A Feir Prime Beeves From Ohio at the East Liberty lards. CHOICE EHEEf AND SWINE SCAECE Omra op The Pittsburg Dispatch, I Wednesday Augusta), 1690. On Monday there were 109 loads of cattle on the market at the East Liberty yards, the bulk of which were from the near "Western States, principally from Ohio and Indiana. There were a few from Kentucky and 20 loads from Chicago. Since the beginning of the week abont six loads have been received, making a total for the week of 115, against 90 loads last week. The quality or this week's offerings varied very little from that oi recent average. There was one carload of primes from Ohio, the first for some weeks past, weighing 1,550 pounds, which sold readily at 4c, and in a retail way no doubt brought 5c per pound. A half dozen loads of good, but not strictly prime, cattle from Indiana were on the market. Supply ot light, tidy butchers' beeves, such as our markets call for, were scarce, as usual. Market opened Monday morning strong 10 to 15c higher than the pre vious week on all good grades. Common and low grades opened a shade stronger than last week, but soon lost their strength and dropped back into the old groove. There were 12 to 15 loads shipped on in first hands of the coarse heavy or inferior grades. This morning there were abont three loads left In the pens unsold. The cost of beeves ottered this week ranged from 25c to 40c per cwt higher in Chicago, and as the advance here was far below this, it is presumable that margins to drovers must have been very narrow, if indeed there were any left. Sheep, Lnmbs nnd Swine. The run ot sheep for the week has been light and quality generally poor. There was very little fancy stock on the market. Total re ceipts for the week were about 20 loads. Mar kets were strong at last week's prices, and choice lambs, of which there were not very many offered, brought better prices than a week ago. Good stock is evidently being with held from markets. There were in this week's run a few loads of open wool sheep from Mis souri, which were sold at H SO. Price of sheep ranged from 3 to 5c the latter being ob tained onlr for a few very choice. Lambs ranged in price from 4c to 6c per lb. One extra bunch only brought the latter figure. There ere about four loads of bogs on sale this morning, the bulk of which were grassers. Tbe tew corn-fed on the market were steady at a range otM 15 to H 25. Grassers ranged in price from S3 to $3 75 and were very slow. There is little demand tor the latter grade. low nrice on these is the only Inducement to the buyer. Tbe range on grassers is very ide, being affected by condition, qualitv, and weight. Advices from Chicago to nur packers this" morning show an advance of 5c on hogs there, the top price being 4 10. McCnll fc Co.'s Weekly Review.

Value of Live Hen in Opening and Developing New Districts. PLESTT OP MATEKl AL TO WORK OS. Oil Knocked Silly, While Stocks Almost Drop Oat of Sight and Sound. THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF TEE GUI Leaders in business are as necessary jts in politic or anything else. Without officers an army wonld be a mob. They not only point the way, bnt inspire confidence. This is as true of real estate as of any other inter est. A level-headed, enterprising man by go ing into a neglected district and making lib eral investments will often start a movement which will carry everything before it and revolntiouize a neighborhood. Improve ments spring up and activity takes the place of lethargy. Well-directed energy will remove mountains of difficulty. While Pittsburg capitalists have shown com mendable enterprise in opening up new terri tory and large bodies of land to home-seekets, they have not succeeded in covering the field. There is a great deal of acreage that should be brought Into the market. Iherelsno danger of overdoing the business. Demand will grow as the supply Is enlarged. It is not necessary to designate tbe districts that should receive early attention. Some of them are in the city limits; others are In the suburbs The development of new territory has so far proved financially successful, arid there Is no known reason why equally good re sults should not attend future operations in tbe same direction. The real estate interest has passed the criti cal period of the year without a break or the least symptom of weakness, and is in excellent condition for a revival. There is plenty ot material to work on, so that going to Chicago or elsewhere to make investments is practical disloyalty to Pittsburg. Business News nnd Goiilp. It is understood that Mr. A. T. Rowandpaid $33,000 about three years ago for tbe property just disposed of at 100.000. A leading wholesale dealer in jewelry said yesterday: "Our trade was never In better shape than it is now.

Oil was weak all along the line yesterday.dne to the fact that there more sellers than buyers. Buckeye opened with a show of strength, but went off on selling orders from New York. The decline was by easy stages, tbe principal slump occurring in tbe last few minutes of the ses sion. v The weakness was by some attributed to a natural reaction from the rapid gait of the two preceding days, but others professed to see the band of the Standard in the downturn. A broker remarked; "Today's figures are aDout right In view of what the Standard Is said to be paying. Outsiders do not relish giving a fancy price for tne privilege ot dealing in the com modity." The range of fluctuations was: Opening and bigUest, 40; lowest and closing, 38. Tbe pre vious close was 41. Trading was spasmodic there being a little along as the market worked down. Tuesday's clearances were 70,000 barrels. Pennsylvania oil was somewhat bullish at the start, but the market declined on light busi ness and closed at tbe lowest point ot the day, and Vi cents below the initial quotation. The slump was due to the same causes that affected Buckeye. At least nothing else could be sur mised. Tuesday's clearanoes wero 10.CO0 barrels. Feature of Yesterday's OH market.

Tbo Treasury Offer Creates Some Consterna tion Wnlting to Ascertain the Effect of It The Market Closes Dull nnd Heavy New Yoke, August 20. The circular of the Treasury Department Issued late last evening, in regard to the purchase of tbe 4 per cents, was a check for tbe time being upon the opera tions of tbe bears and -carried, for tbe time belng,oonsiderable anxiety into their ranks. While there were grave doubts expressed by some financial authorities that any large amount of bonds could be secured owing to the fact that they are held so largely by institutions for special purposes, the immediate effect upon the stock market was one of stimulation in the matter of prices. A large number of the weaker bears hastened to cover, and at the opening this morning tbe demand from the shorts was urgent enough to open the active stocks from X to per cent higher than they closed last eyenlng. The movement was soon exhausted, however, and further advances were slight. The disposition to ttade was never at a lower ebb, all preferring to await tbe outcome of the offer of tbe Secretary. The offerings as an nounced at noon were, to say tbe least, rather disappointing to tbe bulls, but the threat that If this means should fail to get the money out of the Treasury other means would be taken acted still as a restricting influence upon opera tions 011 the short side, and tbe dullness for the remainder of the day was most intense. The offerings ot to-morrow are now awaited wltbanxiet), and if larger tban to-day's may bring some improvement in prices, but if not a resumption of the late hammering may be ex pected. There was less beard about the strikes to-day, and the crop news received was, if any thing, more favorable, which should hare en couraged the bulls, bnt the high rates for money were still maintained, and 25 per cent loans are not inviting to the would-Do specu lator. In tbe afternoon tbe bears showed some encouragement In consequence of the small offeriugs of bonds under the circular, and more animation in tbe market was accom panied by some recession in in prices. The movements were generally slight, only Oregon Transcontinental receipts dropped 1 per cent, while Lackawanna and Sugar Refineries lost fractional amounts. The market finally closed dull and .heavy generally at slight concessions from tbe opening prices. Wall street, both yesterday and to-day, has bad a severe test, and Ittas been shown that tbere is still a very strong undertone and a scant supply of stocks. The final changes are generally slight ad vances, but Canada PaciHo rose 1, and tbere are a few fractional losses. Ibe railroad bond market still remains very dull, and without features of importance and no pronounced tone, although tbe changes to day were generally in the direction of lower figures among those of importance. The sales were only $146,000. with no special animation anywhere in tne list. Long Island fives lost 2 at 112, while the-only advance of note was Ten nessee C6al, Birmingham Division, sixes 5 to 98. Government bonus have been dull and strong. State bonds have been dull and featureless. Tbe Post says: The Secretary -offers to buy the bonds, paying par for tbe principal and all interest up to May 31, 1891. It is, in fact, an of fer of only 1 03, or c advance over 1 02 paid for tbe bonus last week. A large part at these bonds are no donbt held by fiduciary in stitutions as a perfectly guaranteed security rather than an interest paying investment, and it will require every Inducement the Secretary can offer to bring this capital out of the state of limbo into tbe money market again, and there fore he should not try to make two bites ot a cherry. While money on call touched 30 per cent per annum to-day in tne New York stock market. It was 3Ji to 3K lor bankers' Dalances In Lon don, and yet tuis enormous difference caused no change In tbe "rates of sterling exchange. There is no doubt that tbe stringency here has been aggravated by the banks and trust com panies. They have a donble purpose to serve. First, they get bigb rates for tbelr money from day to day, and next they expect to make the Secretary of tbe Treasuary buy tbelr bonds at tbe highest price in order to relieve the money market; though for that matter be seems to have no alternate except to bid tbe highest prices. Tho following table shows tbe prices or active stocks on the New York Stock Kxchange yester day.

In tbe Senate Saturday the amendment to the river and harbor bill, providing for an ap propriation of 45,000 for improving tbe Monon gahela above Morgantown, was agreed to. The amendment to increase the appropriation to complete the Little Kanawha dam was also re ported. This will be a great benefit to naviga tion on that stream. At a recent meeting of the local operators and river pilots, held at the office of Captain John A. Wood, the places needing earliest attention were designated and a copy of tbe recommendations was forwarded to Colonel Merrill, of the snagboat Woodruff. Colonel Merrill proposes pushing the work to completion as soon as the appropriation is re ceived. -The first work will be likely com menced on the Marietta dike, about tbe roost dangerous place between hern and Cincinnati. Harbor boats were active yesterday towing coal from the upper pool. The Brownsville wharf boat was the scene of considerable activ ity during tbe day. Reports from up-river points on both rivers show rainy weather and rising rivers. The Monongahela has not yet felt the benefit, as it barely touched the six foot mark last night. The Ohio has fared somewhat better. In 24 hours It rose from 2.6 to 3 feet, and was still on tbe rise at 6 P. at. Business was pretty fair on slackwater. Ar rivedAdam Jacobs. Germania and Elizabeth.

Tbe disease has also appeared at Tortosa and Tarragona. Branches of tbe Michael Davltt's newlabor nnion are organizing in Limerick and other places in Ireland with great rapidity. The Democratic convention of tbe Seventh Kansas district indorsed Jerry Simpson, the People's party nominee, for Congress. An immensely rich silver vein has been found in the old Tattee workings near the Shore of Xake Mosanda, north of Duluth. Corporal Nicholas, of the Royal Engineers, was drowned In 100 feet of water off Halifax. He went down in a diving suit, but his line was fouled. Robert Pope, a magistrate at Harlan Court house, Ky., refused to try the case of two brothers charged with shooting an ox belong ing to him, and they fatally shot him and es caped.

Fancy Elgin creamery butter cannot now be laid down hero much nnder 24c, and our prices are advanced, in accordance with the facts of the case. Ohio cheese is firm at a shade higher prices, and New York cheese is steady. Choice nearby eggs are very firm at outside quota tions, and single cases are selling at lc above this figure. Potatoes are in good supply, but choice stock sells readily at quotations. Water melons are plenty and cheap. Very large-sized melons from Missouri are selling at S20$25 per hundred.

Groceries. The long looked-f or rise in coffee has not as yet put in an appearance, bnt it cannot be much longer delayed. Other staples in grocery lines are moving freely, and the whole tendency of markets is toward a higher level. Retail grocers are laying in heavy stooks In tbe faith that delay is dangerous at this juncture. In view of the upward drift, it Is better to buy heavily now than to pay more later on. Job bers have no need to push trade as it pushes itself. Said a leading wholesale grocer: "Our goods are worth more to us than the money, and the active trade of the past month has been more to oar detriment than to our ad vantage from a financial standpoint. Goods are moving out too freely for comfort.
