Woods' Ron nnd Eat Liberty. At "Woods Run there were 165 head of cattle on the market this morning, all from Chicago. There were a few strictly primes, which were sold at 55 35. The lowest price was 53 50. Markets were slow, but all were sold at the range of 53 50 to 55 35. There were 365 head of sheep and lambs on sale. Sheep solo at 4'Xc to 5Jc per tb., and lambs 55 75 to 56 C5, the latter for some extra fine. The number ot hogs on the market was 95 head. Demand was good at prices ranging lrom 43jC to 5c per fit. At ttie East Liberty yards the run of cat tle was the lightest lor several weeks past. There were 102 loads on the market this morning against 140 loads last Monday. There were co primes in the offerings to dav. It is a thing of the past to receive prime beeves at these vards. Butchers who handle the high grades are compelled to go Chicago for their supplies. The quality of cattle offered to-day was very similar to that for a number ot weeks past. Common and low grades were largely in the majority. Markets rong at 10 to 15 per cwt. higher than last Monday. If there had been any prime light butcher stock lor sale they would have brought even better prices. i:et Trices For Cattle. Theie were a fevr loads of good but not prime cattle, weighing from l.XJCO to 1,400 pounds, thjt sold at 54 25 to 54 65, the last price being the hishest obtained. Stockers aud feeders were in demand, but very lew wereoflered. Buyers were present in full force frnni eastern counties, but lound greater difficulty in securing stock wanted than has been experienced for some weeks past. For the first time the past month or two the seller had the innings and buyers were easily broucht to his terms. Tnere were ouly about five car loads of een and lambs on the market, against a dozen or more as the ordinary Monday run, and as a result ot the diminishedreceipts mar kets were brisk at au advauce ot 25c per cwt. Pens were early cleaned up at the ad vance. Offerings of hogs were 23 carloads. amount much below late average, and MARKETS BY WIRE. A Sharp Break In the Grain Pit Price Tumble AU Alone the Line Light Sloncr and Good Weather the Causrf CHICAGO Alargo business was transacted In wheat to-day, but It was mostly during the early part of the session, the market the latter part of the day rnling more quiet. The feeling developed was decidedly weak, and at the opening bordered closely on a panic Opening sales were anywhere from 2 to 2c lower than Saturday's closing figures, and later declined 2o more, then rallied c, eased off and closed aiout iijc lower than Sat urday. The cause of "the depression was in itself the very heavy speculative offerings and a lack of demand. The short Interest had pretty well covered at the last advance, and there was no disposition to buy for investment with the un certainty which now exists in regard to money matters. The.-e was a general liquidation of long wheat all through the session, parties being anxious to get out from under, and tr.ls was the great trouble with the market. Stop loi8 limit orders were reached at the declining prices, which helped to increase the weakness. This was particularly the case at prices around $1 04 for December, many of which couldn't be executed within 1 to l)c of the limit set, the decline being too rapid. Corn was active and weak. much, lower prices being established on all futures. The decline was due to better weather conditions, milder temperature being reported in the corn belt, and no damage reports of consequence a ere received. This was a disappointment to the longs and on the opening tnere was a general rush to sell, and as there was practically no short interest, the market was witboutany sup port. The free offerings of a prominent local operator created increased weakness, a. as the opening price of May, which was abst the only month traded in, varied 2c in different parts of the crow d. first trades were at any whero froiaji to2e decline under the heavy offerings: sold off JJc more, rallied some on realizing on early sales, ruled easier and closed witb a SMBSZic loss. Oats a. guod average Business was trans acted at a lower range. The decline of ljc was due to good receipts, free selling by longs, lack of good buying and the weakness in wheat and corn. A rally of a followed the de cline, reacted and closed easy. Mess Pork Quite a good business was trans acted. Opening sales were made at 10c decline, followed by a further reduction of 1520c Fluctuations were frequent within a small range, and closed about medium figures. .uaru ia.iT iraae was reported, rrices ruled 57c lower and closed steady at medium figures. Short ribs Quite a good trade was reported. Openinc sales were made at 7Jc decline, fol lowed by a further reduction of 5c Later prices rallied 25o and closed steady.

The improvement of Schenley Park is progressing as fast as money and muscle will permit A number of roadw&ys, or drives, have been opened and were -largely used last Sunday. More than 30 carriages were in sight at one time. In the shady nooks settees have been placed for tired pedestrians, and swings erected for the little ones, who enjoy them immensely. A gentleman who was out there on Sun day for the first time said yesterday: "The park is a big thing, and there is no doubt it will be appreciated by the people. It will add greatly to the prestige of Pittsburg abroad, by showing that while we push business for about all there is in it, we still have regard for the beautiful. The pleasure and solid comfort which the public will derive from the park will be worth the cost many times over." The County Bulldlngi. The County Commissioners are going slow in regard to the old Court House buildings, and are not very anxious to sell or rent them at this time They are awaiting tbe completion of tbe Duquesne Traction road, which will run along Diamond street immediately in front of these buildings. Their Idea is that this will enhance the value of the property and enable them to sell it at what they consider a fair price, which is $100,000 for the building at the corner of Ross and Diamond, and $50,000 for the one on tbe railroad. When offered at public sale about a year ago the highest bid for tbe smaller building was 837,000. There was no offer for the larger. As there was ne authority for giving them away they were withdrawn. Business News and Gossip. It is now said theDuquesnnTractlon Company will cross tbe railroad at WilWnsburgby way of the old tunnel, through which Goose creek finds its way. The baseball grounds at Homestead are lo cated on tbePlummerproperty, which recently changed owners, but they will not be disturbed until the close of the season. This sets a dis quieting rumor at rest. Of 44 mortgages on file yesterday 15 were for purchase money. The largest was for $25,000. The Pennsylvania Railroad reports that the quantity of coal and coke originating on and carried over its lines east of Pittsburg and Erie, for the week endinc September 6. was 286,417 tons, of which 19S.133 tons were coal, and SS.2S4 tons coke. Persons interested in the affairs of tbe sus pended Lawrence Bank are referred to the statement, or report, in another column. Roads in some parts of the East End are so bad that it is Impossible to- deliver building material. As a result work on numerous houses bas been suspended. Mr. John W. Herron, having returned from his European trip in good health and spirits, was at his desk yesterday. While abroad he met over 60 Fittsburgers and heard of a great many more. Tbe Butler Salt and Chemical Works are running full in some departments on orders from East and West. A large amount of the product finds a ready market in this city. Financial institutions and trustees of estates are in the market for gilt-edged bonds with which to replace the Governments which they recently sold to the Treasury Department Pei miti for New Bn'Idlnn. Bad roads are holding down the building trades to a point far below expectations. There is no other reasonable explanation of tbe fall ing off in permits during the past week or two.

Stock trading on call yesterday was highly encouraging, total sales amounting to 673 shares the best day's work for a long time Tbe active interests were Philadelphia Gas, Luster, Switch and Signal, Manufacturers' Gas, Electric and Commercial National Bank. Closing prices, as compared with those of Saturday, show a loss of in 'Philadelphia Gas, 1 in Switch and Signal, in Electric and H in Now York and Cleveland Gas Coal. Lus ter and Manufacturers' Gas were fractionally stronger. There was no material change in tbe Tractions. Philadelphia Gas was the leader in activity, 451 shares changing hands. The unloading of this stock was strictly in the way of business, and was not due to fears of the bottom falling out of the wells. It was the 'best opportunity for some time to realize, and was availed of. There is probability of renewed activity in the Tractions, if that amounts to anything. Bids, offers and sales follow: Wabash debentures, the weak points in the list Government bonds were dull and firm. State bonds dull and steady. The Post says: The statement published by Assistant Secretary of tho Treasury Nettleton to-day showing that the disbursements of tbe United States Treasury for interest and pur chase of bonds for pensions and ordinary ex pense of the Government have exceeded the collections of customs and of internal and mis cellaneous revenue by nearly $44,000,000 In the last 30 days, was certainly a great surprise to the business public It was not contrary to the general belief founded upon the knowledge of the nayments of customs at New York that many persons, and among them many bankers, were skeptic as to whether there was not something more plausible than real in tbe showing. The fact Is that the 'sub-Treasury in New York has been a constant absorber of monev from the general market uum witmn tbe last m nays, in Augustine collections of the sub-Treasury for custom and internal and miscellaneous revenue were $80,801,666, and tho disbursements for interest, purcnase of bonds of pensions and ordinary expenses of the Government was only $75,280, 951, showing an absorption of $5,500,000 in the New York sub-Treasury in August. It was only when tho pensions began to come out, since September 4. that the payment of $2,272,000 of pensions in the last 10 days has reversed tbis showing, so that the receipts of tbe sub Treasury since September 1 have been $34,444, 402, and the disbursements S39,460,277.

The local money market opened up for the week yesterday under practically the same conditions as have governed it for the past ten days or more, except that the relaxation of the stringency noted on Saturday was more pro nounced, indicating a speedy return of plenty and ease. With very little doing in speculation, Pitts burg is in a measure fortified against the finan cial spasms which periodically visit Wall street showing that her business system is of tbe solid sort which does not require frequent applica tions of Treasury pap to keep it on its feet During the stringency of the past week or so local bankers have been a little more cautious than usual in granting accommodations, so as to protect regular customors and home inter ests, but beyond tbis there was nothing to show anything unusual In monetary circles. There was a good demand for funds yester day, which was promptly met at the regnlar charge of 67 per cent on call and time loans. Exchanges were $2,758,1)66 53, and balances $343,832 03.

Continuation of the Pressure on Wall Street 3Ioncy Tight Agnin Throughout tbe Day Decline in Villnrd Stocks and Cliicaco Gas. New York, September 15. The pressure on Wall street still continues. Loudon figures were all lower this morning, and this market followed, opening down from i to per cent lower than the closing prices of Saturday. Money was again tight throughout the greater E onion of the day. and during the morning ours loaued at H per cent per diem and legal interest but late in the afternoon tliere was a markeu change for the better, and at the close it loaned as low 'as 3 percent This created a oetter reeling, and a material recov ery .from tho low prices of the forenoon oc curred, although the early losses were not re covered. The pressure in the early trading was es pecially severe upon the Villard stocks and Chicago gas and in the last named a decline of nearly 3 per cent was established before tbe course of prices was changed. There were a fow feeble rallies, but they amounted to no more than halts in the downward movement, and the weakness spread to all the active shares and the losses were 10 to 12 per cent. The improved feeling on money which existed late in the dav. however, was t.hn nriMinn nf liberal covering of shorts, but the movement lacked the vigor of the earlv decline and prices failed to get back where they started from. One of the features of the afternoon was the exceptional strength in Lake Shore, which not ouly recovered its early loss, but actually scored a fractional advance. while closing be low its best price. Burlington and Quincy was opened off per cent aud finally got back to Saturday's 'figure, but the remainder of tho list was not so fortunate, and tho final changes are generally fractional losses.

The gang planks of the wharf are under water and cannot be used to load freight. Captain Henderson said vesterdav that the wharf boat would bo off the ways in a a few days. Its services are badly needed, as it requires just twice as much time to load the boats. The river fell nearly two feet yesterday, but It is thought that the present stage will remain for some time. The water is still coming out of the Allegheny very fast, which keeps the Mononcahela "up. At 6 P. si. last night the Government mark showed 123 feet, a fall of 29 since Sunday.

Big Faro PlnTlngund Hinting Lately Seen In Ilileno. Helena Independent. Not finding any other means of diverting themselves, the large contingent of horse men and followers of the racing circuit, or at least a good portion ot them, crowded the gambling houses of Helena Sunday night, and as a result the gambling up town was unusually large, each house running to its full capacity. They were making their fare well tour of the town, but with what luck was not ascertained. There was one game in progress that attracted more than com monplace attention. It was in the club rooms on the corner of Main street and Broadway, and a notable coterie of plungers had assembled for play. There were eight in the party, and Mitch ell, the widely known Missoula plunger, who had purchased an interest in the game dnring fair week, was handling the little square box. Harry "Woolricb, Helena's favorite plunger, sat directly in lrontof him "keeping cases," while men worth hundreds of thousands and less were seated on either side of him. Twentv-five dollars was the price of the cheapest check, and not one of the party thought of buying less than $500 worth of ivories at a time. Every turn of the cards made a difference of lrom 5500 to $2,000 and the plungers bet their money with a recklessness and coolness that was only exceeded by the complacent demeanor ot the diamond-studded dealer, who had made the limit 5200 on "doubles," $100 on "cases," and S500 on the last turn. It was one of the biggest faro games in Montana and two of the party were Butte men, the others all of this city. The play continued about eight hours and out of the eight play ers only one man was loser, while the game lost 50,000, and of this amount a local plunger won $3,500.
