At Wood' Kan and East Liberty.
There were 210 head of cattln on the market
at the Wood's Run yards. 170 of which were
from Chicago and 40 from Ohio. Quality of
best offered was a shade below prime. Markets
wcie slow at a range of 3Jic to 6c per pound.
As prices were reported 15c per cwt. nigber
than last week at Chicago, with no correspond
ing advance here, markets were far from
satisfactory.
Tl e number of sheep and lambs offered was
4S0 head. In the offerings were some extrs
good lambs and yearlings, which readily sold at
a range of 5?ic to (Pic.
Calves brought 4c to 6c per pound.
There were 100 bead of hogs on sale, ana all
were sold at prices ranging from 4Jc to 5c per
pound.
There were HO loads of cattle on the market
at East Liberty j ards this morning. The gen
eral average showed an improvement over last
week's run, while tbere were none quite so
good as a few loads offered last Monday.
Markets were a shade better than last week on
fair to medium stock, but rather sluggish as to
best aud ponrcst grades. There were a few
loads of good but not quite prime Ohio and
Indiana cattle ranging In weight from 1400 to
15 0 lbs., w hich w ere held at 4c to 4J4c bnt cus
tomers for this grade were lew, and no doubt
these prices were shaded before sales were
made. There were yen- few feeders on the
market. Calves w ere in light supply, there be
ing less than 100 head on the market. Prices
ranged from ojc to 6 for good stock and 2c
to 3)i for grassers and heavy stock.

explained by low quality of offerings. There

for a carload of sheep was & &5, and for a

5 40 and a few bunches were sold at 55 75 the

CHICAGO Wheat The volume of trading
was rather below the average to-day, and the
feeling was somewhat easier. The opening was
tamo and slightly lower prices -were accepted,
influenced by the continued weaker tone of
European advices and the larger arrivals in
the .Northwest, with first sales atKKc de
cline, then improved c, eased off. declining
lc, and closed lower tbau Saturday's closing
figures. The market most of the session held
steady within narrow limits.
Corn was only moderately active, the bulk of
the trade being local within CTange. First
trades were at He decline, after which the mar
ket sold off a trifle, reacted, advancing c,
eased off a little, and closed a shade higher for
May and a trifle lower on near months,
Oats There were no special developments In
the market. Trading was moderate and mostly
local, a large operator buying May with suffi
cient freedom to cause an advance of c after
the decline of c recorded at the opening,
bnt the mutkec closed steady at about inside
figures.
Mess Pork A fair trade was reported. The
feeling in a general way was stronger for the
deferred deliveries and rnled 710c higher,
and closed steady at medium figures.

advanced 25c, and the market closed com
paratively sieadr at outside figures.

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI
Everything appertaining to house-building,
whether relating to work or material,
is of prime importance in Pittsburg, where
it is one of the leading industries All
builders know the difficulty of obtaining
good mortar, upon the strength and dura
bility of which everything depends. In
answer to numerous inquiries for directions
as to the best way. to combine and mix
mortar, Prof. Ira O. Baker, of Illinois, hss
contributed to the Society ot Engineers of
that State an exhaustive study of the subject,
from which the following is taken:
Mortar may be made practically non-absorbent
by the addition of alum and potash soap.
One per cent, by weight, ot powdered alum. Is
added to the dry cement and sand, and thor
oughly mixed, and about 1 per cent of any
potash soap (ordinary soft soap made from
wood ashes is very good) is dissolved In the
water used to mix the mortar. The alum and
soap combine and form compounds of alumina
and the fatty acids, which are insoluble .in
water. These compounds are not acted upon
by the carbonic acid of the air. and add con
siderably to the early strength of the mortar.
With lime mortar the alum and soap have a
alight disadvantage. In that the compounds
which render the mortar impervious to water
also prevent the air from coming in contact
with the lime, and consequently prevent the
setting of the mortar. On the other hand, the
alnm and soap compounds add considerably to
both the early and ultimate strength of the
mortar.
This mixture could be advantageously used
In the mortar of outside walls for masonry in
wet places for pointing mortar, for the plaster
ing of cellar and basement walls for lining
cisterns etc The efficiency of the alum and
soap compounds Is shown by the fact that the
walls of the Crotou reservoir, in Central Park,
New York City, were rendered impervious by
simply washing them four times alternately
with the alum and the soap solutions Before
being coated the walls allowed the water to
pass freely. Four coatings two pairs made
a common brick absolutely impervious under a
40-foot bead of water.
The use of the alnm and soap as above would
in ail cases greatly diminish, and in most cases
entirely prevent, efflorescence or "whitewash,"
which so frequently disfigures brick walls
Basinets News nnd Gossip.
Sales of houses before completion are com
mon occurrences in this city. This shows that
they are in demand.
A gentleman who lives In the Twenty-third
ward remarked yesterday: "I have it on the
best authority that the railroad to Homestead
will be built. The scheme has been delayed by
difficulty in closing two or three deals but as
soon as they are ont of the way something will
be done to put the project on its feet."
A car load of geese from Kansas City for
Philadelphia passed through the city yester
dap. They utterly ignored the rule of the
road not to put heads out.
Twenty-one mortgages were on the Record
er's file yesterday. The largest was for 8.000.
Six were for purchase money. Between 20 and
30 were paid off.
Mr. George Thornton, of Chattanooga, Tenn.,
was a visitor on Fcnrth avenue yesterday. In
speaking of the financial stringency he re
marked; "One cause of it. which is generally
overloeked, is due to the prosperous condition
of the Sontb, where more money is employed
than ever before, most of which is drawn from
New York. As there is not enough to go
round. This diversion ot funds from the usual
channels of trade leaves many localities un
comfortably short."

burg. Is ready for the roof. It will be the best
business house in tho borough.

The sale by Ewing fc Byers of 11 acres on the
.New Brighton road at something over $2,000 an
acre shows that property is in demand down
there. It is a district full of possibilities which
will begin to materialize as soon as rapid tran
sit is introduced.
A retail drygoods merchant said yesterday
that he hadsold more goods this season than

BUSINESS SUSTAINED.
No Worthy Interest Permitted to Suffer for
Want of Money
The local money market was in good condi
tion yesterday, the snpoly of ready funds being
adequate to the demand, which was quite lib
eral. Two banks reported they had nothing
for outsiders but others were not compelled to
discriminate so closely. In all cases regular
customers were taken care of. Rates were
steady at 67. Clearing House balances were
at a Exchanges were 2,653,386 69, and balances
340.678 64.
Again Pittsburg came in ahead of San Fran
cisco in the Clearing House returns for the
week. This is becoming so frequent as to force
tbo conclusion that Pittsburg is running away
from the gem of the Pacific coast. Stronger
evidence of business progress could not be
found. Baltimore is ont of the race altogether.
Quarterly settlements will soon increase the
supply of ready funds This, with the return
of money from the West, after moving the
crops should insure an easy market the re
mainder of the year.
Money on call at New YorK yesterday was
easv, ranging from 2 to 4 per cent; last loan,

NEW YonK,Soptcmber 29. The stock market
to-day was moderately active during the fore
noon and quiet for the remainder of the day.
the principal feature of the transactions being
the tqueeze of the shorts in Lackawanna, which
gave tone to tho whole market, although the
movements in the rest of the list were gener
ally slight. The effects of the bank statement
were also felt in a more pronounced bullish
feeling on the street, and the aggressive front
wblcb tho bears have lately shown was con
spicuous by Its absence to-day. although there
was still a great deal of talk of liquidation of
long stocks indulged in, and the disposition
was rather to liquidate on the other side of the
account. The movement in Lackawanna was
the only one of note outside of the rise in Sugar
Refineries, while marked weakness was showri
in Chicago Gas in which tbo manipulation for
a decline seems notyet over. t
Atchison, St. Paul and Union Pacific, which
have been rattled off so vigorously of latc.wero
.all artlve.but displayed no pronounced strength,
and Union Pacific was still inclined lo drop
under the unfavorable prospects ot thefunding
bill. The movement in sugar, whlcn was sec
ond only to that in Lackawanna, was as Inex
plicable, as all of the lato fluctuations In the
itock have been, and for the time being It has
lost Its influence noon the stocks ifi the railroad

the diminution of the stock of over 1,000,000

followed the decline In those stocks slowly, but
tho raid was not sufficient to wipe out all the
early gains, and tbo close, while quiet and
weak, was Generally made at small fractional
gains on the opening figures. The market, on
the whole, showed more strength to-day than
usual of late. The final changes are generally,
small advances, and Sugar Is up and Lack
awanna while Reading lost y and Union
Pacific 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds were quiet but there was a
few active spots, and out of a total business of
$1,020,000, Atchison Incomes furnished 176,000
and Texas Pacific seconds 163,000. The market
was fairly steady, however, throughout the
session, and the active issues showed no ma
terial change after the day was over.
Government bonds bare been dull and steady.
State bonds have been dull and without feat
ure. The J'oit says: The higher rates of Interest
for money on call In London than here, make a
tendency to move the loanable capital that
way, but there is also a scarcity of commercial
or any other kind of bills in the market, and
both circumstances combined to make an ad
vance in tbe rates for exchange.
The statement of the Cleveland. Cincinnati.
Chicago and St. Louis (Big Fonr) for the month
of August, show surplus earnings overcharges
equal to 1 4-10 per cent on tbe preferred stock,
and for the two months to Angust 31 a surplus
equal to 2 43-100 por cent on the preferred,
or abont one-half of the 5 per cent annual
dividend on the 10,000,000 preferred. The two
months' proportion of tbe dividend on the pre
ferred calls for 83.832, leaving for the same
two months 165,252 for the common, or equal
to 7 8-10 per cent on the 23,675,000 of common
stock. The two months ot July and August
are among the poorest of tbe year for this com
pany, tho best being the next fire months from
September to January inclusive; but as the net
earnings of these two poor months are in the
proportion of i per cent per annum on the
common stock it appears altogether reasonable
that for the whole year they will be eqnal to
about 6 ner cent on common stock.

Country Produce Jobhlnff Prices.
Tbe customary Monday's quietness is re
ported by commission merchants. Tiiero are
still a goodly quantity of grapes on tbe market
and the situation favors the buyer. Chestnnts
are coming in freely and general drift Is toward
lower prices. The chestnut crop Is reported
above the average yield this season. Hinco tbe
formation of the Oleo Trust prices to the dealer
have been advanced about 4c per pound. The
consumer, who was to be protected by the law
against oleo, is protected with a vengeance,
since he is paying better prices for something
entirely different from dairy products. There
aro rumors that nholesalo dealers of this city
are erasing Government stamps from pacbages
01 oleo and seuinir, sue article xor genuiua
butter at prices double its actual value. Tbe
law against oleo in Its operations Is a huge
farce, as iar as this city is concerned, and its
evil effects are most felt by the consumer,
whom it as designed to protect.
