LIBERTY LIYE STOCK. Cattle Higher at Ghicaso and Lower Here, and Drovers Are HOUENIXG OVER A LOST WEEK. Sheep Alone Manasre to Improve on the Prices of Last Week. HOGS DRIFTING TO A LOWER LEVEL OFFICE OF PlTTSnUEO DISPATCH, 1 Wednesday. January 15, 1S30. J Uarkets give no signs of improvement this week over last. In fact, the general tone is weaker, and so far as cattle and hogs are concerned, prices are a shade lower than they were a week ago. Sheep only managed to hold their own and this was due to light receipts. Receipts of cattle for the week footed up about 115 carloads, an increase of 35 loads OTer last week. The big run had a demor alizing influence on trade and prices were fully 15c lower all along the line than they were a week ago. Light, smooth butcher cattle suf fered least from tbe decline. Markets were weak on Monday, and have been growing weaker ever since. While stock was mostly cleaned up to-day, there is little doubt that this was accomplished by shading prices. There were some five loads of prime Ohio cattle in the offerings, which were sold in a retail way at a range of SI "5 5 35. In carload lots the outside price ob tained was $4 43. The same quality of cattle would haTe brought J4 60 a week ago. In Fnvor of Buyer. The situation was in favor of buyers all along the line, by reason of the large receipts, and they made tbe most of their ODportunlty in bearing markets. The demand for veal calves has fallen off since last week, and, while sup ples were not large, there were sufficient for all the needs of local trade. Fresh cows are slow and a shade lower than last week. Drovers aro not verv jubilant over the situa tion, as tbey claim that prices ere higher in Chicago and lower here this week than last. Both at East Liberty and Herr's Island this week there was a largo run of inferior stock, for which there is little demand in our mar kets. Too much of Chicago's refuse is dumped into Pittsburg stock yards. All low grade cattle finds hard roads to travel when they arrive here, aud shippers may as ell recognize this fact at once. facep, I.ntnbs and Hoca. Tbe supply varied very little from last week, but markets were active at higher prices. All dealers report an advance on last week's rates, somo putting the advance as great as 60c per cwt. The facts would justify the statement of a 25c advance. Lambs failed to hold np In price with wethers owing to unfavorable advices from New York, and the fact that supplies of the farmer have been very liberal for a week or two past. At Herr's Island this week h lambs have been very scarce and at a premium. But this was excep tional, and will, no doubt, be remedied by next Monday. The supply of hogs was large and markets show cakening tendencies. At Chicago to-day S3 73 was the outside price for selected packing hogs, according to advices received by one of our leading packers. Prices at East Libertv are very little better. The weather i not at all favorable to markets in this line. Lard shows drooping tendencies and heavy bogs are weak. DlcCnll fc Co.' Review. The supply of cattle liberal, weather being bad, market ruled slow at a decline of fully 15 25c per cwt on all grades except prime heavy, which were steady at last week's prices.

The Wheat Market Crippled by a Canard A Big Order From Pormnl Pork Featureless and Slightly Lower. CHICAGO Only a light business was trans acted In wheat to-day, and the market ruled quiet Prices were slightly lower than yester day's closing. Some few outside orders were re ceived. The market opened easy and declined about 56. due mainly to the reported clos ing down of some mills in the Northwest, which was denied later. A Chicago exporting honse received a cable to-day asking for tenders on 20.000 barrels of flour for the Portuguese Government The market recovered about lie from the early de cline on the denial of the mills shutting down, but again became easy and closed o lower than yesterday. There was verv little of interest to note in corn, trading being of a light local character. The feeling developed on the whole was easier, though no material decline was established. Operators were trading almost entirely in May and July, the other futures being dull and neglected. , . . , There continues a steady market for any deliverv of oats, notwithstanding the fact that the price of this future is at a point that leaves no margin for carrying to longer futures.

A Laborer' Death Results From a Blow Struck With a Stone. rSPEClAL TELIQBAK TO THI DISrATCH.l New YoEK,Jannary 15. A young Irish man and two colored boys, named Jenkins, got into a fight at the corner of Troy avenue and Pacific street, in Brooklyn, to-day. Patrick Hoffard, a laborer at work near by, separated them, boxed their ears and told them to go home. Then he went back to work. A few minutes later the colored boys crept up unnoticed behind him and truck him on the back of the head with a cobble stone Which one struck the blow has not yet been determined. Hoffard was taken in an ambulance to St. Mary's Hospital where it was found that his skull was fractured. At 9 o'clock this morning he breathed his last His death was caused by conenssion of the brain, brought about by the blow upon his head. The colored boys were arraigned for murder this morning and were held without bail for examination. MARINE HOSPITAL CHANGES. Snreeon Goodwin, ot Cincinnati, to Succeed burgeon Eanl M. Carrloeton.

SCARCITY OF BUSINESS HOUSES. I, Hustling McKeesport Bound to Make Her Mark in the Business World. THE BIG CHDBCH DEAL OFF FOB GOOD. The deal for the big church at the corner of Smithfield street and Sixth avenue, about which there has been no end of talk the past few weeks, is off for good. Henry Arnold, Chairman or the ChurcU Commit tee having the business in charge, said so yesterday evening. He added: "The propo sition of the syndicate to lease the property for 99 years could not be entertained. It would be equivalent to a sale, and that would vitiate our title. Beside, if we had been disposed to accept, the offer was con siderably under what we think the property is worth. It is not on the market, and never has been, but if we could get what we hold it at we might let it go on a reasonable lease. The congregation is under no pres sure to part with the property,- and may take a notion sometime to put up a business block there themselves. "We have had no other offer that we thought enough of to take under consideration, and I think it will be a long time before the property passes ont of our bands." It will be remembered by many that the late Peter Dressier was an active agent in tbe erec tion of this fine building. It cost about 8103, 000, but material and labor were considerably dearer then than now. ... There are two ways of looking at mortgages. When placed to raise money for purposes of speculation in which there is a large element of risk they are dangerous. When given to im prove or buy property that has a fixed value they are safe In tbe latter case they indicate enterprise and prosperity. Money raised on mortgage to invest in Pittsburg real estate is as secure as Dank stock. The market is so well conditioned and so active that investments in it nearly aln ays turns out well. In some cases, where extravagant prices are paid, the profit is smalt In no caie where average discretion is esercised is there a possibility of serious loss. One of tbe oldest mortgage brokers in the city remarked yesterday: "I don't know of anything safer than mortgages on real estate. Values in this city and its environs have hard ened so slowly, and there is such a good de mand for lands and houses,' that I think they are up to stay. 1 can see no signs of a reaction. It's the healthiest market that I have ever seen. It rests on a sound bottom. I see no reason to be afraid of mortgages if judiciously made." In regard to the scarcity of business property, and tbe danger of going to the other extreme, a member of tbe firm of vV,A. Herron & Sons said yesterday: "There is danger of owners of downtown business property overdoing tbe market owing to the prevailing scarcity. Many complaints have been made of owners renting over the heads of present occupants, al though they were willing to pay in most cases what would be deemed a fair price, because someone else offered to pay a higher price in order to get a place to tide over tbe present emergency, and until more houses could be put up. Persons who are now contracting to pay excessive rents will do so only for a short time, as no legiti mate business can afford to pay now the rent of property valued five or ten years ahead. As soon, therefore, as more bnsiness houses go up aud the present demand cannot but stimu late building people who are now agreeing to pay exorbitant rates will seek new quarters and leave the owners of their present quarters without tenants. 'No doubt the enhancement of values and the prospective increase of taxes warrant a fair Increase of rents, but owners will act wisely, and in their own interests, if they see that only a fair and just rent is placed on their houses, and pay no attention to persons making fancy bids. A good, permanent tenant is worth keeping, but ho must be treated fairly or he won't stay." McKeesport is keeping step with other Alle gheny county towns in the march of improve ment. A citizen of that borough was in the city yesterday, and said that all kinds of business there was unusually active. A large number of fine buildings are going up, ot which tbe River, view Park plan is getting its full share. This is becoming the aristocratic part of town. The main avenue leading to it has been graded and paved. Xots on the principal streets are selling at S70 to SS0 a foot front. The street railway is being extended up the Yough side of town. Industrial expansion is also a marked feature of McKeesport. Work on tbe Monongahela glass furnace plant is crogrosslng ramdly. The Novelty Steel Wheel Company, at BisseU, Is in shape to market is product. Several new en terprises are talked of. All the difficulties in the nay nt building the bridge across the Monongahela to Dnquesne have been removed, and the work on it will begin In a short time. The Pittsburg Bulletin hits tbe nail squarely on tbe head when it says: The man ti ho can not get along in tbe Iron City during the year of grace, 1890, cannot succeed elsewhere. And the man who is divided in mind on the question of going or of staying had better place tbe solid n eight of good sense in tbe trembling balance and stay right here. Brains, energy and capital, invested between the Mononga hela and the Allegheny, will yield dividends surer than those accruing from the same goodly trio invested west of the Father of Waters. There is no city or State or Territory in tho Far West whose immediate prospects are brighter than those of Pittsburg. ON THE LOSING SIDE. Fair Trading In Stocks, Hat Prices Soft IJke the Wrntbrr.

LOCAL SA3IS0H8 Do Their Level Beat to Hold Dp the OU Marker. The oil market yesterday just about kept its head out of water. It was quiet and slow as a man who has a note to pay and don't know where to borrow the money. The opening was 104; highest, 105; lowest, 104; closing, 104. It opened a little off from the close of the previous day, but a buying spurt by Henry Fisber and others sent it up a little, after which it sagged, recovered some of the lost ground, and closed steady at near the highest point of the day. Local trading amounted to perhaps 60,000 barrels. Other points were quiet. There was nothing, visible or invisible, on the surface or unaer it, to indicate a marked change for either better or worse. The market lias seldom been so expressionless, or the brokers so much in doubt as to which way the cat will jump. Features of the BInxket. Corrected dally by John M.

Conleri nnd Rngnr the Only Prominent Features of the Share Market Bean Blnlto a Drive Gain nt the Close. New York, January 15. The stock market to-day was dull, narrow and contracted, as usual of late, but thete was a better distribu tion of the business done, though tbe Coal stocks were still most prominent in the regular list, and Sugar among tho Trusts. The tone of the market, however, showed a marked im provement over that of the past few days,being firm to strong after the first half hour, and the day's business resulted In marking higher prices for almost everything on the list of active stocks. The bears were early on hand this morning with a demonstration against the gen eral list, which had the appearance of hammer ing to cover upon, but the result of the drive was only fractional losses, and tbe support given was such that the attack was soon dis continued. There were signs that the pressure was to be changed from the coalers to the grangers, and some selling of St. Paul was done upon a story that the managers had charged a larger amount to capital account than they should have done, and the insinuation was made that if it had not been for this kind of bookkeeping there would have bc'U little or nothing for tbe preferred BtocK. The decline in St. Paul, however, was measured by the smallest fractions, and the other grangers were equally well held. Chair man walker's opinion upon tbe Union Pacific Northwestern alliance was again made to do duty against those stocks, but Nortliwestern scarcely moved at all, and the success in Union Pacific was on tbe same scale as that in St. Paul. Bucar was firm from tbe outset, the traders being prominent as buyers. After tbe first drive the market settled down to dullness and firmness, bat late in the day when covering in tbe Coal stocks became noticeable, the upward movement all around became more pronounced and material ad vances were scored alt over the list. The spe cialties were all more prominent for strength tl- ,n usual of late, and Oregon Short Line was still weak, being tbe only stock to show a mate rial loss at the close of business. The market finally closed dull, but strong, and generally at the best prices of tbe day, though in all but two cases these were bnt fractionally better than last evening's figures. Short Line is down 1 per cent, but Sugar rose 2, and Manhattan Railroad bonds were dull again, the sales of all issues being only 989,000, while the move ments in the market were on a smaller scale, even than during the past few days. The only feature of the trading was the pronounced strength in Wisconsin Central incomes, which rose from 64 to 67, the other changes being gen. erally for insignificant fractions. The -Pott says: The disappointment has for the time being turned the majority of the board room speculators to tbe bear side, and in the last few days the outstanding short interest, especially in the Coal stocks, has been so great ly increased that a sharp upward reaction is likely to come at any time, and this is more likely to happen in Reading than In any other stock, even if it goes much lower. The nar rowness of the market is still tbe subject of unceasing comment on the part of those whose business it is to make proflU on t of wide fluct THURSDAY,, JANUARY uations, caused by the manufacture of disturb ing rumors and sudden unexpected and un favorable developments.

Curbstone sales are fairly active, but it is pre sumable that they are affected by shading quotations. Total receipts asbnlletlned, 21 cars. By Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago, 6 cars of oats, 1 of corn, 2 of rye, 2 ot hay, 2 or flour, 1 of malt. By Baltimore and Ohio, 1 car of corn, 2 of hay. By Plttsbnrg, Cincinnati and St. Louis, 1 car of millfeed, 1 of oats, 1 of wheat. By Pittsburg and Western, 1 car of hay. Oats are in short supply and markets are firm.' Much of the com coming in of late Is in bad shape, owing to warm, molsty weather. Re ceipts from the far West are coming to markets in a demoralized condition, and as a result prices show drooping tendencies. At the Grain Exchange to-day the great questions were as to reporting sales of ungraded grain and the proper place to hold the World'a Fair. Con cerning the latter the drift of. opinion was In tavor of Chicago, but a strong under-current which did not find expression favored the American metropolis, namely. New York. The sentiment of the'Excbange, which took shape in the form of a resolution concerning sales of ungraded stuff, was that they should not be re ported, as tbe effect was hurtful to markets.

Lumber. It is very rare that builders are able to get In as much work In winter as this season. As a resnlt demand for lumber is unexpectedly good. Tbe failure of the snow crop in Western Virginia and Michigan proves a hindrance to logging, and higher prices the coming season are not improbable as a result.

Grand Master Carr, In his annual address, al luded to the depressed condition of agricultural interests at tbe present time. Farmers are compelled, be said, to pay too much interest and borrow too much money, and I e explained that farmers are, forced to market their prod ucts at low figures owlnc to the machinations of trnsts and cliques. He insists that there should be more farmers in Congress. The stockholders of tbe Brownlow Mining Company, of SL Louis, who, npon the repre sentation of the President that the mine was worthless, sold tbeir stock to Denver parties, have discovered that a vein ot fine smelting ore, yielding SSOO per carload, was concealed by the former superintendent until their stock was disposed of. An investigation will be had, and suit brought to set aside the transfers of stock. The Honse Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures called upon Secretary Windom at the Treasury Department and discussed, in formally, the question ot silver coinaee. The Secretary informed the committee that he was preparing a bill on the subject embodying the features of the plan outlined in his annual re port, which he expected to have ready for sub mission to Congress by next Monday.
