As a result there was little animation to markets. Prices however, held up fairly well to last week's range, especially on better grades. The supply of cattle was above last week and demand was light, and confined mainly to prime heavy and the best light weights. There was, however, no disposition on tbc par: of holder to mike concessions, and pnees held up fairly will to rates of list week all along tbo line, l'nrae heavy Western bcoves weigh ing 1.500 to 1,600 &s sold at So 253 GO; medium weights. 1.350 to 1,450 fin, U 903 15; do, 1,2)0 to 1,300 as, fl 631 85; prime light wcifihts.

The run of cattle at East Liberty to-day va ried very little irom that of last Monday, the total being about 100 carloads. 1 be bulk of those received were common, and on these poorer grades markets ere off 15c per cwt. Choice stock held up well to last week's prices, and more could have been sold of this grada than w ere offered. Sheep were higher at East Liberty and land s steady at last week's prices, lings, too. have joined the upward movement, being 10c per. cvtt higher than last week. Ad vices to one of our leading packers from Chi cago to-day are that hogs are 10c higher there than the closing rates of Saturday.

Chicago Wheat The market was weak and lower, with limited outsido trading, and local operators also disposed to do little busi ness. Fluctuations were confined within mod erate limits, covering Jicand the market closed Jh65c lower than Saturday. There was some covering of Slay wheat on foreign account. Ocean freight was stdl operating against an export movement, and rail freights from here to the seaboard for wheat are 5c higher than for corn, which is an uncommon occurrence. The export clearances were moderate, aggre gating from three ports 9,600 barrels of flour and 72.000 bushels of wheat, equal to about 115,. 000 bushels. Domestic markets were generally quiet and barely steady, with Toledo and Balti more again firm for cash. The visible supply showed a decrease of 660, 000 bushels but this being about what was ex pected, it did not have any special effect on the market. Receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth aggregated 300 cars. Local receipts were 70 cars and estimates for to-morrow 60 cars. There n as withdrawn from store 47,803 bushels, of hich 46,844 bushels was No. '1 spring. This ev idently is a part of the heat for which vessel room and storage until the opening of naviga tion was engaged recently. The market held steady early 111 the day, and up to noon fluctua tions ere confined w ilhln 4c,but shortly there after began to weaken, and prices declined to a point 54C below outside priccs,touched. It was claimed that New York sent In some selling or ders, and the timid longs or those who had bought for a quick turn, sold out, helping the decline. Corn Receipts at 11 points footed up 1,241,000 bushels and the shipments 1,191,000 bushels. Receipts here were smaller than expected, 183 cars coming in, but the grading was somewhat improved, 25 per cent being np to the specula tive grade. Estimates for to-morrow are placed at 335 cars. The trade to-day was again light, fluctuations being narrow, with most of the transactions local, though there was some selling of May by receivers. The feeling de veloped was b irely steady, indications of weak ness being manifested at times. Ibe visible supnly showed an increase of 362,000 bushels, while that of one year ago was 1,394,000 bushels. Oats The 1 eek opened with a firm feeling in the oats market As compared with last week's closing quotations there wasc Improvement for January delivery. Some little demand from shorts exitsed. and the market was favor ably influenced bj the ready demand with which cash oats on the sample market are meeting. No in store oats of consequence ap peared on sale. Limited quantity of No. 2 sold at 20ic February derived some little strength from the foregoing conditions and sold higher. The firmness f o rcash and near futures pervaded the entire market but Has modified to steadi ness as the more distant deliveries were reached. A trifle more speculative interest was shown, and the attendance of operators was scmewnat increased, ail to some gain in trade. At the same time, as compared with what constitutes real activity, the market could not be called otherwise than quiet. The visible supply was increased, as is elsewhere reported, and local stocks also show a moder ate gain. There were inspected in all 117 cars, hfch was larger than at the close of last week, but was not large, and, with 42 cars on special track, the offerings of consignments were again very moderate, inere were taKen Irom store 28,504 bushels, of wbich 27,623 bushels were No 2. New iork reported 1,375 bushels. No 3 white to go to store sold at 21c lor special house. Oats by sample met with good inquiry and the market favored sellers, a firm feeling being maintained, though values were not changed materially. Jless poik Quite an active business was transacted in the market for mess pork, though largely in May contracts. There as some de mand on investment account, and short pur chased rather freely. Oponingsales were made at 5c advance, and this was followed by a fur ther appreciation of 1215c Toward the close the feeling was iot quite so strong, and prices receded 7KI0c, and closed comparatively stead. Oflerings were fair and chiefly by local speculators. Prices fluctuated considerably 1 thin the range given. Lard More was doing in the lard market and a stronger feeling prevail -d. Offers were fair, and the demand was moderately active. Prices u ere advanced 25c, and the market closed steady at medium figures. bbort ribs Quito a good business was trans acted in the market for short rib sides, and the feeling was stronger. Offerings were moderate ly free, and the dejiand was considerably im proved, especially on local and outside account Prices v, ere advanced 7$10c per cwt, and the market closed steady at medium figures.

A HAPPI PAMIiI OF EAILEOAD PEOPLE The deal between the Americus Club and the owners of the Hamilton Hotel, concern ing which the gossips have been busy for several weeks, has been broken off and will not be resumed. This information comes from an authoritative source There was no dispute about the price, $110,000, but the conservative members of the club could not see their way clear to make the investment, and for the present preferred to lease. The club has no place in view, but will watch the big buildings going up and endeavor to secure a hall and side rooms in one of them. The hall must be at leas: 120 feet long. The Southslde is in a whirl of improvement in which the Mt Washington district cuts a conspicuous figure. A company comprising several well-known citizens with abundant cap ital at their command has just been formed to assist in the general development For tho present the company will confine its operations to West Liberty borough, where it has pur chased a tract of land, upon which will be erected an extensive plant for the manufacture of a fine quality of brick which will be utilised by the company in the building of a large num ber of bouses next spring and summer. These will be sold on oasy terms in order to attract popnlation and expedite settlement Opera tions will begin as soon as the machinery can be set up, which will be within two or three weeks. This enterprise has already bad a stimulating effect upon real estate in the vicinity, 30 lots in the Boggs plan adjoining having Deen sold in the past few days, and they will be built on in the spring. Washington avenue is being paved its entire length, and street cars will be run ning in tbe near future. Many other improvements are going forward on the Southslde. The Lake Erie Railroad bas secured about all tbe land it wants, and is building commodious shops below Chartiers. A number of streets are being paved on and under the hill. The new Castle Shannon and Mt Oliver inclines are being pushed to comple tion as fast as possible. With these additional facilities for coming and going and getting around when there, and the further induce ment of cheap property, the Southside should, and no doubt will, settle up as rapidly as any other part of the city. 9 Concerning the railroad situation, Henry Clews t Co. say: "There has rarely been a period when the railroads were in a position more promising to the maintenance of uni formity of rates. The managers of tbe great Western systems show a disposition to main tain harmony, and to adjust from time to time such differences as may arise, upon a mutual policy of 'give and take,' rather than to follow the old-time course of rushing to arms upon any and every petty provocation, with conse quent demoralization among roads not con cerned in the original cause of quarrel. The so-called 'Gentlemen's Railroad Association' which might have been more properly called The Common Sense Railroad Association' has at least accomplished this amount of good. It has elevated tbe whole morale of railroad competition; and it may be reasonably hoped that, witb such evidence of good results, there will be no backsliding from the more rational and friendly relations now existing among the competing companies. Should there prove to be anything real in the rumors of a purpose on the part of the Union Pacific-N orthwestern combination to cease con nection with the 'Gentlemen's Association,' the event would be of little practical importance : for not only are all tbe parties concerned crowded with more freight than they can ac commodate, which is a guarantee against hos tility, but tbe same great banking interests that introduced the original 'Gentlemen's' agreement are still behind both tbe rumored seceder and the remaining members of the as sociation." A Chicago banker takes very little stock in the talk of easier money in that part of the country. He says: "The fact Is that loanable capital is now much more fully employed than is customary in January, and current demands for accommodation are larger than is ordinarily the case during tbe first month of the year. The open weather has compelled many poople to ask for renewals of loans that tboy would have cancelled if their property conld have been marketed. In other diiections obligations have been met and new loans have since been effected by the same people. In some localities in the West and Northwest the country roads have been and are still in very bad condition. In theso sections collec tions are necessarily slow, and bankers are obliged to fall back upon their Chicago corre spondents for assistance in carrying their regu lar customers." Jay Gould's marked improvement in health and his increasing activity In affairs are caus ing quite a little talk among those who were aware of his dangerous physical condition a year or so ago. At that time it was impossible to interest him in the details of any of his monetary ventures, and his old associates had to fall back on George. Lately, with stronger health, tbe familiar figure of the Little Wizard bas been noticed with increasing frequency In the Wall street district and George no longer represents his father in financial con ferences. Mr. Gould believes that outdoor exersise has done more to build him up anew than all the medicino his physicians have prescribed. Turning to a map of equatorial Africa, Mr. C. P. Huntington, the railroad king, the other day, laid his forefinger on a certain spot and remarked: "If I were a young man with S10.000 or $100,000, I'd go there and make millions." The spot was the town of Upoto, on the river Congo, near tbe northern boundary of the Congo Free State, distant about 700 miles from the Guinea coast "What would you do there, Mr..Huntington?" "Trade. Ivory, skins, pre cious stones?" "Rubber. You can buy rubber there to-day at a penny a pound. A young man might go there and pay five pence a pound for it and make a fortune." HOLD THEIR GROUND. Light Trading In Stocks, but the Undertone Indicative of Strenxtb. So far as business was concerned the stock market was rather tame yesterday, but the feel ing was good and quotations showed no dispesi tion to recede. The sales w ere 241 shares. The active properties were Philadelphia Gas, Pleas ant Valley Railway, Central Traction and La Norla. There was a brisk demand for Philadelphia Gas, with light offerings, indicating confidence on tbe part of holders. Pleasant Valley sold at 23JJ and closed at 23 bid. Central Traction brought 32 and closed at 32JJ bid. La Noria reached the extreme of its weakness, V, but was held at Jv Switch and Signal and Electric were a trifle nrmer, as were also Chartiers and Wheeling Gas. MOnKIKO. Bid. Asked, ArniBiTOos. Hid.

I A BIG J01IP. A Boom In OH Gives the Local Scalpers 'a tin. Petrolenm made a jump of 2i cents yester-t day, wnicn inaucea consiueraDie scalping, ont fears of a squeeze, which can always be relied upon to bob up when wanted, kept the boys within moderate bonnds, and the volume of trading was light for the amount of energy ex pended. The opening was rather tame, bnt the feeling soon improved, and at times during the day was qnite animated. It was a clear case ot bull, in which New York and Oil City played tbe leading part Both were b'lyers of cash oil here. Wire men were buyers in the fore noon, and later in tbe day the local crowd were sellers. The highest point 107K. was touched several times, but when blocks were offered they were refused, showing that tbe advance was the result of manipulation for a turn on small lots. Tbe little boom had every appear ance of having been created for the especial benefit of tbe small traders. Cash oil was at times within K of regular. This bears out tho idea of a scarcity of the stuff, for the time be ing at least The opening was 105J4, highest 107f. lowest 10 closing 107K. The feeling at the wind-up was steady. Refined was down at liondon and Antwerp. The Dobbs &. McClure well, near Ingram station, gives indications of being a good one. Saturday's clearances were 1SS.O00 barrels. PR0DDCEES DISAPPOINTED.

TELEnttAH TO THE DISIM.TCII.1 Washington, Pa., January 20 There have been many disappointments in this field re cently, the last being the Mack well. It reached tbe Gordon sand yesterday, bnt made no show ing ot oil. A little of tbe greasy stuff was found in the Gantz and stray sands, but not enough to mention. This is a great disappoint ment as tbe owners wero confident of getting a paying well in the Gordon horizon. The Franklin Oil Company's wildcat on the Simeon Wilson farm, is dry in both the Gantz and 50-foot sands. It will be drilled to the Gordon. The Wright wildcat, near Thompson ville, was shot on Saturday with 40 quarts, but it failed to respond. C. D. Robbins & Co.'s Wilson No. 2 is through the "Big Injun," and is suffering from a severe attack of salt water. It will be reamed down and cased. BCTLEE C0DATT OIL WELLS.

The stock market to-day presented the samo professional charac ter that it has for the past two weeks, while the general apathy of tbe general public was as marked as usual. The few active leaders were again ranged upon the side of lower figures. The firm undertone presented by the market, however, with tbe tenacity of holders of secur ities prevented any extended operations, and dullness was once more tbe ruling feature of the dealings. Owing to the drop in Sugar Refineries in Boston after the close of this market on Sat urday, that stock was made the target for the bears in tbe early dealings with some effect but later transactions saw a complete recovery of the losses snstalnep, the other trusts follow ing, though Cotton Oil, because of the fact that there bas been no dividend declared upon tbe Southern Cotton Oil, was sluggish in the reaction, the inference being tbat the business of the company ts not quite satisfactory. Tbe rumors and surmises in regard to tbe Inter-State Association, with some selling of tbe Grangers for Chicago account, made those shares heavy during mo3t of tho day, St Paul, Rock Island and Burlington and Qulncy being most noticeable though the last named was dull and moved over an extremely narrow range. Missouri Pacific was the leading active stock in tbe regnlar list and though heavy at first, later spurted up actively and scored a material advance for the day. Tbe large pur chases of the stock were a feature of tbe day, and rumors of a large increase in the earnings for the second week in January helped the im provement As usual of late, however, the most important movements were among the specialties, and most conspicnous among these were Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred and Lake Erie and Western preferred, the latter being up over 1 per cent in the first hour of business. The market developed a marked covering movement toward the close, which was quiot but firm gen erally at the best price'. Tbc final changes are almost Invariably in the direction of higher tig nres, and Lake H.rie and Western preferred is up aud Missouri Pacific IK- Railroad bonds were fairly active to-day, but a few issues were specially prominent while tbe general list was quiet within narrow limits, and out of a total of $1,725,0011 Chesaoeako and Ohio 5s contributed 5116,000. tbo Kansas and Texas 6s $106,000 and the 5s $100,000. Tbe Mil waukee, Lake fcnore and Western 5s were also prominent for activity, but failed to more ma terially. The tone of the dealings in general was firm and most issues are fractionally higher than Saturday. Manitoba 2ds rose 4 to 119 and Mobile and Ohio 4s 2 to 65. The Post says: The coal stocks were heavy throughout tho forenoon. Tbe weather is so un favorable for the coal trade that it has a con tinual depressing effect on the prices of these stocks, but outstanding interest in them, par ticularly in Lackawanna and Reading, is so large that it helps to sustain them and any slight favorable turn of affairs in the coal trade would result in a rush to cover shorts and a consequent upward turn of from 1 to 3 points. But If the present weather continues and tne coal companies get into a anarrel as the result . ot Reading's necessities for money and its conse quent more aggressive policy in tbe coal rade, the shorts may yet be able to cover at fbwer prices. The grangers, as a group, were wn more man tne coal stocks, because tbe cusslon of the Union Pacific alliance bas cre dtheimorcssion tbat it mav causa soma trobIe among the Western roads, especially as tho officials of the two sjstems, so far as they bavoxpresed themselves, appeared deter mined" adhere to their alliance, though at tbe same tlio arc desirous of not enforcing it so rig idly as icVomo into open conflict with the Inter State RaiVvay Association pledges. A large short interest was created in Union Pacific last week on thetae views. Tbe rouowrax tame snows me prices oi active Stockton the new York Stock xcnange yestcr dav.

Mud is so deep in the streets of Wllkinsburg that merchants seldom send out their wagons to deliver goods. Two or three large deals in real estate were practically closed up yesterday, but details were unobtainable. The new building for the National Electric Company in Wllkinsburg is about ready for ocenpancy. Twenty-five men and boys will be empioyea in it The German Fire Insurance Company, ac cording to the annnal statement just out earned $13,764 61 last year in excess of divi dends. Its business is steadily increasing. Real estate brokers spoken to yesterday on the subject of an exchange, favored it with re restnetions as to the admission of members. Opinion seems to be setting in favor ot the scheme Mr. J. J. Vakdergrift will commence tearing down the old building on his newly purchased lot on Fourth avenue as soon as the lease expires, April 1, preparatory to the erec tion of a fine building on tbe sito.

The egg market is very slow at quotations, and tbe cash buyer wonld find produce men more than willing to meet him at inside rates on large lots. Poultry, too, is weaker on ac count of large receipts from the West The opportunities for cheap poultry in Diamond markets were better on Saturday than at any time this season. Dressed chickens were much cheaper on that day than good beef or mutton. Potatoes are steady at old rates. Fancy apples ' are firm and higher, owing to their scarcity. Large quantities are coining to markets in bad shape, tbo soft weather being very adverse to their keeping quality. Good keepers are in de mand at outside quotations. Cabbage are steady and onions scarce and firm.

The following is from the current number of the Weekly Financial Circular of Henry Clews fc Co. as to tbe outlook of tbe coffee market: The week's business has been very light and the fluctuation in prices confined to narrow limits. There has been no news of importance from Brazil, and the European markets have been as inactive as our own. There is so little apparent interest in tbe spec ulation, and tbe temper of operators is so un decided that we decline to give any advice about trading nntil tbo market shows some animation either one way or the other. Mean time the undertone seems fairly strong, for business is so light it is no trouble for bulls to bold prices steady. Outsiders seem to takeno in terest in the market notwithstanding the high figures tempting to short sellers. Tbe receipts at Rio and Santos for the week are quite lib eral, being 59,000 bags, and tbe arrivals here for the same time 86,933 bags. The jobbing trade is in sympathv with option business, and, there fore.'it is hardly necessary to say very dull.
