( At Herr'a Island the run of cattle was scarcely up to that of last Monday. Quality of offerings was good, average demand was active and markets were a shade firmer than they were a week ago. Prices, however, "were practically the same, and were as fol lows: Prime heavy Western beeves, ?5 40 5 CO; medium weights, 54 7S5 15; prime light weights and butchers' selections weighing 900 to 1,100 lbs, $4 354 75; common to fair, thin and rough steers,?3 25 4 25. Country stock was in light supply and for good and sufficient reasons, namely, that there is no money in bringing stock to market at present prices. Fresh cows were held at about the old range and sales were reported at $2535 per head. D. O. Pisor sold two choice milkers at $32 50 each. Calves were active and higher with ic to 6c per poind as the range. Bulls and dry cows sold at Sg3c per ponnd. Receipts From Chicago, L Zeicler. 127 head: L. Gcrson, 120: A. Fromm, 65; L.

McCrearyfc Sergeant sold some choice 115-lb yearlings at fS 25 and good 175-lb sheep at 15 53. Good sheep wore scarce. Tbongb one or two lots brought S5 75, the ceneral ranee or prices was H 50 to So SO. Sprlne lambs were In good demand, at 6c tnSc per pound. Re ceipts, from Cbicago: LZeiglcr, 100 head.

Total, 77S: last week. 650; previous week, 691. The offerings of hogs Mere unusually light. vThe season Is now practically over tor pork on butchers' stalls. All offered found ready gale at a ranee of SI 10 to SI 45 forOhios, of which tbe supply mainly consisted; and $4 25 to H 80 for Pennsylvania. Receipts, from Ohio: .Needy & Smith, 135 head; Sanford & liangdon, S;C. "Volbrecht. 26. From Pennslvama: J. Behler. 12. Total, 1S7; last week, 619; previous week, 55L Wood' Run nnd Enpt l.Ibeny. The offerings of cattle were 229 head, of which 172 were from Chicago and the balance from St. Louis. Markets were slow, but all were sold at ,c to 5Jc for Chicago cattle and 4Jc to S4 35 for St. Louis. Best was 15c above those offered last week, and it was found im possible to advance prices here, so that mar gins ofprofit were more than wiped out There were 527 sheep and lambs on tbe market, and following was tbe ranee of prices: Sheep. 5c to EJfc; yearling lambs, 5c to 03c. Hogs were in light supply, there being but SS head offered. All were retailed at Si 35. There were 9S loads of cattle on the market acamst about tbe same number last Monday. A laree proportion of tbe receipts were fair to pood butcher stock weighinc from 1,000 to 1,100 as. There were very few heavy bcevei on the market, and no primes in car load lots. Tbe sup plies were from Chicago, St. Louis and Omaha. Country cattle were conspicuously absent from the market, as were prime heavy beeves. Re ceipts being fully 20 loads above tbe wants of our local trade, the situation was entirely in the buyer's favor. Buyers were scarce at the open ing of the market. No l Borers Enough. A stockman said that there were not buyers enough at the opening to take over a dozen loads out of 98 loads on sale. The result was that markets opened very slow at a decline of 10 to 15c from prices of last Monday. Cost at Chicago was fully 10c higher than lat week, so that tbe drover who comes out even is very lucky. There is little doubt that shippers will lose money on this week's transactions. With bicber prices at Chicago and lower prices here, with an excess of stock over the warns or onr local trade, drovers cannot fail to be losers in their live stock operations this week. Last neek tbere was little orno profit, and now there is less than none Tbere were 17 car loads of sheep and lambs on the market, and at the opening buyers and sellers were far apart in their views of values. For choice stock last week's prices were asked, but it is not prooaL.e they were obtained. Common and low grades v ere verv slow at a decline from last week's prices. Yearlings and spring lambs show a downward tendency. There were 24 car loads of hogs on the mar ket, and prices were 5c stronger than closing rates of Saturday.

CHICAGO A good business was transacted In wheat to-day and the feeling was nnsettled. Fine weather tor the growing crop and a very small increase in the visible supply Influenced an easier feeling early, and there was more de sire to realize. A prominent operator credited wih being a buyer Saturday was reported to have sold freely shortly after the opening. The opening was about lc lower for July and K?ic lower for the more deferred futures, ral lied Kc tor July and then started down, price for July declining lc and the deferred futures IJi'S'lXc. rcovered ana closed about Ko lower for July. JJc higher for August and JJc higher for September than closing figures Saturday. Crop reports from tho winter wheat district continue to come tu bad. Corn was moderately active, within a narrow range, and the feeling was rather steady. There was a very good demand for June, a good many orders beme on tha market tor this month, and considerable changing was done in order to fill the same. The market opened tbe same to a trifle under the closing Saturday, was firm and sold up KKc, eased off and closed about the same as Saturday. Oats were fairly active and steadier, especially for the more deferred deliveries. The strength was due mainly to the light deliveries on June contracts. Trading In pork was fairly active and the feeling was unsettled. Opening sales were made at about the closing figures of Saturday, but later transactions were mads at 67c lower range. Toward tbe close the market settled back 1012c, closing quiet. Afair business was done In lard, buta further decline was established. Price on the whole range declined 5Q7c. closing tame.

The Bad Work of Land Speculators in Southern California. A CRAZE THAT HURT HAKY PEOPLE Speculative Commodities Ply Loir Under Conservative Guidance. THE NEWS AKD GOSSIP OP THE TOWN Charles Lowther, who resides in Los Angeles, CaJ., but who formerly called Pitts burg his home, is visiting friends in the East End. A short time before he started East Mr. Lowther made an extended journey through the southern part of California to look into real estate and other matters. He was there during the boom of two or Ahree years ago, when property values went up like a rocket to come down like a stick. The sad effects of the collapse, he says, are to be seen on every hand. Improvements are in a very backward state. The craze extended to all classes of people, and all were financially crippled. Many were ruined. He says it will take years for the people to fully re cover from the disaster. All this mischief was wrought by a few speculators, who drained the conn try of ready cash and then disappeared, Iraving their victims to sink or swimas the case might be. It is fortunate for Pittsburg that she possess es enough Scoteb-Irish hard sense to enable her to steer clear of all kinds of delusions and maintain valnes on a solid basis. It is a sub ject of common remark among financiers that there Is less speculation here than in any other city in tbe country. Solid business alone re ceives recognition. So long as this course shall be pursued there need be no fear of a reaction In any department of business, save such as is due to the exigencies of trade and to the vary ing demands of the seasons. The man who builds a mill or factory here has reasonable as surance of a market for his products, and the worklngman who buys a lot and puts a bouse on it may rest satisfied that It will be worth more a year hence than It cost him. Values are hardening, but not out of proportion to the growth of the city in population and business. There Is not even the ghost of a boom in this community. Business News nnd Gossip. Joseph Home t Co. are adding an additional story to the building occnpled by their whole sale dry goods stores. There Is talk of some important Improve ments on Water street. This should be one of the handsomest business thoroughfares of tbe city. None of tbe requisites are wanting ex cept pUBb. The prospect Is good for an immense crop of blackberries. They were scarce and of in ferior quality last year. Cable, electric and steam cars rapid and cheap transit have so minimised distances as to make it almost as convenient for people with regular employment to live in the suburbs as In the city. This accounts for the great de mand for building lots In the ontlying districts, and for the rapid growth of the city in all direc tions. The county buildings ara still unoccupied, and bid fair to remain so for some time. They are for rent, but nobody seems to want them.- The number of mortgages placed on record on Saturday was 34, of which the largest was for $10,000, Eight were for purchase money. The company recently formed bySouthslde capitalists to open up territory and sell lots exclusively for high class dwellings Is said to be meeting with good success. The existence of such a want is an indication of progress in the trans-Monongagela district. No. 516 Wood street is receiving a new front. The number of business houses that are being improved is surprising. It is evidence of thrift. John D.Bailey will offer at auction at tbe Chamber of Commerce, at 11 A. JL to-morrow, 200 shares Allegheny Suspension Bridge, 20 shares 'intra national Bank of Pittsburg and 150 shares Hazelwood Oil. The Pennsylvania Railroad reports that tbe quantity of coal and coke originating on and carried over its lines east of Pittburg and Erie for the week ending May 24, was 319,266 tons, of which 219,221 tons were coal and 100,045 tons coke. Railroad earnings Ohio river, third week of May, increase $2,105; Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, increase month of April, $237,546. Henry Clews t Co. say: "The pending legis lation respecting silver has little effect on the market for the time being." Movement! In Real Estate. A number of investors and real estate brokers are out of tbe city temporarily, which was one reason for the lack of vim in tbe market. Yes terday the weather was too hot to make long jaunts to look at properties. Sales reported were: C. H. Love sold for John C Glenn to Christ ian Richmond a lot 52x149. on Willard avenue, Wilklnsburg, with a two-story brick bouse, for S3, 650 cash. Reed B.

HOME SEdraiHES. A Quiet Market With No Radical Changes la Quotations. Tbe effects of almost two holidays were quite apparent when the stock brokers met on 'Change yesterday to resume business. There were very few bnying orders, and nobody ap peared to be very sorry for It. The crowd was not In a trading humor. 'Westinghonso Electric took a turn for the better, which was a surprise to many who had been talking of still lower figures. It sold at 2&J against S8 on Saturday. Tbe delayed dividend and Pullman combination were fruit ful subjects of disenssion, but nothing new was drawn out. The drift of opinion seemed to be that the dividend for the quarter ending with April will not enrich tbe stockholders. Philadelphia Gas was a fraction stronger, Bridgewater and Wheeling about steady, and Chartiers weaker, though it flopped to tbe active list, which was in Its favor. Central and Citizens' Traction showed no material change, but Pittsburg lost ground. Pleasant Valley was steady.

SLUMPED AKD BAIUED. A Dull nnd Fcntnrelesi Oil Market Notes From the Field. There was a total absence of expression In the oil market yesterday, though there have been times when the feeling was at a lower ebb and trading of smaller volume. The market slumped soon after the opening on selling by Oil City, and later on rallied on local buying, but tbe range was less than a cent. Pittsburg was the highest point. At one time when the price here was 90o it was 89Jc in Oil City. The principal fluctuations were: Opening, 90c; highest, 90Jc; lowest and closing. 89c Saturday's clearances were 1,017,000 barrels. According to the monthly report of opera tions in tbe field production for May was con siderably In excess of that of April. During May the total number of new wells completed was 534, of which 83 were dry holes. The ag gregate new production was 8,507 barrels per day. Tbe most productive field was that of Allegheny county, where several good wells were drilled in. Rider's well, at Chartiers, is pumping 125 bar rels a day. Tbe Robinson No. 2 on tbe Beck farm at Chartiers. reached the first pay streak on Saturday, and looks like a good well. They are now drilling into tbe second pay sand. Wibber, Eachel & Company are drilling In their well on the Jlay lot at Chartiers. Vandegrift, Still Company's McKeonn No. 2 Is in the first pay sand and doing 100 barrels. It will be drilled deeper. A big gusher is expected, as It is in good range with tho Young farm phe nomenon, which is still producing 700 barrels a day. Tbe Robella Company's well, on the Straw farm, is down to the third sand and seems to be a failure. Tbere is a good showing of gas, though. Tbe McKees' Rocks and Bear Creek Oil Companies' wells at Chartiers continue each to put 250 barrels in the tank every day. The Kanawha Company's well has settled down to 30 barrels a day. The Barnswell ven ture, at Wildwood, expected to reach the oil sand yesterday evening. Features of the Oil Market. Corrected dally by John M.

AGGRESSIVE BEARS. Aided by Tight Sloney, They DInnago to Keep Walt Street In a Feverish Con dltlon Material Losses la Dlonv of Ibe Ftock. New York, June 2. The stock market to day, when left to itself, was quiet with a steady to firm tone, but the bears were again very ag gressive, and aided by tbe temporary scarcity of money incident to tbe first of the month and tbe transfer of large sums of money through certain large financial operations, they were enabled after the first hour of business to keep tbe market in a feverish and weak state, and bring abont material losses in many stocks. The Trusts were responsible for most of tbe feeling of insecurity among holders of railroad stocks, and Chicago Gas led off with a drop of 5Ji per cent, from 53 to 47 on the news that a receiver .wonld be appointed to-day. A rally of about 3 per cent followed the an nouncement of the appointment, tbe appointee being regarded as favorable to the Trust. The early London figures were lower than our closing of Saturday, but private cables re ported that tbe London market bad been rigged from this side, and tbe succeeding pur chases for foreign account with the strength developed In the early dealings gave color to the assertion. The pressure upon tbe trusts was instituted before the expiration of the first half hour, however, and sugar was sold down on the rumor that the Court of Appeals wonld soon band down an adverse decision, and al though there was and could be no verification of the story the trust declined almost steadily during tbe day. In the regular list the bears naid Dartlcnlar attention to Missouri Pacific, Atchison and Union Pacifle, the declines In the two former leading tu tbe impression that the Gould party were not favorable to a restoration of rates, though this was in all probability tbe Impres sion designed. Tbe rates for money ran up to 12 per cent at tbe close, and tbe steady harden ing prevented any rally toward tbe end of the session. At that time there were many rumors of reduction In rates by the Lake Shore and other roads started, and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis declined sharply, though under severe pressure, and Louisville Saw ai. bany and Chicago dropped 8 per cent from Us last recorded sale. Aming other specialties to show marked weak-oss were Colorado Coal, Wheeling and Lake Eric preferred aud Lackawanna. Rich nj'md and West Point sold ex-rights to-day, but as the rights were valued atunly one-fourth ot 1 Ler cent that fact did not make much dif ference In Its price, but the stock was weak all tbe way out, as was also Lackawanna. The bears again succeeded in uncovering numer ous stop orders, and material declines were thus brougbt about In many stocks. , The close was active and weak at about tbe lowest prices of tbe day, although except in tbe stocks mentioned tbe movements were in significant and the business dull. Almost the entire list is lower. Sugar is off 4. Lacka wanna , Chicago Gas 1. Missouri Pacitic IK. Richmond and West Point 1J, Union Pa cmc and Wheeling and Lake Erie, preferred, lj-g. antl Colorado Coal iji. Railroad bonds were quiet all the way out, and while not sympathizing with stocks in the decline, failed to show any life or strength whatever, and the final changes are in almost all cases tor insignificant fractions only. Issues were only $1,179,000, out or which New York Central firsts registered furnished J200.U00. and Texas Pacific firsts S155,U30. Tbe only impor tant change in price was an advance of 2 per cent In Kansas and Texas general certificates toss. Government bjnds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been entirely neglected. Tho i'ott sajs: Aside from the reports in re gard to Chicago Gas, there was no news ot any kind, either in connection with, railroad affairs or tbe general financial prospect, to cause the decline in prices of stock to-day,. On the con trary, the money market la beconabg easier, u was shown not only by the bank- statement on Saturday, but by tbe fact that money on call In Chicago Is now below 5 per cent. Exchange on New York in that city a now 60 cents per SLO00 premium, and It is to be expected that in a few weeks money should settle down to 8 per cent here. The railroad earnings all over the country continue better than they have been for several years, and, though a perfect main tenance of the agreed rates can never be ex pected, the prospeots now are that rates will at least be higher before they are lower. There is one feature of-tbe present situation, how ever, which has contributed to dampen the courage of the speculators on the bull side, viz: The proposition to make such large increases in some stocks of which there are already enormous amounts on the market. Missouri Pacific stock is to be increased 20 per cent by tbe lssne of $10 0OO.C00 more; Atchison 86 per cent by the issue of nearly 127,000,000 more, and Richmond Terminal 40 per cent by the issue of $20,000,000 more. Tbe Increase of Atchison stock would not call for the investment of any more money by tbe present stockholders, bat tbe Missouri Pacific and Richmond Terminal schemes call for the investment of about 81,4, 000,000 more of money in bonds by the present stockholders.

David Everhart, an employe of tbe Bolivar Fire Brick Company, was strnck and killed by a freight train at Lockport, on the Pennsyl vania Kallroad, Saturday night. He was in the employ of tbe brick company-five or six years, and was one of the best-known workmen in the-yard. His family has tha Ktnrnm vm. rpatby of his many friends. A Tell of Itll.t Rising at morning or evening from some low land, often carries in Its folds tbe seeds of ma laria. Where malarial fever prevails no one Is safe unless protected by some efficient medi cinal safeguard. Hostetter's Stomach Sitters is both a protection and a remedy. No person who inhabits, or sojourns in a miasmatic re clou of Country, should omit to procure this fortifying agent, which is also the finest known remedy for dyspepsia, constipation, kidnoy trouble and rheumatism.
