BPEIKG LAMBS JOIN THE DOWH MOTE Office of Pittsburg Dispatch. J Wedxesday. July 23. 189a ( The receipts of cattle at the East liberty yards were the largest of the season. There were 150 car loads on the market Monday, and about a half dozen loads from surround ing counties have been received since Mon day. The contributions lrom Chicago were not above 30 loads, a rather lifht run from that source. A number of loads were from local points in Illinois. There were very few strictly prime beeves in this week's offerings, nor werethere toomany tidy butch er cattle weighing from 1,000 to 1,150 lbs. A few loads of heavy cattle, a good ways below prime, were offered. A larce proportion of the offerings were what a stockman cailed trash, nr in other words. heaw and licht. coarse cattle not well rounded out, which are not "wanted in this market. Bald hr: "There was a large sprinkling of coarse, heavy, thinnish cattle, neither fat nor poor, but bony, and lor this grade there is no demand in our markets." Markets opened heavy on Monday at a decline of 10c to SOc per per cwt from last week's prices. The greatest decline was on inferior grades, and least on tidy, light butcher cattle. But all grades suffered from the heavy influx of low grade stock. On an ordinary run light, smooth butcher cattle would have held their own. But the anxiety to unload forced holders to break cars and sell tops, ana as a resnlt all grades de clined in price. The inferior stock pulled down the choice stock. The highest price paid was H SO for some prime butcher cattle from Ohio weighing a little over 1,200 As, which were very fine in flesh and quality. Prevailing Frier. Good butcher cattle from 1,050 to 1,200 pounds ranged "in price from 3c to 4c per pound. Heavy coarse beeves ranged from Sc to SJc per pound. Trashy stock sold as low as 2c to 2Kc per pound. There were about 30 loads sent on In first hands, and this morning there was a large number of odds and ends in the yards un sold. These must be sold at a great sacrifice or carried over at heavy expense. There was lit tle in this week's operations to furnish encour agement to the drover. According to general estimate the only question is as to the extent of losses. Calves are off SI 50 a hundred from former prices of last week. A load from Chi cago on Monday broke the market, and it has not yet recovered. Veal calves were slow at 4c to 5C, and grassers at 2Jc to 3c per pound. Good sheep are steady at last week's prices, while common and medium grades are 15c to 25c a hundred lower. There were very few good sheep on tbo market this week. Stock men report that there were very few In the country. The best prico received this week was SI 35 for a few bnnches of Washington county sheep. Spring lambs were in excessive supply and markets were alow at a drop of 75e to $1 00 per hundred. The highest price re ceived was (cand the same grade would have readily brougnt 7c last week. There were but two carloads of hogs on the market this morn ing, and pnees were steady at a range of S3 90 toS4 00- aicCnll & Co.'s Weekly Review.

General brokers in real estate were asked yesterday if there were many strangers among the applicants lor tenement nouses anu uuiiu.uk lots, and the invariable reply was in the affirm ative Fully one-half of the renters this sum mer are newcomers drawn to the city by the prospect of plenty of work and good wages. Some of them buy lots and build cheap but comfortable dwellings. A great deal ot the buying and building now going on is by this class of people. This keeps np the demand for property and sustains prices, and It Is to supply this demand, and also to encourage immigra gration, that so much acreage Is being brought into the market Cheap lots and abundant fa cilities for building are strong inducements to outsiders to establish homes in this busy and rapidly growine city. This is so well understood by capitalists and Investors as to afford grounds for the predic tion that tho old cry of "no houses to rent" will in a few years survive only In the memory of the "oldest inhabitant."

Investors are taking advantage of the dull ness to hammer the market for cheap stuff. Tbeirsmall success is proof that things are on a solid basis, aud that holders are under no pressure to let go. The valne of silver certificates is sufficiently elastic to afford a margin for speculation, and there is some trading in them in New York, but none here.

The absence of new features in the local bus iness situation is sufficient evidence that every thing is going forward as usual, which is really good news. If anything detrimental to trade should happen it would be a "new feature." and the publio would soon hear of it. So long as there Is nothing new there will be nothing bad. These remarks reflect the condition of the local money market yesterday. There was nothing new; but, all the same, business was at a high pitch for midsummer, the demand tor loans being liberal, with an abundant sup ply of funds, and checking and depositing of large proportions. Indicating continued activ ity in general trade. The exchanges were $2, 830 712 17 and tho balanoes S291.865 49. Autumn whisperings are sweet as a psalm to -the mer chant, manufacturer and broker.

It was dull and narrew almost beyond expression. But for the de cision to issue certificates on the Buckeye product, speculation in this commodity would soon become a lost art. The opening, highest and closing was SSJi, and the lowest 88. Tues day's clearances were 16,000 barrels. Those of yesterday were less. Tho lowest point was reached in tho first hour. Oil City then tossed the price up a trifle, and held it there, assisted in a passive sort of way by Pittsburg. The local crowd is. In fact, on the fence, tbe shorts having no handle to work, and the longs holding out for something better, on tbe theory, perhaps, that the unexpected sometimes happens. Their perseverance may be rewarded. The Heine well in the Bellevue field was shot with 40 quarts of glycerine without avail. The Shaw well is flowing six barrels an honr. It is more than probable that W. J. Hammond, the well-known irnnman, will drill several wells, he having secured a lease from J, D. Rhelvers. Ground was broken on Captain Mnlvehill's place, adjoining Windsor Park, yesterday, for tbe Jos. S. Brown well. Tbe Patrick well has a fishing job.

Wall Street Doll and Featureless Speculat ing on the Fntnro of the market Change In tbe Policy of the Treasury Will Ha vo It Effect. New York, July 23. The stock market to day was as dnll as ever for the railroad list, but was given an appearance of animation by tbo activity in tho trusts. The firm undertone which has become so pronounced a character istic of the market of late was still retained, but the fluctuations, except in a few special ties, were on tbe usual limited scale. Tbe streot is as near dead as possible, but the few habitues who still are left are inclined to take an optimistic view of the future, both as re gards prices and business. Tbe hopes of the street are now centered on the probability of the Secretary of the Treasury obtaining suffi cient offers of bonds to relieve tho situation aud Insure an easy money market during the fall, when the demands for the moving of the crops shall cause the withdrawal of funds from the New York banks. ,The waiting attitude is taken on all the questions now open which have a bearing upon the values of securities, and while the news from the railroad meetings is, on the whole, rather favorable. It has no influence further than to maintain tbe firm tone of the market against the dullness. The principal attention was paid again to Sugar Refineries to-day, tbe talk of the reorganization, which it appears is now to be undertaken in earnest, helping on the bull speculation In it, and a material ad vance, occurred. A feeble responso was made to this nso by Lead Trust aud some of tbe specialties, but in no other stock was there an important movement during the entire session. Lead was helped by the reports of large earn ings and tho talk of a dividend, although no definite information was to be had in the mat ter. Among the specialties Citizens' Gas, of Brooklvn, advanced Vt per cent. Hock ing Valley, Pullman and Denver and Bio Grande preferred were active without special movement andhad no influence upon anything else. It transpired after the close of Business that the trustees of the Sucar Trust had to-day begun a suit in Kings county for the purpose of winding up the Trust and disposing of the properties composing It. The strengtb of the stock during tho day was there fore fullv accounted for. The market in gen eral continued dull and listless until the close, which was dull aud steady to firm at about first prices. Another factor which creates an im proved good foellug is the fact that it is now clear that tho crops have been injured only in Kansas. Sugar is np 3 and Citizens' Gas 1, but all other changes are slight. Railroad bonds were fairly active, the trad ing extending to $1,030,000 distributed over a large number of issues. The changes in quota tions, however, were on cbe same limited scale as usual of iato and only a few bondd show any important fluctuation. Government bonds have been more active and strong. State bonds have been quiet and firm. Tbe Post says: The public have reason to ex pect that there will be a change of policy on tho part of the Treasury and that there will be large purchases at an important advance In the prices of the bonds. One direct effect of this expectation is that since Saturday the 4 per cent bonds have advanced 1 per cent to 102 at noon to-day. Tbe check-given to speculation In London by the South American financial troubles can scarcely last much longer. The Argentine Re public will within tbe next week or so either be obliged to suspend specio payments or will show its ability to maintain them, and in either case, the London money market will bo re lieved from its present suspense. These are tbe aspects of the general situation, which im part a rising tendency to the stock market in spite of its dullness. The expectations of a superabundant supply of money In Julr nave thus far been disappointed, aud there are some THURSDAY, JULY "24, reasons for thinking that the rates for money will continue on a higher average throughout this year than last, and in this respect will be a drawback on any speculation in stocks, though not necessarily a sufficient obstacle to stop an advance In prices.
