Heavy Steer Hides in Light Supply
for the Past Few Weeks.
CANNED MEATS ABE ON TEE BOOH.
European Wheat Crops Short, and Our Sur-v
plus Is Sure to Be Needed.
SHE OUTLOOK FOR THE COFFEE TEADE,
Office of FnrsBriK DisrATcn, )
Ttesdit, Aug. 4.
There has been a notable decline In re
eipts or heavy steer hides In this market of
late, and a corresponding Increase of buff
hides. The average weight of hides received
during the summer months is uniformly
"below that of any other period of the year.
Very few heavy-weight beeves are slaugh
tered for Pittsburg markets at this season
or the ear. This class of cattle is reserved
for fall and winter, and farmers who hold
them are diligently engaged in adding all
jiovsible weight. With the splendid grazing
ovcry w here and prospects of cheap grain, it
Is strange that farmers should crowd so
much half-fatted live stock on to our
anarkctsas they have been doing of late.
Speaking of the heavy run of light hides a
leading dealer in this line lud this to say
'Sjmmer hides are cleaner and smoother
than thi se received in winter. Cattle fed in
the stall will naturH gather more filth
to their coverings than thoe which are per
mitted to rove at will m pasture field's. A
well fed bullock does not ueeearily yield
a heavy hide. My experience has been that
a medium steer as a rule throws off as good
a hide as inv. It is true that a half fed steer
Trill not yield a firt-class hide in any case,
and it If equally true that a well-fed one
will not necessarilj vield a first-clas nide.
Tho breed has very" much to do with the
quality of the hide. "Some breeds contribute
most of their feed to fat. Others contribute
largely to the hide. At this time our re
ceipts of heavv hides are light, andare likely
to be until fall, when heay beeves will be
xcady for market."'
Canned Meats Hoomlng.
The canned meat trade is now at its best.
Tho season was slow to open up on account
of cool weather in May and .Tune, which
proved a dampener to summer outings. But
July fully made up for lost time, and tho
amount "ot goods handled here for that
month broko all former records. Prices in
general arc V per cent higher than they
were lat season. Corned be-f has the lead.
Said a representative of this industry: "Our
tales for Jul v shotted nn increase of 2,000
ctscsoter tho corresponding month or last
year, and the increase for August, which is
our last month, promises to be still greater.
The picnic season is non at its height, and
will be for a month to come, and notwith
standing tho delay of trade caused by the
cool weather of the early summer, we are
confident that onr trade for the season will
be 00 per cent Lirgei m volumo than it was
last j ear."
"Wheat Sliortnge In Europe,
"The London .Financial Times has made an
estimate of the shortage of the wheat crop
of the various IJuropcm countries. It esti
mates that Great Britain mil be obliged to
import 130,000,000 bushels: that France will
need, in addition to her own production,
loo.OQO.000 bushels; while Italy will require
41 K) 000, and tho rest of Kurope certainly
85,000,000 As the jield in Kusia is much
less this year than formerly, it i estimated
that not 6ierl03,C03 0ii0 bushels can be looked
lot fiom thatcountn; and that the rest of
tho -400 000 000 bushels needed will have to
come from India and the United states.
And even taking all the surplus weeat of
these two countries, theie will still be a
6hoitage of some flO,COO,000 bushels: so the
present outlook is that there will be a sharp
demand for cverv bushel of wheat we are
able to esporc, "Vheat Is already pouring
into Chicago In eveess of any pre ious vear;
and w ill soon be lea ing our seaboard at tho
rate of 5,000 OOi. bushels a week. All shipping
room has been engaged lor the next two
months."
The Coffee Crop.
The Boston Herald has this to say of the
Situation and outlook in this lino of trade:
"The market on cofieeis firm, and trade is
good. The position statisticnlls-does weaken
somewhat, though not jet in the way of
mild coffees, as will appear below , In regard
to Santos coffees. The New York market
closed the week stead and unchanged. Tho
llio cable gives receints for the day of 8,000
begs, and of Santos 4 000 bags. The stock or
Bio on hand Is 1-9,000 bags against loO.COO

WHEAT FLUCTUATES.
Tho Market "Was First Weak and Then It
Strengthened It Was Governed by
Outside AIi ices, Which Were Contradic
tory Daring the Entire Day.
CHICAGO Tho wheat market was strong
and weak bj turns to-daj, and the close was
about He lower than yesterday. The
market was chiefly governed by outside ad
Mces, and as thesowcro more or less con
tradictory the market was kept see-sawing.
Aiound thcopenmg Paris was quoted strong
nnd advancing: later, it was said to be weak
and lowei. Li crpool.w Inch had been enjoy
ing a couple or holidaj s.was quoted six pence
higher, and then it was said that bujers
were holding off. There was a suspicion
that the repoits were being manipulated.
All the prlate advices -were weak, but the
Hoard of Trade's cable quoted Pans 33 cent
imes higher Antwerp 23f continues higher,
and Berlin 2 marks higher on August. Clark
ired from New York that his closing Liver
pool cable was Vi penny higher.
New York telegraphed that tho amount of
wheat on pissage showed an increase of
l,CO0,WW busnels, but some traders contended
that the official statement would notappear
till to-morrow. New lork opened higher
but was soon reported to be selling. Then
tho ticker report said that local receipts
were fl o cars o er the estimates, but later
corrected it to CO cars under. Altogether
tho new s or the day w as badly muddled.
The early action of the maiket indicated
that It was bulled bv parties w ho w ere long
of December around Die, and that they w ere
making a market to sell on, for as soon as,
with the assistance ol fnghtencd shorts.it
had sold up to that figure Irom 91c at tho
nnalllniT tflO Iniliru tM.tr.tll ,11 In, trntltAlp lw.T.1
ings freely Tin- adnco wns rapid and ac- I
companica u consiucrauie excitement. The
decline w as just as rapid, a number of heavv
traders offering with freedom.
Logan, Counselmau and Day, Schwartz,
Dunec and others were leodmg the crowd
with all ihe wanted, the ellmg being un
derstood to ho for New York una Now York
accounts
December dropped under this load, then it
rallied to MlJic but broke again, this time to
8OV4C, advanced to 91l,ic, ruled quiet during
the lRBt hour, operatois being suspicious nnd
bei. llderolby the conflicting reports eased
oil ncai tho close and closed w eak at Ho-Jc.
Corn wns gen eroed largely by the course
ot wheat: tho opening was quiet at 3737Jc
for September, but when wheat made the
.spin t, becnnio excited in sympathy, and
September sold at 57c From this point
there wns a di op to 5oc, nut again rail led to
37Jc, eased off became dull and closed at
56ifcc. Oats were quiet and steady through
ut tho scf sion, with fluctuations confined
to'ie range for September.
Tne provision pit v.as also subjected to
cortradictory leports Tho estimated re
coipts of hos weie 13,000, and the leports as
to the number received urled between
fc.OOOand 111.009. while tho condition of the
market wns quoted both as firm and higher
and steady. Tho market opened rather
and steady. Tho market opened rather
Ann, but when one of tho dealers endear- I
ored to market some of his holdings of pork
there was no demand and prices went off.
There w as a slight rally later, -and then an
other recession, with the close near tho
bottom. Bibs follow ed pork. I-ardwasdr.il

POINTS IN REALTY.
Business on a Substantial Basis and
Conservatism the Rule.
THE FIELD FOR. SHALLOW PURSES.
Apathetic Feeling in Speculative Circles,
With Values Easily Moved.
OFFICE AM) STEEET NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Dealing in Pittsburg real estate has been
for the last three or four years conducted on
strictly business principles. Sentiment has
evaporated, leaving the fact standing out,
prominent and nigged, that lands and houses
represent hard-earned money. The days of
selling on a hurrah are gone. Now and then
an excursion takes place, but the crowds ttat
attend such sales are largely made up of
buyers. The alluring prospect of a good
time has lost its charm. Tho conditions of
the market have undergono a permanent
change for tho better. Conservatism has be
come the rule
This is shown by the careful manner in
which purchasers approach the market. A
leading broker remarked yesterday that he
had no troublo to make sales during the
boom in tho seventies, when acres and lots
were bought without investigation. But
now he had to take the buyer over the prop
erty and explain every detail that could
possibly affect the valuo of the investment.
That this is a strong feature of the market
will not bo disputed. It is nlso a foil to
speculation, and, besides, has a tendency to
keep owners within reasonable bounds. A
buyer wants to realize all the advantages of
his investment, and will not pay fancy
prices.
Downtown business property is no doubt
a good purchase at present prices. There is
as much profit m it as there was ten years
ago, but it takes more money to handle It.
It is beyond the reach of shallow pockot
books. Men of small means must, therefore,
turn their attention to other localities. A
forecast of what Pittsburg will be in a few
years leads to the conclusion that peoplo of
this class who are seeking Investment for
their comparatively rew dollars will find the
largest percentage of profit in suburban
property. The development or tho rapid
transit system or the city is adding yearly to
the vnlue of outlving realty.
A fair business is being transacted in
acres, and buyers are taking caro of their
purchases without much difficulty. Pay
ments are being made as they fall due, and
few defaults occur. There are owners who
would willinglv sell, but they are not willing
to make sacrifices. The lot market is so
active that they feel confident that reasona
ble advances will leward their patience.

THE FINANCIAL DBD?r.
Banks Doing a Sensonablo Business An
other Argument Against Tight Money.
While there was no special buoyancy in
local monetary matters yopterday, there
were no bear cards. Considerable paper was
bought, and the call "for loans was fair.
Funds were adequate to all requirements.
Bates were steady at GQ7 per cent on all
classes of accommodations. Exchanges
were $1,&9,305 45 and balances $201,337 87.
A bank official stated that thioughout the
West generally the crops are all that could
be desired, and that tho money to move
tbcni w 111 be. largely sunnlied by the West
ern financial centers. They will have to
look to the East for sonio financial aid, but
they are more indepondent of such assist
ance than ev er belore. This is another ar
gument against tight money this season.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, rouging from IK to 2 per cent, last

HOME SECURITIES.
ANOTHER DAY ON 'CIIANGE WITHOUT
SPECIAL INCIDENT.
A Light Movement, With No Material
Changes in Quotations Stocks More
Valuable Than They Appear Waiting
on the Public Points in Bonds.
There were six sales of local stocks yes
terday, footing up 190 shares, contributed by
Airbrake, Luster and Hidalgo. Outsido
markets wore erratic, bobbing up and down
without apparent cause, other than that
furnished by the ebb and flow of demand.
On the local board there was no pro
nounced sentiment to show how brokers ex
pect the cat to Jump. Conditions are all
right for a lively whirl in a month or six
weeks, but the apathy of the public is so
pronounced as to cause apprehensions of a
prolongation or the dull season beyond the
usual time for a rally Irom the summer
slnnp.
There were a few price changes yesterday,
but nono of much significance. There wei e
orders for Philadelphia Gas, which caused
the stock to finish Ji better than the open
ing. Pleasant Vnlley was a trifle stronger,
but tho rest of this group were dull and fea
tureless. Luster improved a fraction. Elec
tric was neglected. The rest of the list was
practically unchanged.
Stocks are intrinsically more valuable
than quotations indicate. In fact, they are
in better shape than six months ago. A
number of weak spots have been strength
ened within that time. Dullness and weak
ness go hand in hand. This is shown by
tho quick recoveries w henevor tho pressure
is removed, denoting that the drag is due to
the apathy of buyers, and not to anything
connected with the stocks.
In regard to bonds an expert says: "In
vestors have a wide choice now if they wnnt
to pick up bonds which at currentprices dis
count any trouble likely to happen to the
properties they are secured upon. This is
an opportunity Tor the investor who has the
nerve to ouy in nan times, w men wie ma
jority or buyers never have. It is always
the few who pick up tho bargains."
Sales on call yesterday were:
First call 50 Airbrake at 100.
Second call 10 Luster at 12."
Third call 100 Hidalgo at , 10 Philadel
phia Gas at 11J, 20 Luster at 12.

MORE MANIPULATIONS.
THE
STOCK MARKET OPENS WEAK
AND THEN FLUCTUATES.
Professionals Manage to Control the Many
Movements A Scheme "Which Failed to
Operate Exactly as It Was Desired by
the Operators.
New York, Aug. 4. Tho stock market
opened weak this morning, but stiffened up
inter, prices being well held throughout the
day, with small and irregular fluctuations
in all but a few stocks w hicli were subject to
more than the usual manipulation. The
market has sunk into a purely professional
stato and the lower opening was doe to a
piece of manipulation which, however,
railed of its ultimate object. Last evening
there was considerable buying, which ad
vanced prices at tho close. This stock was
sold in London before the opening here with
the express design or loworing quotations
thorc and making a weak opening hero. The
design was so far successful, but long stock
failed to come out at the concessions made,
even when still lower piices wero estab
lished by further raiding.
Union Pacific, Louisville nnd Nashville
and Northern Pacific preferred yielded eas
ily, especially the first named, but this
weakness was fairly offset bj-the stubborn
firmness in Burlington, St. Paul and Atchi
son and the decided strength in New Eng
land, even though tho last was In all proba
bility due to manipulation also. The opera
tions mentioned gnve tho room a"bearish
temper, and free selling of the weak stocks
wns made to appear for London account,
w hich aided to produce that effect, hut the
fa voraole nature of the general situation is
now receiving more attention, and long
stocks having gone into stronger hands of
late do not come out with any freedom
under the attacks ot tne bearish element.
Material losses were sustained in Union Pn
cific, Louisville, Bock Island, Sugar and
Northern Pacific preferred, but the conces
sions in the remainder of the list were con
fined to small fractions as a rule. As usual
of late theso stock, with the addition of
New England, monopolized the business of
the day, transactions in tho otheis being
without significance in any wav.
i tie opening decline was tollowed bv mod-,
erate reaction.but thebears made all the cap
ital possible out of the failure ot Backer, and
w ith the aid of nimors in regard to Union
Pacific, among which those that the June
statement would be a poor one and that
there was difficulty in handling the floating
debt, though neither could bo enfled in any
way, broke the stock nearly 3 per cent.
Louisville was sold apparently for account,
and with Bock Island, Northern Pnciflc pre
ferred. Sugar and St. Paul, scored material
losses before the closo of business. The gen
eral list remained dull and heavy in sym
pathy with traders. No change in the tem
per of tho speculation occurred, and the
close was quiet but heavy to weak nfter a
Blight reaction in the last hour. The final
changes, with tho exception of New England
and ono or two specialties, show marked
losses, and Union Pacific declined 2;, Sugar
Z. Louisville and Nashville, Missouri Pa
cific and Northern Pacific preferred each
li, St. Paul 1 per cent, the rest of the list
losing generally large tractions.
Kailroad bonds w ere still, and while show
ing no change of note, revetsed the courso
of the stock market in the early trading,
most issues traded in advancing slightly.
Later, however, the steady pressure upon
tho share list hud its effect and bonds
yielded, slowly as they had risen during tho
lorenoon. The final changes are insignifi
cant in all the active bonds. The transac-'
tions root up $508 005.
Government bonds have been dull and
steady.
State bonds have been entirely neglected.
The Post says: The presont stock mai ket
may be fairly characterized, as a market
seeking to touch bottom. In other words.

thoruDge 0f pr2M is already so low, in
view of the prospects for the fall and winter
rnilioad business, that experience teaches
operators for tho decline to move cautiouply
and avoid any chance of ninning counter to
a quiet buying up of securities by those
large capitalists who aio traditionally first
harbingers of the recovery in prices. Thrco
weeks ago tho market wns allowed to drift,
tho boar operators testing with moderate
sales ono stock after another, with the pur
pose of discovering what elements of sup
port were behind theso properties and what
chance there was of bringing long stock
upon tho market. The result of this testing
procession was the vigorous drive at prices
in the last fortnight. Similar experi
menting has been going on since the open
ing of the present week.
The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the New Yort Stork Exchange i esterday.

Couxtry Produce (jobbing prices) At the
Monday meeting of the Elgin Butter Board
price of creamery was advanced K P51
pound. The advance will be due here on
Friday. All choice grades of creamery but
ter are In light supply in this market, and
there is little doubt that prices will soon
find a higher level. Ohio cheese is also in
short supply and manifests an upward,
tendenoy. Eggs aro weak and slow, and our
quotations are reduced in accordance with
facts. Everything In the lino of farm and
garden products is coming in in, qnantitles,
beyond the power ot our markctB to absorb,
and the buyer has the field. Quality of
watermelons and cantaloupes arriving of
late shows a decided improvement over
earlier receipts. Ann Anindel melons have
put in their first appearance within a few
days. Tropical fruits or all kinds go slow
because of the over-supply of home-raised
fruit.

FOTrETEEN WERE KILLED.
Bell Punchers Are Attacked by a Big Crowd
of Eonislana Toughs.
New Orleans, Aug. 4 The latest dispatch
from Lnko Charles states that everything is
quiet, but the shooting at Lockmoore on
Sunday was even worse than at first re
ported. It seems that a crowd of toughs,
calling themselves "To-day's Gang," em
ployed by the company, nave been at en
mity with the native employes, nicknamed
the "Bell Punchers" for some months. On
Sunday morning the former armed them
selves nnd deliberately shot down all the
'Bell Punchers" they could find. A wounded
man who left the sccneyesterday states that
14 men were killed and two more were miss
ing. Another account of the riot is to the effect
that it was the breaking out of an old feud
between a band of robbers, known as the
"Worth Gang," and the cattlemen of that
section. Tho former had been committing
depredations upon the community for quite
a time. They had been notified by the
ranchmen to desist and leave the country,
but they continued their proceedings until
the fight began. The Redboncs" are the
leaders of the cattlemen. A man named
Welsh, it is said, led the gang of toughs, and
killed three men in less than a minute's
time." ThH report increase the number of
wounded to 16. The Coronerhas gone to the
scene, and an investigation Is in progress.

HIS CHILDREN.
SMy little son had a number
of bad ulcers and running
S sores to come on bis bead
and body, which lasted for
four years. I tried all tha
doctors and many remedies, but the
sores still grew worse, until I did not
expect him to recover. My friends
were confident that if thesores healed
it would kill him. I at length quit
all other treatment and put him on
Swift's Specific, and less than three
bottles cured him a sound and
healthy child. S. S. S.,
also cured a sore on another
