THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. THURSDAY. MARCH 2T. 1880. LIVE STOCK REVIEW. Cattle Markets at East Liberty Show Weakening Tendencies, OWlXGgTO LOW GRADE OF RECEIPTS. Shecj and Lambs in Very Light Enpplj and a Little Higher. bush op rooi: hogs weakens trade Office or Tiie Pittsburg Drsr atcii, J Wedmesdat. March 28, ISOa Receipts of cattle for the week, about 78 loads, against 70 loads last week, and 75 for the previous week. Markets opened strong on Monday morning at prices of the previous Monday, and nice, tidy butcher cattle were a shade higher. Prime 1,600-pound steers would have quickly brought f4 755 00 per cwt, but iu the language of a leading drover, were as scarce as hen teeth. On Tuesday about ten loads of mixed cattle, of all grades and Bizes, excepting primes, were dumped onto the market, and the result was that prices dropped not less than 10c per cwt on all common and medium stock. Good butcher cattle held up fairly well to prices of last week in spite of the depression on common stock. This was. however, due to the scarcity of the former prase, Tuesday's receipts lurmsnea no stocK St for transportation to the East. The bulk of them had much better been keDt at home a few months longer and enjoyed some generous feeding. Said a leadinc stockman: "A very larce pro portion of the cattle sent to the East Liberty yards this week were poor mixed lots, entirely unfit for butcher purposes, and less St to be shipped East. Shippers seem to be possessed with the idea that 1'ittsbnrg consum ers are starving for something to make soup out of, jndging from the quality of most of tbe cattlo coming in of late. There is no trouble what ever sellinc tidy botcher cattle weighlnc from 1,000 to 1,300 pounds, but very little of this grade is being shipped to us of late. Of the 10 loads that arrived on Tuesday there was not a f ingle load of the kind wanted in our market. A few steers might have been found iu each load, but the majority were thin, bony steers, cows, and dear knows what, which would have been much better left in tbe corn fields and pasture fields until their ribs gathered a little tallow. Stock of Poor Quality. VMarketshave been at the mercy of buyers all the 'neck, and principally for the reason that the offerings were of a grade unfit for tbe butcher trade. I do wish that the farmer would waken up to the fact that he can do better with his thin, low grade cattle by keeping them at home and feeding them well for a season than by damping them on to onr market, where they can hardly be Riven away." What is said above as to cattle is in a great measure true as to all live stock coming to the front of late. Quality is tbe chief thing com clamed of, and all choice stock holds up well in price because of its scarcity. Pries for sheep and lambs were higher this week than at any time this year. There was an advance of 15 to 25c per cwt on last week's f prices for the reason that receipts were very ight. Native ethers are hardly quotable as very few were offered. They would readily brine S6.50. The range for Western wethers was BotoCiic Choice lambs weighing from W) to 1(3 lbs ere active at 7c to 7jc. Sucklersor spring lambs are too plentv this week and dropped from a range of 10c to 12c per lb to a ranee of 6c to 9c n ithin a few days. Hogs have been slow all the week. Light pigs and common stock constituted a large proportion of tbe receipts and on these grades markets have been very doll. Best selected stock bnds a readv sale at a range of S4 40 to $4 50 per cwt. The outside price at Chicago this morning was H 25, according to advices re ceived by one of our leading packers from his buyer there. This is an advanco of 10c to 15c per cwt over Monday's prices. ItlcCnll fc Co.'e Weekly Review. Tbe supply of cattle has been fair, and the demand limited. The market on Monday was Blow at strong last week's prices.

CniCAGO Wheat There was only a moder ate trade to-day, and a weaker feeling was de veloped, priceo ruling somewhat lower all round, with the weakness most marked for May. The opening was about c lower than yesterday's closing, with the feeling easy and prices subject to a further decline of lie, then rallied slightly, but aeain became weak, and prices for May declined lc, while July declined only ic then ruled steadier, and the market closed about a lower for May and KJc lower for July than the closing figures of yes terday. The weakness was attributed to the fino weather, but more particularly to the dull and heavy feeling reported in the European mar kets, all of which were quoted lower, and the English market advices were emphasized with tbe remarks that indications favored still lower prices. A dispatch was received saj ing that some of the Russian ports were open and that Russia was offering to sell more freely. Corn was traded in to a moderate extent, and the feeling dereloped was a little easier, trans actions being at slightly lower prices. The easier tone was attributed almost entirely to the decline in wheat. Tbe market opened a shade under closing prices of yesterday, was easv. thouch no decline of consequence was noted, fluctuated slightly and closed Kc lower than yesterday. Oats were moderately active and steady early, but closed weak and a shade lower. There was good buying for May by a larce operator, who sold on j esterday and selling by most of those -who bought. There was little outside demand late in the session, and prices receded Kc for May. July showed consid erable strength, and a few trades made were at a slight premium over Jane. Mess pork Rather an active business was transacted. Prices rnlod somewhat irregular within a range of 57Jc, and averaged higher, but outside figures were not supported to the close. Lard A fair trade was supported and a com paratively steady feeling prevailed. Short rib sides There was a fairly active trade and the feeling was comparatively steady and fluctuations within a narrow range about the same as during the previous day.

April settlements promise to pass off with out a hitch an evidence of good times and plenty of money. Nearlt all the tenement property in Pitts burg, business and residence, has been rented, and the demand Is far from being satisfied. The Western passenger rate war is rapidly reaching demoralization. The Rock Island ac cuses the Missouri Pacific of working with the scalpers and threatens to retaliate. There is official authority for tbe statement that in May next the directors of the Northern Railroad will declare from tbe surplus an ex tra dividend of 25 per cent, amounting to S750,- ooa The ticket office of tho Baltimore and Ohio Railroad will remain where it Is, corner Fifth avenue and Wood street, for tbe next fire years, the company having leased the lower part of the building for that length uf time The people indorse Dr. Bull's Cough Svrup in preference to all other mnoh mm. edies, MOEE OUTSIDE MONEY Seeking Investment in Business Property in Fittsbnr?. A HALF MILLION DOLLAR ORDER. Another Big Deal in Keally at Dazelwood and SeTeral More Fending. LIFE INSURED IX THE KICK OF TIME The Pittsburg fever is spreading at a rapid rate among outsiders. They begin to realize the importance of the city as a business center, and are anxions to get ia on the cround floor. As a proof of this Messrs. Black & Baird yesterday received an order from parties, presumably in Philadelphia, to purchase business property here which will cost in the aggregate from ?150, 000 to $500,000. They are willing to pay a fair price, but exorbitant figures would probably spoil the deal and causo the loss to the city of an enterprise of great importance. It was mentioned yesterday in connection with the sale of St. Michael's Seminary prop erty at Hazelwood, that Samuel W. Black fc Co. were negotiating for the transfer of a block of 16 building lots in the Blair estate. The deal was closed up yesterday afternoon, at a price approximating $16,000, or 81,000 a lot. Buildings will be erected on them this season. They are located near the end of the Second avenue electric road. Tho same firm has a deal pending involving a block of about 20 lots and a tract of 12 acres, being part of tbe Blair estate, and within a convenient distance of tho electric road. These transactions are exciting considerable interest among investors, and focusing attention upon Hazelwood as a desirable place for residence. The business prospects of Pittsburg were never brighter than at present. All branches of trade are prospering. There is no boom in anything, but the busy appearance of tbe streets and store, factories and offices, affords conclusive evidence of a high degree of activity. There are few idlers. There is no city in the country where labor finds more stable employ ment, or is better remunerated. Said an iron worker yesterday: "Pittsburg is the best city in the United States for the worklngman. He not only lives well, but, if careful, lays up money, and in dne time becomes proprietor of the house he lives in." A great deal ot real estate is owned by worklngmen, and many of them have handsome credits at bank. The prosperity'of tbe working element is reflected in that of tbe community at larce. There is such close relationship between the two that they must stand or fall together. But tbe prosperity of Pittsburg should not be a matter of surprise. Her superior commercial and manufacturing advantages place her ahead of all rivals. With an abundance of coal, coke, iron, oil and natural gas at her very doors, and with abundance of capital and skill to utilize them to the utmost, it would be strange if she did not take the lead in industrial activity. So far from showing exhaustion, her energies are in full vigor, and she is constantly reaching out and finding new markets for her products. Under such circumstances it is no wonder that wide-awake people in other cities, less favored by nature, are desirous of establishing themselves in business in Pittsburg. Let them come. There is room for all who want to better their condition by locating in a live place. The certainty of death and the necessity for those having families to make provision for them are strikingly illustrated by a circum stance which has just come to light. A few months ago a prominont insurance agent, since dead, and a friend, an architect, were dining together in a down town restaurant. The con versation turned on life insurance. The agent proposed that his friend, then and there, take out a policy for 7,000. Tbe architect bad no money. The agent proposed to tako a note at three months. This was agreed to, and the policy made out. Two months afterward, and before the note was due, the architect was murdered. In due time tho 7,000 was paid to the widow. It was alt she bad. With it she purchased two houses. Sbe lives in one and rents the other. LOCAL SECURITIES. A Fair Volume or Tradings bat Vnlaea Show a Retiring; Disposition. Trading in local securities was on a larger scale than usual yesterday, but at the expense of values. Most of the specialties were weaker. Total sales were 525 shares. Stocks showiug most weakness were Pleasant Valley. Luster, Central Traction, Switch and Signal and Philadelphia Gas. Cbartiers and Wheeling Oas showed fractional improvement. PIpeare and Electric were about steady. As usual for some time, last prices were tbe lowest. It is the opinion of many brokers that there will be no material improvement in prices until after the April settlement. KOBJJIWO. aftibwoox. Hid. Asked. Bid. Asked. Pitts. P. S. & M.

The oil market developed more strength and steadiness yesterday than usual of late. Open ing at 84, it lung aronnd that fitrure until about noon, when it advanced to 85. from which it broke to 81, rallied and closed steady at S5ii. It was a pjker's market throughout, being bid up and offered down with very little doing. Refined was weaker. Tuesday's clear ances were 290,000 barrels. A good strike is reported on the Tate farm in the Chartiers field. The wellstarted off with a rush, and is said to be good for at least 200 barrels a day, some sav more. It is located be tween the Arbuckle No. 1 and the Fritz wells. Tbe old Davis well in the same field is still producing 100 barrels a day. Calhoun, Jennings fc Co.'s well, on the Mansfield Coal Company property, is still drilling, with but a poor out look for anything better than a dry hole. Wesley Weber and W. E. Clark are starting a rig on the Joseph lav farm, a few hundred feet from the O'Brien well, which Is doing 125 barrels a day now. Rigs are also going up on several adjoiningfarms. The E. M. Ilukill well, on the J. M. Winett farm, near Fairmont, W. Va., came in Tuesday night, and oil was spurted over the derrick. Tho well was immediately closed down. It is over a mile west of the Fleming well and six miles from the Hamilton well, the pioneer in this field. It indicates a much greater breadth of oil territory than any of the operators sup posed. In the Sheffield district. Horton, Crary t Co.'s last strike on lot 196 is completed and doing 500 barrels a oay. The daily production of Hague fc Grandiu's six wells recently com pleted by them is 2,000 barrels, the best one of .these making GOO barrels a day. Their No. 1 on lot 55 is dry, after a fruitless effort to find the Kane sand. What is considered a big strike in that region has been made on the Dunlap farm in Crawford county by Bovard, Wallace & Co.'s No. 2coming in at the rate of 100 barrels a day at seven feet in the sand. The oil was thrown 40 feet In the air. but since then the well has settled down to 75 barrels. Features of Xesterdaj' Oil Market. Corrected dally by John M.

Rnllrond Shnrei Dull, Bnt on the Road to Improvement Fears ot n Monetary Stringency Disappearing Nearly Everything Cloaca Higher. New York, March 26. The stock market showed a still smaller volume of business to day, but there was, on the whole, a much better tone to tbe dealings than on yesterday, and the result of the day's operations is to leave almost everything traded in slightly higher than last night. The fears of a monetary stringency are fast disappearing, but tho bull leaders are apathetic and tne Dears are disposed to bej over-cautious, leaving the operations from daM to day in the bands of tbe professionals and room traders, who show very little disposition to extend their ventures boyond the day, and fluctuations are confined within tbe narrowest limits. The near approach of April settlements without signs of stringency in the money market makes the bulls hopeful. There seems to be little of tbe foreign selling left, and most of the operations between the London market and this one are arbitrage operations, while the completion of the fortnightly settlements there gave a better tone to the market for American stocks. This was another rise in foreign ex change which was due principally to the scarci ty of commercial bills and had no appreciable effect upon the market. There was some activity in spots to-day and Missouri Pacific, Rock Island. Ontario and Western and Sugar refineries and Uuion Pa cific were all conspicuous, though their sales would on any ordinary day be considered small. The expectation of a dividend upon Missouri Pacific made it a leader in the limited npward movement, which obtained throughout the greater portion of the day, and the buying for foreign account sent Ontario and Western to tho front for the first time in a long while. Tbe better outlook in the West helped tbe Grangers, but only Rock Island Showed any special strength. Sugar was the only stock which showed any width to its fluctuations, and after a drop to 63 against 61 last even ing, it recovered almost all of its loss. The market is -almost all higher to-night, but no marked advances were made. Railroad bonds werea little more active to day, tbe sales of all Issues reaching Sl,2ol.OOO. which business was very evenly distributed. There were no special features to the dealings, and, while a firm tone prevailed, the movements were extremely small and few marked changes are shown to-night. The -Post says: Of course everybody in any way interested in railroad securities feels a good deal of interest in the endeavors of the representatives of the trunk lines and Western roads in session in this city to adjust their rates with the lakaand rail lines to the North west. The lake lines of steamers very justly claim that they can carry freight between Buf falo and Duluth for the same price that they can between Buffalo and Chicago. But it Is quite pUiu that tbe Chicago railroads cannot compete because the railroad route is over 200 miles longer between Buffalo and Duluth than between Buffalo and Chicago. The "Zoo" line and the Lackawanna's new line via tho Flint and Pere Marquette and Green Bay and Win ona are the only Tail lines that can compete with the lake steamers, and they will probably insist on large differentials as compared with the lines via Chicago. If there is any difficulty in setting a basis for all the lines it will only be because tbe lines from Chicago to St. Paul, Minneapolis and the country north of there want to insist that the shorter distance from Buffalo to Duluth shall be Ignored.

The Sessions Court at Barnwell is now engaged in the trial of one of the most remarkable cases of lynching on record. On the 7th of January last a white man named David Beady took from three deputy sheriffs a black prisoner named "William Black. The officers were taking the man to the county jail. Black was suspected of having stolen a coat from somebody in the neirborhood. Beady was drank. Less than a week pre vious eight negroes had been taken from the Barnwell county jail, tied to trees and shot to death. Beady imitated the Barnwell lynchers. He overtook the posse of three deputy sheriffs with the prisoner on a lonely road, took the prisoner irom them, tied him up to a tree on the road side, shot him to death and then went off. Arewardof $500 was offered for him and he was subsequently arrested in Georgia. This is the man who is now being tried at Barn well Court House. During the progress of the trial it was proven that a friend of the prisoner had attempted tobribe one of the jurors. This stopped the trial and the briber was to-day fined ?20. The old panel was discharged and a new panel summoned. The trial is now in progress. Beady is de fended by some of the ablest attorneys in the county. Tne general impression is that he will be acquitted. LATE NEWS IN BRIER Boston's Home Market Club oppose a duty on hides. Washington lumber men will form a pool to maintain prices.

The Board of Rail road Commissioners has handed down a de cision in the matter of the accident on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Bail road on March 6, near Hamburg, in which 6 persons were killed and 21 injured. After reviewing the facts in tbe case the board comes to the following conclnsion: From the statement of facts there can be but one conclusion as to the reckless culpability of Conductor Houehtaling. He should not have left Dunkirk until the air hose had been re placed upon the disabled car. and the rear car supplied with air; nor until the safety chains had been securely refasteued, or other chains, which are carried on tbe locomotive for just that purpose, supplied. It is proper to say that, inasmuch as he did leave Dunkirk with tbe rear cars In the condition they were, be should at least have notified tbe sleeping car conductor and porters and rear brakeman of such fact, so that they might have been on the lookout. It appears from the testimony that be did none of these things. His conduct throughout is more remarkable from the fact that he is a man of 62 years of age, has always borne a good reputa tion as a careful conductor, and had never be fore met with a serious accident to his train. The board is also of opinion that Engineer Albert P. Mooney showed bad iadcrrent in leaving the station. Inasmuch as Honchtaling bad informed him that that there was no air on five cars in the rear. Mooney defends his con duct upon the ground that Rule No. 2. printed upon tbe backs of the time cards, states that conductors will have charge of trains, etc and that no conference bavins; been requested by the conductor, it was hit duty to obey him. The boar J bas made a careful examination of the Cowell coupler, which gave way first at Dun kirk and then at Hamburg. The board deems that such couplers are in the highest degree dangerous, and should not be used. Great complaint has been made on account of officials ot tbis railroad, and of other railroad companies in accidents, refusing all informa tion to tne press, ine ooara recognizes reasons for tbe indisposition of a railroad company to have facts and circumstances in detail of an ac cident hurriedly given to the press by news paper reporters before time bas been bad to carefully investigate, for tbe reason that mis takes are apt to be made to the great prejudice of the rights of the company. On the other hand, however, the board deems that a brief statement of the salient facts of tbe accident, civing tbe names and number of killed and in jured, could, with propriety, ana should, be given by railroad companies.

Few persons have experienced more suffer inc 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 burning 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 his back. mgu colored urine, and which contained a sediment, the fre quent desire to void it, accompanied with creat pain, told him but too plainly that dr. siiafeb. his disease was fast advancine. 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 his mouth, and coated tongue. He 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, that an eruption of pimples and red blotches covered his whole body. Having been unable to And any relief, he had about given up in despair, when reading in the paper a testimonial of a patient who had been cured of conditions similar to his by the physicians of tbe Polypathic Institute, 420 Penn avenue, he called upon tbem, and after using their medi cine which was made to suit his case for one month he became cured. He says: "I desire to state for the benefit of tbe nnblic that the 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. Sbafer.-of the Polypathic Medi cal Institute, has cured me. I have not felt a well as 1 now do tor years. 'Andrew Hauser." Mr. Hauser is engaged in tbe manufacture of glue at rfites Station, on the West Penn. R.
