( Harkets opened at East Liberty yards with 78 loads of cattle on sale against 110 loads on Monday, and 102 loads the previous week. In the offerings to-day there were about 20 carloads from Chicago. The balance were mostly from Ohio, Kentucky and Penn sylvania. There was a smaller number from Indianapolis than usual. Quality of beeves on sale this morning was, as it has been for weeks pat, poor. There were no prime lieaty lieees on sale, and very few ligiit prunes From all live stock centers comes the report that tnctly pnmo cattle are very scarce.

Butchers who require this kind order directly from Chicago. Flentj of Buj era. Buyers were present in larger force than 1iual this morning, and for the first time in Inauy weeks found themselves at a disad antage, owing to the short run. Sellers demanded an advance of 25c per cwt all alone the line, rind 10 to 16c as at once con ceedcdbj the buyer. Good beees of light weight no doubt brought 20c per cwt more than could hae been realized .i Teek ago, and all grade v. ere a shide higher.

A Sharp Decline In all Grain and Provi sions, Succeeded by Only a Partial ItaHy The Frost scare Doesn't Amount to Very Much, CHICAGO There was a sharp reaction on in all the markets on 'change to-day. Im mense receipts and easier cables more than offset heavy exports and reports of damago bj- frost, in the wheat pit. There was a rally, however, from the break, and Decom ber closed only c under last night's final figure, at $1 04?. Tho frost line was found too far north to scnouslj' injure corn, and in the face of actual receipts of S22 cars here to-day and prospective receipts of 936 cars for to-morrow values went to pieces. Traders jumped on the market with both feet. September broke from 65c to 61c and October from Gllia to J7c. Prices were but slightly improved at the close. Large salesof pork knocked the bottom out of thxt market, prices declining 25. Liberal purchases caused a reaction later, and the close was onlj- 12)c under Saturday's last figure. At the opening tho feeling in tho wheat pit was strong on reports of frost damage in the Xorthwesr, w hich vv as variouslj- esti mated up to 25 per cent. There was also good buying here on Xoi th western account, started at about $1 OS, and sold during the lirst minute or so nt Jl 05JJ to $1 0 It was quieklj up to 1 0G The frost damage talk turned out to be chietlj sensational, while lower cables, increasing weakness in New Yoik and five selling orders from there graduallj biought the bull feeling to a halt. About tho same time thcie was a bre tk of nenrlj 5 cents in corn, and the orowdsoon went ov er to the selling sido, causing a diop of 2 cents, December selling off to$l 0 re acted to $1 05U, but again started on a grand clump and fill to $1 03Ji The visible supply show ed a decrease of LaO5,O0O bushels greater than nny one expected, but trade was slow and hesitating. The market rallied some what, leaviug December at $1 04i at the close. Corn started off with a eood deal of vieor. and it looked at one time as if the bulls w ere in full control. The frost talk was the chief lever used for lifting prices, and during tho hist flv e minutes September sold from 64 to 65 cents, and October up to 62 cents, but thore were apparently unlimited quantities for sale at the advance, and the clique, seemed nnxious to find purchasers for its largo holding. October especially was offered fieelj- and soon beean to break, pull ing September down with it. Later the big receipts tor to-morrow, 933 cars, added to the weakness. October sold from 62 culy to ot, anu septemoer ironi t to 61. lucre was au increase in tho v lslble supplj- for the vv eek of 3o4,000 bushels, as compared w ith a decrease of 573,000 bushels a year ago. There was a reeov erv of about 1 cent from the lowest price, October closing at 5S and September at 62J, a net loss of 2;g cents for me lormcrana 1 cont lor the latter. The oat market was verv firm at the onen- ing, when prices were Jc higher than Satur- uays close. septemDer starteu at aijc ana Maj- at 35c. The last named futuro touched 35c, when the maiket weakened under in fluence of frco selling and the decline in other cereals. September dropped to 30Jc and May to 34c, when tnere was a reaction to 31c and 34Jc respectively. The close was at 30c for September and Mc for Maj, in dicating Jc decline since Saturdaj-.

Fork closed to-day 10 12c low er than on Satui day, lard 2Kc low ei and ribs at a decline of 5c Tho bulk of the operations, so far as the packers were con cerned, was in the way of selling the latter futures against purchases of September lor what proht appealed in the carrjing charges. A good deal of long pork was sold out on stop loss orders. The range in Sep tember poik was from $10 109 90, and in lard $6 55fi i,yt and in ribs Irom $8 55Q6 47.

CONFLICTING IT IN BETORTS REGARDING CIRCULATION. The Matthews Well Increased to 175 Uarrels an Hour The News from Several of the Outlying Fields The Cook Eot Well Still Burning. The only ripple along the oil ranks was caused late last night by a report that Mel lon & Co.'s well on the McCarthy farm, at Primrose, a mile southwest of McDonald, was showing for a good welL This was sur prising from the fact that this same well was reported by the owners Saturday to be away below the level where the fifth sand should have been found, without get ting a sign of that stratum. In place of a Gordon sand they reported only a shale. One of the reports last night was to the effect that the vv ell was making 20 bai rols an hour, and another that it was a good Gordon sand welL Both of these reports came in too late to be verified.

TO TIGHT THE MTJOITALD FIB& An Experienced Man from Oil City on His Way to the Scene. rSFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1 Oil Citv, Aug. 24. Daniel Fisher, chief of the Oil City fire department, w ith large ex perience fighting oil fires, received a mes sage this morning requesting him to go to McDonald, Fa., to extinguish, if ho can, the burning well of tho Wheeling Gas Company on the Cook lot. Mi. Fisher has superin tended the extinguishment of the biggest well fire of this kind in the Pennsylvania oil regions, namely, the Fisher OU Com pany's well on the Marshall farm at Thorn creek. It was flowing at the rato of 8,000 barrels a day when it cancht fire, and alter burning a week was doing 6 000 barrels when. tne lire was extinguisneu. on tnat occasion, Mr. Fisher says, it took two days to got in readiness the required appliances, and when they were ready but six hours were re quired to put out the flames. Until he visits the well he cannot tell what will be requited in the present in stance, lie left this afternoon in company with his brother, John J., for McDonald. Testerday's Local Features.

MANY PASSENOEES IH PEE1X. They Are Imprisoned on a Schooner Which Is Ashore In a Storm. Mostkeal, Aug. 24 The news was re ceived here late last night from the light house keeper at West Point, that schooners Ellen and Mary went ashore in a dense fog before daylight yesterday morning, two miles east of English Bay, the northwestern point of the island of AntlcostL The schooner, beside a crew of seven on board, had 60 passengers, mostly w omen and chil dren. It is stated that the only boat car ried by the schooner was smashed to pieces immediately after the vessel struck, and it is impossible to reach her from the shore. Later, however, at high tide the Ellen and Mary came off all right and her passengers landed In, safety. SICK HEADACHE 'Carter's Little Liver nils. SICK HEADACHE '-Carter's Little Liver Pills.

The3ity Acquires Thirty Acres to Be Added to Pretty Highland Park. FEATURES OF -LOCAL SPECULATION Highland Park, already one of the most beautiful places in rural Pittsburg, is to be enlarged and made still more attractive. Information emanating from City Hall yesterday was conclusn e on this point. It was learned that the park authorities have purchased the City Savings Bank property, comprising about 30 acres, adjoining the park on the s outhwest, at a price approxi mating 560,000, or 2,000 an acre. This, at first glance, will be considered a ridiculous ly low figure, but the opinion will be modi fied by the statement that the ground is so broken that it could not be cut tip into lots to advantage. It is, however, well adapted to park purposes, and its mergement into the handsome breathing place will add to its appearance and convenience. Outlook for the Week. The opening day of the week was handi capped by rain, but there was an average volume of trade and no real influences of a depressing i.aturo. Thero was a good feeling among the people who handlo the moneybags. One of them said: "We are doing well and expect to do better in a short time. There is plenty of money to move the crops and keep the wheels of industry in motion. It is too late for a stringency this year." The eoneral situation shows improvement as the season advances. Merchants are be ginning to receive large orders from the West. Clearing House statistics are more favorable than heretofore, and the money which has been piled up at Eastern finan cial centers Is again beginning to find its way into the farmers' hands. As it is tho farmer's purchases in exchange for his pro ducts that makes business boom, tho fact tnat the farmer will probably roako more money in the aggregate) this year than in any year for a decad j inclines the business community to be sanguine of great activity later on. A New York authority the Financial Chronicle says: "Although rates for call money are a little higher, the rates for time money are easier, not so much, however, for long contracts as for short-time contracts. The activity in the stock market has no doubt contributed to tho former, while the change in time rates is probably due to the announcement by Secretary Foster that he should pay all tho 4 per oents that wero presented for payment on the 1st of Septem ber. It is presumed, therefore, that at least $25,000,000 will bo disbursed by the Treasury on that account." Tho manifertations of a speculative dispo sition possess no small inteiest. The pro ceedings of w hich the grain pit has been the scene are regarded as the avant couriers ot a general speculative dovclopement, which will in time extend not only to the stock maiket, but to the whole circle of industries susceptible to such influences. Full returns for tho six months of 1891 and 1890 from 172 railroad companies show an in crease as compared with 1890 in both gross and net earnings. In the gross the increase is $7,317,193 or 1 92 per cent, which does not differ much from the ratio of increase in mileage, this being 2.63 per cent. In the net earnings the increase is $3,585,632 or 3.1G per cont. The changes thus aie small, but the important met is tnat tncy areola ravoraoie nature. Kaili oad bonds are more activ e and generally stronger. .Speculation in silver bullion certificates is apparently lifeless The movement of Mexi can dollars is reported to bo fairlv large, there being considerable demand fu London for shipments to Chiiri. The amount of silver bullion on deposit at New Yoik against certificates outs tandlug has declined to 4,C97,8S8 ounces. Business News and Gossip. The Logan property, adjoining Highland Park, the sale of which was announced In this column on Saturday, brought at the rato of $10,500 an acre. Standard Plate Glass was offered yester day at 93. Tho question of leasing the lit. Oliver in cline to the Birmingham Street Railway Company will bo settled at a. raeeifng of stockholders of the formor to be held Tues day next. Pittsburg was eighth in tho list of Clearing House cities last week. Sho will soon be seventh. London prices were slightly lower all ronnd yesterday. New York de eloped con siderable strength on limited transactions. Davis & Watson took out a building peimlt yesterday for a brlok four story buildingand hall, on Butler sti eet, to cost $27 500. For Citizens' Traction, 5's, 103K was bid: 108 asked. There was no anxiety yesterday to pur chase unlisted Traction stock. There were a rew Dias aiouna old figures.

Apathy of the leaders Responsible for a Dnll Day Memberships Still Chang ing Hands and New Blood Coming In Changes of Importance. Very little interest was taken in the specu lative department yesterday. Only one broker was present at tho opening of tho second call and two at tho third. The leature of the day was the sale of five memberships at $400 each. Kuhn Bros, se cured three. They have purchased ten within two weeks. New blood is coming into the Exchange. Price changes wero too slight to possess significance. Switch and Signal finished a fraction below the opening and Under ground Cable half a point below. Theiesc of the list held close to Saturdaj 's figures. Gossip was activo with some of the trac tions, notably Duquesne. It was stated that it was losing $150 a day, and also that it would not run into Wilkinsburg for a month perhaps not at all under the present management. If these reports be false, the company would confer a favor upon the in vesting public by a prompt contradiction of them. The intimation that the People's Natural Gas Company w ould follow the Philadelphia in putting up the price to consumers has in fluenced many residents of Wilkinsburg to return to coal. One coal dealer received 27 orders on Saturday. Sales on call yesterday were: First call 3 memberships at 400 each, 10 Luster at UK Second call 2 memberships at 400 each.

BEARS ATTRIBUTE ITS STRENGTH TO MANIPULATION. Bnt Outside Clientage Also Supports It A Good Business Well Distributed, and Prices Steadily Advance The Tew Lead ing Stocks Lose Their Prominence. New York, Aug. 24. Tho stock market to day was hampered at the oponing by a par tial interruption of communication by tele graph, and thore were comparatively few orders either to buy or sell for outside paities at the early trading, but it soon developed a decidedly strong tone with an activo and well distributed business, and material advances were scored iu all the leading activo stocks, as well as a few of the specialties. The be.ii s and traders still claim that prices go upon manipulation and off upon long selling, but whilo there is undoubtedly much skilful manipulation on tho bull side, the market has the support of a more liberal outside clientage than for some time; and while the reactionists have now been trying for nearly two weeks to bring about a mater ial set-back in the market their efforts have resulted in only a paitial reaction, and the checking for a time of the new buying, which again seems to be gathering confi dence. To day the few stocks which have of late monopolized so large a share of tho atten tion of speculators lost this prominence in tho market, and the buying orders being w ell distributed among tne leading stocks, a v cry uniform, but at the same time substan tial, upwara movement was effected. The effect of the bank reserves and tho efforts of the reactionists to again dlreot at tention to the money situation with a view to creating alarm was seen in the opening, which was quiet and rather heavy at small fractional declines fiom Saturday's final figures. The buying was, however, evi dently better than tho selling, and the de mand for stocks in all portions of the list grew so rapidly that almost immediately the-market developed a strong upward ten dency, which later spread to oven special stocks which have lain practically dormant foi some time, and m some of these material advances weie scoicd, the maiket gaining both strength and activity as prices lose in the face ot the efforts put forth to keep theindown. The news of tho day was still of tho most reassuring character, and buying orders be came mom numerous as the day wore along, and not until late in the afternoon did the animation die away or prices give any signs of having reached the top 'figures. The best prices, how ever, wero well maintained until the last hour, w hen the usual realizations caused a drooping tendency, though only heie and there was thcie any material change in quotations. The advices that the reported frosts had, after nil, dono no damage to either corn or late wheat gave the impulse which brought in the orders to buy, and the advices from the other side of the water foreshadowed the return of at lenst a portion of the gold so lately sent thore. The market was unusually free from special features, the rise being steady and well sustained, and the close quiet and firm at but a shade under the high est figures. The advances of note among the active stocks Include C . C. C. & St. L . li; Northern Pacific, yt Rock Island, I per cent. Railroad bonds wero again comparatively quiet, the trans ictions being only $1,1 6 000, out of which the Atchison incomes contrib uted $235 000 and tho Texas Pacific seconds $172,000 The market was firm all tho way out, but an inactive value shows losses fiom last night's previous sales. Tho advances, how ever, include St. Louis and Texas firsts, 2 to 77. The following table shows the prices of active stocks on the ew York Stock Exchange v esterday. Corrected dally for Till.

It must be done through the blood and the "Discovery" is tho most potent blood cleanser, strength-restorer, and flesh-builder that's known to medical science. The scrof ulous affection of the lungs that's called Consumption, and ovcry form of Scrofula and blood-taints, all yield to it. For Weak Lungs, Spitting of Blood, Bronchitis, Asth ma, and all severe, lingering coughs, it's an unequaled remedy. It's the only one that's guaranteed. If it doesn't benefit or cure, in every case, you have your money back. Can anything else, at any price, be really as cheap?' You pay only for value received. Something else, that pays the dealer bet ter, may bo offered as "just as good. Per haps it is, for him, but it can't be, for you.

We find also that tho bowelsand kidneys (nature'" sewage system) become clogged with effete matter, from which comes impure blood, boils, blotches, pimples, scrofula, scrofulous swellings and cancerous complaints. The Burdock Blood Bitters taken at thebeginning, oratany later stage, arrests the trouble, restores the dis ordered organ to activity, thereby removing every vestige of disease. B. B.
