J Receipts of cattle this week were about 115 loads against 130 last week. The aver age of this peek's supplies graded up bet ter than for some weeks past. This 'was dne to the fact that a number of show cattle for Christmas holidays were among the offerings. The bulk of receipts was, however, of low grade stock such as our markets haTe been hooded with all "this season. A Tery large proportion of the cattle dumped into the East Liberty yards for the past few months are of a kind that will not pay to win ter. It Is hoped that this low grade stuff Is nearly at its end for this season. Markets for low grade cattle have been Tery slow for some time past, and this week showed no Improve ment, but the reverse. Bettor Prices and the Benson. The dregs of this week's markets were closed out at the buyers' terms. As compared with last week's markets choice beeves brought bet ter prices, for the sole reason that there were better beeves offered this week than last. The liigbest price realized for carload lots was SI 40L List week $4 SO was the outside price. But the higher quality of this week's offerings made the difference. Common and low-erade cattle aid not bring as good prices as they did a week ago. Smooth, tidy butcher stock, weighing from 1,100 to 1,300 Jiounds, found ready sale at last week's prices. Of this class of beeves there has not been enough to go round for months past. The out fclde price for 1.500 to LCOO pound cattle was Si 40. A few extra fine beeves for Christmas were sold at So per pound. In carload lots there was nothing sold above H 40. Awfully Slow Frelchta. Liberty stockmen complain very much of the delays on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi cago Railroad. Stock is delayed from 6 to 12 hours between Allegheny and Rochester, and drovers meet with heavy losses of time and money on account of delays. Yesterday stock that was due at 5 A. si. did not reach East Lib erty till 6p.il, and shippers lost a day by reason of delay. It appears that the railroad companies require the shipper to be repre sented in company with his stock. It is not strange that the shipper who travels with his stock and is compelled to lose a day at East .Liberty waiting for his plunder, should lose his amiability and religion. A leading Liberty stockman said this morn ing: "There has been no time the past fall when livestock consigned to our firm was not six l)ours behind time in showing up, and very often it is 12 hours behind, as it was yesterday. Of course some of these delays are due to the crowded business of the railroads." Sheep and Lambs. Owing to delays in railroad transportation supplies have not been up to demand, and markets were firm at higher prices than a week ago. The quality of this week's receipts was scarcely up to par. Anything choice readily brought last week's prices, for the good and sufficient reason that choice stock was very scarce. Hoc Coming; More Freely. The supply on Monday was light as com pared with last week, and prices were stiffer. Since the beginning of the week stock has been coming more freely aad prices have declined. The weather is Try no means favorable to hogs or hog products. The range of prices at Lib erty to-day for the best is S3 703 8a The out side price at Chicago is S 65. nicCal! On Co.'a Weekly Review.

A Reaction In Wheat Expected From the Recent Decline Prices Move Up Slightly Pork Dull bnt a Trifle fllsher. Chicag6 Trading in wheat was moderate to-day, and the1 market ruled steadier and a trifle'flrmer, though no special new features were developed. The market, no doubt, is con sidered a short one, and this inclines many op erators to the belief that some reaction may follow from the recent decline. There no doubt has been some heavy short selling of late, and prices have scarcely declined to the extent that such selling was expected they would, and an endeavor to cover may create a temporary upward tendency. Trading waslargelylocal. The opening was HKc higher, ruled firm and advanced with slight fluctuations Kc more, then ruled easier; prices reading c again became firm, advanced slightly and closed c higher than yesterday. Cable ad vices quoted steadier and better markets. Corn A fair business was transacted, the bulk of which consisted in transactions in May. other futures being rather neglected. The feeling early was easier, but later a better tone was developed, after which the market ruled strong. There were no new or important feat ures presented, and values were governed to a great extent by local influences. Toward the close of the session a sharp demand sprang up for December, a prominent local operator purchasing moderate quantities through a commission house, and the price was bid up to 35e owing to light offerings, eased oft yic and closed with sellers at 34$c Oats A larger business was transacted in the way of evening up trades. One operator bought 1,000,000 bushels May at 225i22Kc, f-cttiug over 700,000 bushels in two lots from ongs. Aside from their tradings vcrv little transpired. A steadier feeling prevails and closing prices were at a slicht advance. Mess Pork Only a limited business was re ported. Prices ruled a trifle higher and the inarKet closed steady. Lard Very little business was transacted and the feeling was easy. Prices were without material change, bnt rather favored buyers. Short Rib bides A moderately active trade was reported. The feeling was rather firm, and in some instances slight adduces in prices were gained. The leading futures ranged as fonows- Wheat No. 2.

Work on the Kew Bank Buildings Progressing Satisfactorily. EAST LIBEfiTY STOCK YARD RUMOR Which Readers Are Cautioned to Accept With Many Grains of Salt, WATER THE BEST FIRE EXTINGUISHER Work on the new building of ihe Pitts burg National Bank of Commerce is making substantial progress. Everj effort will be made to have it completed by Apt! 1. The upper floors -will be used as offices, and many of them have been Tented. The cost of the building will be about 1200,000. In a talk with. Cashier Vade yesterday he said: "Our object has been, and is, to put up a good, substantial business bouse, one that will be an ornament to this part of the city, at as reasonable a cost as possible. We have, there fore, paid more attention to the useful than the merely ornamental, although the litter has not been wholly discarded. It will bo provided with all the conveniences conducing to ease and comfort, and. when fluished"will be, wo think, one of the nandiomest bank buildlnes in the country. It Is as near fireproof as possible." The other new bank buildines German National, Keystone and Marine are making good headway. Reports concerning the removal or abolition of the East Liberty stockyards. Use Banquo's ghost, will not down. Tney were floatine through Fourth avenue yesterday, with varia tions. One of them was to the effect that the yards were to be wiped out altogether upon the completion of the Ohio connecting railroad bridge from Temperanceville to Woods Run, where through stock will be fed, and thence shipped East over the West Penn division, thus avalding the East Liberty bill, which is one of the worst on the road, and avoiding the difficulty and inconvenience of passing' through several mijes of city railroad yards, which are nearly always overcrowded. Bo ran the story, and it is given for what it is worth. There has been so much wind wasted on this subject, so many reports have, been put In cir cnlatlon which, on being run down, proved to" be Illusory, tnat the best thing to do is to treat everything bearing upon tbs removal of the stockyards as pure fiction the new along with the old. One reason given for their abolition is that they are losing money. This is known to be untrue. They were never more profit able than now. When the railroad pepple get ready to remove them the public will know it. It will be a big job, and concealment will be impossible. One good reason given against a reaction in the local real estate market is that property is highly favored by all classes of people, who buy mostly for improvement and not specula tion. Where one piece of property Is bought for the latter purpose ten are bought by persons for home sites. This kind of a demand has an element of permanency In it which can stand a large amount of squeezing. In an article on fires and fireproof bnlldlngs, the Sanitary Hews remarks: 'The delusive trust In our so-called fireproof buildings may create an assurance of safety, bnt It should not. Our fireproof buildings are only comparatively so. They burn slower than many older build ings, but often we have seen their entire con tents swept away In a few "hours. One great protection against fire is water. Safety requires that the fire department, however efficient, should be re-enf orcod by a high water pressure. It is an at;ent that can be easily and quickly employed, and its effectiveness has been wit nessed on more than one occasion. No one can say that such a system is not needed, for no one knows at what time a conflagration may be upon ns." This Is in line with what The Dispatch said a few days ago on the same subject. Clearly reliance for protection -aealnsf-flres should be placed In large, powerful streamsof water, and plenty of them, rather than in so called fire-proof buildings. A great many good ideas originated in Ger many. Here is one which offers a good oppor tunity to some enterprising Pittsburger to es tablish a paying business. Briefly, it is a new departure in building practice. Which has proved very successful in that country. It is the wholesale manufacture of mortar of the best quality, to be sold to small builders and private individuals. Some 2,000,000 barrels were thus sold last year in Berlin, It is clear that this system obviates the necessity of mak ing the mortar on the cround, often under un favorable circumstances and at great expense SLIM BUSINESS. Stock Stock la the Hind, or Something Qnlte as Adhesive, The stock market yesterday was a short horse and soon curried. While there was no particu lar demand for anything, there was no nrgency to sell. Holders seem to be waiting for some thing better than present quotations. Phila delphia Oas and the Tractions were very quiet, though the former was firm. Electric was weaker, but no reason was given for it, except sympathy with the prevailing apathy.

Yesterday's oil market was one of the tamest for a lorn; time. There was very little trading anywhere, and the market had no expression and was spiritless from first to last. There be ing only a trifling short interest, there was no inducement to cover, and tho outside interest being nil, the market had no support. It opened at $1 0o; highest SI 05; lowest SI 0: closing SI 05J a range of c This was too narrow for scalping. A broker on the bear side said: "I can see nothlne to justify hopes of mnch dearer oil, which some entertain. The dally production Is about 20,000 barrels greater than at the first of the year. And then there Is the Ohio stuff. Oil may move up. but it will be slow, and if is just as liable to decline." Feature of the Market, Corrected dally by John M.

There was the usual quiet business in the stock market to day, and the usual preponderance of a few special stocks'in the dealings but the bears re sumed control of quotations and the tone of the market underwent a change for the worse, though the impression made upon values was generally measured by small fractions only. The trading was largely professional, and London was a factor only by the selling of a block of St Paul, whi"h, however, was abr sorbed at a slight concession in the price. Mis souri Pacific was one of the active features of the forenoon, and it advanced upon the report that a statement wonld be presented at the meeting of the directors this week showing satisfactory earnings upon the stock. There were also rumors of an arrangement between Jlissourl Pacific and Kansas and Texas, whii.h had its influence. t Sugar Refineries was, as usual, the great feature of the market, and it was hurt by the growing impression that the sales have been for Inside account, and that considerable friction in ,the trade will be seriously detri mental to the business of the trust. It opened off the 2 per cent dividend at 69. and almost steadily ueclined until it touched 55 toward 1 p. m. A rally then brought it up to 67 in the last hour, and it closed at 57. Dullness and stagnation wore the chief characteristics of tho remainder of tho market, and the close was dull and steady at a shade better than the lowest prices. Railroad bonds were more quiet tttuay, and sympathized to some extent with the depression in the share list, though the tone of the market was generally firm, and advances are rather in a majority this evening. The sales of all issues were $1,060 800, with no special animation. Alton and Terra Haute dividends rose 6 to 60.

A rise after the turn of the year is about as certain as any thing future can be. Egcs are very slow by reason of soft weather. Hens are cetting In their work much earlier , than usual, and the only salvation for egg market Is a drop In the mercury. It is many years since game has been so abundant and cheap. Choice poultry is firm at quotations, and the Christmas turkey prom ises to be higher than it has been for years past. There is an improved demand for potatoes, and cabbage are very firm at double the prices of last month. Fruits of all kinds are slow. Florida oranges have not been so low for years at this time as they are, now. About the only domestic fruit now offered are apples, and mar. kets are sluggish, notwithstanding $he small crop in this section.
