January 13, 1SJKL J The run of stock: was below average, but markets showed little animation, and some prices were a shade lower than last Hon. day. But this was dne more than anything else to lower quality of offerings. Offerings of cattle varied Tery little from last week in number, bnt quality showed some depreciation. Demand was only fair, and range of prices snowed a slight decline from last Monday. The range was as follows: Prime, heary Western beeves, weighlnc 1,(00 to 1,600 pounds, S3 2505 40, with the majority of sales at the former figure. Medium weights, 1.350 to L50 pounds, MS5Q510; do, 1,200 to 1.300 pounds. H 604 83: pnme light weights, 900 to 1,100. pounds, (4 151 60; common to fair thin and rough steers, J3 504.

Butchers report a difficulty in securing the kind of cattle suitable for our market. The kind wanted here for the general local trade is not the prime heavy steer, but the pnme light weight, ranging from 1,100 to 1.300 pounds. Consignments to the Herr's Island yards this week consisted in the main of cattle too light and common for our trade. Sberp nnd Lambs. There was a light supply and fair demand. All offerings were quickly sold at the following range of prices: Best heavy Western and native wethers, 3 30 to $5 60: good to choice medium weights, 5 05 to $5 20; fair to medium do, $4 55 to H 85: common and mixed lots, S3 SO to $4 30; lambs, 5c to 6c per pound.

Supply was shorter than last Monday, bnt butchers were moderate in their wants and markets were a shade easier.

The general situation of hog market showed a lower range of prices than a week ago. At Bast Liberty there was a heavy run of -hogs this morning, and prices were off from last week 1016c per hundred. The range of prices there tor carload lots was S3 653 80. The Some Sad Mooc As has been the case for a number of weeks past, there was a scarcity of good, smooth butcher cattle at the Bast Liberty yards to day, and on this grade prices were fully 15c per hundred above the rates of last week. For a month past there has been a steady apprecia tion of values in light, tidy butcher cattle, a crade which our market calls for. The ad vance on this grade the past month has been not less than 63c perlOO pounds. The offerings tuia week are far below the wants of local trade. Choice light bntcher cattle are at a premium to-day both, at Liberty and Herr's Island, but all other grades are slow. MEAT ON THE HOOP. The Condition of Bnslnesn at the EaatLlberty Stock Yard.

The btorm Knock the Life Oat of the Wheat Pit Colder Weather Serves to Stiffen Price The Pork Market Was Lifeless. CHICAGO The wheat market to-day was very qoict and featureless. Outside business was restricted some by the interruption of tele graphic communication, the wires being down on account of severe storms. The visible supply promised a good liberal decrease, but the figures were Wow in coming in on account of the difficulty with the wires, and the uncer tainty of what the showing might be made by operators a little backward about trading. The cold weather and the prospects of a lib eral decrease in the visible supply bad a ten dency to Create firmness in the "market, and srices averaged slightly better, advancing Jo -orer Saturday's closing, and closed Kc higher. Domestic markets were generally kteadyand firm. Com ruled very dull, little interest being manifested, and trading was of a lisht local character, fluctuations oeing limited to a frac tional range. The feeling was steady. There was no Influence of consequence developed, the cold weather not having much effect on values. Oats were slow and without new features of Importance. There was only a moderate trade reported in the market for bog products, and there were no important changes to note.

Patterson, er "West Lib erty, crier in the Quarter 'Sessions Court, has been a Justice of the Peace for 31 years, having served six regular terms and held over a year owing to the adoption of the new Constitution in 1874. The 'Squire has never cut much of a figure in criminal prac tice, though very familiar with it in his capacity in the Criminal Court Hestatestbat in the first place he is not popular with some people because he doesn't always feel like entertaining suits, and when he gets an affair patched op at much more expendi ture of trouble than a hearing would be, the plaintiff sometimes feels that he doesn't like it because he ''didn't get no law," he came for a pinch and not ior a settlement In such cases there are costs') and neither side feels like paying them, one party on much the same-ground as thekk man who objected to paying a doctor bill Because the doctor had given very little medicine. 'Squire Patterson finds the vocation of peacemaker an unprofitable one. As priest of Hymen, however, the posi tion is not to be despised in West Liberty, agood many people availing themselves of his services, especially in times like the present, when the mud is too deep to allow a wedding party to come to the city. Mar riage fees, combined with some work in con veyancing, make the office a good enough thing to have in a family as an adjunct Sqnire.Paerson's experience merely em phasizes the generalization of philosophical historians, that reforms come from below and not from above. If people want peace aDle Justice of the Peace, who will be in fact, and not merely inname, what the title signifies, they can easily get them.

The Condition ot Seal Estate Satisfactory to ' Those Handling It. ALLEGHENY CITI HOLDING UP HER END According to nearly all the real estate agents, men of means are missing a good thing by not putting np more business houses. They say there is a surfeit of office buildings just now. There arc more of them than, the demand requires, but the supply of business and warehouses of the proper kind is by far too small to go round. The expan sion of business next spring is likely to be restricted by inability to afford it accommo dation. This is respectfully submitted to Pittsburg capitalists, George- L Whitney takes a rosview of the business ontlook, and particularly as regards the speculative interest He re marked yesterday: "I am well pleased with the way business looks, and think we will have a good year. The Government continues to augment the circnlating me dium by issuing silver certificates, and so long as this is kept up there will be little dan ger of tight money. With money plenty, busi ness cannot be otherwise than brisk." In referring to local corporations, Mr. Whit ney said there had been more of them char tered in the last three years than in the whole previous history ot Pittsburg, and many more were talked or. A good many oi tnem, ne thought, would fall to crystallize, and a good many more would be unprofitable to the stock holders. Real estate agents and dealers arejereatly en couraged over the prospect of a heary business when the Season fairly opens. Business is al ready picking up, bat it will not be in full swing nntil the weather settles and the roads improve. The inquiry extends to nearly every description ot property, bnt business and resi dence sites are in most demand. For the for mer it is thought there will be a slight harden ing ot values, but no particular change in the latter. A prominent agent remarked: '"One good feature of the market, indicating solidity and permanency, is the comparatively small amount of ground bought for speculation. The bulk of it is purchased for improvement." Allegheny is manfully holding her own in the march of improvement that is sweeping over this favored part of the country. The Improve ment of the hill wards last year was equal to anything in the East End, or any other district around the city, and the promise is for still greater strides this year. Other parts of the city made almost as good a record. Our enter prising neighbor is expanding. m In a recent case in Ohio the facts brought out in a trial showed that a landlord leased to a tenant the first floor of a building, retaining the cellar himself, where he carried on a busi ness requiring considerable heat, but not enough, however, to affect the health or com fort of the occupants of the floor above. It did, bowever, dry out the brown paper which the plaintiff carried in stock in his business, thus injuriously affecting it. When the place was leased there was no men tion made of the kind of paper to be stored. It did not appear that other paper than the brown was injuriously affected. It was held that there was no nuisance or Interruption of quiet enjoyment on the part of the defendant. The building which Mr. Pulitzer is erecting in New York will be one Of the sights of the city. It will contain 150 offices in addition to the rooms which are to be used In getting out the Worfd newspaper. The lot is 113 feet on Park Row and rues a trifle over 1S3 feet down Frankfort street, and cost $630,000. The build ing will cost $1,250,000, bringing the total invest ment up to $1,880,000.

The Stock Market Depressed The Bead ing Decision- and It Effects Wheel Ing and Lake .Erie Strength ened Baslriess Only Moderate. New York, January 13. The stock market was quiet to-day, with the usual preponderance of a few stocks, in the amount of bnslness uooe, and a general sagging tendency carried prices down fractionally in the general list, while stocks were again positively weak and in some of them material losses were scored. Beading and its affairs were the great center of interest, and the dissatisfaction over the course oaffairs was shown in the pressure of long stack for sale In the early dealings. The decision deny, ing the Injunction against the voting trust was known shortly after the opening of the board, but seemed to have no material In fluence u Don the course of the stock, si itleaves things just as they are, and is regarded as a substantial victory for the Corbln party. The bears, seeing the drift of the stock, proceeded to cut the market away from the long sellers, and large blocks of It changed bands in the first hour, resulting in a decline of per cent. The other Coalers sympathized closely with Beading and Jersey Central, and Delaware and Hudson sola at materially lower prices than last week, the former at. its lowest price show ing a loss ot 3 per cent, Lackawanna was 'active, but was still well supported, though it sagged off with the others and closed with a loss of over 1 per cent. There was little of interest in the rest of the list, though New England displayed consider able strength in the face of the early declines, as did also the Wheeling and Lake Erie stocks and Sugar refineries. The last named, in fact, was the only really strong stockin the market, and stands alone this evening in showing a material improvement. "Kansas and Texas was weak throughout, but rallied slightly toward the close, when covering of shorts caused a slight rally in the general list, and the Coal stocks, especially Jersey Central, rose consider ably above the lowest figure. There was some favorable news received, chief ot which was the arrangement of the differences between the Central and Union Pacifies, but the other items were of small importance. Money was snbjected to a little flurry, and the rate on call went up to 12 per cent, though that ngnre was not held, and loans were made as low as 4 per cent afterward. The market closed quiet and firm on the rally. Railroad bonds showed a moderate volnme of business, and the Kansas aid Texas issues, as well as the Beading bonds were conspicuous for fluctuation and weakness. Out ot the total of SI. 614.000 the Kansas and Texas lennt until $184,000 the sixes $139,000, and the Reading-! uio v.tM,wu, AiuuD iu buuBo uoQdg, uowever, scored any material loss, and the tone of the rest ot the list was decidedly firm for the active issues, many of which are materially bigber. Minneapolis and St. Louis equipments sixes rose 634. Governments have been dnll and steady. States bonds were entirely neglected.
