THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, THURSDAY. JANUARY 23, 18901 1L0CAL LIYE STOCK. Low Grade Cattle Are a Drug at th'e East Liberty Yards. BUT CHOICE BEEVES AT A PREMIUM Light Bun of Hogs and a Steep Advance in Prices Reported. SHEEP AND LAMBS ARE UNCHANGED Office of Pittsburg Dispatch. Wednesday. January 22, 1890. ( The supply of cattle for local trade Taried very little from that of lest week. Quality, too, was much the same. "While there was not enough light, tidy butcher stock to co round, there was a superabundance of com mon and low grade stock, and for this grade markets were very slupreish, and sales were only made by concessions on the Dart of hold ers. Export cattle were in good demand at 15c per 100 pounds better than a week ago. Light, smooth outcbcr stock, such as onr mar Vets call for, welching from 1,100 to 1,300 pounds, held up fairly well to prices of last week. All this season there has been an excess of low grade stock and a scarcity of tidy light weifrht butchering cattle. Markets here no longer call for prime heavy weight cattle ; but prime light weights are in demand, and of this grade there has not been sufficient on sale to meet demands ot local trade for months past. A Lccitirante Itesalf. While all common and low-grade stock went begging for buyers this week, choice butcher stock and export cattle found ready customers at a premium on rates of last week. Veal calves were in fair supply ana sjow, at a Rhaae lower prices than last week. The range of prices for fresh cows has not materially changed, but markets are scarcely as strong as they were last w eek. A Herr's Island drover reports that cattlo market this week has been one of the worst of the season. Said he: "I was lucky to sell the most of my stock early in the week. Some of my competitors who did not place their cattle at the beginning of the week have found them selves in the soup for a day or two past, and would be glad now to accept bids they would have spurned on Monday. The cattle I'sold at the beginning of the week wero best sold. Since tbat time markets nave dragged, and a consid erable amouut of stock remains unsold. On the unsold stock holdcfs will be happy if they man age to come out even." febeep nod Lambi nnd Hoes. The run at East Liberty was about the same this week as last, and prices did not materially change, except for very choice stock, which are a shade higher. This was due mainly to the short supply of prime stock. Lambs were m full supply, and for these markets were scarcely as strong as they were a week ago. Supplies of bocs have been ligbt all the week as compared with the last few weeks' receipts, and markets were Tery firm at a sharp ad vance. A carload of hogs was sold this morning at the Liberty yards for M 10, which at this time last week would not have brought more than S3 S3. At Chicago receipts have been very large tor a day or two past, aggrpgatmg over 40,000 head daily, but markets there are firm at a range of 3 803 85. There is an improved demand of late tur heavy hogs, owing to large export de mand lor lard. ItlcCnll fc Co.'n Review. The supply of cattle liberal.

The outlook for wool contlnnes discouraging, though quotations are uwhanged. Very little doing. A Good Reason. Dr. J. C. Anthony, of Odell, Neb., says: "Chamberlain's Cough Bemedy gives good satisfaction and is a big seller." The rea son it sells so well is that people who use it find it so much superior to any other medi cine they ha,Te ever used that they persuade their friends and neighbors to try it No one troubled with a cough or cold can use it without benefit It does not suppress a cough, but loosens and relieves it, entirely freeing the system from the effect of a cold and leaving it in a natural and healthy con dition, 5jBa MAEKETS BY WIBE. Wheat Slow, bnt Prices a Trifle Better Corn nnd Oats Firm Hog Products Improve In Activity nnd Strength. Chicago Wheat Only moderate business was transacted to-day, and the market during part of the session ruled quiet At intervals there was a fair trade, but the market general ly was slow. The feeling was a trifle stronger and prices averaged a shade higher than yes terday, due in part to firmer cables, reported small stocks in Russian ports and other influ ences, such as cold weather In the West and re ports of too much rain in California. The mar ket opened a shade firmer and sold toHSK0 above yesterday's closing, eased off K!40 and then improved )Jc. ruling steady and firm, and closed c higher than yesterday. Corn Then was a moderate speculative day's transactions early In the session and the feeling prevailing was firmer, vtter which the market becamb qmiet and easier. There ap peared to be some buying orders on the market from the outside, and in filling the same the local crowd became sbort and on their cover ing prices were advanced. Domestic markets were relatively Arm. Oats were quiet but firm. The arrivals were quite small and the effect of this was quite visi ble In a ligbt sample trade. Rather a firmer speculative feeling prevailed and in some cases prices show some little improvement at the same time flucuations in prices continue too narrow to attract attention. In consequence of the iew changes in values it was difficult to ex ecute orders, when limits were at any distance from prices lately prevailing. There were mod erate .sales for May delivery and trading bad the appearance of being largely on local ac count There was some little business in near futures at Jjc advance, but other futures were neglected. Hog products Considerable strength was manifested in the market for hog products and speculative trading was moderately active. Opening markets, both domestic and foreign, exhibited considerable strength, and the re ceipts of bogs ere liberal, but selling at higher price". The receipts of products were fair and the shipments tjuite liberal of all descriptions. Under these circumstances the market for products attraeted more attention and higher prices were realized for most descriptions. Lo cal shorts purchased rather freely more par ticularly two quite prominent speculators while the offerings were not very large. Thero was a little realizing by parties wbo purchased a few days ago, but tho resources from that source were only moderate. May deliveries met with most favor, though the near deliver ies of some articles were a little more inquired for.

Sire, Esq , came into his office on Diamond street, laid bis overcoat and hat on a table, and then went into an adjoining room to look after something. He was not cone more than two or three minutes. During bis absenceie beard some one enter the office, but paid no attention to it supposing some client had called. When Mr. Sipe returned he found the supposed client had gone out, and. missing the tick of a valu able eight-dav clock he cast his eyes to the mantel, and it wasn't there. He started out. and found the janitor of the building who stated tbat he saw the thief go out with the clock, and the bell thereof was keeping up con siderable of a jingling, but the thief was so cool that the janitor supposed he had a job to repair the clock, aud interposed no objection to bis departure. An overcoat was stolen from one of the offices in the same building early in the winter, suppo sably by the same thief, wbo either does not find overcoat stealing profitable this mild sea son or who is trying to fit himself out for house keeping, as there would have been much less risk in taking Mr. Sipe's coat yesterday than the clock, and the garment was a good one, too. Streets to be Paved. Chief Bigelow said yesterday that the lower end of Forbes avenue and parti of Fifth, Penn and Highland avenues will be paved this sum mer. All the alleys down town will belaid with asphalt. Liberty avenue and Wabash avenue, on the Southslde, will also be paved. The chief will not be held responsible lorjthe mud on East End avenues.

House Renters Hating a Bush, for Fear of a Famine About Moving Time. HANI BUSINESS MEK MSAPPOIHTED There was unnsnal activity in real estate circles yesterday, several important transac tions being closed up and others reported in various stages of completeness. The Br. Daly property, corner of Cherry alley and Sixth avenue, lot 27 by 90, with a three story brick dwelling, was sold for $22,000, presumably to the Pennsylvania Railroad, although Messrs. Black 4 Balrd, who are sup posed to have managed the deal, would neither affirm nor deny the report The same firm acknowledged another trans action in downtown business property involv ing about $90,000, but said details were not ready for publication. One authority said the property in question was that which is occu pied by Mr. J. B. Youngson, but others denied it, leaving the Identity of the site in doubt It is known, however, that negotiations for the last named property are on foot It was sold sometime ago, but one of the four heirs thought the price too low, and refused to sign the deed. Another report in this connection was that Mr. D. O. Barr had purchased of S. Beymer the lot at the corner of Fifth avenue ana Neville street, 250x450 feet with a good dwelling, for J75.000. While this may be the transaction referred to by Messrs. Black & Balrd, information from other sources leads to the conclusion that it Is in no way mixed up with tbat deal, and tbat the latter sale was made through the W. C. Stewart agency. That gentleman, however, bad nothing to say when approached for information. Several other transactions remain to be noticed. W. C. Stewart sold another piece of the Hutchinson estate, a fraction over an acre, forSll.000. He also found acustomer for twolots, each 50x200 feet, situated near the Hutchinson property, for which he got $5,000 each. They belonged to Alexander Murdoch. The pur purchaser was Robert D. Totten. Mrs. Ewart Chessman paid $30,000 for a lot 15x60 feet, with a three-story brick building, No. 403 Smithfield street It was sold by Biddle Arthurs, Jr., as executor. The reported purchase of the White property in the East End by William Mooney for $90,000 was premature, but it is on the string, and will be closed in a day or two. House-renters are already out in full forco impelled to effort by well-grounded apprehen sions of a famine about moving time Indeed, the demand is already greater than the snpply, and this inconvenience is certain to increase as the season advances. On this subject a member of the firm of Charles A. Somers & Co. said yesterday: "I have never known such an urgent demand for houses so early in the season. There is a perfect rush for them; and the most of it is, there are not half enough to go round. We have booked between 200 and 300 applications in the last two weeks, but the orders remain unfilled, for we can't find the houses. The demand at present is largely in favor of the Old City, Oak land and East Liberty. Ultimately, how ever, people will be compelled to accept places wherever they can get them. Small and medium-sized houses have the call, but later on everything will go if the rent can pos sibly be met The bulk of the demand is from outsiders people attracted to the city by the prospect of steady work and good pay. Very few of those occupying houses will be willing to give them up. They are disposed to put up with a great many inconveniences rather than run the risk of faring worse The result will be that the majority of the new-comers will be compelled to build. So what appears on the surface to be a misfortune may be a blessing in the end. Manv people will acquire homes who would otherwise remain renters all their lives, and the city will expand." "Is there much inquiry for business houses?" "Yes. Look at this," and the gentleman ex hibited a long list of applications. He con tinued: "These are not all Pittsburg people, either. Here are names well known in Balti more. Philadelphia, Cincinnatiand othercities. Last year's prosperity of Pittsburg made a deep impression upon the business men of the coun try, and many of them desire to establish them selves here to improve their fortunes, but I am afraid the most of them will be disappointed, as it will be impossible for them either to rent or buy such houses as they want This state of affairs is not very creditable to Pittsburg cap italists, and it is a positive hindrance to the de velopment of the city. With ample facilities for the transaction of business and enough tenements to shelter all who desire to cast their lot among us, Pittsburg would grow at a rate that would lay all past achievements In that direction completely in the shade. This is a matter which onr public-spirited citizens should take into serious consideration. Increase o population and expansion of business cannot reasonably be expected in the absence of neces sary accommodations." STOCKS SLOW, Bnt a Good Undertone Indicates a Belter Time Coming-. A light business was transacted in local stocks yesterday, the sales being 237 shares, and the feeling, taEen all around, was weak. Changes, however, were for small fractions, and were about evenly divided between ad vances and declines. Central Traction was slightly weaker, but the others about held their own. Philadelphia Gas went off a trifle in the bidding, bnt was not offered to any ex tent Pittsburg Plate Glass and Switch and Signal were stronger. Pleasant Valley was offered at the close at 23. with 22 bid. The good prices realized at the auction sales on Tuesday caused brokers to be a little cau tious yesterday, lest tboy should be accepted as market values, which is not the case. The fact Is the buyers for tho most part were people who had money to invest, but would not do so through regular brokers. This left them at the mercy of the auctioneer, whose duty It was to get all he could. They could have done bet ter in the regular way. MOEsrao. ATTiBirooir. Bid. Asked, lild. Asked. Fidelity T. & T.

AGGEESSIVE BULLS. They Increase in Numbers and Talk of an Advance In Railroad Shares The Trusta Active nnd Sugar Stronsssr. Nbw York. January 22. Tho stock market was active to-day at both ends, with a long period of dullness and a near approach to stag nati on between, though such movements as were made in that time were in the direction of lower figures. About three-fourths of the bus iness done during the day was transacted in the first halt hour and the last 45 minutes, A marked feature of the trading, however, was that when the market was active prices ad vanced, while dullness bronght a drooping tendency and stagnancy. The events of the day go to show that the bull party has quietly acaulrcd strength of numbers, and tho talk on the street is more confident of an advance all along the line. The covering movement of the past two days was still under way at the opening, but tho early demand was soon satisfied, and as the buying for the short account ceased, the market became dull and stagnant. The bears did Borne hammering in a feeble way, but with only small fractional results, and they soon ceased aggressive operations. j.ne temper of tne room continued dull, even under the discour agement of extreme dullness and the talk that money was assured of ease for at least two months, while the railroads were sure of large earnings. The cold snap was favorable to the coal stocks, and neither Reading,Xackawanna nor Jersey Central got below the opening figures, while many of the other leading shares before delivery hour were fractionally lower. The afternoon rise was started by the specialties with a very heavy trading in Missouri Pacific, the Coalers, St, Paul, Sugar Refineries and Union Pacific, the last named being favorably affected by the report ot the Government di rectors. ' Everything reached its highest price far the day and the movement was kept right up to the close, which was active and strong. The trusts were fairly active and Sugar was strong. The buying was liberal in the last hour, however, and with the regular list it mounted to the best prices for nearly a week. The active stocks are almost Invariably hlgber to-night. Railroad bonds were again moderately active, and. although the transactions extended to an unusually large number of issues, only one, Texas Pacific seconds, showed any special ani mation, furnishing $103,000 out of a total of ii,ttn,wu. xne movements were smaller and si,ou7,wu. xue movements were smaller and fewer than those of yesterday, but a more nnl- wiwiwNiiiiitiiiMm, vuwil.ltnflllUBW rose 2 to 112. and Mackinac and Marquette land grant 2 to 38.

Its representative bad not, however, made bis appearance on Fourth avenue up to yesterday evening, so far as could bo learned. A prominent New York broker Bald yester day: "There is stagnation in the stock market now, but I believe it will be followed before long by increasing activity. The stagnation does not necessarily mean lower prices.al thongh it is certain that good stocks are not selling be low their merit. It Is plain that holders of good stocks are not inclined to sell."
