OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH, ?
"Wednesday. Dec 17, 1S90L (
There were close to 100 loads of cattle less
this week than last week on the markets at
East Liberty. The total on sale this week
was about 140 loads. A large proportion of
tbe offerings was common and low grade
stock, which had to go begging for buyers.
The average quality of this week's receipts
was lower than usual. The most liberal es
timate did not place the offerings of good
beeves above 20 per cent of the total. Light,
tidy butcher cattle weighing from 1,100 to
1,200 lbs were in very scant supply, and for
the reason of their scarcity, markets were
strong at a shade better prices than last week.
All common grades were off from 10c to 15c,
and slow. Good export cattle were in pood de
mand at last week's prices. Farmers are evi
dently of the opinion that it won't pav to win
ter low grade stock at present high prices of
feed, and hence, are sending unusually large
numbers of thin kine to our markets. There
was a very large run of poor thin heifers m this
week's offerings at East Liberty, and prices
were the lowest of tne season, mere was a
short run of fresh cow, and, while demand
was Helit. fancy stock was a shade stronger
with SCO a head as top price. There was also a
short supply of veal calves, but demand was
light and top price was 6c, with very few spil
ing at this figure. The general price was 5Jc
per ft. H-arr calves were dnll and slow at jl
ranee of 2-g3Jc per ft.
Export cattle were quoted at $4 501 60, and
a few extras were sold above The latter ngure.
Sneep and lamb On Monday morning mar.
kets opened with 15 carloads on sale, against 20
loads the previous -Monday. Good stock was
in active demand at a shade better prices than
last week, and common stock was steady at
last week's prices.
The top price paid for sheep was S5 20, and
Iambs 6 50. These prices were paid for fancy
stock, of which supply was very licht. there be
inc but a few bunches on sale. In general 5c
was the outside price for sheep, and 6: for
lambs. The features ot the market as they ap
peared on Monday are essentially the same to
day. The run since Monday has been light, and
all eo-d stock holds tlrtu.
Hops There were 03 loads on sale Monday
mornmc, and while quality of offerings was
above late average, markets opened slow at
a decline from last week's prices.
This morning there were 15 loads
on the market, and the extreme top price was
S3 65. The heavy snow which kept buyers away
may hare had something to do with low prices,
but the fact was that very few hogs reached
IS 65 this morninc According to advices re
ceived to-day by one of our leading packers
from his bnyer at Chicago, receipts of noes
there were 45.000 head and top price was" $3 40
S 50. With corn at present prices there is
hardly an thing cheaper going than hogs at
rates prevafline. and an upward movement
cannot much longer be delayed.

Market Quiet -With Light Sales, But Hopes
of Early Improvement.
Makciiester, Dec. 17. The Guardfem, In
its commercial article say: The market is
quiet There has been moderate progress, and
a few average sales have been made. The
closing of the year has decreased the volnme of
business. The eastern sections are not yet
benefited by the rise in exchange In conse
quence of tbe prospect of extensive purchases
of silver by the United States. India mer
chants are hopeful of improvement, and some
are inquiring more freelj. Prices are steady.
"There is a better inquiry for export yarns.
The sales are light. The home demand is slow.
In view of the moderate sales, consumers have
little belief that prices will be maintained.
Spinners are mostly firm. Shirtings are steady
There is little business for India. Fine and
fancy goods are well sold, as are also most of
the favorite makes of China shirtings. Makers
of high reed printing cloths and other finishing
goods are in a better position, and prices are
steady. The inijniryfor heavy goods is small
but there Is little pressnre to sell." '

Would Have Been Dull Wlieat Feels
the Influence.
CHICAGO There was a slight improvement
in the tone of the wheat market wlien trading
commenced. First sales were at II for tlio
May delivery, with some trading also at $1 00f.
The offerings were rather in excess of the de
mand at those prices, and 99JrC, soon became
the trading price. There was a decline to 99Kc
within the first 15 minutes, and for two hours
succeeding that time the fluctuations kept
within the limit of tho price last named and
SOJJc. The liveliness which, shortly after 12
o'clock, was observable in the corn crowd, woke
up the slumbering wheat pit, and there was
lively mnsic from tbe shorts, as the prices made
a sudden advance from around 99Kc to $1 0OV.
Then came reported liberal sales of flour lor
export and the purchase of nine loads of wheat
at Duluth for export, which helped to main
tain tbe firmness. The market maintained tbe
strength it bad so suddenly acquired until it
closed, and tbe trading price as the bell tapped
was SI OOJf, which was the highest price of the
day, with an easy tone.
The corn pit for a long time looked as if Its
life had been suspended. Prices had a droop
ing tendency, which was not disturbed to any
great extent till about noon. Near that hour
an inquiry for December corn all at once ap
peared to spring out of thegrouud without pre
monitory warning, no one appearing to have
AUJ IUI MIC, alllUUUgU IKK ncic UIU AUA ... UUM I
was offered; very little came out at the ad-
vance. and the buyers being urgent they offered
in aulck succession Mc and 54Kc 55c"and 56c
betore the orders. The prices did not, after
once passing 54e, got b.elow it again and in the
last few minutes it made a further advance to
54c and closed steady with buyers at 5c
The closing price to-day for December is one
cent higher than at the corresponding time yes;
terday.
There was a light trade in oats. Tbe market
opened steady at 45c for May, declining with
corn to 44J24J?.c. There was an advance to
45JJc after winch tho price reacted to 45c,
the closing being c higher at that figure.
The provision market started in inanimate
and at about tho prices of the day before. Tbe
tendency shortly after trading commenced was
downward, and this was continued during tbe
forenoon, but owing to the strength developed
in the grain markets there was a rally later,
and prices .for pork showed a moderate ad
vance over those at the corresponding time on
the day before. Lard and ribs' were virtually
unchanged from yesterday's prices as trading
ceased. The heavy receipts of hogs were a de
pressing feature, and the price reported from
the yards was maintained at and below the
former low level
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

MINNEAPOLIS The demand for spot wheat
was brisk to-day. and there was also good re
quest for cood milling wheat to arrive. Con

small and shipments full, which left onlv 52
cars more that arrived than that departed.
That feature created somo uneasiness among
millers, and they bought as liberally as the
character of offerings would admit of; pur
chases to be shipped to outside mills made a
demand too large to be supplied by the light ar
rivals. Low grades went fairly. Closing quo

THEY SAWED WOOD.
People Kept Indoors by the Weather
Pat in the Time Thinking.
A GOOD DAY FOKi CONCLUSIONS.
Fair Trading In Local Securities, tut Tal
lies Soft Like tbe Weather.
THE SEWS AM GOSSIP OP THE C1TI
Business people remained indoors yester
day except when the spur of necessity com
pelled them to brave the slush and minia
ture rivers into which the gutters were con
Terted. Street traffic was cut down to tbe
minimum and nearly all kinds of outdoor
employment were suspended. Snow shovel
ing was the only industry that was pursued
with much vigor.
Some people may think indeed some so
expressed themselves that yesterday was a
"lost day" so far as business was concerned.
This is a mistake. AVhile little was done
in the way of buying and selling there was
a good deal of thinking "sawing wood,"
as people, sometimes say for future use.
Many a man while sitting at his window,
watching the descent of tho "bcautif nl snow,"
formed new plans or perfected old ones which
will shape his course for tbe rest of his life, and
have an important bearing upou some of the
interests of tbe city.
So, while hands were comparatively idle,
brains were at work forming plans and laying
out work to be prosecuted under more au
spicious circumstance. The enforced Idleness
of many, therefore, had its advantages as well
as its drawbacks. It afforded them a breathing
spell and gave tbem an opportunity to pull
their thoughts together so as to more clearly
discern the salient features of tne business in
hand.
That it was not a "last day" is shown by the
following relation of a prominent real estate
broker. Said he: "Some of the largest and
most profitable transactions in which I have
been engaged were duo to such days as this.
People remained at home and thought. Free
from interruption they could see things in a
clear light, and it was comparatively easy to
reach conclusions. Mauy a time has the is
mark been made to me: 'Well. I didn't feel
like coming out yesterdav sol stayed at home
and talked over that offer of yours with my
wife. We finally concluded that the property
would suit us and decided to take it.' Such in
stances are very common."
It is an interesting fact that the conclusion
to purchase tbe Tradesmen's Bank pronerty,
which brought the highest price ever realized
in this city, was formed on a day that im
prisoned everybody but the necessitous. Tho
principals to tbe transaction had been sticking
for some time without coming to terms. On
tbe day in question they had a conference, and
having nothing else to do remained together
until all differences were settled and the trade
consummated.
Lafayette HU, the cradle ot the Republican
party and scene of many stirring event3 in
local history, changed ownership about two
years agu on a dark, raiuy day, which drove
people indoor and kept them there.
There is good in everything. Even financial
flurries convey a useful lesson. They teach
people to be cantlous. .Although philosophy had
to be drawn upon to enable tbe average citizen
to see anything pleasing or profitable in the
ocean of slush which covered the streets yes
terday, there is little doubt that many schemes
were hatched which will prove of great advan
tage to the community.

Business News and Gossip.
Three or four important deals for property on
Fifth avenue are under way, and one of them is
almost certain to materialize. It involves abont
S200.000. The matter is mentioned to show that
something is going on.
It was stated yesterday that work on two new
school houses in the Tenth ward, Allegheny,
will begin early in the spring. They were rec

Five three-story business houses on Franks

JSW Y0BK STOCKS.
Tho Market Oversold and Prices Higher
Effect of a Probable Government
Purchase of Silver British
Gold for Berlin.
New York. Dec 17. The stock market to
day was very dull and exceedingly narrow, but
remained firm to strong, with the exception ot
a short time in the forenoon, when there was
an attempt to Knock it down on the theory that
London was selling stocks. The market at
present is again oversold, and any attempt of
the bears to cover causes a quick advance in
prices.
One of the chief influences In the strength
displayed to-day was the publication of the
proposed financial legislation. The evidence
that tbe opinion in favor of the proposed rail
road agreement is growing, creates a good im
pression. In regard to the silver question, it is the
opinion in Wall street that if the Government
makes a parcnase of $12,000,000 or S13.000.000 of
silver there will be an end to the speculation in
certificates, because there will then not be
enough of them afloat to give speculators a
chance to operate in them.
The market to-day opened higher, but
soon the upward movement was checked by
the bear operations, and Union Pacific was
knocked down 1 per cent, and the others frac
tions. The enrreut was then turned, and prices
from that time failed to show weakness In any
manner for the remainder-of tbe day. Lacka
wanna was subjected to a squeeze of the shorts,
and took the lead in the. upward movement,
bnt Union Pacific was slur!rish. and
"did not fully - respond to the
temper of tbe rest of tho operations.
Pacific Mail was stimulated, however, by tbe
prospects of the subsidy bill coming up for ac
tion, and it spurted 4 per cent on very light
trading. Tbe rest of the list was favorably
affected by the action of the three companies
on the new agreement, and Rock Island, Louis
ville and Northwestern were all prominent in
the advance which followed.
The market finally closed dull but strong at
tho highest prices of the day, and tbe final
changes are all in the direction of higher
figures Lackawanna showing again of 2U;
Louisville, 1; Jersey Central. Missouri Pacific
and Northwestern, each lJi; Northern Pacific
preferred and Kick Island, each Canada
Southern, New England and Union Pacific,
eicb 1 per cent.
Bailroad bonds wero duller than for a long
time, and failed to record many marked
changes, tbe tone of the dealings being quiet
and fairly steady throughout tbe session. The
sales of all issues were $814,000.
The JPost says: Tbe movement of gold from
London to Berlin, though quitp large, being
now over 1,000,000 in the la6t three days, does
not necessarily Indicate any unusual financial
conditions in Germany. There is always a
movement of gold that way to Germany in the
settlement of accounts toward the end of the
year. Money is from 14 to 2 per cent higher in
Berlin than in London, and that
alone would cause a movement
of money to Berlin. Whatever of Amer
ican or other stocks Berlin has sold in the
last week or so would have to h nald fmm
London, and something may bo due to that.
But however this may be. there is reason to
think that the Bank of England would not
offer anv morfl obstacle to the transfer of gold
than it did to New York. The Bank of England
is now very strong in specie, and on December
11 held21,S29,076 of gold, against 19.228.576 on
November6. There is also over 1.500.000of
gold on the way from Brazil and Australia,
which ought to arrive beforo tbe end of the
year.

The snow blockade has put a quletns on

no change in prices. Country butter and fresh

an upward tendency. Cabbage Is also tending
in the same direction. Ponltry and game are
in good supply, and prices are steady. There"

A SEVERE ATTACK OF CROUP.
Tho Child's life Saved by Chamberlain's
Cough ltemedy.
I wish to pay to the public that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is the best I have ever
used orsold for croup. 1 am never without
it at my home for my children. Last winter
a child of Mr. E. J." Wetzel, one of my cus
tomers, was choking with a sudden and
severe attack of cronp. I gave bim a bottle
of this cough remedy, and he started for
home, gave tbe child, two doses of it, which
stopped tbe coughing and smothering in
stantly, and in a few minutes the little one.
was out of all dancer. Mr. Wetzel came back
to the store as happy as he could be and
said: "That bottle of cough remedy saved
the life of my child." Furthermore I feel
friendly toward yon as the manufacturers of
such a valuable remedy, andani proud of its
being manufactured i'n our own State. I
can cheerfully and willingly give many in
stances of its good works to anyone that may
want a reliable cough remedy.

A BIG MONEY-SAVER.
How (he Application of tbe Austra
lian Ballot System Would ,
STOP COSTLY ELECTION CONTESTS.
Fights for Office That Have Drawn Largely
on Conntj Funds.
TIIKEE CASES SOW 15 THE CODETS
The beanties of tbe Australian system of
voting and their successful application in
the interest ot honest elections were shown
conclusively in an article in this paper some
weeks ago.
There seems to be no other method feas
ible, so long as some men have" a rod held
over them by employers, unless all em
ployers can be persuaded to treat employes
in the manner prescribed by tbe Golden
Kale, or a breed of voters can be propagated
who, knowing their duty, dare maintain it,
a pretty difficult requirement whan a man
has a family to snstain and no bank account
on which to tean. The old time style of
voting in Kentucky had merit
in that the voters were required
to express their choice viva voce.
Any elector could thuj constitnte
himself a committee to keen tab ou voters,
and if the result were not correct conld de
nounce the election officers. But this method
required more courage than the average
needy man is supposed to possess, and be
could be worked in advance to vote as
wanted or stay away from the polls.
HEAVX EXPENSE TO TAXPAYEBS.
There is an argument independent of the
necessity of maintaining the purity of the
ballot, and it will be strange if the average
voter who makes his living outside of poli
ties and is interested in good government,
even if it be not administered by his own
party, cannot appreciate its force.
Scarce a year passes that there are not one
or more election contests, and some of them
are expensive to the taxpayers. Some
thing like a dozen years ago the
contest between Joseph A. Bntlcr
and Edward Matthews for the aldermanship
of the Seventh ward lasted 50 days, causing
the county at large the services of some 400
people, that is equal to those 1 man for 400
days, or say $S00. In addition to this, wit
ness fees, commissioners' fee, snbpccnaes, etc.,
cost some $1,500, and the city, not the loser,
bad the bill to loot, and Jndge Bailey cat
Colonel Stone's fees down to 3 a sitting, a
sum which many people thought very small.
The contest between W. J. Brennen, Eiq.,
and Councilman Mark Donley for the alder
manship of the Twenty-fourth ward, cost the
city between $1,400 and $1,500. Here two
cases cost the city about $3,000, and had
everyone in the last ten years who had canse
lor contest pushed it tne sum total wonld
have been a heavy draft on the treasury.
THKEE CASES ON THE STOCKS.
There are at present three contested elec
tion cases on the stocks, two in this city and
one in Allegheny, and under tbe late ruling
of the courts they may be made much more
expensive than the Butler-Matthews and tbe
Brennen-Donley contests. It has been de
cided that tbe evidence shown by tbe elec
tion papers, poll lists, etc., is not sufficient,
but that in the case of any vote being chal
lenged the voter himself mnst be examined.
andwitness fee and cost of subpoena amount
to $2 in each case. Apply this to the Stay-ton-
Wyman contest, and what do we have?
There are in this case 4,500 votes challenged.
The cost of taking the testimony of each put
at $2 makes $9,000, and with incidentals and
commissioner's fee will aggregate $10,000,
which the city of Allegheny must pay if the
case is pushed to the bitter end.
There is no security that there may not be
a dozen such contests in a year, and they
make a draft in any year that would well
nigh sponge ont the contingent fund. Sup
pose some struggling borough when scarce
enough money cm be raised to support
scnoois and Keep ooarawaixs in repair were
called on to foot a bill of several thousand
dollars because some slum politician had
falsified the will of tbe majority. 'Twould
make the taxables squirm as they never
sqnirmed before.
The adoption of Anstralian system for
the prevention of this abuse, if for no other,
should need no urging.
