At Chi cago the outside price was S3 90 according to advices received by one of our leading packers this morning. In general the cattle market is little changed from last week on desirable butcher grades. Common and low grade stock are a t-hado lower. Sheep and lambs are steady at last week's prices. Hogs are a shade lower. Elevator and Fire Escapes. Pittsburg elevators and fire escapes are find ing ready sales, of late, in the far West. One of oar manufacturers reports that his firm has now ready for shipment, to be forwarded within a day or two, fire escapes tor the grand new Masonic Temple, of Denver, a building which will eclipse anything of this kind in the West. The same firm will ship next week, ele vators for a magnificent new hotel at Colorado Springs. In conversation with this Pittsburg manu facturer of fire escapes and elevators the fact was developed that the cost of castings at Denver was fully double the price in Pittsburg. The best castings here are worth 254c per ponndand at Denver 5fc. The freight from here to the Colorado metropolis is about 2c per pound. Said this manufacturer: "Our firm has within the past few months developed a very extensive trade with the far West, and expects to do much larger things with that section in the near future. A JIot Prosperous City. "Yon may put down my opinion that Pittsburg to-day is the most prosperous city in the coun try. In our line of business prospects were never as bright as they are at tbis time. Orders now in Insure a very large spring trade, and, for the iron and steel interests, we have un doubtedly entered upon one of the best years In the history of the city. 'As these are our great interests, there is no doubt in my mind that Pittsburg's trade for 1890. will break all former records. Our firm is In close communication with all sections of the United States, and I have no hesitation in say ing that our city at this time enjoys as great, if not greater, substantial prosperity than any city in the land By Telecraph.

New York Bank Failure Throw Cold Water on the Wheat Pit Hoe Products Ac tive bat Wenk May the Fnvarlir. Chicago Trading in wheat to-day was more active at lower prices. The feeling was weak at the start, first sales showing a decline of c and later declined c more, ruled steady and closed about lc lower than yesterday. The offerings were quite large to-day, and con siderable wheat bought yesterday and the day before was sold out, parties not having the courage to hold on under the present condition. Some of the large floor traders were the heav iest sellers. There was some covering of shorts but confidence seemed wanting, and there was apparently little buying for more than tem porary reaction. The weakness was partially attributed to the dosing of a bank or two in New York. A moderate business was transacted in corn and the feeling was easier. The temper of the local crowd was bearish and the selling was rather more pronounced than tor several days past. Thetalkwasthatitwasabouttimefora break and then corn would be a good purchase. Considerable changing was reported apm to day from February to May at the ruling pre mium for the latter month. Thero was a good business transacted In oats, and a steady feeling prevailed with a fair range of prices, but no advance over the outside figures of yesterday was secured. One opera tor bought freely and took most of the offer ings in May, and prices fluctuated c Febru ary received only moderate attention. Rather more activity was exhibited in the market for hog products, but the feeling was unsettle! and prices were weak during the greater portion of the day. May contracts at tracted the most attention, though the near de liveries met wltn a little more favor The leading futures ranged as follows: Whkaio. 2.

London Is taking quite an interest in Ameri can securities, and is a good buyer of all the specialties. Twentt-four mortgages were recorded yesterday. The largest was for 22,662. Seven were for purchase money. Manager Chaplin, of the Clearing House was absent from his post of duty yesterday on account of sickness. He lives on Neville Island. 0 Edward P. Long, the popular stock broker, after a severe attack of the grip, lasting for a week or more, was able to be at his office yes terday. The time for subscribing to the new stock ot the La Noria Mining Company expires to-dav. It is thought the amount will be taken and re organization effected. Among the measures which have been intro duced in the Fifty-first Congress thus far, one of the most remarkable is a bill Introduced by Mr. Buttcrworth, of Ohio, which is directed against dealings in "futures" and "options." The MiitUtippi Valley Lumberman pub lishes a comprehensive review of the lumber business of the Northwest for the year 1S89. The total product of the year was 3.467,436,693 feet, or a falling oft of 756,401.775 feet from the product of 188S. Low water and the general dullness of trade are given as the chief reasons for the reduction in production. Reuben Miller, Jr., was at the point of death yesterday evening at his residence in Allegheny City. There was no hope of his re covery. Mr. Miller bas long been prominent in business in Pittsburg. He was the first Presi dent of the Mechanics' Bank, now the Me chanics' National, and is still a stockholder there, and for a number of years was President of the Western Insurance Company. Concerning the bank troubles in New York, John M. Oakley & Co.'s Wall street cor respondent wired yesterday evening: The Sixth National Bank is closed. The Lenox Hill and Equitable are open, and their officers say they will stay open. The latest report of the Sixth National Is that assets have disap peared. Later: The two little city banks finally closed doors, and are likely to create some Ieverishnes8 and a decline on the market.

The Pleasant Valley Line Doing a Bashing Business Since CHANGING ITS MOTIVE POWER. The Manchester Railway People Hnat Fol low Suit or Be Badly Left. AN ADVANCE IN THE PKICE OP ST0YES Ths change of motive power of the Pleas ant Valley Railway is bearing good fruit. A gentleman who lives in the lower part of Allegheny, and is a patron of the road, said yesterday: "When I came in this morning every car was crowded. I waited for two or three before finding one in which I could get a seat "We met several on the way. All were packed. Many of the patrons of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester line are deserting it for the Pleasant Valley. I saw several cars of the former company going and coming. They were practically empty. The number of passengers in them did not exceed half a dozen. The Man chester people will have to change their motive power if they desire to retain their business." President Barbour, of the National Associa tion of Stove Manufacturers of the United State', has issued a letter to members of the association. In it he points out that the ad vance in Iron, causing a large increase in the cost of production, should be taken into con sideration before the annual meeting of the association in February. It is a fact well-known to the trade, he remarks, that there was but little profit in manufacturingstoves previous to the advance, ana, with it added, that little profit has became much less. It is inevitable, therefore, that an advance must soon be made in the price of stoves if manufacturers expect to continue in business. An old freight tariff sheet of the Chicago and Alton Railroad, dated April 20, 1863, bas been nnearthed by an officer of that company, and the difference in rates between East St. Louis and New York then and at the present time shows a decrease of from 75 to S7K per cent since the former date. Freight on flour, per barrel, was then SI 90, and now 59c; pig lead, then. 95c, and now 29c; cotton, then $2 50, and now 30c; dressed beef, then, $2 50, and now 55c, and so on. This shows the value of rail road competition. George H. Watson brought an action against a street-car company in St Paul for injuries received while a passenger upon one of their cable cars. He alleged that through the de fendant's negligence in employing unskilled servants, and m not providing proper machin ery and appliances, defendant's cable train Decame unmanageable while descending a steep hill, and ran with great speed to the foot of the grade, where the car in which plaintiff was rid ing was thrown from the track, causing the in juries complained of. Judgment for plaintiff and appeal by defendant. The Supreme Court affirmed the decree of the lower court, saying: "Tho law does not require that such additional precautions as it is apparent alter the accident might have prevented the same, should have been previously adopted, but only such as would be dictated by the care and prudence of a cautious and careful person before the acci dent, and without knowledge that it was about to occur." Statistics of the wool supply in the United States at the close of 18S9 show a heavy in crease over 1SSS. The detailed and classified reports from the markets and growers show a total supply in dealers' hands of 70,000,000 pounds domestic and 15.000.000 pounds foreign, against 50,000,000 domestic andl7,000,000 foreign in the year last named. The New York and Philadelphia stocks are less than In 1888,but Bos ton shows a,n Increase of 11,000,000 pounds of domestic wool, and most ot the smaller mar kets follow the lead of the chief wool markets of the country. The imports of clothing wool coming from abroad show a decline of nearly 75 per cent. m There Is danger that the progress of street railway building will be seriously interrupted by the impossibility of getting cars. A promi nent car builder expresses the belief that at least twice the number of cars will be ordered by street railway companies this year, than is possible for the car builders to turn out. This conviction Is also confirmed by the fact that the two principal electric railway machinery manufacturers have orders on their books which will keep them fully up to their capacity until July or August, and that, within a month, they expect to have orders for at least three times what is possible for them to turn out dur ing the year. What is the world coming toT A New York scientist says that within the next ten years some of the crandest pieces of engineering ever conceived will be started. Bridges will be commenced which, if talked of now, would be regarded as chimerical. Houses 15 to 20 stories high will be built. Tnnnels are to be built un der cities. Pneumatic tubes will be construct ed to carry passengers three miles per minute. These schemes all exist In the minds of engi neers, and are being worked out into practical shape. ON THE FENCE. Local Slocks Inactive and Whbont Impor tant Cbnnse Up or Down. The stock market was quiet yesterday, with few changes either way. There were no new features.

THE BANK SCANDAL Used br the Bears to Depress the Share Market, bat Without Success The Trouble Entirely Local and Temporary. NewYoek, January 30. The stock market was less active to-day, but remained feverish and irregular throughout the day, though prices as a rule advanced in the forenoon and declined later in the day. The bank scandal was the principal topic of conversation upon the street to-day, and the Hears made all the use of it possible, and while some sales of long stock was induced by the stories, the greater part of the selling was for the shore account. The opinion soon gained ground that the affair was entirely local, and little long stock came out. The bulls made a vigorous resistance to the attack, and were loud in the declarations that the check to the upward movement is but tem porary and that its resumption cannot long be delayed. The arbitrage huuses were sellers of Louisville and Nashville, especially In the fore noon, but this Is fully accounted for by the dif ference fh money rates at the 2 cent. One of the most prominent features'of the day was the buying of New England, which was principally upon orders from Boston and the inside interests which have been bulling the stock for some time. Pacific Mall was also a strong point in the list, and the purchases seemed to come from parties connected with its former management. The crowd in Richmond and West Point were less active than yesterday, and failed to get its price above that of last evening, but they allege a determination to boom their stock. The Grangers were more prominent, ana acted suffer than for the past few days, hut Burlington and Rock Island sagged away, both being lower this evening. Sugar was again the feature of the unlis'ed department, and it was supported at the decline by the par ties who have been active In it for the past few days, and it rallied to above 64, retaining almost all of the Improvement at the close. The afternoon's trading was dull, and prices again sagged away, though little progress was made, and while the close was quiet and rather heavy, the changes from last evening's figures are in all, but a few cases, for fractions only. There was not a single important decline, while Sugar rose 2, Delaware and Hudson V-A, and Pacific Mall 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were still less active to-day and the tone of the market quite irregular, though at the close advances are rather the more numerous. Texas Pacific seconds fur nished 3116,000 out ot the total for the day of $1,519,000. The advances include Keokuk and Des Moines firsts, 2 to 103; Long Dock 6s, 2K to 122K: Cleveland, Painesville and Asb taoula firsts, ZK to 109. Manitoba firsts lost 4, at 113.
