did not suffer so much as the higher grades. Medium to good butcher stock were strong at last week's prices, and were tne only kind ot cattle on the market that did not r?o (Winner for customers. There was a moder ate suppl of fresh cows, and full prices were obtained for anj thing choice. Sbcrp nml Lambs. The run has been light and quality generally poor for the week. The bulk of those received at this season are Western, and are not at a premium for mutton The receipts on Monday aggregated about IS loads, against the same number the week before. Trices held up fairly well to the range of last week, which was due more to the tact of light supply than the quality pi offerings. As there are scarcely enough to go round, the markets aro in favor of the seller, and the buyer has little choice stock from which to select. Auythinc prime in the mutton line would readily step beyond quotations. nogs in Short Supply. The supply on Monday was a little above one half that of the previous Monday, the total being about 18 loads. This supply being scarcely up to the demand, markets were active and strong and have lost nothing of their strength since Monday. However, they are not'strotic enough to stand a heavy run. The range of prices reported to-day was 4J4 to 5c As receipts at Chicago were very large yes terday, there is little doubt that Liberty wilt be fully supplied before the week closes. There is complaint generally that not enough corn finds its way to the hogs generally coming to market. BIcCall & Co.'s Kef lew.

A Bullish Wbirl In the Wheat Pit, Which Carries Prices Away Op Corn and Oats Pnrtnkc of the Improve mentHoc Products Featureless. Chicago The, wheat market was more active and strong to-day, with tho undertone decidedly bullish and the feeling nervous. Fluctuations were again narrow and trading to a large extent was local, though there w as more buying for foreign account reported both here and in New York. Opening figures here for the leading futures were He above yesterday's closings, and by noon the market had gradually climbed np another Kc, or to 79c for Decem ber andS3K6SSc for May. No excitement attended the advance, for the news that came over the wires was so favorable to holders that a higher range ot prices was in evitable, and the local scalping crowd were not long in shifting to the bull side. Speculative offerings were at no time large. Outside markets were all stronger. New York and St Louis averaging nearly lc higher, with cash wheat in St. Louis doing better. This was one of tho strongost features of the market here to-day. At no time during the day did prices ect below outside quotations of yester day, and the final closing range was at the top, being KQIKc higher for the day. A fair trade was reported in corn and the feeling prevailing was somewhat firmer. The market opened a shade better than the closing yesterday, was steady for a time, then ad vanced c, eased off lie, ruled firm, and closed ia higher than jesterday. There was a little more bullish sentiment on tho near futures, still there was considerable selling of October around 33c,and also May at34c Tho better tone was influenced some by the advance in wheat, and also moderate estimates of receipts and cold weather. Transactions were mainly local and fluctuations narrow. The feature of the oats market was the strength and advance bf Jc m the near fu tures, due to an increased demand from shorts and lignt oifenngs. The more deferred futures were quiet and a shade firmer. Trading was only moderate in mess pork, and the feeling was easy. Prices exhibited very little change.

Chief BigeloTT llcvlews (he DifflcuUy Over Its Repavlntr. Chief Bigelow, of the Departmeut of Pub lic "Works, was asked yesterday concerning the status of the contract for repaying Forbes street, upon which the split occurred in the Department of Awards a few weeks ago. Said he: "There is no telling when or how tbe matter will be settled, and it is a great pity, too, for something should be done pn that street at once. The City Councils ex pressly provided for repaying iorbes street in the'appropriations of this year, and have authorised the work to be done. When we advertised for proposals the "Warren-Scharf Paving Company and Booth & Flinn both KPt in tbeir bids according to the specifica tions Bt8d by this department, but the Warren-Schrf Pe0Ple e the lowt bidders "They ai? responsible bidders and no fiaw'existea in tir proposal or bpnd, consequently the only fonree open to the Department of Awards was 0 give them the contract, , ,, ,.,.. ., "Some members oi the Board think Booth & Flinn pavement is superior to that of Warren, Scharf & Co.," continued Mr. Big elow, "and for that reason desired to give them' the contract, but inasmuch asjjoth bidders put in their propositions according to tbe city's plans, the lowest bidder is en titled to the contract. I hold that if tbe contract were awarded to Booth & Flinn, on the ground that their pavement was superior, they would never do the work, be cause the "Warren-Scharf people would im mediately go into court and have the con tract annulled, and the city inirht be put to considerable useless expense.

Optimistic Views of Business "Borne Out by the Highest Authority GROWING BRIGHTER DAY BY DAY. Prosperity Assured to Agriculture, Greatest of All Interests. BENEFIT OF THE HIGH PEICES ABROAD In regard to business, there is but one voice heard in all this broad land that it is active and steadily growing better. The Dispatch has said so times almost without number, and given reasons for it; but to fortify its position and leave no loom for doubt, even in the mind of the chronic grumbler, the following is reproduced from the Iron Age, a standard authority on Pitts burg's greatest Industry, and a close observer of business movements everywhere. It says: Day by day the business prospects are grow ing brighter. Reports concerning the crops are very favorable for all the leading agricultural products, while news from the principal com petitive countries indicates that our surplus will be readily taken at remunerative prices. This means prosperity to our greatest the agricultural interest, to the railroads and to all the industries dependent upon them. Even now railroad earnings are creeping up steadily, and with growing business the temptation to cut rates is disappearing. What an influence this tendency will have upon the iron trade will be readily appreciated by a brief roview of the situation. Consumption of iron and steel in all the forms which enter into miscellaneous uses has been enormous. Tho most tangible proof is furnished by the pig Iron statistics. Tho re ports of activity in shipbuilding, in the ma chinery trade, in tbe cast and wrpught pipe trade. In the wire business, in car and bridge building, all corroborate it. Thus far, how ever, the rise in values has been pretty nearly confined to raw materials. The second great factor influencing our near future, and, let us add. responsible to a con siderable extent for tho volume of business thrown into the hands of our borne works, has been the rapid rise of prices abroad. It has put down importation to close figures, and what is more important, has practically stoppod the flow of orders to European works for months to come. Where in former years importers at this time were actively taking business for de livery prior to the close of navigation and were entering contracts for shipment till the sue ceeding spring, they have done nothing thus far. Nor does there seem tbe slightest ohance that they will accomplish anything during the, present season,since we are considerably below! hue iidiifcj' ui .uiupcdu puuea, HUlLU vuuuuuu to rise more rapidly than they do with us. The only quarter from which the demand baj oeen siacK in us iar is irom mo rauroaus tor rails. Tbe time is near when a -considerable bbare of that business is usually placed. Dnr ing September and October tho greater part a the orders for winter and spring delivery come into the market. If they are heavy then thep win uo ail enormous uemanu ior ore, pis ir and coke, soft steel, the basis now of so m industries, will rise rapidly and our capai will be strained in every direction. j ict tat We have already alluded to the fact poverty alone has led tbe railroads to withhdd thus far a very large amount of renewal wee, the necessity of which is recognized by railnad officials. With the heavy business which gW crops, now probable, will throw upon thepil roads, their net earnings will come up reaiily. Requisitions for material of all ktnds,tong shelved by boards of directors, will be pre sented more urgently. They will receive note consideration and far greater quantities will bo approved. With the exception of one or possillytwo branches of tbe iron and steel trades hopeless ly mired in excessive capacity, the diiect aid indirect effects of large crops at good prices and of swelling net earnings with the railroads will cause a rapid rise of prices all along the line. Consumptive and productive capacity are Tery nearly balanced now. Eyen a modest increase in rail orders will tip the beam heavily. The next two months will tell tho story, with, it seems to us, all Indications favoring a sub stantial advance. BT0CKS LIYELI. The Beit Business for Many Moons- -More Gnlns Than Losses. A good business was transacted in local se curities yesterday, and the feeling was better all round. Brokers'took more interest in the proceedings than on any previous day foi a long time. The strong features of tho market were the Switch and Signal, Central Traction, Electric and Hazelwood Oil. Even La Noiia stiffened up a little. The weak spot was Phila aelphUQas. It opened with a sale at 8 fol lowed by one at 36J. It was then hammered down to 36 on a sale ot 1G0 shares, but no more was obtainable at that figure. Columbia Oil was in demand at 2. but held at 4. It is said the Standard has made a Rood offer for the plant, which may be-accepted. This is the reason why certain parties on the inside are figuring to get in on the ground floor. The sales were 707 shares, distributed between La Noria, Switch and Signal, Phila delphia Gas, Hazelwood Oil, Electric, Central Traction and People's Pipeage.

Good Bcporti From Some of tho Leading Local Banks. The first bank visited yesterday the Com mercial National reported business active in all departments. Considerable paper was being off ered for discount while checking and de positing were liberal. A small amount of ex change was sold, but currency was coming in freely. By a new arrangement with the Treasury Department the express charges on currency have been reduced to 15 cents per $1,000, cutting down the premium on exchange --where there is a premium on it to 25 cents as the maximum in times of great scarcity, which rarely happens, and from that to 15 and even 10 cents, when plenty and in the market at ail. The cashier of another bank said: "We are not run to death with business, but do some tblDS every day. It is not long since we went whole days without doing a nickel's worth. Tbe improvement is gradual, but I think It has good staling powers. The prospect for the fall and winter Is as good: as I have ever known.

It is almost always the case at this time of the year. It is true, bank reserves are low. The autumn demands are upon us. apd to meet le gitimate demands the banks may be obliged to exercise more or less discrimination. In fact,a closer money market would be an unmixed evil if it tended to check any speculative ten dency threatening to break out in an unwhole some manner.

GAINS WIPED OUT. Railrond Shares Seek a Lower Level Northern Pacific the Center of Inter estGrangers Affected by tho Bnte Situation Losses . Small bat General. New Yoek, Sept 18. The stock market was again quite dull, while its temper underwent a change from strong to weak, and while fluctu ations wero still confined to the smallest frac tions in most of the list the final changes are generally in the direction of lower figures. All the speculative Interest seemed to be concen trated in Northern Pacific preferred and St. Paul, and the advertisement inviting the stockholders to join in putting through the funding scheme did much to make the first named a leader to-day. St. Paul was adversely affected by the uncer tainty of the rate situation in tbe West, as were all the Granger stocks, and its fine show ing of earnings for the second week in Septem ber fell flat from that cause. About the only other prominent movements in tbe market were advances in TcnnessSe Coal and the weak ness In Cotton Oil. The st.-ength of yesterday lasted over until this morning, and the opening was made at advances extending to 4 per cent In the general list and 1 per cent in North ern Pacific preferred. This was for the most part due to heavy buy ing for foreign account at the start, and except tbe rise ot 1 per cent in Tennessee Coal, tbe further advances were confined to fractional amounts, even in Northern Pacific preferred. The last named stock soon reacted, and before noon the rest of the list followed, realizatious b'eing invited by tbe bigb.prices of the foreign ers, and the hardening rates for money in ducins further bear attacks. When well Into the afternoon the downward movement became more pronounced, and more animation was shown in the weak stocks. Northern Pacific preferred, St, Paul and Cot ton Oil leading the decline. The weakness in tbe last-named is said to bo due to an effort to market a block of the Btock. The market again dropped into intense dullness, and finally closed dull and weak at about tbe lowest prices of the day. The unlisted department con tributed 20,613 shares. The final changes of the day are for fractional amounts only, and the declines are in the majority. Railroad bonds wero dull, and while rather firm In the forenoon, became weak with the share list later in the day, and most of the im portant final changes are in the direction of lower prices. The sales were only $825,000. of which Milwaukee. Lake Shore and Western extension 6's contributed $150,000, being the only active issue on tho list. Evansville and Terre Haute consols lost 4. at lifl; T.miisvil!eL New Albany and Chicago firsts lost 2. at 117; San Francisco 5's 2, at 104, and South Carolina firsts ex-coupon, 6, at 94, and the seconds 4at57. .
