EVERYTHING SOLD AT AN ADVANCE Blow Opening at El liberty, out an Im provement Later On. SIlEErAKE LOWER AND SWINE STEADI office of PrrraBUKO Dispatch ) Monday. April 21. 1S9CL At Herr's Island receipts of cattle were lighter than they have been for a week or two past, and the average quality was bet ter. Demand was not active, lor the reason principally that prices were advanced 5c to 10c per cwt br drovers. This advance was, however, fairly well sustained. Prime Chicago beeves, weighine 1,500 to 1,600 lbs, brought 55 25 to 55 50; medium weichts, 1,350 to 1.450 lbs, S5 05. to 55 20; do. 1,200 to 1,400 lbs. 54 55 to ?4 95; prime lightweights, 900 to 1,100 lbs, 54 30 to 54 CO; common to fair, thin and rough steers, 53 45 to 5i 05.

A Herr's Island drover reported that markets were better to-day than they have been for many weeks past. He said: -I sold out my cattle a little too early, for if 1 had held on I could have much better prices. Beeves that I had sold for 4 70 would have brought $5 by loon. The yams were cleaned up better than 1 hae known them for a losg time. I knew of one bunch of cattle sold to an Allegheny butcher at 5 60, which was the highest price paid this season. The 5ime cattle cost 5 10 in Chicago." Receipts of cattle at Woods' Run yards were 234 head, of which IBS head were from Chicago. Quality was fairly good, and the range of mar kets was SI 10 to 5 35. While everything offered lound customers, markets could not be called brisk. Ihcie were 150 calves on sale, and the range of prices was 3J5c The number of sheep and lambs on sale was 394 head. The quality of lambs offered was very fine. There are few, if any, in our local markets in this department of live stock equal to the lambs offered at the Woods' Run yards. Clipped Iambs sold at a range of So 556 50; wool lambs at 7c Receipts of cattle at East Liberty were about Co loads, an execs'! . f 15 loads over last Monday. The quality of offerings was pronounced by drovers a Ehide better than that of last week In spite of improvement in quality, markets started up very slow. Prime Cattle Scarce. Buyers tried to make the most of the big run, and in the early morn seemed to have the mar kets in their favor. Later on there came a large reinforcement of buyers, and this with news from Herr's Island that stock was all cleaned out there early in the day, seemed to strengthen markets so that they held up well to prices of last week, with (i 75 as the outside price. There were no strictly prime cattle of fered by commission men. A feu of this grade were in the hands of re tailers, and were quoted at Cc in carload lots. Cows and calves were dull and slow, at barely last week's price. The offerings of hogs were 24 loads, and prices were a shade stronger than a week ago. Philadelphias ranged from 4 50 to 4 60 and Yorkers 4 25 to 4 40. The top price at Chicago this morning was 4 30. There was a very large rnn of sheep and lambs, the total being from 20 to 30 loads. Last Monday there were less than 10 loads on the market. The duality of offerings to-day was as much below late average as quantity was above. Thee two adverse elements had a depressing influence on markets, and prospects were when we left yards that a drop of 25 per cent from last week's prices, or even more, was inevitable.

CHICAGO A good speculative business was transacted In wheat to-day, and the feeling was unsettled, with prices subject to numerous fluctuations within a moderate range. Prices averaged lower and the general tone was easier, the bullish feeling of Saturday not being so marked notwithstanding some bullish influ ences were developed.

On the other hand, the weather was fine for the crop and rain was reported in Dakota. Crop advices do not show any special changes, possi bly slieht improvement in Kansas and Michi gan. From some sections advices say that after 20 days of good growing weather the damage heretofore reported is only the more apparent. Corn A good trade was witnessed, trading being general and the volume of business heavy within a range or c. The feeling prevail ing was strong and operations were at higher prices. A good demand existed for local shorts for May, and shippers and houses having New Y'ork connections were free buyers of July. The better tone was due largely to the advance In outside markets and large decrease in local stocks. A local warehouseman was a liberal buyer to-day through brokers. A large local trader was a free seller of May early. The market opened a shade underthe closing prices of Saturday and gradually advanced, with some reaction, KSKc, eased off He, ruled steady and closed the same as on Saturday. Oats were active, stronger and advanced c, but reacted and closed steady at an ad vance of He The early strength was due to the execution of a good number of outside buy ing orders and moderate offerings. On the bulge, however, the selling became fairly large. The weakness and decline m wheat also had a depressing effect on values, which receded "4C from outside figures.

New York, April 2L Business in drygoods to-aay was much improved over recent propor tions; order from West and Southwest, particu larly for cotton goods, were of very fair size and there was Inquiry for 100 case lots. It was evident that the tide had turned, and there was consequently a decidedly Improved feeling. There was a better tone all along tho line of cotton goods as also in woolen fabrics such as dressgoods, blankets and flannels. In woolen goods wants were confined to the future, but cottons were required for early shipment. THE LULL VANISHES. Eeal Estate Shows That It is Neither Dead Nor Sleeping. BETTER INQUIRY AND MORE SALES. A Disposition to Surrender the Old Citj AI tozether to Easiness. JOKES Of A PROMINENT OFFICIAL As anticipated would be the case, the real market commenced the week with an active inquiry and a number of im portant transactions. The lull seemed to have culminated and passed away. Among the deals reported yesterday were the fol lowing: A lot 125x200 atShadyside brought $18,750, or $160 a foot front. The purchaser will erect an elegant stone residence thereon this season. W. A. Henon & Sons were the agents. w A lot 52 feet front by 220 in depth, corner or Howe street and College avenue, East End, was sold by O. M. Edwards to a prom inent business man at a price approximat ing $100 a foot front Howe street hasjnst been opened, and is unimproved, but prom ises to be one of the most important thor oughfares in that part of the city; and this is about the first sale made there at the price named, which is considered quite reasonable in view of almost certain enhancement upon the completion of the electric road system. A transaction of considerable importance to "Wilkinsburg leaked out. J. B. Bailey, the architect, sold a lot 90x124, in the rear of the Snowden property lor $4,050, or $45 a foot front a good price for a back street; but the borough is growing so rapidly that all description of property within its bounds are valuable, and being picked up very fast. In connection with this suburban transaction it may be stated that the people are beginning to realizs that the city proper is needed for business exclusively, and are flocking to the rural districts in constantly increasing num bers, where many of them will buy or build homes. Meat Inspector McCutcheon is a humorist and frequently cracks jokes with the market bouse butchers. The other day while poking fun at one of his old friends who sells meat for a living he clinched a joko by saying: "The last roast I bought from you was so tough that the children couldn't even eat the gravy." This knocked the butcher out so completely that he could say nothing in his defense. To another he said: "You think your steaks are tender, do youT Well, the last one yon sont me could have been worked up into kangaroo shoe strings and nobody would have known the difference." The activity in building keeps the local archi tects Dusy at least 15 hours in the 24, and still they complain of being behind in their work. Among the plans just completed or in progress are several for fine stone residences out Fifth avenue, the Dalzell building on Fenn avenue, a 40.000 schoolhouse In Wilkinsburg and a large number of dwellings in tho East End, among which that of George Mc Williams, on St. Clair street, is conspicuous. The same activity pre vails on the Northside. The Soutbslde and down the valley, where a large number of fine dwellings have been planned and some of them commenced. One of the finest in Allegheny will be that of L. A. Smith, on Allegheny ave nue It will cost about 35,000. This reference by no means exhausts the list, but It is sufficient to show that those who havo predicted that this year will bo the best ever known in the history of the building trade in Pittsburg are notlikely to be classed among the false prophets. FLENII OF BACKBONE. Iocal Securities Bracluff Up Eacoarnce- mem for Holders of I.uater. The stock market was strong yesterday, but not particularly active Values all through the list showed more or less appreciation; and buy ers were more Importunate than sellers. The latter, indeea, feeling they were masters of the situation, for the present, at least, showed a disposition to hold off and wait for prices to move up to their standard. Sales were 180 shares. Even Westinghouse Electric and Luster re sponded to the quickening impulse and better feeling. The improvement in the latter was due to the receipt of a letter yesterday morning from the superintendent of the mmestatiug that considerable machinery bad arrived; that work would be pushed riglit along, and that the outlook was encouraging.

The course of the oil market yesterday was downward from the start, and the close was 2 cents lower than tho opening. The opening was about steady at 81J, but almost immedi ately news was received of a decided Improve ment in the Ivory field, tbe Hoffman and Smith wells coming in big, and a slump occurred, on which the market sold down slowly, till at noon 83J was recorded, where it hung until the last half hour, when it broke to 82JJ. which were the closing figures. The pykers were pretty ac tive, but trading was small In volume. An other element of weakness was a total absence of buying orders, leaving brokers with nothing to do but look on. The extreme range was: Opening and highest, 845: lowest and closing, 82J& Saturday's clearances were 228,000 bar rels. The Hoffman well, mentioned above, struck the pay streak yesterday morning. It soon rilled up with oil and was shut down for tank age. It is located about 300 feet west of the Ivory No. 1. The sand is a coarse pebble simi lar to that found in the Ivory. The well of R. K. Wilson, at Shield's station, on the Fort Wayne Railroad, is in, with the hole filled up with 400 feet of oil, but tbe heavy pressure of gas lrom an upper vein pre vents it from flowing. It is expected to be a 200-barrel producer. The Hundred-foot Oil Company's No. 3. on the Jacob Dambach farm, in tbe Hundred-foot district, got the pay streak Saturday night and is doing 20 barrels an hour. The N o. 9. on the same farm, is also in the pay streak with a good showing, having made several nice flows. Tho company's No. 1, on the same farm is still doing 200 barrels a day. J. a Patterson's No. 4, on tbe Charles Young farm, is making 400 barrels a day, and his No. 5 on the same farm, 275 a day. Hays & Co. have a 75-barrel well on the Warburger farm at Callery Junction, a short distance north of the station. Greenlee & Co.'s No. '4 on the Humphrey farm is showing good, and McBride fc Co.'s No. 1 on the Duncan farm has come in with several good flows at 10 feet in the sand. The well;on Lowry's run, just back of Ems worth, is down 1.000 feet, with indications of oil in the sand raised by the bailer. The Carson farm well, in the Chartiers Valley field, is showing promisingly. Drilling was started yesterday at the Katie Miller well of tho Jack's Run Oil Company, half a mile back of Jack's Run station, and a quarter of a mile from the Sobella and Belle vue wells, on a 45 line. The McCalmont Oil Company's No. I. on the Staples farm at Callery Junction, is in the pay streak, and showing for a well. Features of Yesterday's Oil Market Corrected daily by John M.

Signs of a Real Bull Movement In Wall street Fighting Rnilronds Must Hoe Their Own Kow Tho Silver Question. New York, April 2L Tho stock market to day showed more genuine strength and acted more like a real bull market than it has at any time within the past six months. The dealings extended to a greater number of stocks than on any one day in the history ol the Exchange. There was undoubtedly a large increase in out side buying orders, and tbe dealings, although aggregating a comparatively small amount, were very large in numbers. The market seems to have cut completely loose from tbe stocks of tbe fighting r oads.au d the disposition is to let Rock Island, Missouri Pacific and tbe others remain dull and steady. There was less attention paid to the silver question, though tho letter of the Secretary obtained favorable comment, and while the advices from tho West were soraowhat mixed tbe general opinion is that the situation in that section of the country is not so bad as in dicated by the dispatches. The temper ot the room this morning was most cheerful and in marked contrast to that of the last few weeks, and brokers did more legitimate business than in six months. Commission bouses were largo buyers all over tho list, and while there waR considerable realizing especially in the last hour, when tho Pressure to sell caused a partial setback, the rokers identified with the leading bears were bidders for stocks and covering of shorts was freely indulged in. Tbe increase in the commission charges upon the stocks ot the unlisted department does not seem to have had the effect expected, and Sugar Refineries again occupied a most com manding position in the market. Boston parties were active in Atchison and Union Pacific, al though neither of thoso stocks was particularly prominent in the dealings. Chicago Gas showed indications of realizing by the Chicago party in the early dealings, but became stronger lato in toe aay. i-acinc .nan was still strong on buying for control and tbe coal stocks were active and strong, being advanced by tbe pools. Tbe specialties made the only material advances for the day, how ever, as tho movements in tho more active stocks were slow and steady and at tbe close amounted to fractional ainutints only. The close was firm and active at something under tbe best figures as a rule. There was only one marked decline, Manhattan losing IK per cent, while Louisville, New Albany ana Chicago rose 4, Rio Grande Western 2, tbe preferred IK. Sugar Cotton Oil receipts 1 per cent and Gas. , Railroad bonds shared In the improvement in business, and the sales to-day aggregated 1, 896,000, with many active issues, Texas Pacific incomes contributing l.GO0.OUO, Rio Grande Western $175,000. and Atchison Incomes $122, 000. Tbe market partook of the same tone as that on stocks, and a slow but steady appre ciation of values took place, with few marked movements, and they among the inactive issues. Big Sandy rose 2 to 98; Houston and Texas 'second certificates, 3 to 115; tbe general certificates, 2 to 78: Peoria, Decatur and Evansvllle seconds, 2 to 72. Government bonds have been dnll and steady. State bonds have been entirely neglected. Tbe following table shows the prices of active stocks on the New ork Stock Exchange 'yester day.

Several other witnesses testified to Mrs. Schinitzke having lived with different men as husband and wife before she married Schinitzke.
