A Review or the tA ee It.
Home-s Rowicn. Briggs & Co report 93
loads of cattle on sine Monday, about half or
nliirh came from Chicago and Indianapolis
and of a very common class, consisting of
hellers, rough half-latted steers and stock
cis, wh'fh had to bo sold very low to clear
tho yards uf such stock. In fact, bnyers
made their own prices and sellers had" but
little to ay in thcdcals. Smooth fat butcher
ing grades and good shipping beeves were
scarce and found ready sale at strong last
week's prices, and why there are so many
hair-fatted and thin cattle put on the ln-u-l:ct
now, w ith Mich mi abunrtnnce of fc-d iu
the country, ro ono can understand, except
on the thorny that all are afraid they will
ha e last fall's prices repeated this fall. If
such cattle continue to coino another

,,- io.ms were
two weeks, they will nae to nesoiuas low

THE PROVISION PIT.
Interest Centered There at the Sessions of
tho Board Wheat Opened Weak and
Lower and the News Was Bearish in
tho Kxtrcme.
CHICAGO The provision pit w-ns the
center of interest on tho Board of Trade to
day, and pork set the pace for everything
else traded in by dropping 90c per barrel in
price. It was in a very panicky condition
in lact, and it looked for a time ns if there
might be a general slump in everything
traded in on the floor, but tho downward
movement in pork was finally temporarily
checked, and grains were steadied before
anything like a. sensational break had been
recorded in them.
The provision market has been steadily
getting itself into shapo for such a break
for the past week. Tho enormous stocks
and tho near approach of tho time when
September pork would be deliverable, tho
grow ing concern as to what could be done
with it and the Increasing confidence of the
bears has been developing weakness for
several days past. Tho appearance of Ream
as an nggresslve seller and the number of
tailors who followed his lead caused con
sternation among the longs and a growing
desn e to get rid of what was beginning to
be regarded as vory undesirable prop-ty.
So the break once started it did not take
much to bring on a panic to stop orders, and
exhausted margins also played an important
part: and be-idcs, the leceipts of hogs were
4,000 larger than expected and prices at the
stockyards 10 cents low er.
The market opened excited and exceed
ingly rugsed, with offers all the way be
tween $11 15 and $11 20, nearly every broker in
the maikct selling, while there "was no one
to buy. The result that sclleis continued to
offer the product down, but little oi no
ttnding took place thereuntil $1100 was
reached, or 32c below yesterday's closing
price. There w ci cnot enough bnyes even at
this figure to sustain the market and tho
price continued to go down, with some small
temporary reactions, till $10 35 was reached,
a loss compared with yesterday of 87c.
Then there was a rally to $10 50, where it
held pretty steady for a time, then it made
another dip downward, this time touching
$10 32 became dull, but rallied a little and
closed at $10 40.
Lard sympathized with pork in its weak
ness, but" its break was less radical, tho de
cline in tho market only 1320c
Shoi t ribs declined from$o 82 for Septcm
berat the close yesterday to $0 5, at w lilch
thev closed.
Vhcat opened weak nndc lower at 0o?c
for December. Liverpool was firm, but Lon
don cargoes prompt shipment were 3d
low er; Paris was steady and quiet and Ber
lin was S marks higher. Tho w eather In the
wheat belt on this side was good, crop re
ports were encouraging and w heat was be
ing marketed freelv. BrmUtreeCs reported
an increase of 2,'JOO.OOO bushels in sight cast
of the Rocky Mountains since last w eek and
a decrease of 500,000 on the Pacific coast.
Minneapolis wired the following: Tho
weather is perfect, the warmest of the sum
mer. Nothing can now stop the biggest
crop ever raised.
Other news was bearish and the market
was weakened by large offerings of long
wheat. Schwartz and Dupec, who have
lately been selling for New York parties,
sold tJCO 000 bushels. There was active felling
by eailj buyers, including Logan, White
and ICcnnett Hopkins. Then there was
weak news from Liverpool and New York
failed to export anv wheat. About tho only
bullish item was tho discovery that the in
ci ease in wheat on ocean passage within a
week was only 123 000 bushels, instead of
1,000 000 as reported yesterday. December
declined to 90s and was held around that
figure for some time by the purchases of
shoits, but when they were filled up the
market weakened again, going to 8Jc. This
was assisted by lower prices at New York
and St. Louis. Private advices of lower
prices on the continent and the United King
dom witli foreijmers, reported as selling
heavy in New York. From the bottom there
was a rally to !lJS0c The market was
rather doll and steady during tho last hour,
closing at Kc.
Corn Joined In the general downward
movement, all the options ruling lower.
JhadstreeCs reported au increase of 903 000
bushels in the supply In sight. September
SLarieu ?gc lower ai oac anu sagcu ou lo
553-4C, reacted to the opening price, w cakened
to .Vc, held steady during the last hour and
closed at 5oa Oats weio dull and weak
during most of the session, but clo-ed at the
top price, the same as yesterday's close, with
fluctuations confined to lie range.

THE HILL TOPS.
Features of Perrysville Avenue, the
Pet of the Northside.
BITS OP LOCAL AND LEGAL HISTORY
Extensive Estates and Handsome Homes of
Many Prominent Citizens.
BUILDING OPERATIONS AND VALUES
In attempting to describe the beauties of
the outskirts, the observer Is placed in the
position of the young man who had two
"best girls." He could be happy with either
were the other dear charmer away. Each
surpasses tho other In some of Its aspects,
nnd each lias individuality nnd allurements
peculiar to itself. The quarter travel sed by
Perrysville avenue Is second to none in nat
ural beauty and picturesque effects.
Federal street proper ends at West Jeffer
son streot, a short distance beyond the Nun
nery Hill Incline. At this point, to tho
right, begins Federal lane, or, nccording to
a decision of the State Supreme Court, the
old Stato road, 80 feet wido.which terminates
at the old Reserve line, running east and
west, between tho Bissell and Tusey prop
erties. This road strikes Perrysville ave
nue near the Mary Boylo estate.
Incidentally it may bo remarked here that
the widening of Federal lane to 60 feet, as
proposed, to make it uniform with Federal
street, will be a costly undertaking for Alle
gheny City, as many valuable properties w 111
have to be vacated in whole or part, among
which aro those of Colonel Androws, 31c
Naugher, K. J. Bubb and others.
So many complications enter Into a des
cription of this quarter of the Northside that
it is difficult to tell a straightforward story.
It Is therefore necessary to go back a little.
Starting at Carroll street and bearing to tho
left, Perrysville avenue proper Is enconnt
ered.This road was purchased by the Pleasant
Valley Railway Company from the Plank
Road Company, and afterward by tho city,
to tho preso it terminus of the Pleasant
Valley lino, three miles out, for $14,000, thus
doing away with tolls.
It has been stated in this column that
Perrysville avenuo is to be widened "to CO
feet, and that tho grade has been fixed by
the City Engineer. It conforms to the grade
of Charles street, necessitating some deep
cuts and heavy fills. This Improvement, it
is confidentlv expected, will he commenced
tho coining "fall and bo pushed forward as
fast ns possible.
The scenery along Perrysville avenue Is ns
fine as that of any other locality of the
county. From many points splendid views
nre obtained of the two cities and a wide
scope of country diversified by hill and
dale, covered with cozy homes or orchards
and waving grain. From one point the ob
server catches a glimpse of tho Allegheny
Mountains, 100 miles or more away, and a
distinct view of the rivers for a distance of
seven or eight miles.
A large number of prominent people have
their homes on ornear the avenue. Among
these arc Hon. Thomas M. Marshall and his
son, young Tom: A. T. Pentecost, James
Hunter, J. C. Porter, David Hunter, Rev. W.
E. Stewart, Mr. Mercer, of the Citizens' Na
tional Bank, J. B. Murray, Charles Fonoray,
H. M. Boyle, A. II. Gerwig and Pauline
Brothers.
Quite n number of handsomo dwelllncs 50
or more are in course of election, and many
others have lately been finished nnd occti
nied. It is tho most progressive locality on
the northside, nnd no foiecast would do
justice to its possibilities.
Among the public buildings are tho Gusky
Orphanage, several churches, public school,
Western University and the Brashear Ob
servatory. There is a large amount of vacant ground,
always a feature of a new district, but It is
nearly all plotted and selling rapidly.
Anions the large estates are those of Watson,
aboutSOO acres: Mercer, Ptiscy, Bissell, Boyle,
Elliott and Mclntyre.
Land values, of course, vary, as In other
places, nccording to location and eligibility.
Tho range lrom $40 to $50 a foot on the ave
nue. There was recently a sale by the Fi
delity Title and Trust Company of 150 feet
by 300, with improvements, at $100. This
property adjoins the Pentecost plan laid out
In 1872, and now thickly built up. Average
ranges fiom $2,100 to $3,000.
The Introduction ot rapid transit .has been
of immense advantage to this district, but
there is room for further improvement.
There aro many delays, nnd two fares are
charged transient passengers. With the im
provement of the avenue these drawbacks
will cease. Ultimately there will be two
tracks and one faie.

Weakness was a.feature, The market had
no support from tho buying element. There
were orders, as theio always are, "but they
were below tho views of sellers. Nearly
everything on tho usually active list was

to point out that differences between bids

tiiis narrow chasm would havo been quickly

The best bid for Central was Ri, the lowest,
perhaps, on record. It is handicapped by
recent decisions. No one wants to buy a
lawsuit or incur possible loss by vacating
streets or buying right of way. Pleasant
Valley finished tho same ns the previous
dav.
For non-assented Electric 10 was bid,
offered at 11. It is thought there will he
very little ot this left by the time the re
organized stock is listed. The latter will,
no doubt, cut quite a figure in future deal
ings. The new company is on a better basis
than tho old.
London was slow and weak. There was
heavy selling in New York of Northern
Pacific, supposed to be for James Koene.
Continental markets were firmer.
Bids and asking prices at each call are appended:

AN ACTIVE MORNING.
THE STOCKMARKET BECOMES SLEEPr
IN THE AFTERNOON.
An Attack on Chicago Gas Knocks Down
the Price Less than 10 Stocks Furnish
Seven-Eighths of the Business Done
On 'Change.
New Yobk, Aug. 5. The stock market to
day was comparatively activo during tho
forenoon, when all .the business of impor
tance was done, nnd dull in the afternoon
with almost complete stagnation in prices.
The market opened with a continuation of
the raids by tho bearish contingent, but
Chicago gas notwithstanding the announce
ment of a dividend was selected to bear tho
brunt of tho attack, nnd soon displaced
the Union Pacific from tho leadership. The
movement was rapid, and within a quarter
of an hour 3 per cent, had been knocked
from its price at the opening. More atten
tion was afterward given to Union Pacific,
and, while the decline in It was not to he
compared with that of yesterday, it reached
materially low figures. ,
Thoiewas undoubtedly considerable sell
ing of long stock, but the repetition of tho
rumors in regard to the financial standing
of the company, and the attributing of long
selling to tho approach of the session of Con
gress, which Is five months away, pointed
unmistakably to bear manipulation as the
chief cause of the drop in the stock. At the
same time there was no evidence of support
to it beyond that given by the purchases of
previous shoit sellers. The market as usual
during the continuance of such operations,
was narrow, and less than ten stocks fur
nished seven-eights of the business done,
tlie rest of the list being without a feature ot
any kind, while even the active stocks with
exception of tho two leaders were dull. The
reco ( ery after the pressure was removed was
the occasion of the greater portion of tho
business of tho day, but tho final rally
brought the figures of the day up to a re
spectable number.
Prices continued to fluctuate within nar
row limits witu a, general upward tendency
throughout the afternoon until In the last
hour, when the effort to cover assumed
larger proportions, and were accelerated by
n story that a large amount of gold had been
ordered for Importation from France. No
truth could bo found in the story, but It
served to make the upward movement In au
the leading shares as sharp as the decline in
the two stocks during the early trading.
Tho Corn roads were especially prominent
In tho rise, nnd many of the activo shares
made material advances at the time. The
market finally closed quiet but strong at the
best prices of the day. The final changes
nre generally fractional advances, but Bur
lington is up 1 and New England IK. while
the losses 01 Importance were cnt dow to 1
in Chicago Gas and 1 per cent each In Union
Pacific nnd Colorado Coal.
Railroad bonds wero n little more active
and followed closely the temper of the share
list, being as a rule heavy in the forenoon
nnd stronger later In the day. There were
marked movements, however.'nnd no mate
rial declines, while the Reading issues nnd
the Itichmonds W. P. 6s showed considera
ble strength In the final denllngs.Tbe Term
inal 6's shot up 3 per cent to 90, but no othor
marked changes occurred. The trading
reached $611,000, with no specially activo
issues.
Government bonds have been dull and
firm.
State bonds hnve been entirely neglected.
The following table shows the prices of active
stocks on the New York btock Exchange yesterday.

with improvement of quality comes a de

THE MAN WITHOUT A STOMACH

recognize the stomach as necessary to Ufa
and comfort. Jlost of us experience a little
trouble from this source occasionally, wrong
action of thestomachcauoinir dyspepsia, etc..
and often the trouble extend, in volvlnz the
liver and bowels, whence we find biliousness
and constipation. We find also thnt the
bowelsandkidnpys (nature'" sewage system)
become clogged with effete matter, from
which comes impure blood, boils, blotches,
pimples, scrofula, scrofulous swelllncs and
cancerous complaints. The Burdock Blood

sta?e, arrests the trouble, restores the dis
ordered orcan to activity, thereby removing
everv vestige of disease. B. B. B. i an abso
