At Woods' Run nnd Gnat Liberty. The offerings of cattle at the Woods' Run yards were 258 head, of which 172 bead were from Ohio and the balance from Chicago. Of the Ohio cattle there were two loads of bigh grade, weighing close to 1,500 ibs., which were sold at 6c per lb.

There were six to eight loads of good heavy cattle on the market from Ohio and Indiana, for which $4 50 to $4 75 was asked, but it was somewhat doubtful at 9 o'clock whether this Snce could be obtained.

A QUIET HINT TO ARCHITECTS. Trading in Buckeye Oil Certificates Starts Off With a Seal Boom. THE SEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE C1TI So far only two bids have been received by Mr. C. L. Davis (Alvin Jortyn) for his new Theater on Sixth street, showing" that Pittsburg builders are a little slow- or are too fall oi business to undertake more. The latter is no donbt the reason. The time for closing the bids has, therefore, been ex tended 30 days, which will expire Septem ber 10. It is understood that Mr. Davis has made a few changes from the original plan, which will add somewhat to the cost of the building. , A Bint to Architects. Everything relating to "homes for the people" is of interest in Pittsburg, where building is on the jump. Here is a sugges tion contributed by the oldest real estate broser in the city a man who has charge of several hundred houses, and knows how the public pulse beats: "Architects would do well to direct the at tention of builders to tbe erection of small, compact, yet spacious and modern houses, with a view more to use than fine external appear ance. The majority of the smaller houses are built at too great a cost merely to make a good impression when viewed from tbe outside. More care should be taken of tbe interior, with a view to comfort and economy." . Asrlenlmrnl Flcnlcp.

Tbe Trade in Carriages Considering the drawbacks of the early part of tbe season, carriage makers and dealers have reason to be satisfied with tbe amount of business, if not with the profits realized. Dur ing the spring months the heaviest shipments of carnages for the year are made, and from May 1 to August 1 the aggregate of deliveries to customers is .the largest, the briskest period being the last two weeks of July, especially in tbe country. Tbere was not such a marked rush then as nsual: but the trada in pleasure vehicles has kept up well since and made a good average the country over. The same may be said as to tbe demand for farm wagons and heavy vehicles. Judging by the grumbling of dealers, prices have not been so satisfactory as they were a year ago. As this is the time for the yearly lull, the movement Is light. Business Newe and Gossip Seven buildings are in course of construction in tbe principal business part of the city, the aggregate-cost of which approximates $1,000, 000. A Liberty street produce dealer. Just home from the West, says the potato crop is light all all through that part of the country. This confirms previous reports. Fifty-three building lots bave been sold In one plan in an East End district within three weeks. In almost every Instance the purchase was for improvement. Tbe most important mortgage on the list yesterday was for 110.000. There were SO in all, 6 of which were for purchase money. Concerning tbe mysterious disappearance of small notes, a Wood street banker said yester day tba the country people carried them off. This is corroborated by the fact that whire Pittsburg is short of them the rural districts are well supplied. Henry M. Long sold 45 shares of Electric at Sand25 Pleasant Valley at 29. Several brokers reported an Increase of buying orders for the specialties, including Electric and Pleasant Valley. Mr. D. P. Black returned yesterday from his snmmer outing. He passed most of the time in Buffalo and vicinity. He says Pittsburg stands bigh lu the East as a manufacturing and financial center. The dullest place be visited was Albany. He thinks it finished, as be did not see a house in course of erection. But us H. Herron and H. S. Pinkerton are on deck again. The latter got back in time to help start the ball in Buckeye certificates.

Introduction of Buckeye Certificates Caasea n Revolution A Lively Day. The oil ring presented an animated appear ance yesterday, and there was considerable of tbe old-time enthusiasm. Tbe metamorphosis wrought by Buckeye certificates was rapid and decided. Everything was Buckeye. When the gong sounded tbe opening there was a huriah for Buckeye which was beard on the street and caused some surprise, coming, as it did, from a place usually so quiet and dignified. The market opened at the top, with active trading. The lobby was well filled and orders were liberal, showing that outsiders were inter ested. The market sold off during the first hour, and was rather quiet until about 2 o'clock, when there was another spurt of activ ity and the price crept up to within 2 cents of the opening and highest figure. About 300,000 barrels changed bands. The fluctuation was 2Ji cents. Sprnul & Lawrence and David Brown sold freely. McKelvy and Tracy were tbe principal buyers. The range was: Open ing and highest, 42c: lowest, 39Me; closing, 40c. Tbe opening at Oil City, Fmdlay and Lima was tbe same as here. New York and Bradford were lower. The following telegrams were received: Lima, August la Oil Exchange open for business. We greet yon. John O'Connor, Vice President. FlNDLAY.Angnst 18. Oil Exchange open for business. Born at 9 o'clock. Babes as we are, we accept congratulations with manly pride, and hope to grow to tbe full stature of man as an oil exchange, and trust to so deport our selves that your Exchange will never regret our advent. D. Joy, President. Pennsylvania oil was firm but neglected in the excitement over tbe new acquisition. It passed throngb but one fluctuation the open lrg and highest being 93c and tbe lowest and closing SCJ4C Sales were abont 8,000 barrels. Refined advanced at Antwerp.

CERTIFICATES LIYELY. The Speculation Large and tbe Price Almost Equals Gold Money tbe Principal Element Tho Balls Are Sananlne New Y oek, August 38. The money qnestlon is again more than ever tbe principal element in the making of prices in the stock market,and the unexpected wipjng out of 30 legal reserves of the banks by" some Inexplicable decline to tbe interior last week has put an end to the slow but steady improvement which continued throughout last week in spite of the high rates for money, together with other disturbing causes. Tbe sanguine bulls maintain that there Is no likelihood of a continuance of this drain and no fear whatever of a stringent money market this fall, although that it will work close no one denies, and opportunities for ma nipulation will be likely to arise from time to time. Considerable disappointment is expressed over the failure of tbe Treasury Department to make some new arrangement whereby more money may be gotten out of tbe Treasury, but hope still remains that for political reasons. If no other, there will be some move looking to that end in the near future. The reappear ance of the strito on tbe New York Central was also a factor in the situation this morning, and notwithstanding tbe confidence shown by London, where prices were all fractionallv higher than our figures of Saturday, the open ing of tbe market here was marked by small losses in almost all tbe active stocks, and these were followed by further depression during the day, though in few cases were the net declines of special importance. Silver was higher in London, and the specula tion in tbe certificates here again assumed large proportions, and the price was pushed up rapid ly, lacking now less than 10 cents of a parity with gold. This acted somewhat as a sustair ing influence upon the railroad list, but the de cline in prices was steady, though sl'iv, throughout the entire session. The Grangers re ceived the most attention, with the Coal Btocks and Louisville and Nashville in close attend ance. There was very little special feature to the dealings at any time, and the trading calls for little comment. Ballroad earnings for the second week in August continued to be very satisfactory, tbe rate of Increase over tbe corresponding week of last year being, Toledoand Ohio Central, 4; Evansrllle and Terre Haute, 10; Toledo, Ann Arbor and North Michigan 24U; Louisville, Eransville aud St. Louis. SO, and Wheeling and Lake Erie, 4a The market under the strength shown by silver rallied slightly In tbe last bour and tbe close was Arm at the slight improve ment, though still close to the lowest prices of the day. The final losses of Importance were Denver and Rio Grande preferred. IK; North western. 1; Canada Pacific and Canada South ern, yi each; Lake Shore, 1; Chicago Gas, Bock Island, Northern Pacific preferred, and Western Union 1 per cent each, and others fractional amounts. Railroad bonds were dull and without feature of importance. The sales reached only (480,. 500. The tone was in sympathy with stocks, but no material movement could be detected In any portion of the list, ' TUESDAY, AWLTST 19, Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds neglected. The Post says: It is plain that, while the absorption of the floating and circulating cap ital of the country by the collection of exces sive revenue has locked a great deal of it up in the National Treasury, there has also been a large expansion of credit by the exploiting of "industrial stocks," by means of which private manufacturing and trading concerns bave been capitalized at two or three times the actual prices paid for the properties. These watered stocks bave corns into the loan markets and been offered as collaterals in one shape or an other, antfjeven though banks are understood to "discriminate against them," there are other and more venturesome money lenders who take greater risks for a much higher rate of In terest, aud by this means somebody's available capital Is locked up in carrying these securi ties, which were not in the marketat all before. The private individual capital wblcb was in vested In them before tbe organization of the stocks has not been wholly released, becauso the sellers of the properties have in most cases taken certificates for a large part of their pay.

Opinions differ ou the action of the Senate Saturday on the river and harbor bill. It was confidently expected by a great many that tbe amendment to purchase Lock No.l would pass, in connection with the otber Senate amend ments, while others never expected that section of the bill to go through. Business was lively about the wharf yesterday. The three up-river packets had all the passengers and freight out that could bo carried. Excursion business was remarkably good during the afternoon. Tbe rise which was booked for yesterday, bad not arrived at 6 P. M.. but it Is expected this morning. Local rains had no marked effect npon the Monongahela in this pool, and it re mained at 5.10, the same as on the previous day. At Davis' Inland it was likewise on a stand, and registered 2.5 on the mark, at 6 P. K. Arrived James G. Blaine, Adam Jacobs and Elizabeth. Departed Blaine for Brownsville and intermediate points, Adam Jacobs for Brownsville and Morgantown. Elizabeth for Geneva. Leave to-day 9.30 A.

' The Joe Walton passed Evansvllle on the way down with a light tow of coal. Captain Pugh. of this city, arrived at Cincin nati, en route to Pt. Pleasant. Captain Vance Hiobee has contracted for a new boat, to take the place of tbe Thomas A. Means. Claek Wilson has resumed bis old position with Captain Hough, at the Brownsville wharf-, boat, alter spending some time on a vacation. The Mayflower will make hourly trips between the wharf and Brunot's Island, to witness the placing or the Ohio connecting bridge span la position. TnE City of Pittsburg was on tne go 'all day, carrying people to picnics at MeEee's Bocks and Kinney's Grove. It will carry excursionists to the Ohio connecting bridge today. Several members of the Steamboat Owners' Protective Association will protest against the act ion of Saturday's meeting, in electing officers. It is claimed that there were not enough members present to constitute a quorum, and that the elec tions are not bona fide. A new boat to take the place of the Louis A. Bherley," which was withdrawn from the Cincin nati packet trade abont three months ago, is be inc hnllt at Port Harmon bv Knox A Son. The new nacket will be of the latest build, and will be equipped throughout elegantly. It will he mod eled somewhat after tne flier Keystone State. The Cincinnati wharfboat will go on the Man chester ways as soon as the strikers return to work. Yesterday passed wlthont any incident lu the strike. Beed A Krepps remain firm In their refusal to comply with the demands of tbe work men lor nine hours, and the men have evinced no inclination to resume work until the dock owners come around. The elegant side-wheeler James G. Blaine car ries off the palm for making the fastest trip to Morgantown and return. She left her wharfboat Saturday afternoon at exaotly 3.05, and made a ran to Brownsville, making 19 landings in seven hours, and reached Lock No. S four hours later. 8ne left there in a dense fog, and reacbed Mor gantown from Brownsville, a distance of SS miles in the remarkably quick time of 6 hours and 22 minutes. On her return trip she left headwaters at S A. M. and arrived here at 10:10 P. v., making 18 landings on the round trip. The up-trip was made In 14 hours and 20 minutes, and the return run was compeleted In ten minutes less. This is the fastest time ever made on the Monongahela.

Since the recent advance in creamery butter, oleo has been coming freely to the front, and it is thought by butter jobbers that the upward movement will be checked. Demand has weak ened, and the weakness is charged np to oleo. Choice nearby eggs are firm at outside quota tions. Poultry is easier. Apples are coming in freely from Kentucky and Missouri and quality or stock is Improving. Some very choice brought 6 per barrel. Potatoes are firmer at tbe old prices. Jersey sweets ate scarce. Southern sweets are dull. Tomatoes bave bad another fall, owing to heavy receipts. In fact tbore is a glut, and borne grown toma toes to-day touched their lowest point for tbls season.
