TEE EDK OF STOCK AT BAST LIBERTY.
OFFICE OF PlTTSBUEO DISPATCH,!
THUBSDAT. February IS. 189a J
A Liberty stockman reports that the
shrinkage in hog this season is 23 per cent
greater than the average season by reason of
the inferior quality of corn. Said he: "The
corn crop was large in Ohio and Indiana
last season, bnt it lacked the oil which goes
to pnt fat on to the ribs of porkers. A
shrinkage of eight or nine pounds on the
weight of a hog has been considered a fair
average in former seasons. This year the
shrinkage is 10 to 12 pounds, and in some cases
has reached 14 pounds. Tbe hogs which come
from the farthest West show the least shrink
ace, as the corn In that section did cot suffer so
much from wet, soft weather as in Ohio and In
diana. It is not only true ot the corn crop that
quality is below tbe aTerage this season, bat
bar is in the same boat. Both corn and bay are
much below average in the elements of nutri
tion." Entirely Confirmatory.
In confirmation of the views given by tbe
stockmen quoted above, dealers in grain and
hay report that it is next to impossible to se
cure ohblce stock. One of our largest retailers
in this line said, within a few days, at the Grain
Exchange: I doubt if in tbe 26 carloads of
bay received in this market to-day there was a
single carload of really choice stock. It is next
to impossible to procure first-class corn or hay
this season, bomehow the bulk of the stuff on
tbe market of late is tar below par. Anything
strictly choice goes off like hot cakes. In my
view the depression of grain and hay markets
of late is doe as much to the low quality of the
offerings as to the large volume."
Jnat Scarce In Ohio.
A, Liberty stockman, who has spent the past
week in Northwestern Ohio, said to-day: 'T
have seldom known that section of tbe country
as well cleaned np in the lines of grain and live
stock as it is at this time. From Crestline to the
Indiana lme farmers have sold up their stuff
very close. The corn and hay through that re
gion is unusually poor, owing to continuous
rains in the latter part of last snmmer and
throcgh the fall. Raiers of live stock have for
the most part disposed of everything. North
western Ohio has not been as bare in this line
for many a year as it is now. Tbe drover will
find very poor pickings in that section for
months to come."
East Liberty' Review.
The liberty live stock markets for the week
show an advance on hogs and good butchering
cattle, and no change on sheep and lambs.
Tbe advance on cattle was due to light re
ceipts, tbe run being little more than one-half
tbe average for a few week's past.
Hogs hav commanded relatively better
prices here than at Chicago this week. Tbe
top price at Chicago this morning was H 05 per
cwt. At East Liberty $4 15 was the best price
our packers conld find, and the hogs offered for
H 45 were scarcely up in quality to those at
Chicago for $4 05. A number ot the regular
East Liberty buyers have this week gone to
the Western metropolis for their supplies, in
the faith that they can do better there than
here.
Following is the report of the week's trans
actions at the East Liberty Stock Yards:

Floor Production.
Minneapolis, February IS. The Ifbrir
weitern Miller says: There was a gain in the
flour output last week, the figures
being 115,880 barrels average, 19,313 barrels
daily against 103,130 barrels the week before
and 90,480 for the corresponding time in 1889.
The mills are running even stronger this week
though in the face of the prevailing markets
this will probably not last lone. There were 16
in motion yesterday, producing at tbe rate of
22,000 barrels per 24 hours. Some of these, how
ever, will not get in a full week's work, and the
average will doubtless fall below the figures
named.

Chicago, February 13. The large brick
and stone building at the corner of Adams
and Market streets, owned by the great dry
goods house of J. V. Farwell & Co., caught
fire at 6:30 this morning, and before the
flames conld be subdued the southern part
of it was gutted.
A carerul estimate of the loss made after
the fire was under control places the total
damage at 5476,000, ot which Mr. "Work
loses $325,000, Taylor Bros. $50,000 and
Farwell & Co. on building $100,000.

Chicago Fluctuations in wheat were
somewhat larger than yesterday, and prices
were lower. The opening was rather dull
and prices eased off Jc, Influenced some
by fine weather and weaker cables, then ruled
stronger, prices advancing c bnt tbe firmness
was only temporary, for the feeling again be
came easier and market closed about c lower
than yesterday.
Operators had some hopes of realising better
prices to-day on the strength of the reports yes
terday of larger export statement, bnt tne
clearances did not show up, and this influenced
some selling. The market the last 15 minutes
of the session ruled very weak, due to pressure
to sell, and it was claimed, tbe closing ont of a
line of long wheat.
Corn was traded in to a moderate extent
within a e range, and the f eellnc early was a
little firmer, but later became weaker. The
market opened a shade under the closing prices
of yesterday, was firm, and advanced KJJc
npon covering by local aborts, who were a little
nervous owing to the limited offerings, Somo
outside bnving orders were on tbe market for
May and July, which also had a stimulating
influence. At outside prices, however, offer
ings became longer, a prominent local trader
selling moderately and local operators did like
wise. At the close of the session prices were
He lower than yesterday's close.
Oats were active, bnt unsettled, and prices
ranged lower. Tbe market opened steady, and
advanced . Ior May. The increased offerings
produced a weak feeling and prices declined

and prices receded Kc, closing at that lower
than yesterday.

A FEW GOOD WORDS
From a Visitor for fittsburg and
Natural Gas in Particular.
A HEW TOWN CALLED CARNEGIE
To be
Formed bj the Consolidation
Chartiers and Mansfield.
of
WHY THE SUBURBS AEE FILLING UP
Pittsburg has a visitor who stands High
among Western real estate dealers and con
tractors. His name is David D. Seerie, and
his home Is in Denver. He is returning
home from a visit to Scotland, and stopped
off here to see old friends. Mr. Seerie has
the contract for the new State Capitol at
Denver, which is to cost about $3,000,000,
and also for a new ten-story hotel at the
same place, which will absorb $1,000,000.
He says Denver is improving so fast that he
will hardly know the city when he reaches
home. Lots five miles oat are selling at
from $1,500 to $2,000.
Mr. Seerie is much pleased with Pitts
burg. He thinks natural gas affords manu
facturers an advantage which will ultimately
place them ahead of all others in the world.
V
Consolidation and a popular name for the off
spring seem to have been determined upon by
citizens of Mansfield and Chartiers boroughs.
A citizen of the former place writes The Dis
patch as follows: "The citizens of Mansfield
and Chartiers boroughs have abont resolved to
consolidate and give the unified community a
new name. It has been suggested, and seems
to meet with very general approval, that we
should honor and perpetuate the name of our
good friend Mr. Andrew Carnegie by naming the
combined towns 'Carnegie,' after him. This
move is in the rizht direction, and the citizens
are anxious to have consolidation completed
before the census is taken, so that we may go
before tbe country in proper form. The new
town of Carnegie, If I may so call it, has a great
future before it. It has great advantages as a
manufacturing center, being in the midst of
natural gas, coal, limestone, oil, etc, with two
railroads which connect with tbe Vanderbilt
system, tbe Baltimore and Ohio, as well as the
Pennsylvania, giving competing rates to all
pans of the country. Tbe new name of "Car
negie' alone would help to bring it into promi
nence. The number of inhabitants in tbe pro
posed new town would be 6,500 to 7,000."
The Heal Estate Record and Builder? Guide
is doing a good work by furnishing designs by
local architects for artistic, low-priced, sub
stantial bouses. Homes are of tbe first consid
eration, and any information, hint or help in the
way of plans and methods of construction, so as
to derive tbe greatest benefit from the least
possible outlay. Is a boon to the public, and
especially to people who are not burdened with
cash. It is education in the right direction.
Pittsburg is fast becoming a city of homes, and
designs, such as those in question, will do much
to speed the good work by simplifying and
cheapening the operation of building, and,
therefore, making it easier.
Strancers to form a proper conception of tbe
size and beauty of Pittsburg should not confine
themselves exclusively to the business part of
the city, but walk or driv4 through tbe charm
ing suburbs which cluster like jewels on every
side. There they will see long stretches of
scenery unmatched in any other part of the
world, and miles upon miles of well paved
streets, lined by beautiful residences, resting in
lovely valleys or dotting the gentle acclivities.
Numerous churches and schoolbonses lift their
modest spires toward the sky. showing that ro
llgion and education have not been neelected.
Traction, electric and steam railroads afford
quick and cheap transit in all directions. Com
fort and thrift are visible everywhere. There is
nothing remarkable in the fact that tbe sub
urbs are being built up and settled at a rate
that makes the "oldest inhabitant" open his
eyes in amazement. The contrary would be
good cause Tor surprise.
Reports from the anthracite coal regions con
cur In saying that trade looks blue, and that
prices are weaker than at any other time since
last May. Shading from ths circular figures is
being done openly, even by the large mining
and carrying companies. The Reading Com
pany is selling at 10 cents a ton below the regu
lar price. A meeting was held in New York
yesterday to discuss the condition of the trade.
It is thought more of tbe collieries will be shut
down until the demand improves.
Another ear famine is reported from the
tbe West. Chicago east-bound roads are said
to be short, and the Grand Trunk has been re
fusing cattle shipments at tbe Chicago stock
yards. As cattle are a profitable class of
freight, it is accepted as a good sign that the
roads are crowded when retnslng it. Corn
shipments to Baltimore are refused by the
Pennsylvania Company. It is the general
opinion of railroad men that this season's traf
fic will be very large. Rates are well main
tained. LOCAL SECURITIES.
Business Moderate and Gains and Losses
Abont Erenlv Distributed.
There was a fairly good stock market yester
day, but business for the most part was of tbe
retail order. Investors are still chary about
placing orders, the market being so evenly
poised as to be readily moved. Anything like
a good buying movement would pat up prices.
Sales were 214 shares.
There were a number of changes in quota
tions, but they were all for tractions. Phila
delphia Gas was a notch higher, and in good

No News In Financial Circles Equivalent to
Good News.
Leading bankers reported yesterday that they
had enough money to go round and to keep the
wheels of business moving. Hates were un
changed at 607 the bulk of loans at the inside
figure. Checking and depositing vera good for j
tbe season. Exchanges were 82,876,109 64 and
Daiances o8,Bol 20.
Financial experts are still trying to find ont
the cause of the bad bank statement of Satur
day. One of them saysi 'Tt may be there was
a good deal of money withdrawn from the
banks and locked up by the bears in stocks,
who knew that a large amonnt bad been with
drawn to re-establish the three broken banks,
none of which appear in the Clearing House
statement. Then, too, the New Jersey Central
Railway Company paid off 85.000,000 of matur
ing bonds last week, tbe money for which par
pose had been previously on deposit in the
First National Bank. This alone accounts for
much of the loss. Last year at this time there
was a similarly large loss of surplus and in
crease of loans.
Money on call at New York: yesterday was
easy, ranging at 804 per cent, last loan 3, closed
offered at 2 per cent. Primemercantilepaper,

Specialties Absorb Attention In Wall Street
A Drlro at the Coalers Reading
Drops Out ot blight Bonds Lifeless
How Bluster Counts.
New Yoke, February 13. The stock market
to-day. except in the first half hour and tbe
last 45 ipinutes, was intensely dull and stag
nant, without feature or movement of import
ance outside ot a few specialties, which, con
trary to the usual rule, were more active for
tbe time being than the leaders of speculation.
It was a subject of remark that the dealings in
Reading had sunk to the lowest ebb seen in
months.
There was considerable disappointment this
morning that the Bank of England, which is
in a very strong position, did not reduce its
rate of discount; bnt the activity and strength
of Louisville and Nashville, which was largely
for foreign account, proved that there was a
better feeling upon American stocks in Lon
don, and tbe strength of the market was re
markable, considering the general apathy
which prevailed.
Louisville and Nashville was tbe only stock
in tbe regular list, showing any animation or
movement at all, and, seconded by the Trusts,
all of which were strong, though only Sugar
was active, gave the market what little charac
ter it possessed. Ibe impression that the
Havemeyers were buying sngar sent that stock
ud over 2 per cent farther, and it reached 665g
before the upward movement was checked.
Louisville and Nashville touched 90.
Among the specialties Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago and 8t. Louis and Wisconsin Central
displayed more animation than usual of late,
the bears hammering Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis because they thought
Lua. mej uvkvw- iuoiuu Beuing. Alter noon
tbe dullness again began, and the stron" stocks
of the forenoon went hack slightly, but it was
not until the action of the sale agents of the
coal roads, restricting the output- for the two
months of February and March to 2,000,000 tons
per month, was known that any movement was
made. The bears made a dash at Lackawanna
and Reading, and those two stocks suddenly
assumed the lead in the market, the trading in
each in the last hour being abont
three or four times what it had
been during the remaluder of the
dav. Each added a small fraction and the at
tack was sufficient to give a heavy tone to tbe
market for tbe time being, but no impression
of moment was made upon prices. The opin
ion on toe street is much mixed this evening,
and no one seems Inclined to offer any decided
views. The close wa fairly active and beavy,
but generally at about first figures. The only
important changes for the day were advances
of percent on Sngar and Louisville and
Nashville and-a decline of 1 per cent In Chi
cago Gas.
Tbe dullness and stagnation extended to tbe
railroad bonds, ana the dealings reached only
81.152,000, while the changes In values were on
even a more limited scale. A firm tone pre
vailed throughout.
Tbe -Port says: The Bank of England has now
maintained its rate of discount at 6 per cent for
over six weeks. The rate had not bees as high
as 6 per cent since 1362, when it TM oalyaaia
l talned foe 21 days, from January 80 to Febru
ary 23. It will be seen, therefore, that this has
been no such continued and stubborn stand
taken by the Bank of England for ten years,
and it Is believed that this lias bad an effect to
tide over the dangers that were feared from
tbe South American and otber financial
troubles, so that the financial prospect Is clearer
now than for a good many months past.
As lor tbe Western railroad situation, it is
apparent that there has been a good deal of
bluster that was never intended to be anything
but bluster There is, ot course, no certainty
that the Chicago roads will not go to cutting
rates in order to prevent freight between tbe
West and Northwest and tbe Atlantic seaboard
from taking any otber route than through Chi
cago, nevertheless the Chicago roads are all
doing well now, and the stocks of some of them
are low in view of their earnings.
Rock Island, for instance, is believed to be
earning overSper cent and Is worth as much
as Burlington.notwltbstandlngtbat it is selling
11 points lower. Some otber stocks which are
selling extremely low, considering the earnings
ot the properties, are Wabash preferred and
East Tennessee second preferred. If there
was any speculation in the market at all such
stocks as these would be active.

102,145 Tons Over 18S8.
Philadelphia, February 13. The Ameri
can Iron and Steel Association has ascertained
thatthe total quantity of Bessemer steel rails
made In the United States in 1S89, by works
producing their own ineots, was 1,611,234 net
tons, or 1.408,063 gross tons, a gain of only 102.
115 gross tons over the production of 1,565,921
gross tons In 1S88. To the total net production
Pennsylvania contributed in 18S9. 1,102,617 tons,
against 911,206 in 1888; Illinois, 620,051, against
158,639. and other States, 21,663, against 129,937..
Although the Bessemer steel rail production
of 18S9 Is shown to be but little larger than that
of the year 1888, yet the production ot Besse
mer steel ineots last year was about 400.000
gross tons larger than in 1888, and closely an-
pruacnea tne quantity produced in uaai, me
year ot the largest production In tbe United
States of Bessemer steel, when there were made
2,938,033 gross tons of ingots, thus indicating
how rapidly the demand continues to Increase

Stnctly fresh eggs are scarce and the drift of
markets Is upward. Eggs that are perfectly
reliable bring 16c to-day, and In single case lots
even higher prices are reported. Potatoes of
good quality are scarce and outside quotations
are easily obtained for this grade. Dairy prod
ucts aro unchanged. Choice grades of cheese
are very firm. Prices of creamery butter es
tablished at Elgin are the same this week as
last. In tropical fruit lines oranges and bananas
have been in over-supply for a few days back,
and markets are .weak. Lemons ot the bigb
grade have been scarce for a week past, and
markets are very firm. A drop in tbe East,
within a day or two, amounting to nearly 81 per
box; already begins to be felt here in weaker
markets. The time tor the new lemon crop Is
close at hand, and tbe present outlook is for
lower prices. Sweet potatoes and onions are in
fair demand at quotations. Choice cabbage
readily brings outside rates.

PHILADELPHIA IMPORTEES
Pass Resolutions ProtesilogAa-alnstlrlcBUn-ley's
Administrative Bill A Claim
That the Pending Bill Revo
lutionized the Present
, TarlCT.
Philadelphia, February 13. A fully
attended meeting of the" in porters of Phila
delphia was called together in the Board of
Trade rooms to-day, to protest against the
provisions of the Mckinley "administra
tive Customs bill." now pending in Con
gress. All of the largest importing firms
in the city were represented. J. Henry
Magee, of the firm of Conway Brothers,
presided. On taking the chair, Mr. Magee
said the pending bill was intended by its
authors to simplify the tariff laws, whereas,
in one sense, it almost completely revolu
tionized the present tariff. It cut into the
faces of all those engaged in the importing
business a flagrant and distinctly implied
insult. It deprives them of tbe right of
trial by jury and relegates the power of thet
jury into tbe hands of. men appointed by
partisan influences to represent the Govern
ment. In a general discussion of the meas
ure which followed, it was argued that the
features of the bill were extraordinary in
regard to the forfeiture of goods and the
punishment of importers, and in laying
upon the importer the harden of proving
himself innocent.
Resolutions were adopted protesting
against the bill, and requesting the Senators
fromPennsylvanla to oppose its passing.and
providing tor the appointment ot a commit
tee of three to obtain signatures to a memorial
against the bill, and to take such measures
as they may deem best to bring the effects of
the bill to attention of Congress.
A motion was adopted providing for the
appointment of a committee to communicate
with importers' associations, and importers
and merchants generally in the cities of
New York, Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, St.
Louis, San Francisco and New Orleans in
reference to securing united action in oppo
sition to the McKiniey bill. A committee
was appointed to go to Washington and pre
sent the resolutions to the Finance Commit
tee of the Senate, and to obtain an interview
with tbe committee oa the subject. Tbe
committee was also empowered to confer and
act with committees from other bodies on
the same mission.
