At Woods' Knn and East Liberty.
Markets opened sluggish at Woods' Bun
yards and sales were only made by ruinons
concessions. There were 175 head of cattle on
the market, some of which were close to prime,
weighinc 1,400 to 1,500 lbs. The range of prices
was3Jcto 5c All were sold, bnt some of
those which were unloaded at 5c would have
brought 5Jc a few w eeks ago.
There were 421 sheep and lambs on the mar
ket. Lambs were sold at 5c to (SJic. Extra
fine yearlings weighing 110 lbs were sold at 3c to
fie The range for sheep was Jl 50 to $5 40.
ne offerings ot hoes were 33 head. Prices
ranged from J4 15 to El 25. The cost of stock at
sources of supply was about the same this
week as last, but prices here were a shade
lower.
There were abont l&jloads of cattle on market
at Cast Liberty against 145 last week and 160
the week before. The bulk of those on the
market were common to fair stock. There
were no heavv primes offered and very few
light primes. There has been no call for heavy
prime cattle of late at these yards and hence
none are sent. There were probablv a dozen
loads of heavy coarse cattle on the market, and
about a half dozen loads of tidy, light butchers
stock, such as our market calls for. The latter
belnc in short supply, prices held np fairly well
to those of last week. All other grades were
dnll and slow at a decline of 15 to 20 per cent.
Buyers were present in reasonable force, bnt
seeing iheir advantage, by reason of large runs
of common stock, they were slow to take hold,
and markets were very slow at the opening.
The extremelv hot weather has evidently had
a depressing influence on trade the past few
days. Fmspes were cood for extensive ship
ments of cattle East in first hands. There wag
.not so large a run of cows as last Monday, but
quality of those offered was very low. and mar
ket was slow. About 200 head of calves were
on sale, and demand was slow, with 1c to 4c
as the range for vealers and 2c to So for
grassers.
Sheep. Lamb and Mvlrr.
There were about 25 loads of sheep and lambs
on the market, and quality was below recent
average. About S loads of Missouri stock were
offered, of generally low grade. Markets
opened heavy at a decline of 15 to 25c from
prices or a week ago. There were few if any
primes offered. The ranee for lambs, which
were too plenty, was 4 to 5Ja The outside
price for sheep was 6c, and only very choice
reached this figure. The hog market was slow
with S3 90 to SI 00 as the top price. There were
about 21 loads on the market. Hot weather
bas bad a depressing influence on pork of late.
It is difficult to see how drovers can woik with
profit in the present condition of markets. The
drift has been downward for some weeks past,
and margins must be very narrow to the
drover.
The absence of many of the best buyers,
butchers say. has very much curtailed demand
for their stuff, and this, with the intense heat
.if the past week, bas diminished demand for
live stock. The cattle dealer is now at his most
trying time of the year.

CHICAGO Wheat A moderate business
was transacted to-day. The opening was firm
and early sales-Qc above Saturday's closing,
then became weak and declined 11KC. again
became Arm, prices advancing Sc, and the
closing was about 2c higher than Saturday's
closing figures. The market opened strong on
the large decrease of 520.000 bushels In the
stock of wheat at Minneapolis. But reports of
rain and colder weather, together with the de
cline in corn, with which the market has sym
pathized some, influenced a weaker feeling,
and the decline above noted occurred. But
operators got short on the decline, and when
they wanted to cover the market generally re
covered, the late advance being assisted some
by the reported buying by exporters at the sea
board and the buying of a, prominent local
trader here.
Corn was active and the feeling prevailing
was weaker early, but later ruled very much
stronger. The weaker tone was due to reports
of rains. Good rains were reported throughout
the corn belt west and southwest of here. The
opening was weak and off 11KC compared
with the closing prices of Saturday, and gradu
ally declined KlKc rallied, advancing l
lc, ruled steady and closed Klc lower than
Saturday.
Oats were active but unsettled. The early
weakness in wheat and corn caused a de-
Siressed feeling, and opening sales were at J4
,c decline, and a further depression of c
was recorded. This brought in fair buying,
and toward the close the advance in wheat
prodnced an advance of Xlc from opening
figures. This was followed by a recession to
about previous Inside prices and in turn by a
rally of lc, and the market closed steady.
Mess Pork Trading was only moderate.
Prices declined 2025c early, but rallied 25
30c and closed steady.
Lard A moderate easiness was transacted
Early in the day prices receded 25c. At the
close prices rallied 57c, and closed compara
tively steadv.
Short Rib Sides Quite a good trade was re
ported. Price at the opening were about 10c
lower, rallied 7c on near deliveries and 12Xc
on January delivery, and extreme figures were
fully supported to the close.

THEAIRWE'BREATHE
Pillsburff Builders Should Giro Close
Attention to Ventilation.
SOME MISTAKES POINTED OUT.
Stocks and Petroleum All Bight aa to Tone,
but Easiness Hangs Fire.
THE HEWS ABD GOSSIP OP THE CITI
The activity in the building trades in
Pittsburg and vicinity, and the rapid mul
tiplication of "homes for the people" make
tbe subject of ventilation one of supreme
importance, and certainly nothing connect
ed with home life should reeeive more in
telligent attention. An authority on this
subject says that the mere supply of warmed
fresh air to the rooms is not enough; for if
the air in the room has no escape it does not
take long, whatever the fresh air supply,
before the vitiated air contaminates and
makes foul tbe air as it enters tbe apartment.
To open the windows is the remedy which the
uninitiated at once suggest, and. in fact, in
most houses this is the only palliative at hand.
It Is, however, one of the first principles of
ventilation that the windows must not enter as
an expedient In a properly ventilated build
ing the windows should never be open when
people are in the rooms, at least In tbe winter
months. For opening the windows secures the
admission of cold air in bulk, but does not re
move the foul air, and more especially canses
pneumonia-giving draughts, and chills tbe
room, and in this way more damage is done
than even by tbe presence itself of vitiated air
In the rooms.
A warm or a hot room does not necessarily
signlfyan impnre atmosphere, for we may have
a room cold and the atmosphere still be terribly
impure. The unthinking never take this into
account, and are apt to confnse the term warm
and Impure, and the term cold with pure at
mosphere so far as tbe rooms they are in are
concerned. The proper way to remove the
vitiated air is by means of vent-dpets, or ver
ticle fines leading from the rooms to tbe roof of
the building.
For private homes and dwellings, natural
ventilation suffices. For public buildings and
large halls, either the fan or tbe steam system
shonld be preferably adopted. The gas jets
give out comparatively little additional heat
but are inexpensive in first cost, and in running
expense. -
Business News Bnd Goaslp.
The weather was too hot yesterday for
hnstling. Several persons dickering for build
ing sites in the suburbs refused to go out to ex
amine them.
A few of the members of Bmlthfleld M. E.
Church are in favor of selling tbe building and
putting up one in a more retired location, but
the large majority will not listen to tbe propo
sition. The building and lot would readily
bring $200,000.
It is tbonght tbe completion of the Dalzell
building will infuse new life into that part of
the city. Hints are occasionally thrown out
that the opposite corner on Fourth and Grant
will be improved.
Mortgages on file for record yesterday num
bered 34, The largest was for S6.000. The next
In size was $5,000. Nine were for purchase
money.
There was considerable speculation in silver
certificates in New York yesterlav, but not so
much as on Friday and Saturday. The opening
price was 113.
The short-cut railroad will have to take some
other route to Homestead than through Cal
vary Cemetery, which will not be sold under
any circumstances. It was bought for use and

everycitizen.lt would be a violation of every
business principle for real estate to react.

A Moderate Business and a Good Clearing
House Report.
Business at tbe banks, as well as everywhere
else, suffered from the intense heat during tbe
greater part of yesterday; and the demand for
accommodations was therefore moderate.
Funds were abundant and rates steady, at 6 per
cent as the rule, and no signs of a change.
The Clearing House report was favorable,
due to the large trade on Saturday. Ex
changes were $2,747,140 7L and balances $497.

Henry Clews says: "The present position of
silver fully verifies my early predictions in
reference to it when tbe silver bill was under
discussion in Congress, At that time a great
many people supposed to be authorities were
persistent in their predictions that in the event
of the passage of the silver act this country
would become tbe dumping ground for all the
surplus silver in tbe world, and predicted great
disaster therefrom. I was fully as pronounced,
however, in giving my opinion that there was
no surplus silver held anywhere, and conse
quently there was no cause for apprehension
from that quarter."
SAVED lis CREDIT.
A Few Trades In Oil berve to Hake s Quota
tion. There was only one fluctuation in tbe oil mar
ket yesterday. It opened and closed at 89.
That was also the highest and lowest figure.
The feeling was rather firm. It is the general
opinion among brokers that the market will be
in good shape by the 15th to give Lima a fair
sendoff.
Nothing was done in the forenoon, and it be
gan to look as if the record would be a goose
egg. but a few buyers came to the front in the
last hour or two and some small trades were
made, establishing a quotation and saving tbe
session from failure. Saturday's clearances,
as pested, were 104,000 barrels.

BETTER TIMES AHEAD.
Wall Street Operators Predict a Large In
crease In Speculative Business Un
easiness Regarding Railroad
Rate and Gold Shipments.
New York, August 4. Tbe disposition to
await developments is &U paramount in Wall
street, and tbe stook market, even under the
most favorable conditions, shows no sign that
there is to be a revival of Interest in specula
tion or an increase in business. Shrewd opera
tors, however, are credited with tbe utterance
of optimistic opinions on that point, and tbey
say that the men, the money and the stocks
are here, and when the times are ripe there
will be seen tbe greatest speculation tbe street
has ever seen. In the meantime the rather
mixed condition of tbe railroad rates, notwith
standing that tbe returns from the traffic at
present are most enconraging. Is one of the
most efficient causes in creating the feeling of
hesitation and tbe universal disposition to
make no further move until the situation is a
little clearer. Tbe gold exports also continue,
and there is a well defined fear that tbe design
of the Bank of England Is to draw still more
gold, for. which this country offers tbe only
available sunply at present. At the same time,
while the bullish feeling i very pronounced
upon American siocks in Lonaou, tne oonm
American muddle prevents any appreciation
of any kind of securities in that market.
Local operators are more bullish than during
the past two months, but are affected by uncer
tainty, and prominent commission brokers ad
vise waiting for the present. The bank state
ment of Saturday was, a great deal of a disap
pointment to the advocates of higher figures,
and further engagements of gold were made for
export wuay. iuve tue oears anotner op
portunity, and they selected tbe Missouri Pa
cific and Atchison to bear tbe brunt of the at
tack. The talk of a scarcity on the corn crop
of Kansas, and hints of a possinle failure to
pay the interest on the Atchison incomes, to
gether with tbe recent passage of tbe dividend
upon San Francisco first preterred stock, were
tbe impelling causes for the attack. Both of
the stocks were forced oft about 1 per cent,
but Sugar was strong, and held the decline In
the general list in check, and, notwithstanding
that special efforts were made to get St. Paul
and Rock Island down, they were maintained
at close to the opening prices, the gain in earn
ings In the first named being a factor in tho
strength displayed. Further gold exports added
their mite to the depresring influences, how
ever.and, late in the day, after a material im
provement bad been scored from tbe lowest
point, money Decame apparently scarce, and
rates on call were run up to 8 per cent at tbe
close. Missouri Pacific felt tbe last lnfluencn
most, and retired to the lowest figure while
others again declined slightly. Tho close was
barely steady, generally at small fractions be
low first prices.
A comparison of railroad earnings reported
to-day with those of tbe corresponding week of
last year shows that Pittsburg and Western
alone scored a decrease, while Iowa Central
increased 21 per cent, Toledo, Ann Arbor and
North Michigan 25, Lake Erie and Western
27, Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City 18. St.
Paul 9 and Milwaukee and Northern 18, Sugar,
AtchUon, Missouri Paciflc and St. Paul being
tbe active stocks. Missouri Pacific is down
VH per cent and Sugar is up 1, but the rest
show generally fractional losses for the .day.
Railroad bonds were more active, but sym
pathized slightly with the depression in stocks,
and most of tbe few important changes this
evening, although as usual, some of the in
active ls-ues show material advances! Tbe de
clines, however, were void of a feature and the
great majority of tbe list were steady and re
mained unchanged.
Government bonds have been dull and
steady. State bonds hare been entirely ne
glected. The .Post says the engagement of $1,500,000
gold for export, the reduction In east-bound
rates from the Missouri river to Chicago, a de
crease in Rock Island earnings and the close of
tbe London market to-day all helped to make
lower prices for stocks here, and the net result
for tLe day was a decline of Ji to 1 percent
from Saturday's closing. The highest prices
were made at the opening and tbe lowest in the
half hour to 11 o'clock, with a small recovery
in the afternoon," tbe close having been dull,
but steady to firm. The Grangers and South
western were tbe features throughout the day.

OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
MONDAT, August 4, 189tt
Conntry Produce Jobbing Prices.
Monday is one of the off days iu this depart
ment, and trade to-day was in the quiet order,
Markets are bare of choice grades of creamery
butter, and prospects are for higher prices.
The late advance iu New York cheese is fully
sustained. Eggs are dull and a shade lower,
owing to large receipts of Western stock. Tbe
hot weather of the past few days has resulted
in a glut of over-ripe bananas, and prices have
become nominal. Prices to-day were 50cfl 60
'a bunch. Grapes and tomatoes on the market
have been well cooked by old Sol the past few
days, and large quantities are little good. Po
tatoes, both Irish and sweet, are quiet and a
shade lower. Hot weather is decidedly un
favorable to tbe consumption of cabbage, and
supply in this line exceeds demand.

ABR0THERAID SISTER
THE DANGEROUS CONDITION
AND MISS EHRHARDT.
OF MR.
How They Were Rescued by the Catarrh
Specialists at 323 Penn Avenue.
Miss Emma Ehrhardt, a well-known young
lady who lives at 73 Sedgwick street, Alle
gheny, has for years been a great sufferer from
catarrh.
Her throat seemed to be always filled with
phlegm and she was almost constantly hawking
and spitting. Her throat became very sore and
M its Emma Mr. Hent y L.
Ehrhardt. EnrhardL
there was scarcely a day that she wu not
hoarse.
As some of this catarrhal poison extended to
the bronchial tubes of ber lungs she felt a
tightness and weight in her chert She coughed
badly, and as her disease further advanced she
felt very weak and tired all the time. She
could get but little sleep and felt tired and
worn out in tbe morning.
In her weak condition every change of
weather would give ber a cold. Her appetite
failed, and she had belching of gas and a
nauseous, sick feeling at her stomach after
eating, and she had a bad taste in her mouth
every morning.
Her brother. Mr. Henry L. Ehrhardt. also
suffered from catarrh. Whilnhehadmaoyof
the above symptoms, the disease so affected
his head that he became quite deaf. He bad a
dropping of catarrhal mucus from his head
Into bis throat, where it became very tenacious
and hard to expectorate. As they were personally-acquainted
with Mrs. Bratt, whose por
trait appeared in this paper a few weeks since,
and knew of her permanent cure by the physi
cians of tbe Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute,
at 323 Penn avenue, they decided to take a
course of treatment, and after becoming cured,
for the benefit of others who suffer from
catarrh, they add:
.To Whom It May Concern:
"We gladly testify that the above history of
our cases is true, and that we have been cured
as stated. In proof we herebv sign onr names.
"HENRlf L. EHRHARDT."
