PKICES DOWN ALL ALONG THE LINE Wet, Mild Weather and Floods Damaging to Marketc. Prove SHEEP STEADY A.ND HOGS STKOXGEE, Office or pittsbtjro Dispatch, Wednesday. Feb. 18. t There were about 90 loads of cattle on the market at East Liberty yardsMonday morning, against SO loads tbe previous Monday and 6S the w eek bcrore. Since Monday about fire loads bare been added to tbe receipts. The supplies wcro in tbe main from Chicago, St. Liouis and Indianapolis. Receipts from Ohio were unusually light tbis woeV. The offerincs were for the most part common to fair as to quality. The proportion of prime beeves on sale was very small, and those offered crc mostly sold in a retail way. There was a very small attendance of Imjers on Monday, and, with weather unfavorable, being wet and warm, the situa tion was decidedly in favor of the buyer, who made the most of his opportunity. Markets opened drapgy at a decline all alone tbe line, desirable butcher grades and prime heavy cattle suffering least from the decline. Good beeves wore Strom;, 5 to 10c lower than last week, and sales could only be made by this concession. Effect of the Flood Tbe heavj rains since Monday, and conse quent floods, which have more or less cut oil communication with the outside world, have served still further to depress markets, and common grades havo sold at 23c to 40c below prices of last week. There were very few cood steers on sale, and the general range of prices was 23c to 30c be low rates of last week. There is little doubt that Chicago beeves of low quality were sold here as low. if not lower than cost price at Chicago. Fresh cows were in better supply than last week, but good stock brought about tbe same prices. Calves were over plenty, and markets weakened on the too liberal supplv Vealors started out on Monday morning at B Q'c per pound, but wound up at c below these figures. At the drop of fie there were not a few still in the pens un sold yesterday. The drovers who came out even on this week's transactions have reason to be tbankfel, since it is nearlv certain that some will be lowers, at least to the amount of freights, hlicep and Lambs The number on the market this week has been about 17 loads, against 12 loads last week. Quality of offer ings is still far from satisfactory. Receipts aro motb lambs for a week or two past, prime wethers being very scarce. Maintaining tho Prices. Notwithstanding Increased run and gener ally low quality of offerings last week's prices were fairly well maintained. One load of choice Ohio wethers, averaging 110 &( in weight, was sold at So SO. but this was exceptional. The general range for sheep was Sc to 6 c, and lambs 4c to Cc per ft. Only a few extra limbs brought the outside quota tion. Hogs The run has been light all the wpek and. as a consequence, markets were ac tive at a suaae lugner prices. There were only 20 loads on sale Mondaj, and the totals for the Week have been much below average. Top rrice of Fhiiadelphias is S3 SO to S3 93. McCalli- Co.'s -Weekly Review.

S aol5-TTSs- MARKETS BY WIRE. An .Early Bulge in Wheat Followed by a Break Corn Actio aud Higher Good Trading In Oats Pro visions Quiet and Weaker. CHICAGO The grain markets started to-day with a mild form of panic among the shorts, AY heat started with a jump of z over the closing prices of the previous afternoon. The predicted cold wave arrived during the night. The cables indicated a continuance of firm ness, and there was a considerable falling off in the Northwestern receipts. There was plenty of wheat for sale and car. lots wanted at 9Sc, which was the bid and the selling price alternately for half an hour with occasional jumps to 9Sc, and one to 98c When JfradslreeCt figures were received, show ing only 67,000 bushels decrease in the stock, on the Atlantic side of the Rockies last week, an easier feeling succeeded and a decline to 98c was brought about by 11 o'clock. Between 11 and 12 o'clock there was considerable weakness, tbe prices for May swinging up and down for a considerable portion of the hour from 97Ji9Sc, but breaking toward noon to 97c. Tho price showed no recuperative power after the decline referred to up to within 15 minutesof tbe close. It only needed a little courage on the part of the bears to cause a further decline, and they gathered enough of it together in tbe last 15 minntes to cause a drop to 9797c, the latest trading being at 97Kc The corn market was just a trifle excited at the opening, and tho price for May was ad vanced K!0- The first trades In May were made at 5J(g53c, and not until considerable business had been done at c over tho highest of those quotations did the markets show any signs of having satisfied the buying ardor of the shorts. There were one or two 5,000 bushel lots of May corn sold at 64c, bnt5ic was substantially the highest point of general trad ing. There was good buying in oats early. May ad vancing from 46Jic at tho opening to 46Xc A weaker feeling then manifested itself, and the price declined until tbe close. Tho opening of the provision market was qniet but firm, in sympathy with grains, and there was no pressure of offerings. The demand for lard at a concession of 2c from yesterday's closing price was tho feature on thecalL Tho closing price of May lard was 2c lower than on Tuesday. Pork and ribs declined a fraction less than lard. Tbe leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M. Oakley & Co., 45 Sixth street, members Chicago Board of Trade: Clos ing. Articles.

A Fine Property on Sinitblield Street Quietly Picked Dp. ANOTHER DEAL FURTHER UP TOWN A Good Day at the Stocfc Exchange. With Ko Material Price Changes. THE KEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE C1TI It was reported on good authority yester day that the property No. 419 Smithficld street, occupied by Mr. Isaacs as a jewelry store, had changed ownership recently for 550,000 cash, Judge Acheson being the purchaser. The Judge was sought for a confirmation of the report, bnt he was not accessible. Mr. C. H. Love's name being mentioned in con nection with the transaction, he was asked for light on the subject, bnt refnsed to be interviewed. From another source it was learned that the deal bad been made at the figure above mentionod, and that Judge Acheson now held the deed to the property. This purchase, with five others of adjoining properties, gives him a frontage of 120 feet on one of the most pro gressive streets of the city. It is probable that tho near future will see a fine block on this property in place of the presentlnsufnclent and antiquated structures. Another deal of considerable importance was consummated by J. C Reillv. Be sold the property on tho corner of Washington street and Wylie avenue; lot 25x100. with a three-story brick business bonse. for $15.00a It was owned by John Keller, of Weldon 4 Keller. Tbe new owner is a well-known business man, who de sires his name withheld. Business News and Gossip, As will be seen by reference to its annual re port in another column, the Mutual Life In surance Company, of New York, since its or ganization in 1843, has paid to its policy holders $304,555,148 25. The wonderful growth of the company is due in a large degree to the freedom from restriction and irksome conditions in tho contract and to tbe opportunities for invest ment which are oSered in addition to Indemnity in case of death. Anderson Bros, are completing the nice frame dwellings on Wandless street, Thirteenth ward. A small crowd attended the auction sale of stocks by John D.Bailey, at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday afternoon. The list was gilt-edged, but buyers were too much inter ested in the flood to turn out. Only one sale was made 20 shares of Fort Pitt National Bank at $1 B2K. Bids were received for a num ber of other stocks, but they were below the mark, and all were withdrawn. The inundation of tbe low lands will no doubt drive many people to high ground in the East End and to the hill district on tbe Southside. The largest of 24 mortgages on file for record yesterday was for $10,000. The next largest was for $6,50a Several business men were unable to reach the city yesterday by reason of the high water.

No New Developments In Electric, but the Old Stories Repeated. Considerable business was transacted in local stocks yesterday, but there was less vim in tho proceedings than for some time. There were no new developments in Electric The usual rumors were repeated, with variations, bnt nothing reliable came to tho surface. Among other things it was stated that a good deal of the recent buying was by persons con nected one way and another with the company, the money being raised en collateral represent ing other Westinghouse interests. One broker remarked: "Tbe fact that Mr. Westinghouse is spending so much time in Boston and New York looks as if there was some truth In tbe report that he is arranging a deal with tbe Tbomson-Houston people." The stock opened weak, with the first sale atl2. It sold up to 12 and closed at that figure bid. Philadelphia Gas was fractionally stronger.

New Yore; Feb. 18. The stock market to day was again dull and featureless outside of a few stocks, but weakened in the afternoon and closed generally lower. It bad been expected that no more gold would be sent forward, at least during this week, but to-day the an nouncement was made that $600,000 had been ordered for shipment. The amount was not large, however, and had nothing more than a speculative influence upon the value of securi ties. Another influence for barm was tbe final sus pension of the American Loan and Trust Com pany, which has been the sensation of the street for tbe week, and this, of course, could have none other than a detrimental influence upon the market. The speculation, however.is still entirely of a professional nature. i his morning the market opened with a firm tone, notwithstanding the demonstration against Burlington, by which it was not only opened lower but forced oSa fraction further in tbe early dealings. The general list devel oped some strength upon the covering of short sales of yesterday, tbe Villards being notable among tbe usually active stocks, and the Sus quehanna and Western stocks among the in active shares were prominent for strength. Dullness and stagnation, however, oversoread the entire list, even Burlington sharing in the general apathy until the afternoon, when the rumor that more gold had been ordered, gave tbe signal for a further demonstration by the bears, and the announcement of the closing of tbe doors of tbe American Loin and Trust Company became known. There was, however, a notable pressure of long stock upon the mar ket, and while Burlington and Rock Island were driven down with apparent ease, the gen. eral list responded to the less in those shares by a slight decline only. Thero was some attempt to cover shorts in the final dealings, and it may be said that the buying throughout the day was principally from that source. The market finally closed dull and steady, at about the lowest price, but generally within slight fractions of last even ing's figures, tbe important losses being Jersey Central 2, Burlington and Rock Island each 1, and Reading 1. Silver was stronger than for some days, rising a fraction. Railroad bonds were still less active, tbe trading reaching only $927,000 for the day, while the trading developed absolutely no feature whatever, ana the final changes were not important. A few marked changes are to be noted, however, and Lonisville, New Albany and Chicago firsts lost 2, at 107, and the Consols 4, at 85. ihe following table shows the prices of active stocks on the New York Block Exchange yester day.

An argument was heard in Common Pleas Court No. 2 yesterday on a motion for a new trial in the case of R. Fleming & Co. against Gulick & Co., proprietors of the Bijou Theater. Fleming, who is colored, was relnsed a seat in the theater and sned for damages, claiming that he was refused because of his color. Be received a verdict for $200, and tbe defendants moved for a new trial. At the argnment Thomas M". Marshall, Jr., appeared for Fleming. He defended the verdict and severely criticised the course oi J. S. Ferguson, counsel for the defense at the time of the trial. He reviewed the address Mr. Ferguson had made to the jury, maintained that his position in endeavoring to prove that Fleming was a bad character had been weak, and that he changed his line of defense four times. He had also un justly abused Mr. Marshall and his client in saying they had taken the case on specu lation. Mr. Ferguson replied by calling attention to .air. Marshall's address. He said Mr. Marshall had called Mr. Gulick a thief and had characterized Detective Coulson, a wit ness, as a criminal. 31 r. Ferguson said that he had not gone outside of the evidence, and had warned Mr. Marshall thit if he per sisted ib his attack he would demand a new trial. He was now demanding the new trial.
