"Wetbers sold at a ranee of $4 SO to $5 50. and j earlings from 85 50 to 58 50. There were no hogs on the market. The situation showed some improvement over last Monday. Demand was good for all offered, and pens were well cleaned out at noon. At East Liberty there were 100 loads of cat Tie on the market this morning, against 60 loads lat week and 55 the week before. Our local needs are about 75 loads per week, and when receipts go up to 100 loads markets aro sure to drag. The past two Mondays' demand has been active at advancing prices, owing to light receipts. This week we are having the famine which follows the feast. The excess of supply being so much beyond the needs of our market, buyers made the most of their op portunity and calmly waited for the holder to come to them. Fully two-thtrds of the offerings to-day were common and low-grade stock, and on this grade there was a decline of 25c per cwt. Good, fat butcher beeves, weighing from 1,200 to I.4UU as., sutler d lt from the decline; but all cattle were off a least 15c from prices of last Monday. There were no strictly prime cattle offered. The top price of the best bu her cattle offered was 84 75 to 84 80 cwt. At 9 o'clock this morning it looked as though holders would be lorced to still lower prices, as very little bad been sold at that time. There ere very few country cattle on the market. Nearly all offered were from Chicago and tar Western points. Sheep and lambs were steady at closing prices of last week. There were about 14 loads on the market and all found ready sale, with 5c as the top price of wethers and yearlings tjc. The outside price for spring lambs w as Sc ) ft.

The selling wasbcavy, some parties evidently going short, and some long wheat was closed out The local crowd evidently sold too freely, and, when the decline was checked, and the market turned up. early short sellers wero anxious to cover. There was nothing really but the speculative movementto have caused the change in prices. Bad crop news continued to be received from the winter wheat districts, the tenor being about the same as noted for several dajs past.

NEARLY $100,000 INVOLVED. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad May Soon Double its Common Stock. THE MEWS AND GOSSIP OP TflE TOWN Three months ago one of the members of a prominent banking and real estate firm weut to a Fourth avenue broker or his ad vice in regard to paying $2,G00 a foot front for two business properties on Smitbfield street. He was advised to make the pur chase. The deal was closed about 11 o'clock yesterday. The gentleman was Mr. A. W. Mellon, and the property in question comprises Kos. 504 and COO Smlthficld street, having a total frontage of 38 feet, by a depth of 60 feet to the Splane property in the rear, with two four-story brick buildings, one of which bas recently undergone extensive repairs. The price, sioOO a foot front as stated above, or 895.000 in the aggregate, is considered reasona ble for thai locality and contiguity to one of tho best corners in the city. Many readers of The Dispatch will romcm ber Lawyer Penny, who died 10 or 12 years ago. He left considerable realty of which tho properties just acquired by Mr. Mellon consti tuted a part i Baltimore nnd Ohio (Stock. The New York Herald of yesterday says: "A private dispatch from Baltimore received in this city doclares positively that the Executive Committee of the Baltimore and Ohio Directors have decided to issuo $15,000,000 of now common stock to bo used In retiring the floating dobt of the company and for tho construction of hotter terminal facilities at Statcn Island, Philadel phia, Washington, Pittsburg and Chicago, and for double tracking a portion of the division west of tho Ohio. Tho dispatch further de clares: "It Is reported that the hesitation of some of the Garrett party to consent to the increase of the stock has been tho delay in earlier present ing this plan. It Is now believed that they ap prove of it Efforts have been recently made to form a syndicate to purchase a portion of this proposed new Issue. These efforts are doubtless the basis of all tho recent rumors In relation to the sale of the control of the prop erty and the organization of a syndicate to buy same. The issue of stock Is really forced upon the Baltimore and Ohio by the Pennsylvania and other trunk lines, providlngfor vast expen ditures on their systems, which necessitates the Baltimore and Ohio to expend large sums to compete with them on equal terms, "This will double tho common stock of tho company, and the f nturo control ot the prop erty must depend on the interests that secure most of the new issue. Of course, if the new stock were evenly divided among those who bold the old the balance of power would not bo changed, but there seem to bo difficulties in the way of the city of Baltimore or the State of Maryland or the Johns Hopkins University making further investment in the road, which do not apply to other interests." Business Newi nnd Gossip, A leading harness-maker said yesterday: "I have all I can do to turn out a sufficiency of stuff to meet orders, and some of my hands are working overtime to enable me to catch up." The fact that Allegheny county has placed a large 3 per cent loan at par and interest shows how its credit is regarded by financiers. It never stood higher. Nearly all the Pittsburg banks make daily discounts. A few set apart Monday and Thurs day, and a few Tuesday and Friday for that business. The Westinghouse Airbrake Company bas the largest capital of any of the local corpora tions 85,000,000. The Chartiers Qas Company comes next with 84,000,000. May 23, 1872, oil was quoted at Oil City at 83 95. The heaviest mortgage reported yesterday was for 810.00a Twenty-four others ranged from 88.000 to $300. Citizens of Edgewood are anxious for rapid transit The first company to reach the bor ough will get the persimmon. The supply of new cheese bas not been up to demand for the past few weeks. One of tho leading dealers said yesterday that he could have easily doubled his trade in this line last week if be bad had the goods. Whitney & Stephenson were wired from Wall street yesterday: Commission people all agree that tbe sentiment of the street and the public is so decidedly bullish that It is impossible that there will be very much of a reaction. With the imnrovement in the condition of tbe bank reserves, they Iqok for speculation to be come more active and prices correspondingly niguer. Toward the close of the oil market yesterday a broker remarked: "I have made less than 850 on brokerage this month, and it has beea the best one this year. This shows bow dull busi ness Is."

The oil market opened steady yesterday at 05, and on local bidding, with no sales, soon ad vanced K- It then gradually broke to 93, due to selling by Oil City and Bradford. There was a little better feeling in the last few minutes which prompted a slight rally to 93, which was the final quotation. Trading was light The shorts wore willing, but they couldn't get the stuff. Opening, 95; highest, 95W; lowest, 93?i; closing. 93. Considerable interest was felt yesterday evening In the result of tbe Kanawha Oil Company's venture southeast of O'Brien No. 1, In the Chartiers field. It was about due, and will have a great influence in changing or maintaining the present drift of operations. The new line, or suppposed line of the belt, leaves the Kanawha away off, while It is di rectly on tbe old line. The Bowman, on the Scbeidy farm, at West View, was drilled In Saturday.

It looks at present as though Lawrence county was to be thor oughly tested for oil. The Standard Oil Com pany has leased nearly 2,000 acres of land near Neshannock Falls, and it is said they will test the land as soon as possible. The lumber is already being cut for a derrick on the Hamil ton farm, two miles northwest of New Wil mington. A representative of an oil firm bas already leased seven farms In Washington and Wilmington townships. It was at first thought he was a representative of the Standard, and as a consequence the farmers were slow in making leases with him. A Pittsburg party has secured a number of leases near Edinburg, seven miles from here, and a Franklin man is now drllllngon a farm in Slippery Rock township. Features of tbe Oil Market.

TUESDAY, MAT 27, BAILR0AD EARNINGS Tbe Principal Bullish Factor In Stock Trndlne-A Drlvo at tbe Trust Knocks Sngnr nnd Whisky Off Their Feet. New Yobk, May 26. As the recent net earnings of the railroads are made public, the outlook is better, as they in many cases make a materially better showing than tbe gross. Saturday and to-day being bank holidays in London the stock market received no support from that quarter, and to-day there was a dis position on the part of many oporators to await for London. Friday here is also a holiday, and the week being so broken up, it Is probable that no great activity maybe looked for in Wall street until tho beginning of next week. The feeling this morning, however, was gen erally bullish, and tbe general list as a rule showed small fractional Improvement over Saturday's final prices.- Chicago was a buyer of tho Grangers and Cbicago Gas, and the commission people, wbile not so liberally sup plied with orders as a few weeks ago, were bull- isu ana so aaviseu purouases. a no movements in tho list under the circumstances were small and unimportant as a rule, and only in the fow stocks in which opportunity was given for spe cial demonstration were activity or wide fluc tuations. In the regular list St Paul was active, and whllo traded In over a range of only 1 por cent, displayed a firm tront with the rest of the list. Atchison, although tbe Issue ot a large amount of new stock is not looked upon with favor, held Its own, very well, though dropping rather more than tho remainder. A special drivo was made at Cleveland, Cin cinnati, Chicago and St Louis In the forenoon, with tbe result of knocking off its price nearly 2 per cent, but a partial recovery followed, and only a slight effect was produced upon tbe gen eral list. Cbicago Gas and Oregon Transcon tinental were tho strong stocks, and tho former retained most of Its advance at the close. The features of the day, however, were the trusts, and especially sugar and distillers'. Tho former was let off rapidly in tho early dealings, ostensi bly with tbe object of getting rid of some of a too numerous following, nnd within ten min utes it had fallen from 89 to S5V. The stock rallied to 8S, but closed at kCya. Distillers' was lifted on tho report of its having obtained a practical monopoly, but a largo distillery was to-day reported not to bavo come Into tho trust and the price was rattled off from 48 to 45, though it rallied to 47, and closed at 46K. Tho general market sbowod the effects of realizations toward tbo closo, and closod quiet and heavy at insignificant changes from tho opening figures. Ihe list is irregularly and only slightly changed, but, while Cbicago Gas Is up 1, sugar Is down Delaware and Hud son IJ4 and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis 1 per cent Railroad bonds were quiet but displayed again a firm tone, and whlfe tho final changes aro generally slight the majority are advances. The sales were $1,294,000, with tho Atchison in comes leading. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chi cago and St Louis conuls.Obio and Mississippi consuls. Lake Shore firsts, Alton and Terro Haute dividends and Ohio, Indiana and West ern firsts were especially strong. Government bonds have been dull and steady. x State bonds havo been dull and without fea ture. The J'ost says: The news of tho forenoon, while ot a mixed character, was on the wbolo favorable to higher prices for stocks. Tho good bank statement of Saturday increased the ullisb feeling among traders, and the fact that prices have advanced for the last two months bas not altered their expectations of still high er prices. Tbe situation among the Western roads continues unsettled, with no encourag ing feature in tbe immediate outlook, but the earnings of these roads show large gains over last year, which indicates considerable exag geration as to tbe actual troubles. A no reduction in passenger rates affects only a small part of the total business, and is partly compensated for by tho heavier volume of travel. The coal trade has improved to the ex tent that warrants the starting up of several heretofore idle collieries. The net result for the day was irregular changes, with the majority of stocks higher than at tbe close Saturday. The trust stocks fluctuated widely throughout the day and closed lower.

Tho Predicted Big Flood Fails to Make Connection. The old ladies of Pittsburg have had their trouble for nothing. The big flood, prophesied by all tbe morning and evening papers, with the single exception of The Dispatch, did not become an accomplished fact. In fact, the waters never rose beyond 22 feet and The Dispatch river renorter is highly complacent anent the result of his prediction. After all, tho experienced riverman knows more about floods and summer rises tban tho most ac complished superintendent of signals. It Is practice versus.the theory over again. Bonis nnd Bonlmen.

Strawberries are coming In freely, but in poor shape, a fact charged up by commission men to unfavorable weather. Prices have declined and 15c per quart is tbe outside figure to-day. Home-grown berries will be two weeks behind avorage time of arrival on account of rainy, cold weather. Volume of trade in tho lino of dairy products laBt week was the largest of the season. Demand for new cheese was far In ex cess or supply. The same was tfuo of fresh near-by eggs. Many of our dealers found It necessary to draw on their stock of cold storage eggs to supply customers, a thing heretofore unknown this early In tbo season. Country roll butter is bard to sell at any price. Now that grass is at its best, and tbe yield Is extra large, owing to continuous rains, butter is un usually abundant Country rolls bavo not been so low for many years. Quality is now at its best and prices are at their lowest Tbo stock ot Swiss style of cheese is very low and demand is so active that an advance is probable before tbo week is out Tbe general produce trade was reported by dealers quiet to-day, as it uni formly is on Monday.
