Keceipts of Cattle at Liberty Less Than Last Week and Market FIRMFOE GOOD BUTCHERING STOCK Quality of Sheep and Lambs Offered Poor and Prices Off. BWIXE IN LIGHT SEPPLI AND FIEM Office op pittsbueo Dispatch, l "Wedesdat. JuIySO. IS90. The total receipts of cattle at East Lib erty for the week were 120 loads, against 156 loads last week. A decline of 36 loads bad a favorable effect on markets, and all tidy, light butcher beeves were firm at last week's prices. There has been a scarcity of this grade of cattle for some months, and their scarcity is the redeeming feature of markets. The quality ot this week's receipts was be low late average. A very large percentage of the cattle on the market were common and low grade. There were in the 120 loads received this week about 23 loads from Chi cago. The supply of tidy butcher cattle, such as our market calls for, waB scarcely up to demand. The bulk of the offerings were what is known in the trade as shipping grass cattle. For this grade markets opened weak on Monday, and sales were made at a de cline of 10 to 15c from prices of last week. There was a decline on all grades with the exception of light, tidv butcher stock, weicbing from 1,000 to 1.200 lbs. Afewloaus of heavy cattle, wtighing about 1,500 fis, which w ere in good condition, bat not prime, were sold at SI SO. Fresh cows were in larger supply than at any Slme this year or last, and prices on common stock were oft S3 to Soabcsd. A few extra good fresh cons were sold at $35 to Mi There were in all about ten loads of fresh cows on the market. Calves were in good supply, and top prices for calves were 5WC. Grassers were tlow at a range of 3Jc to 4c per ft. The last price obtained was Si 40 for a carload ot 1.300-ft Indiana cattle which were prime in quality. HlKber Price. Poorer Stock The general equality of offerings was below late average. Prices were a shade higher at sources of supply, and as there was no advance here drovers did not fare very well on this week's operations. Tne cost of this week's offerings was essen tially the same as last, but quality was lower this week. This mornmgtbere were about four liiads left unsold, mostly common and low grade stock, and holders would no doubt be forced to liberal concessions on Monday's prices, which were 10 to 15c per cwt, below the previous Mon day's prices. The supply of sbeep and Iambs this week has been unusually lame. Tuere were upward of 30 loads on the market Monday, and the total receipts for the week have been close to 50 loads. Quality of offerings was generally f. foor, ana prices or sneep were on zoc irom ast week and lambs 50c Choice sheen and lambs were very scarce. Very few of this grade are coming to market this season. A number of loads were unsold this morning, and prospects were that they would bo seut on East in first hands. The ranse of markets for sheep was $3 50 to S3 10 per hundred, with very few sold at the last figure. Lambs ranced lrom 4c to 5Jc per &. A bunch of very fancy, comprising 15 bead, brought 7c per B. There were between three and four carloads of hogs on the market this morning, and prices ranged from $4 00 to $4 15. There were about 28 loads on the market this week, and very few of those offered were choice. The top price at Chicago this morning was S3 95. but tops there were of much better quality than those at East Lib erty, which sold at $4 15. IIVE STOCK MARKETS.

An American Citizen on His Way to Ger many lo Mnnd Ti Inl. rSrZCIAL TELSOBAU TO TUB UISrATCH.1 New Yobk, July 30. Among the pas sengers on the Britannic to-day were Mr. Joseph J. Jonasson, an American citizen who is going to Germany to be tried for "sedition," under the laws of that country. Mr. Jonasson is a son of Slayer Jonas son, the cloak manufacturer. Last spring, while at a restaurant in Berlin one evening, he engaged in a discussion with several strangers as to the comparative merits of this country and Ger many. In the heat of the discussion, it is alleged, Mr. Jonasson spoke disre spectfully of the young Emperor, William IX The expression he is said to have used means, when freely translated, "I cough at the Emperor." . This "seditious language," so-called, led to the man's arrest. He was subsequently released cpon bail in 5,000 marks, and soon afterward returned to this country. Re cently be received word by cable from his lawyer in Berlin, requesting him to come to Germany at once. In answer to an inquiry as to whether he had been in dicted, Mr. Jonasson was informed that be had been, and that if he failed to appear, a writ would issue by virtue or which he would be seized and imprisoned if he ever ventured again upon German soil. He has decided to go over and be tried. Unmhorc F'b for the Liver.

CHICAGO-Wbeat A moderate business was transacted to-day. At times trading was quite active, at others ruled very quiet, and on the whole there was less doing than on tbe pre ceding days. "The character of tbe news w rather mixed and the situation just at present very uncertain. Operators are apparently in clined to be cautious and are watching the market closely. News from the other side is somewhat contradictory, and tho same can bo said of the Northwest. The opening wasj Ko higher than yesterday's closing figures, but became weak and pneos declined lQIKc, fluc tuated some and again became weaker, declin ing llc more and closed about lH2o lower than yesterday. Corn was active and unsettled, with trading heavy both on local and outside account. The feeling early was quite strong, and a sharp ad vance was recorded, but later ruled weaker and closed easy. The influences on the market were much the same as noted of late, mainly the weather conditions in tbe corn belt. The market opened llc higher than the closing prices of yesterday, but soon sold off ljc on free realizing. A prominent local trader took large quantities on the decline, and the market reacted c, ruled easier, but closed HFc better than yesterday. Oats There was fair trading and an un settled feeling prevailed. The opening was firmer and KeKc higher, and a further appre ciation ot Kc was recorded. An increase in the offerings and a small demand produced weakness, and prices declined Klc but be came stronger, rallied c, receded Ho and finally closed steady at tbe same to a slight ad vance over yesterday's last sales. Mess Pork Trading was only fairly active. August ruled 2550c higher. July attracted most attention and closed 204125c lower. Lard Only a fair business was transacted.

JrlMl-xraThr THE ENOUGH TO 60 ROUND Ho Scarcity of Manufacturing Sites, Which Are Held at Low Figures. GOOD OPENINGS FOR OUTSIDERS. Another Surprise in Petroleum, Bat Home Securities Move Slowly. THB SEWS iKD GOSSIP OP THB CITI Manufacturers should not be deterred from pulling up stakes in less favored lo calities and coming to Pittsburg to acquire fame and fortune by silly reports of the scarcity and high price of sites suitable to their business. This report wasstarted a year or two ago by an Eastern trade jour nal, which was envious of the rapid growth and marvelous prosperity of this city. It was false then and is false now. There is no city In the country that can offer as great a variety of manufacturing sites as Pittsburg. They abound everywhere in the city and suburbs, and possess all the advantages or river and rail transportation, natural gas, coal, coke and everything else necessary to the rapid and successful prosecu tion of business, while prices are extremely moderate, ranging from $500 to $1,000 an acre. Pittsburg has the lion's share ot the Im portant industries, but there is room for more, which will be accorded all the advantages of the older establishments. Bites are not going a-begging, but the city and its suburbs are full of them and they can be obtained on easy terms. Trade Wertb Looking Af lor. A nromlnent business man writing from the City of Mexico mentions some things which may interest Pittsbure manufacturers. He says that people in tbe United States are some times slow to perceive tbe value of foreign markots, but there is a class of wide-awake Yankees who are doing a good business in that country. The American printing press is "on top" in Mexico, also tbe American watch, and American fine furniture finds a regular sale. notwithstanding tbe high duties. For all these reasons the cry that American goods are not used there, and cannot be introduced, is non sense. It is very close to the real fl cures to say that If exico buys yearly ot American manu facturers, farmers and merchants, 520.000,000. The published figures of tbe United States Treasury Department only show the goods sent to Mexico by steamer, and to these must be added tbe railway freights for that country, which will bring tbe total easily to $20,000,000. Badness News and Gossip. Wfiklnsburg Council passed an ordinance permitting tbe Dnquesne Traction Company to tunnel under the radroad, provided it bear all expense and give bond for damages tbdt may accrne to abutting property. It is thought tbe company will accept the terms. Building is very active in the suburbs. The Southside and Sewickley districts will make a surprising showing at the end of the season. With tho trend of business eastward, it is surprising that Grant street should be allowed to remain dormant. Instead of the most back ward it should be one of tbe most progressive tborongbfares in the city. Nothing is wanting but a leader to give it a boom. It was no uncommon occurrence for the city papers last summer to appear minus real estate transactions. This has not happened this season. Sales appear every day. The improve ment over last summer is estimated by com petent authority to be at (east 50 per cent. A great deal of well located property in the upper part of Allegheny is going to waste. It is believed that energy and printer's Ink would work a change for the better. The experiment is worth trying. There is no reasonable excuse for dead property on either side of the river. The Pennsylvania Railroad has changed its mind, and will not tear down the station at Edgewood, for awhile at least. It is being re paired with a new floor and platlorms, and a baggage room will be located in tbe basement. Railroad earnings contiuue to show large in creases over last year. This is the principal bullish feature of the business situation. Advices from London are to the effect that the outlook is favorable to cheaper money. The suppression of the outbreak In Buenos Ayres had a good effect on the funds. Allegheny City proposes to spread out still more along the Perrysville road. A tract of nearly 100 acres on that thoroughfare, costing $30,000, has just been purchased by a syndicate, and will be laid out in about 600 lots and put on the maricet. Yesterday's mortgage list was one of the largest of tbe year, numbering 67. Tbe largest was for 24,000. Sixteen were for purchase money. Movements In Real Kstate. A deal is on for 63 acres and six brick houses on Dnquesne Heights, at something under $50, 000. The handsome rosidence and grounds and Mr. C. A Cblpley, of the Pennsylvauia Rail road, at Brnshton, changed owners yesterday for $18,000 cash, the purchaser being Henry Phones. The lot is 120 by 305, and the house one of the finest in that locality. Mr. Chipley was recently promoted and transferred to Phil adelphia. C. Beringer dc Son sold a house and 1 acres of ground at Qlenfield to J. H. Bramer for $2,500. W. A Herron & Sons sold at Edgewood a lot 60x120 feet, corner of Locust and Beech streets, lor 1,550 cash. They, in connection with Algeo Bros., sold Nos. 205 and 207 Arch street, Allegheny, two lots 20x100 feet each, with an old building of little value, for $7,500 cash for all. Black & Balrd sold to Casper Geltenboth, for Francis Lejnne, a two-story frame dwelling, being No. 157 Howard street, Allegheny City, with lot 22x116 feet, for $1,100.

Most of the brokers spoken to said there was a fair aggregate of buying orders on the market, bnt tbe trouble was to get buyers and sellers to seo values through the same glass. Sales were 147 shares. Philadelphia Gas, Switch and Signal and Columbia Oil developed additional strength. Westingbouse Electric was off a point. Rights sold at 50 and 45. The only change in street railway shares were fractional declines in Central and Pleasant Valley. The rest of the list showed no material changes. FIBBT CALL. B A SXOOXD CALL. B A Pitts Fetro. 8.

Tbe Local Crowd bucceods In Stirring Tilings Up Field Notes. The oil market produced another surprise yesterday. Trading was active, and the fluctu ation covered a rango of 2 cents. About 50,000 barrels changed hands. The feeling was firm from start to finish. The local crowd were most prominent on the bull side, and did most to stir the animals up. After Pittsburg had set the boom in motion, assisted by Oil City aud Bradford. New York turned in and sold. Under this influence the maricet weakened. The close was lLc below tho initial figure. The opening was 89c, the highest 00c. and the lowest and closing 88c The exchange unanimously adopted the propositions to issue certificates on tbe Bnckeye product, and to return to the system of cash delivery. Certificates will be ready for use about August 15. Tbe new well of tbe Bellevue and Gienfleld Natnral Gas Company is considered a better one than tbo Magazine well on the Ivory farm.

Wall Street Interested in the Movements In Silver Railroad Bonds Improving la Price and Movement Gen eral Stacks Dull. New Yobk, July 80. The influence's which, for the past few days, have been tbe cause of comparatively wide movements in the stock market, to-day seemed to have lost tbeir power to move prices, and the stock market again re turned to its no normal condition of dullness and stagnation. There were a few movements in some stocks which are ' affected by causes peculiar to themselves, but the general list was dull and stagnant throughout tbe day. Of the movements to-day therein Sugar Refineries, Atchison, StPaui.Rock Island and Lackawanna alone are worthy of notice. Sugar was moved un and down over a comparatively narrow range by the conflicting reports of the con templated reorganization, but it never got as as much as 1 per cent away from its opening price. Among tbe stocks of tbe regular list the strongest may be said to be Rock island. Lake Shore, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred and Hocking "Valley. The great feature of the trading, however, was the sudden and decided strength developed in cottou oil in the after noon, wuereuyine receipts were advanced to 32 and closed at 32, a net gain of Zlfper cent for the day. The market closed dull but firm, at but slight cbanges from last night's figures as a rule, the stocks mentioned showing the great est advances. The market continues dull, but firm to strong, and there is evidence that when ever the leading bulls take hold prices will ad vance easily, so that with the more hopeful feeling now prevalent, an outside following will Railroad bonds were slightly more active to day, the sales aggregating S758.000, though there was no more feature In the dealings than usual of late. The activity in Atchison in comes, which furnlsbed $107,000 to the total, was the only important feature in the day. Cairo, Arkansas and Texas firsts rose 2 to 107. Government bonds have been quiet, but firm. State bonds have been entirely neglected. The Post says: Tbe speculation in silver bullion continues, and there were sales this forenoon of 278,000 ounces, or equal to sales of about 2,780 sbares of railroad stocks at par, the price going up to 111, which was the highest figures touched. It is now apparent that the Secretary of the Treasury must buy 13,500,000 ounces between tbe 13th of August and the 13th of November unless tbe price goes above SI 29 29-100 per ounce. There is now a stock of about 7,000,000 or 7,500,000 ounces in sight in the New York market and vicinity. Heretofore, tor, ten years or more the average monthly ex ports have been about 700,000 ounces, and the average monthly imports about 1,500,000 ounces, thus leaving net exports of say 1,200,000 ounces per month, or say 15,000,000 per annum, for so long a period as to show that there Is a constant market for that much abroad. Whether there is a sufficient stock in the country to flow into the Treasury at the rate of 13,600,000 in the three months after August 13, and still leave 8,000,000 to 4,000,000 for export in the same time remains to be seen.

Delay of Adams Express Trains Causes a Glut of Tomatoes. POTATOES SCARCE AND HIGHER. Cereal Markets Are Steady and Favorable to the Holder. LDMBEE IS ACTIVE AND UNCHANGED office or PiTTSBtnto Dispatch, 1 WEDNESDAT, July 30. 188a J Country Produce Jobbing Prices. The leading feature of markets to-day was tbe glut of tomatoes. Owing to delay of Adams Express trains, a large lot of Southern stuff was behind time, and commission men re ceived their goods after customers bad gone home. The delay entailed heavy losses on the shipper and very sorely tried the patience of the commission merchant. Potatoesarescarce and higher. Melons are in good supply and markets are easier, cabbage is dun, owing to liberal receipts. Supply ot berries is light and demand corresponds. Poultry is slow at quota tions. Eggs are in better supply and markets are weak at a shade lower prices. Choice nearby stock is still scarce. The creamery bnt-( ter drift is upward and there is little doubt; that prices will be advanced before the week Is out. The upward movement of creamery butt ter baa brought to our market larce Quantities from beyond the Mississippi within a few days.t and, in the view of dealers here, this will serve as a check to tbe advance, cneese matters are firm in their views of values, aud there is a disposition to withhold stock in tbe faith and hope of better markets.

A Sleeting of Pilots Called Engineers Want Information of Troublesome Obstruc tions Business at tbe Wharves Qniet Notes of Boats and Boatmen. Captain John A. Wood. President of tbe Coal Exchange, received a letter from Colonel Mer rill yesterday from Cincinnati, asking bim to call a meeting of river pilots and coal operators to decide where improvements along tbe Obio are required. Captain Wood, in an interview, stated that improvements were most necessary at Logstowm, Wellsburg and Marietta Island. There is not enough money left of this year's appropriation to make the necessary improve ments, and some will have to be held back for anotber year. Marietta Island is about tbe most dangerous place. Here the river is forced into a narrow cbannel on tbe south side by means of a dam nine feet high, which causes the river to runjat a fearful rate. At the lower end of Marietta; Island a dike 2,000 feet long and 7 feet bigh has been built. Two feet of water flows over this, which makes a danger of sink ing barges when forced upon the dike. It is proposed that the dam be either moved from the south to tbe north side, or that the dike be raised two feet to obviate the danger. Tbe pilots bave baa practical experience with tbe obstructions in the Ohio, and it has been decided to have them attend the meetlntr to day to make n report of the snags and "riffles" in the Ohio. It appears that Colonel Merrill has carried on tbe work of dredging tbe river withont receiving any reliable information about where the most dangerons places are. and be asks ',that this meeting be called to as certain from the pilots where these places are. Bnsiuess about tbe levee was quiet, nothing being done outside the paoket business. Tbe pier mark registered six feet at 5 p. 11. There is no prospect of a rise. At the dam tbe river was three feat and one iucb. This Is a mate rial rise front tbe Drevlous day caused by heavy rains on the Allegheny. Arrivals, Adam Jacobs, Elizabeth and Ger manla. Departed.

The Mayflower fhl be cut down so she can pass under the bridges at Monongahela City and Brownsville. This , difficulty has prevented the boat from taking excursions that far. CAPTAIN Hocoir,Uf the Brownsville line, will take a mnch-needetl vacation. Tbe Cantaln bas been up to bis eyes in business for the past few months and will take a trip and recuperate. TnE Honongahelal Navigation Company has closed the big lock at No. 1. This will prevent a number of boats from getting up above that place, as the other lock Is too small to allow some of the boats to pass Thz Sam Brown was towed down by the Jim Brown yesterday from Brownsville, where she bas been on tbe dock being rcnalred. She looked as bright as a new dollar. While there she got a general overhauling. One of the worxmen engaged on the Hmlthfleld street bridge fell from the tOD into the river yes terday atternoon, and was only saved lrom drown ing by the prompt action of two other workmen who were on the flat In tne river.
