AT LITE STOCK YARDS Cattle at Herr's Island in Better Supply and Quality. LIGHTEUflATTHE LIBERTY YARDS. An Upward Tendency for Good Butchering Beeves Apparent. EHEEP STEADI ASD SWINE L01YEK Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, Monday. May 5, 1890. At Herr's Island the offerings of cattle were unusually large to-day,and quality con giderably above late average. Markets were not as active as they have been for a week or two past, but prices were firm. A Diamond Market butcher reports that he paid 55 10 tor the same quality of cattle he bought last Monday at f4 85. Following was the range ot prices: Good to choice heavy Chicago beeves, 1,500 to 1,600 lbs, 55 25 to J5 50; medium weights. 1,350 to 1,450 fts. Si 75 to S5 00; do. 1,200 to 1,300 lbs, $4 50 to $4 70; prime light weights. 900 to 1,100 lbs, ft 25 to 54 GO; common to fair thin and rough stock, S3 25 to 54 00. Fresh cows were iu oversupply, and slow at a ranee of 525 to 545 per head, and sales reported at 530 to 540 per head. S;The supply of calves was in excess of de mand and market was dull at a range of 3Jc to 4jc per lb. Bulls, stags and dry cows sold fairly well within a range of2J to 3Jc per lb. Receipts from Chicago: A. Zeigler,123 head; L. Gerson,120; A. Froram, 71; L. Rothschild, 34; E. "Wolf, 20. From Ohio: Seedy & Smith, 2; Sanford & Co., 3; Cruikshank & Co., 2. From Pennsylva nia: J.

There were no prime wool (.beep on the market, and no demand lor this class. The day for wool sheep is orer for this season. Fair to good sold at 55 75 to 56; clipped sheep, 55 50 to 50; the latter price for some fancy bunches ot 'Western stock. Common and mixed stock sold at 54 25 to 54 75; food yearlings, 55 75 to 56 50; spring lambs, 7c to" 9c per lb.

Flinner, 34; total, 342; last week, 317; previous week, 769. Offerings of hogs were light, demand fair, and market steady, though at a decline of 1015c from last Monday's prices. The season for pork is fast waning, and butchers require very little in this line. ChicatrosandOhios sold at 54 50 to 54 70, and Pennsylranias at 54 45 to 54 55. A few of the latter sold at 54 00 to 54 25. Receipts From Chicago, I. Zeigler, 80 head. From Ohio, Needy & Smith, 325; Cruikshank & Co., 20; Sanford & Lancdon, 33 From Pennsylvania, J. Rjiber. 16; G.

Markets opened up slow, but all were sold at a shade better prices than last week. The range of prices was 4c to 5'c. To-day's offerings were all from Chicago, and prices paid there were 25 per cent more than the previous week. The slight advance here did not cover the increased cost at Chicago. There were 325 lambs on the market, which brought 6 to 6c per lb, and C9 sheep, which sold at 5 to 5c per ft. The offerings of hogs -were 74 bead, and top price was 54 G5 per cwt. A.s the Wood's Kun trade is entirely with butchers, and demand fiom this source for hogs is Jisht at this time of the year, markets were slow. At East Liberty the offerings of cattle for the local trade this morning amounted to C8 loads, against 100 loads last Monday. There were 33 loads from Chicago and 10 irom Omaha. The quality of offerings was a fair average, but primes were not to be had in carload lots. Good, smooth butcher stock were active at 1520c advance on last Mon day's prices. This was principally due to the fact that receipts in this line were not sufficient for the "rants of our local trade. A lew loads offered were too heavy for our butcher trade, and, as there was no export demand, this grade dragged. There were scarcely any t-tockers and leeders on the market. They would have found quick sale at strone last "week's prices. This was the only grade that,did not decline in price on last week's heavy run. Fcntni rs of I lie Ulnrket. The average price of cattle at East Lib erty is 75c tier cwt higher than at this time a year ago. Receipts of sheep and lambs 18J loads, mostly from Ohio. There was one load from Illinois, and (our loads were from Pennsylvania. Tne quality of offerings was below average. All on the market were clipped sheep, excepting one deck. Last week's prices were fairly well maintained, and prime stock would have brought an ad vance. The best wethers on the market sold at 5Jc and the best yearlings at GJjfc per pound. Advices from New York were unfavorable, and this, on top of the fact that quality of offerings was low, weakened markets toward noon. There were 32 loads of hogs on the market, against 20 last Monday. Demand from butchers being very light at this season the situation was in favor of the buver. The outside price for tops ranged from 54 35 to 54 40, and at these figures trade was slow, with some prospect ot iurther concessions before the pens would be cleared up.

Almoit a Fanlo In the Wheat Pit Every body Trying to Sell, Canting a Break Corn and OnteAcllve Fork Neglected. CHICAGO The wheat market was active and the feeling very unsettled to-day. Prices fluctuated within a wide range and the changes were rapid, making the execution of orders very unsatisfactory. The market opened 20I 3c lower, due to the reports of general rains all over the country east of the Rocky Mountains. There was a general pressure to sell and the speculative offerings were unusually heavy. Everybody wanted to sell, and the feeling was decidedly panicky, but at the decline a better demand sprung up, and a prominent operator, it was claimed, put in numerous brokers to buy and sustained the market. Persistent buying for a while absorbed the offerings and at the same time encouraged parties who bad not already sold to bold on to their wheat, and the feeling changed, resulting In a rally of 3Jc for July, which at present is attracting the prin cipal attention, then declined lc. ruled ii reg ular and closed about 3c lower for May, 2c lower for June and 2c lower for July than closing figures Saturday. Both buying and selling orders were attended to with difficulty. In the first place, the decline of 2J3c from "the close Saturday to the open ing this morning was very unsatisfactory, espe cially to parties having stop limit orders to ex ecute, and again the upturn of nearly 4c in prices was unwelcome, a part of this advance being so rapid as to make the flllintr of orders at a certain price difficult. About three-fourths of the acreage In tbo Jim River Valley is re ported seeded. Rain also fell in the winter wheat sections. There was another large trade in corn, with the surrounding condition about the same as noted for several days past. The feeling pre vailing continues strong, though upon the open ing there was rather more disposition to sell, but offerings were quickly taken by all classeB of buyers, and the market ruled higher. The principal strengthening influences were the small receipts, large shipments and decrease in local stocks, as alio the upturn in wheat. There was a cood general demand on local account, and New York was aid to be bnying freely, as aKo provisiou houses and parties with foreign correspondents. The market opened active and excited at ic under Saturday's closing prices, but offerings weie absorbed, and the market advanced with slight reactions ljc. offered c, ruled firmer and closed Hc belter than Sat urday. Oats were active with an nnsettled feeling prevailing, and prices changed frequently within a range of c Tho principal trading was in July, uhich, owing to the receipts of grain in the West and Northwest, was offered quite freely at times, particularly at the open ing, and the difference between it and May spread from to ?c. Opening sales were at ic decline. Buyers took hold freely and prices were bid up c. May showing tho greatest advance. The strength in wheat also assisted in the advance. Later, when that mar ket weakened, outsiders sympathized and re ceded Jc and the market closed steady for May, but Jc lower for June and July. Trading in pork was unusually light. Sales were almost exclusively for July delivery. Prices ruled 1020c higher, and the market closed steady at medium figures. Trading in lard was moderate. At the open ing a few sales were made at 2c decline. Later the market exhibited a little more strength, and prices slowly improved 57c. Toward the close the feelinc was quiet, aud last sales wero made at about Inside figures. A fair business was done in short ribs during the early part of the session, and prices were unsettlea. Offerings were fair, and a few sales were made at 2.5c decline on Satnrdav's closing figures. Later the market exhibited considerable more strength, and prices grad ually improved 7Q10c, though trading was only moderate- The market closed rather easy at medium figures.

A EEAL EbTATE BROKER TALKS. Local Business News and Gossip and Latest Movements in Eeal Estate. ' SCHEKLET PAEE MISSES A GOOD THING It was learned yesterday from a reliable source that Nos. 164 and 166 Fourth ave nue, adjoining Mr. Dalzell's new office building in course of erection, are to be de molished and a fine business block erected in their stead as soon as the plan can be drawn up. The property is owned by Mr. A. Israel, vwho purchased it a few months, ago for 550,000. He Changed flig Mind. Mr. J. M. Hoeh denied yesterday in a way not to be misunderstood, that he had given 100 feet to the Schenley park. He made the offer some time ago in good faith, but under conditions which, for reasons best known by the city authorities, was not ac cepted. He thereupon withdrew the offer. This change of purpose on the part of Mr. Hoeh, involves a series of circumstances, the publication of which would make mighty good reading, but in the interest of business the story is withheld for thejpresent, - A Real Entitle Broker Tnlks.'' In regard to the condition of and outlook for real estate, Mr. John B. Larkin. of Larkin & Kennedy, remarked yesterday: "I think busi ness Is picking up. We are having a larce in quiry for both property and mortgages. We sold a piece of land In the Twenty-Second ward on Saturday at a good advance over a month ago. There is a great demand from renters, many of whom are new accessions to the city. The class of houses they want from four to eight rooms is very scarce, and quite a number of the ap plicants have been unable to secure quarters. This want should be supplied in the interest of the city. As I view it, the outlook for a con tinued strong aud healthy market is all that could be asked." A Blc East End Denl. James W.

A GOOD BEGmNING. Bnslneai at the Local Bnnki Starts 00" With a Rnb. A large volume of business on Saturday and the accumulation of checks over Sunday swelled the bank clearings to large proportions yesterday,- $$053,100 94 about $200,000 larcer than those of the previous Monday. The bal ances were $501,881 58. The fact that Pittsburg reached the home plate far In advance of Balti morenearly $3,000,000 better gave great satis faction to a number of business men who are taking great Interest In tho friendly rivalry of tho two cities. The supply of money, notwithstanding the act that at least four of the banks are closely loaned up, was reported to be sufficient for all lecitimate business requirements, and some to spare for emergencies. Discounting was liberal, and 67 per cent rates maintained, the bulk of business being at the inside figure. Several bank officers remarked that tbeyear so far had been the best in their experience. Henry Clews & Co. say: "It may be said that business is not satisfactory in all respects, and that the agricultural sections are suffering from depression: but these considerations have had their full effect, and the broader and more lastlne prosperity of the country at larje, as reflected in the improving condition of rail road property. Is beginning to assert Itself in a very unmistakable manner. It is true that in some departments trade has been, somewhat overdone and injured by a mild winter, hence the frequency or commercial failures. It is equally true, however, that these troubles are only superficial; that they are but the tempor ary consequences of indiscretion or overtrad ing, and not due to any unsoundness in the general condition of trade. On the contrary, the business interests of the country were rarely In a healthier condition than to-day; and, bearing in mind that wedk spots must always remain, the recent disasters in commercial cir cles are in reality not of a character to disturb confidence. They are like passing showers, which simply clear and refresh the atmosphere after the rain is over."

M0BE SAND HT OH. The Market Rather Dull bnt Moves on a Higher Level. The oil market opened steady yesterday at 81, with very little doine. On a show of buy ing It soon went up to 85, but almost as quick ly fell back to 85, and remained there until about 1:30, when Oil City gave It a boost and it advanced to 85, the top of tho day. It then sagged off, with very few sales, aud closed steady at 85 of a cent better than the opening, and i better than tho close on Satur day, The weakness was duo to a report that Ivory No. 2 had been brought in and was doing 50 barrels an hour. There was very little news of Importance re ceived from the field- Two dry holes were re ported In the Sbannopin district one on the Stonesypher farm and one on the McConnell farm. T. II. Barncsdale's Guyton farm well near the Griffith, at Wildwood, found 2V -feet of sand, which was good at tho top, but after a few feet got hard and close. The well filled up about 400 feet with oil, but is considered no good. The Griffith well has gone down rapidly under the drill. Since being drilled in it has dropped from 200 barrels a day to about 60 or CO. which is now the daily production. O'Brien No. 2 at Duff station was reported vesterdav morning as making anywhere from 600 to 800 barrels a day, but Contractor Brooks, who drilled the well, says it" will not be over a 5 or 30-barrel producer as present appearances go.

Cbartleni, Forest Grove, Coraopollj nnd Hnjiville Oil Fields Between Drill ing; and Leasloc Other News From the Field. There is a hill back of Forest Grove from which you can see to ML Lebanon, southeast to Mt. Nebo, due north trom the post of observa tion, and with a field glass a very considerable portion of Allegheny county oil territory was pointed out yesterday by a gentleman named Standisn. The first thing that strikes the eye of, the ob server is the stunidltv displayed by a class of men who in most respects are sharp as razors. Notwithstanding the fact has been demon strated hundreds of times that you may bore all around a gusher without getting another well worth working, yet operators continue to huddle The Chartlers field is covered with constellations, 15 or 20 derricks being found within the compass of half a mile, and then you find an open space of perhaps two miles. As soon as some wildcatter strikes in unoccupied territory another cluster springs up, and one driller in three or five gets oil. Thero will be some sore hearts in Cbartiers. Forest Grovo and" Coraopolis districts before Decoration Day, but that will not stop drilling. At Cbartiers the operators huddle at present around the O'Brien well: at Forest Grove there is a forest of derricks around the Young well. Theproperty .around the Depp development being generally tied up operators can afford to wait, as the territory cannot bo drained by in terlopers. Operations will begin soon on the Wettengall farm, once Guy farm. It is four miles south of the mouth of Montour ruu. From Forest Grove to Clinton, several hundred acres have been leased, and by the terms of the lease operations must be com menced this summer, and of late operators be gin to think strongly that a belt of productive sand lies in that direction. A Coraopolis enthusiast has the following to say: Excitement over the Coraopolis oil field inns high. More than six wells will come Iu this week. The Jolly Bros. Aueusta Oil Com- S any have one well Just completed on Captain lendall's property. This well is watched closely by all parties Interested m the Lora- opolls district, as it lies the farthest tb the west ot any well in the field. The well at present is flowing oil and salt water in abundance. The salt water is beine cased oS and the well will be brought in on..Monday or Tuesday next. The well In 'Squire Jacob Ferris' orchard is about down. Gas was struck on Saturday. The lights were nut out and the engine removed some distance away. The well drilled by Brldgewater Gas Com- Sany, between the Lake Erie Railroad and the hio river, on Alfred McCabe's land,carnes off the prize for rapid drilling, having distanced every other company drilling in the field. The well on the Shanks farm, Neville Island, oppo site Coraopolis. was due yesterday. Oil was found in the 100-foot sand, bnt its owners de cided to go down to the Gordon sand. Three of the six wells on the bill near George Ferree's well will be in within a week. All this makes the field a decidedly interesting one to operators as well as residenters. Galey Brothers or Galey Bros., Guffy & Mellon (it is not positively known which) have coin- Sleted a derrick on Bog Island. It is said tbat tell m bas purchased the Interest of Frank R. Nesblt, the owner of the Island, by patent from the Commonwealth, and it is believed that Mellon and Galey Bros, and Guffy have ar ranged to operate the island together. At least the plans are completed and operations will be commenced at once. Haymaker Bros. & Co. have leased two tracts from John Wat son and T. F. Wataon, and paid a considerable bonus for them. Captain Mclntyre's property has been leased bv Ccits & McDonald at a bonus, it Is said, of S200 an acre The tools are stuck in one of Jolly Bros.' wells. Tbey fell 600 feet, and there is consid erable cable in the bole, bnt it Is thought they can be recovered without much trouble. Srr Well Near Cndlz. Cadiz, O., May 5. The Post well on the Uvey farm was drilled through the sand Saturday and a good showing of oil. The pand was 70 feet, and four pay steaks were f onnd. It was shot with 70 quarts of glycerine and responded by a nice flow yesterday, estimated at 25 to 50 barrels of oil. She Starts OfTWell. fSFECXALTXLXORAM TO THE DISPATCH. Belmont, W. Va., May 5. The Johnston well, on the Locke farm, last night reached the sand, which was penetrated five feet, when the well commenced flowing and is now doing 250 barrels. UP TO STAY. Railroad Earnlnei and Prospective Silver Leslslntion Give Rnllroad Share a Bin Boost Gains All Along the Line. New York, May 5 The large earnings of all the railroads, as recently reported, are now having their legitimate effect in the stock mar ket, and they, together with the prospects of the passage of a silver bill, are the principal sustaining elements in the situation. The mar ket is no v almost entirely ignoring tne fighting Western roads, and the recently published In terview with several of the Western railroad managers have not had an encouraging effect upon the stocks of the various properties which they represent, nor any discouraging effect on the rest of the stock list. The market to-day was unusually active the entire session, and the commission houses report that out siders are taking more interest in the specula tion. The recent predictions that signs of returning strength indicated that a revival was at band that would bring back business enough in the street to make it equal to that of ten years ago were verified. Notwithstanding the continuous talk of reaction indulged in last week, and the hesitating nature of the market on the last two days of the week, to-day's market was strong and even buoyant, with a very large volume of business in the leading stocks. The leading strong stocks of the day were Wheeling and' Lake Erie common, Manhattan. Atchison, Ore gon Transcontinental. Texas Pacific, Louisville and Nashville, Chicago Gas, and even Missouri Pacific the latter becoming the leader of the upnard movement in the last hour, when it became known that it was represented at the Presidents' meeting at Chicago. The buying for outside centers was larger than for some time. Chicago baying the Western stocks while Boston purchased Atchison and others of its favorites, and the same may be said of Lon don. The operations of several new cliques and pools, formed lately, were very active in giving the buoyant tone to the transactions, while the bears were lef t rapidly in the rear. Everything shared in the improvement, and tho trusts showed much more life than nsnal of late, lead and cotton oil especially. The market con tinued to advance throughout the day, with littlebut slight set backs, and the close was very active and strong at the top figures. St. .Paul, Oregon, Transcontinental, Atchison, Lackawanna, Chicago Gas. Richmond and West Point, sugar and lead were the most prominent active features. Chicago Gas led the upward movement, and shows a gain this evening of 3 per cent, with Atchison. Trans continental, lead and several other specialties following. The railroad bond market was also more ac tive, and the sales reached 2,605,000, with the same issues that have led the dealings of lato most prominent, such as Atchison inconles, Texas Pacific seconds, the Kansas and Texas and the Reading seconds. The market was strong all through the list, but the feature of the dealings was the strength shown by the Kansas and Texas Issues, the advance 'in the 6s receipts running up to 4 per cent, while the other changes were generally for fractional amounts. The -Post says: As there is considerable speculative talk about Oregon Transit, it may be said that, at the present prices of the securi ties which it holds, the only obstacle to thn liquidation value of tho company and the sub sequent realization 01 tnis amount nas the out standing $9,554,009 of o per cent bonds, for the interest of which the Northern Pacific is re sponsible Now that a syndicate, headed by Drexel, Morgan & Co., has been organized to take up these bonds and take in their place an equivalent amount of the Northern Pacific consolidated 5j, this obstacle is removed. But, aside from this, it is not improbable tbat the Oregon Transit Company, as a financial agent, will bo reorganized with a smaller capital" the present stockholders having the option of taking the stock of the new company, whose field of operations would be similar to that of tbe present Oregon Trancontinental Company, though with perhaps -more comprehensive powers for tbe financing of other concerns. It is this possibility which gives additional specu lative value to the stock over and above Its book value. Possibly there would have been a reaction to-day if tho early Loudon prices had not come in so much higher this morning than tbe clos ing figures on Saturday, but money is very abundant, being only 1 to IK per cent, and this has stimulated speculation there in everything, and tbo large increase of business in stock to dav was largely in business for London account. But tbe increase of business and tbe conse quent advance of prices in the last week is also probably due In a great measure to the closing ot the "bucket shops" in all parts of the conn try In the past two weeks. The, officials of tho Denver, Texas and Ft. Worth (Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf) estimate tbat the net earn ings in April and May will be equal to twice the amount of the fixed charges for the same months.

A few weeks ago The Dispatch pub lished Sir. Moody's denial of the existence of strained relations between himself and Mr. Sankey. At his Brooklyn residence the other day the latter put in his denial. A middle-aged man ol pleasant appearance, robust and comfortable, Mr. Sankey lacks some of the slickness of Moody, although well and neatly dressed in black. His man ner is open, and he looks you straight in the eve while talking. "We were never better friends," he said. "I spent part ot yesterday with Mr. Moody at the Park Avenue Hotel, and we see each other almost daily. His daughter is visit ing me here, and our relations with each other are as agreeable as they always were, and as we hone they always will be." On being asked what was the cause of his ceasing to lead the singing at the meetings this winter, Mr. Sankey said: "Last fall I contracted the grip, and it was not advisable to use my voice while under its influence. The beauti ul weather just now has put the grip to flight, and my voiceis now better than ever before. I have" simply been taking care of it, that's all. It is the opinion of Mr. Moody and others to whom I sang yes terday that I never sang better. But you shall judge for yourself," continued Mr. Sankey, and, taking his place at the small organ in his studv. be save utterance, in his clear, powerful voice, to the hvmn, "Fling Out the Life Line." The effect was dra matic, and the man was evidently very ranch iu earnest He had spoken truly. His fine yoice was never in better condition. "We make it a rule," he .continued, "not to talk ot our charities, as we do not like even the semblance ofbraggingabout good deeds. It is true that very large sums of money have been and are being made out of the sale of the hymns, and we are also the re cipients of large donations. As a matter of fact, I have made nothing out of such sales. The whole matter is entrusted to a commit tee of gentlemen who act as trustees in the matter and distribute the gospel hymn fund to various charities all over this country. Here is a picture of the Y. M. C. A. build ing at myoldhome at Hew Castle, Pa. The lot and building were given by me and cost 540,000. Like Mr. Moody, I do what I can lor my old home. I am not an evangelist for money. My little home here in Brook lyn is part of my patrimony, and I can safe ly say that I have made no money for my self out of evangelical work."

Halstead is a remarkable man, whose mind evades trifles and reaches out gener ously for the big thing of the earth. He is the kind of a man who never minds the size of the things he tackles. He could luridly tell President Lincoln how to con duct the war and would not hesitate to run the universe on any specified schedule. I have met the Field Marshal in a storm of battle and to say that his nostrils enjoy sniffing at the fray is to feebly express it. He is a handsome, but not a beautiful man. His face is florid and his mustache and imperial snowy white. Life in Cincin nati has given him a linguistic ferocity quite delightful in its way. His front uame is officially pronounced "Mew-raw." The lines ot Byron on bis late princely name sake may perhaps not inaptly apply to him: There, be sure, was Murat charging! There he ne'er shall charge again. THE SHOE GRIPPE Said to be Peculiar to Gentlemen Who Ride on (lie Cable Cars. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. 1 There is a shoe disease that is epidemic in St. Louis, which I call "the shoe grippe." I can go into a barber shop and glance at the soles otthe gentlemen getting shaved, and tell at once whether they ride on the cable; cars. If they do the sole of the right shoe is more or less cut and worn. This is because in jumping off the cable cars tbey land with the right loot on the slot of the other track, and as constant dripping of water wears away the stone, so does con stant lighting with tbe right foot on tbe ilot rail lyear away the shoe sole. Keep Tlicm In the Nonery. Hamburg figs should be kept in tbe nursery, where they are particularly useful in case of constipation or indigestion, as thev are liked by children, and are prompt and efficacious in action. 25 cents.

Markets opened quiet at Saturday's prices. New Ohio cheese has put iu an appearancewltbin a few days, but quality, as yet, is none the best. Choice old cheese is very scarco and very firm. The supply of green stuff Is very light, but an abundance is on tbe way. Choice "stuff, was, however, not in supply last week equal to demand. Pota toes are plenty. First-class stock is, however, firmly held at quotations. Choice tropical frnits are strong at prices quoted. Butter Creamery, Elgin, 2121Kc; Ohio do 1920c: country rolls, 1416c.

Stock of cereals in thi3 mar ket is light, with the exception of shell corn. which Is In over supply and drifting lower. Oats are firm and wheat is much more so. Tbe supply of wheat is very scarce, and tbe small amount tbat is held is very firmly held at an advance over last week's rates. Tbo recent spurt in Chicago has brought prices close up to the dollar line. Flour, too. is moving npward. Northwestern millers have advanced rates on flour about 25c per barrel since Friday last. Our obbers here, true to conservative in stincts, are still selling at prices of a week ago, althonch tbey cannot replace stock so as to sell at these rates with a profit.
