Moxdat, October 26. 5
There were 120 loads or cattle on sale at
ilic East Liberty yards this morning, against
140 loads last Monday, and 120 the previous
Monday. In to-day's receipts were over 50
car loads from Chicago. Quality of offerings
was not up to the late average. There were
no heavy primes on sale as there isuo longer
a demand for this sraae, nnd light primes
were scarce, Buyers were not on hand in a
larjre number as lat week. Those present
made themo-t of their opportunity from the
large run. and markets opened dull andslow
a a decline of 10c to 15c per cwt from last
Monday' prieo.
There wsr a larr;e run of coarse half fatted
beeves pithing from 1100 to 1200 ft, and
i'sis cradc suffered most from the decline.
A leading stockman who had on sale 7 loads
pood but not prime Indiana beeves weigh
ins trom 1200 to 1400 ft. was hopine to
obtain a nickel a pound for his stock, but
when this edito left the yards the signs
wrre that there wonld be a concession to
the buyer, before a sale could be made. So
far as could le learned there were no cattle
sold at East Liberty to-Uay above a nickel
per pound.
No Primes on Sale.
As primes arc wonh nbove 6c per ft) at
Chicaeo it is evident that there were no
primes on sale at the Libertv vards. Fresh
cdws of good quality were in scant supply.
There were no sales reported above $40 per
read. Choice grades would have found
ready sale at ?i to $50 per head had there
been any on hand, lieceipts of calves were
a lair average and prices ruled shout the
hacie as last week, with fJ'fc per lb as top of
markets for fancy vealers. Sheep There
were about 17 carloads on sale ajjainst 24
loads last Monday Notwithstanding light
ran markets were weak, and last
seek prices were barely maintained.
Top price of sheep was 5c per lb. and lambs
So 2T, and only a few of the choices, reached
these figure'. Hogs The number on sale
at the opening of markets this morning was
2S carloads, against 45 loads last Monday
and . the previous Monday. Owing to de
cline of receipts markets are a shade
stronger than they were a week ago. York
ers ranged from $4 3."i4 50, and Philadel
piiias from $4 654 75 perewt. Receipts at
Chicaso to-day were 30,000 head, and top
price there was 4 30 per cwt.
Allegheny Yards.
Receipts cattle at Herr's Island yards
were not so large this week as last and mar
kets were steady at a range of 15c to 25c per
cwt higher than last Monday Demand,
however, was slow, and at noos prospects
cre that concessions would be necessary in
order to unload. Best heavy beeves were
quoied at S6 25 to 56 40; medium weights at
?5 00 to 55 75: light weights at 4 25 to
4 75, and common grades at ?2 50 to $3 50.
Fresh cows of good quality were in light
supply, and markets ranged from $30 00 to
SJO 00 per head. There were 3S head of
calves on sale, and pricei ranged from 4c to
6Vc per lb, the latter price being paid for
fancy veals. Supply of cattle from sur
rounding counties was very light. Drovers
report an unusually light supply of cattle in
the hands of "Western Pennsylvania stock
raisers. Receipts: From Chicago LZeieler,

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
A Good Builness In V heat, "Which Is "Weak
and lower Corn Strengthens Darimr the
Day Onts Easy Hog Products Start Firm,
but Kaso Off.
CHICAGO In the wheat market to-day a
goodbusinejs was transacted, tlio market
ruling weak and lower. The opening was
kSe lower than Saturday's closing, ruled
temporarily weak and then became Ami,
advancing -'c, but later developed a very
weak feellng.'and prices declined ic, held
steady for awhile and , closed 56J-fc lower
than Saturday's close.
The speculative offerings were heavy at
the start, hut they were soon absorbed, in
fluenced, no doubt, l7 tho stronger tone of
cable advices. There was a liberal increase
In the visible supply nnd heavy receipts In
tho Northwest, which exceeded any pre
vious Monday's receipts this fceason. Indi
cations of a hi increase in the supply and
the large leceipts iu the Northwest, with
weak Into cables and easier domestic mar
kets, finally turned prices downward. The
put prices held for a time, J)ut some of the
early buyers rlnallv began to sell and the
woaKness soon cnueu.
December declined toiH'c; reacted some,
and at 11 o'clock was 94'c against 95Jc at
the close Saturday. When the visible sun
pi v whs posted, showing an increase or3 000,
000 bnshcls, there was a rush to sell, and De
cember wen off toStc: reacted tol'4Vc, and
at 1 o'clocte was 91c Longs showed ri eat
discoui-asemen- and liquidated freely, while
short sellers told heavilj .
Corn started weak and lower, but im
proved later and held uo well. The local
receipts were about SO cars moro than ex
pected, and, with n moderate demand. No
vember selling at iSc and May 422Jc.
But New York was higher and the demand
increased, November improvinc to 5c;
cased off to W.e. and at 12 o'clock was 50j,c
May sold np to 12;c, and at 12 o'clock was
42Jic The mai ket turned quite strong dur
ing the last hour, and October sold at Ka
Oats were quiet and easy, mainly on tne
liberal receipts. November t-old at 29J
SS'ic, and at 12 o'clock was 29gC May sold
at 3HisifeC and at 12 o'clock i ns 31'ic. Tho
market strengthened a little during tne clos
ing hour in sympathy with oorn, and tho
decrease of 372,000 bushels in the visible
supply.
II og products were rarhor firm at the start
but sold off, largely on the estimated liberal
receipts of hogs 'to-morrow aud the weak
ness in wheat. January poik sold at $11 45,
eacd off to $11 30, and at 12 o'clock was
$11 32JX- January lard sold from $6 421$ to
M 37i," to $5 90. January ribs, $5 375 90.
The market continued weak durinc tne Inst
hour, influenced largely by the prospective
heavy receipts of hoprs. January pork sold
ott to sll 30, and lard to $6 (fiyi, ana January
ribs to $5 S7i, but there was a'alight reaction
in all products.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

A GOOD BEGINNING.
Local Trade Starts Out in Excellent
Shape for a Busy Week.
AN IMPOETAST BUSINESS LEASF.
Deported. Sale of the Stewart Farm at
Parnassus to Local Capitalists.
OFFICE AND STREET SEWS AM) GOSSIP
The week opened with a good movement
in nearly all business lines. Monetary
affairs were easy. Indications of an im
provement in the iron market were more
pronounced than a week ago. Large rail
road earnings will sooner or later react
upon this great industry. The outlook for
Pittsburg and her enterprises was never
more promising than now. Comparing
conditions with a year agOj the merchant,
the manufacturer and the mechanic have
better opportunities for makinginoney than
then. Speculation alone languishes.
An Important Lease. r
Black & Baird yesterday leased for T. P.
Bedillion, of "Wheeling, but formerly of
Pittsburg, to the Pittsburg "Wall Paper
Company, for five years at an annual rental
of little "less than 2,500, Xo. 821 Penn ave'
nue. The building, a three-story brick, will
be remodeled to suit the requirements of the
business in hand, and a plate glass front
will oe put in.
ISoomed by the Duquesne.
The opening of the "Wilkinsburg branch
of the Duquosne Traction 'lload marks a
new era in the history of rapid transit in
Pittsburg. It will bring a large amount of
real -estate into the market and hasten its
development. A few far-sighted people,
who had faith that the Duquesne Traction
people would carry out their promises, and
bought property on the line of the road,
will realize largo profits from the enhance
ment of values which will naturally fol
low. Extensive improvements between
East Liberty and Pittsburg are already
talked of, some of which will no doubt be
consummated.
The Stewart Farm Sold.
It was mentioned in this column about
two months ago that a deal was on for the
purchase of the II. S. A. Stewart farm, at
Parnassus, by a local improvement com
pany. According to inside information the
transaction was consummated Saturday aft
ernoon. The farm contains 200 acres, a lit
tle more or less, and the consideration was

The abundance of money seeking invest
ment is a strong factor in the expectations
of owners and agents of still greater activity

market was perfectly stable and promising.
Prices, too, on a good deal of insido property
have been put at a hi.
h rate, and many
agents say, in tho way of complaint, that
much capital belonging to outside elicnts
has thus been kept out of the local market.
Owners wanting to realize should tako this
phase of the matter into consideration.

A RUSHING BUSINESS.
Philadelphia Gas and Pittsburg Traction
tho Strongest Features Goods Offered
Sparingly, Showing That Holders Expect
a Tarn in tho Tide Price Changes.
Thero wns very little trading in stocks yes
terdjy, and the markot was practically fea
tureless. There appearedlo bo some buying
orders, but the goods were not to bo had.
The only business at tho two first calls was
the making quotations. At tlio last there
Mere two sales 10 shares of Allegheny Val
ley Railroad stock at 2 and CO shares of Lus
ter mining at 12.
Price changes were small in all cases, with
more gains than losses. The strongest fea
ture -nas Philadelphia Gas, which finished
Js better than the opening. It is character
istic of this stock that it is either very strong
or very eak. It occupies no middle ground.
Tittsburg Traction was bid up a big fraction..
Duquesne nlso improved Its position, being
wanted at 12 and offered at It. There are
many who think tho Wilkinsbnrg branch
will be-the most profitable part of the road.
Electiic wns weak on reports that sub
scriptions to the proposed stock would have
been 11 failure out for tho guarantee. Tliis
scarcely tallies with previous advices, and
should be accepted with some grains of al
low ancc. As a lact, enough of the stock has
f
been converted to assure the success of the
re-organization plan.

A DEMAND FOR GOOD BONDS
NOW THE Si OST PROMINENT FEATCBE
IN THE SITUATION.
Stocks Dull and Fractionally Lower, Partly
On Account of the Approaching Election
Chicago Gas Is the Strong Point In the
Active Mst.
New York, Oct. 26. The stock market to
day was dull throughout, and while alter
nately firm and heavy no material move
ment occurred except in one or two stocks,
and while the final changes in quotations
ai'o generally losses thoy aro in most cases
for insignificant fractions. This stnte of
affairs reflects only the uncertainty which
has taken possession of operators, though
the near approachf an important election
has its influence in keeping the market dull
within nariow limits.
The most prominent feature of the present
market is tho demand for good railroad
bonds. The demand for bonds is not con
fined to this side of the Atlantic, as large
orders are being received from London.
The trading in stocks to-day waB almost
entirely of a professional character. For
eign operators were buyers of St. Paul at
the opening, which was firm though quiet,
but aside from its activity St. Paul was not
prominent in tho movements of the day.
Chicago Gas was the strong point in the
active list, but Michigan Central scored a
gain of !' per cent. On the other hand
Tonnessee Coal, after rising a fraction to 40,
dropped to 38, and recovere&only a fraction,
and Delaware and Hudson dropped 1 per
cent, while the advance in Michigan Central
wns not held.
The carlv Improvement in the general list
was fractional, and tho cessation of the
early demand offered the usual opportunity
to hammer the list down, and prices were
soon placed below tho level of the opening
figures and kept thoro for the remainder of
the day. Covering helped a partial recovery
iu tho last hour, but no material movement
took place except in Chicago Gas, which
was again bought lor Western account. The
markot was unusually barren of feature,
and finally closed dull, though firm on the
rally, with most stocks slightly lower than
on Saturday. Chicago Gas shows the only
advance, its gain being 1J per cent, while
Delaware and Hudson is 1 per cent lower
and Tonnessee Coal 1 per cent.

were specially prominent. The market was
strong almost from opening to close, in
marked contrast to the share list, and while
the gains, as a rule, are fractional, a few is
sues made mado material progress. Many
of tho inactive bonds made marked ad
vances. The market closed stroug at the best
figures. The highest and closing quotations

An Active Movement, Racked by a Feeling
of Confidence.
The financial sitnation at the beginning of
the week was encouraging In all of its
aspects. Tho banks were well supplied, but
not burdened with funds. There were signs
on every hand of increasing financial
strength and vigor amontr all classes. The
large business of the Clearing House denoted
an active movement in general trade. Call
and time loans wero quoted at C7 per cent
respectively. Bank clearings were $2,235,
C47 45 and balances $372,433 S3.
In regard to silver, a London correspond
ent writes: "Tne market continues very
?mct. Thero is no speculation, the demand
or the Continent is small, and the Indian
demand is less than it lias been for a long
time past. East year, it will be recollected,
the exports of the metal to India were on an
enormous scale. Evidently thoy were larger
than the country required for the moment,
and It will be some time, therefore, before
India is able to absorb all that has been
sent. Meantime, however, the exports are
very large, and by and by a demand will
spring up."
At New York yesterday money on call
was easy, ranging from 3 to 4 percent, last

Country Produce Jobbing Prices. -j
Monday is always an off day in produce
lines, and to-day was no exception to the
rule. Keccipts of potatoes are on the de
cline, but markets are still quiet. Apples
are in bountiful supply and slow. The same
is true of quinces. Grapes are in fair sup
ply, but their end is near. Supply is fully
equal to demand. Malaga grapes are plenty
nnd markets are a shade lower. Receipts of
bauanas to-day were 17 carloads, but large
quantities of those on sale were chilled,and,
therefore, sold at nominal prices. Choice
bananas found ready sale at outside quota
tions. Strictly fresh eggs are scarce and
very firm. The Pittsburg egg market is
relatively lower than the New York mar
ket. At New York prices of fresh eggs are
firm at 25 to 2Gc per dozen. Creamery but
ter of high grade is ill limited supply, but
sufficient for demand, which has declined on
account of high prices. Poultry Is plenty
and tends lower.

yesterday a tremendous meteor was ob

passing directly from west to cast. It was
red and emitted flashes of bluish fire as it
passed. For nearly half a minute after it
had passed it3 patliway across the sky could
lie traced by a luminous line. Hunters who
came in this morning from east of Itiggs, on

His Catarrh Reached His Lungs.

Andrew X Montgomery.
in the printing establishment of IL I,. McGaw ,
& Son. proprietors and publishers of the
West End Record. Hear what he says of the
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, Its physi
cians and mode of treatment "I think I had
la grippe last winter, although my catarrhal
troubles dated back to about two years ago.
My head had a stnffed-up feeling In tho
morning, my right ear often pained me, had
pain in my sides, could not sleep well and
lelt tired and languid. The tough mucus
that dronped into my throat was difficult to
raise. My appetite failed, had belching of
gas after eating, and my stomach wat. so
weak I had to be careful of my diet. The
disease finally reached my lungs so that I
often felt soreness In my chest. Not being;
ablo to find relief anil gradually gettlnjr
worse, I becamo afraid I would run into
consumption unless I soon obtained help."
"Reading of so many cures mado bv the
physicians of tho Catarrh and Dyspepsia In
stitute, and that they were catarrh special
ists, I consulted them. They made no bi;
promises, but referred me to others who 1-ad
been cured of conditions worse tnan mine.
This gave me some hope, and, finding their
terms reasonable and within mv reach, I
took a course of treatment and became
cured."
"I now feel well and strong as every. I
have since induced several of my friends to
go to these specialists, for I feel very grate
ful for what they have done for me. I shall
always recommend these physicians as
worthy the name of specialists and shall bo
glad to further describe my caso to anyone
who may call at my home.
