J The supply of cattle at Herr's Island varied rery little this week from last De mand -was light and markets were sluggish at 10c to 20e lower prices than last Monday. Following was the range: Best heavy Chicago beeves, 54 90 to 5 00; good to choice medium weights, $4 45 to 4 55; common to fair do, $3 95 to 4 05; prime lightweights or mill tidy butcher' cattle, 54 15 to 4 25; fair to good do, 53 65 to 3 75; low grade and mixed grasses, bulls, dry cows, etc, 52 25 to 3 25.

Drovers at Herr's Island complain very much of loss of weights between here and Chicago, and also of delays in transportation on Pitts burg and Western Railway. Stock that should have been at the yards Sunday night did not put in their appearance until 8 or 10 o'clock to uay, long after markets ere in full blast. The delay entailed heavy losses on shippers. At Woods' Run yards there were 192 head of cattle on the market, all from Chicago. In the offerings were a few primes, weighing from 1,400 to 1,500 ts. Market was more actire than last week and prices were steady. The ranee was 4 to 5c per , and yards were well cleaned up by noon at these prices. There were 821 head cf sheep and lambs on the market, and prices were as .follows: Sheep, 4c to 5c; yearlings, 5c to 5c; lambs from 5c to CJc per lb. The latter price was obtained for a lew extra, which weighed 90 E. There were no hoes on the market and no demand. The run of cattle at East Liberty was lighter than it has been for a number of weeks past. There were SO loads on the markets, against 135 loads last Monday, and 145 loads for the week before. Quality of offerings was poor, and there were few of the kind wanted in this mar ket, namely, liirht, tidy butcher beeves, weigh ing 1,000 to 1,200 Its. There were no strictly prime cattle on the market in carload lots, either light or heavy. One dealer reported a few loads of 1,300 toT,400-Ib cattle on sale, wbicli were fairly good, for which $4 25 to 54 45 was asked. Markets were strong at last week's prices for all common grades, and a shade higher for the better grades, owing to their great scarcity. Prime butcher cattle of light weight would have brought 10c to 20c better prices than prevailed last Monday. There were a few loads of heavy coarse cattle on tho market, tor which demand was very slow. The saving clause of markets to-day was tho com paratively light run. Supply of Sheep and Limbs. 'There was a very light run of sheep and lambs, the total being not more than 10 loads on to-day's market, against 25 loads last Mon day. Quality of offerings was only fair, and prices were a strong better than a week ago. At 9 o'clock the pens were cleared np. Follow ing was the range of prices: Sheep, 83i5Jic, and lambs, 45c A Mercer county dealer, who Is a regular visitor to the East Liberty yards, said to-day: "In our county the farmers are generally giving up cattle raising and turn ing their attention to sheep. There are not one fourth the cattle raised in Mercer county there were a half dozen years ago. While the quantity of lambs raised this season is large, quality is below average. The very wet spring and recent hot weather has lowered Quality, and most of the lambs are in poor condition.' There were about 25 loads of hogs on the market at East Liberty this morning. The situation was in buyer's favor. Markets were weak, with $4 as the top price. At Chicago the top price was S3 95. and receipts 18,000 head. In general the cattle and sheep markets showed improvement this week over the past few weeks, but swine were slow, with the tendency to lower prices. Br Telegraph.

The bull fever was on, and although the selling was sufficient to cause occasional reaction, the market recov ered from low est prices.

The opening was2JiSc higher, was steady for awhile and then eased off Jc, advanced Kc declined J C advanced Q and closed 8c higher for Sep tember and 2Jio higher for the December. The advance and buoyancy of tho market was attributed to the Government report, which, although not making as bad a showing for spring wheat as expected, the reduction sineetbe July report was estimated at 21,000, 000 bushels and the crop of winter and spring combined was estimated on Government per centages to be 76,000,000 bushels short of last year, or a crop of 414,000,000 bushels. Corn There was a good trade, the market ruling active and unsettled the greater part of the session. The firm opening was due largely to the strength in wheat and the Government crop report which Indicates a shortage of 625, 000,000 uushels.

Petroleum stagnant and Both of the Stock Calls Besult in Goose Eggs. THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE OiTI To the Financial Editor of The Dlspatoh: In an article on real estate in Friday's issue you speak with the positiveness of conviction that not only will present prices be maintained, but that there will be large advances, rendering sure, profits to present investors. "Will you please favor me with your rea sons for this prediction. If mere prediction, -it amounts to nothing. Eeal estate prophets have been sadlv deceived before now. Real estate is a dangerous realm in which to ex ercise the gift of prophecy. Then you can never prove a prophet true or false until the future has become the present. You say it is different now from 1870 odd. We are pursuing the same methods so closely that we are justified in pausing and taking br eath. It is trne that the brass band and free lunch have not reappeared. Wbon they come, the end may be reasonably foretold. A. LEQOATE. ALLEGHENY CITY, AngUSt 10. Reply The financial editor disclaims, once for all, having essayed the prophetic role. It was not upon him that Elijah's mantle or in fluence fell. Therefore he has never said that "There will be large advances" in real estate or anything else; but bo has said, and repeats the observation, that the outlook is favorable to the maintenance of present values and for gradual enhancement as the city grows in population and business. There is nothing akin to proph ecy in this. The conclusion is based upon a principle that pervades every department of business that demand regulates prices. Is there a demand for property in Pittsburg! The fact that there are practically no empty houses, business oresidence, shows conclusively that therejs. In addition to this, and affording further proof of the existence of a demand, the supply of houses is largely inadequate to the wants of the rapidly accumulating popula tion. This shortage Is at the bottom of the activity in building lines. When people can't rent they must build. It isn't considered the correct thing to live out of doors la thls'j country. These1 statements are based upon data In the V possession of almost every broker in real estate in the city. If an active demand for improve ment not speculative, ne indicative of weak ness, then the local real estate market is in a PTecarlous condition, and "the end may be reasonably foretold." But such a reversion of a fundamental business principle is impossible. Mr. J. Ledlie Glomnger, who was in Balti more a short time ago. said on his return that he saw at least 1,000 empty houses in that city, and that 91,000 a foot was about the average price on the principal street This means that Baltimore is overbuilt That real estate should be slow and weak under such a oondition is quite natural. The reverse would be astonish ing. InPittsbuig. where every house is occu pied and a demand for more, the price on the principal streets is from S2.000 to 14,000 a foot according to location. In a few instances S5.000 has been offered for corner property. Business -is the basis of value in both cities. Baltimore, with almost double the population of Pittsburg, occupies a secondary position in the Clearing House reports. There Is nothing remarkable in the fact, therefore, that real estate is higher here than there. The people cannot well be deceived. The ac tivities of Pittsburg are of a Kind that last They afford permanent employment and good wages for at least 150,000 persons, and this num ber Is being constantly added to by fresh acces sions from other cities and the surrounding country distriots. This great industrial move meat and growth of population project an ele ment of strength into the real estate market which gives it permanency and activity and furnishes a reasonable guarantee against a reac tion. Business News and Gossip. He who makes a blade of grass to grow where none grew before is a public benefactor, bnt he who buys a lot and builds on it is still more worthy of esteem. The progress of rapid transit in tho Wilkins bnrg district is causing building lots to be picked up fast There Is no danger of a famine, however. Rural fanners report that the rains of last week were the salvation of the vegetable crops. Prices will be lower but still above the average of recent years. The Washington, Pa., Saturday Evening Supper Table speaks in glowing praise of thu material progress of that bustling tqwn. Tho special improvement which it advocates is the conversion of FltzwUliam Qrove, on Gallows Hill, to a public park. The Pennsylvania Railroad reports that ths quantity of coal and coke originating on and carried over its lines east of Pittsburg and Erie, for the week endibg August 2, was 311,103 tons, of which 211,437 tons were coal and 99,669 tons coke. ' Treasury Department officials at Washing ton report an uncsual demand for small notes, and the supply nearly exhausted. Owing to the Printing Bureau being engaged in the prep aration and printing of the notes to be issned under the new silver bill, no addition to the present supply is expected for some time. C. L, Reno and W. H. Watt have returned from their summer outing and resumed busi ness where they left off. Earnings of 111 roads fer July Increased 82.- '558,127, or 8.S3 per cent Earnings of 69 roads for the fourth week In July gained 10.15 per cent This furnishes further evidence of steady growth in the volume of trade. Money In London is easier under a better condition of affairs at Buenos Ayrea. The political changes there are looked upon as favorable to a better order of things. The largest of 29 mortgages on file for record yesterday was for $5,500. Nine were for pur chase money. N Tho Kansas Railroad Commission has pro mulgated a tariff reduolng grain rates 30 per cent; and merchandise rates 10 per cent It is stated that the roads will fight it under the de cision of the Supreme Conrt in the Minnesota cases about equitable rates. m Movements In Real Estate.

MONETABiHOVEHENTS. A Quiet and Easy Market With No Change In Conditions, There was a quiet money market yesterday. Funds were easy at the customary rates and the demand for discounts moderate. Check ing was light for Monday, due to the depletion of the business element courting Moraus rather than Mammon, bnt depositing was fair. There was no change in conditions, except that furnished by the railroad strike. Its ef fect was depressing. Many financiers think the market has reached the period of greatest ease for the season.

The market opened at 93, the top, yesterday, and held there and thereabout nearly all day. In the last few minutes it broke to 92, which was the closing figure. The break was caused by realizing in Oil City, and Pittsburg bulls were not in a position to, stop it There was very little trading, not more than 6,000 or 8,000 barrels changing bands. Satur day's clearances were 88,000 barrels. Refined was down at Antwerp. The first statement of the Buckeye Pipe Line shows gross stocks to be 15,513,726 barrels. The receipts from the-wells were 1.105,881 barrels, and the deliveries 874,121 barrels. Featnrei of Yesterday' Oil Market. Correoted dally by John M.

The Effect Is Through tho List Money Rates Take nu TJpwnrd Run The Ynn derbilis Make Some Recovery, Nsw Yore, August 1L After the great ad vantages given the bears by the New York Central strike, the wiping out of the bank re serves, and the unusually severe drop in tho condition of all cereal crops in the past month, as Indicated by the Government crop report, they were Inclined to push their movement for lower prices to-day, and although there was un doubtedly considerable support given certain stocks, and the covering of shorts by the local operators waB of no m?an proportions, prices were forced off from K to 1 per cent through the list To tuls end there was again considerable manipulation of the money marker,and although the reserves are again down to a very low fig ure. In view of the present small pro portions, of the stock speculation, there conld be no legitimate demand which would run rates np to the height attained to day. The vigorous efforts of the officials of the New York Central to get things going again and the success which attended their struggles, bad the effect of pushing the Vanderbilt stocks from their prominent position as leaders of the downward movement which they occupied on Saturday, and more attention was given to the Grangers; while certain weak spots among tho specialties were not forgotten. Stocks re newed at high rates, however, and the demand n the loan crowd showed that the market taking into consideration the supply, was some what oversold, and after sufficient testing the pressure was again withdrawn, and dullness ana stagnation marked the late dealings, al though, owing to the apathy of the bull lead ers and the hesitation among would-be invest ors caused by the condition of the financial situation and the uncertainties still banging over the railroad situation, there was no effort made to bring about a rally. The early London figures were materially lower than ours of Saturday, and the pressure was renewed here so that the opening was gen erally at small fractions below the final figures of Saturday, while Lake Shore was down 1 per cent and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St Louis and Rock Island each. Outside of the specialties there was no further immediate material decline, and on an unusually large business the decline was soon checked and a rally inaugurated, in which the early losses were generally recovered. The recent unfavor able comments upon the coal trade, however, made Reading still a fair mark for the bears, and it failed to recover with tho rest of the list The Grangers also displayed considerable weak ness in the face of the general Improvement at the time. After the early liquidation it as com pleted, however, money began to 6tlffen rapid ly, and toward the close reached 25 per cent on call, with little oifering- Tho close was at 20 bid, without offers. Under the circumstances, the recovery could not be held and prices again shaded off, and the close of the market was heavy to weak while quiet- The af tornoon's de cline was marked by no wide movements out side of Sugar Hefinorles.hu t even the last named failed to make Its usual sharp fluctuations. The list is almost invariably lower this even ing, and St Paul is off 1. La,c.kawana 1 P cent Union Pacific IVi, ReadlnBl Delaware and HudBon 8&. Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and Bt Louis Ui, and Wheeling and 'Lake Erie. TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, preferred 1J. The transactions in railrtiad bond"! were extremely uninteresting, the busi ness dono being very small, while no marked change occurred and no feature of any kind was noticed. There was a general heavy tone, resulting in sllghtf ractional losses among the active issues, but dullness and apathy were tbe most marked characteristics of the trading. Government bonds have been dnll and strong er. State bonds have been entirely neglected. The Poit saj s: The high rates for money aro known to be, to a large extent, artificial, and when money was bid ud as high as 20 per cent last week, it was well known that some of tbe banks were at the same time offering large sums to any well-known commission house at 6 per cent on the ordinary collaterals, and on last Friday some such loans were made at 5 per cent Tbis forenoon money opened at 8 per cent and by 12:30 was bid up to 20 per cent, and though this caused a small fractional decline in stocks after 12 'o'clock, it was soon recov ered. On the other band, tbe announce ment made about 1 o'clock that freight was again moving out of the New York freight houses of the New York Central and that along tbe line of the road the only obstruction or fear of trouble was at Syracuse, undoubt edly stopped the selling of stocks and gave tbe market a firmer tone. So that it may be as sumed that if the strike cbnics to an end the stock market would not be pressed very much by rates for money. The difference in rates of interest between London and Now York is so great that it weakened the exchange market and this forenoon some of the Canadian banks in this city reduced their rates below the gold exporting point. The los3 of reserve by the banks last week was due to the gold exports of tbe previous ten days, but with the present rates for money it is not probable that any more gold will be exported very soon.

Dinners Aboat the Wharf Annmlug Their Old-Tlmo Aspect, Matters about the wharf assumed an old time liveliness yesterday, dne to the slight rise below the dam. It is not expected to be of long duration, however, and business will set tle down to its usual quietness until tbe end of the montb, unless there is another rise, when all the coal now in tbe harbor will be sent down. Ports Jielow have sufficient coal, it is stated, to tide them over the low-water season. Tbe first packet boat for nearly two months left for Wheeling and Parkersbnrg yesterday morning, carrying a fair-sized load of merchan dise. The river continues to drop. At 6 P.M. it was down to the 6-foot-10 mark, a fall of 5 inches in 24 hours. The Ohio likewise fell 4 inches. Below Davis Island the marks showed 4 feet 4, falling slowly. More coal was towed down from above during tbe dar, and by September there will be about 5.000.000 bnshels ready for the Cincin nati and Louisville markets.

ALL CEEEALS FIRM AT QUOTATIONS OFFICE OF PITTSBUBG DISPATCH, I Monday. August 11. 1880. 5 Country Prodnce Jobbing Prices. Mond ay's nsnal quietness prevailed. Prices were es sentially the same as at the close of last week. Advices from the far West point to a ver y short crop of potatoes. A year ago at this time potatoes were a drnc in Kansas and Iowa , and large quantities from these States were brought to this city. Now the boot is on the other leg, and Kansas dealers are inquir ing as to prices of potatoes with a view fo buy in;; at tbis point A Liberty street commis sion merchant was advised by a Kansas corre spondent to-aay that potatoes were almost an entire failure in that section by reason of drought and that prices there -weip already '51 SO per bushel, against less than 23c per buohel at this time last year. Bald tbis produce merchant: "From present ontlook potatoes will be higher tbe coming fall and winter than they have been for 20 years or more. From all sections of country our advices are that crop is unusually light At present prices I would be glad to engage all the potatoes I could get for winter stock. There is no article of diet more essential to the wants of the common consumer than tbe potato, and 1 fear tbey will be com pelled to pay more for this article tbe coming winter than ever before."

Hay is scarcely as firm as it was a weei ago; a fact due to timely rains, which have improved pasturage. At the Grain Exchange to-day, resolutions presented by Mr. John Wood were unanimously adopted, urging upon Congress tho importance nf an appropria tion at tho present session sufficient to com plete the postoffi.ee building at tho earliest practicable moment.

How They Were Rescued by ihe Catarrh Specialists at 323 Penn Avenue. Miss Emma Ebrhardt 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 slio was almost constantly hawking and spitting. Her throat became very sote and M us Emma Mr. Hem y L. Ehrhardt. EnrhardL there was scarcely a day that she wis not hoarse. As some of this catarrhal poison extended to the bronchial tnbes of her lungs she felt a tightness and weight in her chest She coughed badly, and as her disease further advanced she felt very weak and tired all tbe time. She could get but little sleep and felt tired and worn ont In the morning. In her weak condition every change of weather would give her a cold. Herappettto failed, and sbe had belching of gas and a nauseous, sick feeling at her stomach after eating, and sbe bad a bad taste in her mouth every morning. Her brother, Mr. Henry L. Ehrhardt, also suffered from catarrh. Whiln be bad many of the above symptoms, the disease so affected his head that be became quite deaf. He had a stropping of catarrhal mucus from bis bead into his throat, where it became very tenacious and hard to expectorate. As tbey were per sonally acquainted with Mrs. Bratt, whose por trait appeared in this paper a few weeks since, and knew of ber 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, tbey add: ,To Whom it May Concern: "We gladly testify that the above history of our cases is true, a.id that we have been cured as stated. In proof we hereby sign nnr names. "HENRY L. EHRHARDT." "EMMA EHRHARDT." Remember the place, 323 Penn avenue. Office hours. 10 A. M. to 4 P. M and 6 to 8 P. X. Sundays. 12 to 4 P. M.
