Pointing to Still Farther Advances in the
Near Future.

OrFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH
"Wednesday. April 7. lbSO. S
pn Monday the offerings of cattle for local
trade were C8 cars, the bulk of which were
from Chicago and Omaha. As this was 32
cars below the receipts of the previous Mon
day, markets opened active at an advance
of 10c to 15c on rates of last week. But this
advance did not cover increased cost at
lources of supply, which was c per cwt.
A few loads of heavy catt le, not prime,
failed to find buyers, and were shipped
on East in first hands. All desirable
butchering stock such as our trade calls (or,
weighing from 1,100 to 1,300 lbs, was
promptly taken at 15c advance, and, ac
cording to some estimates, 20c There were
so stockers and feeders on the market. In
view ol the light run ot good butcher stock,
more were ordered from Chicago on Monday,
which arrived this morning. The total
animals since Monday were eight loads.
Tuesday's animals were six loads of Obio
stablers, wbich do not sell as well as West
ern cattle, so that the advance of Monday
has hardly been maintained. The range of
prices for the stablers offered on Tuesday,
weighing from 1,000 to 1,150 lbs, was 4 20
to $4 40.
A bunch of very good Indiana cattle was
sold on Monday at 55 per cwt; but in gen
eral top price was 54 75. There were about
1,200 head of calves on the market Tuesdav,
and prices ranged from 33c to 4c per ft,
with a few extras a shade above the last
figure.
An East Libertv stockman of lone experi
ence at these yards gave his views of the cat
tle situation and outlook this morning as
follows: "I am confident that beeves will
advance in the next few weeks even more
than they advanced the past month. There
were over 20,000 cattle on sale in Chicago on
Monday, and there was a good demand for
all offered at stronger prices than the previ
ous Monday. The fact is that in this section
and further east there is an unusually light
cupply of cattle in farmers' hands. In Lan
caster countv, which has in former vears put
over 20,000 head or cattle on the I'hiladel-
Jihia markets yearly, there are now much
ess than half that number. The same is true
of other counties ot this State where stock
raising is a large interest. In Ohio, Indiana
and Kentucky the supply is also light The
reason lor this shortage is found in low
prices of last spring. Man7 farmers who fed
cattle through the winter of 1889-90 lost
money, and hence bought sparingly of
etockers and feeders last summer.
Dependent on Ciilcico.
Eastern markets will be largely depen
dent on Chicago for their cattle the coming
season, and dealers there are making the
most of their opportunity by advancing
rates. A year ago such a run of cattle as
there was on Monday at Chicago would
have broken markets. How it does not
cause a ripple to the advancing tide. I
iook ior very active markets here at ad
vancing prices the next few mouths.
In a week or two the slop c.ttle will be
gin to come in freely, and this grade is al
ways in good demand for export purposes,
as tbey are more easily handled than those
from the wild WcL
There were 18 loads of sheep on the mar
ket Monday, and prices of the previous week
were fairly well maintained. On Tuesday
as many more loads arrived, and prices
weakened to the extent o 20c per cwt. This
(Wednesday) morning about three loads
were received, and markets were very slow
at the 20c deeline. It looked as though pens
would not be emptied without further con
cessions. Lambs did not participate in the
decline, but were slow. The quality or off-rings
was low, and this, with unfavorable
pews from New York, had a depressing in
fluence on markets. The run of hogs on
Monday was too large lorour local demands,
and pryes were off Irom rates of the previous
This morning there were but six loads on
the market, and top prices ranged from 54 30
to 54 35. At Chicago to-day top price was
$4 25. The butcher demand ior hogs grows
lighter every week.
McCnll fc Co.' Weekly Review.
The supply or cattle has been light, and
the market opened up slow at an advance ot
1020c per cwt- on all grades except heavy,

at a decline ol 15 to 25c per cwt since Mon
day. We quote: Prime clipped Ohio and

Wbent Quiet at Fractional Concessions
Drift of ifae Crop Report A Sharp
Break In Corn Oafs Slow
Pork Enay.
CHICAGO There was less doing In wheat to
day, still a fair business was transacted. There
was some rattier heavy realizing on the part of
operators. Cool, but otherwise fine weather,
and somewhat Improved crop prospects, to
gether with less favorable foreign market re
ports and increasing shipment?, had a tendency
to create weakness and stimulated the desire to
sell. Tbe opening was a trifle firmer than yes
terday's closing, but tbe market immediately
weakened, prices declining, with only slight
fluctuations. lc for July, rallied quietly to
3c again, and closed about ljc lower than
jesterday. May declined 2c and closed lc
lower, and June closed 2c lower.
Local traders were bearishly inclined. Crop
reports from Illinois, Ohio and Indiana do not
show any improvement: to the contrary, Ohio
btaterenort made the condition two points
poorer than a month ago. Tbe Michigan State
report indicates an improvement of two points
over last month, and Kansas reports an im
provement in winter wheat of two points an
average condition of 92, The Kansas report
was hiebly encouraging, and. besides noting a
gain in tbe condiiion of winter wheat, reported
an increase of SO per cent in the average of
spring wheat. Ilains In the Northwest have
been beneficial to the spring wheat crop.
Frosts in Illinois, Kansas and Iowa, It is
claimed, did not damage nheat.
Corn There was another large day's business
transacted in this market, but the recline de
veloped was much weaker, a sharp break being
recorded. The market at tbe opening mani
fested signs of a break which occurred later,
when prices declined Kc There was heavy
realizing on local account, longs sellinjr. freely,
ana this together with tbe large offerings for
tho country, weakened thetnarket,tbe demand
being scattered. Tbe break was a natural re
action from the bullish energv manifested for
some das past. The speculative market
opened at nearlv the closing prices of yester
day, was weak and declined with some reactions
lc. rallied a little, ruled steady and closed
lc lower than yesterday.
Oats were slow but steady, price changes be
ing restricted to c Crop reports were not so
favorable.
Aless Pork Trading was comparativelylight.
The feeling was easy, with frequent fluctua
tions in prices and on tbe whole averaged
lower. ODeninir sales were made at 5c decline.
and prices irregularly receded 1012Jfc and
closed quiet at medium figures.
Lard There was considerable pressure to
sell, especially for May and July, and the feel
ing was weak during the greater portion of the
day. Opening sales were made at 2K5o de
cline, and a further reduction of 6c was sub
mitted to. .Later tne leeiing was steadier, and
the market closed quiet at insido figures.
Short Rib Sides A fair trade was reported,
but the feeling was somewhat unsettled. At
the opemngshorts bought moderate quantities
which temporarily sustained prices. Later an
easier feeling prevailed, and prices receded 50
7Jc Toward the close the feeling was stead
ier, and prices rallied slightly and the market
closed quiet.

WHAT EEAL ESTATE MEN AEE DOING
Business men are keeping watch on Mr.
Schenley's movements with reference to im
provements at the Point. Said one of them
yesterday: "There is not a spot of ground
of equal area in Allegheny county that
possesses so many advantages for business
as the district known as the Point, and con
templated improvements, if carried out, will
make it tbe center ol trade for 250,000 peo
ple. That this is not wild conjecture may
be seen in the fact that it is accessible by
bridges to people on the opposite sides of
the two rivers and to a large population
down the Ohio, and by street cars to
residents in the upper wards and
suburbs. Tho opening up of this district to
business will afford opportunity for starting
many new enterprises, and the enforcement of
old ones, neither of which Is possible at present
for lack of ground and buildings. It will put
Pittsburg ou a more equal footing with rival
cities, and enable' her to freely .develop her
skill and resources. In other words it will give
her room in which to spread herself. If mere
talk of this improvement has been a stimulant
to business, what will the result boT Its com
pletion will be the beginning of a new era in
local business history."

No Improvement in Local Stock Speculation
.Gains nnd Losses.
Stock trading was very light yesterday, the
sales being only 80 shares. Orders were few
and in most cases below the market. Investors
are moving cautionsly, awaiting a settlement ot
tbe labor trouble, better weather and easier
money before assuming large responsibilities.
Tbe properties represented on 'Change have
undergone no change to effect valnes either
way.
Pleasant Valley and Bridgewater Gas con
tinned their upward movement, with very
little of either offered. Philadelphia and Char
tiers Gas were down. Wheeling was steadr.
Of tbe tractions. Central was strong. Citizens'
steady, and Pittsburg weaker. Westinghouse
Electric and Airbrake also made concessions.
Switch and Signal was a fraction better.

by OJ1 City. On light buying by Bradford there
was a ghost of a rally, and the market closed
weak at 84c a loss of 1 cent for tho day.
Pittsburg did very little, but was more of a
seller than a buyer. The rancowas: Opening

The Ivory No. 2, in the Westview field, is a

NO EEACTION.
Railroad Shares Quiet, Bat tbe Trusts
Come to the Front London Lower
on a Silver Siory Last
Prices Lowest.
NEW York, May 7. The stock market was
les3 active to-day in the regular list, but the
trusts showed increased animation, and the
total transactions in them exceeded those of
any day ibis week. The market was not strong
at any time of the day. but rallied promptly
from .an early depression, though the final
changes are generally in the direction of lower
figures. The London market was lower, an
effect of the story cabled from this country
last evening that discussion of tbe silver bill
had been postponed for three weeks, and the
cables this morning brought a liberal comple
ment of sellingorders, though tbe latter are
open to suspicion of having their origin on this
side of the water.
The traders who have been looking for a re
action of some magnitude from day to day
added their mite to the selling orders in those
of catching stop orders, many ot which were
known to be in the market and the device met
with some success on some directions. The
early pressure was specially severe, as might be
expected in tbe London favorites and the stocks
of the warring Western roads, no one seeming
ly disposed to support the latter when attacked.
The concessions, however, amounted to frac
tions only after the ofiening declines, which
went up ji per cent. The offerings were met
by a steady demand from commission houses,
which soon had tbe r.Tect of rallying the gen
eral list and Chicago Gas, Oregon Transconti
nental and the trusts became especially con
spicuous for their resistance to pressure
brongbt to bear.
Later in the day the market became quiet
and dull, but in the afternoon buying was re
sumed in a few stocks, which imparted a strong
tone tome rest 01 me list, ana sugar in the
last hour spurted up 4 per cent, followed by
Wheeling and Lake Erie common, which
reached the Highest figures for a week past,
and Kansas and Texas new preferred stock and
Northern Pacific were also prominent for both
activitv and strength In the afternoon, but
Union Pacific was specially weak, showing a
material ueclino for the day, the theory being
that a prominent house on the street has closed
out a large line In it. Tbe last rally did not
continue until the close, however, and a heavy
tone prevailed with prices only changed from
those of last evening, but lower in most all of
tbe active shares. Sugar Refineries, Atchison,
Chicago Gas, Union Pacific and St. Paul were
the active stocks. Sugar shows a gain of 2J4J per
cent, but Union Pacific is down 2Je and these
are the only stocks showing any material
change for the day. The railroad bona market
was acaic moderately active to-day, the trading
being $2,162,000 with Atchison incomes, Texas
Pacific incomes and the St Louis, Arkansas
and Texas bonds tho active features. There
was a firm deal throughout the day. but In
sympathy with the share list some issues de
veloped adrooDinirtendener and a few losses
resulted. Amone those wbich are hiirhest to
night: Bnrlington, Cedar Itapid and Northern
firsts, 2 to 102: Burlington and Northern fives.
1 to 105; Northwestern extension 4s, 2H to
100; Eait Tennessee 5s, 2 to 92K; interna
tional second ctfs., 2pto 81K- Government
bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds
have been neglected.
The Post says: The ldwer prices for stocks
in London this morning, and tbe consequent
lower prices here, was attributed in the street
to cables from bere last night saying that the
silver bill In Congress was killed. Kut a tem
porary reaction in the stock market was due
anyhow, and would probably have come toiay
or to-morrow if there had been no new doubts
about silver legislation. The rise m stoeyis was
not caused by tbe prospects of silver legislation
at all. This rise is tbe result of a series of favor
able developments and events in tbe last year, of
which flomo of the most noticeable are tbe ex
tra dividends on Lake Shore. New York Cen
tral and Western Union: the restoration of 7
per cent dividends on St Paul preferred; the
prospect that at the end of this year
tbe Atchison would begin tbe pay
ment of interest on its income bonds,
and finally a week ago the extra dividend on
Pennsylvania Railroad stock. These are appa
rently only the first results of a large increase
of general business and of continued good rail
road earnings in all parts of tbe country. Tbe
advance in prices caused by these circum
stances was delayed by tbe stringency of the
money markets in tbe first quarter of tbe year.
But capitalists had been steauily buying stocks
and bonds, without any reference to silver leg
islation, until in March there was a smaller sup
ply of securities afloat in tbe market than at
any previous time for two.yoars,and almost any
new event favorable to speculation would have
started the rise. Talk of silver legislation, to
gether with closing of tbe bucket shops, did
start it, but it was only because tbe market had
been prepared for It by other and more potent
conditions.

Sixty-Seven Per Cent Mare on Dock This
Yenr Than Lnsr.
Sellers and consumers of Lake Superior iron
ore will be interested In learning that tbe
amount (gross tons) on dock at Lake Erie ports
t the opening of navigation. May 1, 1690, was
greater than that one year ago by 67 per cent:
but large as the increase appears It represents
only 16 per cent of the total receipts of 1SS9, as
against 12 per cent of tbe receipts of 1883 on
a ock at the opening of navigat'on last year.
From official sources the Jron Trade Heview
Jiresents tbe following figures in detail, show
ng the amount on dock at Lake Erie ports on
tbe dates named:

The lotal amount of Iron ore brought down
from Lake Superior last year was the largest
in the history of that recion 5,856.344 gross
tons and the amount left on docks, at the
close ot navigation last December, was tbe
largest reported in the precedingslx years. As
only 2J4 per cent of ibesumlus ofl8S9on dock

Wednesday, ilay 7. 1S90. J
Country Produce Jobbing Prlcen.
The raw, chilly weather of the past day or
two has had a depressing effect on trade. Mar
kets have been overstocked with strawberries
for a day or two past, and a fair article was
sold by commission men tolay as low as 10c per
box, and the best were slow at 15c per box.
Tbere Is also an overdose of potatoes on the
market, mostly low grade stock, for wbich
prices are only nominal. New cheese is coming
in more freely, and quality shows some im
provement over first arrivals. Choice old cbeeso
is scarce and firm. Creamery butter is firmly
held at pld rates. Eggs are quiet, owing to
large receipts of seconds. Strictly fresh, near
by stock, however, readily brings outside prices.

Dry hemlock and cherry are scarce and for
both markets are very firm. It is next to im
possible to meet the demand for cherry, which
has become of late very popular for inside
finish. Walnut Is also scarce. Quartered oak
is In fair supply, bnt firm. Lumber trade is
active, and will be much more so once labor
troubles are satisfactorily adjusted. A pros
perous season is before us if contractors and
carpenters can agree. Tbere is too much at

Tho Bailer Skating Craze Made III Devotee
Grncefnl.
From the New York Mall and Express.
"The roller skating rinks were condemned
on all sides," said a dealer in sporting goods
yesterday, "but they were mighty useful
in the cultivation of a graceful car
riage. The movement in ice skating
is entirely different from that
of roller skating. In tbe former
case the skates must adopt a side movement
or take a tumble. On rollers there is a tum
ble when the movement is not straight for
ward, as in walking. Go on any of oar
crowded thoroughfares and notice the pe
culiar motion ot the majority of the pedes
trians. Yon will see that there is a decided
tendency toward a side motion.
"How, a person who practices on roller
skates is compelled to send his feet straight
forward and at tbe same time assume an
erect carriage. Asa natural result of this
practice, the skater carries this straight for
ward movemet to the street or drawing room
when off the rollers. This soldierly acquire
ment is desirable for everybody who cares to
hoid his own with the graceful people of the
sphere in which he moves. For that reason
alone I claim the skating rink ws a great
institution. Those who now wish to possess
a graceful motion in public have to avail
themselves of tbe resources of a military
school, or a dancing academy, in the absence
of theskating rink, wbich was both in
structive and pleasing at the same time."

Charming Features of Our Postofllce System
In Michigan.
From tbe Detroit Free Press. I
The young postmaster of an eastern vil
lage was hard at work in his office when
a gentle tap was heard upon the door and
in stepped a blushing maiden of 16,
with a money order which she
desired cashed. She handed it,
with a bashful smile, to the official, who,
after closely examining it, gave her the
money it called for. At the same time he
asked her if she had read what was written
on the margin ot the order.
"No, I have not," she replied, "for I can
not make it out. "Will you please read it
ior me?"
The young postmaster read as follows: "I
send you $3 and a dozen kisses."
Glancing at tbe hashfnl girl, he said.
"Now, I have paid vou the money and I
suppose you want the kisses."
"Yes," she said, "If he has lent me any
kisses I want them, too."
It is hardly necessary to say that the bal
ance of the order was promptly paid, and in
a scientific manner.
On reaching home, the delighted maiden
remarket) to her mother:
"Mother, this pnstoffice system of ours is
a great thing, developing more and more
every year, and each new feature seems to
bethe'besL. Jimmy sent me a dozen kisses
along with the moiev order, and the post
master gave me 20. It beats the special de
livery system all hollow."
AH IMPORTANT DIGTSI01T.
Hood, of Lowell, Wins a Case la the
Supreme Court.
Washington, D. C, May 7. A trade
mark case of great importance has been
tried in the Supreme Court of this district,
and a decree has now been entered by Judge
Coxe in favor of C I. Hood & Co., of
Lowell, Mass., against Frank L. Hood, of
NVashington, restraining the Washington
Hood from giving the name of "Hood's
Sarsaparilla" to any compound prepared by
him. This decision will be considered a
great victory by Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co.,
as it establishes their right to the use of
"Hood's" as a name lor sarsaparilla, as
against the world and all the rest of the
Hoods.
The case was considered of so much im
portance that C. I. Hood came from Lowell
to attend the hearings, with his counsel,
George L. Huntress, of Boston, who, with
ex-Judge Shellabarger, conducted the trial
for the plaintiff.
Dofttlnn'a 8enlenci Deferred.
George "W. Boslian, of Union county, was
placed on trial yesterday in the United

a termination in an agreement by all parties
on a verdict of guilty with the understand
ing that sentence would be indefinitely sus
pended. Source oflhe Seine.
At Verrey, 171.miles from Paris, there is

From under this figure issues a streamlet of

THE PATHEB STJEPBISETJ.
Why an Eminent Lnvrver Wanted to Pinlsa
Bis etas.
NewTorkBtar.1
Senator Coggeshall has received a letter
from his son "Walter, who has "located"
away out "West as a lawyer, and is in
excellent practice. It was "Walter who,
after some years of study in his
father's law office and alter admission
to the bar, came like a loving son to
his father, and wanted some instructions
about his first case. It related to fence
lines, boundaries and all those mnltilarious
things that pertain to rural law courts.
Walter was somewhat at sea about the law
in the case, and he wanted to look into hif
father's books.
"Nevermind the books," said the Sena
tor. "I have a case exactly similar, only I
am on the other side. If I were on your
side I would show this and that," etc., and
he enlightened Walter immensely. "When
the case came up. soon after,
"Walter saw his father sitting with
counsel on the other side, and for that mat
ter the Senator soon after also saw, with a
great deal more astonishment, "Walter on
the opposite side.
'If Your Honor please," said "Walter,
"this case is referable to the statutes of so
and so, and on that I desire to make my
plea. 1 am advised by very learned and
reverend counsel, I may say revered coun
sel, that I am," etc., etc., and while speak
ing he looked at bis lather. Then he made
his father's fireside argument on the son's
side.
That father was an astonished man, but
he was equal to the occasion. He rose, and
in an impressive voice said:
"It Your Honor please, I would like thii
case postponed because of a very painful
family duty I am called upon to perform."
"Certainly," said the Judge, "if counsel
desires it" (the Judge plainly thought there
was to be a funeral); "the case is postponed
till Monday next," and then wiping his
spectacles he said in a low tone to the Sena
tor: "What is this painful duty?"
"Spanking," replied the Senator. Harry,
however, is s ire out "West, and his father'
heart now aches to see him, even if he steal
his opinions.
GORMAN'S LN'mt-VUiW.
It W Untrue, bnt Contained Nothing Ho
Coald Deny.
Senator Gorman, of Maryland, shuns
newspiper men. He tells a story that the
only time a lengthy interview with him
was ever published was in a New York
paper during the first Cleveland campaign,
when he was Chairman of the Demo
cratic National Executive Committee. The
basis of the interview, which occupied a
column or more, was that he and the reporter
touched hats to each otber and exchanged
the compliments of the day as they passed
each other on headquarter steps.
"Yet the interview was so sEillfully writ
ten," said Senator Gorman, in talking
about it afterward, "that while there wasn't
a thing in it that I wonld have said to a
reporter for publication, there was not a
thing in it th3t I could go into print and
deny, and so I had to just grin and bear
it."

Mr. and Mrs. Alonzo D. Edwards, of Lake
county. 111., were found in their room at

institution with her. Tbe position of the
bodies showed that it was the wi.e turned
on the.'gas perhaps through ignorance, but
probably as a crazy freak.
