There were 230 head of cattle on sale at these yards to-day, of which MS head were from Chicago and the balance from Ohio. Chicago cattle rold at a range of 4 to 5Kc per ft, and Ohio at 4 to 6jc. Harrison, Diamond Market butcher, bought a load of Ohio cattle, weighing 1,500 pounds, which the Greenawalts claim were as good as any brought to this mar ket this season. The Pittsburg. Fort Wayne k Chicago Railway Company has of late been rushing cattle trains through on djuule quick time. A train of 15 cars ol beeves was landed at Woods' Run yards within a lew dajs in 27 hours from Chicago. The offerings of sbeeD and lambs at these )ards to-day were 469 bead. Eheep sold at a range of 5 to 5Jc, yearlmcs 5 to 6c and spring lambs at 5 to 7c There were no hogs In the market aud there was no demand. Prices paid at Chicago were about 10 per cent below last week, and markets here were dull and slow at a corresponding decline. At Enat Liberty. There were 100 loads of cattle on the market this morning, against S3 loads tha previous Monday. As our local trade calls for only 75 to SO loads, it was evident from the start that markets would drag. Up to 9 o'clock sales were light and prices in general were 10c to 15c lower than last Monday. The quality of offer ings averaged up better than lor a few weeks past. The bulk were from Chicago. There were a good many grass cattle in the offerings of to-day. A mixed lot of bulls, cows and heifers were on tbe market and for this grade markets opened up very slow at a decline from former rates. The only grade that held up well w ere tbe licbt, tidy butcher cattle, weigh ing 1,100 to 1.200 pounus. The reason for tbe steadiness of this grade was their scarcity. There were a larcer number of good, heavy cattle on the market than usual, but tbere were no buyers for this grade, and a number of loads would necessarily be sent on in first bands. In carload lots thro were no cattle that brought above $4 7o per hundred, and it is doubtful If even this figure was reached by actual sales. A Dull murker. . The cattle situation this week, as last, fur nishes few crumbs of comfort to the dealer. While prices were a shade lower at Chicago, shippers were forced to accept prices which more than offset tbe decline. If there were any margins of profit left tbey must havebeen very narrow. This week, as last, furnished little If any profit to drovers. There were 18 loads of sheep and lambs on the market this morning. In the lot were a few loads of choice. For this grade markets were strong at a shade better prices than tbe same would have brought last week. There were about 32 loads of hogs in the market, and prices were steady at $4 to H 05 for Fhiladelphias and S3 90 to H for Yorkers. Receipts at Chicago tolav were SZ000 head, and markets steady -itli f 3 80 to (3 S5, according to advices received by one of our leading pork packers from his buj er there. The price of bocs here is about 50c per hundred Ion er than at this time a year ago. On June 21. 18S9. Fhiladelphias were quoted at ft 60 at East Liberty. Bt Tcleemph.

THE NEED OF A LIBERAL POLICY. Stock and Oil Pits Good Places in Which to Doze the Bnltrj .Hours Away. THE HEWS AND GOSSIP 0P THE CITI "All that Is needed to insure the rapid set tlement of tbe suburban districts is quick and cheap transit. This has already been largely introduced, but there is a great deal of territory that has not been touched. It is found on every side of the city, aud offers every advantage for residence purposes ex cept lacilities for reaching it within a reason able time. These unoccupied acres are badly needed in the market to facilitate the growth of the city by lessening the pressure upon the more thickly settled quarters. Pittsburg is so favorably situated for manu facturing enterprises and possesses so many advantages for the prosecution oi utilitarian interests that in time a dwelling almost any where below Grant street will be hard to find. "With the knowledge that this will be the condition before many years take tbelr flight it becomes a matter of grave concern to provide ample accommodations for the people in the outlying districts so as not to retard the growth of tbe city by letting the Impression get abroad that she Is unable to supply the demand for bouses or sites upon which to bnlld. This is a matter that should Interest the wealthly steam and street railway companies. They should look to the future as well as tbe present. Judicious expenditures in the way of extensions or concessions to the reasonable demands of their patrons, would increase their business and lay tbe foundations for future large profits. By extending their lines into sparsely settled territory they would stimulate building and plant the germ of a patronage that would in a short time become very valua ble. While this might not, and probably would not, pay at tbe time, it would In the long run; and It would give the companies making the venture the practical monopoly of a traffic which tbey bad by wise forethought been the means of developing. Quick and cheaD transit has done a great deal for Pittsburg, but it is destined to do still more to enlarge her area, add to her attractions to outsiders, and make her a city of homes. Business News nnd Gossip. Workmen were engaged yesterday placing joists for the third floor of the Daizell law building. It is to be finished by October 1. The next importaut improvement on Fonrth avenue, between Smlthfleld and Grant streets, according to report, will be at Nos. 164 and 166, owned by Mr. A. Israel, who will tear down the present buildings and erect in their stead an eight-story business block, work on which will probably begin next week. Tho sales of lots at North Jeannette on Sat urday, by Baxter, Thompson 4 Co., aggregated J25.000. The old Pine Bun mine, at Coal Valley, formerly worked by the O'Neills, but which has been idle for the past three years, will, it is said, be leased and operated by Mr. Edward Stokes, of that place. The syndicate operating at Parnassus will soon apply for a charter under which to lay out and build up tbs proposed town. Surveyors were staking out lots yesterday. Twenty-three mortgages were dangling on tbe Recorder's file yesterday. The largest was for $5,000 and the smallest for $200. Six were for purchase money. It was given out yesterday on good authority that the work of changing the motlvo power on the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester street railway lines will begin this week and be vigor- I ously pushed. I Henry Clews says: 'The money market re- i mains active at tun rates, ana aitnougp. rouei is sure to come after July 1, yet the prolonga tion of high rates beyond tbe time anticipated disturbs confidence." and adds: "It is almost impossible to intelligently forecast tbe outcome, ot tbe present situation or tbe silver question." Tbere is talk of a large plant in tbe East End for turning out vitrified brick for paving purposes. The adoption by many of tbe sur rounding cities and towns ot brick for pave ments bas given quite an impulse to this in dustry.

Nothing the Matter With tbe Local Honey Market Rates Steady. The local banks reported a good seasonable business yesterday, but a dearth of new feat ures.

In spite of tbe fact that Government bonds are approaching maturity more banks have been organized during the year ending with May last than In any other 12 months since 1865. For the year ending with October, 1865, the number of charters taken out was L014, with a capitalization of S242.542.9S2. Tbe nnm ber for the 12 months ending with last Mav was 282, with an aggregate capital of ISI.765,000. Only 58 of these have been authorized in New England and the Middle States, while 161, with a capital of 18,830,000, are in tbe States and Territories west of the Mississippi. The four States last admitted contain 26, all organized within the last year named, and 11 of them are in the State of Washington: These figures furnish a good Index of the progress of development in the Western half of the country. They tell perhaps in more compact shape than any otber statement could do how steadily as well as rapidly the star of the Republic bas taken its way toward the set ting sun.

There was scarcely any demand for oil yester day, and the market sagged off a point in tbe forenoon, with only two or three small deals, the first of which did not occur until after 11 o'clock. Late in the day there was a slight rally on local buying and the close wasH better than the lowest point, bnt K belowthe opening. The early weakness came from OH City. The range was: Opening and highest, 89; lowest, 89: closing, 89. Stockholders of the Association well at Ems worth have decided to shoot the hole, ana if notblnc results, to draw tbe casine to the 100- K loot sand and shoot It thero. Some of the stock holders believe tbe well will yet pay. It is said an offer of (1,000 bas been made for It. Fnlr to Middling'. Two new wells are In in Forest Groxe. The Orchard well on'the Young farm Is small bnt she may make a fair pumper. She Is deficient in gas. The Vandergrif t hole, within a few feet of the Scboolbouse well, is making 75 barrels a day. The two derricks have only a fence be tween them, but the former was a very pro nounced duster which fact is puzzling some people. A well has been located on tbe farm of W. A.

Wall Street Realm a Benr Attack, and Shares Steadily Appreciate Opera lora Watching and Waiting; on MovementM nt Washington. New York, June 23. The stock market to day was quiet, nut in the main strong, with a slow and steady appreciation of values through out most of the day. The waiting attitude of operators istill maintained, but a moderate de mand from the shorts, with a limited quantity ot long buying was sufficient in the absence of any marked pressure by the bears to make frac tionally higher figures for most of the list. There was a short and feeble attempt in the early dealings on the part of the traders to get prices off by sharp attacks upon a few stocks, but the effect was not of much importance, and the raid was soon given up. The attention of the street is at present centered upon Wash ington, and the prospects of a silver bill at this session, and the possible changes in the sugar tariff are of most Importance for the time be ing. Sugar Refineries opened np 1 per cent, and afterward appreciated about 2 per cent more. The trading was large both in tbe num ber of transactions and the aggregate of the number of shares whicb changed hands, but the extreme fluctuations were not to be com pared with those to which wo have become accustomed in this stock. In tbe regular list Chicago Gas and C, C, C. t St. L. were the special objects ot the early pressure, and each yielded 1 per'cent, but upon the cessation of tbe hammering a fall and rapid recovery took place, while the rest of the list which had sympathized to only a limited extent in tbe decline was soon placed above the level or the opening prices. The news of the day was not of a particularly important nature, and hlle the feeling that tbe cominir meetinir ot tho railroad magnates in this city must he productive of good to the -1WAB1 mem niU UU UIBJJUJllUU 1U bafc.B UU1U 1U a vigorous manner. The expectation, however, is to see a more active and higher market after tbe first of July, a fair estimate of the dis bursements at tbat time being $90,000,000, large proportion of which is expected to come into Wall street. As to tbe relief to the street from a silver bill, however, there is a growing feeling of indifference, and that no legislation is preferable to free coin.-ige. The close was quiet and firm, but something off lrom tbe best prices in moat cases. Atchi son and Missouri Pacific were the strong feat ares, and there is talk of a traffic agreement be tween them. Tbe final changes are in a large majoritv of cases fractional gains, and sugar was up 2c Atchison 1 and Missouri Pacific 1 per cent, the last named selling ex-dividend of 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were very qniet and remained without feature throughout the session, al though the usual Arm tone was maintained and most of the changes in quotations are in the di rection ot higher prices. They are, however, generally for insignificant fractions only. The sales reached J725,000 without activity in any part ot tbe list. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have teen neglected. The -Post pays: The reduction of 1 ner cent in the demand and 60 day rates for sterling on Saturday put them about 1 per cent below the rate at which gold could be exported with, out loss. But to day the demand rate is up X cent again, and the result is tbat the difference between the two classes of bills Is widened to more nearly represent the 60 days' interestyln Fourth avenue, changes London where rates for money are higher, the discount rate In the open market to-day being ZiC or Kc over the Bank of England rate. If this rate is maintained a few days, it is not Im probable that tbe Bank of England will be compelled to advance Its rate on next Thurs day, and in that case there would probably be a further advance In exchange and farther exports of gold. So far as this might have any effect on the stock market it is to De kept in mind that this gold could go for tbe pur pose and with the effect of reliev ing the money market In London, which has been made tight by tbe tightness of money on the continent. Money is comparatively easy and is becoming more so, as issbown by the fact that, at Chicago, exchange on New York has for over a week been at a premium sufficient to warrant the transfer of currency. iVhatever may bo the causes of the tightness of money in money In Berlin and other parts of the conti nent, It does not cause the return of many American securities to this market. London has been and is yet, to a considerable extent, a buyer, and In the present aspect of railroad af fairs In this country, may be expected to con tinue a buyer. The gold that wont out l:st week, and any that may go out this week, would not represent tbe return of American securities but merely the movement of floating capital that is not invested toward London for the equalization of the rates of interest.
