COMMON AND HEAVY GRADES QUIET J Choice Sheep Steady at Former Prices- H Low Grades Lower. BOGS lOWHR THAN FOR IEAES PAST. 'OFFICE OF PlTTSBUEO DISPATCH, 1 Wednesday. November 20. 18S9. The ran of cattle on Monday was 85 loads against 110 the previous Monday and 130 the week before. Since the beginning of the week about 8 carloads hare been re ceived, making the total receipts for this week 93 carloads. The grade most in de mand in onr markets, namely, light smooth batcher cattle, weighing 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, were in light supply, and prices on this grade were 10 to 20 cents higher than a week ago. Low grades and ucaTy cattle constituted the bulk of supplies, and for these markets vere barely steady at last week's prices. There were a number of loads of pood heavy cattle from Ohio and Indiana, weighing 1,400 to 1.500 pounds; but only two loads were bought for export purposes, the balance being forwarded to Eastern markets. Plenty of Buyrm on Hand. There was a fair attendance of buyers. Good feeders were in good demand, and brought better prices than they would have brought a week ago, or, in fact, for some weeks past. A load of feeders weighing 1,250 pounds was sold at S3 80 this week, which a month ago would cot hare brought above S3 25. The buyer permitted his opportunity to pass, and, while looking for further reduction, was lorced to pay 50c per cwt. aboTe his former opportunity. fetockers are very slow, and can only bo sold at liberal concessions. The season is over for this class of cattle, and unless the buyer can see a big bargain be is unwilling to invest. The supply of light, tidy butcher cattle has not been up to dniuaud for several weeks past. Veal calves were in light supply, but the de mand corresponded. Good fresh cows were in fair supply, and sold up to last week's prices, with demand good. sheep nnd Lambs. Supply was a shade larger than last week on Monday aDd for choice grades markets were steady at last week's prices. Medium grades were 10c lower, while common and low grades were dull and had to sell at any price. Lambs sold on Monday about at last week's prices, but since Monday there has been a decline of 10 to 15c per hundred. The highest quotation this morning was $3 85. Pens were well cleaned out at noon to-day, but the dregs were evi dently disposed of by liberal concessions from the demands made at the beginning of the week. floss Tonch TJoltom Prices. For the week past the receipts have been heavy and the drift of markets has been steadily downward. Monday's receipts were a little below the average of the past ten days, and H 10 was the ruling price for Philadel phia; that day. Since Monday prices have de clined, and the range yesterday for Philadel phias and Yorkers was S3 80Q4 00. Tuesday's markets uniformly show a decline, as that is the great day for near by stock, which are not up to standard. Hogs touched lower nrices this week than for a number of years. The best packers sold at Chicago within a day or two at S3 bO, and quotations there this morn ing, according to advices received by one of our leading packing firms, were $3 85. The prices of hogs at this date is folly $1 50 per 1(0 less than at this time a year ago. An East Liberty dealer who sold Philadelpias at 54 00 on Mon day permitted a glance at his bonks, which showed that on November 20, 1S8S. the same grade of hogs were sold by him for 55 60.

Utile on the Strength of Bullish European Advices Corn, Oats nnd Pork Rather , Stronger. CHICAGO Wheat The market presented no new features to-day, and fluctuations were limited within a Ke range. Business was chiefly local and not much of that, and outside orders were few. Prices hung around the closing quotations of yesterday, the market selling a shade above and closed about c higher for December and e higher for May than closing figures of yesterday. Local tradeis felt rather bullish, bat outside support was lacking, and the market did not develop much strength. European market advices were rather strong, tho tenor of private reports quoting wheat offered moderately, feeling firm and prices tending up, while public advices noted a Arm feeling at unchanged prices. The receipts in the Northwest continue large, though advices state that deliveries are falling off considera bly. Speculative trading centered chiefly in May. There was a little better milling deman to-day, but the inquiry was confined mainly to the choice samples of the lower grades. Corn A fair trade was reported within a narrow limit, and the tone of the market was relatively firmer, slight advances being estab lished which were fairly well maintained until the close. December and May as usual re ceived the most attention, the former being in good demand at times, one operator taking in tbo neighborhood of 250,000 to SC0.O00 bushels, and, as offerings were only moderate, an ad vance followed. The market opened at about the closing prices of yesterday, was inclined to be easy at times, then advanced K8lc,became quiet, closing a shade bet'er than yesterday. Oats were fairly active but unsettled, with fluctuations confined to a small range. Shorts were the largest buyers, and bid prices upjc On the advance offerings increased, but all the orders to sell May at the top could not be exe cuted owing to moderate buying. A weak feel ing developed, and closing sales were at in side. Pork Trading was moderately active,thnneh chiefly for January delivery. Prices ruled 510c higher and closed at about medium figures. Lard A moderate trade was reported and the feeling was quite strong, though prices showed only a slight advance. Short Rib Sides There was no particular ac tivity to the market.

It's an old trick of the banks there to call in their loans when thev want to sqneeze higher rates out of the speculators. It is reported that the Colorado Coal and Iron Company has recently sold $750,000 of town lots, and that a loan of Sl.500,000 is to be issued, which the stockholders will be allowed to subscribe for. but what Is to be done with the money is not disclosed.

THE MAEKET ALL EIGHT AS IT IS, Bat Sudden and Radical Enhancement of Values Would Kill Business. WORKING MENJIDST HAVE A CHANCE To the Financial Editor of The Dispatch: I am glad to see that you appreciate the importance of a sound real estate market, based on actual demand, and discourage all attempts to get np a boom. The market is all right as it is, and should be let alone that is, artificial means should not be resort ed to to stimulate prices. As land becomes scarcer and the demand increases with the growth of population, values will naturally harden, and to this no reasonable person can have objection. Fixity of vatucs on real estate is impossible, and 'especially so in a growing city like Pittsburg. As wealth and population increase land becomes more and more valuable. Enhancement of this kind is legitimate. My object in writing this is to caution owners of realty against forcing an advance. Such a course would inflict a great injury npon tbe city. It would repel capital and population, and drive many away, who, finding it impossi ble to acquire homes here, owing to their lim ited means, would go elsewhere with more as surance of success. It would react upon own ers, who wonld soon find their property left on their hands. There would be no demand for it. There would be no market. This, it seems to me. would be the inevitable result of much higher prices than now prevail. So; all things considered, I think realty had better be left to take Its own course. It is now one of the greatest Interests of the city, and to cripple It by artificial means originating in avarice, or growing out ot any other mercenary motive, would bo to inflict a calamity upon the city. As you stated a few days ago, Pittsburg has entered upon her second stage or period of growth. How. fast this will be depends almost entirely upon the values set upon real estate. If they be reasonable; such as working people can afford to pay, the growth will be rapid if exorbitant, it will be slow. It should he remembered that from the very nature of things Pittsburg cannot prosper with out the co-operation of the labor elementto which every Inducement should be held out, and among these none is more powerful than the assurance of cheap homes. Conservative. Pittsbuho, November 20. There are railroad kings, iron kings, oil kings, sugar kings and now an ivory king is proclaimed. His name is Meyer, and he lives in Hamburg. He is the greatest individual dealer in ivory in the world. H,e is tho sole owner of commer cial settlements and caravans in Africa and is the only European dealer in elephant tusks who is Independent of the great ivory auctions which take place four times a year In London nnd Liverpool. He possesses large factories where different articles in ivory are manufact ured and he supplies these with the raw ma terial which his own hunters in the jungles of the Dark Continout secure. Abont 65,000 elephants are silled yearly in Africa to supply the world's market with ivory and 1,700,000 pounds is procured valued at 4,000,000. This does not include what the African Princes, who are great lovers of ivory, reserve for themselves. A thousand different articles are made out of ivory to supply the demands of the markets of the world, such as combs, brushes, prayer book covers, wedding cards, paper cutters, fans, billiard balls, knife handles.whist markers, piano keys, cane handles, boxes, eta, not to speak of the many carved objects of art. While India produces only 10,000 pounds of ivory yearly she is ona of the greatest consumers owing to tbe vast amount of holy ivory that is annually consecrated to Buddha. King Ivory Meyer sold every year 70,000 billiard balls at from S3 to S3 apiece, but since tbe new composition balls wero invented hi9 sales havo greatly decreased. Nearly 200,000 pianos are built every year on .both sides of the Atlantic and they are supplied to a great ex tent from the enormous factory owned by tbe ivory king. It may sot be uninteresting to know what ivory articles are most in demand by tbe different nations. France uses the most billiard balls, England the most knife handles, Germany the most combs, and Amer ica the most piano keys. This does not prove that we are the most musical people in the world, but simply that we manufacture the largest number of pianos and organs. w The matter of washing 'clothes Is the most Vexatious and troublesome job in all the range of domestic affairs. Steam laundries have been established in ail principal cities, hun dreds of patents have been issued for washing machines, and the heathen Chinee comes in as a kind of a connecting link, but the fnct re mains that 95 per cent of all the washing is done by human hands with the assistance of an old and simple device known as a washboard a de vice which superseded the destructive "battling stick" and bench of the pioneer days. The fa vorite washboard is one covered with corru gated metal, preferably zinc. The metal cov ering Is used because of its durability over the naked wood, and because It is supposed not to be so destructive to clothing. These retail for from 20 to 40 cents each. The consumption of washboards is so enormous that there is a con stant effort to simplify and cheapen them, and with such success of late that a firm in Tennes see is manufacturing a board made of grooved white poplar, without any metal covering, which is said to give perfect satisfaction. They are made to retail at 15 to 20 cents each, and allow the manufacturers and jobbers a living profit. Their cheapness and merit are making tbem immensely popular, not only in the South, but North and East. DRAGGING AL0XG. Local Securities Doll and Featureless, but Better Time Ahead. Trading in local securities yesterday was next to nothing. The first call passed without a single transaction, and tbe last was not much better, only 20 shares changing hands, 10 each of Pittsburg Traction and Electric. With so dead a marker, it follows that there was no material change in prices. Bridgewater Gas advanced to 23" bid on the report of tbe early resumption ot dividends. The rest of tho list about held its own. Orders "at the mar ket" were said to be scarce, but there were a good many below it. A broker remarked: "Although the stock market is dull, it is not so flat as some people think. It is not a speculative market. Nearly all sales are on orders. Hence, what we do is legitimate. Such a market requires coolness and caution, and movements are necessarily slow. I don't expect much, if, any, improve ment this year, but along in January, unless I am verv much mistaken, we will have a stronsr. active market. A good deal of money will be set free about that time, and'conslderable of It will, no doubt, be invested in local securities." Honxc-c. ATrxnxooir. Hid. ASKen. jiia. Asked.

Money a Little Scarce, but by No Means TiBbt.

These houses are handsome bricks, modern fronts, and to be completed early, in the spring of the coming year and to contain all modern improvements. In connection with this trans action the firm says: "The fact that these houses are selling so readily before they are completed is a fair indication that purchasers anticipate an advance in prices in that locality and are taking advantage of that fact by pur chasing at once. The well-known integrity of tbe builders is a guarantee that the bouses will be completed according to specifications. The location and surroundings, being so near Schenlev Parkiind so casv of ncoesft fmm thn bnsinets portion of the city, are great induce ments to purchasers.

THE BRAZIL TROUBLE Bad Only n Temporary Effect Upon the Stock Klarket A S-hnrp Movement Among tbe Wpcclnllles Rnil- rond liondi IJlI-1, New York, November 20. Notwithstanding that London sold some stocks on Monday owing to vaguo apprehensions of monetary dis turbances that might grow out of the Brazilian revolution tbe general temper of the London market is favorable tj higher prices for all American stocks and investments, as is demon strated by the avidity with which English capi tal is bnying breweries, grain elevators and in dustrial establishments of every sort in all parts of the United States. There is still some expectation that the Bank of England may raise its rate of discount to-morrow, but tbe scare in regard to South American affairs has subsided and this morning the temper of the London speculation was shown in tbe early prices in London before tbe opening of this market. Chicago is aUo bullish on the Granger stqck, and between these two influences, the stock market opened 0 higher for about every stock on the UU The abscsrd story started yesterday to the effect that tbe Secretary of tbe Treasury was about to call in tbe Government deposits in the national banks was not believed by anyone yesterday and was not tho cause ofyesterday's lower prices, which were due almost entirely to manipulation, and tbe recovery this forenoon was not due to tho denial of the story ot the proposed withdrawal of the Government de posits, but to the buying of stocks by London or Chicago both yesterday and to-day the bear nartv are all in A ew York. The Trust stocks were still heavy and lower. though there was a little more strength in Cot ton Oil certificates because of tbe extension of the time to December L in which tbey may be deposited with the Central Trust Company for exchange for certificates of the proposed new Corporate Cottou Seed Oil Company and also because the deporltor is given tbe privilege of withdrawing his Cotton Trust certificates at any time before December 1, thus giving bim the option to bave either tbe old or tbe new stock at any time before that date. This only removes the possibility of a squeeze in the old certificates. There was a continnance of the sharp move ments among the specialties and Tennessee Coal vibrated rapidly as usual, though its fluctuations were not quite so violent as during the past few days. Ontario and Western and Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth were specially strong and active, bnt the others were not so prominent The trusts were inclined to weak ness at first, but recovered later in the day and while Sugar and Cotton Oil were active their final changes were slight. The news of the day was not of special importance, butit was almost all of an encouraging character., In the last hour a material improvement was made, especially among the low-priced shares. The close was quiet, but strong at about tbe best prices of the day. The final declines are few in number and for nnlmportant fractions, while Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth rose 2, Man! toba 1, Pacific Mail 1, St. Paul and Union Pacific 1 each and Ontario and Western and Burlington and Qulncy 1 per cent each. Railroad bonds were quiet, though there was a little more animation in the list tban yester day, and the Laclede Gazs 5s figured for 192,000 and the Ft. Worth and Denver lsts for 133,000 put of a total day's business ot 1,234,00a Less improvement marked tbe dealings, however, and even the active issues failed to make any feature to the trading, which was maintained at the same dead level throughout the day. Colorado and 'Cincinnati Midland 6s rose 8 to 93. The rotiowing tame shows tne Ipnces or active stocks on the Hew York Stock Exchange yester day.

Cheese is firm at a shade higher prices than a week af;o. The deniand for choice grades of bu tter is good and prices are steady. Potatoes are weak. Apples firmer for choice stock. Malaga grapes and California pears are scarce and firm. Advices from sonrces of supply in dicate light crops. The steady rains of the past week have bad an unfavorable influence on produce trade. Commission merchants along Liberty street are doing not a little growling because the city authorities have placed their ban on using sidewalks and streets for storing cabbage. There is objection both to smell and occupying space, and a number of commission men have been sued by city authorities on tbe ground that their cabbage pyramids have be come a public nuisancer Tbe position taken by the city anthoritles is that no more cabbage must appear on the thoroughfare except in barrels.
