WuaisDAT, Oct. H
Total receipts of cattl.c this week at East
Xibcrty yards for local trade were 120 car
loaiU, against 120 loads last week. 'With
the increased lull, markets opened on Mon
day at about last week's prices, and all de
sirable grades found ready buyers. Thcro
hare been no prime heavy beeves on sale ai
Hast Liberty in carload lots formonths past,
and there appears to be no demand for this
grade. The few butchers who must have
this grade cannot obtain their supplies this
side of Chicago. The kind most
wanted for our local trade are
light, smooth beeves, weighing from
1100 to 1300 lbs. Of this kind there is never
un over supply. Supplv of good feeders
and stockers tall below demand for weeks
past. Of the common and low grades, there
are always more than enough at the East

Chicago cattle and the others from Ohio,
Indiana and West Virginir, The quality
better than has been for som months past,
but no prime heavy beeves were offered.
Good medium grades were more pi t.ty, and
on account of Eastern markets being re-
Sorted better, such grades were in a better

DECLINES IN CEREALS.
Tlio Early Strength In Wheat Doesn't Last
Long A Heavy Lou In October Corn,
and Slight Concessions In tbo Other
rctnres Oats Quiet
CHICAGO The wheat market opened
strong and higher this morning, but soon
weakened and scored a decided decline.
There was a halt In the downward progress
for a time, but the weakness was renewed,
and the closing prices were the lowe-t of
the day and about 3o under yesterday's
last figures.
Tho market opened higher on the renewed
reports of serious damage to the unthroslied
grain in the fields ot North Dakota and on
indefinite reports about the prohibition of
wheat exports by Russia, but tho latter
proved to have no better foundation than
previous reports of a similar tenor, and the
Weather Bureau reporting the weather clear
ing in the Northwest. The crowds improved
the opportunity offered by the advance to
load up te people who had buying orders at
the start
December opened at $1 00 acatnst 99Jfc at
tho close yesterday. It declined without
any 1 caction to speak of in tue course of the
first two hours to 99Ja There was a halt on
the down turn due to buying against the
puts, but that was overcome by the superior
weigh of the offerings, and from 99Jc to
:-jc me uecunj was rapiu. for a time
there was liberal buying by New Yoik on
Northwestern account; the local shorts cov
ered freely, and the locnl bulls were good
buyer-; but it soon became evident that
there was plenty of wheat for sale and the
buyers became less greedy.
Then New York nnd the Northwest began
to weaken, and word came that importers
there wero reselling. A rumor that Jfrad
street's reportedan enormous Increase in the
available supply helped the down turn very
materially. Firm closing cables caused a
rally to 99c, but weakness I ol lowed and
there was another recession, this time to
9Sc, at which the market closed.
Corn declined the most of the day and
shows a loss at the close of2c In October, J4O
in November nnd Ho In May. Thore was no
news to weaken the market, except that the
weather wasfavorable for thematuringof the
crop The short Interest In October seems to
have been pretty well covered.and the lack of
support from this contingent seems to have
been the main factor in the exceptional
weakness in that future. Otherwise It should
have been strong, as the receipts continue
extremely lteht. For the rest the weakness
was probably in sympathy with wheat. Oc
tober opened at 57c, broke to B5)c. rallied
slightly, weakened, sold on" to 54c nnd
closed at 5ic, against 5G3Jc at the close yes
terday. Oats were quiet and steady to firm.
Thereeelptsof bogs were lieavy.-with prices
lower, and the liquidation in hog products
continued. Tho resnlt was that provisions
wero weak in the early dealings, Dnt there
was a rallv later and the close showed no
significant changes, except in ribs, which
are 520c Iowe.r.

Tho New Departure.
Until within a few years Pittsburgers al
leged as a reason for the neglect of their
surroundings that they were too deeply im
mersed in business to look after anything
else. This reasoning was considered good
enough at the time, but facts show that it
was untenable. Pittsburg has never been
so burdened with busines as during the
lastatwo or three years, and yet, at the same
time,it has been found entirely practicable to
adorn the city with magnificent business
houses and the suburbs with beautiful
homes. There is no city In the country
that has improved more rapidly in
this respect than Pittsburg. What the cul
mination of this movement will be is be
yond human power to foresee.
That it will be worthy of the ancient
fame of the city and in keeping with the
(esthetic spirit of the age can be predicted
with the utmost precision. Capitalists have
contracted a love for lands and houses, and
are putting their money into them in un
stinted measure. This is seen in the growth
of the principal streets, but more especially
in the costly and elaborate improvements in
the exclusively residence quarters, which
are confessedly unequaled in America. AH
classes of people are benefited. A fine
house is an object lesson. It spurs the man
of moderate means to greater effort to im
prove bis condition, and stimulates all to
acquire homes of their own.
Not Enough Cars.
Some Idea of the volume of railroad traf
fic may be had from the fact that an average
increase of about 7,000 freight cars a year in
the last three years on the Pennsylvania
system is now inadequate for the prompt
handling of current business. .

THE TBEHD 01? MONEY.
All
Coalers and Reading Buoyant for a Time,
But Soon Join the Downward ', Proces
sion No Exceptions to the Rale of
Declines Bonds Active.
New York, -Oct. 14. The stock market was
again completely under tho control of the
bearish trading element to-day, and with
the exception of a few outside buying or
ders and some trading by London on both
sides of tbo account there was nothing but
professional transactions throughout the
entire day, and while there were a few
spurts of activity in a few shares, like
Lackawanna, Louisville, Union Pacific and
Atchison, the dealings were on a small
scale, the general market being narrower
than for some time past. The short interest
n the market was, if anything, further in
creased by the day's operations and is
growing Into very large proportions.
The ODening or the market was steadv nnd
quiet, but while tho Coalers resumed their
upward movement of yesterday, nnd Lack
awanna rose 1 per cent, and Reading , the
rest of the list drooped from the outset, and
the first drive was made at Louisville, which
was depressed i per cent.. Northern Pa
cific preferred following. Later in the day
the Coalers received attention and lost not
only their early advance but fractions in ad
dition, and later Union Pacific was knocked
down to 39K.
Considerable pressure was d Irected against
Atchison, but little Impression was made
upon It, and Missouri Pacific also resisted
nil effort to got it down. Tho general list
was dull and as a rule featureless, but sym
pathized with the leaders and prices slowly
bnt steadily melted away throughout the
day. One of the most important declines
was In Lake Shore, which was driven down
1 per cent in the iast hour, on compara
tively high transactions.
The market reached the lowest point In
tho last hour and covering again caused a
rally toward the close, but while Lake Snore
rose to 123 the general list finally closed
quiet and heavy to weak at or near the
lowest figures of the day. The final changes
are all declines, and Union Pacific lost 1,
Louisville and Nashville 1, and C, C, C. &
St. L. 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds were more animated and
showed none of the weakness existing in
stocks except in the Atchison Incomes late
in the day. The dealings were $1,039,000. The
anal changes are generally advances.

Conditions Extremely Favorable and
Calls Met Wlthont Inconvenience.
There were no now features in the local
money market yesterday. Bankers were
somewhat critical as to the paper they were
offered, and accepted nono bnt the best.
This reasonable and necessary precaution
was not tho result of apprehensions of a
stringency, for thero was no lack of funds,
but was in line with the well-settled policy
to protect customers and established inter
ests. Rates were unchanged at 607 per cent.
Clearings were $2,386,280 6, and balances
$363,04303.
The Financial Chronicle remarks: "The
condition of Newlork banks is extremely
favorable. While there are heavy lenders
to other sections, last week's exhibit showed
that they are receiving from Europe and
and other sources mnch more than they are
paying out. Yet the movement of gold has
hardly begun. While last year our banks at
this period were striving to save their sur
plus, this year their condition betokens that
bv conservative management they will be
able to meet demands without tho slightest
inconvenience."

Yesterday was a dull day in the stock
market. Speculators-Tin the bear side did
their utmost to depress quotations, but re
sults wero hardly worth tho trouble. A few
concessions wero mtdo, but none of them
were important or significant.
Some one, presumably hard np or wanting
money to invest in real estate, let a mem
bership go at $375. They were tossed
about quite lively at the last call, but when
cornered np those offering them away down
took water. These maneuvers were some
what mysterous, but were probably in
tended to inject a little lifo 'Into the pro
ceedings.
At the last call Birmingham bonds were
offered at 97, with 93 bid. There was no bid
for-Liucoln school district bonds. Electric
scrip was wanted at 70 and offered at 75.
Electric was weak, but nobody wanted to
sell it. Subscriptions wero taken hero, in
Boston and New York for tho preferred
stock. For Birmingham Traction stock 16Ji
were bid. Dnqucsne was steady around
12.
Siles wero few and scattering. At the
first call 3C0 chares or Luster changed hands
at 12. This was the event of the imy. The
only sale at second call was that of ten
shares of the same stock at 12J Tho third
call was a failure, but after call a member-

Wednesday. Oct. 14. f
Country Produce Jobbing Prices
Markets in dairy product lines are still
active and prices are firm at the advance
noted yesterday. Leading jobbers report
that they are unable to supply demand for
choice grades of creamery butter. While
there is a sufficiency of common and low
grades, markets are well nigh bare of first
class stock. New York cheese is also firm,
with a tendency to higher prices. Potatoes
have been coming in more freely the past
few days, and our markets are now well
supplied with good stock. Sweet potatoes
are slow at prices quoted. In fruit lines
grapes have the call. Receipts are large,
but demand is good, and markets show a
nrmer reeling since tne weeic opened.
