A Diamond market butcher who gets his supplies from Herr's Island thus puts the situ tion of the markets there: "The quality of the cattle offered to-day was a slight improvement on late receipts. The highest price paid was S5 25. and the low est $1 0 f nr steers. The range for sheep was 6c to tjc. and for Iambs, 7c to 7c Hogs were higher than a week ago, the outside price being S4 75." Over in Allegheny. At tfce Allegheny stock yards the offerings were 227 head against ITS head last Monday. There were 191 head from Chicago and 36 from Ohio. The quality of receipts in the cattle line was better than it has been for six months past but in spite of this markets were not so active as they v, ere a week aco. The highest prico obtained was $5 35 for some prime beeves weiKhingfrom 1,500 to 1,600 pounds. Abnnchof seven, weighing a little over 10,000 pounds, was sold at So 25. The range for the Ohio cattle was S4 00 to $5 CO per hundred. There were 150 head of hogs on the market and all were promptly sold at S4 65 as the outside figure. There were no sheep offered. Lambs to the number ol 49S brought from G7c per &. Ent Liberty Mnikri. The offerings of cattle at these yards this morning w ere 75 loads, against 70 loads last Monday. Of those on 'he market to-day 52 loads were from Chicago and the balance from Ohio and Indiana. There w ere verv few stock ers and feeders on the market and demand cor respoiided. The quality of the cattle otterings was a fair average. Thereweie practically no prime beeves for sale. The best offered could notin the largest cnarity be called more than lair. Buyers were not plenty and markets started out rather slow at last week's prices for good, smooth batcher stock. Common and low grades were slightly off and prospects w ere at noon that man- of this grad-j would be sold only at liberal concessions. Sheep and lambs were fairly steady at test week's prices. There were not more than 31 cars on the market. A lew bunches of wethers wclphinpve pounds brought S6 30. and some extra niie Iambs sold as Inch as 7"4c but these figures were a shade above the market. There n ere 22 loads of bogs on the market with $1 CO as the price for tops. A few very choice were sold at 4 65, but could bardly be considered as a criterion to markets.

Wbt-nt More Active and Higher Oats Move Up nnd Corn Down Bullish Crop Report. A slight Knlly In Hoi Products CHICAGO Wheat Trading was active and a stronger feeling was developed. The market was a broad one, and the numerous outside orders received carried the market out of tho control of the local operators. Operators, how ever, generally felt bullish, and there was no desire under the present condition to short the market. Those who sold quickly covered when the market turned against them. The firmness and tone of the market induced some covcrinc The market opened Hc kicher than Satur day's closing, and with only slight fluctuations advanced $c more for May and 1HC fr July, eased off some and closed about lc higher for May and IKc higher for July than the closing figures Saturday. Aside from the natural condition of the mar ket the firmness and advanre of to-day was assisted some by the unfavorable tenor of crop reports received, many of which were accom panied with buying orders. From points in Indiana advices were received claiming not more than half a crop. The Illinois report was unfavorable, and advices from St. Louis tell of damage to the winter wheat. Corn There was a very good business trans acted, the market most of the session ruling fairly active, within KKc range. The feeling prevailing was nervous and unsettled, though the undertone appeared to be firm, the market sympathizing with wheat some. Tho unfavor able weather also had a stimulating effect on values. The speculative market opened firm at Saturday's closing prices, and under a brisk demand advanced KSJlJc, reacted $ic, ruled easy and closed a shade lower than eaturdav. Oats were active, stronger and higher. Tho feature of the trading was the strength ana ad vance in July, which sold up c from opening ficures. The strength was attributable to the advance in wheat and corn, the sharp demand from shorts and the report of a good many buy ing ordprs. Offcrincs were not larce except at the advance and caused fair recessions, but last sales w ere at K6?ic above the last sales on Saturday. Mess Pork Only a 'moderate trade was re ported and the feeling was stronger. A promi nent local operator purchased moderately, while the oflerincs were rather light. Prices were advanced 57c on the whole range. At the improvement there was a little more incli nation to sell, but the demand was light, and prices settled hack 25c and closed compara tively steady. There was very little trading during the latter part of the session. Lard A very quiet feeling prevailed and trading was limited. Prices were a little more favorable to sellers, but outside figures were barely supported to the close. Short Rib Side A fairlv active trade was re ported.

B016-C7-TTSSH MORMONS ON THE RUN They are Selling Out to the Gentiles, Causing a Boom in Realty. PITTSKDRGERS TAKING A HAND. How a Prominent Business Man lost Good Thing by Being Too Hasty. BEARISH TALK flEAKD ON WALL STREET A syndicate of Pittsburg capitalists, represented by Mr. Hoggs, formerly of Mt. "Washington, is speculating largely in real estate in Salt Lake City, where a boom is on almost equal to that which a year ago swept Southern California. A member of the syn dicate said yesterday that they had com pleted a large number of deals, on which they had realized handsomely. Mormons are selling out nnd Gentiles are buying. The movement is so great that it promises to revolutionize the politics and religion of the city. W. C. Stewart had an offer on Saturday of 850,000 for a property located on Squirrel Hill, near tho park, but refused it. He wants $5,000 more, and says ho will get it. The tract con tains about 14 acres, and is well adapted to resi dence purposes. Considering the demand. ground in that neighborhood has not risen to the exorbitant height that was expected. This moderation on the part of owners is one of the most encouraging features of the real estate market. It Is a guarantee of permanent activ ity. A few fortunate individuals have the gift of foresight, but this great advantage is denied to the mass of humanity. They are unable to real ize a good thing when they see it The truth of this was illustrated in the experience of a busi ness man on Fourth avenue a few years ago. He told the story substantially In these words: "I have made considerable money, but have lost a great deal more by not striking when the iron was hot. One day in 1878 or 1879 a promi nent real estate agent came to me and asked mo to invest about $3,000, along with several others, in a piece of property in the East End. He presented the matter clearly and fairly from his standpoint, and showed how a bandsome profit could be made. "Real estate at that time was regarded with some suspicion. Rapid transit was unknown, and settlement was slow. I examined the sub ject hastily and declined to make the invest ment. The other gentlemen wei e wise. They bought the property, consisting of several acres of beautiful land, held it for a while and then laid it out in lots, and later sold them at a high figure. Tbey made at least $50,000 bv the deal." He added: "In the present condition of the real estate market I consider it tho best invest ment that can be made. The rapid Influx of population and the great expansion of business will not only Keep up the demand but increase it. This means a gradual enhancement of values, making it an object to capitalists. I can see no possibility of a reaction." Whitney & Stephenson's Wall street special says Notwithstanding the beautiful weather and tbe glad Eastertide the talk yesterday was more uniformly bearish than in many weeks previously. The traders who met at tbe Wind sor dunng the forenoon and again last night thought tbe market is destined to go lower. They advanced a dozen or more reasons for their sudden chance or position. The most formidable obstacle to any improvement, they said, were tho exceedingly low state ot bank reserves, the fact that Mr. Gould is talking bearish through his son George, tho unsettled state of railroad affairs, particularly west of the Mississippi, tbe absence of any outside pub lic, the utter lack of European snpport,conpled with the fact that London is selling at every opportunity, and because all the little traders are loaded up more or less with dividend pay ers and trash alike, and are simply awaiting an opportunity to sell out. SLOW BDT STEADY. Locnl Securities Firmlv Held and No Signs of ConceaKions. There was nothing eventful in the local stock market yesterday. Buyers outnumbered the sellers, indicating an Increase of orders. Sales were 149 shares. There was a sale of Philadelphia Gas Trust at 31 the first move ment in it for a long time. There were no price changes of Importance, but nearly everything was firm, with no dispo sition to make concessions. It looks as if in vestors will have to come to the market to do business. MOBNIKQ.

In solid business Pittsburg is more tban holding her own. Most of the banks were liberal lenders to regular customers. Acceptable pansr was taken at 67 per cent giltedced at 6. Money was in cood supply and working toward greater ease. This tendency, it is expected, will re ceive a check when the spring trade gets fairly under way. Money on call at New York yesterday was easy, ranging from 25 per cent, last loan 2, Prime mercantile paper, 57. Sterlins ex change quiet but strong at $4 85 for 60-day bills, and $4 87 for demand.

BELOW EIGHTY. Petroleum Rcacbca tho Lowest Point lor Three Yenn Field Work. The oil market opened weak yesterday, and sagged till the close, reaching the lowest point recorded for three years. 1 here was very little trading, and nothing on the surface to cause tbe break, field news being about tbe same as last week 1 The fact Is, as remarked by a broker, the market is entirely without support, except from room traders. It is not quite low enough for the standard, and consequently that corporation is not ready to take the stuff. The range of fluctuations was: Openine and high est; 81c; lowest and closing, 79c Satur day's clearances were 138,000 barrels. Tbe Citizens Oil and Gas Company's No. 1, on the McGowas lease, south of Washington. Pa,, got the sand Sunday and during the night oil commenced flowing over the derrick. There had been no connections made, and the well was shut in. It opens considerable territory. The Vandeciift well, near Groveston, is meeting expectations, and is certainly a big thing. Sundav. with the valve but half open, it filled two 250-barrel tanks in a few hours, through a 2-Inch pipe. Good judges, who have watched tho gusher, say it will produce 100 barrels an hour when further connections are made, which are now underway. It pulsates about every 15 minutes, blowing off a strong volumo of gas with a loud roar, then stops for a second or two, when tho oil follows In a solid stream, clear and entirely free of water. The Fisher Oil Company's No. 2, on the Fer guson 40 acres at Shannopin, is cood for 20 barrels a day. P. M. Shannon's No. 3, 011 tho J. P. McConnell farm, has been shot, with the result of increasing its production from seven to 70 barrels a dav. Giiley Bros.' Rea farm well, in the Westview field, is nearly 50 feet in tbe sand, with no show of oil. As the Ivory well got oil at 35 feet in the sand, it looks rather blue for the Gailey well. In tbe Hundred-foot district another good well has been struck in J. S. Petterson & Co.'s No. 4, on the Eicholtz farm. It is doing about 25 barrels an hour. Wood&Younc's No. 3. on the Cable farm, will be a good pumper. The Nichols farm well of Jennings & Co., two miles northeast of Mars station, has found a pay streak below the 100-foot sand, and' after being shot and tubed will pump 50 barrels a day. IT'S A RECORD BREAKER, Tho Groveton Gusher Grow nnd monopoly Wants Production Curtailed. The big Vandergrift gusher on the A. B. Young farm, Forest Grove, is a genuine start ler. It is something like the Johnstown dis aster, in the fact that it has been growing in stead of decreasing since it was struck. There are people, and among them such old vets as San Gould, who went through Petroleum Center excitement a quarter of a century since, who insist that the Forest Grove wonder makes 100 barrels an hour. The scalper was aDroad in that section yester day and he was as numerous and as lively as a colony of fleas in a pig yard, aud there is a deal of monkeying going on also, the intent being to shut in territory. The Standard is known to beat it, as some of its emissaries have been spotted. It is more than monkeying, it is gorillalug. One intelligent German in Robinson township, who, though intelligent, is rather too trustful, was badly taken in. He cannot read English, and the party who leased bis farm read tbe lease to bim, and as it as read was satisfactory, it was signed at once. Subsequently when operations were not begun according to promise, the German bethought him of stirring tbe monkeys up, and found that be was tied in a series of legal knots his farm effectually shut in and his lawyer bad assented to it. The matter was laid before another lawyer, who pronounced tho case hope less, although the German had witnesses to prove that the lease had been read to him in an entirely different manner. The complica tion consists in his having signed on the advico nf liio Uurvar irVin Iia rintim thml.c im e In V. Uld IHnjbl. flUV bUU 1WU1U kUlUDiO ITlIJ U the game. Thousands of producers were as thoroughly taken in when they voluntarily joined the shut-in movement and killed specu lation by assisting to strangle short traders. Now the Standard is practically the only buyer, and it does not propose to pay high prices that will insure Its carrying a large sur plus. Thus we hear of an independent pipe line project. The octopus is supposed to "be putting down price to choke development, and the plan is about as effectual as the tieing up of territory by means of leases, whose contents would glvo the traditional Philadelphia law yer's ingenuity a chance for exercise. Fisher Oil Company's No. 2, Shannopin, is good for 20 barrels a day ; P. M. Sliannou's No. 3, J. P. McConnell farm, shot and production increased from seven to 70 barrels a day: Galley Bros.', Rea rarm, Westview. 50 feet in sand and no show, though tbe Ivory got oil at 35 feet; J. S. Patterson fc Co.'s No. 4. Eicholtz farm, 25 barrels an hour in the 100-foot; Wood & Young's No. 3, Cable farm, a good pumper; Jennings fc Co.'s Nichols farm well, north of Mars station, shot and tubed and pumping 50 barrels a day from a streak below the 100-fnot; Citizens' Oil and Gas Company's No. 1, Mc Gowan lease south of Washington, shot in, threw oil over the derrick, opens considerable new territory.

Reports of Rnilronil Denis nnd tbe Bail Bank Statement Check specnmtIon A Lute Mpnrt nnd Losacs Partly KrcoTprcd. New York. April 7. The unfavorable show ing of the bank statement on Saturday with rumors of Missouri Pacific in the matter of the formation of a new association to take the place of the Inte-rState Association, caused a pause in the feeling of confidence which was so prominent during last week, and put an end to the buying which resulted from It, and to-aay's market felt the effects of the encouragement given to the bears. The pressure to-day was felt most severely in Reading, Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific, and it was boldly given out before tbe close the Union Pacific would be attacked. The decline of 1 per cent which followed was entirely tho result of this pressure. Reading was also vigorously attacked, and It steadily sagged away from 41J to 40. but in Missouri Pacific tbe success was very Indifferent. The decline in Rio Grande was accompanied by re ports of a losj of profits, and thatspecial efforts were to be made by tbe .management to cut down expenses, while the action of Lacka wanna was again used against tbe Coal stocks in ceneral. In tbe remainder ot the list changes, except in a few specialties were insignificant. Tennes see Coal was again very weak, and on light the market underwent a marked change for I the better late in the day, however, principally becanse of the more favorable advices in re gard to the Western situation, which caused the early sellers to turn buyers, and except in a few instances the losses incurred during the earlier portion of the day were nearly wiped out. Manhattan and Colorado Coal were remark ably strong, and both rose 1 per cent on light dealings. Pacific Mail also made a sharp spurt, owing to some talk about a contest over the election which will take place next month. The close was quiet, but firm generally, at slight losses from tho closing figures of Satur day. The list is generally slight fractions lower to-night, but Tennessee Coal is down 1, and Reading , while Colorado Coal Is up 1 per cent. Theie was a quiet business in railroad bonds to-day. The sales reached S370.000 for the Atch ison incomes, which were the most prominent issue in the dealings, while the total footed up toSl.527.00a Nkw Yokk, April 7. The Pott says: The stock market is now in a position in which tbe movement of prices waits almost entirely on the money market, and while it seems moder ately certain that by tbe middle of May the rates for call money will be as low as in May last year from t to 3 per cent the specula tion in stocks will be slow until the lower sales for money aro fully established. Just for tho immediate present, also there are some addi tional circumstances to shock thebuyineof the Union Pacific Northwestern Alliance, after having heen almost forgotten for a few weeks, is now being brought forward as a cause for renewed appropriations about possi ble rates west of Chicago, because of a rumor that the Missouri Pacific will not join in form ing a now Inter-State Railway Association if the Union Pacific Northwes'ern alliance is to bo acknowledged as admissible to membership.

Oats and millfeed are very active -and strong. Cboice grades of hay also show an upward drift. Wheat is fairly steady, and flour is scarcely as firm as it was a week ago. Advices from tbe Northwest prove that the damage to the winter wheat crop was worked by specnlators for more than there was in it, and hence there has been a reaction from tbe stronger markets of a week aco.

Fewpersons have expeirenccd more suffer ing from a diseased condition of the kidneys than has Mr. Andrew Hauser. During the day he had a constant tired feeling, and at night he was so rack ed with pain, with a burn ing f eve r he could scarcely get any qniet sleep, for his sleep was so disturbed with frightful hideous dreams. Tho weak ness and pain across the small of bis back, bizh colored urine. and which contained a sediment, the fre quent desire to void it, accompanied with great pain, told mm hut too plainly that db. siiafer. bis disease was fast advancing. Tbe inflammation that followed produced a stricture. As he grew weaker his food failed to digest, he had belching of gas after eating, bad tanein his mouth, and coated tongue. He felt a severe pain in his right side, ana sham uains would seize him in his arms and legs. Day bv day onr patient sufferer con tinued to grow worse, until bis blood became so poisoned, that an eruption of pimples and red blotches covered his whole body. Having been unable to find any relief, he had about given up in despair, when reading in the paper a testimonial of a patient who bad been cured of conditions similar to his by the physicians of the Polypathic Institute. 420 Penn avenne. he called upon them, and after using their medi cine which was made to so it bis case for one month ho became cured. He says: "I desire to state for the benefit of tho public that the above statement of my case is correct in every particular.
