DOWX TOWX TEOPEKTr TICKED DP
One of the most important transactions in
down-town realty for some time was con
summated yesterday, when the property on
the northwest corner of First aveunc and
Market street, owned by the Porterficlds,
passed into the possession of a prominent
business man, whose name is withheld by
request, at a figure approximating $50,000.
The lot has a iroutije ofoO feet on Market
street and 70 on First avenue, upon which
are two three-story brick business houses of
antiquated stIe. Tins property was formerly
owned In William Holmes, brother of the late
Jam Holmes, and was used as a wholesale gro

fceveral msteriesmreal estate were unsolved
at the end of the j ear and are still nuzzling the
minds ot a good many people. Early in the
year Cherry allev was the scene of great ac
tivitt, and, accordmc to report, numerous
pronerties there charged hands.
All attempts to discover who the buyers
were or for what purpose the property was
wanted were unavailing. A gentleman named
ClarL was aid to be doing the buying, but he
denied it. Public opinion then settled upon
Jh. Messier, as agent for the Pennsylvania
Raili oad, but he succeeded iu showing that he
bad no connection with the matter, his pur
chases being in other parts of the city and on
Li own account. Mr. Pitcairn said the rail
road had not bought a foot of ground in Cherry
alley, and did not propose to. It had no Use
for it.
Thee denials, counled with reports of large
and frequent deal-, mystified the public and
led to no end of guessing as to what it all might
mean, but no one was able or williwr to turn on
the light, lestcraay, however, a real estate
broker, who Uamis to know all about the busi
ness, volunteered a statement, which is repro
ducLd in substantially bis on n language, bald
be:
"lhe Cherry alley deal has been greatly
overestimated. There has been no mystery
about it except in the public mind. There
were no large transactions, and onlj two or
three tniall ones. 1 he colored church property
was exchanged for liouscs anil lots is another
part of the cits. Two other small deals are all
1 can call to .mind. The bplane property was
rot even talked xf niidlris'stillTonlhe market.
lhePenns!vania Railroad was not ci en men
tioned except in the papers. There was no syn
dicate. All thclxijiug was done by to gen
tlemen for speculation. Tlicy got the idnxiuto
tLeir heads that the alley would be widened
some time. and. as the were offered the prop
erties at alow tigurc. concluded to take them
and anait developments."
What v ill be dune with the Splane corner?
be was aked.
There are only two or three persons who
are in a position to gie a denmte auswer to
.our question, and the are as clo-e as ojsters.
,, ox-n opinion is that Jt wilt soon pass into
the possession of one ot th leading financiers
of the city, and that bcfoie the j ear expires
a tine hank building will tako the place of the
present btructure. It is a valuable property.
The lot has a rrontate of 120 feet on Fifth ave
nue and 11 on btmthheld street. The rear por
tion extends 1J0 feet along a private allev The
property as it stands is valued at aoout 100.
U00." To this may be added the fact tharlhcre was
talk at one time of using this propertv fur hotel
pcrnoscs. Lnt the gentlemen having the matter
in charge concluded that the puce w.i too
ttetp and suitchc.l off to another Mte on Fifth
avenue, negotiations for which are still in
progress.

Portable Banks for Small Savings.
Under its recently reorganized management
the People's baving llank has taken a long
stride ahead. Deposits have increased not
withstanding the lato stringency, and there is
a keen, intelligent interest in enlarging the
business of the bank whose results are becom
ing visible in a very gratifying way. A novel
and useful device just adopted is the securing
of a number of small portable safes, or "aux
iliary Danks," which the patrons of the Peo
ple's can procure at the Fourth avenue count
ing room. These are made of nickle plated
brass, with combination locks, are , highly
ornamental and convenient, and money once
deposited in them must stay there until it is
brought to the People's Savings Bank, where
the keys are held, lo people who are back
ward about bringing small deposits, or who
spend their inone) before they reach the bank,
the contrivance will be useful perhaps the
founding of fpture fortunes. 1 he idea ot the
People's is to consult the wants of the people
after whom the bank Is named and a very
good idea it K

The St. Michael's Seminary deal is bung up

made to compromise.
Three months ago negotiations were opened
for the purchase of a bank corner in the new
postofficc district, the price asked being about
J1.000 a foot front. Yesterday one of the prin

too uarrow for their purpose.

Local bankers reported business very quiet
yesterday. 'Calls for accommodations were
moderate and promptly accommodated, and in
some cases collateral that was refused two
weeks ago was accepted. Rates were quoted
at 6g7 per cent. There was a good flow of cur
rency from the country.
A cashier said: Although the monetary situ
tion is casing up gradually, funds are still too
scarce for general purposes to induce expansion
of business or cause material relaxation of the
caution so largely developed during the last
fewweeksof the past year. 'This will be recti

xNEW YORK STOCKS.
Strong Tone With Investments as the Prom
inent Featnre Greater Actliltyln
the List Tlian Any Time Since
the Rise Began. '
New York. Jan. 5. The stock market to
daj maintained its strong tone, and the invest
ment character of tho buying, was the mos:
prominent feature of the day. The dealings
showed a pronounced broadening out of the
market, and some stocks which have been
neglected for months were traded in and the
activity In the general list was greater than at
any time since the present rise began. There
was considerable selling, which appeared to be
for London account, but there were indications
that it was largely manipulation and seemed to
hae no appreciable influence on the new buy.
ing, wl.icd has now come to be so pronounced
a feature of the market. Tne traders
took the bull side and the foreign of
ferings were easily absorbed, the ur
gency of the demand taking everything
pnt out and more beside. There was consider
able realization in the last hour, which settled
many of the leading stocks away from the best
prices, but never at any time of the day was
the strong undertone impaired for a moment.
Ihe Increasing ease in the money market is at
present a most eacouragtng sign, and the snr
prismply favorable bank statement of Saturday
was not without its influence to-aay. The sell
ing of the arbitrage brokers at no time, except
just at the opening, was of any material influ
ence and it was felt principally In Louisville
and Na-.hville, about which there are many
rumors j float in reganl to the next dividend,
the most pronounced being that the compan)
would have to pay a portion of it In Scrip, as the
amount ot stock authorized for dividend pur
poses was exhausted in the payment of the
last dividend. These rumors, however, had no
material influence except at the start and Liter
the stocks showed marked strength and is ono
of the few active stocks showing an important
gain for the day. The Vanderbllts were all
consplcious for strength, and there wis more
trading in them than usual of late, while tne
Villards iere helped by the late statement of
the Northern Pacific and North American in
particular became the leading feature of the
market in the afternoon. The activity in
Lackawanna and the Grangers was great, but
none of them were able to hold the advances of
the morning in the face of the realizations of
the trading element later in the day. The close,
however, showed considerable strength with
mosfof the list at close to the highest points.
Tho list is generally higher to-night, hnt the
only important advances were North American.
1; Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, 1;
Luulsvllle and Nashville. Vt: Northern Pacific
preferred. Vt and Chicago gas 1 per cent.
The railroad bond market partook of both
the activity and strength in -the sb ire list, and
the business done reached $2,456 000, with
special activity in Northern Pacific 5s, Atchi
son incomes and Reading lints. The majority
of the active bonds show advances, and some of
them are over 2 per tent.
Government bonds have been dull and steady.
State bonds have been null and featureless.

The .Pol says: The first poiitivo Indication
of the subsidence of the financial panic which
prevailed in greater or less degree through No
vember and part of December was the increase
of money in the New York banks, as shown by
their statement last Saturday. An increasing
evidence of it Is In the lower rates for money in
London to-day, where bankers' balances were
down to 2 percent.
The Urge advances of 1c nn the pound for
demand .sterling bills and 2o on G0-day bills
to-day were almost entirely iho result of the
lower rates of Interest in London. This made
it easier to get 00-day bills discounted there
and reduced the difference between GO day and
demand bills icon tho pound. At tho rates
of last Saturday the differenco was equal to
half of 1 per cent per month. Temporarily
there is a scarcity or commercial banks in the
market, but the higher rates for them will
help to stimulate the exports of cotton and
other products.
There was an increase of over 40 per cent in
the business in railroad bonds last week as
compared with the samo week last jear. This
increase of business continued to-day, and ap
pears likely to continue with the increasing
ease of money.

Office of the Pittsburo Dispwcii.
Monday, Jan. 5.
At lien's Island.
The run of cattle was larger than last
Monday at these yards, but average quality
was not as good. Quality was high in holi
day times, for the reason of strong demand
''or choice beef at tbat season of the year.
Now trade is drifting back to its normal
condition, and consumers are satisfied with
something below too in quality. Notwith
standing depreciation iu quality of to-day's
offerings, demand was good and pricesof
last week were fully maintained. Some re
port an advance over last week of 25c
per cwt. on desirable .butcher beeves.
A Diamond market butcher, who
bays at the Island, reported that
he paid S4 73 per cwt. for beeves
and that the same grade were bought last Mon
day for H 40. Following was the range: Good
to prime heavy weights, S3 50 to to 63; good to
choice medium weights, M 75 to $5 25: common
to fair do. H 25 to SI 50: selocted light weights,
81 40 to M GO; common to fair do. SI 10 to SI 25;
low-grade thin and rough steers, il 75 to S3 oO.
Fresh cows were in light supply, and ranged
from S25 00 to f 10 00 per head. Calves were also
in limited supply, and sold at 5c to 6c per
pound. Stock from surrounding counties was
scarce, and quotations based on actual sales
were difficult to obtain.

Sheep and Lambs.
Offerings were larger than last Monday,
though light as compared with the late aver
age. Market was very strong, but buyers and
sellers were apart in their views, the former
being unwilling to pay the fancy prices de
minded. Sales of sheep were reported from
S3 50 to $5 60, and lambs 4Jc to 6c per pound.

At Woods Run and East Liberty.
There were 123 head of cattle on sale at
Woods' Run yards, which w ere mostly from
Ohio. The range of prices was 4Jc to 5e. A
few Chicago cattle sold as high as $5 35. The in
creased cost at Chicago left margins very nar
row, if indeed they were not more than obliter
ated. There were 522 head of sheep and lambs
on sale. Sheep sold from 4c to 5JJc and
lambs from 5.90c to 7-8c, the latter price being
obtained for a few bunches of lancv. The
number of bogs on the market was 418 head.
and average retail price was 4s per B.
There were 80 loads of cattle on the market
at East Liberty this morning, against 70 loads
last Monday and 80 loads the previous week.
-A large proportion of this week's offerings
were from Ohio and Indiana. There were few
from Chicago. Quality of this week's offerings
was ueiow late average. 'Llie day for holiday
cattle is over, and this fact accounts for redac
tion in average quality. There were no strict
ly prime beeves on the market.
There were a few loads close to prime,
weighing abont 1,600 pounds, for which J5 13
was asked, but bujers were not inclined to pay
above S5 00. and this was the highest price paid,
so far as could be traced.
Last week S5 S5 was paid for 22 head of prime
beeves, but there was nothing on the market
this week equal in quality. Cattle market was
active and firm at last week's prices, fur all
desirable grades, but common and low grade
stock moved slow at prices Of last Monday.
Sheep and Lambs.
The run was light, there belnz but 9 loads nn
sale agalfist 7 last Monday and 15 the previous
Monday. Markets were strong' at last week's
prices. The outside price fur sheep 5c and
lambs 6c, and only a small proportiou of the
offerings reached these figures.
'Hogs There were close to 70 loads on sale,
against 60 loads last Monday and 45 loads the
Mondav before. Markets opened quiet with
S3 85 as top price. Receipts at Chicago this
morning were 35,000 head, and top price there
was S3 b5, according tg,advices received by one
of our leading packers from bis buyer there.

More Vlin in Speculation In the Grain Pit
Better Prices Scored All' Round
Weather Bulletins at the Bot
tom of tho Spurt.
CHICAGO The speculative markets on
'Change to-day averaged strong and closed
higher than on Saturday. The closing quota
tion for May wheat was 9&c compared with
9Sc on Saturday. Corn was quoted at53
5'!c as tho session was terminating, against
53c on Saturday. Provisions acted strong on
the smaller receipts and higher price of nogs,
and the expectation' that tho recent immense
slaughter of the innocents is over.
On the curb previous to tho commencement
of the regular business tbero was an accession
of strength in both wheat and corn, which had
Its source in the weather bulletin for the month
cf December, in which it was stated that wuc.it
had deteriorated in condition ouicg to tho
drouth experienced throughout an extensive
area of the winter wheat country. Ihe early
cablegrams likewise tended to the creation of
the strength with which the market opened.
The principal part of the trading at the open
ing was at from 8Sc for May. There was a
counter current of leeling which could not find
due expression at the opening market.
There were several fluctuations over a range
of abont 4ci once the reaction carried the
price down"to7c, and again It advanced un
til 98c was paid for one or two small lots.
The price aftor reaching tho altitude las: re
ferred to sagged back once more to SSc, but
the reported taking of 40.C0O bushels lor ex
ports from Baltimore closed the market strong
at witbiiuc of the extreme point touched
during tho session.
The trade in corn was heavy after the first
boor of trading. It was easy early in the day
on account of the local receipts being 178 cars
instead of-9u cars as estimated on Saturday.
1 hero was a rumor that tho forthcoming Gov
eminent report would show a less quantity
than has been commonly figured upon by tbe
speculators, and there was a very sudden and
material advance, during which soma orders to
buy and sell at certain prices were impossible
of execution, so ranldly did tbe oclce shoot up.
The opening was at about the same price it
bad closed on Saturday, which was 53c for
May. The first move was downward, as al
ready indicated, and sales were made at52c
On the advance which followed, it rose to 5ia.
From around 5c on this advance tbe addi
tion c was added in,sido of five minutes.
There wtisa fair trade in oats at slightly bet
ter prices. The trade was iu smaller lots how
ever, aud pretty well distributed among tbe
crowd. Aldricb led the bnvmg. The first sales
ofMa futures were at 45Jc, then to 43Vic to
4516c, 10 45j;c on estimates of 06 cars for
to-morrow. Thence the price worked up to
46c and closed strong at c over Saturday at
loKSlOc. The first sale of February was re
corded at 43!4c January remaining nominal.
In pork quite a good speculative trade was
reported and prices fluctuated frequently.
Opening sales were made at 1012c advance,
but prices settled back 5c Later prices rallied
11. U'QJO and closed steady.
Lard Rather an active business was trans
acted and the feeling was decidedly strong.
Prices on tbe wboie ranzed 57c higher, and
tbe market closed rather firm at the Improve
ment. V
Short Ribs The market attracted consider
able attention and trading ins quite active.
Prices on the whole range were advanced 10
12c, and the market closed rather steady.

MINNEAPOLIS The demand for wheat wai
good to-daj: with rather light arrivals for tbo
two day "including Sunday, the number of
fresh arrivals being 3111 cars. Demand was
sharpest tbat came from millers here and out
side, tbe bulk of it going to the home mills.
Reports from tbe country sboned a fair move
ment from farm granaries for tbe lime of the
year.. A few small lots of spot wheat were sold
to local elevators, but they were not actively tn
tbe market for stocks, as the cash wheat was
too near the May futures for them. A
fair number of cars needing handling were
taken for that purpose during the day.
