If TE STOCK REVIEW. The Meanest Cattle Market of the Season at East Liberty. KECEIPTS IK EXCESS OP DEMAND. A Large Lot of Hearj Beeves Bent on East in First Hands. BWIKB AKD CH01CB SHEEP YRI FIRM orrics or pittsbtjbo Dispatch, ) Wedkes DAT. June 25. 1890. ( At East Liberty markets were about the meanest of tbe season. There were two ad t verse elements: First, the railroad strike at Cleveland, which diverted a large number of cattle, sheep and hogs intended for the Buffalo market to Pittsburg. Second, the large number of grass cattle in the offerings. Grass cattle are not wanted by onr butchers, for the reason that the meat of this class of cattle does not keep so well in hot weather as grain-fed stock. A grasser killed in the evening will show its keeping by the nert morning if not immediately put on ice. The meat is not so solid as that of grain-fed beeves. Said a leading commission man to-day: "I cannot understand why farmers will crowd their unripe grass-fed cattle on to market at this time of the year, when they conld do so much better by feeding them a few months louger. The grass on which cat tle feed at this season of the year is not so nutritious as it will be later on. Tbe Total Receipts or Cnitle For the week have been 118 carloads, against 85 loads last week. Supply was not less than 40 loads above the wants of our local trade. Nearly this number of re ceipts here were designed for the Buffalo market. Markets started ont very slow on Monday at a decline of 20 to 30c per cwt from last week's prices. Light, tidy butcher cattle suffered tbe least Irom tbe drop, and heavy, coarse cattle the most. There were sale of unpopular grades 40c per cwt below prices ot a week ago. .Nearly all the heavy cattle on the market were sent on East in first hands, as there were no buyers here wanting this grade. Sot less than 15 car loads designed lor our local trade were ship ped on. The best price for carload lots was $4 50 to f4 75, the latter lor a few extra butcher stock. Grassers weighing 1,000 to 1,200 pounds ranged in price Irom Zi to 4c. Sheep ond Swine. There were very few choice sheep on the market this week, and for this grade prices ot last week were well maintained. Com mon and low grades, ot which the bulk of the offerings consisted, were dull and lower. Supply of good mutton sheep falls short of demand. Hogs have been steady all the week, and are stronger this morning than at the opening on Monday. This notwith standing receipts of eight loads intended for the Buffalo market. There were five loads on the market this morning, and demand was active at $4 05 to 54 10 for tops. A fine bunch of Yorkersbrought the better prices. At Chicago this morning markets were steady at 53 85 for tops, according to advices received by one of our leading packers from bis agent there. McCnli fc Co.' Weekly Review.

Yet this cow ardly variety of swindler exists. He ap proaches the unsuspecting machine with its smiling slot waiting for him and into that innocent slot be drops a piece of lead of the weight and shape of a penny. Instantly the machine yields up its cigar, its bot tle of perfume or whatever else may be its stock in trade, and congratu lates itself on the briskness of business.

CHICAGO Wheat-Only a light trading to day and the market ruled quiet most. of the session, tboueh occasionally there were tempo rary spurts. The opening was a shade easier than yesterday's closing, due, probably, to the bearish talk of a prominent trader and clearer weather. Prices declined JiQ&c, but at the decline there was good buying, and with some bullish news from the Northwest, prices were advanced about IJic, then held steady, and the closing was about 65ic higher than yester day. Corn There was a good general trade wit nessed in this market with a range of c. The feeling early was quite heavy and opera tions were at lower prices, but later rallied some, but closed lower. The weaker tone was due mainly to the weather advices throughout the West reporting hot and forcing, weather exceptionally fine for corn. Oats were active but weaker and lower, but Inside figures were not maintained, closing sales being about tbe same as jesterday's ex cept for August, which was He lower. The de presslon of QJc In valoes was due to hot forcing weather, unloading by longs, the weak ness in corn and absence of good buj ing orders.

HOW LUfCOLH" C0DLD BTEETCH. A Story of tbe Martyr President Told by Long" Jones, of Illinois. New York Press. One 01 the most unique characters in na tional politics is Colonel A. 21. Jones, of Chicago Long Jones, as he is familiarly known from his great stature. He was Chairman ul the Illinois Republican State Committee for a number of years an,d the bead of the machine which was organized among the friends and supporters ol General John A. Logau to control tbe party organi zation. Chatting with Colonel Joiies, I re marked on his stature, when he pulled him self up to his fui' height o." G (ettii inches, to show me how much a tall man loses of his actual height by stooping as he talks with people. Then he told me this story of Abraham Lincoln: "I was calling on Mr. Lincoln with a party of ccntlemen when th nn. tion of his height came up, and one member of the party bet another that Mr. Lincoln was not over 6 feet 2 inches. A foot rule was pulled out, that height marked on a door jam, and Mr. Lincoln stepped under to be measured. "As he began to straighten himself out, take the kinks and curves out of his body, so to speak, he pushed the rule above his head higher and higher above the mark until the roan who offered the bet cried out in despair: 'Oh, that will do; I've lost, sure enough, but I dpn't want to be humili ated by seeing you touch sir leetanda half,' Mr. Lincoln's quaint reply was: 'Well. X thought you would find that there is con siderable come oat to me.' " i THE CONTINUES TO MOTE. Conclusion of an Important Trans action in East End Eeal Estate. TWEBTT STOKE HOUSES TO 60 DP. Finishing; Touches to a Block of Pine Dwellings After Parisian Ideas. THE HEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI. A large transaction In East End real estate has just been concluded by Black 8s Baird, to which allusion was made yester day. It comprises about 1,000 feet of front age on McPherson street, Boulevard place, upon which there will be 20 elegant stone houses erected this summer. 'Work on them will begin early next week. The purchase was made by a syndicate of five well-known local capitalists, one of whom is a banker. The deal, including the cost of the houses, will amount.to about 200,000. Workmen are putting the finishing touches to IS or 20 houses for Mrs. Isabella J. Sergeant, on Beatty street, near North Highland avenne. Six or eight more will follow. The work is being superintended by Mr. W. P. Powell, who spent a portion of last summer in Paris, where he picked up some ideas which he has utilized in the buildings in question. They are all high class, have stone fronts and elegant finish outside and in. The Law as It Is Applied. Decisions of interest to local contractors, builders and mechanics have recently been ren dered by courts of last resort in three States. The Supremo Court of New Jersey held that where one builds a party wall under a city ordinance authorizing and regulating city walls, he cannot claim the beneflt of such ordi nance unless the wall Is of the thickness re quired by the ordinance, and otherwise con forms to it, and Is without openings. In a suit for damages for delay in a building contract, the highest court of Minnesota handed down the following: in case of a contract to deliver materials to be used in the construction of a building in order to charge the seller with loss of rents arising from his failure to deliver snch materials within tbe time limited by the contract, the contract must have been made under such circumstances, and upon such a state of facts that it may be reasonably sup posed to have been contemplated by the parties, when making tbe contract, that such loss would follow its breach, and hence tbattbe seller con sented to become liable for it, and snch facts and circumstances if relied on must be pleaded and proved. Where a contract is silent as to the time of performance, a reasonable time is intended, and if it is in writing, proof of an oral agreement variant from that presumption will not be admitted. In a case involving a mechanic's Hen, the Su preme Court of Massachusetts bold: Where tbe statute requires" that a statement for a me chanic's lien for labor performed or materials furnished under an entire contract which in cludes both labor and materials at an entire price, shall specify the contract price, the num ber of days of labor performed or furnished, and the valne of the same, a statement which shows that the labor was furnished under a contract, and which states the number of days of labor and the value of the labor and the contract price therefor, or which states the materials furnished and the value and contract price therefor, is not sufficient, as it does not show the contract priee of the entire work. Business News and Gossip. Ground has been broken on the railroad be tween Wilkinsburg and Edgewood by Stewart & Hamnett for several fine dwelling;, to be fin ished this season.

Few figures and no sales were the outeoine of the first stock call yesterday. The second resulted a little better, there being two deals, aggregatine 110 shares.

Wall Street Awaiting Developments on tbe Free Coinage Act Sugar Trust Stock Dealt In Quito Moderately Bltr Sale of Reading Stock. New York, June 25. The street is still awaiting developments in the matter of the silver bill, the railroad difficulties and the Sugar Trust muddle, but in tbe absence of any special bear pressure, quotations follow their natural bent and slowly appreciate, notwith standing tbe most Intense dullness. The ex ports of gold seem to have about exhausted themselves, and still the money market main tains a condition of marked ease, and while all the conditions of business, both for the rail roads and all other line1, are most favorable,' the general disposition is to wait the events of the near future. To-day the excitement In Sugar Refineries calmed down, and the dealinzs in the stock were brought down to very ordinary propor tions, especially after the early liquidation or long accounts had been completed. That opera tion carried its price down to 69. but as it had already touched that figure during the past week, its decline npon the decision seems not to have been material. The feature of the day was the activity and strength in Reading, which once more took the lead of the regular list, and rose to 17 against U last night. The bujingis understood to be for the account of the people who succeed Mr. Corbin and his party in tho stock, and who are the people who were very prominent In the reorranlntlnn f Richmond and West Point some years ago. Five thousand shares were bought for tbe account oi one oi tue leaders, and the price rose above the limit, which checked the activity advance. Chicago Gas was dull and stagnant to-day with the re mainder of the list, and even the specialties whicb usually furnish one or two sharp move ments even in tbe dullness were without feat, ure of Interest. St. Paul, on the buying of the Western operators, was comparatively promi nent in tbe market, but its fluctuations were confined to the smallest limits. The action of the sales agents of the coal companies bad Its influence upon the coalers, and the Vanderbilt dividends were an element of strength in the market. Good bnylng of Atchison made it a prime favorite in tbe last hour and a rise of nearly 1 per cent folIoued,,but there were no features in tbe rest of the list, and dullness and stagnation were the rule. Tbe close was quiet aud firm to strong eenerally at about tbe best of tbe day. Tbe final changes were almost all for small fractions, but while Reading Is np 2 and Atchison IK, Sugar is down 2. Tbe railroad bond market was as dull as that in stocks, and like the stock market showed more material changes in quotations than usual of late. The movement in Reading extended to junior bonds, and tbe seconds roso 2Ji to 58. Tney were the only features in the market, however, notwithstanding that other marked changes occurred. Memphis and Charleston firsts rose 2 to 107. The loses were Louisville and Nashville Cecillan 6s 3J at 106; San Antonio and Arkansas, 1885, 231 at 8d Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been quiet and steady. Tbe -Pojr. referring to tbe movement in Read ing says: This was merely a marking up of the price by the pool which controls Reading, and was done in consequence of the proposed ad vance of 10 per cent per ton to be made after July 1 in the price of coal. There is nothing special in the condition of coal trade to war rant the advance in price as is shown by the fact that the companies, v. bile voting yesterday to advance tbe price of coal, also voted to re strict tho output to 3,250,000 tons in JlIj ot tbis ?ear against 3,627,52 tons in tbe same month astyear. There were probably no shorts In Reading to be squeezed by the advance in tbe stock because the pool some months ago dem onstrated their ability and their determination to keep the price of Reading stock up as high or higher than the 118.687.211 third preference Jlnoomes, which come ahead of the $33,878,569.011 THURSDAY, JUNE 26." the stock. The last sale -of the third preference Incomes was 43U yesterday when the stock was 15. This makeslt plain that45or461san absurd price for the stock, hut the bears have been pretty well scared out from selling it short.

S3 CATCHING THE SHARK. After He Tnkcs Iho Hook He Mnkes Things Terr Lively for o. Time. New York Sun. 1 Every fisherman loves to hook a big fob, and angling for sharks gives some promise of becoming popular. With his dorsal fin in full view, the movemebts of a shsrk can be easily detected, and the fisherman has only to place the bait where the fish is likely to see it. The tackle consists of two or three hundred feet of manila rope, about as thick as a common clothesline, a big steel hook, and a chain leader. The bait is usually two or three weakfish. A float, or "dobber," as it is technically called, is used, and when a shark bites, this float disappears under water just as rapidly as a little painted cork does when a weakfisb takes the bait " Then comes the tug of war. The shark tows tbe boat sometimes at a lively rate, but alter a few runs be capitulates and consents to come in toward the shore. The crew, on reaching shallow witter, jump out of the boat and grab the line, Eeinforcements usually arrive at the proper time, and the captive is dragged ashore by main force. Then be is clubbed to death with fence rails and all sorts of available weapons heavy enough for the purpose. Tnis operation is performed, not in a spirit of cruelty, but for the purpose of making him quiet enough to allow one of the sportsmen to cnt the hook out of his mouth. This is sometimes a dangerous operation. A shark dies hard and his teeth are to be avoided. A thick niece of wood is thrust into his mouth, and this keeps him from closing his jaws npon the hands of the operator. 700B MARION HAH0LA, AH Her TJnhnpplneia Cansed for Advertis ing Fnrpoir-n. New York Letter in Philadelphia, Times.: Ben Stevens and his star, De 7oIf Hop per, have been doing some clever advertis ing. They succeeded in working up Marion JIanola into a frenzy of temper about hav ing her picture taken in tights. She abso lutely refused, and rushed into print with a series of caustic interviews explaining her reasons therefor. When Stevens got every one to talking about Manola and her tights, he undertook to steal a march on her and had a photographer to catch her unawares on the stage, and photograph her by a flash light. The attempt was made and created a sen sation, as the astute manager expected it would. The public took sides with Manola and the resultisanincrease ot business, and Stevens congratulates nimseii upon having done one of the slickest pieces of advertis ing ever attempted in this country. Despite the manager's glee, Manola is still; indig nant, and although she sings every night she does so under half protest. COLONEL SC0TTS LUCE. A Winner on the Turf, In Politics mad In Conl nnd Cured of Dyspepsia. New York Press. Ex-Congressman "W. L. Scott has been a very lucky man lately. His horses have done well on the turf, his Democratic neigh bors want him to go back to Congress again, and he has been cured of dyspepsia, ,As if these were not enough lucky strokes, lam told that he recently purchased some property across the hill from his Scott coal mines at Scott Haveu, Pa., which he sus pected was underlaid with a continuation of the same coal field. His mines are in the Toughiogheny Val ley, and the newly acquired property is in the Monongahela Valley. It has been ex plored sufficiently to determine its char acter to be equal to tbe old Scott mines, and to be worth a hundred times what Scott paid for it. A 8ENSATI0N IN TEXAS, Tho Lone Star Stnte All Torn Vp Over the Conduct of a. Flailing, Party. Dallas News Ed Gaston, of Dallas, and Charley John son, from Tyler, in company with Dr. C. A. Rush and Captain Henry Hicks, of this place, left here the other day lor a fishing excursion on East Eork. Personal inquiry as to the completeness of the preparations for the trip revealed the astonishing fact that tbe above "gentlemen with intentional disregard of busiuess principles and com mon prudence left out of the account and went off without the iuevitable jug of "snake medicine." Nothing of the kind ever having occurred in these parts before within tbe memory of tbe oldest inhabitant, tbe friends of the party regard their conduct as exceedingly reckless, and thev will suffer considerable uneasiness as to tielr safety during the trip. 1890;- DOMESTIC MARKETS.
