AN EXCESS OF LOW GRADE CATTLE.
Good Butchering Stock Steady, but Low
Grades Go Begging.
S3EEP AND HOGS IN GOOD DEMAND
OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH.
Mondat, Septembers). i&s.
The ran ot stock was larger than us,ual,
but the demand was good, and markets
were firm at a shade higher prices on good
grades than a week ago; but the misfortune
was that this quality was in a Tcry small
minority. Exporters ot late are gathering in
'the beststoct to ship to foreign shores, and
our markets suffer from the fact that a large
amount of the refuse, which are not consid
ered good enousrh for export purposes, are
sent in this direction. Low grade live
stock is in oversupply, and moves slowly,
while prime stock is active at outside quota
tions. Toor Quality Cnttle.
The receipts varied very little from those
of last Monday, but the quality was not so
good, and, as a result, prices are ofa shade
as compared with last week. Top Chicago
bought beeves, 1,400 to 1,500 pounds, fold
at $4 905 00; medium wciphts and grades, 1.200
to 1,300 pounds, J4 70S1 SO: best lightweights,
BOO to 1,100 pounds, S3 934 10; common to lair
thin steers, $2 953 05. Fresh cows were sold
at a ranee of S2545 per head; calves at 5grJXc
per pound, according to weight and age. The
latter were in good supply. But all the other
butchering stuff was in full supply, and the
demand did not prove equal to it.
The oversupply of low grade cattle had a de
pressing influence on markets, and drovers
lound it difficult to move stock. At latest ac
counts a goodly quantity had foiled to find
purchasers.

MABKETS BY TOE.
The Ylsible Snpply Statement Worlied as a
Bull Card In tho Wheat Pit A Strong
nnd Acllvo Closing nt
niicher Prices,
Chicago Speculative trading in wheat was
fairly active but spasmodic to-day and not as
large as witnessed on some days recently. The
opening was firm on the early cables it being
expected too that the wet weather in the North
west would retard tho movement. Later the
market advanced slightly.it averaging higher
than Saturday's closingall the forenoon. It
was generally expected that the viable supply
increase would show in. the neighborhood of
1,500,000 bushels and this had a tendency to
check reckless buying, but it was noticeable
throughout that the bear element was equally
conservative, and that speculative offerings by
the crowd generally were light. The largest
individual selling, perhaps, was by a local
house with foreign connections which put
300,000 bushels of December at around S2a
Another item quoted by the bears was that
farmers' deliveries United Kingdom last week
were 1,950,000 bushels at an average price of
29s lid, as compared with 1,600,000 bushels for
the previous weekat an average price of 29s 5d.
Information was received toward the close also
that a big movement of wheat has started this
way from the Northwest. The market de
veloped decided strength when the visible sup
ply figures were finally posted, as the increase
was only 656,000 bushels or materially less than
expecte'd. Trading was animated and the
market very strong in tone during the last
hour, final closing figures being within jc of
the extreme top and JSJc higher than the
latest quotations of Satuiday.
A fair speculative trade was witnessed in
corn, and the feeling developed was rather
easier, trading being at blightly lower prices
Transactions consisted chiefly in changing
October to the more distant deliveries which
widened the premium of May to 252c A
prominent local trader was a moderate seller
of September. The market opened at about
Saturday's closing prices was easy and gradu
ally sold off iiSJiJc, the near months show
ing the greatest weakness, and clo-ed with May
a shade higher and other deliveries Ho lower
than Saturday.
Oats were steadier, with a fair volume of
business in October and May, but very little in
other deliveries
There was a little more doing in pork. Early
prices ruled easy, but later w ere stronger and
prices advanced 1215c, closing steady.
Trading in lard was only moderate. Prices
declined 25&
A fair trade was reported in ribs, and the
feeling was easy. Prices averaged about 2c

Local Securities Identified With All
the Interests of the City.
A BLOW AT ONE A BLOW AT ALL
So Danger of a Speedy Famine in Building
Sites at Moderate Prices.
TH0USA1.DS OP ACKES OF TACANT LAND
Nearly all of the great business interests
of the city are identified in some way with
the corporations whose bonds and stocks
are dealt in at the Stock Exchange. This
being so, it should be the object of every
business man to maintain, and, if possible,
increase their repute as speculative com
modities, or for investment. A serious
break in local securities would touch many
other interests and put Pittsburg in a hole.
On the other hand, companies should act
squarely with the public by avoiding unneces
sary expansion of capital watering, as it is
called and furnishing full and reliable in
formation to stockholders and investors
A bond specialist sums up the market for in
vestment securities during the past week by
saying: "The bond market has been dull so far
as good securities are concerned, the advance in
money rates tending to check inquiry from cor
porations and large private capitalists but
prices were well sustained, and the offerings of
the usual scattered quality. On the otherhand,
the more active bonds weie freely traded in,
and the usual support was supplemented in
some cases by a fair amount of foreign buying,
which had no little effect upon the general mar
ket. This accordingly gave a show of animation
to the general bond trading, while some special
movements of a more er less manipulative
character were recorded."
Fear has been expressed that all the cheap
bnilding lots in and aronnd Pittsburg would
soon be bought up. Speaking on this subject a
Fourth avenue gentleman said yesterday:
"There is no danger. The amount of vacant
land situated within a convenient distance of
the business center of the city is greater than
people think. It amounts to thousands of acres,
considerable ot which has not been put on the
market, but will be whenever there is a demand
for it A trip to the district of which Glenwood
is the center, ont to Oakland and Squirrel Hill,
to Mount Washington and down the Ft. Wayne
road to Bellevue and below would convince
any one that there is land enough for all, and
that plenty of it will be left for the rising gen
eration. Still, this is a good time to buy, as
prices tor desirable properties are hardening.
The inquiry is good, and on the increase."
At Apollo, Armstrong county, the cheapest
gas rates yet announced are now being given.
The Pine Run'Gas Company was the first to
pipe the town, and later the Citizens' Qas Com
pany entered the field. Contracts are now
beine made for supplying gas at the rate of
2 75 per year for a cookstove.
The following is used by the United States
mint for determining whether a coin is good or
bad. Use the liquids as near the edge of the
suspected com as possible, as that is the part
most worn. A drop of the preparation will
have no effect on genuine coin, while it can be
plainly seen on the counterfeit. Heavily
plated coins should be scraped slightly before
using. For gold: Strong nitric acid. 6
drachms; muriatic acid, J drachm, or 15 drops;
water, 5 drachms For silver: Twenty-four
grains nitrate of silver, 30 drops nitric acid, 1
ounce water. The above tests should conform
with diameter, thickness and weight, the tests
used at the mint.
The hardware business is experiencing quite
a revival, and the outlook for fall trade is very
bright. For some time past manufacturers
have been selling hardware at about cost prices
and the recent advance in raw materials will, it
is thought, put up the figures The condition
of business in this line in other cities is re
ported by traveling men as good, but Pittsburg
is rather in the lead in point of activity. Build
ers" hardward is particularly active, manufac
turers being so pushed that dealers experience
a difficulty in having their orders filled; but the
improvement is in nowise confined to that par
ticular branch, as the movement in general
hardware is also qnite brisk. The fall trade
has set in earlier than usual, and the wholesale
dealers in this city state that their business is
better at this season than it has been for years
at a corresponding period, and the indications
point to a continuance of the same. This has
been the result of no one cause, hut it is the
natural outcome of the increased confidence in
the future and the general upward movement
of trade.
Prominent Tennessee and Alabama capital
ists who have been in conference in Nashville,
have just settled the preliminary details ot a
plan to consolidate all the big charcoal and
steel fnrnaces in the two States under one com
pany and begin the manufacture of steel rails.
Their plan embraces the consolidation of the
La Grange, JEtna and Warner furnace com
panies, the Roan Iron Company of Chatta
nooga, the Wayne County Iron Company and
other properties Six furnaces now in opera
tion are involved in the deal, and many
thousand acres of fine ore lands in Pickman,
Stewart and Wayne counties
A movement is on foot to form a stock com
pany to build a new mill at Dunbar, on the
Baltimore and Ohio road. It is proposed to erect
30 puddling furnaces, and manufacture skelp
iron exclusively.
One of the most astonishing engineering feats
of modern times will be the railroad to the
summit of Pike's Peak. The final surveys have
been completed, and construction will be com
menced shortly. The route will be about 0-
miles long, and will follow the old trail a large
part of the way. The road will be built upon
the same principle as tho one that ascends the
Rigi in Switzerland. It is calculated that the
ascent and descent will each occupy about one
one hour and a half. It will be run entirely for
the accommodation of tourists

ENTIRELY TOO BEARISH.
The Wind-Up of the Month Intensifies Dull
ness in Oil.
The close of the month witnessed a very dull
oil market The influences were generally
bearish. In addition to the wells at Jefferson
Center there is one almost ready near Callery
Junction, which promises to be a regular tearer.
This batch of reports, added to the apathy
which usually distinguishes the last day of a
month, kept feeling at a low ebb all day.
The market opened at 99, which was also
the top price, declined to 93, and then to 9S,
which was the final quotation. John R. Mc
Kee. Jr., sold 10,000 barrels at 9S. This was
more than the market could stand up under in
its sensitive condition and a break was the re
sult He offered 45,000 barrels cash at 99, but
nobody had the nerve to take it Saturday's
clearings were only 100 000 barrels.
That something must be done to infuse life
into the oil market has been admitted by
everybody familiar with the trade for a lone
time. For months it has been almost as life
less as a mummy. Various reasons have been
advanced to account for this extraordinary de
pression, some holding that it is traceable to
the adoption of the rule for trading in future
deliveries. But the market was dull before.
The true reason is lack of outside support and
a steady, though not very slow, diminution of
the working capital, until there is not enough of
It leftto build upa respectable short interest on.
To put the market in better shape, and recover
some of the lost business, if possible, a meeting
was held on the floor of the Exchange yester
day afternoon, the object beine to rescind or
amend the conference rule and restore the
former system of daily deliveries.
Mr. John R. McKee presided. Mr. Harry
Sproul explained that the primary object was
to win back the influential traders in New
York who have held aloof since the chanee was
made. He denied that going back to the old
mctnoo wouia oe crawnsnmg or eating crow.
it was a onsiness move irom wnicn ne antici
nateu cood results. These views met tho ai
proval of the assembled brokers, and the ques-'
tion neing put to a vote, it was carried Dy mor;
tnan a tnree-iourtns majority.

Causes a Slight Decline In Railroad Shares
Wide movement bnt no Serious:
Losses Strang and Weak Spots
Bonds Extremely Dull.
New York, September 30. The stock
market to-day was generally dull, but a few
leading stocks monpolized the interest in the
trading, while the general list was traded in
OTer an extremely narrow range, the favorites
made some marked movements. The temper
of the room this morning was rather bearish,
though only for a turn, but there was no press
ure to sell stocks, and there was no lack of
stocks to loan at ruling rates. Money, however,
was made extremely tightand tho rate rnled
above 6 per cent all day long with the bulk of
the business done between that figure and 9
per cent until late in the day when the rate
went np to 30 and at the close was offered at 15.
Thfs was partly due to the calling ra of loans
preparatory "to the disbursments for the
October interest and failed to have the effect
upon prices which it might be expected to
have under other circumstances, besides which
the money situation shows ,igns of improve
ment 'The principal Influence tor evil to-day was
the continued liquidation in Atchison and the
vulnerabilitv of that stock to attack. There
i was a further drop in It to-day of 3 per cent.
anu mougn tne liquidation seems to nave run
its courso it had an unsettling effect upon the
rest of the list throughout the day. Sugar
Trust was comparatively quiet and showed
some strength, but fluctuated rather violently
but over a comparatively small range. Among
the other stocks which made wide movements
were Jersey Central, which continued its
extraordinary rise under the influence of the
indefinite rumors of the offering of new stock
to the present holders to retiie the 7 per cent
bonds now coming due. Manitoba also reached
still hiirher fipnrpft than last week and Man
hattan made a spurt of 2 per cent, influenced
5 by the talk in regard to the Exposition of 1892,
iwnicn is expected to oe oi immense aavantaee
'ho the couipinv. The remainder of the list
:was quiet to auii, out generally aispiayea a nrm
Itone.
': The opening was made at small declines from
Saturday's closing; figures, but the demand for
stocks started the list on the upward tack im
mediately after the first sale", but the pressure
upon Atchison caused a reaction which gener
ally wiped out the early advances in the first
hour. Prices were maintained in the neighbor
hood of first figures, however, Until noon, after
which the market while quiet, gathered
strength and Jersey Central and the other
specialties gave character to the entint market
The high rates for money in the last hour
sagged prices' off slightly, but the close was
generally firm at the figures. The final changes
are irregular, but for small fractions only, ex

GKAM) JURY SECRETS.
Judge DTcConnell Roles Thnt Tliev Must
Not bo Disclosed A Spectnl Bailiff
Will Now Try to .Get a
Cronin Jury.
Chicago, September 30. "When Judge
McConnell's court was opened this morn
ing, counsel for the defense in the Cronin
case renewed their motion that the summon
ing of veniremen be taken out of the hands
of Sheriff Matson, and be entrusted to a
special bailiff appointed by the Court.
Counsel for the State admitted that the
statute is mandatory on the subject, and the
motioir-was accordingly granted. f
The application oi Defendant Kunze fora
bill of particulars of the evidence on which
the grand jury indicted him also came up,
and Judge McConnell denied the motion.
In denying the application, Judge McCon
nell said:
The Court has given the application of De
fendant Kunze a patient and sympathetic
hearing. In a certain line of cases it Is permis
sible to grant what is asked for, but the Court
must not assume the role of legislator, and in
tho absence of precedents, no matter how
kindly-disposed he might feel, the Judge must
not create new laws. There is no provision for
the publication of the proceedings of the grand
jury. In fact, particular care has been taken
to keep its minutes a secret
As to the other part of the application, which
asks fora synopsis of the circumstances on
which .the State relies for the implication of
Kunze inMhe conspiracy, the Court said that
in all mur&er, cases circumstantial evidence
played an important part Even the testimony
of eye witnesses who saw the killing could not
be said to He positive, since killing alone does
not constitute murder So many incidents of
apparently trivial importance might be ofVast
relevancy as tending to show states of mind,
that telling what they were would be tanta
mount to a disclosure of the State's plan of
campaign.
Our laws might show themselves to he more
tender of human life if the minutes of the
grand jury had been permitted to be in
spected, but if the defendant be Innocent as he
says he is, he should put bis confidence in the
laws of his adopted State, trnsting to the
potency of truth and tbe ability of his connsel
to bring ,him safely through. I overrule the
motion for particulars.
The defense excepted.

Monday's usual blneness was intensffle'dby
rainy weather. The week is too young to de
velop any new features in produce lines. Dairy
products which have been tending npward for
the past two weeks give no signs of weakness.
All choice grades of butter are is good demand,
and we expect to record still higher prices
before the week is out The only fruits now
in full supply are grapes and apples. Tbe latter
are firm for anything choice. Potatoes are
quiet The upward movement of the past few
weeks has been arrested by liberal supplies.
Before the week Is out. an abundance is ex
pected by commission men from Indiana and
Michigan, where the crop is reported good.

- Groceries.
Coffee options keep seesawing tinder the in
fluence of speculators, but it is found lmpossK
ble to bring prices to a lower level. Package
coffee changes not but should be higher to
correspond to the price of the green article.
Sugar is quiet since the late decline, giving
evidence that the trust has temporarily at least
lost its grip. General groceries move along in
their old ruts.

unchanged since our last reports. Choice
grades of oats and corn are steady. The recent
advance in wheat was dne largely to specula
tire influences. Flour has not been affected thy
tbe upward movement of wheat Springpatents
are fairly steady. Winter wheat flour was
offered at lower prices to-day than Saturday.
Any bull movement in breadstuffs ls.doomed to
failure, notwithstanding the short crops in
Enrope. In this land there is bread enough
and to spare, and our surplus will be amply
sufficient to make up for the deficiency across
the waters.

COLIAPSE OP TBE COTTOff COEKER.
A Break In Prices Upsets As Calculations
ef the Speculators.
Liyebfool, September 3d A large number
of operators and others interested in the. cot
ton market gathered In the Cotton Exchange
at a much earlier honrthan usual this morning,'
expecting the greatest crisis of late years.
owing to tne corner in the 8eptember'options
engineered by Mr. Steenstrand. The market
for that option opened quietly at a decline of 1
point Prices immediately dropped 2 points
more, and then steadied. The month went out
at 6 22-64d. sellers 30 points under the highest
prices for that month. Mr. Steenstrand holds
from 70.000 to 100,000 bales of American cotton,
tbe price of which to-morrow will be d below
tbe price obtained Saturday. If the spinners
close their mills for a fortnight, the accumula
tion of cotton will further depreciate prices.
The new crop is pouring in rapidly, and this
will lessen Mr. Steenstrand'! opportunity for
disposing of his stock. It is the general opinion
that the cotton ring is utterly smashed.
The Verdict Reached
After hearing the testimony of all who use
it, is that Frauenheim & Vil sack's Pilsner
beer is the best made Call for it Kept
by all dealers.
Wais-vvbight's beer is the purest and
best flavored. Kept by all dealer?. Try it.
DR. SHAFEB.
The success that is attending the physicians
of the Polypathlc 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 given testimonials
for publication, are Mr. H. Robertson, kidney
disease and dropsy; Mr. A Scbermerhorn. who
naa severe nemorrnages ana lost tnree
quarts of blood at one time: Mr, J. V.
Smith, whose disease canned, him to be in
constant fear of becoming-'irfsaUera lady who
bad a tumor, measured five feet around her ab
domen, and had been unable to lie down for
over three months, received an operation and
over 30 quarts (60 pounds) of 'dropsical flnid
was taken from her; Mr. 'Henry Walter
rheumatism, of many years standing. The
complication of diseases that are the outcome
of diseased condition of the kidneys is really
alarming. If 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 the body, you have symptoms pointing
unmistakably to a diseased condition ot the
kidneys, and you shonld lose no time in con
sulting some one who makes a specialty of your
disease. Dr. Shafer and his medical associates
rive especial attention to this class of diseases.
Consultation free and price of treatment within
the reach of alL Remember the Polypathlc
