THUB8DAY. January 2, 1S90. J
Beceipts of cattle for the week "were
slightly larger than last week, and prices
were 10 to 20c better. There has been a
scarcity of nice, tidy butcher cattle for sev
eral weeks past, and for this grade markets
have been unusually rm this week. Beeves
weighing from 1,100 to 1,300 pounds of the
latter grade have not been in supply up to
demand for some time past.
Awhile lower grades are forced to go beg
ging for buyers smooth, well fatted butcher
stock roes like hot cakes. This week mark
ets were better all along the line than for sev
eral weeks past. Stock was promptly taken at
the beginning of the week, and markets were
Etronger to-day than tbey were en Monday.
bherp and Lambs.
The situation varies very little from last week
in this department of live Etock The run has
been somewhat larger than last week, bat
pnees are fairly well maintained. The outside
price Tor sheep was $5 lOaod lor lambs 7c Two
loads of very choice lambs were shipped on
East yeEterday at prices which ranged from
S6 60 to 17 per hundred.
Mutton, and in fact all staple meats, has
been forced to the rear of late by the holiday
demand for poultry, came, ash and oysters.
From now on the old reliables will be in de
mand, according to former experience, and,
the signt of improvement are already seen.
There in & marked improvement In demand
for sheep and lambs over last week.
Lieut Ron of Hoes.
The run has been light, and markets are
much stronger than they have been for a
month or two past. Testerday supply was far
below demand, and prices jumped to 4 25 for
tops. To-day receipts are more liberal, and
prices are gravitating back toward the old
level. The outside price this morning was
H 10.
At Chicago, according to advices received by
one of our leading packers, receipts to-day
were 28.000 head, and top prices -were 53 70, a
drop of 5c from yesterday's prices.
It is evident that all live stock have touched
their lowest point for this season.
Any changes hereafter will be toward better
prices.
The tone of markets both here and Chicago
is stronger than ithasbepn for some weeks
past, and it is not at all probable that we will
Bee prices as low this year as they have been

More Life Is the Wheat Fit, and Frlcei
Stronger on European Advices and
Bepbrtt of a Cold Wave.
Chicago A fair business was transacted In
wheat to day and the feeling developed was
strong7, with prices averaging slightly higher.
The opening was )c higher, advanced JiffiKc,
receded to the opening figures, then advanced
again,. and" the closing was c higher than
Tuesday. The firmness was mainly in response
to the improved feeling in European markets,
and the more favorable statistical outlook for
holders generally. The deliveries on January
contracts were about 406,000 bushels.
Stocks In country elevators in the Northwest
were reported to be abont 9,965,000 bushels,
against 8.965,000 bushels last year. The report
of a cold wave coming may have had some ef
fect in strengthening the feeling, as severe
freezing neatliei att'jistime might do damage
to the unprotected growing wheat.
There was a fair business in corn, within a
narrow range. The feeling developed was rel
atively firmer early In the session, but extreme
figures were not maintained, the market ruling
easier as the session advanced. Deliveries on
January contracts were moderate. 100,000 to
150,000 bushels going around. The market
opened at about Tuesday's closing prices,
was firm for a time, eased oil some, and closed
a shade higher than Tuesday.
Oats were quiet and steady. Deliveries on
Jannary contracts were fair. There was mod
erate covering by shorts, and the feeling was,
on the whole, rather stronger.
A steady feeling prevailed in mess pork,
thongh prices for Jannary delivery averaged
lower.
An easier feeling was developed in lard.
Prices ruled 5c lower for the near and 2c for
the deferred deliveries.
A fairly active trade was reported in ribs.
Prices ruled 7)4 10c lower on the near apd 3
5c lower on the deferred deliveries, and the
market closed steady.

, The new year begins well for buyers and
sellers of real estate. In addition to Che
important transactions on Third avenue, re
ported elsewhere, the report published a
few days ago of the sale of No. 619 Liberty
street, lot 20x112, with a three-story busi
ness house, was confirmed. James Murray
Clark was the purchaser, and the price paid
was $35,000. He bought it as an invest
ment An Allegheny gentleman, well known in
political circles, was in close conference yes
terday afternoon with a Fourth avenne
agent, his object' being the purchase of
a property on Rebecca street, having a front
age of about 100 feet. The price asked was
830,000. The deal will probably be completed
to-day.

The report which had been current for sev
eral days to the effect that Black 4 Balrd had
purchased the renting department of the real
estate agency of Samuel W. Black & Co. was
confirmed yesterday by members of both firms.
This consolidation of the renting business of
these two agencies cannot but result advanta
geously to both landlords and tenants, as it
simplifies and centralizes more than half of the
renting business of the city, affording greatly
increased facilities for its prompt and satisfac
tory transaction.
The deal affects no other branch of Samuel
W. Black & Co.'s business. Both firms will
continue the sale and purchase of real estate,
as heretofore. James A Thompson, A J. Hop
kins, J. M. Allen, Alex. Adair and L.L. Mc
Clelland, all former employes of S. v". Black &
Co., have engaged with Black 4 Bard and will
occupy the same positions as under their for
mer employers.
Stock brokers, although business the pa?t
year did not come up to expectations, should
not be discouraged. Ten years ago speculation
In local securities was almost unknown. A
Fourth avenue broker, who went into business
In 1871, received only 812 60 in commissions for
his first six months' work. He stuck to it,
however, and is now one ot the leading opera
tors on Fourth avenue. Twenty years ago
nearly all the stocks dealt In in Pittsburg were
disposed of by public auction by Alexander
Mcllwaln, whose office was in the Splane build
ing, corner of 'Fifth avenue and Smithneld
street. The first approach to an exchange was
opened by George H. Thurston. John D. Bailey,
the oldest stock broker in the city, called the
list
The growth of the business since then has
been steady and rapid, lhe total sales of
stocks in 18S9 approximated 180,000 shares. A
few years ago half a dozen brokers did all the
business and had plenty of spare time. Now
there are not less than 23 brokerage firms, to
say nothing of individuals, who devote their
entire attention to 'stocks and bonds. There
are now listed on 'Change about 175 properties,
whose capital stock is not far from 8150,000,000.
Bonds of the city and other corporations raise
the total value of bonds and stocks available
for investment and speculation to about SC00.
000,000. These securities are all good, repre
senting for the most part home industries, In
which every citizen is interested.
Brokers, therefore, have no cause for com.
plaint. There is nothing to warrant the belief
that business will fall away, but much to en
courage the hope that it will expand, and that
the present year will show a material improve
ment over 18S9.
The Pittsburg Water Company, at 'Wilkins
burg, made a series of tests yesterday to asder
tain the height and distance to which water"
could be thrown without other power than the
natural pressure from the reservoir, near Wild
wood, on the Allegheny river, a, distance of
abont two miles. Two streams were thrown
to the top of the cupola on the Catholic
Church, 70 feet, the highest point in the bor
ough except the school house. The tests were
witnessed by a large nnmber of citizens, and
pronounced satisfactory. Wilkinsburg is pre
pared to make a strong fight against the next
fire.
The stockholders ot the East End and Wil
kinsburg Electric Street Railway, have aband
oned the idea of crossing the Pennsylvania
railroad tracks at Penn avenue by tunneling,
on account of the great expense, and it is said,
are considering the advisability of entering
the borough byanother route as follows: Along
East End avenne Irom Penn to Franklin street;
along the latter to either Pitt or day street;
thence to Rebecca across the Pennsylvania
railroad and np Wood to Penn and Penn to
Water street. The ordinance granting the
right of way through the streets will be pre
sented for the action of court at the next
meeting.
m a
Tne Engineering News has prepared a state
ment of the new railroad mileage constructed
during 1SS9, and finds that the aggregate was
just about 5,000 miles. This compares with
7,028 miles built in 1888.12,983 miles in 1887,
8.123 miles In 1886 and 3,131 miles in 18S5. ac
cording to the figures in Poor's Manual. The
result, therefore, is very like what all the Indi
cations had led one to suppose it would be.
The JfeicM finds thai few long lines were built,
and this, too. is in harmony with previous
knowledge. The average length of the exten
sions was only 19 miles. The State of Wash,
ington, in the Pacific Northwest leads In show
ing the largest amount of addition, namely 353
miles, but Georcia stands second with 315
miles, and over 2,000 miles of the new construc
tion is In the States south, of the Ohio and east
of the Mississippi.
As to the outlook for the present year.lt is
yet too early to make any definite statements.
The total is hardly likely to be less than for
1889, and that may doubtless safely be accepted
as the minimum.
The New York Dally Investigator says. "It
is announced that in April next Andrew Carne
gie will secure a majority of the
stock of the Pittsburg and Western
Railroad Company. Mr. Carnegie al
ready has 35,000 shares. The stock is 87,000,000
common and 85,000,000 6 per cent non-cumulative
preferred, both kinds of stocK being' of the
par value of 850 a share, amounting to 240,000
shares. The cost of the road and equipments
was 821,590,000. and the funded debt is $9,350,000.
The net revenue for 1SSS was 8494,797. The road,
wth leased lines, is 371.95 miles In length. It
has leased the Pittsburg and Northern, the

Mahoning.
EXCHANGE ELECTION
Absorb the Attentloa of Broken and Causes
Dnll Day.
The annual election yesterday, which pro
ceeded from 10 to S o'clock, interfered consid
erably with business at the Stock Exchange.
The sales were 35 shares, contributed by Air
brake and Wheeling Gas.
Changes were few, but they were almost in
variably in the direction of lower prices. Air
brake sold at 110. Luster Mining Company
closed at SO bid and 40 offered. Wheeling Gas
brought 20 at the first call, and closed at 19 bid.
Union Switch and Signal was bid down to 15.
Tractions, while dull, showed no particular
change.
The weakness of the market was not due to
any adverse change in conditions, bnt to lack of
orders and distraction caused by the election.

A GOOD STAET.
First Business Day of 1S00 Shows a Bis
Gain Over 18S9.
Business at the banks yesterday started off
In fine form. The exchanges were larger than
on any day of 18S9 and abou t 8600,000 In excess
of those for the corresponding day of the old
year. This is a good beginning for 1890, and
shows that the era of prosperity which set In 12
months ago is still In full force and effect
There was a poor demand for money, which
was easy at 607 per cent and checking and de
positing were heavy. Currency was more plen
tiful as a result of the heavy holiday sales,
bringing out large quantitlerof small notes
which had been hoarded. The exchanges were
83.464,03 33 and the balances 8195,141 07.
Said a prominent cashier: "Without being
tight money will probably work a little close
until after the yearly settlements, about the
middle of the month, when It will be easier so
easy in fact as to cause a revival in speculation,
which has languished for some time. I do not
mean that there will be a craze for speculation,
bnt that investments in good securities, such as
we have at home will be larger.
"Of course legitimate business will be taken
care of, as It always has been, and I think it
will experience 'such an expansion this year
as will eclipse all former records. There will
be a large number of new enterprises started
np, and old ones will be enlarged. I cannot see
how the business outlook could be improved."
Money on call at New York yesterday was
tight, ranging from 8 to 45 net cent; last loan, 30;
closed at 30 bid. Prime mercantile paper.

MONEY ON THE JUMP.
.
A Rise to Forty-Five Checks an Upward
Movement In Railroad Shares Nearly
Everything Fractionally Lower
Bonds Improve.
New Yobk, January 2. The monetary
situation was once more the most1 important
factor in the stock market, and althongh a
marked advance was scored in the morning,
the stiffening np of rates in the afternoon
wiped out most of the improvement, and in
many cases prices fell below thosp of Tues
day evening. The confident feeling which
was so prominent on(Tnesday was still con
spicuous this .morning, and althongh open
ing prices were rather irregular, and if any
thing generally lower, the buying for the long
account was such thatetrengthwasdeveloped.
The price of white lead was to be advanced
c a pound. It was stated, and there was a
story that the forthcoming statement would
show a smaller capital stock than Is generally
supposed. It rose from 20 to 21, but reacted
with the remainder of the market, finally clos
ing only fractionally higher than Tuesday. The
Coalers, among active stocks, were specially
strong In the forenoon, but lost all of their
gains later, while Jersey Central. which opened
with a gain or 1, was a traction lower at the
close. Among the inactive shares, Chicago, Ht
Louis and Pittsburg preferred was the only
feature of note, ana it continued Its remark
able upward movement, rising 3 to 49, and re
ta!ned,most of the gain at the close.
The upward -movement came to an end
.toward noon, when the rates for money began
to rise; and the traders who had been covering
aborts aealn turned over to the fjsar side.

Railroad bonds were a little more active than
usual of late.-the total sales of all being Sl,086
000, but the only active features were the
Wabash Issues, the-flrst-furnisbing 893,000 and
the second 892,000. The market-was firmer than
In stocks, and although the final changes were
generally unimportant they are principally In
the upwald direction,, Chicago.-Bt. Louis and
Pittsburtr rose 21o" 100!
The Post says: Allot lastweek the chief
cause of the lower prices for stocks was the ap
prehension of tight money. This culminated
on Monday by the advance in the Bank of En
gland rate of discount and the advance on
money rates here to 40 per cent per annum.
The Coal stocks were additionally depressed by
the bad outlook for the coal trade and by enor
mous short selling. Stocks generally have ad
vanced in exact proportion to the relation of
the stringency in the money market, and the
Coal stocks especially have recovered on the
covering of shorts.
This forenoon money was still 8 to 10 per
cent, and the street was not entirely relieved
Irom apprehensions of higher rates, but it was
plain that except for that the general market
would go higher.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
The year Is too young for any new develop
ments in produce lines. Everything is quiet.
The recent advance In cabbage has brought
large quantities to our markets, much of which.
Is inferior stuff. Much that has been coming
ot late cannot be sold at any price, having
passed the border line of preservation. Apples
are weaVer. Potatoes are slow at old rates.
Sweet; potatoes are in poor demand, and mar
kets are weak at quotations, as they are wont
to be at this season of the year. Weather con
tinues unfavorable to an improvement in dairy
products. Pasturage is not often as good at
this time of the year, and the effect is seen, in
cheap butter, Eggs, too, are qniet, weather
being favorable to an early and unusual yield
in this line.

MR. A. R. MORRIS,
A well-known gentleman of Sharpsburg, re
siding on Eleventh street, and employed at the
extensive steel works of Messrs. Spang, Coal
I ant & Co., of Sharpsburg. has passed through
an eventful experience. His catarrh caused a
stuffed-up feeling abont his nose and eyes.
The catarrhal secretion that dropped from bis
head into his throat was so tenacions and hard
to raise that in the morning it would often gag
him and cause him to feel sick at his stomach.
His hearing became dull, he took cold very
easily, had no appetite in the morning, and as
his food did not digest properly: gas formed in
his stomach, canning pain. He often felt dizzy
and lost flesh. He tried various treatments,
but without success. He also used local treat
ments, but his disease gradually grew worse
In this condition he began treatment with the
physicians ot the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti
tute. 323 Penn avenue, and became cured by
their constitutional medicines, which are
always curative and permanent in their action.
Ha can be seen at either his residence or place
of business, and will gladly tell anyone further
about his condition and cure.

"I was afraid of consumption. I had a con
stant hawking and spitting. I coughed and
felt a soreness and pain in my lungs. My
throat became sore and ulcerated, breath
short. I lost flesh, and had night sweats and
many other symptom. It gives me pleasure
to add my testimony to the hundreds already
published, to my complete cure by these physi
cians. "I now weigh more than ever before and feel
well and strong.
