Present Situation at East Liberty and Allegheny lards. I5EEVES ACE HIGHEIi IN CHICAGO, Bat Local Drovers Can't Bring the Buyers Up to the Advance. SUEEP STEADI, AND SW1XE WEAKER orricE of Pittsburg Dispatch ) Monday. April 14. 1890. , At Herr's Island the cattle supply varied verv little from the recent avenue, either as to quantity or quality, but demand was light and prices were 5 to 10c lower than last Mondav. As markets were higher in Chicago than last week, there is little in the situation comforting to drovers. The light demand is explained by the fact that small dealers are buying very sparingly on ac count of the ice famine. Not having the vfcerettith to preserve his meats the average batcher is disoosed to pursue the hand to mouth policy, and hence drovers find markets weak.

The cost at sources of supply was He higher than a week ago, but buyers here could not be brought tip to the increased rate. The range of prices was 4Vc to ojc. One buyer reported that he paid ouc per cwu more than his cattle cost him last Monday for the same grade. Drovers re port that there was no money to them in this week's deals, owing to advanced rates in the West. There were scarcely any sheep offered to-day at the Woods' Run yards. About 500 head of lambs were on the market, and seldom, if ever, has a better lot been offered. The average weight was 115 -, and tops sold quickly at 4c All had disapueared at noon, with the excep tion of 27 head, and these, no doubt, found cus tomers before evening. There were 11G head of hogs on the market. The outside price was S4 Go. Markets in this line were very slow. The season for pork is waning; and demand steadily declines week by week. At East Liberty. Receipts of cattle were 50 leads against 75 last Monday and 70 the previous Monday. Nearly all on the market to-day were from Chicago. The quality of offerings was scarcely up to last week, uut prices were la to 2oc stronger all along the line. Markets started out very active and this advance was fullv maintained. For a few loads of heavy catile not strictly prime, $4 75 was refused in the early part of the dav, and there is little doubt that they brought higher figures later on. It should alwavs be remembered thatKast Liberty live stock quotations are for car load lots, while retail prices are quoted for other local 3'ards. There were no cows on the Liberty market which brought above 35 per bead. Calves were in supply above demand, aud markets dragsed at 3 to 4c The run of sheep and lambs was very light, there beipg oulj hve carloads on the market. The qualiij of those offered was not up to the standard. Choice wethers would have quickly brought CVjC aud lambs 7c per Si, but the trouble was there were few, if an' of this grade iu the offerings. The run of hogs was larger than usual, the total number iu the market being 30 loads. Asaicsult of the unexpectedly large 1 un markets started out very slow with 54 50 as the outside price. It is doubtful even if this price was obtained. The time has passed lor active demand in pork lines, and, with a run as large as thatatLilerty to-day. the seller is at the mercy of the buyer.

A Flurry In Wheat Carries Prlcm Away Above the Usual Level Corn AIo Lxcllrd nnd Ulcher Pork TJnuctllrd. CHICAGO-Wheat Trading was active and all the months May, June and July shared in the activity, though interest is shifting into July, and the greater portion of the trading centered in this month. The feeling was again wild and fluctuations violent. They reached a higher level than had before been touched on the up turn. The feature of the market to-day was the varying differences in the different futures and the selling of July closer. June ranged from the same to He premium, and also sold at Kc discount. July sold early at 5Jc discount below May. and later 6?ic discount was made, but gradually selling to within 2c of the Mav price, and closed at 3c discount. The opening for May was lS3Kc higher, and July l2e higher. May sold up Kc more and then broke off 4c, and closed lJc higher. July sold off ljc and then advanced 3c and closed about 2c higher than Saturday. The highest point reached to-day shows ICJc advance from the lowest point reached some two months ago. and Julv advauced 12Jic in the same time. Snecnlation. of course, had everything to do with the advance to-day, and the shorts, frightened again, cabled to cover, and there was considerable excitement at vari ous intervals. There has no doubt been active baying of May to cover shorts, and at the same time, while there was a good deal of July sold, the later market developed active buying for that future Outside business was very large, and there is no denying that the country is trading heavily. Foreign advices were favor able, a uoting hinher Drices and firm markets. Corn There was an immense business in the market to-day. the volume of trading being heavier than at any time on the late advance. May and July receiving the most attention. The speculative market opened active and ex cited at aa advance o Jc over Saturday's closing prices, and under an urgent general de mand from shorts advanced quickly Jc, but at the top New York receivers and local longs sold freely and prices reacted to about opening quotations. More outside buying orders came on the market, and upon the tiling of the same the local crowd becoming short, prices again sold up Jlc ruled easier and closed Kc better than Saturday. There was more uoing on outside account than any day in w ecks. Oats were fairly active and unsettled, the activity and irregularity in wheat and corn having its effect un the market. The market opened firmer and K5s higher. May aud July advanced Jic more, in sympathy with other grains, aud declined J3ic Later a stronger leeling developed and puces advanced HC hut the maiket closed steady at a net gain of KS5c over Saturdays close. Mess Pork Quite an active business was transacted early in the day but the market was considerably unsettled. Offerings were not large and the demand was rather urgent. Opening sales were made at 5075c decline from Saturday's figures, but quickly advanced 1 001 2 with moderate trading at 'he ad vancing scale. Later, prices receded 75c510O and closed comparatively steady. Lard Rather a good trade w as reported and the fcehug was stronger. Opeumg sales were made at 57Kc advance, and a further im provement cl 7ibc was quickly gained. Later the feeling was easierand prices receded 265c and closed comparatively steady. Short Rib Sides Quite a good trado was re ported and the feeling was decidedly stronger during the early part of the day. Opening sales were made at 57c advance, and was quickly followed by a luriher appreciation of 7;12c Later, the demand subsided some wuat aud prices receded 7J10c, and the market closed rather nrm.

CAKNEGIE'S HOPES REALIZED. Allegheny City Abreast of the Times in the Way of Improvement EXC0ORAG1XG TALK IN WALL STREET Furnace C, of the Edgar Thomson Steel "Works, Braddock, after a three years run blowed out on Saturday for relining. This was the longest run ever made by any fur nace at these works. The production for three years was 203,000 tons. The output of the furnaces still in blast last week exceeded 1,300 tons daily. Furnace I is expected to he in operation in June, aftirwhich theout put of steel rails will not be less than 1,500 tons daily. A few days ago Mr. Carnegie tele graphed Manager Schwab that he aimed at L400 tons daily for this year. There is now no doubt that this estimate will be exceeded by at least 100 tons. Pittsburg's big and handsome neighbor, which stretches along the opposite bank of tho Allegheny river for several miles, is improving far more rapidly thau most people think. The modesty or Allegheny City people is proverbial. This is cridenco of true worth, which always finds recognition sooner or later. The city is expanding in all directions. Houses are going up everywhere, streets are being opened and improved, clectnciiid cable roads are being extended up and down and crosswise, consti tuting a pcrlect system of rapid transit and yet the people say nothing, and outsiders in quest of such information have to obtain it the best way they can. "By their works ye shall know them." The rapid growth of Allegheny City is not surprising. Her advantages, both natural and artificial, are many and varied. Public aud private improvements will favorably compare with those in any other city. Always a desira ble place for residence, improvements in pro gress and contemplated will largely increase its popularity and attract population, not only from Pittsbnrg, but surrounding towns. Pros perity is not circumscribed; it is witnessed in every part of the city. TJio old Manchester district has undergone such changes as make it look like a new town. It abounds in handsome residences and well-kept grounds. The lull district i another bright spot. A large amount of building will be done thero this year. Even in those parts of the Second ward where stag nation prevailed for years there has sprung up quite a demand for buildins sites, ten of which near the old drove ards, have been sold by Samuel W. Black & Co., within tho last two months at an average price of 175 a foot front. The syndicate lately organized to buy up property on Ohio street is not setting the city on fire The members are provokingly reticent in regard to their operations. It is known that they have picked up a few pieces of property here and there, but nothing important has yet fallen into their clutches, and so far as cin be learned there has been no material advance in values. The following was wired to! Sproul fe Lau rence from New York: Mr. P. D. Armour says he is a great bull on everything and that this is going to be a bull year for all sorts of produc ers. Farmers are going to have their inning, and even the Wall street bear will soon have to work for a living. On every hand are evi dences of coming prosperity for producers, manufacturers and merchants. Low prices for wheat and provisions are things of the oast. Pork on its merits is worth 15 a barreL Every thing is promising and the very snugcess of money is evidence of intense business activity. Whitney & Stephenson received the follow ing: The talk over Sunday was somewhat more hopeful. There are important negotiations on foot looking to a speedy settlement of tho Northwest and Western railroads rate war. It is generally conceded that matters may not have progressed qnito as far as intimated by Mr. Russell Sage, but tboo who are best in formed on the subject insist that the situation will show a matked improvement presently. Members of the Yanderbilt family expressed the emphatic opinion that the existing difficul ties would speedily terminate. LOCAL SECURITIES. Good Trading for Monday nnd Some of the Specialties Stronger. The features of tho stock market yesterday were sharp advances in Westinghonse Electric and Pleasant Valley and a decline in Pittsburg Traction; Central and Citizens' were fractional ly stronger. Holders of Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester had enlarged views. Their lowest offer was 310. Philadelphia Gas opened off a trifle, but recovered at the close. Wheel ing Gas lost grouud.

PLENTi OP FUNDS. The Local Money Market Continues In n Satisfactory Condition. Business at tho banks yesterdav was moder ate in volume, and entirely destitute of new features. One or two institutions were said to be closely loaned up, but tiie rest had plenty of funds for regular customers and outsiders, too. Rates were urchanged at 037 per cent. Counter business was active. The exchanges were $2,972,619 53 and the balances $381,265 33. Henry Clew-, & Co. say: The money market has been in a more settled conditionthe out look now being for rising bank reserves and easier rates until after the middle of July. Col lections are reported easier from some sections; aud, while trade reports are not so unifoimly encouraging as a few months ago, still there are no important symptoms of overproduction, and business still continues on a steadily in creasing scale, as demonstrated by railroad traffic and Clearing House returns.

The Oil market f-bovr That It Is Not Enblly Downed. Petroleum was firm and moderately active yesterday. The opening was S2K- New York and Pittsbnrg buyers at once took hold and boomed it to 83, from which it broke to 83. whero it hung for an hour or more, when it further declined to 81. rallying in a few minutes, however, and closing i better than the opening. Tho range was: Opening, S2J; highest, 83K; lowest, 81; closing, 82. The encouraging features, those which gave strength to the market, were a number of or ders and reports that most of the big wells lately brought in were falling off in produc tion. The principal local buyer was Mr. Forst, who scooped in a block of 25,000 barrels, at 82. Three more dusters have come in to discour age operators in the Hundred-foot district. Thev are tho Hundred-Foot Oil Co.'s No. 1, on the Sbira farm, Schlegel 4 Co.'s No. 1, on the John Dawbach farm and Dale &. Thompson's, on the Brandon farm. The Harmony Oil Com pany's No. 1, on the J. E. Dam bach farm was given a 100-quait shot without improving it. The Vandergrlft well on the Young farm, near Groveton, is holding up to 50 barrels an hour, wbilo its neighbor. Depp No. 2, has dropped to about 20 barrels an hour. P. M. Shannon's well, on the J. P. McConncll farm, at Shannopin, is through the sand and shot, and will make a 30-barrel pamper. Mechling&Co.'sNo. 5. ou the Ferguson farm, is completed and doing 50 barrels a day. The Osborne Oil Company's well, on tho Rhodes farm, at Harpesville, is making 15 bar rels a day. The tools in the Strass farm well of the Bella Oil Co.. at Bellevue, are stuck at a depth of 200 feet, and a fishing job is in progress. Guffy Co.'s David Clever farm well, in tho Chartiers Valley field is good for 100 barrels a day. OIL MEN'S TROUBLES. Bonuacs and Kind Cousins Most Talk nt Present The Bnits Offered Farmers What New Wells Are Doing. The features that attract most attention nowadays in the oil fields south of the Ohio river and east of the Shannopin field are bonus and mud. Previous to striking the well on tho Young farm it was mud alone, but even the bad roads are now forgotten and the talk is bonus. The Chartiers road is so bad. however that even mud has to be considered and work is greatly delajed in the Crafton oil field. The granger is plowing for oats, and when the sun shines the bluebirds sing. The sparrows are not yet sufficiently numerous to drive them entirely away. Quail are plenty, and on fine days you can hear "Bob White" called from every direction, and the blackbirds arc making love. For a mile or so aronnd Forest Grove the grangers are stirred up constantly by oil-lease scalpers and bonus of various sizes, and one fourth, one-sixth and one-eighth royalty are held out as bait, and farmers are almost dis tracted. The Standard has some' of them tied up, and they feel that they are shut In. A farm here and there that was not surrendered last summer on the Supreme Court decision that held operators to the strict letter of their con tracts is now in tho market, and the bonus of fered is iu proportion to tho distance tho farm may be from the Young and Depp wells; Jona than Phillips, whose farm lies a mile southeast of the Young well, was offered $25 an acre and one-eighth of the oil, and between his farm and the well $150 per acre has been paid. Within sight of the wells rigs are going up or ground graded lor them. Work has been commenced on tho Redburg farm on tho Ewing's Mill road, and some fanners are get ting prices for hauling that make them spurn farming operatiors. Reports are so conflicting in rogard to the Young and Depp wells that the only way to get at tne exact truth would seem to be to locate on the ground aud make your own measure ments. Some penple seem to be interested in bulling tho m.irker. and want tho production put down to a low figure, and others do not want land owners worked up. A man in charge stated that tho Young well made 60 barrels an hour ior tho 21 hours of Sunday, and yestcrd-iy up to noon had made 50 barrels an hour. On tho other hand a man in the city, who professed to have exact knowledge, stated that she was only making 800 barrels a day. Between 12 nnd 1 o'clock P. M. she seemed to be making all the man in charge claimed for her. and the gas was oouring from the escape pipes in the receiving tanks with great energy. One of the drillers, r ;vir. amim, siaieu mai me inrce wouiu mow tne cover off the tanks if the escape pipe were closed for two minutes. It is said there is a proposition under con sideration that may spoil her in a jiffy neither more nor less than to drill her deeper. In view of the fact that the Knopf and Moore wells wcro spoiled by deeper drilling, it would seem the height ofjfolly to experiment on a well as long as she pays the but end of $1,000 a day profit. Tho Depp well is rated low down in some quarters, but ibe writer saw her put nut from two flow pipes for 12 minutes yesterday, very nearly all they could carrv. Then she stopped for breath and he hadn't time to wait to see when she would begin again, as he bad only three or four minutes margin on train time at Groveton. Boarding house proprietors at Coraopolis are enjoying a great boom at present. Anj thing in the way of a shakedown commands a fancy price. Attention at present is concentrated ou the Kendall well, which is developing much power as a gasser at present. Should it show up as-a fair oil well all the back yads In the vicinity will be bored.

More Than the Usunl Vlffor Displayed In Certain Quarters The Bears No where The Money Market Quite rnll-fnciory New York, April 14. The stock market to day was stronger and more active than usual of late. Material improvement was made in all portions of the list. The great feature of the day was the improvement in the Western rail road situation and the growing feeling that a settlement of difficulties among the contending roads is nearing a satisfactory solution. It was at first reported that everything had been settled. The shorts went in to show that tn y are not by any means confident of their posi tion. The bulls took hold with more vigor than has been seen on the long side for weeks, tak ing the market away from the bears, and the probability that notwithstanding the material rise in prices brought about, the short interest has been very little reduced by the daj's opera tions. The rise In the early portion of the day was resisted with considerable force, but the effort was unavailing, and was soon given up. The upward movement in prices was practically uninterrnpted. and only in tho last hour was there anything like a halt, Tho roDort that all the roads had agreed to restore freigbtxates to the Missouri gave another stimulus toward the efforts to recover losses. The stocks in which there has been most selling of late were the most conspieuon iu tho rise. Hock Island, Burlington, 8l. Paul and Lackawana were the most prominent in the dealings, and in those shares the most improvement was made, the rest of the list being comparatively quiet, within narrow limits, although the entire mar ket participated in the improvement. Among the specialties were the unusual wido and sudden movement in Tennessee and Col orada common, both showing marked Improve ment at the close, though the former was dull. Manhattan was stronger and reports large earnings. Jersey Central and Now England were higher on inside buying and small busi ness. The unlisted stock was comparatively neglected, although there was more business done in it than usual of late. Tho market, after an effort to resist the upward movement ceased, showed little change in its temper and finally closed quiet, but steady to firm. It was freely stated on the street to-day that when Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan sailed for Europe lately he had for one of his objects the placing of about $10,000,000 of various railroad bonds on the foreign market. The money maiketwoiked satisfactorily throughout the day. though owing to the low state of the bank reserves, rates on calls got only as high as C per cent, and closed at 3K bid. The list to-night is generally higher. and'Ieunessee Coal is up 2. Colorado Coal. 2: Jersey Central, y. Manhattan, 11; Big Four, IK, and New England. Iper ceni. Railr-iad bonds were dull and failed to re spond to the improved feeling in stocks, the share list displaying a rather heavy tone, and tho final figure show a maifirity of declines. Sales reached only SS90.000. Big Sandy 6s lost 1, at06; Cedar Falls and Minnesota lsts 4. at 66. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been quiet and steady. The Post says: The advance in prices this morning was caused by the shorts covering, in duced by reports from Chicago that the Chi cago and Alton have agreed to restore freight rates to the basis of 75 cents to Missouri river points, which means proctically a settlement of the previous existing rate in that section of territory. In tho afternoon the market was active and strong, and the highest prices of the day were made in the last hour, tho advance from 12 o'clock prices having been 1 per cent, the strongest stocks being the Grangers and Southwesterns.
