QUALITY OF CATTLE IMPROVED, Trimes ana Tjdy Batcher Stoclc Stronger, Low Grades "Weak. CORXFED HOGS IN TEEI LIGHT SLTPIit nwrrv ev Prr-rSTiTTpn TlrPATCH. Weiixesdat, September 25. 1SS9. The rnn of cattle this week varied very little from last, the total bein? about 150 loads. In the supplies were 25 to 30 cars of common to low grade stock irom Chicago. The balance were from Ohio and Indiana, with a few loads Irom Greene and "Washing ton counties. The a erage quality of stock in this week's supplies was better than for several weeks p ist. Prices for export cattle were better than a week as", but the quality of those on the market this week was also better. The best prices obtained was 4c for prime 1,630-pound steers, which were bought for export purposes. Common and low grade stock were 1015c lower than last week. Nice tidy butcher stock, from 1,200 to 1,300 pounds, were fairly steady at last week's prices. S. M. Lafferty A. Co. sold 19 head of Greene county cattle, averaRlng L250 pounds, at 4e for the best. S. B. Hedses reports the cattle situation as follows: "The best price obtained this week for export cattle was 4c This was Jc better than anything sold last week, but The Qualiu Was Better last week. We could get better prices still if the quality was up to standard of other mar lets. Export cattle are bnneinc Detter prices in Chicago than at East Liberty the past week, for the reason that better selected stock are on the markets there. Here our export cattle are (renerally brought aown in price by haying some inferior stork mixed in with each car load. The prime have-to suffer from their as sociations as humans sometimes have to da Light, tidy batcher stock was scarce in our our markets this week. and. as a consequence, brought a shade better prices than they would have clone a week ago." Rfw.v nuicMI cleaned up at noon today. The demand for freb cows shows improve ment, aud anj thing choice found ready sale at outside rates. Slirrp, Iiombi and Hoes. The run was light and quality poor. Mon days receipts were ten loads, against nearly double that number the previous Monday. Borne six loads hare come in since the begin ning of the week. The run being light, demand was active and buyers were forced to pay not les than 25c above prices that ruled a week ago. All dealers agree that quality of sheep and lambs offered the past few weeks is poor. No signs of elevation in quality are yet in sight. The supply of hogs thus far has been larger than last week, hut was not up to demand. The bulk or thoe offered were ot inferior quality, or what stockmen term unfinished or unripe stock. The objection to the hogs now coming to market is that the farmers are not sufficiently generous in the use of corn for their feeding. Choice cornfed hogs of light weight readily crmmand the outside of the market. For all curb orders are ulenty, but there his been an utter impossibility to fill them. The highest price realized for tons this week was $1 To. The general range to-day was S4 40 to SI 60. AlcCnll & Co.'a Review.

TJcnrr Realizing Causes a Break In Wheat A Rnlge Later on and Losses More Than Rccoreied Corn nnd Onts Tamer Chicago There was a big speculative trade In wheat again to-day, though the volume of business was scarcely larger than yesterday. The market was erratio and foil of surprises. For some time it looked like a bear market, and as though opening figures (82c for Decem ber) were going to the top. So general was the realizing early that prices broke nearly a cent. Rut the bear element did not press their luck, and before noon there was a rally ot c from inside figures. Later the market experienced another substantial bulge, which carried De cember to 82K82?gC and May to S4c, Cables were mixed. During the last half of the session a decidedly strong tone was de veloped and prices reached their highest range, final closing figures being at the extreme top. September, October and year made a net gam for the day of Jigc, and December and May of Jigjjjc. Cord uas moderately actire and a shade eas ier. Trading was largely of a local character, though some outside country business was trans acted in the way of selling October. The market opened at about yesterday's closing prices, was steady for a time, then sola off e, ruled quiet and fluctuated bnt little, closing a shade lower than 3 csterday. Oats were quiet and steady, without new features of importance. More was doing in mess pork, with trading chiefly in November and January deliveries. The market was stronger and prices 10c hieher, and closed comparatively steady. Quite a good business was reported, and the feeling decidedly stronger in laru. Prices were advanced 710c and the appreciation was fairly well supported. A. fairlv active trade In ribs was reported.

Y., denies the Washington dispatch that ha has expressed an intention to resign on account of ill health. One of bis attending physicians ex presses confidence in his ultimate recovery. The new cruiser Charleston, which has been put in proper condition to be turned over to the Government, has been taken to the Mare Island Navy Yard, where she now awaits a telegram from the Navy Department announcing the formal acceptance. The band and rrew of the receiving ship Independence at Mare Island gave the new cruiser an enthusiastic welcome when she arrived there. The naval commission appointed to select a site for a navy yard on the Pacific coast, north of the forty-second parallel, has formally re ported to the Secretary of the Navy that in its judgment Puget Sound is the best locality in the entire region, and that Port Orchard pos sesses advantages over all its other divisions, and that the particular site should be sought behind Bainbrldge Island. Simon F. Walker, a colored boy of lSyears, will be hanged-at Chesterfield Court House, Virginia, on Friday. He was convicted of an attack upon Mary Ann Quill, aged 10 years. There is a rumor afloat that friends of Walker will attempt to take him from the Sheriff on the day of execution. The Judge of the county has ordered the Sheriff to have a large posse of armed men on hand to quell any disturbance that may occur. A cave sparkling with gold, silver and sapphires has been discovered in the Lincoln mine at San Pedro, N. M which has long pro duced ore of great value. The cave is about 100 feet long by 50 wide, and the s'des aie thickly studded with the precious metals and stones, while bowlders of carbonate were found scattered on the floor. The -company onlv recently refused $23a000 for this mine. The camp is greatly excited. At a meeting of the miners, mine owners and business men of Denning. N. M., and vicin ity, a strong set of resolutions were adopted urging the free importation of lead ores into the United States from Mexico and emphat ically stating that the taxation of imported lead ores would cripple the smelting enter prises, drive Mexico to adopt retaliatory meas ures to the detriment of the commercial rela tions with that Republic The meeting was non-partisan and was well attendedby Repub licans as well as Democrats. The city of Charleston, W. Va., is in a state of terror through the evident determination ot unknown incendiaries to destroy the place. Tuesday morning the first attempt was made and by noon the department had been called out four different times. Again at 3 o'clock four tires were started at once, all under such circumstances as to leave no doubt of in ceudiarism. Property valued at over $60,000 was destroyed. A number of men are patrol ing the treeu with Winchester rifles, and every suspicious character Is made to give an account of himself. Bo Jar no one has been arrested, but it an Incendiary is captured there is no doubt he will be lynched. To-Dny J Our great sale of men's fancv scarlet under wear at 50c tokcsAplace.

Sale of the Bakewell Property on Boss Street for a Ronnd Sum, LAST OP A FAMOUS GLASS PLANT. Files of Counterfeit Money Good Enoozh to DeceiTe the Yery Elect. PITT8BDEG EEALTT 5INDS FATOE EAST The most important transaction in real es tate hereabouts yesterday was the sale by Black & Baird oi the Bakewell property, comprising 160 feet on Boss street, from Water to First, by 84 feet deep, to Elno E. Clark, for 54&.000. There are eight brick buildings on the ground, all of them old, and most of them of little value, It is un derstood they will he torn down and the site nsed for manufacturing purposes. Ibis prop erty was deeded by Thomas Bakewell shortly before his death, almost 25 years ago, to bis nephews and nieces, for whom the transaction was made. Much of the property thereabouts was in cluded in the site of the old Bakewell glass works. The passenger depot of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, lately vacated, was the packing house. It is the only building remain ing the or glasshouse plant. Superintendent Patton said yesterday that he had thisbuildlng examined a short time ago, when it was found that the timbers and supports were In as good condition as at first. This building, it is said, will be remodeled for the useof the freight de partment of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. William Dlckerman, editor" of the United Statu Treatury Couhterfett Detector, is in the city. He was encountered in the office of the Fidelity Title and Trust Company yesterday, where he uas exhibiting a large number of counterfeit notes os, 10s and 20s, some of which he had obtained from Pittsburg hanks, they having escaped the eagle eyes of the ex aminers. He was surrounded by several finan ciers, nearly all of whom said the money on exhibition was good enough for them. The inexperienced reporter, of course, pronounced the bills all gennine. Chicago is the head quarters for the manufacture and distribution of "queer" money. From that center it finds its way to every part of the country, Canada, Mexico, and even Europe. In the course of a brief interview Mr. Bickerman said: "The engraved counterfeits are more danger ous that those made by the photographic pro cess. With the exception of two series of plates from which S3 bills of the Manufac turers' National Bank, of Amsterdam, N. Y., and the Fort Stanwlx National Bank of Rome, N. Y., are made, the best counterfeit plates have been captured by the Secret Service. A very fine counterfeit $50 bill was lssutd some" eight years ago from a senes of plates from the celebrated Charles F. Ulrich. The 100 bills printed from a series of plates, engraved in Brooklyn by Charles Smith for WilUam E. Brockway, were but little less perfect than the genuine. Buttbe finest counterfeit from every point of view, was a 5300 United States note of the series of 1869. It was about equal to the genuine in skill and workmanship. So danger ous was the co -nterf eit that the Treasury De pal tment decided to retire all the notes of that issue, and to-day only a few of the genuine re main in circulation, and the banks receive them only for deposit, "Within the past year three very dangerous counterfeits have made their appearance. The new 3 counterfeit silver certificates are, on the whole, well done. The most noticeable defect will be found in the portrait of. General Grant, which lacks the life-like expression of the orig inal. The mole on the right cheek, visible in the genuine. Is missing, and so is the stud on the shirt front. Again, the entire face of the connterfeit is lighter than the genuine. On the medallion on the back of the note, the date 18S6 is not very distinct in the counterfeit. The figure 0 looks more like an U. "The new 110 silver certificate which ap peared a few months ago Is produced by the photographic pen and ink process. These coun terfeits are signed by B. K. Bruce,Rcgister, and A. M. Wyman, Treasurer; The portrait of Robert Morris is well done. The third recent counterfeit is a $20 treasury note. This, also, is a photographic pen and ink sketch. The first description of it came to me from Mr. Vincent, paying teller of the Western National Bank. The note presents a remarkably fine appearance, and if it were not for the lathe work would bear close examination. The back of this counterfeit is not as finely executed as is Its face. The green ink is off color. Still all 20 notes of the series of 1875, 1B78 and 1S80 should be bandied with care, as these series have all been counterfeited. "Two great obstacles have thus far stood in the way of the cleverest counterfeiters, the fiber paper and the geometrical lathe-work. The paper known as the Crane patent, with the fibers and two silk threads running lengthwise throughout the note, offers an insuperable ob stacle to the counterfeiter. The only way that he can get this kind of paper is by stealing it, for he does not know how to make it. So, too, the lathe work has defied the most persistent efforts of the connterfeiter, and consequently lathe work is the chief feature in all bank note engraving." There have been many profitable deals In Pittsburg real estate within the last four or five years. The Ben Venue plan of lots hung fire for a long time. Four years ago the prop erty was placed in the hands of a prominent Fourth avenue real estate firm. The price set upon It was $30,000. The firm pushed things, and within six weeks sold J60.000 worth of lots, and bad a few left. Twenty-eight houses have been built, all of them first-class. Only two or three of the lots are vacant. The gentleman from whom this information was obtained added: '-Twoor three years ago I made a proposition to several local capitalists that if they would furnish $1,000,000 for invest ment on Penn avenue I would guarantee to raise the price of real estate on that thorough fare to $500 a foot. Steps were taken to raise the money, but something occurred which threw cold water on the project, and it was abandoned. Subsequently 500,000 was raised for the same purpose. This was only half the amount originally required to bring land up to $500 a foot, but it wis so judiciously invested that it had the desired effect, ana my promise was made good. It would require very little effort to secure the same results on any of the down-town streets Liberty, for Instance, which is lined on both sides with houses totally unfit for business, as now carried on." m Speaking of the outlook for real estate, be said; "I think the movement is only in its infancy There are large amounts of unoccupied land in. the immediate vicinity jvhich .will be built on sooner or later. I think business next year will i sooner or later. I think business next year will be on a Very large scale. A great deal of East ern capital will be sent here for investment. A few years ago Philadelphia capitalists would hardly talk about Pittsburg real estate. The big municipal debt and high taxes placed itat'a discount. But they think, differently now. I was there a short time ago, and they listened eagerly to all I had to say on the Bubject." A SOFT MARKET. Locnl Stocks Still Suffering; From Too Much Sear LIvelv Blddlnc. There was a good demand for local stocks yesterday, and the sales were 44S shares. Buy ers were in the majority, but they almost uni formly insisted on concessions. The opening prices were fractionally lower than Tuesday's close, but good bidding caused a reaction in the afternoon ana final quotations showed small gains. The natural gas stocks were prominent for weakness, Wheeling leading the downward movement. Thero was uo particular change in Philadelphia, but closing figures showed a slight recovery. None of them were wasted very badly.

THE MONEY SCARE. A Finnnclul Expert Soya There la No Cause for Alnrm. The banking business is slowly widening and broadening and deepening was the assurance obtained from several leading financiers yester day.

The clearings were $2,221,748 65 and the balances $563,803 85. Speaking on the question of money Mr. Bus sell Sage said on Tuesday: "i think that the money scare is about over, and there are only a few days lelt in which to work the market on reports of flurries, spasms, or scarcity in the supply of funds. There may be a poor bank statement this week, but it will wind up the season, and from October 5 we may look for ward to considerable easiness both in time and call loans."

Oil struggled along below the dollar mark all day yesterday. The market opened weak at 9Sc, advanced on light buying in New York to 93iic declined on longs getting out at Brad ford to OSJgC, rallied a little on local buying and closed firm at98c.' Outside of the depression in refined, the prinj' cipal bearish factor was said to be the Jeffer son Center mystery, which has been hanging over the market for several days. Some think it will come in big, while others hold the con trary opinion. .What effect it will have upon the market remains to be seen, but it it not likely that it will have much bearing either way. since conditions go for very little in the present state of the trade. A petition was presented to the directors of the New York Consolidated Ex change yesterday afternoon, signed by 100 members, requesting them to return to the old system of tr.iding. It is believed that the change is favored by a majority of Pittsburg operators. Featarea of the, Market. Corrected daily by John M.

People's N.O.&K, Co Philadelphia Co Pine Hun Uas THE FOREIGN POOL Gives a Fresh Impetus to Trading lo Kail- rond Shares Strong on Louisville nnd Nashville A Drop add a Roily In Snsnr Trust. New York, September 25. The stock mar ket to-day was but little different from those of the past two weeks, and while dull and stagnant for the great majority of stocks a few specialties showed even greater strength or weakness. The London market was remark ably strong this morning, and especially for Louisville and Nashville, which, It is believed, the foreign pool intended to keep up until the 113,000,000 new stock has been taken. That stock was the feature of the forenoon, and in London was up 1 per cent, last night's price here, and though it opened at an advance of only per cent, at 78 it was forced np to i9Ji, aud held in that neighborhood through out the day. Its activity was by far the most remarkable feature, and it furnished nearly a quarter ot the entire dealings in railroad shares. 'liio rest of the market did not respond to the strength in Louisville, and Sugar Trusts, aftef opening down K.l retired to !T the lowest price of yesterday, bnt afterward recovered the loss when the general market began to mend. The hears brought considerable pres sure upon the list in the forenoon, and Burling ton, Lackawanna and Northern Pacific preferred were specially weak under tUe attack. Tennessee Coal, however, was the one strong feature of the general list, and under what looked like pool manipalationit advanced from 52 last evening to 5o and then on sales of only 1,000 shares declined to 52K. As on yesterday, the rates of money were held high in the forenoon, but relaxed later in the day, and in the afternoon the bears also re laxed their pressure upon the market and a better tone was soon felt all around. The ad vances outside of the specialties, however, were only fractional, tbongh some material gains were made in a few stocks, among which Manitoba was most conspicuous, jnmning from 111 to 115, the rise being accompanied by a re newal of the rumors of an advantageous alli ance with some other road. Union Pacific was also a feature in the last hour on the report of an increase in the net earnings for August of $327,736. The other specialties which shoned great strength were Canada Pacific Benver. Texas aud Fort Worth, and Milwaukee,Lake Shore and Western preferred. The marketquieted down afterdelivoryhonr, ana while there was a slight recession from the best prices, the close was firm, generally at fractional gains forthe diy. The final changes are almost all in the direction of higher figures. Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth rose 1, Canada Pacific and Union Pacific each lii, Tennessee Coal and Louisville and Nashville each L and Manitoba 3. Railroad bonds were a little more actire, the sales reaching $874,000, but the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago 6s, which were the feature of the day, contributed $135,000 to the total. The market was generally steady, and the fluc tuations, outside of the bonds mentioned, were confined to small fractions. The Louisville Ss opened at 104 and rose to 106 on large transac tions, closing at the top figure, a gain of 1 per cent The folio wine table snows tne prices oractlve stocks on the New York Stock fexenange yester day.

The demand for choice grades of butter continues active, and prices am very firm at the recent advance. A rise in cheese has already reached Eastern markets, but Pittsburg's conservatism is shown in the fact that old rates are maintained. Tne firmness of eggs shows no abatement. Potatoes are easier on better supplies. The apple situation is steadily improving, and a choice article finds ready sale at our quotations. The grape crop in this vicinity is reported light, but alone tbe lake shore is unusually large, and our markets are well supplied from that source. Tropical traits are quiet and tending to a lower level. Late cool weather has boomed tomatoes and prices have doubled since the beginning of the week.

The success that Is attending the physicians of the Polypathic Institute In the treatment of all forms of kidney and urinary diseases Is truly wonderful. Among the many patients who have been cured and have riven testimonials for publication, are Mr. H.Robertson, kidney JI...U A...4 .1 A.,... aa. S U.li..m..h..ii m.1... I bad severe hemorrhages and lost three uarts of blood at one time; Mr. J. V. mlth, whose disease caused him to be in constant fear of becoming Insane: a lady who had a tumor, measured five feet around her ab domen, and had been unable to He down for over three months, received an operation and over 30 quarts (60 ponnds) of dropsical fluid was taken from her; Mr. Henry Walter, rheumatism of many years standing. The complication of diseases that are tbe outcome of diseased condition of tbe kidneys Is really alarming. It you have weakness or pain across the small of the back, tired feeling; with lack: of ambition, scanty or copi ous flow of urine, with pain in voiding It. with a red or whitish sediment, a pale, sallow or waxy skin, or pain in different parts of tbe body, you have symptoms pointing unmistakably to a diseased condition of the kidneys, and yon should lose no time In con sulting some one who makes a specialty of your disease Dr. Sbafer and bis medical associates give especial attention to this class of diseases.
