TOO MANY LEAN SHE. The Supply of Common and Low Grade Beeves Continues to Bo 15 LAEGE EXCESS OF THE DEMAND. light lrime Butcher Cattle Still Strong at Last Week's Prices. SHEEP STEAD! AND SWIM! LOWER Office or PiTTsnrao Dispatch, ) Mosday, July i7. J There were 130 carloads of cattle on sale at the East Liberty yards this morning, against 146 cars last Monday, and 112 the previous Monday. There were few good beeves and no primes on sale to-day. The proportion of Rood cattle to the total number was fcraallerthis week than for some tlmopast, and thi is putting It strong enough. Stock men ate unanimous in deploring the fact that farmers do not keep their lean klne at home until they are in better condition for market. With good grazing and prospect for cheap corn it nould seem to bo the wise policy for Western larmers to withhold their unripo stock from markets at this time hen all stock under prime can only be sold at a sacrifice. Simmers cornnlain of commission men lor not doing an impossible thing, nameH, -c'l common and low grade stock at paying prices when markets are flooded with tfce.-c inferior grades. In the offerings today there v. ere about 40 carloads from Chicago. The balance Mere mostly from Ohio and Indiana. On account of scarcity of good butcher beeves maikets were ilrni at last week's prices, but all common and low grade cattle cro eak and Icn , with tho market in fa or of buj-ers. A Noticeable Feature. There were no cattle on bale to-day that brought 6c per lb, and yet prime were worth ?S 50 in Chicago Light, smooth butcher steers weighing 1,100 to 1.2C0 lbs were in good demand with $5 25 as the top price.

Vealers ranged in price from 5)c to 5Jc per lb., and gra-ers at 3jC to 4c per lb. Sheep and Lambs i'liere were Is loads on the market to-daj. Aerage quality was below par. Markets active and Sin tor all good stock, and slow for lower grade. There were ales of choice stock at a shade higher prices than were obtained a week ago. The top price of sheep to-day was 5J.$c and lambs c per lb, and only a lew fancy reached rheo outside figure. Said a lead ing stocku.au, "I sola sheep last weekat $5 JO, m bich w ould not bring $o 00 this morn ing." Hogs Keccipts were 21 loads ntrainst 8 loads last Monday In consequence of in creased run, maikets declined notless than 29c per cwt from jat week's prices.

Rve fit ni and1 IT WAS A BULL DAY. The Boom Started In at the Tap of the Open ing Bell It Continued Throughout the Whole Bay Corn Responsible for tho Start. CHICAGO It was a bull day on tho Board of Trade. Tho boom started in very soon after the tap of the opening bell, and it was still on when it tapped again at the close. First prices were the lowest of the day, and closing quotations were at or near the top figures of the session. Corn was responsible for starting the riot, audit led the proces sion and closed with a phenomenal ad vance. Except in corn, the opening quota tions were weak and lower, but when the shorts in the corn pit began to climb upon each other's shoulders in their frantic en deavors to get some of the hoecako cereal, regardless of tho price asked, dealers in the other caught the infection and began rapid lj to advance values. Wheat opened Jc lower than it closed Sat urday, being depressed by the enormous re ceipts 1,345 cars having been inspected where onlyJou had been estimated and bv the beautiful harvest weather. This was very depressing at the moment, but caDles coming in some what higher and corn mak ing a sensational advance at the start.wheat quickly recovered and 60on became strong, gradually developing into an active and ex cited condition. Domestic markets were all advancing, and shorts here soon became w ildly excited nnd co ered freely. The result was that Decem ber, which opened at SSJc, sold up pretty sfnn,Hl-Wf trt n77 Pardridge's brokers were big buyers as soon as the strength began to develop, nnd jjd cot creti a large line in tne vicinity oi eye, and subsequently put a good deal of it out at 90c and above. Other shorts were nil heavy, while there was extreme caution on the part of sellers. Logan & Co. bought liberally almost from the start. White sold some, after the maiket had turned 90c, but was not very aggressive on that side. Schwartz and Dupce ero good buyers. The maiket had very little to make It strong except the strength In the other speculation pits. Cables wero firm, but not greatly higher, while the receipts Tero sim ply enormous and are expected to be corre spondingly heavy to-morrow. Crop pros pects were never better, the export move ment unusually light and the Increase In the t lsible supply quite heavy. When it was posted the price broke froni"90c toS8Je, as sisted by tree realizing of pioflts on the bulge and a slackening in the demand from shorts. The late cables all came In strong and higher. Liverpool reported nn advance of ljfid, and Paris an advance of 10 centimes, and com taking a jump at about the same time, December wheat sold up to aic, or 3kc above the opening, and closed firm at al'fje. Xew York was a good buyer all day, but Pardndge was the largest individual buyer, though Bryant and Logan were act ive in that direction. Corn was tlie leader of all the other pits and opened decidedly higher, soon grew ex cited and advanced about 3c from the first sales and was very nervous Receipts were SO cars less than expected, and stocks everv where light; cold and backward weather In the country, with the Eastern demand sharp and Xew "York higher. The local shorts were making frantic efforts to co er from the very start, and with little disposition to sell, prices had to be bid up in order to get the property. September started at 551461 56c, and went right on up with but slight set backs until It sold to 5Sc It then sold off to 53JJ c, but w hen the visible supply was posted showing a decrease the market grow strong and excited again, bulging to 59c, closing at 59c, at which price it was firm. Corn at one time was very strong, and No. 2 sold up to 65c and Xo. 2 yellow to 66c, bnt then broke sharply, No. 2 selling off to 63c. New York was strong and higher, opening lK2c above Saturday's close. It Is said that the advance was due to a break in the Erie canal, which, will keep back receipts. uats were aominatea Dy corn tnrougn out the session, closing within c of the top. Hog product was active and higher, led by the excited condition of corn and on firmer cables. Hog receipts were in excess of estimates, and prices w re no higher, but shorts weie excited buyers from tho start.

Fair MoTement in Speculative Lines Based on Confidence in the Outlook. OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP Negotiations were opened yesterday for a block of 18 or 20 lots, situated between Hazelwood and Glenwood, upon which to erect that number of buildings. Mrs. Eliza E. Sanderson has sold her residence prop erty, No. 28 Esplanade street, Allegheny, to Mrs. Mary J. Gaehes for $8,000. Another transaction on the Northside, just consum mated, was that of two lots fronting 40 feet on Ackley street, Second ward, for $5,500. They were owned by K. W. Cartwright. Tho purchaser is Henry J. Hill. Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips has sold to J. Walter Hay three acres nnd a fraction in the Nineteenth ward for $10,000. Mr. Hay will plot the gronnd and put it on the market. A deal Involving several acres at Homewood is in a fair way to be closed up this week. They Watch the Market. No class of citizens has derived greater benefits from rapid transit than those whose trained Intellects and strong arms keep Pitsburg's vast and multifarious activities in motion. It has opened up to settlement thousands of acres of land previously inac cessible by annihilating distance, prevented unwarranted inflation in values, and so made it comparatively easy for any indus trious and economical wage-worker to ac quire a home. The workingman has, there lore, a peculiar Interest in real estate, and no one watches the market closer than he. He talks about it at home and in the shop. His ambition Is to become a proprietor and be independent of landlords. This is far more easy of accomplishment now than it was ten or even five years ago. Novelties in Iron. It is EUwood City. That Is the official namoof tho postofflce and the ambitious townspeople have appropriated it. Mr. E. M. Moore, of Black & Balrd, came up from Ellwood yesterday and reported that nearly all of tho manufacturing concerns that are being established there will be in operation by October 1. Among the specialties are enameled iron for signs, ceilings and roofs, drawn steel tubing, something entirely new in this country, for bicycles, gun barrels and many other things and transparent metal for skylights. It is thought the Pittsburg and W estcrn will be running trains through Ellwood by August 1. A Hint to Land Owners. Ono of the best things that can be said of Pittsburg is that it is a city of homes. What this implies of happiness and prosperity need not be pointed out in detail. It ac counts in a large degree for the conservatism of the people and the immunity from busi ness disasters, which have become proverbial. Property owners should cultivate this home building spirit as much as possible by keep ing prices within the reach of men of small means, who. with proper encouragement, will continue to be the principal buyers. Judiciously bandied, real estate will be a controlling interest in this community for many years, until all the vacant spaces shall be built up, and every hillside and hilltop be covered with comfortable homes. This is what Pittsburg is coming to. Look Out for It. Within the past week a dangerous coun terfeit 50-ccnt piece has been sprung upon the guileless public of New England. The piece Is a beauty, and shows great care and skill in Its make-up. It is one of the series of 1S87 and has tho clear ring of the genuine article. The main point of difference, how ever, lies in the thickness, which Is a trifle more than in the genuine article. The figure on one side Is rather obscure, but is, at the same time, nearly perfect, although there Is a slight depression in the shield. Business News and Gossip. As oil and. stocks go glimmering real estate rises in importance, capitalists have succeeded in finding out that it is a good in vestment. The volume of general trade is almost equal to that of the. same tlmalast year. It is larger than in 1889, when people thought they had reached tho high-water mark of prosperity. A fine property just across Craig street from the Duquesne car house Is about changing ownership. It Is said to belong to Mr. C. L. Magee. The heavy pressure in the Philadelphia Gas Company's mains is incompatible with the theory of some that the supply is giving out. Flttsburg was eighth in the Clearing Honse list last week, Baltimore ranking ahead of her by less than $30,000, and San Francisco by only $300 000. Business In mortgages has dropped almost out of sight. There were only ten on the Recorder's file yesterday, the largest being for $5,000. Straub & Morris have sold about 18 lots in Becchwood plan. Twenty-second ward. Grading and board walks have been com pleted at an expense of $8,000. The affairs of Nimick & Co. are progress ing favorably for an early settlement. The adjourned meeting of the Electric and Manufacturing Company will be held to morrow and details of the reorganization completed. Point Bridge stock Is gaining slowly on the possibility of the West End Railway coming that way. Stockholders of the National Lead Trust will meet in New York, August 27, to take action on a proposition to reduce tho capi tal stock. The matter caused some talk on Fourth avenue 1 esterday.

HOME SECURITIES. RUMOR OF NEGOTIATIONS FOB THE SALE OF LUSTER PROPERTY. English Capitalists Said to Be Behind the Deal Airbrake Continues Its Upward Movement Other Interests Steady to Strong Call for More Light. A very fair business for a midsummer Monday wai transacted rn 'Change yester day. Sales were 182 shares, and the active stocks were Pleasant Valley, Allegheny Valley Railroad, Philadelphia Gas and Duquesne 'Traction. Tho market was broader thin usual of late, and prices were steady to strong. Airbrake advanced to 93 bid -with none offered. It was held at 102. The steady ad vance in this stock is due to the excellent business being done by the company and the recent increase in the dividend rate. Philadelphia Gas was steady. Luster weak ened half a point at the last call, but it was Bcarce. Electric was scarcely mentioned. There is practically no demand for it in this market. It is thought activity will revive when the new stock appears. The Tractions were neglected. It Is the opinion that the time is not far off when they will attract more attention than any other stocks on the list. Among street reports was one to the effect that the Recompensa nnd California gold mines, lying between two of the properties of the Luster Mining Company had been sold lately to Engllsn capitalists for $320,000, of which $150,000 had been deposited. It is understood, according to the same report, that negotiations are pending for the sale of one or moie of the Luster properties to the same syndicate. A broker who is usually well posted In Luster matters said regard ing the foregoing: "It may all be true, but a few shares of Luster can still be had at ruling quotations; and whilo insiders have undoubtedly been buying at even a good deal higher figures than the present, it was probably a case of misguided Judgment. So-called insiders have been known to make mistakes before." There is a good time for local corporations to lift the stock market out of the rut by giving out statements of tbeir condition. Investors presumably know something of the workings of all these concerns, but when It comes to essential details regarding their financial condition and prospects, they are in the dark. Statements would bulla up confidence, and confidence would build up the market. ' Sales on call yesterday were: First call 10 Pleasant Valley at 22: 7 Allegheny Vallev Railroad at 3f; 25 Phila delphia Gas at 10. Second call 20 Philadelphia Gas at 11, 2 at 10.

A LITTLE STH0NGEE. Fall Prospects Cause Financiers to Put More Stress on Rates. The cashier of one of the most prominent banks said yesterday that, although money was in sufficient supply for business pur poses, the prospect of an active demand within the next month or six weeks had stiffened rates a little. Six per cent, he added, Is the usual rate, anything more or less being exceptional. Bank clearings were $2,204,714 27 and balances $403,284 56. A Buenos Ayres special says: English bank checks are quoted on the Bourse at 30 per cent discount. It is believed that all de positors will eventually be paid. Millions of dollars are involved in the failure. The run on the other banks Is insignificant. Business In this city and for that matter throughout the countrj', is paralyzed. Sev eral well-known firms have already sus pended. Gold has advanced to $3 90. A cur rency issue of $100,000,000 is expected.

STOCKS WEAK AND ACTIVE. THERE WAS A HEAVY PRESSURE TO SELL BROUGHT BY THE BEARS. Considerable Long Securities Were Thrown Over The Bears Went Gunning for This The Short Interest Beaches One Hundred Thousand Shares. New York, July 27. The stock market opened tho new week this morning with an active business for a parallel to which we must go back at least two months, but the animation was caused entirely by heavy pressure to sell primarily by the bears, but undoubtedly considerable long stock was thrown over, especially in Richmond and West Point and Northern Pacific preferred, in which several stop orders were reached, and for which presumably the bears were FIRST SECOND CALL CALL B A B A "" '.'.'.'.

St. Paul and Burlington, how ever, were equally as active, and in Burling ton the bears were specially active without meeting with the game success as In the otherstocks mentioned. The short interest is now reckoned atas high as 100,000 sharcs.and the efforts to cover on the top of the drive this morning were very noticeable, but the efforts from all appearances were not specially successful and the market dropped back suddenly into the old dullness, while p rites recovered sharply on very light trans actions. he receipts of wheat at the five principal points for the first 18 dayi of July go far to make the outstanding short Interest uneasy, and as long as thfe bulls lack strength to in augurate and carry througlua vigorous cam paign the efforts to get prices down to a level where the outstanding contracts may be covered at a profit will be continuous. These drives, however, are greatly helped by tho weakness In the Richmond and West Point securities. The common stock of the Richmond and West Point nnd Lead Trust which will now reorganize were the only really weak spot in to-day's market, while the really strong pojnt was Sugar, which scored an extreme gain of IK per cent. The bearish feeling grew stranger toward the close, howovcr, when more realizing was done and the downward movement which had made but slight progress after the first half hour was resumed and further material losses were sustained over the entire list. Lackawanna became a feature dropping suddenly over 1 per cent, while the weak stocks of the forenoon renched the lowest prices of the day. The decision In the Omaha bridge case had little or no effect upon either Union or Missouri Pacific, and the other Gould shares wero held throughout the day. ' Chicago Gas was also pressed for sale in the afternoon and scored ono of the heaviest declines of the day. Seveml specialties made marked declines, among which the Cotton Oil shares were prominent. The market finally closed lairly active but heavy to weak at the low est points of the day. The final changes are all losses with the single exception ofSugar, and Chicago Gas is off 1.

Railroad bonds were dull and did not share in the animation in stocks, but there was a heavy tone in sympathy with the movement in shares, and the Richmond and West Point issues were specially weak. The 5s lost Tyi per cent to 53, and the 0s 3 at 88. There were a few other Important lossc9k and tho market displayed a heavy tone throughout. The sales were $526,000, out of which $91,000 were in Richmond and West Point 6s. Government bonds have been dulland steady.
