W' THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, THURSDAY, APRIL '24, 1890. ' rmi 'A C LITE STOCK REVIEW. Weekly Survey of the Situation at the East Liberty Tards. CHOICE CATTLE HOLD THEIR OWN, But Medium and Low Grade Stock Are a Shade Lower in Price. SHEEP AND SffIXE BAEELI STEAD! OFFICE OF PlTTBBTntO DISPATCH Wednesday. April 23, 189a The rnn of cattle at East Liberty for the week has been about 72 loads, against the same number last week. On Monday morn ing markets opened slow at last week's prices, and, although buyers were on hand, they were disposed to bear markets and few sales were made in the early part of the day. Along toward noon the force of buy ers was increased by new arrivals from sur rounding towns, and news came from Herr's Island that offerings there were all promptly taken at an advance. At noon Monday markets were strong at prices ol a week for all cood butcher stock. Common and low grade stock failed to respond to the upward movement, and for this class of cattle markets may be quoted 5 to 10c lower than last week. The outside price for beeves so far as could be traced was $1 75. Primes would have brought better prices, but none were in the hands of commission men. Markets were stronger on Tuesday than Monday, and stock was well cleaned up. Last week a load of common cattle was held over and tbese with last week's supplies were well cleaned up to day. There were very few stockers and feeders on the market, not enough to meet the demand. A Greene county buyer managed to gather up a. car load at S3 5063 65 but supply fell far below demand. The run of cows was light and high grade stock were couspicnously absent from the market. The run of calves was the largest of the season. There were not less than 1,000 bead la the pens Tuesday, and the total receipts for tbe week so far will not fall much, if any below 1,500 head. The range of prices was 3c to 4c 9 ft, and at these prices markets were slnggish, with the situation altogether in buyer's favor. Sheep, Lamb nod Swine. The sheep market opened on Monday, like cattle, very slow, and, unlike cattle, failed to improve on the opening for that day. There was a large run, more than double that of tbe previous Monday, and the bulk of offerings was low grade stock. In the 20 or more loads of fered on that day there were not more than 3 loads ot extra fine stock. There were 2 loads of extra clipped wether from Ohio, wbich brought JKC per fb. The balance were mostly common and medium, and on these grades prices were a shade off from last week's rates. The rnn of sheep and lambs on Tuesday was Ileht, and markets recovered the lost ground of the day before. Lambs have been in light supply all the week, aud this morning tbe out side price was 6 10. There were not more than 3 decks of boss on the market this morning, but no eagerness was shown by buyers, notwithstanding light supply. The top price was H 50 per cvrt. The pork sea son is practically over aud demand from butch, ers is steadily on the wane. WcCnll fc Co.'a Review.

The widening of Sixth street bridge and the Improvement of the Shields property will un doubtedly enhance values on that tborouch fare. Ewikg .- BrERS. the Federal street real estate agents, will open a branch office on Fourth avenue, above the new Government building. The Chicaco and Alton reductions on live stock aud packing house product went Into effect yesterday, applying from all Missouri river points. All the lots but a half dozen or so, in the Wilkins estate plan, Wilkinsburg, have been sold. About 40 fine dwellings will be erected there this seiscm. Ax offer was made yesterday on an important business property on Sixth street wbich was within 1.500 of the price asked. The difference will probably be cut in two. The report circulated yesterday that ex-Collector of 'the Port, D. O. Barr, had purchased an interest In the real estate business of Messrs. Black & Balrd. is unfounded. It grew out of the fact that Mr. Barr has identified himself with that firm as a special salesman. Quite a cumber of brokers are opposed to increasing the number of stock calls. As the principal use of the open board is to establish quotations, they bold that one call wouldxio sufficient. This would give tliem more time to attend to office business, where nearly all of the trading is done. The andit of the Orphans' Court, showing the condition of the Fidelity Title and Trust Company, is highly complimentary to that insti tution. Tbe examination was made by W. B. Nesler. Esq., under authority of the court, who reported that be examined and counted all the evidences of debt and securities held bv the company, and found them correct, thus verifjlng the balance sheets in every particu nlar. Tue trnst funds were securely invested and kept apart from other funds. Mr. Negley savs at the end of his report: "My conclusion from the premises is that tbe affairs of tbe cor poration are in good condition; exhibit evi dence of careful, prudent and business-like management, and that the company ii worthy of the confidence of the court." MARKETS BY WIRE. A Brcnk In Wheat Followed by nn Advance Due to Active Buying Ncrvoni Feeling In Pork, Which Closes Strong. CHICAGO Trading in wheat was active to day, but the feeling was somewhat unsettled. The market was Irregular, and fluctuations were quite frequent within a comparatively moderate range of prices. All sorts of in fluences were brought to bear upon tbe market. The opening was weak and K?ic lwer than yesterday's close, but good buying turned the market and prices advanced llAc, ruled weak, and declined 1010, finally closing Ho lower for May, Jc lower for June and c lower for July than the closing yesterday. The early weakness was attributed to rather free offerings, and influenced some by the re ported rains pretty much over Minnesota and Dakota. The advance which followed the break was attributed partly to active buying, a prominent local trader purchasing freely. There was a light business in corn, most of tbe trading being local, and fluctuations were limited to a Jc range. The undertone was rather easier, tuouch no decline of consequence was recorded. Tbe market opened a shade lower than the closing price of yeerday, was easy for a time, then advanced ?Jc, reacted c, ruled steady, closing KSJic lower than yester-djr- oats were active ana stronger. uu prices ranged higher, but outside figures were not maintained untd the close. The most interest centered In May and June. Offerings w ere not large and the demand was brisk, especially from shorts, and prices advanced c, June selling Kc over July. The appreciation orougnt out a liberal increase in offerings and prices yielded a little. Avery nervous feeling prevailed in pork. Opening sales were made at 1015c decline, but prices quickly rallied 3035c, with rather light trading. Toward tne close the feeling was eas ier and prices receded 1012c, but the market developed considerable strength at the extrome close and prices ruled higher. Trading in lard was fairly active, but prices ruled irregular and averaged lower. Prices re ceded 57c At this reduction the inquiry was a little more active and prices rallied again 57c, but finally settled back again to inside hguiesand closed quiet. Considerable interest was manifested in short ribs, but the feelinc was unsettled. Offerings were free early, while tbe demand was fair, and prices declined 710c. -At the reduction there was some inquiry from local shorts and prices v ere advanced o7c, but the market de veloped a weak feeling, closing easy at inside figures.

A Tunnel Under Ml. iVashinston to Develop a Large Scope of BEAUTIFUL VACAKT TERRITORY. Suggestion of a Business Man for the Ben efit of Local Capitalists. KE17 DISTRICTS COMItfG INTO MARKET The rapid absorption of choice properties for residence purposes in the East End and other districts lying immediately around the city has necessarily resulted in enhancing values to such an extent as to put them be yond the reach of a large number of people. The prosperity of the citizens of Pittsburg is undoubted, but there are those among them who cannot well afford a residence on Negley or other fashionable avenues. The direct effect of this is to divert atten tion and interest to, other localities where land is more plentiful and values less ele vated. Among the places which are being benefited by this movement may be men tioned Hazelwood and Glenwood up the river, Ingram, Crafton and Idlewild on the Southside, and several bustling towns, notably Emsworth, down the Fort Wayne Railroad. There is a great deal of unoccupied land in and around each of these places, some of which has been laid out in lots, but tbe greater part of it remains in the original tracts; and prices are much lower than lu other and more thickly settled localities. These districts have been kept in tbe back ground by the difficulty of reaching them; but this objection will soon be removed, as all of them are included in some of the rapid transit schemes wbich have lately been jet on foot. In a year or two they will be as accessible as tbe most favored parts of the East End or North side. Then, of course, property will be rated higher. The present Is, therefore, the time for people of moderate means to buy. In speaking of the development of the South side, a prominent business man remarked yes terday: "There is a great deal of splendid land over there that can be bonght from 100 an acre up. It will be the center ot a large population some time Of all the plans I have thought of to hasten its development tbe most feasible, it appears to me, is a tunnel under Mt. Washing ton, and the construction of an electric or cable road from Union station to Banksville or be yond. This would at once open up a large and beautifnl scope of country, and induce rapid settlement. There would be no great difficulty in carrying out this suggestion, and tbe benefits would tar outweigh the cost. I think the Idea is worthy of careful consideration by capitalists. That it would pay I have not the least doubt.'' LOCAL SKCGEITIES. Fractional Losses Counterbalanced by Im portant Gnlns A Mixed Feeling. Speculative trading in local securities was very light yesterday, and tbe feeling was con siderably mixed. The losses, however, were in tho majority, but were for small fractions, while the gains were important. Sales were 57 shares all at tbe first call. A month or so ago Bridgewater Gas went a-begging at 39. but yesterday everybody was hungry for it. It opened at 41 bid and closed at 43 a handsome gain. The condition of the company is said to be excellent. Chartiers was weaker and Wheeling steady. Airbrake was another strong feature. It was bid up to 114. This stock bad been going very cheap for some time, and the advance noted was no more than a natural reaction, and was completely justified by tbe large and growing Dusiness 01 tue corporation. In regard to tbe tractions there was very lit tle change in the situation. Central was a trifle higher. Citizens a shade lower and Pittsbnrg about held its own. Pleasant Valley advanced sharply, being bid up to 28. and closing strong at that figure. Switch and Signal seemed to have no friends. The best bid for it was 13. It was the general remark that it was scraping bottom. Reports from the company warrant a better price for this stock. Luster was a fraction stronger at tbe open ing, but weakened off, and closed the same as on the previous day. Tbe other mining shares were featureless. MormrnG. aftebnoox. Bid. Asked. Did. As ted.

The market fluctuated a cent, and was steady and weak by turns. The range was wide enough for good pyking, but tbe crowd was afraid to go In. The opening was 82, highest 3. lowest 82. closing 83, showing steadiness at both ends and weakness in the middle, with out any special reason for either. Reports from tbe Hoffman well atjWest view were that It was doing 250 barrels a day. The Bellevue and Glenfteld Natural Gas Com pany will put down several wells in this field in- the hope of securing gassers. Tbe McLaughlin well at Bellevue IS down about 1,100 feet. The Straw well is nearing 800. and the Heine well is progressing slowly on account of losing tho tools several times. Deep No. 1 at Groveton. having dwindled down to about 15 barrels, will be tubed and given a rest. The Deep No. 2 is making about 300 barrels a day.-and the Vandergrift gusher on the Young farm is still holding up in excel lent style with its large production. Tbe Fort Pitt Company will drill its well on the Hughev farm, now doing 15 barrels, deeper. There are two wells going down on the Quinn farm, one on the McKeown, and the Fort Pitt Company is also drilling two on the Ewing farm. ' The Webber Oil Company has been organ ized with a capital stock of 6,000. Tbe com pany is composed of Wesley Webber, Robert T. Stewart. E. P. Douglas. S. M. Brintonand & J. Clarke. Two wells that are important ones to the southern extension of the Washington field are exrected in to-day. They are Davis fc Co.'s No. 4. on the Fitzwilliam farm, and the Citi zens' Oil and Gas Company's No. 2 on the Mc Gowan. The Chartiers Oil Company has brought in another good fifth-sander.

Bears to Depress Values Successfully Resisted No Material Changes A Good Close nt Top Figures. New Yobk, April 22. The stock market was not so strong to-day nor so active, especially in the unlisted department, with a more feverish tone in the dealings during the early portion of the day. The bears attempted to carry yester day afternoon's decline farther, and some Blight depression was brought about in the first few minutes of business, but the resistance to the downward movement was so strong the pressure was soon removed, and the market rallied but became dull, though tbe same steady, slow hardening of values continued until the close. There were rumors in circulation of a pros pect of an early settlement of the difficulties between Rock Island and Missouri Pacific, but not only could no foundation for such state ment be found, but there is every reason to be lieve the fight will bo long and bitter, because tho feeling iu railroad circles is that Rock Island, which has prolonged tbe contest so long, will fight much longer. The other side certainly snows no disposition towaru a com promise. The sudden change from the early depression to the strength of the remainder of the day was in a great measure owing to the quick advance in the Coalers, and Delaware and Hudson rose 3 per cent on the execution of small orders. Lackawanna was tho feature of the dav, though less than during the previous rise. The rest of tbe list was quiet and dull all the way out. Sugar was traded in over a range of onlyl per cent. Tbe impression that this ttock has reached top for awbilo gains ground, and a small, qniet business is to be expected for some days. Among the specialties Hocking Coal, Flint and Pere Marquette and Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth were prominent for strength, but only in the last was any material progress made. The activity in tbe last hour gave an upward tendency to prices, but tbe close was quiet and steady at or near the best prices of the day. The final changes show a majorjty of gains, but the only changes of importance are advances of il in Lackawanna and 1 per cent in Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth. There was the usual business in railroad bonds, ont the fluctuations were smaller than during the past few days, while the firm tone was not so pronounced. The following table shows tbe nrlccs or active stocks on the New ork Stock Exchange yester day.

EAS ITS EYES OPEN. A Central Locution In View by tho Llbrnrr Committee for n Sonthilde Branch The Crystal Glass Company's Property Inspected nnd Commented Upon. Southside residents were considerably ex cited yesterday over a report that the Car negie Library Site Committee was negotia ting for the Crystal Glass Company proper ty, bounded by Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Sarah streets. The report grew out of a number of mysterious movements of a party of gentlemen who visited the property Friday, and, after looking it all over, held a whispered conversation. They visited the same place Saturday, and the workmen say they talked about the Carnegie Library site and discussed the merits of the plot as a central location for the Southsldo branch library. They drove away as mysteriously as thoy came, and left those present none the wiser concerning the result of their deliberations. The property formerly belonged to the now defunct Crystal Glass Company. It was sold last March at auction to Messrs. C. E. Succop and John Siebert, It fronts 140 feet on Seven teenth street, 120 feet on Sixteenth street and 152 feet on Sarah street. Magistrate Succop said last night that he knew nothing about tho visit of tho committee, except what tho work men bad told him; he had not been ap proached in regard to selling it for a library site. Workmen are now employed tearing down the old glass works. Messrs. Succop and Sie bert intend building six houses on Sixteenth street, and selling tbe other lots for building purposes. It was learned further from a mora ber of tbe Library Commission that tho Library Sito Committee as such was not ready yet to take such a move, but mav have visited tbe place in question as individuals. In this regard Magistrate Succop said if they had such a move in contemplation thev would naturally make their wants known soon, as otherwise it might be difficult to change plans already formulated. The people on the Southside have been watching closely every movt and comment re garding the library site, and are very sensitive on this point. The site in question is central and has been spoken of often as a good one. LESS THAN A BARREL PER DAT. This Is the Average for 20.000 Wells In the Brndford Field. A. H. Logan, the oil man, returned from Smethport yesterday where the famous suit of Logan, Emory & Weaver against the Pennsyl vania Railroad, for discrimination in freight rates, was to have been tried. It was again postponed, but this time the plaintiffs asked for It, Tho defendants have had the N trial staved off three times. Mr. Logan was surprised to see what a thriv ing city .Bradford continues to be. He said: There are more than 20000 oil wells in tbe field, each one producing on an average less than a barrel per day. The wells are all Sumped, and the production per diem is about ),000 barrels. The people seem to be making money, bnt Mr. Logan, who is used to the old time gushers, thinks this is rather a slow way of making money. PROTECTION FOR CRAFTON. A Citizens' Committee Appointed to Negotiate for n Flro Engine. The little borough of Crafton is all stirred up over the question of fire protection. Rccont disastrous fires have served to show the citizens that they are practically at the mercy of the flames when once started. Several chemical companies have tried to assure them that all that was needed was a few bottles of their fire destroyer, Dut the citizens are thoroughly aroused, and nothing short of a full-fledged fire engine will appease them. At a public meeting a committee was ap pointed to investigate the different makes of fire engines that would somewhere near strike tbe popular chord in price and utility. The committee consists of Messrs. James Munnel, Dr. Foster, John McEnuIty, Rev. Mr. Bragdon and C. C. Craft, THEY HAVEN'T COMBINED. Thomaon-fJonslon People Deny That an Electric Road Trast Exists. P. D. Nicols, the local agentof the Thomson Houston Company, denies that his company and the Edison people have combined in tbe street railway business. He says if such a thing has occurred he doesn't know anything about it. For the month of February the Thomson Houston company took orders amounting to $2,000,000. The Second Avenue Electric road recently ordered five more cars from the company. The roao is using only one motor on tne cars, out they intend to douMp them In the near future. Mr, Nicols said tho road is running nicely for thelimited power used. Kcndy to Receive the Roast. Mr. George F.

Package Cofee, Unexpectedly to Jobbers, Has a Tumble. PROMISING OUTLOOK FOE LUMBER office of Pittsburg Dispatch, j Wednesday, April 23, 1830. J Country Produce Jobbing Prices. April showers interfered somewhat with trade, so that volume was hardly up to general expectations, and for the week does not come up to last week at this stage. Potatoes of good quality are in good supply and demand. Low grado stock is too plenty and goes slow. Sweet potatoes are scarce and firm. Choice dairy products are steady, with prices uncbanged. Eggs are firm at quotations. Spring chickens are coming to markets more freely, but a pair of such as are generally offered would make bnt slight impression on tho ordinary appetite and a large impression on the pocketbook. Strawberries are coming in freely from the South and prices tend to a lower level. Buttdb Creamery, Elgin, 2121c;OhIo do, 1920c: country rolls, 15c Isk ANS Navy hand-picked beans, 1 731 SO.

Some dealers decline to accept orders ex cept from regular customers. This trouble will, no doubt, soon be cured, as weather of late is favorable to tbe drying out of lumber. Tbe outlook for a big volume of trade in lumber was never better. In spite of the labor com plications, there is a strong undertone of confi dence in the futnre of trade. Business is bet ter than at this time a year ago, and this in face of the fact that trade held np well all winter. A leading jobber said to-day: "The best month I had last year was December, a thing unpre cedented in our line, and still trade holds up to its average and beyond, notwithstanding large winter business."
