i ' THE PTCTSBTTCG DISPATCH, " THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8,- 1891; 11 AN EXCESS OF BEEVES. Supply of Coarse Half Fatted Cat tle Far Above Demand. MAXY FORWARDED EASTWARD. Good Smooth Tntcher Stock Scarce and Higher in Price. SHEEP AXD SWINE FAIRI.T STEADY Orricr or PrrrsiirKG DtsrATcn, Wednesday. Oct. 7, 1S91. At the East Liberty yards (here have been close to 100 carloads of cattle on sale this week, and markets were very unsatis factory to shippers and commission men probably as much so as any time for a year past. As an evidence of the depressed con dition of markets not less than '20 carloads were chipped on to New York in first hands on Monday. Advices from New York show that the cattle forwarded fared no better than they wonld have done had they been sold at East Liberty. Heavv, course, half fatted beeves could only be hold here this week at a sacrifice. Light smooth butcher beeves weighing 1,100 to 1,300 lbs, were not in supply equal to demand and were sold a i-hadc better price than was realized last week. The top price this week was ?5 00 per cwt, arid very few of those on sale reached this price. CJood fresh cons found ready sale with 543 00 per head as top price. "The supply of hogs lor the week was above late (average tin both number and quality. The good corn crop begins to tell in the larger number of corn fed hocrs com ing to our markets, Price of best Philadel phia's range from Jvi 40 to So 50. Sheep The number on sale for the week was about SO carloads, acainst 3Z loads last week. Good sheep were strong and active at last week's prices, and common crades dull and slow. Top of market was 5c for sheep and 5c for lambs. A Liberty Stock Firm's Bevlew. Following is a review of week's trade and prices by Holmes. Rcwen, Briggs & Co. "We report 05 loads of cattle for sale on Monday. The attendance of buyers was more liberal than for two weeks past, yet the trading was very slow at about lust week's prices, except on smooth fat butch ering grades and good class of feeders, which wen in most demand and fewest in number. This crade sold 10c to 15-per hundred higher thnn lor the past two weeks. There was a liberal supply of medium weights weighing 1,250 to 1,300 lbs., which were not in de mand from countrv butchers, unless at rates to compete with Chicago dressed beef. This decline owners were not prepared to meet, and about ten loads were lorwarded out to Xew York. There were no prime heavy beeves offered, and no particular demand for such: except tuoorthrccloads ordered bv an exporter. We quote good, 1,300 to 1,400, at 4,4.-e; good, 1,100 to 1.200 at 44c; good, 1,000, at 53 40(5.3 t5; good feede-s, 1,000 to 1,100, 3U(54o stockers.

LUCKY DEALS IN REAL ESTATE. Some Strong Features in Local Stocks, "While Petroleum Moves Up a Teg. OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP It was learned yesterday from Mr. "Wal lace, of McKeesport, one of the principal men in the enterprise, that the new piano and organ factory nt Mendelssohn, a short distance above McKcesport, will begin operations a week from next Monday. It is completely equipped for turning out first-class work, and will afford employment for about 500 hands. The Heinle hoop mill, at the same place, will be ready for business at the same time. In regard to land values at Mendelssohn and vicinity, Mr. Wallace said: "Buyers have poor picking there now. There is nothing for sale at less than $3,000 to $5,000 an acre. Land that was held at $500 an acre before the town was laid out is now scarce at $3,000." A Short Road to Wealth. The question is often asked by persons who have paid little or no attention to the subject: Is real estate profitable as an in vestment? Here is an instance proving the affirmative of the question. Names and dates can be given if required: A piece of unimproved property nt Ingram, consisting of a number of acres, was sold less than a year ago for $2,500. The purchaser shortly afterward traded it for improved property worth $7,300. This owner subsequently disposed of it for 524,500. As an explanation of this tremendous jump in so short a time, which is without a parallel in this vicinitv, it should be stated that it was due to the promise and expecta tion of the speedy introduction of rapid transit facilities, giving easy access to and from the city, and rendering the property valuable for subdivision. Prosperity of the Railroads. The bright expectations based on the phe nomenally large crops are being realized, and the era of prosperity for the railroads of the country so confidently predicted has set in. Great and steadily increasing gains are noted in the earnings ot the roads, and the outlook in for a still more gratifying showing. The mot pleasing aspect of this phase of the business revival is that the activity in railroad circles is not confined to one section of the country. North, South, East and West all roads are doing a most lucrative business. The prosperity of the railroads will soon react upon other lines of trade. It means grist for the Pittsburg iron manufacturers. IVenk Concerns 'Weeded Out. The increase in the number of failures this year over 1890, amounting to 17 per cent, is not due to unfavorable commercial or industrial conditions. The causes, in brief, are in part the normal growth of the commercial death rate due to a larger busi ness population, but for the greater part to the prolonged period of restricted trading, enforced economy and resulting weeding out, following the congested money market of November and December, 1890. " The weeding out process has apparently culminated, and it is fair to expect that the lost quarter of the year will show a better record in this respect than either of the proceeding three quarters.

Nearly All the Material Changes In tho Nat ure of Improvement Philadelphia Gas Lets Go on Heavy Selling Consolida tion Talk Braces Up Duqnesno Traction. Trading on call yesterday was of a whole sale character, which was a refreshing change from the small lot business. In vestors seem to think that the market is in a position to justifytheinin assuming larger responsibilities. The sale of a block of upward of 200 shares of Monongahela Water Company stock, the first on the open board for a long time started the Innovation. This was follow ed by two 100 share lots of Philadelphia Gas, and afterward by a C00 sharo lot ol tho same stock. The other active interests were Birmingham Traction and Electric. The strongest features were Switch and Signal, Luster and Pittsburg Traction, Electric, Philadelphia Gas and Central Trac tion closed off a fraction each. Duquesno Traction was bid np to 11 at the early call, with none offered. A broker said that noth ing less than 12 would buy it, It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. Talk of consolidation, however visionary, is a good advertising for tho Duquesne, and traders are working off a good deal or the stocic on the piomlnence which It has nehteved by this means. The weakness of Philadelphia Gas was natural under the heavy selling pressure. There was nothing in the affairs of the com pany to weaken confidence. It Is supposed the realizing was by a gentleman who bought 500 or COO shares about a month ago around 10107. An insider in Luster said a favorable tip from tho mine had been received. He would say nothing more. Earnings or $12,000 will pay 6 per cent on the capital stock. It looks like good property. Sales: First call 211 shares Monongahela Water Company at 27.
