ST7IXE STEOXG AND SHEEP BTEADI Office of Pittsburo Dispatch, I Monday, October 6, 1890. vt Receipts of cattle at Herr's Island were rather licht this morning, but in spite of this the markets dragged and prices were a shade lower than last week. The adverse influence was bad weather. Prime heavy Chicagos sold at S3 25 to $5 50; cood to choice medium weights, 84 75 to $5 15: good to choice light weights, $4 60 to 54 90; com tnon to fair do, 54 10 to 4 50. Fresh cows were dull and unchanged at a range of ?25 to 540 per head, and calves were active and 6trong at 4c to 6c per lb. Bulls and dry cows and low grade steers sold slowly at $2 25 to 53 50.

There were 201 head of cattle on sale at Woods' Run ards, of which 142 were from Chicago and 59 trom Ohio. Markets were weaker, but all were sold at the following range: Chicsgo beeves, 3c to 6c; Ohios, 4'c to 514c. 1 here were a few close to prime beeves un the market, but nothing that brought over 5ic per tt. The number of sheep and lambs on the mar ket was 415 bead. Tbo range of prices for sneep 4J.,c to 5c per 1, and for lambs, 5c to $6 60, the latter price being paid for a few extras. There were 165 bogs on the market, which sold from 5c to So 15. As selected corn ted bogs sold at East Lioerty promptly at 5c in carload lots, it is fair to presume that quality of those on sale at Allegheny yards was a shade below the best. There were 160 or more loads of cattle on the market at East Liberty yards this morning against 140 loans last Monday. Quality of offerings varied ver little from'last week. As lias been the case lor weeks there was a light run of good stock, especially of the kind de manded by our markets, namely light, tidv butchei cattle weighing from L100 to 1,200 Bs. Chicago furnished about 35 loads of to-day's supplies, and tliee consisted in the main of low-grade cattle. The balance werc.mostly from Onto and Indiana. There was a good lri quirj for Muckers, but faw were offered. Buy crs were present in goodly number, but made the most of their opportunity from the large run. Market opened slow with S4 254 50 as top prices. ProspccK were that a large num. b-r of the cattle offered would necessarily be shipped on in first hands. Low Grnde Ileevea. Numerous. The number of low grade beev. dumped into our markets of late has been unusually large Stock raisers and farmers are evidently acting on the belief that lcauklne will not pay for their keeping the coming winter, owing to high-priced corn. For this or some unknown reason our markets are flooded of late with in ferior stock Desirable beeves, suitable for butcher purposes, are fairly un to last week's prices, but all other grades are dull, with mar kets in fa or of the buyer. There has been little demand for export cattle at Liberty of laiu. uuu iiouo; xecuipia oi misgraae nave been light. There were about 12 loads of sbeep and lambs on the market. Quality was Door. There were very few choice on sale. It is evident that if tiiere are any cnoice sbeep or lambs in the bands of farmers they are being withheld while commou stock is being sent to the front. Prices of last week were fully maintained for all good stock, but low grades, which were largely in the majority, dragged at a shade low er prices. There were 25 loads ot hogs on sale this morning, and markets were strong for good corn-fed stock. Top prices ranged from $4 90 to to 00. There were not, howeter, over five loads of tbi6 grade offered. Common to good York ers ranged from SI JO to 4 75. On the lower grades mtrkets opened slow and weak. By Telecrnph.

CHICAGO WheatTrading was active to day and a large speculative business was trans acted within a higher range of prices. The opening was KJc higher fop December, while May opened about the same as it closed Satur day to He higher and advanced after some fluctuations lic more, then receded Hc, again started up, advancing this time lc, eased off and closed about lc higher than Saturday. The advancing tendency of the market was partially a continuation of the firmness devel oped Saturday, though assisted some by the re ported export purchases at the seaboard and here. The short interest was rather anxious to cover, and the speculative offerings were only moderate. No aoub: the firmness was due largely to local speculative operations. Corn was active and a little unsettled, though prices on the whole ruled stronger. The ad vance w as due mainly to the heavy purchases of a large local trader, who has bought freely of late, and decrease in local stocks. The sell ing was general and mostly in small lots. Oats were active, strong, and higher. Open ing t-ales of May were at c advance, but weakened, and values receded c, became firmer and advanced Jfc.

Offered at Prices Fayorable to Working People. A "WIDE FIELD FOE HOME-SEEKERS. The Gospel of Law In its Bearings Upon Some Important Interests. THE HEWS ASD G08S1P OF THE CITI For a city so prosperous as Pittsburg building lots,, except in the best localities, are selling at'very reasonable prices. Of course, if the city were flat on its back in a business point of view, lots wonld be cheaper but in that case they would be harder to pay for. It has been well said that a dollar will go farther in England than in this country, because it has to. If lots were cheaper it wonld be for the same reason. Cheap lots, well located and easily acces sible abound in nearly all the outer wards aud in all the districts jnst beyond the city line; and the supply is kept np by the con stant sub-division of acreage. In some cases they are offered as low as 5150. Better lots can be had for $200, and very choice for S300. These values are certainly not beyond the ability of any workingman with a steady job and a regular income. Nearly every plan of lots now on the market is, or soon will be, accessible by street cars, which are pushing ont in all directions, mini mizing distance and time Old citizens remem ber when Lawrenceville was a distant outsklrt. It is near enough now. Rapid transit will soon bring about as great a change in all the dis tricts within a circuit of seven or eight miles, reckoning tbe Court House as tbe center. In short, people of small means enjoy unusual facilities for establishing homes, and it is grat ifying to observe that many of them are doing so. Lrjml Light Tamed On. Since it is important to business men to know bow tbe laws of the different States affecting great and controlling interests are interpreted by the highest courts, several decisions are culled from a number just received. The Supreme Court ot Rhode Island, iu annulling a mechanic's lien on a school bouse, maintained that mechanics' lien laws do not, in the absence of ex press provisions, apply to public buildings erected by states, counties and towns, for public uses, and schoolhouses erected for the use of public schools come within the above exemption. Snch buildings are exempt from attachment and from sales upon execution, and for the same reason are exempt from liens which might result in an adverse sale. The Supreme Court of Indiana recently held that while the notice required by section 1.692 of the revised statutes of tbe State of an in tention to hold a mechanics' lien need not be in writing, yet that mere personal knowledge ot tbe owner that a particular person is performing labor for or furnishing ma terial to the contractor, conveyed to him in casual conversation with such person, does not supply the statutory notice upon which the person can predicate a mechanics' lien. In an action for breach of bnilding contract, the City Conrt of Brooklyn held that it Isproper in order to aid in arriving at a correct measure of damage, for the complainant to show tbe cost of removal of defective material, and of replacing the same in accordance with the con tract. According to the decision of the Supreme Court of Alabama, a bona flde purchaser of certificates of stock upon which a power of attorney authorizing their transfer to any per son is Indorsed by the person in whose name the certificates were Issued, and who was the last registered stockholder, takes them relieved of a trust existing back of the registry, though the transfer to such purchaser is not regis tered. New Tork and Cktcnco Pointer. There was a strong effort to rally prices in Wall street yesterday. The ways and means whereof are set forth in the following special to W. W. VenseL 115 Fourth avenue: Every possible influence which could have helped tbe downward course of the market was brought Into place to-day. London prices came very weak,Uhat market being a seller to tbe extent of probably 40,000 shares. Money was bid up to 6 per cent, and the demoraliza tion was intense Some of the larger shorts covered heavily at the decline, but it is proba ble that as much more was sold by new con verts to the bear side as they covered; at any rate, tbe loan crowd showed a very heavy bor rowing demand for stocks, and that in spite of the higher rates for money. There were many rumors nsed to scare timid holders, such as probable failures both in Wall street and in the various manufacturing trades, but tbey all failed to materialize, and when during the closing hours of the session it was found that in spite of continued heavy sales of long stocks the market seemed to resist stub bornly, .traders took courage and bought heavily in the hope of rallying prices. It is probable that weak holders ate for the moment quite sold out and that their stocks have come into stronger hands, who may have only bought for speculation, bnt will certainly not sell except at a profit; hence, we are inclined to look for a good rally, even tbongb tbe worst may not be over. As to the future of the market all reason would be at fault when the current Is once set strongly in one direction. No one can attempt to guess how far it will run. Tbo liquidation may continue to nut prices lower, but we are bound to reach bottom some day, and when we do It will be for quite as de cided a movement in tbe other direction. Nothing of special interest developed in the Chicago grain pit. Cables were firm and the leading bulls obstinate. Provisions were firm. 1 1 News of the Street.

Herron & Sons The demand for good mortgages Is brisk, but while money is fairly plenty, persons baying it will not let it go under 6 per cent, unles tbe security is first-class and the amount above $3,000. The amount of Phila delphia money placed here is small not so much as some time ago, for while tbe rate is low generally, those controlling It want a very large margin of value over and above tbe loan and all the expenses of placing it, which are greater than in the case of home money.

A Sharp Bear jtttnek on Louisville and Nashville Stocks Active Blda nt Close in tbe Money Market Rail road Slinre Revival. New York, October 6. Tbe stock market to-day was more active than on any single day for a long time, and was feverish and irregular throughout, with heavy drives by the bears against a few stocks, with full and material rallies in most of the list, leaving prices at the close irregularly changed, with a preponder ance of losses, which, however, are generally for small fractions only. Tbe shorts went into cover at the low range of values, and a smart rally was the effect in tbe early trading, the im provement over tbe opening figures extending to per cent, with Burlington and the Gran gers leading in tbe upward movement, and Union Pacific, North American and New En gland following. Tbere was undoubtedly good buying in tbe market aIo, as one of the strongest houses on tbe street, including some prominent banking firms, were buying heavily. The news of the day was generally of a favorable nature. After the covering demand was over the bears made a specially severe drive against Louisville and Nashville and North American, with Sugar Re fineries and Union Pacific following. The de clines, established from the best figures of the forenoon, reached 2K per cent,and Lackawanna was sold down to 141 on seller's three day options. The new buying came in at this juncture, however, and the upward movement which followed was practically sharp, equaling tbe downward movement in suddenness, and more than equaling it in its extent. Dullness at times marked tbe trading, but tbe business done was generally on a large scale, though few large lots changed hands. Toward tbe close a few belated borrowers came in and bid up the rates for money, though it had more tbe look of a manipulation for effect than anything else, and after ruling at from 4 to 5 per cent throughout the day, the rate on call was run up to7 per cent, at which figure the last loan was effected This had its influence on the final dealings, aud some re action from the high figures was made, while tbe trading again fell away, and the close was quiet and fairly steady to tbe opening prices in most of the list. The final changes are general ly insignificant fractions, bnt Louisville shows the only important los. " per cent, while Reading a.nd Missouri Pacific are both up 1 per cent. The Treasury purchased 300,000 ounces of silver, but the price fell away 1 cent for certifi cates. Railroad bonds shared in tbe revival of activity to-day. and the sales reached $1,235,000. ..which business was well and widely distributed. the only acuve issue oeing Atcmson incomes, which furnished $171,000. There was,also more movement to the list, and the important changes are more numerous than for a lonctime. and .are about equally divided between gains and losses, rue marked cnanges, nowever, as usual of late, are generally amongthe inactive bonds, while the active issues show comparatively un important fluctuations. Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and without feature. The i'ost says: Of conrsethe most important question in the stock market is as to whether the liquidation which carried prices down from 1 to 3 per cent last month, and appeared to cul minate in a drop of from 1 to 5 per cent more in the last half of last week, has been complete enough to cause a recovery. It is not now so much a question of the value of the stocks, or of their normal prices, as it is of whether the holders of railroad securities are recovering any of tbeir courage. There is no doubt that the increased demand from importers for bank accommodations to enable them to bring in more goods ahead of the operation of the tar iff, played a most important part in causing the money stringency last month. But the statis tics of the imports and exports of tbe United States, as given by tbe National Bureau at Washington, do not show any excessive ex portation up to tbe end of August as fears of further financial troubles among the mercan tile community.

Jobbers were doing quite as much business as expected, and the inquiry at first bands was encourag ing. Shipments were interrupted. EIVE raTELLIGEHCE, Local Coal Shipper Keeping aa re on the Kanawha Region. Coal operators are watching tbe movemeAs of tbe Kanawha river shippers very closely just now. Considerable coal is loaded ready for shipment at the Kanawha mines, and. on the next rise in tbat stream, it will be sent to the lower markets. A large sized drop In prices is expected to occur, which is a matter of no little consequence to Monongabela river operators. A majority of them have con tracted to deliver coal at Cincinnati all winter, however, at a stipulated price, and it will not effect them so much as it will the firms who sell at prevailing prices. The river has fallen below tbe mark that permits coal shipping, and a rise is not looked for until tbe latter part of the week. Latest reports are very favorable for high water. At all stations on both rivers tbe water was either stationary or rising, with excellent prospects for rain. Some coal firms assert tbat mines are in full operation, and that when the water comes they will have considerable coal in readiness. Packet business was very lively yesterday. Enough freight was dumped at the wharf to load a dozen boats, but only six were on hand to tako care of the freight. Driftwood. The Keystone State is due from Cincinnati to day. The Monongabela hugged tbe six-root mark all day yestc;day. A NCJiBER or empty tows were taken to tbe upper pool to be loaded yesterday. The Scotia left on time, carrying a large-sized load of freight and a fair passenger list. The Ben Hur arrived from Parkersburg yester day morning! Uer tow was made np mostly of sewer pipe and glassware. The Klass came from Kast Liverpool.
