week, a decline of 40 loads from receipts of
last week. Offerings last eek numbered
120 loads and the previous week 115 loads.
"With the reduced quantity came an in
creased number of bin era, so that markets
opened at an advance of 10 to 20c per cwt,
which adv.mce was fully maintained, es
pecially for good butcher beeves. The lat
ter vi ere in very short supply, aud all of
fered ere promptly taken at fully 20c per
cwt better prices than could lia e been ob
tained for i-inular grades a week ago.
There were no otnctly prime heavy beeves
on salo this week m car load lots, and very
fen light primes. Average quality of offer
ings wa o eii low cr than that of la-t w eok.
The best on ale did not bring above $5 50 in

Kat Liberty stock j ards b3- Holmes, Uowlen,
Unggs & Co
We leport 78 loads of cattle on sale this
week, against 112 last week, making a short

age, w ith a better attendance of buyers, re
sulted in prompt sales of all offers". As to
quaht there was no improvement, and de
inind for good fit beeves could not be
nupjied. and Mich grades were readily sold
at l"i to -5 cents oer last week, while com
mon grade-, w ere about 10 to 20 cents higher,

MARKETS IRREGULAR,
vTlieat Generally Bearish, but Qalck to
Respond to Bullish News Tho Cold
"Wave Helps a Strong Close The Tactlc
of the Corn Clique.
CHICAGO The speculative markets
on Change to-day acted irregularly,
with grain averaging weaker and provisions
firmer Trade was fairly active, and the
local feeling in corn and wlreat was bearish,
but was easily startled on receipt of nny
bullish reus.
Loner cables from Liverpool and weak
domestic markets, together with the nerv
ous fear of immense receipts, were weaken
ing factors, and caused a weak and lower
opening for wheat. December started at
$1 04J61 04i, and sold off to $1 04. New
loikwas cieditcdwitli beinga libernlsol
ler, us has also the Northwest, in anticipa
tion of big deliveries in that quarter. Offers
were readily absorbed, howo er, and early
sellers were soon fighting to get back the
wheat they parted with, giving the bulls a
chance to get in their woik. Under bullish
news the market soon began to display
much strength, and December finally lm
proed lJic, selling up to $1 03, then broke
.ind tell to $1 04J, back and torth, a nerv
ous feeling being apparent on the part of
traders, who wero apprehensive over the
cltectoftho impending large deliveries of
grain in the Northwest.
Another cold ui e was reported from the
Xorthw est, with tho mercury hovering near
the frost line. Wheat again hada bulge,
December selling up to $105J, off to and
clo-ing at $1 04.
The action in com to-day was almost a
repetition of yesterday, though on a smaller
scale. The clique let the crowd sell themselves
very short, then supplied their necessities
at higher prices The market was quiet and
easy during the first hour. Poptemberstarted
at63Jc and October at 53Jc. October sold
downto5Sc early, rallicifand held steady
until later on, when a sudden jump in wheat
caused a scare among the corn snorts, nnd
Septcmbor made a "quick spurt to 60c and
October went up to 6Gc. Tho clique then
began to sell and there was a rapid break to
642c for September and 53c for October. Sep
tember closed at 64Jc and October at 50Jc.
Oats were again weakened by large re
ceipts, the arrivals reaching 322 cars. Tho
market was rather quiet with sales of Sep
tember at rO?30;c, closing at 30c; Slay
sold at 33j;3tiic.
Kc iulea quiet, with cash lots firm and
options weakening about Jc from jestcr-d-w's
closing figures. Iteceipts continue.
heay:Xo 2 sold at 9494c and Septem
ber at a,5-4')4e and closed at U3c
Provisions were only fairly active, and
prices were generally easier. Lard and i ibs,
as well as pork, sold considerably lower
carl3 hogs being 510c cheaper, but subse
quently allies rose in response to a better
Inquirv. October pork opened at $10 25, sold
to $10 27'$ broko to $10 17. back to $10 27i
and at 12 o'clock neon was $10 25. Lard was
quiet and Ann at $6 55J56 60 lor October; ribs
sold f roai ?6 (2 to ?6 72K for October.

THEORETICAL TOWN - BUILDING.
Names of Some of the People Who Are
Erecting Houses on MV Washington.
TnRAPID GROWTH OP WILKINSBURG
There is no place in or around Pittsburg
for the theoretical town-builder the chap
who starts a town on paperr works up a de
mand for lots, sells all he can, and then dis
appears. Quite a number of towns at short
distances from the city are in various stages
of development, but they are not of the the
oretical sort. They are backed by substan
tial industries, which will sooner or later
give employment fo large numbers of peo
ple. Some are apprehensive that these new
industrial centers are a menace to the pros
perity of the city. This is a mistake. They
are being built by Pittsburg capital, and
will be settled bv Pittsburg peopje. Pitts
burg will be their headquarters and their
market. Each of them will pay as hea y
tribute to Pittsburg as'if located within the
city limits. Tire necessity for cnl-irging the
manufacturing area of the city has loyg
been felt, and this movement is the result.
By making loom for new enterprises, the
entire community is the gainer.

KLECTRIC GIVES AN INTIMATION OF
KETURNING ACTIVITY.
No Business Worth Speaking of, but Some
Weak Points Strengthened A Few Ad
vances, Showing That the Bears Are
Gradually Losing Their Grip;
The bottom fell out of tho stock market
yesterday, so far as business was concerned,
tho only sale on call being that of a small
lot of Electric scrip at 70.
The full price changes that occured were
nearly all improvements. Central Traction
and Pleasant Valley closed good fractions
better than the opening. Tho natural gas
sere were steady. Switch and Signal made a
good gain and Airbrako advanced a point.
If, with tho market standing on its own
merits, being almost entirely without sup
porting orders, the bears nro unablo to pull
down prices they had bettor go out of busi
ness. The finances of tho country are on
too sound a basis to bo disturbed by profes
sional wreckers.
L'lcctilcwas stronger, being bid up to 13
without sales. Old stock was on a level
with now. This was not well relished by
those who had donated 40 per cent of their
holdings to tho cpmpany. But there is an
other sldo to the matter. Without the sur
render, it is claimed, there could have been
no reorganization. What tho value of the
old stock w'ould be had this beon tho case is,
of conrso, purely conjectural, but it is safo
to place it considerably under the present
figure, so tbe concession mav have a good
financial stroke after all. there Is moro
old stock bore than many suppose Consid
erable of it is held by banks ns collateral.
There was no meeting of the Electric nnd
Slanufacturing Compiny. A fow stock
holder wcro on band, but wero informed
that there was nothing for them to do. It
was stated that leorganization U so nearly
comploted that further meetings to help it
along will be.unneecssary.
An official of the company remarked:
"There is no use in adjourning from time to
time. Thowoik of reorganizing tho com
pany is going along smoothly, and as rapidly
as circumstances will peimit. Tho directors
can do and are doing all that is necessary to
complete the plan, nnd there Is nothing lor
the stockholders to do."
It is tho opinion at headquarters that tho
new ceitlflcatcs will be icady for use by tho
middle of September, and possibly before.

all portions of the list, with at times a buoy
ant tone to tho dealings. Tho market gives
evidence of broadening from day to day,
and its stubborn strength in the face of the
most strenuous efforts to check tho rise or to
bring about a reaction, show s the growing
confidence of outside investors nnd pecula
tors in tno luturo of prices.
The feature of the last two d-iys' dealings
has been the evident disposition to take
up tho most promising of the low priced
shares, and while a few of these have been
forced to higher figures than the tlmos wnr
rant, all ha e beon placed apparently upon
a permanently higher level. Tho money
situation seems to be secure, as far as can
be foreseen, and with tho surplus now in
the banks nnd the disbursements or the Gov
ernment, including the pa) ment for the i
per centbto be redeemed, there is little llkli
liood of a squeezo in money for some time to
come. ,
In to-day's market howover, the Grangers
were again in the first place, as far as activ
ity goes, and the realizations assumod large
proportions in them, induced by tho high
figures to which they had attained, while
the ettoits of the bears to force a reaction
of substantial propoitions aided in weaken
ing tho entile list during tho aftornodn. Tho
foreign pmchases were tho features of tho
forenoon's business, and while realizations
were even then heavy, tho Impression made
upon prices wns measured by small frac
tions only, and a full and fiee recovery
took place under tho urgent demand for
stocks.
London prices this morning were materi
ally bettei than onrs of last ovciiing, and
tho early demand made an actlvo and de
cidedly strong opening; and while the
pressure to sell wns sufficient to foroe a re
action to the level ot the opening figures,
prices could not be kept down, and later
marked advances were made. The final
dealings, however, again developed consid
erable strength in the list, and tho market
finally closed fairly active and firm at only
slight changes for the day in most cases.
The transactions leacbed 315,816.
Railroad bonds wcro also remarkably ac
tlvo and many ot the speculative Issues w cro
specially prominent, the Atchison incomes,
tiio Reading incomos, Wabash debentures
and Kansas and Texas seconds ieing most
conspicuous. Slany ot these scored hand
some gains, and tho market remained stiong
until tho close.

Country Produce (Jobbing Prices)
There were on the market to-day about a
dozen carloads of peaches, and stock was of
better quality and in better shape than the
average receipts of late. Demand proved
good for nil offered at prices quoted. Ap
ples, bananas and melons are slow stock
owing to the heavy receipts and low prices
of peaches. We reduce our quotations on
watermelons in accordance with stubborn
facts in the shape of actual sales. Choice
dairy products are firm at quotations. X ew
York cheese is lcpoited in light supply and
firmly held at tho factories. Ohio make is
c to lc low or than it was at this time a year
ago, and promises to advance. Supply of
good creamery butter is scarcely up to de
mind, and markets are firm and active at
quotations. Seeds aro firm at a shade higher
prices for timothy.

Flour, Feed and Grain.
There has not been a sale on call at the
Grain Exchange this week. It is not often
that buyers are so cautious as they are at this
time. The luturo of cereals is a very uncer
tain quantity, and there is little inclination
to buy ahead of immediate wants. Corn is
firm, oats are qnlet, and wheat is steady.
Choice hay is firmly held. Receipts as bul
letined at the Grain Exchange, 33 carloads,
as follows: By Pltfcburg, Ft. Wayne and
Chicago Railway, 2 cars of oats, 6 of hay, 1
of flour, 1 of ear corn, 1 of seed, 1 of feed.
By Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis, fl
cars of corn, 3 of oats, 1 of wbeat. By Balti
more and Ohio, 1 car of hay. By Pittsburg
and Lake Erie, 1 car of oats, 2 of wheat, 6 of
flour.
Following quotations are for carload lots on
track. Dealers charge an advance on these prices
from store.
