The cost in Chicaco, according to the statements of a number of drovers, was higher than that offered last Monday. Butchers were re luctant to pay the advance of 10c to 15c per cL Some even demanded concessions on last week's prices, and one or two cases were reported where the concession was granted. DroTers who did not obtain better prices than last week were no doubt losers on their deals. A Diamond .Market butcher, wbo obtains his stock at Herr's Island yards, said this mora ine: "Cattle were 15c to 20c hipber to-day than last Mondav and stronc at the advance. Some very choice beeves sold very close to 6c per pound, a price higher than anything sold here for a year or two past.

Wheat Arflve, Irrceulnr and Lower-A BI Short nso nnd Itad V-atber News) Smmh the Boom Host Pro ducts Utterly Neglected. CHICAGO A eood business was transacted in wheat to-day, and prices were somewhat ir regular. The opening was weak and prices 2K2Jc lower than closing figures of Saturday for July, but from this decline prices gradually advanced 2c then fluctuated somewhat, essed off slightly and closed about e lower than Saturday. May and June ruled 2K3c lower, recovered some, and closed about Jc lower for May. and Kc lower for June than closing fig ures Saturday. The decline and early weakness were attrib uted to the Government crop report. It was estimated that, according to this, and making a conservative allowance for the acreage plowed up, the yield of winter wheat would indicate a decrease of 45.000,000 bushels as compared with last year. While tho average condition was one point lower than last report, operators had expected a much poorer show ing. The weather news from the Northwest was decidedly bad, and tho weather map shows indications o'f colder weather. Corn was traded in to a fair extent, but the range was narrower than for several nays back, prico changes being limited to $c range. 1 he feeling prevailing w.is easy early, influ enced some by wheat, but firmed up soino later. The better tone was attributed some to a predicted cold wave and to rumors of frosts in Iowa. A prominent local operator was both buving and selling, but probablv sold more than he bought, selling one lot of 100,000 bush els of Julv at 35e. An exporting "house also bought 100.000 July on the opening at 85c The market opened under Saturday's quotations, was easy for a time, then became firmer and advanced c ruled steady and closed c better than Saturday. Oats were traded in fairly and a rather un settled teelintr prevailed. The opening was weaker and KQJi lower, but a steadier tone quickly developed and the prices advanced ,H ec yielded slightly, but closed steady at about outside figures.

Property Owners Standing in the Way of Business Expansion WILLKEITHER SELL NOR IMPROVE. The First Failure at the Oil Exchange for Many Moons, but a Email One. H0EE ACT1YITI IN LOCAL SECURITIES Pittsburg hag made marvelous strides in industrial development within the past few years, increasing her business so as to occupy seventh place in the list of Clearing Honse cities; but her possibilities sre even greater than her achievements. What she has done in the war of expansion is but a foretaste of what will be accomplished during the next de cade. While development cannot be prevented it may be hastened or retarded by the action orproperty owners. The first step necessary toward rapid expansion is to enlarge the business area and cover it with buildings suitable for commercial purposes. The scarcity of business bouses is the subject of constant complaint. They can not be had for love or money. Numerous appli cations for them from business men In other cities have been received here within the past few weeks, and In almost every case the answer was In the negative. Many citizens wonld ex tend their operations or start new enterprises it they could obtain suitable quarters. The opening up of the Point district, which, it appears, has been determined upon, will afford some relief, but not enough. There is a large and practically unoccupied field out Filth avenue, Fenn and Liberty streets, and above Grant street in the Court House district, but so deep-seated Is the idea that nothing in the mercantile line can be done on a largo scale outside the traditional, "business center" of the city by which is meant the triangular bit of ground extending from Smithfield street to the Point that extraordinary inducements would be necessary to development anything like a general movement to any other locality. This being the situation, how can the busi ness center of the city be enlarged so as to meet the demands upon it T This is a question for property owners to answer. A walk through Second and Third avenues not to mention many other thoroughfares where similar con ditions prevail will disclose scores of build ings, standing on good lots, which are practi cally valuless for business purposes. Occupied by small traders, they bring in an income scarcely worth mentioning some of them not more than 2 per cent; the average will not ex ceed 3 per cent. Worthless as they are they stand in the way of needed improvements. Offers to buy them are met by such extrava gant demands as to check negotiations at the very outset. Although at the height of their productive capacity, the owners want as much for them as if they were paying 6. 8 or 10 per cent. If the owners of these properties care any thing for the prosperity of the city they should do one of two things sell or improve. It Is no credit to them to stand in the way of progress. They can at any time get a fair price, and by lnvestine the money thus obtained in some other locality they would secure a, fair return for it larger than they can reasonably hope for from their present holdings and at the same time open up a way by which the busi ness capacity of the city, territorially consid ered, would be almost doubled. Of course the city will continue to grow, just as water will continue to run down hill, in spite of all obstacles and regardless of whether the owners of the properties in question sell or not; but they would perform a great public service, and at the same time benefit them selves by getting out of the way. If they are not able to Improve let them sell to those who are. By waiting for a boom as a result of the exertions of more enterprising citixens they may encounter a boomerang. Bualne New and Gossip. Two real estate deals, each involving about $20,000, were tied up yesterday on account of slight differences as to values between sellers and buyers, amounting in one case to (150 and in the other to $500. The certainty of the opening ot California avenue this season has caused a brisk demand for residence property along the route Wood. Harmon & Co. have sold over SOO building lots at Clifton, near Dixmont, within the past ten days. C. Bennger& Son will this week lay out over 14 acres at Emsworth in large building lots. By a somewhat singular coincidence six real estate brokers took the same train yester day morning for Wilmerding, What they did and how they did it may cause some talk in a lew days. A few days ago it was announced that a deal in East End realty, amounting to $100,000, was In a fair way to be closed up. It was as certained yesterday that $70,000 of the amount bad been paid, and that the balance would be forthcoming before the end of the week. The Fort Wayne Railroad bridge over Woods Run, which is really a part of Califor nia avenue, is progressing very fast. The abut ments are about completed and the bridge is ready to be put up. The number of mortgages recorded on Satur day was 21 The largest was for $5,000. Seven were for purchase money. Money for mortgages is held at56 percent for small amounts, and a fraction lower for large loans on gilt-edged city property. Busi ness is fair. The Western roads havo been unable to set tle their differences, and a further cut lu pas senger rates everywhere west of Chicago has been made.

A steamboat agent said yesterday that the river business was unusually heavy. As a gen eral thing there is more freight than tonnage. Movement! In Real Estate. There was sufficient inquiry for lands ana houses yesterday to show that the buyer is still abroad. Steep figures are preventing many deals. Owners are beginning to discover that they can't havo everything their own way.

OLL STRONGER. A Small Lay-Down Cnuiea an Advanee In the Mnrket. The first lay-down on the Oil Exchange for a long time occurred yesterday, which was offi cially announced as follows: "H. J. Smith has been suspended from this Exchange for non fulfillment of contract." The cause of the mishap was an attack of shorts, resulting from an attempt to bull the market on the wrong side. . As a consequence of the lay-down 78,000 bar rels, the "amount of the failure, were bought in under the rules. That trouble was brewing was known beforehand by some, and they started in to buy immediately after the open ing. This run the market up V-A cents. It sub sequently weakened, but recovered and closed steauy at next to tne nignest point of the day. The range was: Opening 85f. highest 863i, lowest 85. closing 8 Mr. Smith, whose misfortune is referred to above, was one of the most active members of theKxcbange with which ho had been connected for three or four years. He was at one time with the firm of Roseburg & Dllworth. The total of bis liabilities will not exceed $2,000 or $3,000, and possibly not so much. It Is thought by some who are in a position to know that he will settle in full. He has many friends who wonld be glad to see him reinstated on 'Cbango in full power. Field news was very tame.

Western Knllwny Kewa Gives Them u Wenpon Willi Which to Pound Wall Street Money Working Closer Some Strong Spots. New York. May 12. The failure to reorgan ize the Inter-State Railway Association on Saturday and the adjournment of the meeting without practical results created a feeling of despondency among the holders ot the West ern stocks this morning, and there was liberal selling of some of those specialities during the day. The bears hailed the adjournment as the aignalfor the end of the advancing market, and did not fall to add their influence to the selling of long stocks among the Western roads. The bullish feeling here, however, runs so high that there was no disposition to let the demoralization in that part of the country in terfere witn the well-known prosperity of the remainder ot the countrv, and other stocks Vstill showed marked strength, the Vanderbllts being tbo most prominent, with the addition or the gas stocks. The market as a consequence was active and Irregular with considerable feirerlshness throughout the day, while the im portant movements, were confined to a few IT1TTT71C3T ATT TirA.V 15 iUJiOLJAl., XU-CLJ. !" stocks, the rest of the market moving within comparatively narrow limits. i Missouri Pacific early became the weak point in the list, and the transactions In that stock ran up to larger figures than have been seen for some time, while the pressure to sell it keptit moving steadily in the downward direction, the closing price being but a shade better than the lowest. Rock Island was another sufferer, though the business done in it was small. Chi cago contributed liberal selling orders in all the granger stocks, and alsoacontinuoussiream of dispatches in regard to rate cutting and the demoralization of the railroad situation. Outside of the two stocks named, however, there was little effect produced by these tactics, and the market again demonstrated its inher ent strength to the satisfaction of the most of the bulls. The Gas stocks were strong alKtbe way out, and in the afternoon the VauderDllts all became active, with a material advance in all of them, though Canada Southern and Big Four wereinost prominent. The Coal stocks, also showed marked strength, especially Lack awanna and Delaware and Hudson, the latter making one of its sharp upward turns, and scor ing the largest advance of the day. Money began to viork closer in the afternoon, and the rate on call was bid up to 10 per cent, the close being at that figure bid. This had a deterrent effect upon purchases, and induced considerable realizing among the smaller opera tors, which gave the whole list a drooping ten dency toward delivery hour, and wiped out a large proportion of the gains of tho forenoon. The close was active and weak, and generally at fractional declines from Saturday's final figures. The only important losses were Mis souri Pacific 1 and Rock Island 1. while Delaware and Hudson rose SV and Chicago Gas . Railroad bonds wore more active than usual, the sales extending to $3,276,000, while the mar ket participated in the Heaviness of the stock market, and many issues are materially lower this evening while the general tone of the deal ings was strong. There were no pronounced movements in the list. The following table snows tne prices or active stocks on the New or t Stock Exchange yester day.

This sale which was up on short notice, was well attended, but the results were not very satisfactory to sellers, though as they bad not sold at auction before, there was nothing with which accurate comparison could be made. From agents' prices the decline was consider able, but the range seemed to be on a line with the sale of Friday last. Very nearly tho same buyers were present. To-morrow's sale will be of chief interest.
