March 19, 189a J The tone of markets at the East Liberty yards shows improvement all along the line this week. Supply was not up to de mand for cood stock. Cattle receipts were in all about 70 loads, against "5 last week and 90 the previous week. Thero were po strictly prime cattle in the offerings this week. The best offered were fair to good butcher stock, and the highest price obtained was SI 70 to 51 75, which was an advance of 5c to 10c per cwt over last week's prices for the same tirade. Primes would have found ready sale at 5c per E and over. Markets opened active and strong on Monday moraine; and have not relaxed their Crip as the week progresses and additional re ceipts are offered. This morning a few loads which were among the arrivals were as firmly held at the advance as those sold on Monday. The run of fresh cows was liebt, and the range of markets was EM to S40 per head. Very few brought the lat ter figure. The bulk of the offerings was com mon stock. The run of calves was only fair, and markets were c per & higher than a week ago. The attendance of buvers was a lull The attendance oi nuvers was a iuu Two loads of llKht butcher cattle. about SOO Es. were bought by a nn onnntr farmer for IfPdlDP tJUr- average. averarrin" Vashlncton county farmer, for feedinc pur poses, at pi ices which were not ascertained.

Markets for sheep and lambs have been very activo all the week at an advance of 25c per cwt on last week's prices for choice native wethers and also for lambs. Western sheep have not shared in the upward movement, but are firm at old Drices. The latter, it seems, do not come to our markets in as good condition as the nearby stock. The best native wethers sold at tb 25, and a few bunches of very choice lambs were soldata fraction over 7c per &. Choice grades of sheep and lambs have been in very scant supply for some weeks past. While sup ply is Increasing demand is more than keeping pace with supply. The upward movement in live porkers, which started a week am, has been fully sustained. Tops were active on Monday at Jl 60, which was an advance of 20c per cwt on prices of the previous Monday. Tuesday is the great day for nearby porkers, which are fully 10c below Chicagos in value. Notwithstanding quality of receipts was lowered vesterday. markets were well sustained at 5450 to H65 for the nearby stock, which would be equivalent to 4 60 for Chicacos. There were on the market some four or five loads this morning, and all Eicns pointed to their quick transfer. One of our leading packers was advised by his Chicago buyer this morning that the top price there was 1 25. a dron of 15c from the highest price reached on Saturday. McCnll it Co.' Weekly Kevlen-.

The smallncss of the receipts and the prospects of their being light for some time led to consid erable competition among buyers, and resulted in all good samples being disposed of early in the day. Elevator people were out of the mar ket. The goneral talk among elevator people in dicated smaller interior shipments for some time to come. Closing quotations: Ho. lhard, March, 7t?c; May.

Chicago Wheat A good business was again transacted in this market to day, and the feeling, wbfle. a little unsettled, was rather firm within the established range. The opening was about c lower than yester day and rallied from early prices J receded Ke, ruled firmer and closed about ;c higher than yesterday. Outside trading was fairly well represented. A prominent local operator started as free buyer at the opening and his buying, with others following, assisted In ad vancing prices. The undertone was apparently rather firm, though many operators fear the market just at present is In such a condition that prices may weaken off some more. Cable advices generally noted steady markets. The strike in Liverpool is materially tending to restrict business. Crop damage news was received from Ohio, Indiana Missouri: and Kentucky, and just about as many reports were received denyng any serious damage. Corn was dull and Inactive the greater part of the session, fluctuations being narrow and easy earl-, but later showed a little better tone. The market opened a trifle undar tho closing prices of yesterday, was very tame, changing but little, and final qnotations were a shade under those of yesterday. Trading in oats centered in May. There was liberal selling by a large operator, from whom buyers obtained all they wanted at 21?S21c for May. The more deferred futures were a shade higher, with very little trading. Fork Trading was smaller than for several days past, and chiefly for May. On liberal of ferings a weaker feeling was developed, and prices receded 12X615c Later, more steadi ness prevailed, anil prices rallied 7K10c, but again declined 57c, and closed steady.

Heir to Maintain the Present Activity of the Ecal Estate Market. SJfAGS IX THE WAT OP A STOCK BOOM A deal was about concluded yesterday evening for 1C choice lots in Allegheny City, upon each of which a $4,000 dwelling will be erected this season. The Thomas Fawcett residence, with about five acres of ground, on Craft avenue, Oakland, was sold for $100,000 to D. P. lieighatd, who will occupy it as a perma nent home. A Fourth avenue real estate broker re ceived a letter yesterday from a gentleman In Cincinnati making inquiry as to the price of property in the best business part ol the city, with a view to purchasing and removing his in terests to this city. It was reported yesterday that several Pitts burg capitalists were negotiating for a sugar plantation near New Orleans. This Is probably the same deal that was referred to a few days ago. The names of the gentlemen could not be ascertained. One of them is now in Orleans. A study of the real estate sales of the past year or two discloses the fact that, with few ex ceptions, they were made on the basis of fair prices. The exceptions were in the cases of a few properties wanted for special purposes, the consideration being of secondary import ance. Holders of property should bear in mind that there is a point beyond which investors will not go. Last fall several fine building sites in the East End were put on the market at a reasonable price, and a Fourth avenue banker expressed a desire to purchase the entire block. But beforo the sale was consummated the owner thought he saw a boom coming his way. and raised his figures about 25 per cent. The banker backed out at once, and the property is still unsold. Other instances of the same char acter might be mentioned. Gradual apprecia tion as the city grows and business expands is right and reasonable, but extravagant demands with nothing but greed to rest upon, drive in vestors out of the market and inflict serious in jury npon one of the greatest interests of the city. As stated at the outset, it is easy to sell real estate at fair figures and these represent an average advance of about 50 per cent in the last two or three years, enough, certainly, to satisfy any ordinary craving for cent per cent but the moment fancy values are suggested buyers turn tail and cither keep their money in their pockets or Invest it elsewhere. So far, real estate in and around Pittsburg has been well handled, and the result has been an active market, and a rich harvest for both buyers and sellers. It is hoped this conservative policy will be continued. While there is no reason to expect a reaction in values, there is, at 'tho same time, strong ground for deprecating a radical advance. The interests of the city .as well as of individuals, will be the best sub served by maintaining, as nearly as possible, the existing order, and leaving the question of enhancement to the exigencies of demand and supply. w A drummer of long experience remarked yes terdayr'A traveling man of standingandexperi ence in any trade never speaks of bis rivals ex cept in a friendly spirit. If he cannot do that, he says nothing at all. Some of the younger members of the fraternity, who are Quick to 'catch on,' have noticed this fact, and, anxious to copy, they speak well of everything and everybody in their trade, and give merchants so much of this kind of taffy that It becomes sickening. The best plan for a drummer to pursue is to say nothing when he has nothing important to say." Competition among sellers of capital has be come the leading regulator of prices, control ling money much in the same way as it con trols commodities. Pittsburg and every other largo city knows the truth of this from expe rience. Hence, all alike welcome and seek the multiplication of banks, and every description of loaning company or financial agent, well knowing that, other things being unchanged, their increase insures easier money and en courages enterprise For these and other rea sons Eastern capital is invited. A Wall street special to Whitney A Steven son says: "The professional traders do not wish to take any fixed position so far as the future of the market is concerned. They say that they see no encouragement, even with the promise of sharp rallies, to load up with stocks, because as soon as any specialty makes an ad vanceof irl per cent somebody opens the bag. thns giving conclusive evidence that there will be many false starts yet beforo the real bull market gets under way." The Wall street Investigator says: It is said that Mr. Frank Tack, Vice President of the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange, and a prominent petroleum commission broker, is making preparations to leave this city for Pittsburg, Pa., where he will engage in the oil producing industry. Within tho last ten months, at least a dozen of the principal com mission houses and traders on this Exchange have abandoned the business, including Har vey DoWolff, Young fc Stephenson, George W. Fuller, Jr., S. Morris Pryor, Joseph Craig, C. M. Eaton, A. C. Lawrence Orvis Bros. fc Co., George H. Lincoln, Livingston Roe, George W. Pitou and John C. Crevere Dealings have de clined from millions of barrels of oil daily, to an insignificant amount, and thus the Othello of the petroleum pit finds bis occupation gone. LOCAL SECURITIES. Pleasant Ynlle j Continues Its Upward Mo ve Incnt Washington Oil Cornea Hlsfa. Further advances In Pleasant Valley Rail way, Chartiers Gas and a bid of 85 for Washington Oil, the best for several months, were the principal features of the stock market yester day. Electric and Switch and Signal were fractionally weaker. Philadelphia Gas and the tractions were practically unchanged, with a good demand for the former. Business was slack, sales at both calls aggregating only 150 shares. There were more buyers than sellers, which is a pretty good indication that prices are up to stay, at least until the present demand is satis fied.

A MOSEY JIISTERI. Small Note Dlsnpprnr I.Ike Pouring Water Into nitnt llolr. Scarcity of small notes was a subject of com plaint at most of the banks yesterday. Gold was employed largely in the settlement of bal ances. What becomes of the currency is a imsteryhard to disentangle. Said a cashier: "We have no small bills at all. They are ordered out by the 850.000 andS100.000 at a time, but it is like pouring water into a rat hole They almost immediately disappear; no one knows whither." Business was of the usual tenor. Bnsiness men were liberal borrowers, gonerally at 6 per cent The supply ot funds was adequate to all purposes. Cheeking was oif a little, but de positing was fair. Surplus accumulates. There will be plenty or cash to honm the spring trade. Exchanges were J2.375.S90 51 and balances J443.523 50.

Petroleum was firm yesterday and dull and active by spells. The" market opened at the lowest point and closed at the highest. It was bid np early by tho Pittsburg shorts. The only break oc curred late in the day, caused by Bradford sell ing. It rallied in tho last half hour, and held the advance till the close. Most of the selling was of long oil. The range of fluctua tions was: Opening and lowest, 87c; highest and closing, 8SJc. Tuesday's clearances were 1,083,000 barrels. Another well of considerable promise has been brought in in the Chartiers field. It is on the O'Brien farm, and is eight feet in the sand. It had produced about 125 barrels up to yester day evening. The well on the Smith farm, in the same field, has increased its flow to aoout 250 barrels a day. Guffy & Co.'s Free farm well at Coraopolis is completed at 20 feet In the sand, and is put down as a 15-barrel producer. It is being tubed for pumping. E. M. Rutin's venture on the J. C. Morris farm in the Mt. Morris field is completed and will be good for 50 barrels a day. His Dave Vie No. 3 is through the first pay streak, and the Barry No. 1 is due in the pay in a few days. The Hundred-foot Oil Compan's gusher on the Jacob Dambacb farm, in the Hundred-toot district, encountered a strong flow of salt water after being drilled in, which had the effect of cutting down its output to about 25 barrels a dav. The Wood 4 Young well on the John Dam bach farm is doing 250 barrels a day. T. W. Phillips' No. 16, on the Jacob Stamm farm at Glade run, is one bit in the sand and flowing at the rate of 240 barrels a day. Several private individuals will commence drilling on the estate of Robert Hunter lor gas or oil in a few days, and Guffy & Galley will put up a rig at Jack's run. This point will bo watched with much interest by oil men, as it is supposed to be on the line of the Ivory and the Arbuckle well at Chartiers. The oil excitement at Bellevne is at fever heat, and although that borough is two miles from the Ivory well at least $100,000 will be sunk in holes whether oil is discovered or not.

The Forest Oil Company's well on lot 156, Kane, Pa., has come in dry. Several operators in this field will drill several of the dry holes to the lower sand in the hope of striking a flow. W. E. Griffith struck the third sand at a depth of 1.SO0 feet at Wildwood, and the gas blew the tools out of the hole The well flows ten barrels an hour, which is expected to be largely increased by deeper drilling. McCluno fc Co.'s, on the Graham farm, near Butler, is making 150 barrels per day. The big gushers in the hundred-foot have declined to a moderate output. Wood & Young's is the best producer, and is now doing 300 barrels per day. Barnadai.l it Moore's No. o near St. Marj's, W. Va.. is 15 feet in the sand, and for the last 12 hours put 325 barrels o oil in the tank. She will probably be a thousand-barrel well when drilled through. McCullough's Ham met No. 2 has reached the pay streak) and is do ing 20 barrels per hour. The Island well, one mile ahead of the field, is now drilling the plug out. and has made three flows of 15 barrels each. Other OH Markets. Bradford, March 19.

DULL AND HEAYY. Railroad Sbnres Fall Into a Enl A Narrow Movement of Prices Small Losses in I ho Majority Bondi LI fries.. New York, March 10. Tho stock market was dull and with a generally heavy tone dur ing the forenoon, which gavo place later in the day to a firmer feeling, and prices are left at insignificant changes from last night's figures. The usually active list all fluctuated within the narrowest limits, and the only wide move ments were made in the specialties and were few in number. The principal influence upon the market to-day was the weakness in London, which was a reflection of the uneasiness in Berlin over the resignation of tho great Ger man Chancellor. The depression of the oponing was of short duration, and was accompanied by no activity or excitement, and the market quickly settled down into its usual dull and listless condition, the movement in prices being scarcely per ceptible in the great majority of the list for the remainder of the day. Almost all of tho news bearing upon the stock market was of a favor able nature, and the report of Chairman Fait horn that satisfactory progress had been made toward the settlement of the rate disturbances between St. Paul and the seaboard was a pow erful aid to the late firmness in the market. Tho opening was made at concessions from last night's figures of from to per cent generally, though London prices came' from K to 1 per cent down. A few further losses were sustained, but prices soon began to rally, after which the usual dullness and stagnation ruled the list until well Into the afternoon, when sugar refineries moved up on the prospect that the dividend quostlon will bo settled to-morrow. Tennesseo Coal also indulged in one of its sudden movements, rising from 45 to 51 on a rumor that the differences in the management had been settled. Some other sharp movements took place in specialties, and Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, after a decline, rose to 71. Louisville and "New Albany and Chicago dropped about 5 per cent from its last previous sales and Toledo and Ohio fell off over 1 per cent. The market as a whole, was almost barren of general features, and finally closed aboutsteady at close to first prices. The final changes show a majority of declines, which, however, are In variably for insignificant fractions, while Tennessee Coal Is up 5 per cent and sugar 1J. Railroad bonds were also extremely dull, the sales of all issues reaching only $870,000, with no special animation anywhere in the market. The Jfott says: The fact that the prices of stocks were a little lower in consequence of a political event in Germany does not. however, necessarily imply that the stock market would be very seriously affected even if the worst ap prehensions of the extreme conservatives should be realized. The values of these stocks and bonds are based on thoir dividend and in terest paying prospects, and certainly these prospects have not been so good for all rail roads in tho United States at any time in three years as they are now. There is an unusual abundance of capital in Europo seeking investment, and when the owners of that capital become convinced that the present prospects are rapidly materializing into a great and permanent improvement lu the earning capacity of the railroads, there is likely to be a greater inflnx of foreign capital for investment than has been witnessed at any time uoiore.

Bananas are quiet. There is a scarcity both of good apples and potatoes in onr mar kets, and ontside quotations are easily to be bad. Onions are good stock. Cabbage is slow, owing to high prices.

Seasoned hemlock lumber is very difficult to find and markets are very firm. Good dry ash, cherry and walnut are also scarce and firm. The principal complaint of lumber men is con cerning weather and roads. Once the weather settles and country roads become passable there is little doubt that an active demand will start up. Prospects for a large volume of trade through the year are unusually bright. PINE UXFLAjriD yard qcotatioxs.

Few persons have experienced more suffer ing from a diseased condition of the kidneys than has Mr. Andrew Hauser. During the day be had a constant tired feeling, and at night he was so rack ed with pain, with a burn ing fever he could scarcely get any quiet sleep, for his sleep was so disturbed with frightful hideous dreams. The weak ness and pain across the small of bis back. hizh colored urine. f.ind which contained sediment, the fre quent desire to void it, accompanied with great pain, told hint but too olalnlv that DR. 21IAFER. his disease was fast advancing. The inflammation that followed produced a stricture. As he grew weaker his food failed to digest, he had belching of gas after eating: bad tate in bis mouth, and coated tongue. Ho felt a severe pain in his right side, ana sharp pains would seize him in his arms and legs. Day by day our patient sufferer con tinued to grow worse, until his blood became so poisoned, tbat an eruption of pimples and red blotches covered his whole body. Having been unable to find any relief, be had about given up in despair, when reading in the paper a testimonial of a patient who had been cured nf conditions similar to his by the physicians of the Polypatbic Institute, 420 Penn avenue, he called upon them, and alter using their medi cine which was made to suit bis case for one month he became cured. He says: "I desire to state for the benefit of the public thattba above statement of my case is correct in every particular. I bad been suffering for over two years, and had given up all hope of ever being cured, but Dr. Shafcr. of the Polypathic Medi cal Institute, has cured me.
