Vlbesday, Sept. 30. 5
There have been all told about S." car
loads of cattle on the market nt East Lib
erty yards this week, apjinst 170 'loads last
woek, and 115 the previous week. Desir
able grades were in ery short supply, aud
jnoed actively at a shade better prices than
were obtained a neck ago. The average
quality of this week'- offerings was below
average and nothing on sale brought above
?j 00 per ct. Prime beeves were worth
55 'Si in Chicago, and the fact that nothing
offered in Hist Libertv sold aboie $5 00 per
cut proves that there were no primes on
talc.
From all live stock centers the report
conies that prime beeves are very scarce.
The Pittsburg butchers whose trade calls
Jbr primes, are forced to go to Chicago for
their stock. Uood feeders and choice fresh
cows are in limited supply and demand has
been good for all oilered. The top price of
calves this week was Keeper lb., and only a
few choice brought tli.s price. Hogs The
run for the week has been aboi c ."0 car loads
and prices are lower than last week. The
ton of the market for l'hiladclphias to-day
ivas ?5 33, and en few reached this price.
Top price at Chicago this morning was
SI SO. Sheep Receipts in this line for the
w cek ha e been about 35 car loads. The
proportion of good stock vas small. Top
price of Ueep wa S3 Oil, and lambs S3 30.
JVir good stock markets were strong and
active, but all common and low grade stuff
was slow and dull at whateier prices buyers
were willing to pay.
A Libcrtj totk Finn's Review.
1 lie follow ins is tlie repoit of the situa
tion ly Holmes, Kow len, Briggs & Co.: We
report K cars or cattle on sale Monday,
which wusles than half the number on sale
the precedinc Mondaj. This was offset by
the tlciimnd being reduced fully one-half
from la-t w cek, through complaints of dry
w eather and shortage of water and grass by
graziers and leedcrs, wnilo the butchers
trom the citj and country all complain most
bitterlj of the extreme low prices that Chi
cao di-cv-ed moat is being sold nt, and that
tnc-y cannot posiul buj anj cattle, even at
the present low prices, to compete with the
lirrseiu (i'i'tca meat prices. 110 result
was the limited number ol cuttle could not
nil be sold, and the close was at the lowest
Tirices of the -ea-on, with several loads to

MARKETS OX THE EBBTIDE.
TTlieat the First to Subside, all Hnrkets Be
ing Unllish in the Morning The Third
Hold-Your-Wheat Circular Temporarily
Assists the strength.
CHICACO Themarkctsall started strong
and higher this morning, but with equal
unanimity, they ended with a reaction
which left them lower than the closing
figures of yestcrdaj. In wheat a good deal
of the bull feeling of yesterday was carried
over, but perhaps the most potent factor In
the higher opening was the issuance of the
third Farmers' Alliance "Hold-your-wheaf
circular. While the trade generally did not
look for any decided result from it, it made
the shorts nervous and they were ready to
cover at the tap of the trading bell.
Li erpool was firm, but London was 4i$9
pence lower. Keceipt3 hero were about as
expected, but those at Minneapolis and
Duluth showed a falling off compared w ith
the recent heavy inflow, though still liberal.
Another bullish item was a telegram from
Duluth telling ofveryheavj exports with
more in hand to go forward.
December opened nt 93J9SJc, against
97Jc at the close yesterday. The demand
was sharp for a time, with little on tho mar
ket, and it held lor some time at those lig
mes. Then the short scare began to sub
side, weakness setmand there was a gradual
drop to 97J4C. Tue selling was pretty free
alter the first half hour. BradstrceCa re
ported the increase in the available supply
or wheat east of the Rockies at 2,240.000 bush
els and 6S3 000 bushels on the Pacific coast,
making a total increase of 2,925,000 bushels.
The weakness continued during the last
hour, and December sold off to 97Jsc, reacted
some on realizing purchases by shorts, but
w cateneu again ana cioseu easy at viae, tnc
bottom flcure of the dav.
Corn ohs active and very strong most of
the session, but eased off some later. The
strength was due to the small receipts, only
125 cars This, with liberal out-inspection,
alarmed shorts and started them to cover
ing, and offerings being light, higher prices
ruled October, which closed yesterday at
527ic. opened at 53c, sold up to 31'c and re
ceded to 33c. Then, when it became known
that the estimate fpr to-morrow- was for
onlj 130 cars, the 10 was some recovery, and
at 12 o'clock the price was53ic. During the
last hour a good deal of corn was put upon
the market, and it sold off sharply. The
offerings were by the early pui chasers w ho
sought to realize their profits, but there
wero few buyers, and October quicklj
slumped to 31Vc, at w Inch it closed.
Oats followed corn and closed lower.
Provisions opened higher In svmpathv
with grains, but then quickly weakened,
and continued to recede most of the day.
It was expected that the deliveries of Octo
ber to-morrow would be heavy, and most of
the trading was in shifting October deals to
tho more deferred futures Pork lost 27j
30c: lard, 7K12KCt and ribs, 12Kg20c.

THE COKE MARKET.
The Expected Improvement In the Trade
rails to materialize.
Scottdale, Sept. 30. Special. While tho
coke shipments increased 290 cars last week,
the expected improvement in trade has not
been realized. No effort has been made by
operators to incrcaso production, and the
irood showing of last week is not lasting.
The plants in operation will work four and
five days this week. Though tho coko trade
is conceded to bo very dull, the work of
erecting new o ens is going right along, and
if all signs don't- fail the coke trade will as
sume its a el-ace before long.
The total shipments were 6,801 ears, dis
tributed as follow s: To points west of l'itts
burg, 3,711: to points east of Pittsburg. 1,190;
to Pittsburg. 1.900; total, 6,89k As will be
seen, the Pittsburg consignment decreased
69 cars, and the eastern shipments inci eased
342. In tons the total output was 124,633.
Prices remain unchanged. Furnace coke is
quoted at $1 90, foundry, $2 30; crushed, $2 65,

A LONE TRAIN ROBBER
nOLDS UP AN EXPKESS MESSENGEIt
ON A NEW YORK KAILROAD.
The Victim Covered With a Revolver and
Ills Car Rifled About $10,000 Secured
by the Thief The Job Done In True
Western Style.
Utica, Sept. 30. Special American Ex
press train Xo. 31, on the Central Hudson
road, due here at 3:10 this morning, was
robbed between here and Little Falls. The
robbery, which was attendad by nearly all
the thrilling features that accompany such
events in the "Wild "West, took place about
1 o'clock this morning.
At the hour named B. A. Moore, of
Buffalo, a trusted messenger of the express
company, who had been in its employ IB
years, suddenly realized the fact that a
stranger stood over him with two revolvers
pointed at his head, and demanded the sur
render of his revolver and the key of the
safe
Moore was taken whollv by surprise, and,
as the robber bad taken his revolver, he had
to give r.p the key of the safe. The robber
then opened the safe, took out the money
packages and jumped oil the fain, having
first given a signal to the engineer to slow
down. When he was ready to jump he gave
another signal for the train to go ahead and
then jumped and started in a northerly di
rection. The robber was masked and the
messenger was unable to give any accurate
description of him.
As soon as possible Moore made known
to the other men on the train what had
taken place, and they made a search to see
how the robber got in the car. There was
no mystery about it, for a hole large enough
to admit a man's body was iound cut
through the forward end of the car.
The car th.it was robbed was the last one
of the six in the train, and it is believed by
the express people that the robber had some
experience as a railroad employe, from the
fact that he was abletogive the right sig
nals on the air whistle for slowing and
starting the train.
The exact amount of money taken by the
robber is not known, but from the nature
of the packages the express company says it
is less than 510,000. Messenger Moore says
that when the robber secured his revolver
he fired three times, none of the bullets hit
ting Moore, however. The robber ran
sacked the safe, taking those packages he
thought contained valuables. The mes
tepger managed to thrust a ?3,000 money
package behind the safe, w hich the robber
did not find.
Assaulted "With a Hatchet,
Howard Brown is under bonds to answer
a charge of felonious assault and battery
before Alderman McMaslcrs. The infor
mation was made by Charles Hinds, of 38
Anderson street Allegheny. Brown is a
real estate agent, and he and Hinds had a
dispute about some property in which thev
are both interested, when Brown, it is said,
struck Hinds with a hatchet.

A HUT TO VISITORS.
To Get an Idea of What Fittsbunj
Eeally Is They Should Visit
THE MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS
And Take in the Famous Sulnrts With
Their Magnificent Scenery.
FEATURES OF MONEY AND SPECDLATION
There is no city in the country that offers
stronger inducements to investors than
Pittsburg. There will never be a better
time to say this than now, when the city is
full of visitors.
The business of Pittsburg is an open book.
Prosperity is written on every page, to be
read of all men. It is a cloud by day and a
pillar of fire by night to direct the investor
and keep him from going astray. He can
not make a mistake.
Go anywhere, look in any direction, and
multiplied evidences of thrift are encoun
tered. Pittsburg is the busiesl place in
America, and one of the solidcst. Legiti
mate enterprise is fostered ami flourishes,
but wildcat schemes are discountenanced
and soon come to grief. Conservative, yet
broad and progressive, Pittsburg bankers,
manufacturers and merchants are safe coun
selors and guides. Under their magnificent
leadership, aided by the active, intelligent
populace, the city has within a few years
made extraordinary progress in wealth and
population.
To enable them to acquire a just concep
tion of the magnitude of the Pittsburg
industries, visitors should make. a tour of
the manufacturing districts. They will
theie see the greatest iron and steel plants
in the world, miles on miles of them, turn
ing out products for nearly every market
under the sun; glass factories which, in the
fineness of their wares, rival the best estab
lishments in Europe, bridge works, locomo
tive works, in short, nearly everything that
capital and skill can produce from the raw
material. The capital invested in about
4.000 industrial concerns in Pittsburg and
immediate vicinity is estimated J,at upward
of?134,000,000.
Having acquired an intelligent compre
hension of the industrial features of the
city, visitors should by all means "take
in" the suburbs. This should 1 e done as a
matter of justice to the city. The inipres
bion formed from a survey of the business
quarter is that of push and enterprise, Of
hurry to meet the demands of trade, and of
relentless pursuit of wealth. This is in
striking contrast with the quiet but maies
tic beauty of the outskirts. Abounding in
fine homes, handsome grounds and broad
avenues, they have been admired by trav
elers from every land. No city in America
is more highly favored in its environments
than Pittsburg. The irapid transit system
of the city is so extensive and complete that
any part of the suburbs can be quickly and
conveniently reached, and no visitor should
fail to see tfiem. "What he wi'l witness will
l)2'"a thing of beauty and a joy forever" to
him.
As nearly everybody knows, Pittsburg
has made marvelous strides in material de
velopment within the past five years, but
her possibilities are even greater than her
achievements, and what she has accom
plished in the line of expansion is but a
foretaste of what may be expected during
the present decade.
Facts About Office Buildings.
There is an impression in certain quarters
that there are too many office buildings in
Pittsburg, but facts show the contrary, or
at least that they are not in advance of the
demand. Block & Baird, who have charge
of the Penn, Eisner, Schmertz, Excelsior,
the Irish block and the Kllhn law build
ings, report every room taken and occupied.
They have charge also of the new Ferguson
block, on Third avenue, and have had in
quiries for rooms from some of the best
firms in the city. This should be encourag
ing to the half a dozen or more individuals
and firms' who have the erection of office
buildings under consideration.
It is hard to overstock Pitt6burg with
anything that is strictly legitimate. For
several years she has absorbed business
houses as fast as they could be put up with
out satiating her appetite.

HOME SECURITIES.
IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS AND
VALUES DURING THE MONTH.
More Bayers Than Sellers Shows tho Bull
ish Temper of tho Traders Tractions
Still rorcmost In Interest Philadelphia
Gas Steady Against Bearish Talk.
Business on call yesterday was light, for
the reason that there was very littlo of any
thing' for sale. Bidders were unfortunate,
but sellers met their advances with a stony
stare. This shows most clearly that the
maiket is strong.
Tlieie was a good inquiry forthe tractions,
with perhaps one exception, showing that
there are those who havo a good opinion of
them and strong faith in their outcome. All
of the lines are working faiily well, and
earnings are lepiesented on tho increase.
There are lew, if any, who tako stock in the
report that two or throe of them ai e making
no money. Thero was nothing new brought
out in regard to consolidations or combines.
Philadelphia Gas held its own in the faco
of considerable bearish talk. Tho litigation
upon which it has entered promises to be
expensive, no matter what the result may
be, and this may put a check upon the ex
tinguishment of the lemaining indebtedness
and make the resumption of dividends
either impossible or so lar in the future as
to cease to do a lactor in tne inarKet.
The close of the month left every thing on
the list in good shape. Tucre was a ma
terial improvement in values and business
over any previous month of the year. A
number of obstacles to an upward move
ment were cleared away, leaving a good out
look for the lemaining three months of the
year. Sales:

ONLY A TEMPORARY CHECK.
THE
PASSING OF THE MLSSODEI
PACIFIC DIVIDEND
Depresses That Stock Alone, the Kent of the
List Hesitating a Moment in Its Advance
Only Union Pacific Sympathizes "With
the Leading Feature.
New York, Sept. 30. Tho influence of the
passing of tho Missouri Pacific dividend
on tho stock list ivasnotcommensurate with
it effects upon the stock of the Missouii
Pacific, and the list refused to follow it on
its downward course, though the piomising
strength which had been shown in the early
portion of the day w.s checked. First prices
were almost all from i to per cent hotter
than those of last evening, although Missouri
Pacific was down J. It took the lead in tho
early advance, hon ever, rising 14 per cent
on a desire among the shorts to cover at the
concessions.
Erie, Atchison and Northern Pacific, pre
ferred, j'ieldcd large fractions, but Hocking
Valley nnd a few other specialties like New
York, Sun,iiehennn and Western made ma
terial gains. The general list later recovered
the tone and the upward movement made
some pi ogress, whnn just after noon the an
nouncement was made that the dividend
had formally been parsed. The maiket hes
itated and soon Missouri Pacific began to
drop, and its decline did not cease until well
into the late hour when it had touched 55.
This drop, however, proved the fact that tue
general market will break anay fiom all
disquieting influences, as the list refused to
lollow Missouri Pacific down, though Union
Pacific, as as natural, showed considerable
weakness under pressure at the time.
The selling of Missouri Pacific, however,
had littlo 01 the uppcaranceot liquidation,
and late in tho day there was a material
rullv. although it finally closed at close to
its lowest figures, llesides these mentioned
the Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Lonis stocks were again very strong, tho
common using over 1 per cent. Outside of
the activity in St. Paul, Union Pacific, Atch
ison, Erie and tho Grangers' there was little

HOME MONEY.
A Good Movement and Unwavering Confi
dence In the Fntnre.
Business was quiet and comfortable at the
city banks yesteiday, and overythlng was in
a satisfactory shape. Conditions affecting
the money market were reported favorablo
to the expansion of enterprise, and strong
expectations were entertained of the per
manency and steady growth of the upward
movement lately set in.
There was a good demand for discounts,
and checking and depositing were of liberal
proportions. Funds wero abundant for the
regular trade, and rates were steady at 67
per cent. Tneie is no lack of 6 percent
money for gilt-edged names or collateral.
unrrency was easy on iresn receipts.
The Clearing House statement lor the day
and month bears out the claim that business
is on the mend. Exchanges were nearly
$3,000,000 better than the previous month,
and about tho same amount ahead of Sep
tember, 1SS9. Improvement during the ne-tt
three months will go far to bridge the differ
ence in favor of 1890.

Country Produce (Jobbing Prices)
Grapes are not coming in so freely as they
have been of late and prices are a shade
higher. Choice peaches are in good demand
at advanced prices. The advent of cool
weather has stimulated demand for tropical
fruits, and markets in this line are firm at
quotations. Dairy products are unchanged.
Xew York cheese is firm at prices quptcd,
and in the faith of higher prices dealers are
contracting for the futnre at present prices.
Ohio cheese is not so firm, and there are re
ports of shading on present quotations.
Strictly fresh eggs are scarce and firm at
outside quotations. Top price in New York
is 23c per dozen, and in Chicago 19c per
dozen. Vegetables are weak and slow all
along the line. Sweet potatoes are particu
larly dull, and pi ices are once more reduced
in accordance with facts.
