In the otfeiings wert a f cv Ohio cattle close to prime vreiphimr about 1.500 pnunds. The gen eral rantjD of markets wjs SJic to ilic per lb and at these Bgures markets were slow. There Mere US lambs and 130 aurcn on sale. Lambs sold at 54'c to C)c per lb., and sheep 4'c to 5!c per lb. llogs retjiled at 4c to ol'e per lo. There weie only 143 bead on the market. ilrket opened at East Liberty Monday morning ery blue, on account ot heavy rain and dampening weatner. Ibe man without high top boots who ventured into the yards Mas iua forlorn condition. Gloomy skies and mutidj- earth combined against tiade, and markets were an hour or two later than usual getting a start. Aud. uhen markets did start, the situation Mas in favor ot the buyer on all grades or cattle, Mith the exception "of light, tnly butcher beeves, which were in light sup pl. as they haie been all this season. At the opening of markets there were lib car loads ot cattle on sale, with a goodly number to arrive ' through the day. Chicago furnished not less tb?n 50 car loads for our local trade. These were in the main common and low grade csttle. A leading stockmtu said: "A very large proportion of the offering' Mere trash. There were no heavy prime beeves on sale in car load lots, and very few light primes. The latter held up fairly well to last week's prices, bat all other grades on sale were weak at a shade loner prices than last Monday. Xo Advance in Prices. There was a good demand for good feeders weighing from 900 to 1.100 fi-s from Westmore land and Lancas:er county buyers, but while markets for this grade Mere firm, there was no advance on last week's prices. Stockcrs were quiet and weak. There Mere a goodly number of buyers from eastern counties, bnt they made the most of their opportunity from the un favorable weather and heavy receipts. Tbe only class of beeves which held their own were the well-fatted stock of light weight. There were about a dozen graaes of sheep and lambs in the market mostly lambs, and in tbe offerings thef e was a very small proportion of choice stock. Markets opened slow at a de cline from last week's prices on all but prime stock which M-as hardly in sunplv enough to quote. The unfavorable condition of weather had a depressing effect on;hog. There were 35 loads on sale. Top price Mas H 70 and veryfew brought this price. Ontside Drices at Chicago this morning Mere SI 40 to $4 50, according to advices received by one of our packers from his buyer there. By Teiegrapli.

CHICAGO Wheat There was only moder ate speculative trading to-day, and fluctuations were confined within moderate limits. Prices were advanced lVc with slight fluctuations, and the closing was about lc higher. There was nothing startling in the news recejved. Early cable advices noted a moderate demand and steadv markets. Closing cables were quoted strong and higher, and this for one thing started the upturn late in the session. Corn There was fair trading, mostly in May. very little being done in the other futures. The feeling developed was comparatively steady, though at times the undertone was firm, but not particularly changed. The bulk ot the trade was local, and first sales were about Sat uiday's closing prices, after which the market fluctuated within a . range, and closed i Jc better. Oats There was only a moderate business in tills market. There were not many orders to buy, and they were easily filled up by a promi nent operator who is long. Prices held steady all the session, but closing sales Mere ata small advance over Saturuay. Mess pork Trading was only moderate Opening sales were at 2c advance, but rather free offerings caused a reduction of 57c Later, prices rallied K10c but settled back again to inside figures and closed quiet. Lard A quiet and rather dull feeling pre vailed. Early sales were made at 2c advance, bnt this improvement was quickly lost, and the market rnleri quiet to the close. Short Rib Sides A rairly active trade was reported. Opening sales were made at 25c advance, and further r lightly advanced. Later, declined 57Jc, and closed steady at medium figures. lipcn-1 Hluli- ' Low- j Clo- ARTICLFS. Ins. I est. i est. I ing. 1 , !

The Advance of the Municipal Lines Within a Period or 40 Years. EYOLUTIOS OP THE BIG UNION DEPOT "Where there is smoke there must be fire, and as there is a great deal of talk abont a new hotel there must be some basis for it. A good deal of it, no doubt, has grown out of the project described in The DisrATCH a short time ago, and which is progressing finely, but there are other schemes of the same purport which have not reached so ad vanced a stage. One of these, however, is worthy of notice, as it contains sufficient fact to lift it into the realm of probability. It was learned yesterday that negotiations are on foot to purchase the old Perry Hotel property, corner Eighth street and Duqoesne way. Rnmor connecting the firm of W. A. Hcrron & Sons with the transaction, they were applied to for particulars, and admitted that an option had been given out for a few weeks to a Chicago man, with Pittsburg back ing, at S75.00O, and that if sold the purchaser wonld rebuild or make extensive improvements at once. The lot is 100 feet on Duquesne way by 70 on Eighth street to Mattock's alley, and as much of adjoining ground as may be needed can be purchased at market rates. The loca tion is all that conld be desired for a hotel, being at once central and retired. Several gentlemen who have looked over the ground said yesierday that it will be no easy matter to procure a largo site unless it be on the Sclicnfev holding, but Colonel Hcrron. the agent, who was also seen, could not say what part of it will be for sale, it any, as it will take him some time to classify and arrange the property, and then get Mrs. Schenley's ideas about it. A Picture of tho Past. A gentleman who has just turned his 56th year while at the Union depot yesterday, re lated some reminiscences which show that tbe rapid growth of Pittsburg since ho was a cub of a boy. He said: "You perceive this is a busy place. Nearly 25,000 people arrive at and depart from this depot every day. It has a venerable look, bnt it can lay no claim to an tiquity. When I was a boy ot 15,or thereabouts. The ground upon which we stand was a grave yard owned by the Smithfield Street M. E. Church,and was oarely inside of the city limits the bill extended over to about where the railroad track egins, and then sloped down, leaving room for a road, called Quarry street, which was lined with bonses as far out as Lawrencevillc Adjoining the graveyard were tho white lead works of Felix R. Bruno, and just above was the Faber Engine Works. The sites of all these are now covered by the depot. At Twenty-sixth street, whero tho roundhouse is located, there was a large blackberry patch, which will be remembered by many of the older citizens." Time has worked wonders in Pittsburg. The growth of tbe citv within the fraction of a life time is remarkable Within 40 years the city line has been pushed out and ont along the Pennsylvania Railroad until it is now about seven miles from tho depot, and is still travel ing eastward, with Braddock as the objective point. Expansion in other directions in the same time has been even more remarkable. Pointers for Investors. The situation in London and New York is not all that speculators could desire, hence there is considerable uneasiness. John M. Oakley & Uo.'s telegraphic letter, which follows, contains many hints and suggestions worth considering: In the market to-day Sugar was tbe bane and Lackawanna the antidote When Sugar sold off two points, as It did, the general list weak ened, and in the afternoon, when Lackawanna . rose two points, there was a fractional improve ment in other shares. Lackawanna is so pal pably rigged that any one is foolish to tonch it either way. for it responds to tbe manipulation of a master hand, and its fluctuations reflect neither tbe condition of that particular prop erty nor the general market. We have several times recommended Our friends to let tbe coalers severely alone. There was talk to-dav of an increase in the dividend of Northern Pacific preferred, but, as it and the other Villards went off, it is safe to say that no gudgeons were caught We look for decidedly lower prices on the Northern Pacific croup. Illinois Central was weak and London favorites generally, especially Louis ville and Nashville. We expect lower prices on this stock. We have a letter from a friend of ours In London who is uot given to romancing, from which we make the following extract: "A panic here at some time is certain, for the reason that tbe constant tendency is to extend the facilities and means of credit without any proportionate increase in coin, on which credit is based. This will be brought to an abrupt termination some day. 1 think one of tbe chief difficulties with this market is the amount of securities that have accumulated in the bands of underwriters for the past six mnnths." Tbe October number of the Hankers' Maga zine of London, at hand this morning, says: "If values on the Stock Exchange are main tained during tbe rest of the year it will be surprising. Good authorities don't expect any great crash on tbe ground that 'in these days of telegraph there is always financial support for the coming from one quarter of the world if markets in anotber quarter happen to be in difficulty, and there is no sign of universal de- prcssiqns. We have, perhaps given more attention to questions of foreign finance during the past two months than some of our readeis may have thought necessary, but w still adhere to the opinion that foreign affairs will closely concern us and our stock and money markets before the first of the year arrives, and we be lieve that a verv serious drop in prices in both Berlin and Loudon is Inevitable. Saturday tbe Imperial Bank of Germany raised its rate from 5 10 5, and as it has of late been losing gold very neavily. much of which has gono to Russia, we think It will be compelled before ten days to advance the rate to 6 per cent. The BanK of England is managed now by one of the most able and aggressive men. ever at its bead, and we think that be will not hesitate to use heroic measures to prevent any lowering of the already small reserves of tbe bank, and it is prooable that the bank rate will be raised before the end of a fortnight. We think Pennsylvania oil will sell lower. The production there now averages 86.000 bar rels. The price paid in tbe field for Buckeye oil was lowered to-day from 35conts to 32 cents.

The increase in the Bank ot Germany rate is probably partly the result of the placing of the Mexican subvention loan. Messrs. S. H. L.

A LITTLE BETTEE. Local Stocks Firmer and Trading of Good Volume The Outlook. The better feeling in stocks noted at the close on Saturday made further progress yesterday, when the majority of the things usually traded in either improved their standing or showed a disposition of that kind. Electric and Pleasant Valley being about the only exceptions. Busi ness was also more active, sales footing up 300 shares. It begins to look as if those who have been holding back for lower values will have to como in on the present level or abandon the quest altogether. The tendency is undoubtedly up ward, though how far it may go or how long it may stay is hidden even from the insiders. KIIIST SECOSD THIRD CALL. CALL. CALL. B A B A B A Arsenal Bank..

ONE OF THE BEST. Saturday's Business Makes a Fine Showing In Clearing House Report. Saturday's business, as reflected in yester day's Clearing House report, was up to high water mark, tbe exchanges between the banks footing up $3,300,837 22, and balances $396,583 98. Some of this business was dne to checking for quarterly settlements, but tbe most of it was of the regular, legitimate sort, showing that everything is moving. There was no particular movement in actual money yesterday, the demand being moderate. There was no scarcity of funds, ard all appli cants for accommodations, whether Insiders or outsiders, who had acceptable collateral to nnt up got all they wanted at 67 per cent. A dreary day and the reaction from the high tension of the week made things a little slow in trade circles It was a close rtre between Pittsburg and Baltimore for the Clearing House supremacy, but Pittsburg captured it, as usual. San Fran cisco, however, made an extraordinary spurt and reached the wire a full length ahead. Large speculative transactions pulled her tbrnugb.

NEW YOKE STOCKS Iosa of Cash and Reserve In the City Banks Stocks Steady Sugar Refineries De cline Strength in Lackawanna. Nkw York, October 13. The hd'avy loss in cash and surplus reserve of thi New York' banks during last week, as indicated by the statement of Saturday, was still,, most Inter esting subject of conversation on the street to day, and while the system of reporting only averages for the week, instead? of tbe actual condition at any one time, 1st misleading, tbe known movements of money through the sub Treasury and directly out of Ahe banks to tbe South and West do not account for the loss re ferred to; and again, th'e accusation Is made that a large sum has been locked up for speculative purposes. However this may .be. tbe banks in years past have always reached their lowest point about this time, and with a natural movement of money should gain from this time out. The advocates of higher prices for stocks look upon the monetary situation with equanimity at present, for while there is still over $3,000,000 surplus reserve against a deficit in past years at this time, there is a feeling that the amount of silver certificates being issued each month will hereafter be more than sufficient to take caro of the customs paid to the Government, and that with the large ex penditures for pensions, river and harbor im provements, the now navy, coast fortifications and public buildings, money will bo assuredly easy within a few months and must lead to active business and speculation in every direction. The stock market to-day was somewhat of a surprise, on account of its steadiness and strong undertone in view of the showing of the bank statement on Saiurday, and with a very moder ate volume of business. In only two or three stocks were there material changes for tho day. Brokers report an increase in the investment buying. There were rumors that the market would be attacked to-dav, and something of the kind did occur in Sugar Reflneries,North Amer ican, Northern PaciUcandLouisvilleandNasb villc. In none of these, with the single ex ception of Sugar Refineries, which was sold con fidentially on the strength of the decision of Saturday, was there any material final decline for the day. Tho Grangers also withstood con siderable hammering, considering the limited market, with the same insignificant results. lhe opening was hesitating, and the weak ness in sugar encouraged tbe putting out of further short lines in the regular list, but the very pronounced strength in Lackawanna was a supporting influence in the market and the decline ot 1 PCr cent in Sugar was sufficient to induce only slight losses in railroad stocks. In the afternoon when Lackawanna made Its great auvance. tho attacks upon H orth Ameri can and the others were made. Tbe final dealings saw an improvement in the general market, but no movement of import ance resulted and tho market closed dnll but firm at Insignificant changes as a rule. Lacka wanna shows a gain of 2 per cent for the day, while Sugar is down 1. having recovered a por tion of its early loss. Railroad bonds partook of the same character as stocks to-day. and with a very limited business, $776,000. There were only slight changes in quotations, except in a very few instances. More strength. If any thing, was shown in bonds, however, and whllo the important changes are few, they are gen erally in the upward direction. Hocking Valley 5s rose 2 to 82, Erie 2ds extended 2 to 118 and St. Joseph and Grand Island lsts 2 to 10o. Government bonds have been dull and steady. Stato bonds bave been entirely neglected. sTho J'osl says: "The statement of the New York banks for last week showed a loss of $8,355,399 in reserve, this loss being caused by a decreaso of $8,717,800 of specie. The fact that one-half of tbis entire loss of reserve was due to a decrease of $4,182,000 of tbe deposits and f 1,314,000 of the specie in tho National City B.mk, as compared with the previous week, might be expected to afford some information in regard to any specific movement of money, whether it is into tho Treasury or to tho in terior, and if so, what part of the countrv and for what purpose, but it does not. The officers of the bank merely sav that it has gone every whereNorth, South, East and West. This movement is undoubtedly In progress yet to some extent as may be seen bv the fact that ex change ou New York is still 40 cents per $1,000 discount in Chicago: But nearly all last week it was 90 cents discount, and the lower rates since If riday show that the demand for money there is abating. There havo been no exports of gold since July, and the declining tendency in exchange makes it improbable that there will be any considerable export for the re mainder ot the yesx.

It was a blue Monday. Grapes are still in abundant supply, but prices are firm. Strictly fresh eggs are scarce and tendency of markets is toward a higher level of prices. It is next to impossible to obtain re liable potatoes, Tbe rail yards are crowded with dry rot stock, which wilt hardly bring tbe price of freight.

Rumors That It "Would Reach 20 Feet and Canse Damage to MiUs Montour Run Surprises Itself With a Dig Overflow Boat Briefs. On the river front yesterday morning there were high rnmors of a big river coming, and some ot tbe mills along tbe Allegheny and Mo nongabela were lookingiortbe water to be so higii as to compel a shutdown. However, these rnmors proved unfounded, and the old river men are looking for the fall to begin this morning. Last night at tho Market street gauge the marks showed 14 feet and rising, aud at Davis Island dam there were 13 feet 7 inches and rising. There was a rise of abont three feet yesterday. Many expected that the river would reach 20 feet, but last night it was de cided that 16 feet would be the limit. The extra water stopped tho up-river boats, but did not greatly affect the down-river trade. Very little coal is coming down at present. Montour run was on a high rampage yester day morning. Ordinarily a stream 25 to 30 feet wide it was nearly half as broad as the Alle gheny in places with a 20miIe-au-hour current. Great care was exercised by the officials of the limited on tbe Montour Run Railway, and though several bridges were strained the train came through all right. Driftwood. iBOXSIDrs arrived yesterday from Mlddleport with alight tow. The Scotia arrived yesterday from' Cincinnati and leaves to-day for the same trip. THE Hudson left at 5 o'clock last evening for Cincinnati and Intermediate points. The packet steamer H. K. Bedford leaves at K to-day lor Wheeling and Pariccrsburg. The Lizzie Bav arrived last evening from Charleston, and the Allen is expected to arrive from heeling to-dav. TnE river was too hiph for tbe Adam Jacobs to make her usual run yesterday, but the captain hopes to getout at 3 o'clock to-day.
