( There were onloads of cattle on the mar ket at East Liberty Monday morning, a drop of more than CO loads from the pre vious Monday. Since the beginning of the week there have been received abont 10 loads, making the total 90 loads. Markets opened strong on Monday morning at an adrance of 10 to 15c per cwt. The quality of offerings was only fair. Strictly prime beeres were conspicuously absent. There were a few loads of good heavy cattle,weigh ing trom 1,400 to 1,450 lbs., which brought from $4 25 to H 60 per cwt. Light tidy batcher cattle sold at a range of Zyic to iyc The latter were scarce and demand exceeded supply. In the offerings were a good many cows and heifers, which ranged in price from 2ye to 5c per lb. About one-third of the receipts this week were from Chicago. Buyers from tne Eastern Pennsylvania conn ' ties were present in larger number than usual, and there was more Inquiry for stockers and feeders than there has been for some weeks past. Exporters and good shippInR beeves were not in supply equal to demand on Monday. There were four loads on the market this morn in&but these were fresh animals.Monday's offer ings were disposed of at an advance all along the line on orices of last week. Calves were In Good supply, but those offered were mostly common and low (Trade. The range of prices was lc to 5Xc per ft. e?becp. Limbs and Swlnr. There were about a dozen loads of sheep and lambs un the market at the beginning of the week, and as many more have been received Fince. Receipts were in the main from Ohio. Quality was only fair. There were very few primes offered. The better grades of sheep are withheld from the market. Besides, the quality of sheep and lambs Is reported below average this season owing to wet spring and hot sum mer. Markets opened Monday morning a strong lie hielier lor sheep and Jc to Kc higher for lambs. The ranee for sheep was 4;c to 5c. with one deck of extra fine in which were a good many yearlings selling at 5 35. The only department of the live stock trade which showed no improvement this week was the swine department. A large proportion of those offered were grassers. which were slow at a range of J3 50 to J3 65. Selected fed hogs bronght from SI 00 to H 10. There have been about 85 loads on the market this week, nnd the sit uation has been favorable to the buyer. The top price quoted this morning was H 05. One of onr leading pork packers was advised by his Chicago buyer to-day that receipts ot hogs there this morning were 25.000 head, and that top prices ranged from S4l 10. From this it appears that prices are about the same at East Uberty and Chicaco. whereas there is usually a difference of 1520c per cwt. McCnll fc Co.'. Weekly Review. The receipts of cattle light.

The In fluences governing the market were of the same character as noted recently, but naa a more telling effect Trading is getting more general and the public is taking a hand at epecnlation. While the offerings were liberal at tiroes, the demand was sufficient to prevent any material decline until just near the close when the selline of a large line of long wheat broke prices 2c However, the premium for December over September was further reduced and ranged from 3JJ4c down to 2c, and closed at SXc premium. , , .

SpecnlatiTe Interests on Their Feet, With a Good Showing of Activity. THE HEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITI Mr. C. T. Beeckman, of Anderson & Beeckman, Lira., who has just returned from a trip to tho seashore, stopped off at Philadelphia on his way home to see what the chances were in that city for obtaining "cheap" money. Alter considerable skir mishing around among the moneyed men he succeeded in securing 550,000 at 4 per cent and promise of more, if needed, at the same rate. This money will be invested in East End property. During the negotiations Mr. Beeckman dropped Into the ofilce of one of the leading financial institutions of the metropolis ot Penn sylvania. The official in charge wanted to know why Flttsburgers had to come East for cheap money. Mr. Beeckman replied that they were wideawake and wouldn't think ot accept ing 5Jf or 6 per cent except In rare cases, when by judicious investments, opportunities for which were lying around loose, they could easily make from 8 to 10 out of it The head of another big concern visited by Mr. Beeckman said they had 1,000,000 lying In bank without interest for the reason that the directors wouldn't consent to loaning It outside of Philadelphia or Philadelphia county, and there was no demand there for it They would be glad to get 4 per cent for it If they conld place It on good home property. He added that an effort wonld probably be made the coming fall to enlace the investment area so as to in clude Pittsburg. Mr. Beeckman remarked, in concluding his statement: "It is refreshing to get back to Pittsburg, where everything shows life and bustle. These present a strong contrast to the semi-stagnation which prevails in the "City of Brotherly Love." Buslneta Niwi and Gonlp, Buildings erected in Pittsburg last year cost about 5,000,000. Thl record will be beaten this year by at least 3,000,000. Truly, the city is growing. John Timmons, of Pine township, was in the city yesterday to satisfy the mortgage on his farm of 2,00u. He says farmers in his neigh borhood will do better this year than they ex pected. Crops for tne most part are light, but the market Is higher than for several years, fully offsetting the short yield. Of 32 mortgages on file for record yesterday the largest was for 25.000, given by John A McKeetotbe Pennsylvania Company for in surance. Ten were for purchase money. It frequently occurred last year that the clearings dropped below 2,000,000, which has not happened so far this year. This is the re sult of business expansion. If local stocks hold their own without orders, what will they do with orders? The reasona ble answer to this question is that tbey will boom, and this is what the brokers expect The short interest in the stock market ac cording toVermilyeACo. is still excessively large. It is computed at 100,000 shares. Several hundred cheap lots will soon be pnt on the market on the Sonthslde and down the Fort Wayne Railroad. People of limited means need not fear that the supply will soon be exhausted. A prominent member of the Cotton Exchange said yesterday that the crop this year will not fall short of 7,250,000, which means that the yield will eqnal that of 1SS9 SO. Building is very active at Copeland and Mills station, adjoining Braddock. These places a few years ago consisted ot a brickyard and an orchard. The course of the short-cat railroad to Home stead has not been definitely settled. It de pends, en the snecess or failure of one or two real estate deals which will not come to a bead for several weeks. Movements In Renl Estntr.

The course of fluctuations was: Opening. 91c; highest, 91K; lowest and closing, 90c. Lima oil sustained a little boom, a sale or two being made at 40c. and 40!4cwasDld for more.

LULL ANU LIFELESS, With the Accompaniment of DrooplntT Figures Speculation In Silver Cer tificates Drops Oct Money Jumps Upward. Nevt Yoke. August 13 The activity and strength In tho stock market yesterday dlsap pe ared entirely to-day, the dealings sinking back into the late prevalent stagnant and list less condition. In the stock market to-day the demand from the shorts was lacking, and while the foreigners were not disposed to fol low up their purchases of yesterday, there was no disposition to press" stocks for sale; The market therefore, notwlthstandlngthematerlal advances in London, again became dull and lifeless, with the usual accompaniment of drooping figures. The waiting was principally caused by the interest in the pew law and the announcement that the prices at which silver will be offered or accepted will not be made public, met with some adverse comment The speculation in silver certificates at the Stocc Exchange sud denly became dormant, and where the trans actions of late have rnn np into the hundreds of thousands of ounces, a few bids and offers comprised the business done to-day. The strength of yesterday was carried over to this morning especially as the early London figures were so strong, to which only a partial response was made. That the demand had been satisfied, however, soon became apparent and whilo London did purchase a small line of stocks, it failed to support the market after the first few minutes' trading. Money was also markod up again, though it did not come within many per cent of Its extreme height tbe past days, but it had the effect of ragging the price off slowly in all portions of tbe list. Dull ness and stagnation, however, resume their sway in the market and, after the first hour, there was little change in quotations outside of a few specialties. Canada Pacific was the strong point on tbe list, andit scored a material advance, while cotton oil receipts developed marked weakness though a portion of the loss was recovered. There was a slight rally In the last few mlnntes as a reaction from the depression made by the strike upon the Delaware and Hudson, which dropped that stock 1) per cent and the cloe was dull but firm at small frac tions under first prices but close to the lowest of the day. Tbe final changes show consider able irregularity with a slight predominance of losses and the only important one was the ad vance of 1VX In Canada Pacific. Railroad bonds were still unll and qnlte feat ureless the changes in quotations remaining Insignificant with but few exceptions The sales were only 691,000, and while Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern firsts rose 2, to 98. Chicago and East Illinois consols 2. to 12LanU Hocking Valley 6s 2, to 87. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and featureless The Post says the money question is now tbe most important factor, and up to 2 o'clock to day the market merely waited to see what, if any, wonld be tbe effect of the inauguration of tbe purchases of silver under the new law, and whether there was any immediate prospect of a large purchase of bonds by the treasury. Silver bullion certificates were not traded in at all until after 2 o'clock, whenMbere was a few sales at 1 12 It was understood In the forenoon that no report of tbe amount of silver purchased by the treasury to-day would be made until 4 o'clock, and it was this that stopped the trading in certificates for tbe day.

There is considerable talk being indulged in at present abont river pilots organizing a stock company and purchasing all the towboats en gaged in the Lower Ohio ratting business. The scheme is as yet in its infancy, but from what is said at Louisville it is almost certain to be a go. It is proposed to purchase tbe boats and operate them by this gigantic stock company. It Is estimated that the talked ot gobble will cost over 500,000 to the some 200 pilots who are counted upon as promoters of the plan. The plan seems perfectly feasible and the local pilots who are interested in tbe combine talked enthusiastically yesterday. They requested that their names be withheld as tbey don't want to be known to be in tbe deal If it falls through, but from what they say there is not tbe least likelihood of this happening, as they look npon the idea as a very good one. This is about the most opportune time to make this move. If tbe river pilots seriously contem plate it, as boats can be had for a great deal less than it cost to build them. Business was pretty lively about tbe levee yesterday. A dense fog settled over the harbor .early in tbe day, which put a damper on busi ness nntil about noon, when it lifted. Tbe The river fell slightly during the night, and was on the 6 feet 10 inch mark at 6 p. t. At Davis Island the register showed 3 feet 3 inches below the lock gate. Arrivals Vovager, Elizabeth; James O. Blaine and Uermania. Departed Blaine. Elizabeth, and Germania leave to-day for Brownsville and way landings at 8.30 A. x.; Adam Jacobs for Morgantown, 8 P. st; Ger ' mania for Elizabeth; Nellie Hudson No. 2. Driftwood. The Thos. "W. Means will have her machinery enlarged. The Ida Budd grounded with a tow of empties at Guyan yesterday. "W ore will be commenced ralslne the John B,, which sunk at Vevay last week. Tub Germania was delayed on her morning trip yesterday on account or the dense fog. Tne Mayflower will take the Patriotic Sons out to-day upon the placid waters of the Mononca- neia. It Is now almost a certainty that tbe Ohio Con necting Bridge span will be swung Into position to-morrow. Tub Thomas Sherlock laid up at Cincinnati last night for reualrs, tbe Tacoma taking her place in tbe Chllo trade. Tbe Mayflower was busy carrying Sunday School people from Locust street to McKee's Bocks yesterday to attend a picnic. TUB Voyager returned with tbe Charley Brown's tow yesterday from below; the Brown cannot come up as It draws more water than Is in the Ohio. The Nellie Hndson will take the place of the Elizabeth to-day. . The latter will take an excur sion party from Monougahela City to Morgan town. Caftadt S. S. Gbahau and wife returned from an extended trip through the West yesterday and stopped at the Monongahela Bouse before going to Brownsville. CAPTAIK I. W. Gbcbbs has arrived at Cincin nati, and ordered work to be commenced raUlna; the Toms Boss, which sunk near Cincinnati a few days ago. It is expected she will be floated again to-day. The Beturn had two flats loaded with large pipe yesterday. An old time river man said that the appearance of the Ueturn steaming up tbe harbor forcibly reminded him or the time he was In Mo bile Bay during the lron-clads' engagements. Cattain Kichabo Wall, a retired river Cap tain and a well-known resldenter of the South side, died at his home on West Carson street yes terday. Captain Wall had successfully battled with life's waves for 86 years and until recently was actively engaged in the river business. He was well known and all who knew the veteran prized his friendship highly, THE Cincinnati papers announce the arrival In that city of W. W. O'Nell. and state that It Is cur rently reported there that Captain O'Hell Intends going ont of the coal business, which they deplore very feelingly. His many friends will regret his departure from the river business, but time will develop whether the many friends of Billy O'Nell have not been a little previous In expressing their regrets. LATE MEWS IN BRIEF. Imports of foreign merchandise at San Francisco during July were valued at over $1,000,000. Tbe work of the census enumerators shows tbe population of Maine to be 668,453, an in crease of 8,500 since 1880. Of the 400 striking mail carriers at London the Postmaster General has decided that only 60 shall be reinstated. Hyman Isaacs was arrested in Chicago for cloak stealing in New York. It Is believed he secured $5,000 worth, having $1,000 worth with him. Samuel Ford, an attorney 65 years old. threw himself before a train at Leesburg and was killed. Death of a son and financial trouble caused it Troops have arrived at Cloquet Minn., and it is believed decisive action will have to be taken to suppress the strikers, who aTe deter mined not to yield. Mrs. Anna Beatty, of Bay View, Mich., died in horrible agony from tbe production of macgots by a fly getting into her nose, which she could not remove at once. Tbe steamship Teutonic, of the White Star Line, has smashed all records. Tbe ,veasel made the run from Roche's Point to Sandy Hook in 5 days 19 hours and 6 minutes. The Supervisor of the Census authorizes the statement that in round numbers the pres ent population of Vermont is 833,000. Tbe census return of 1880 gave tbe population aa 832,286. Monslenr Lardeau, director of the Central Observ itory of Pari a, is in Montreal on a mission from his Government to report upon Canadian phosphate with the view to importing for use on exhausted wheat lands in France. A general strike of employes in the snip ing and railways business is imminent at Dune din, N. Z., because those companies handle goods of a firm against which a boycott had een declared because it would not discharge women from its employ. . The availability of the Lake Front Park site for the World's Fair is now disputed. It is said to be doubtful whether Secretary Proc tor will allow the fillinc of tbe lake front to tbe Government breakwater, as It would require great expenditure by tbe Government to con struct another harbor, and it would have to be at a less desirable location. Summer Complaint. A druggist at Britt, Hancock county, la., relates his experience with this disease as follows: During tbe summer of 1882 my little girl, 2 years oi age, was taken seriously ill with lunimer complaint, so common to children of that age, and after being treated by a physician and getting no better, I took from my shelves a bottle oi Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Bemedy. She ielt relieved after the first dose, and in three days was entirely well. ALEX Moib. Thsu A Problem Solved. Every housekeeper who seeks economy and studies the problem practically, will use Walker's "Wax Soap. If you use it once, yon will always use it. 011,13,14,18 DOMESTIC MARKETS.

Fancy Elgin creamery is up lc per pound from our last report. Some dealers report prices at 25c. .Nothing, however, has oeen sold In Job lots above 23c, and. If more than 21c Is paid this week, tbe buyer will pay more than the actual value. Two leading dealers reported that tbey had sold no creamery bntter above 23o in a jobbing way up to this time. Ohio cheese is very firm at an advance. Stock of cheese Is very light in the bands of jobbers. Shippers are withholding stock in the faith of better prices. In vegetable lines tomatoes show an upward tendency. Markets are active athigher prices than have prevailed for a week past. There Is a good supply of grapes, and markets are steady. Cantaloups and watermelons are quiet. Markets have been very bare of lemons for a few day. and prices have advanced. The scarcity is thought by dealers to be only tem porary. Potatoes are steady at q notations, and while the view of commission men varies as to fnture of prices, the tone of markets Is strong. APPLES $4605 SO a barrel.
