SITUATION AT THE LIBERTY TAEDS
Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, J
Monday, January 27, 1S90. (
Sheep and lambs were in fair demand at
last week's prices. Hogs were stronger at
higher rates. Cattle were scarcely op to the
average in quality, and prices were a shade
lower than last week, excepting for choice
grades o' light butcher stock, which fairly
held their own.
According to some reports these best grades
of cattle were 1015c higher than a week ago,
a fact attributable to their scarcity.
Receip s of cattle were light, and demand
was ditto. There were no strictly prime cattle
in the offerings.

quality of hogs for which I paid $4 004 10 last
week were to-day firmly held at $4 204 25.
Sheep and lambs were firm at last week's
prices, and more choice stock could have been
sold than was offered.
Low grade cattle and sheep might be quoted
a shade lower than last Monday, but hogsyl

THE B0DI IDENTIFIED.
It Was Benjamin Boyle Who Was Killed In
tb Pennsy Yards.
The body of the man fonnd dead in the
Pennsylvania Railroad yards yesterday
morning was identified at the morgue yester
day afternoon as being that of Benjamin
Boyle, 62 years old. The deceased lived with
his wife at No. 1 Ann street, and was slight
ly demented. Sunday night he wandered
away from his home and went out into the
yards, where he was killed. The case is one
in which the circumstances are very sad.
The wife of the deceased, who is about 50
years old, was nearly crazed oyer her hus
band's disappearance. She did not sleep a
wink on Sunday nieht, but spent the entire
night in trying to find him.
MABKETSBY WIRE.
Wheat Touches the Lowest Point on the
Present Decline Corn nnd Oats Easy
Hoj; Products Quiet,
With Few Cbnusr.
Chicago After a temporary feeling of firm
ness at the opening the wheat market again
became weak and prices ruled lower, touching
the lowest point reached on the recent decline.
The opening was about the same as Saturday's
closing and advanced c. but foreign market
advices were again of an unfavorable tenor to
holders, the visible supply did not show as
large a decrease as had been expected, and
there was a rumor that the Government crop
report was out and showed an increase of 2 per
cent in the acreage of winter wheat and condi
tion 102 against 9S the corresponding time last
year. There were some doubts of the reliabil
ity of thi report, but nevertheless it had its
effect. Prices for May declined He, hut re
covered, and the closing was about the same as
Saturday.
Corn A moderate trade was reported, and
the feeling was somewhat easier. Transactions
were in the main local, and fluctuations con
fined within UGlic range. Receipts were con
siderably in excess of expectations. The mar
ket opened at Saturday's closing, was steady
for a time, sold off I4lc, and ruled quiet,
closing quotations being a shade below Satur
day. Oats were quiet and easy with a lighter vol
ume of business in all deliveries. Most of the
business was in May, but price changes were
small. January and February, although not
offered with any degree of freedom, met with
less demand. A weaker feeling developed and
prices receded Kc.
A quiet feeling prevailed in the market for
hog products, and the changes in prices were
slight. Offerings on speculative account were
light, both from local and outside sources, and
the demand was confined to selling a few
shorts. Prices averaged a trifle higher on the
leading articles, and the market closed quiet at
about medium figures. Most of the trading
was in May.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

POINTS ON BUSINESS,
A Cool $100,000 Made by a Local
Capitalist Within a Tear.
CAPT. VANDERGRIPT'S NEW MOVE.
Depositors Still Delaying the Work of Fix
ing Up the Lawrence Bank.
THE LARGEST SHEET OP PLATE GLASS
Straws show which way the wind blows
in real estate as in other things. A promi
nent local capitalist of conservative ten
dencies, remarked yesterday that he could
sell the properties which he had purchased
within the last 12 months at an advance of
$100,000, but as he had acquired them for
his children, they were not in the market.
This shows very clearly that he is not
afraid of a reaction.
Another observation of interest in this
connection was made by a McKeesport gen
tleman. He said suburban residence prop
erties there, up to a certain point, say
510,000, were higher than in the outlying
districts of Pittsburg, and were being bought
up at a rapid rate.
The most important item corraled on Fourth
avenue yesterday was to the effect that Captain
J. J. Vandergrift was negotiating for the lot
adjoining tho Singer property so as to give him
a f rontaee of 90 feet. One gentleman said he
was confident the deal would be made, and
that the price would be something over 2,000 a
foot front,
An official of the Fidelity Title and Trust
Company said yesterday that the work of un
tangling the affairs of the Lawrence Bank was
progressing as fast as possible. Better progress
conld bo made if depositors were not so slow
about bringing in their books and certificates.
The absenco of these is tbe main cause of delay.
The accounting .has proceeded as far as the
letter M, with very little material left to work
on. The importance of sending in the books is
therefore apparent.
Should they De withheld mncb longer work
will have to be suspended. Very little more
can be done without them. It will be impossi
ble to make a statement until alftbe books and
certificates have been presented and carefully
gone over. If depositors want an early settle
ment they should send or hand in their vouch
ers against the bank at once
It has been claimed that the Diamond Plate
Glass Works, at Kokomo, Ind., were entitled
to the credit of turning out the largest sheet of
plate glass ever cast. It was 122x202 inches,
but Mr. Edward Petit, New York agent of sev
eral French plate glass companies, shows this
claim to be incorrect, and sends the following
list of plate glass sheets exhibited last year at
the Pans Exhibition by the St. Gobain Com
pany: One rough plate 319x163 inches, equals
861 square feet 13 inches; one polished plate,
silvering quality, 301x162 inches, equals 33S
square feet 90 inches; one polished plate 320x166
inches, equals 3SS square feet 123 inches.
This shows that the French are still ahead,
but the plate glass industry is making such
strides in this country, and more particularly
in Pittsburg and vicinity, that foreign compe
tition, both in quality and size of sheets, will
soon be reduced to a minimum.
Profit sharing is being tried in many places
as an experiment, and in almost every case the
results have been satisfactory. The following
example is given of the Alsfos wood pulp fac
tory in Norway, the balance sheet of which bas
recently appeared: The value of plant and
buildings is 63,540, and on this 5 per cent is
charged (3,186 per year). The force consists
of a manager, a bookkeeper, a cashier and 60
men, and the wages paid per year are, respect
ively, 1.080, 960. 861, $192 and 8158. For inci
dental expenses $2,664 per year is charged, mak
ing the annual cost of working about $16,000.
The first year's cross profit amounted to $25,
664. Of this sum $3,186 went for interest on tbe
capital, and, with tbe 16,000 working expenses,
it left a balance of 7,440, which, with the excep
tion of $796 carried forward, has been distributed
equally between the 63 men, giving each about
$105. Most of tbe workmen havo used tbe
money toward buying for themselves houses in
the neighborhood of tbe factory.

Prof. Edward Orton contributes a naper on
natural gas and petroleum In Ohio to the imer
ican Manufacturer, which accompanies it with
the following remarks: "One of tbe remarka
ble results of tbe search for natural gas in tbe
last year, as set forth by Prof. Orton, is that.
while there have been practically no new gas
rocks discovered, ana no really new gas fields
have been Drought to light, not only have sev
eral old fields been so transformed during tbe
year that tbey may be reckoned almost new,
but some of the strongest wells that havo yet
been found in the State of Ohio were found in
1889. It Is true that several fields have been
shown to be practically valueless as a source of
future supply, but Prof. Orton's review shows
that the day of surprises in the production of
natural gas bas not yet passed.
"We think it is a fair deduction from what
the drill has developed in Ohio during the past
year, and the same is true in Pennsylvania,
some of the strongest Pennsylvania wells hav
ing been struck in 1SS9, that, if the proper
economies are made use of, there is no reason
why the supply of natural gas may not be suffi
cient for many more years than some of our
experts have believed."
Mr. L P. Wilson, an Englishman, claims to be
the inventor of the wire rope, and so far the
claim stands undisputed. He says that he
made about 1832 a wire rope without any tw ist
in the Individual wires to the order of Mr.
Sherratt, of the Salford Iron Works, Manches
ter, ana maintains that no Improvements havo
been made, either in the wire rope manufac
tured by him in 1S32. or in his patent compound
ropes or cables, or in his tandem machine,
which is now universally adopted by all exten
sive wire rope manufacturers throughout the
world.

OIL MOVES UP.
It Reaches a Good Firnrc, but Soon Drops
Back Field Ncvr.-i.
Tbe oil market developed considerable
strength soon after the opening yesterday.
Opening at 81 07 it was bulled up X a cent by
New York and Oil City shorts covering or the
Standard buying one or both but the demand
was soon satisfied, and the market gradually
sagged and closed rather weak at the lowest
point of the day. Pittsburg was a light seller
at the advance. Proceedings were quite ani
mated at times, but the amount of trading was
limited considering the good opportunity for
scalping. The range was: Opening, $1 07;
highest, 1 07; lowest, 1 05; closing, $1 OS.
Saturday's clearances were 440,000 barrels.
In explaining the situation a broker said: "A
man with nerve can bid the market up as high
as he pleases with very little risk. He might
have a block flung at him now and then, and
would be obliged to take it, but, consideriug
tbe dearth of certificates, such an event is not
liab e to happen. Tbe fact is, there is not
enough of the stnff for big trading, and, as
there is no outside interest worth mentioning,
the operators are milking each other. That's
aboutali there is in it"
Another gusher bas been struck in the Shan
nopin field. On tbe heels of tbe Finegan, Down
ing A Co. 500-barrel well comes a second one of
about the same magnitude in Mechlin, Brake
it Co.'s No. 1, on tbe Ferguson farm, which
came in Saturday night and started flowing at
the rate of 50U barrels a day when one foot in
the sand. While the well may not hold up to
this figure, it is, nevertheless, considered a fine
one. The general opinion seems to be that it
will settle down to about a 350-barrel well.
Several other important wells are expected in
this week in the Bbannopin field. Ferguson,
Downing t Co.'s Ferguson No. 2 is holding up
splendidly, still producing not far from 500 bar
rels a day.
The T. W. Phillips Douthett No. 3. at Glade
run. In the Butler field, is turning 600 barrels a
day Into tbe tanks, and his No. 14, on the Goehr
ing, 480 a day. Hazlett A Co.'s Humphrey farm
well i making 200 barrels a day; H. W. Chris
tie 4 Co.'s No. 4. on tho Amberson farm, 50 a
day, and the Associated Producers' No. L on
the Cashdolar;farm, 120 a day.
The Stephenson Oil Company bas been most
fortunate in getting a large producer in their
No. 3 on the Furgason farm. It was drilled a
little deeper yesterday, which brought it up to
30 barrels an hour, making It good for 500 bar
rels a day.

Itle Trnsis Active.
New "Xork, January 27. In the stock market
to-day additional evidence that a complete
change bas occurred in tbe temper of the spec
ulation was shown, and tho broadening ten
dency of the market, which was so marked
last week, made further progress to-day, the
dealings extending to a much larger number of
stocks than at dny time within the past year,
while the interest was again monopolized by the
low priced shares, and thcbusiuess done exceed-
that of any day ior tne past two months. A
feature of the dealings was tbe activity among
some stocks which have not been traded in to
any extent in months, and the fact that the in
crease In the business was entirely among a.
new set of stockB, which with but few excep
tions, are low priced securities, was the subject
of universal remark.
There was undoubtedly heavy realizing dur
ing tbe day, notwithstanding the fact that the
taking of profits on Saturday was of such mag
nituoe, but the market continued to rise never
theless, and new stock pressed forward to Join
in the upward movement and the undertone of
the dealings was of the most pronounced strong
character. The foreigners were sellers of
stocks to a limited extent in the early dealings,
and'these sales with the difference in rates for
money at the two centers had the effect of
stiffening up tbe rates for sterling exchange
to-day. which was also an element which
worked against the natural tendency of the
market. The foreigners, however, were buyers
of their stocks later in the day, and especially
of Louisville and Nashville. American stocks
are the only securities which at present show
any Btrength in tbe London market, and the
disposition to buy them shows considerable in
crease since tbe rise started here.
Among the specialties Manhattan was the
nrst feature, and it advanced nearly 2 per cent,
butlater drifted back, but the improvement
was taken up by the bituminous coal stock,
the East Tennessee, Hocking Valley, Louis
ville. New Albany and Chicago, Chicago and
East Illinois and others. In the generally ac
tive list, the coal stocks were inclined to weak
ness, and Lackawanna first led off with a frac
tional decline, followed by Delaware and Hud
son, Jersey Central and Reading. The Grangers
were also rather sluggish in the early dealings,
butlater there was a decided improvement,
which was led by Burlington and Quincy, and
Rock Island and 8t Paul joined In. In tbe last
named there was believed to bo considerable
covering. The Gould stocks were less promi
nent than last week, and tbe supply of stock
nn aooui equal io tue aemano.
Tbe great feature of the day, however, was
the renewal of activity and strength in Sugar
Refineries and Lead Trust, the forenoon being
specially prominent both for activity and
strength. Tbe dealings in tbe stock were ac
companied by a renewal of the rumors of an
arrangement with the outside refineries and
also of the story of the resignation of the Hav
emeyers, which was again denied. Tbe rise in
Bugar was very rapid in the early trading, and
it was thought in tbe crowd some of tbe seller
60 options put out at about 53 sometime ago
were being covered, and from 59 at tho open
ing it advanced to 62, around which figure it
was held during most of the remainder of the
day, but in the last half hour it was pushed up
further to 64. closing at the latter price.
Lead was not so active and made only a frac
tional advance for the day. The general list
was moro active throughout and fluctuated
within narrow limits, but exhibited a strong
undertone. The bears made a demonstration
in the last hour, which with the realizations
caused a set-back all along the line, and tbe
close, while active, was rather heavy. Tbe
great majority of the list are fractionally
higher to-night.
The bond transactions extended to an unpre
cedented number of Issues. The market ex
hibited a uniform tone, and while there were a
few losses at tbe end of tbe day, they were un
important and witbout effect upon tbe re
mainder of tbe list. The improvement reached
all parts of the list. Peoria, Decatur and
Evansville seconds rose 2 to 72, and Alton and
Terre Haute dividends 3 to 68.

The Reading Railroad reports that its coal
shipment (esti mated) for the week ending Janu
ary 25 was 113, 0C0 tons, of which 21000 tons were
sent to Port Richmond, and 15,000 tons were
sent to Port Liberty.
Tbe annual statement of the Armenia Insur
ance Company shows a very satisfactory mar
gin between earnings and expenditures, includ
ing not only a dividend earned, but a comfort
able sum to be added to the surplus.
The annual statement of the Philadelphia
Natural Gas Company was the topic of discus
sion on Fourth avenue yesterday. Tho great
bulk of opinion was that tbe figures were by all
odds tbe best tbe company had ever published,
and show that it is in excellent condition.
The Pennsylvania Railroad reports that the
quantity of coal and coke originating on and
carried over its lines east of Pittsburg and Erie
for tbe week ending January 18 was 356.511 tons.
of which 245.833 tons were coal and 108,178 tons
coke.
Tue report that the sale of Nos. 411 and 413
Smltbfield street for $80,000 would result in a
lawsuit, seems to be without foundation. A
gentleman who knows all about the deal said
yesterday: "Mr. Clark may claim that his pur
chase for S70.000 is binding, but I think he will
be bought off, and the Cleveland heir, who is in
the city, brought over. It looks to me as if tbe
$10,(100 advanced was conceded to bridge over
this very difficulty."
A Wall street special to WhitneyAStephen
son says: "Tbe commission houses continue to
recommend tbe purchase of either Missouri
Pacific, Western and Lake Erie preferred,
Western Union. Canada Southern, Louisville
and Nashville, Union Pacific, St. Paul, Chicago
Gas or Northern Pacific preferred. In the
'fancies' thev say that Oregon Transcontin
ental, Wheeling common and Texas Pacific
offer tho biggest inducements."

Country Produce Jobblns Prices.
The egg market U firmer than it has been for
the past week, but prices are unchanged. Poul
try Is also in better demand. There is a great
scarcity of fancy apples in onr market, and
prices are firm at an advance. Potatoes are
steady. Choice stock, which is scarce, is firm
at outside quotations. Onions are in good de
mand. Cabbage are quiet, owing to large re
ceipts ot poor stock. Dairy products are little
changed from last week. The tone of cheese
markets is strong. Choice grades of creamery
butter also give signs of improvement. Fancy
Florida oranges are in good demand. Lemons,
are easier. Bananas are in good supply and
drift of markets is toward a lower level. There
is large room for improvement in all produce
lines. All produce commission men report
quiet markets.
