IOW GRADE CATTLE In Excessivp Supply, and Prices Suffer a Sharp Decline. PRIMES AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY. Liberty and Allegheny Markets Are Slow at the Seduction. GOOD EOGS AXD SHEEP AKE STEADY OrriCE or Pittsburg DisrATCH, ) Mokbat, Sept.2L ( There were upward of 1GO carloads of cat ile on sale at the East Liberty stockyards this morning, against 100 last Monday, and 127 loads the week before. The offerings to day were below late average in quality. There were no prime beeves on sale and very few good beeves. It seems that prime cattle have ceaed to be a quantity in the Liberty yards. The trade that demands primes must of necessity go elsewhere for beeves. In to-day's receipts were about 50 carloads from Chicago. The balance were from Ohio, Indiana, Ken tucky, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Buyers were present m more thanusual force, but wore slow to invest for the reason that the heavy run was greatly to their advantage. They made the most of this opportunity, and markets opened slow at a decline of Me to 50c per cwt trom prices of last week. So jar as could dc learned nothing on tne mar ket brought a nickel a pound. Two car loads of cood beeves, not prime from Piqna county, O., weighing 1,378 lbs on an average "were sold at this figure. The supplyof good .feeders was not up to demand. Fresh Cows In Short Supply. Good fresh cow6 w ere in short supply and demand was good for all offered. The sup ply of calves w as fair, and last week's range was maintained. The top price of vealers was $6 SO, and grassers $3 flO. Sheep Mar ket opened with 23 Uouhle-dcck loads on pale against the same number a week ago. Last weok's prices were maintained for good stock, but low irrades wereweakanda shade lower. The top of the market tor sheep 1 was yu ana loi laniDs jo ou. umy a tew ox those oircred brought these outside prices. Hogs The number on sale was about 25 carloads, and the proportion of good corn fed stock was somewhat larger than the late avnraec For the best, maikets were active at j5 G05 TO, while lower grades started out very Mow at a shade lower prices that pre vailed a n eek ago. The live stock trade fur nishes at present good illustrations of the advantage of bringing good stock to the market. From all trade centers comes the report that there are no prime cattle to be bad. Prime beeves would have found rcadv sale at East Liberty to-day at over 6c per lb, Irat alas! there were none to be had. At the Allegheny Yards. The supply of cattle at Heir's Island which was in the main trom Chicago was above late averaae in number but prices were not materially reduced by reason of the large run. Prime stock sold at about the same iinces as were obtained a week ago. Mar rets, however, were reported sluggish at quotation Best heavy Chicago beeves sold at f6 50g 75: medium weights, $5 256 25; jignr wcigiits, J4 oojvo ou; common grades, S3 iVgl 25. Hulls, dry cows and heifers were in light supply and nominally worth $2 503 50. There was a scarcitv of good fresh cows but enough to meet demands and the range of maikets was $25 00 to $45 00 per head Calves were in supply to the number of IS licad, and good tocnoice vealers were steady lit a range ot .IJt'c to 6ic per lb.

Another Journalistic Estimate of the "World's Supply Hooms the Market Corn Strong in the Horning, but Becomes Weak Oats Quiet Provisions Strong. CHICAGO Wheat surprised the trade this morning "by opening l)2o bighcr than It closed Saturday, showing much strength for a time, abd qnickly selling at 2fc ad vance. The strength was duo to Liverpool cables, 'which quoted that market Id higher on spot and .2d higher on futures; consols vere quoted about 2-16c lower, and this, taken in connection with the reported desti tution in parts of Germany and an estimate by the American Agrlcuttwist that the world's supply of wheat and rye whould not be less than 200,000.000 bushels short, and might reach 100,000 000, even granting an export surplus of 225,000,000 bushels for the United States and Canada, made traders nervous and bulllshly Inclined. December started at $1 00J1 00, against 9$i3c at the close on Saturday, and quickly touched $1 01. Then there was a drop to $1 00, but another buying spurt carried it to $1 00. There was a slight re cession toward noon, but firmness was the Erevaillng feeling during the last hour, with uctuations between $1 O0f and $1 0 with the close at f 1 00. porn was lairly active and strong early. In sympathy with the strength in wheat, but thoro was vigorous selling on the advance, resulting in a sharp decline. Good weather and the belief that the crop is now virtually out of peril was a weak factor. October sold early from 50c to olVic, against 50c at the close on Saturday. Then it began to break and sold to 50c, up to SOJJc, then off to 19c, reacted toMJc, and In the afternoon rallied to51c; broke to 50c, but rallied and closed tit Mjjc uais were quiet ana steaay to weak, clos ing within Ha of the bottom, with fluctuations confined to a rango of JiJc. Provisions were inclined to be strong early on the recession of 2-16 In the price of British consols, as indicating some nervousness over the European situation and the ad vance in the price of cereals. Later the market fluctuated frequently in sympathy with corn. The fluctuations were narrow, however, those in pork being confined to a range of 7H10c, with the close at the top and at an advance of 1220c over Saturday's close. Lard closed at froin2c lower to 5o higher. Eibs are 25o up. The leading futures ranged as follows, as cdrrcct ed by John M.

OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP That fittsbarg is prosperous cannot be doubted. Proof abounds in every direc tion. This' refrain has been heard so often that it may be monotonous to some people, but being a fact it cannot be given too much prominence as a 'means of encourag ing the few doubting Thomasesswho refuse to be converted. The local situation, being all right, it may be well enough totake a glance at the general conditions of trade and seo if they are favorable or otherwise. t The Hnanet al Chronicle, a recognized au thority, bears this testimony: "When the harvest has been fully finished and tho movement to market In all its volume has extended throughout the whole of that vast and wonderful section that we call the West, when our carrying Industry, which Is just now beginning to partake of the accruing benefits, shall be enjoying the full prosper ity that cannot fail to fall to its share in marketing the crops, -when, also, the numer ous allied industries which these two great Interests, in their prosperity, never come short of putting in active motion, shall fall under the same Influence when these forces get fully.ln action. It seems almost impossi ble to exaggerate the effect upon the activities of the country. Busi ness is now showing marked signs of renewed life. Had tho months of depres sion we have been passing through been months of liquidation we-should not antici pate that this revival would indicate its presence.verv clearly iu the money market this year, since time is. required after a period 01 commercial andfinancial derange ment for new engagements to reach a stage observat le in banking operations. But we do not find there has been any very mate rial liquidation, at least, none shows itself in bank returns." The same paper says that neatly everyone In Europe takes a most optimistic view of the situation, and the opinion is general that the public are prepared to operate on a scale to which we have been unaccustomed since the end of 1SS6. Owing to the end of the civil war Chilean bonds and nitrate securities have also risen sharply, and there has been a further, though not a very considerable, recovery in most other South American securities. There has also been some ap pearance of a revival of speculation in the South African gold market. A prominent Wall street operator -writes: "The bullish tendencies of the stock market have been augmented and confirmed by the practical safety of the corn crop, the decline of exchanges and the continuance of gold shipments from Europe. The latter circum stance creates greater confidence in the money market, which, while firm, shows few signs 01 approaenmg stringency, aitunugn funds are moving west and' speculative ac tivity creates additional demands." The market for railway bonds displays an unabated interest on the part of both in vestors and speculators. The former are taking hold with more freedom, and the lat ter purchase the low-priced issues with the same readiness that they give out orders for stocks. Each day affords confirmation of the remarkable change that has come over the bond market. Issues which were wholly neglected and unsaleable a couple of months ago now jump a point or more at a time when an prder for only a moderate amount is executed. Business Mews and Gossip.

Nothing was done nt the second call. At the third 40 snares of Luster changed hands at 12? and at 12. Bidding was slow and offers were slower. There were some good features and no bad ones. All of the Westinghouse interests were strong. Electric finished at a good fractioni better than the opening on news of an oKpqeted bnll movement In Boston. Pittsbnrg Traction advanced to 40 at the first call, against 38 on Saturday, but fell back a point and closed steady. The busi ness of the road is said to be Improving, and earnings aro consequontly-making a good showing. Central and Pleasant Valley were steady. Duquesno Traction bonds were offered at 83, the first public quotation since they were offered at 85 about ten days ago. The sale f Chambers-McKee Glass Com pany stock, 500 shares, was indefinitely post poned. This, in connection with what is known about the meeting to-day, is accepted as a sign that an amicable settlement will bo reached.

Bulls Satisfied With the Advance Already Hade and Bake In their Profits A Steady Upward Movement A Good Busi ness Also in Bonds. New Tobk, Sept. 21. The stock market opened the new week this morning with an other burst of activity, which bid fair to eclipse the record of last Friday, but the trading in the afternoon fell away materi ally, an3 while the sales of the day were extraordinarily heavy, they were within the sum of the other day. The feature of the dealings to-day, how ever, was the unusually large number of stocks dealt in, together with the unusually even distribution of tho business. The up ward movement, also, made a steady pro gress, notwithstanding the continued efforts of operators who have been left out in the cold on the nresent rise to force a reaction by which they may either recuperate on snore contracts at something iiKe a nominal loss, or to enable them to get in on the next advance at figures likely to net them a pro fit within a reasonable time. There was continued heavy realizations of profits accrued by the bulls, who are satis fled with the advance as it is, and also by the foreigners, who wore uneasy bj- tho con tinued withdrawal of gold" for export to this port from the Bank of England with a con stant tendency of money at that center to become dearer. The demand, however, which was almost entirely from outsiders, completely swamped the lorces working for a reaction. For once the public is in Wall street with power to do as It pleases. The opening was at figures fractionally higher than those of Saturday, and further Improvement was made right from the start, and as the Chicago people wore hoavy sellers on the rise the Western stocks were almost all slugcish, while most of the specialties were still very strong. Among the stocks the Ylllards led the advance with some of their old vim. The Vandorbilts wore also conspicuous for their strength, and Lake Shore was one of the few stocks which succeeded in scoring a material final gain. Atchisbn, Reading, St. Paul and other late unusually prominent stocks for nctivlty, were still leaders in-the dealings, but the totals of their transactions did not foot up so high figures as of late, while the business done was more than usual among tho low priced shares. The upward movement, with frequent halts and much excitement, made steady progress until the last hour, when tho real izations became more numerous and became sufficient to overbalance the demand, heavy as it still remained. Prices, therefoie, re ceded fractionally, but several stocks, in cluding Burlington and Rock Island, were thereby brought below the level of their opening figures. The market finally closed active activeljand steady after tne decline had halted. The list Is almost invariably fractionally higher, but North American is up 1; Southern Pacific preferred and Ten nessee Coal, each IK: Sugar, 1, and Lake Shore, Lead Trust, Union Pacifio and Wheel ing and Lake Erie preferred each 1 per cent.

Creamery Butter Is Weak and Lower The Tendency of Cereals Is Still Toward a Lower Level No New Features In Gro cery Lines. Office of Pittsuceq DisrATCH, l Hobday, Sept. 2L ( Country Produce Johbing prices Markets were overstocked with grapes and peaches this morning and prices" showed a downward tendency. There were not less than ten carloads of peaches on sale and half as many cars of grapes. It was rather a blue Monday for commission men, as they had more stuff on hand than they were able to find customers for. Vegetables of all kinds are reported slow; Sweet potatoes are heavy stock at quotations. The warm weather of the past few days has had the eflect of throwing too many overripe bananas on the market and prices have weakened. Under the influence of high-priced cream erd butter, oleo is now coming freely to the front. With the pressure of large quanti ties of oleo, butter has dropped from Its highest point and stock begins to hang heavy in the hands of Jobbers. Eggs are firm at quotations.
