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. We
give the following as ruling prices, and mar

The supplv of hogs was fair; weather bad,
market slow, except on good light, which are
selling readily at S3 754j3 80, while common

We do not look for any improvement as long as
tbe weather keeps tbe way it is.

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

There continues a steady market for any

the price of this future is at a point that leaves

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.

A SAFE INVESTMENT.
Little Danger of Losing Money by

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.

Business in the local stocks was good yester

Active stocks were Philadelphia Gas, Commer

The tendency ot prices was downward, and
most of the specialties were lower, though the
changes were in no case for more than frac

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.

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

Grain. Floor and Feed.
There has not been a sale on call this week.
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. At present tbe
prices of the past few months still hold good

The Wisconsin State Grange, Patrons of
Husbandry, is boldiug its annual session.
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.
