Markets opened at East Liberty jards
"with 110 carloads of cattle on sale, against
105 load? last Monday and 102 the prei ious
w cek. Oualitv of oflenncs was,, ll possible,
below that of the last few "n eeks. Prime
hcaw beeves -hae ceased to bo a factor in
the Liberty li et ock markets. This grade
ha of late been conspicuous for its absence.
Vroinall lno-tock centers the report comes
that prime hea beeves are in short sup
plv. The fen citj butchers "who catorto
tUc first-class trade must needs older their
KirnnUet. of cattle direct from Chicago.
The demand for high grade beeves has de-
i.n..ri r much in the past lew week. s
owing to the absence of large numbers of
consumers who are taking incur oumma
rest ou mount jln or seashore. There were
no bccies oneied at East Lii erpool to day
which were jrood enough to bring Co per
riound in carload lots and jet prime heavy
J-attlc are woith moio than 6c m Chicago.
So lar as could be learned the best on sale
were sold at sj 73 The supplj of light, tidy
liutcher cattle was not up to demand, ana
for this grade markets -were strong at lat

CAME DOWN LIKE A STICK.
Another Day of Wild Excitement Among
Grain Speculators, but "Wheat Comes
Down a Few Pegs Corn, Oats and Kyo
Close II iglier Than They Open.
Chicago, Aug. 16 The fever which was
raging all Satnrdav in the wheatplt was as
much as ordinary humau constitntionscould
stand, and although the fluctuations to-day
were even wilder tho excitement was no
greater than on the closing dayof last w eek.
Tho usual news which influences the mone
tary fluctuations were unheeded. The crowd
merely bought or sold according to the im
pulse communicated bj disappearing mar
gins. All the customers of commission
houses who had trades open were called
heaily for margins, and inuoli of the trade
done in tho first half hour of the session was
in the way of closing up, as best it could be
done, such or their business as had not been
sulhcicnUy protected by margins.
The wildness of the fiist hour's transac
tions can be judged by the range of tho
pneo of December wheat during that time.
There was one simultaneous jump for it at
tho starting signal at from ?1 09 to $1 12 for
December, anttlt went sometimes lc at a
time until it struck $1 IS, and some impetu
ous spirits e- en made trades at$l U before
the advancing tendencv was checked. In
the furoie one transaction for 10,000 bushels
was made at $1 15, but the legitimate top of
the market was $1 It.
Aside from the bull fever which was rag
ing hot in the veins of nearly all of the
traders, there was plenty or bullish news at
the opening London cargoes for prompt
shipments were Is 3d higher, Liverpool was
li23d up, Paris was the equivalent of 5c
higher, and tho Xew York Produce Ex
change not being open for a half hour after
trading began here, its members were bom
barding their brokers here with buying
orders
Suddenly there w as a change of some frac
tions, cw York houses selling hea ily, and
and Rerlin was quoted 1 cent lower. Tho
decline which followed was almost as rapid,
and accompanied by about as sensational
features as was the preceding adance. It
tumbled like a huso bowlder down the side
of a mountain until it struck Jl 05, and after
m rplimmd to $1 07. tho onerators became ap
parently equalh exhausted; and a long in
ternal of quiet followed the fleice stiuggle.
Nobody had defaulted at tho Clearing House
settlement, which removed a load from the
o erstrainea commission men and gave
them time to look about themand see where
they stood. All of this occurred before 11
o'clock, or within the first hour and a half of
the session.
Thereafter, while the tendenoy was down
ward, it was at a more deliberate pace. By
12.30 o'clock the price of December hid got
dow n to $1 03, it reacted to fl 04, weakened
again and closed unsettled at $1 02J,1 03,
against $1 Ofy, at the close on b iturday, after
having coered the phenomenally wide
range of Ugllc during theuaj. On the
"cuib." aitei the close of tho session, De
cember sold up to f 1 04, calls sold at $1 10$
and puts at 98JJC.
During the excitement in the early trad
ing nothing less in margins than 10c a bushel
would be accepted bv brokers, and this fact
was a mitenal element in the excitement.
The corn market was a cood second to
wheat in the amount of excitement in the
pit and the lolence of its fluctuations.
Like the superior article it had it exciting
bulge and inglorious collapse, and the trad
ing in it was also lai-gelv go- erned at the
opening, as in wheat, by the question of
margins. On the advanco a lot of heavy
long lines weie realized upon. Among
others, B. P. Hutchinson, of 2cw York and
Chicago, commenced feeding 69e September
corn to tho shorts, and sent a dispatch say
ing that he thought both wheat and corn
great sales. ,
The opening of the maiket was highly
turbulent and frothv, with beptemberhnng
inganywhciefrom63e to Cbc. Tho highest
puces of the dav occurred shortly after
trading commenced, September reached 60c,
October 63)c, J car 51jc and May 49c. The
tendency during the rem under of the day
was strongly downward, but some reaction
set in near the close causing arecovery
from the extremity of the day's decline, and
lcai ing prices showing about lc gain over
Saturday's close for August and September.
In the stronger ending it broke away from
the controlling influence of w heat.
Oats, like eerything else, were higher
and greatly excited at the opening. Shorts
bought rreeK, the market sympathized
strongly with wheat and com, and prices
went up rapidly, though the ad ancc w as
less marked than that in the other cereals.
The-i broke w ith them, declining slowly and
closing slightly aboi o bottom figures An
ticipated hea -i receipts had something to
do with the reaction, but it was largely due
to oats.
In ryo there was a9 cent fluctuation in tho
price of the September futures. The first
sale was $1 03. the next $1 10. Theprice then
advanced to $1 U, and then dropped to $1 05
without a trade on the way. The last trade
made w as ht $1 04, which was the low est
price at which there w as any trading. It
was offered at $1 0-2 on the close. August
sold from $103 to $110, and closed at $1 04.
October staited at $1 07, touched $1 OS, and
declined to $1 00. No. 2 m store and to go m
sold from $1 07 at the start to $1 11, thence
dow n ward to $1 04.
Hog products opened higher in sympathy
with corn. In spite of the liberal receipts
of hogs mess pork started 15 cents higher,
and under an active demand advanced 2025
cents more; but when w heat and corn broke
it followed, receding S590 cents, amid con
siderable excitement and heavy sales. To
ward the close there w as a rally of 2022
cents, leaving prices 20Q30 cents lower than
on Saturday. Lard was less decided in its
fluctuations, closing w ith a loss of only 7
cents. Ribs lost 7K10 cents.
The lending futures ranged as follows, as

PITTSBURG DISPATCH.
TRADE ON THE TURN.
Business Affairs Show Steady Im
provement All Along the Line.
THE WEEK BEGINS ALL EIGHT.
Speculation Rather Quiet Here, but Lively
Enough Elsewhere.
OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP
Everything indicates that Pittsburg is
almost to resume the career of prosperity
interrupted by the financial upheaval of the
latter part of last year and beginning of
this. The question of providing better bus
iness facilities in the downtown quarter is,
therefore, of more than ordinary impor
tance. Shall the old buildings that encum
ber .and disfigure many of the streets be al
lowed to stand, or will they be removed to
make room for modern stores and ware
houses? These buildings are at the top of
their rent-producing capacity. Their sub
stitution by good warehouses would bo a
distinct gain to tho owners and to tho city.
There is no danger that they would not bo
piomptly taken. They would bo snapped
up as fast as they could be finished. Bnt a
few unoccupied buildings of this sort would
not be amiss. They would be handy in case
of emergency. This is a matter of special
interest to owners of downtow n lots encum
bered with antiquated structures that are
bringing in a rental amounting in some cases
to not more than 2 per cent on the valua
tion, and w ill never yield more.
A Hopeful Look Ahead.
Nearly everybody believes thatthis conn
try is on the eve of a great business revival.
Here is w hat a prominent business man says:
'I am disposed to be hopeful and look for
decidedly bettor times to come. Weak
spots are disappearing. Of conrse, Europe
is still in an unsettled condition, and the un
earthing of rotten concerns there, from
timo to time, is bound to affect us somewhat.
But I believe in fact I know that oyer
there they are beginning to awaken to tho
fact that this is tho country in which the
most money can be made in the next 6 or 12
months. It has been brought home to them
in terrible earnest that the crops of the
world are practically a failure, and that the
United States will have to feed it. I have
the reputation of sw mging a large lino of
stocks whon I am active, but w hat I havo
done in the past wouldnot be a circumstance
to w hat I will do m the future, as soon as I
feel reasonably certain that the corn crop
is out of danger."
Bailroads Doing Well.
With the beginning of July the railroads
of the United States turned a corner in their
affairs, and returns for the second half of
the year are likely to be more encouraging
than those for the first half. Of course harm
to the crops might even now mar the pros-
-pect in some degree, but the chance of any
very great damage seems rather remote,
and at present certainly all the indications
point in the one direction that is, toward
excellent harvosts and a large traffic for the
carriers. Returns for July cover 116 roads,
and those show $3,273,641 Increase, or 8 52 per
cent, over the earnings.for tho correspond
ing month a year ago. In no previous month
of 1891 has the result been so favorable.
Bonds leather Slow.
What may be termed a seasonable dullness
prevails in regard to railroad mortgage in
vestments. At tho same time dealers indi
cate that the conditions in connection with
prime issues show a slight improvement,
and that it is easier to sell than to buy the
best class of secuiities. The general bond
market, too, including low priced and spec
ulative issues, has improved to some extent,
mainly in sympithy with the better tone of
the share list. But the demand is still ery
much restiicted, and the absence of Lu
lopeanbujingpioduccsa noticeable effect
011 tho general situation.
Business News and Gossip.

E0ST VIEWS.
Great Things Expected for Business From
the Big Crops.
Thelocal money market was comparatively
active yesteiday, with no change in tho
sentiment of the people who control it.
Those spoken to aid conditions at home and
abioad were steadily improving, and that a
heavy fall trade was assured.
One of these remarked: "Tho opinion
lately expressed by the Governor of tho
Bank of England, that the Anancial affaiis
of Europe were in such shape as to render
disaster almost impossible, should have
great weight in this country. With tho
largest crops 111 ten years and cash waiting
for them as soon as marketed, brisk times
for a year or two at least seem to bo the only
legitimate outcome. We may not experience
tho full force of the revival this year, but
next year, I think, will surpass all others in
tho history of the country."
Checking was of good volume, depositing
heavy and" rates steady at 67o on the usual
classes of loans. Currency was scarce. Bank
clearings were $2,010,04576 and balances
$299,140 25.

HOME SECURITIES.
QUIET EV PITTSBURG, BUT VERY LIVE
LY EVERYWHERE ELSE.
The Conservative Armor of Home Traders
Proor Against Outside Influences A
Few Ups and Downs, hut None of Much
Significance Waiting and Watching.
A tremendous bulge and an equally tre
mendous break in wheat at Chicago, a strong
and aotlve share market in New York and
better values in London were the features of
the speculative markets outside of Pitts
burg yestei day.
Oidinarily these stimulating influences
would have made local speculators hop
around quite lively, but they failed'for once
to break through the conservative armor of
the home traders, and, although there was a
pietty fair business for Monday, nothing of
an exciting nature transpired, and the day
passed without an incident wortn record
ing. There were a considerable number of
oiders floating around, but were not
adjusted to the market, were utilized very
sparingly, and, therefore, were no support.
Philadelphia Gas held It own. Central
Traction improved i, and Pleasant Valley
Y&. Luster diopped People's Natural
Gas was stronger. Chartiers Gas dropped
almost out of sight. Airbrake was steady.
Unassented Electric was wanted at 10. Lib
el tv National Bank was higher, and Fidelity
Title nnd Trust lower. The changes had no
significance The situation may be reversed
to-day. When the hears grow 1 the bulls are
silent and 1 1ce veisa.
The Financial Chronicle says: "The West
inghouse Company is proceeding with the
reorganization, and although the stock on
the market is in a state of coma the busi
ness and sales of the company, say its
fuends, show very encouraging increases
from month to month. The Westinghouse
Company has certainly a very large operat
ing field and with judicious management
good results ought to accrue. AVhen the
company comes forth fully rehabilitated
there will doubtless be a fresh interest
shown in the stock."

ACTIVE STOCKS AND BONDS.
BOTH INCREASE IN STRENGTH AND
ADVANCE TN PRICE.
Bonds Positively Active for the First, Time
This Year The Movements in Grain
Have But Little Effect Good Buying
Orders From London.
New York, Aug. 17. The stock market to
day was, especially during the forenoon,
active, a volume of business being trans
acted which has not been equaled in months,
while a most decidedly strong tone marked
the dealings and higher prices were at
tained than for many a day. There was
manipulation or the maikot for both sides
of the account, but the bears were not so
powerful as of late.
The bulls who bought last week were lib
eral rcalizers on the advanco, but tho new
buying was of such magnitude that it stead
ily advanced prices. The heavy upward
movement in grain, which may have the
effect of checking the export movement
and so delaying the return Aow of gold, was
of little inAuence, and tho upward move
ment In prices continued almost uninter
rupted. Atchison was given the gi eater
Srominence, but tho business was very well
iBtrlbuted.
London came higher this morning, and
London buying ordcis weie in tho market,
w Inch, with the usual demand for the com
mission people, causod a decidedly strong
opening, Aist sales being made at lrom li to
54 per cent advance on Saturday's final
figures. The trading, in the main, presented
few special features, everything sharing in
the general strength, and the Inst prices
weie generally tho best of the day. The
market closed active and strong.
Railioad bonds, for the first time this year,
were positively active and strong, w hile the
maiket Deamed out materially, and most de
cided gains were made in the active issues.
The business of the day footed up to $1,953,

Country Produce (Jobbing prices)
Monday is as a rule the quiet day of the
week in farm and garden pioduct lines.
Perishable stuff was generally cleaned up
on Saturday, and produce commission men
were carrying light stocks to-day. Demand
for potatoes lias improved, and choice
stock is firm at a shade higher prices. Sweet
potatoes are slow at a decline from last
week's prices. Creamery butter is firm at
quotations and it is now plain that the
lowest prices of this season belong to the
past. Fruits of all kind are a drug, and will
he until the immense crops are worked off.
Peaches have supplanted bananas and both
are at tberr lowest price for years. Lemons
alone of tropical fruits ate firm. Fruit nnd
Vegetable Inspector Kllgore condemned to
the garbage pile 84 crates of cantaloupes on
Saturday. The amount of fruits condemned
this season is much less than the average
season, owing to the unusually cool w eather
of July.

Sugars are weak and slow in this market,

what a day may bring forth. Package coffee

Grain, Flour and Feed.
There was one sale on call at the Grain
Exchange to-day, namely, a car of sample
oats, iaiic, spot. Receipts as bulletined 30
cars, of which 25 cars were by Pittsburg, Ft.
Wayne and "Chicago Railway, as follows:
Six cars of oats, 2of rye, 1 of wheat, 5 of
hay, 1 of straw, 9 of flour, 1 of fed. By Pitts
burg, Cincinnati and St, Louis: Two cars of
hay, 1 of middling, 2 of wheat. Wheat, rye
and flour ha o taken another upward move,
as our quotations will reveal, and all cereals
are firm. How far tho present flurry in
wheat and flour is speculative will be deter
mined in the next few days. It is difficult to
discover any legitimate leason for the bull
movement which sent wheat np 1) to 20c per
bushel in Chicago the past few days. It is
the opinion of this editor that bullish opera
tors who fail to unload at an early day will
be sorry. Dealers are unwilling to contract
ahead at present prices, and wisely so. Ce
real markets have been wild of late, and
there is little doubt of a reaction at an early
day. Tho crops of the country are too big
for any successful bull movement that will
have staying qualities.
Following quotations are for carload lots on
track. Dealers charge an advance on these prices
from store,

THE MAN WITHOUT A STOMACH
3Iay exist as a museum freak, but most of us
recognize the stomach as necessary to life
and comfort. Most of us experience a little
ti ouble from this source occasionally, wrong
action of the stomach causing dyspepsia, etc.,
and often the tiouble extends, involving the
In erand bowels, whence we find biliousness
and constipation. We find also that the
bowels and kidneys (nature's sewage system)
become clogged "nith effete matter, from
which comes impure blood, boils, blotches,
pimples, scrofula, scrofulous swellings and
cancerous complaints. The Burdock Blood

stage, arrests the trouble, restores the dis
