Prime Light Butcher Eeeves Suffer least From the Drop. SHEEP AND SWINE WEAK AND LOWER OmCE OF riTTSBCBG DISPATCH. Wednesday, October 28. I 1'eceipts of cattle at East Liberty yards this week were about 150 carloads against 1G5 loads last -week. There were about 53 carloads from Chicago, the balance being in the main from Ohio and Indiana. The quality of the offerings was below late aver ape. and this means that quality was ex ceedingly low. There were no prime cattle of heavy weight on sale, and very few light primes. Coarse half fatted beeves were in supply far in excess of demand and could only be sold at a sharp decline from last week's prices. Buyers were not so numerous as last week, and those on hand made the most of their opportunity from the heavy receipts. Markets opened Monday at a decline of 10 to 15c per cwt from prices of the previous Monday. At the decline markets were slow and weak, and before the day closed there was still a further decline. Undesirable grades were Fold 30c per cwt below last week's, prices. And in spite of the concessions there were close to 20 car loads sent on East in first hands for want of satisfactory offers. A load of good beeves from Licking county, Ohio, weighing about 1,500 lbs, was sold to an East End butcher at 55 40. "With this exception there were no sales as high as 5c per pound. Iiight, smooth butcher beeves were in short sup ply and suffered least from the decline. There were no fancy fresh cows on sale. The best offered were sold at $40 per head. Veal calves of high quality were sold as high as $0 506 CO per cwt Sheep The number on sale for the week was about 30 carloads, against 50 loads last week. Notwithstanding light run markets were slow and weak, with f4 75 as top price of sheep and ?5 75 top for Iambs. Hogs were in lighter supply this week than last, and markets were weak and lower. Top price this morning was $4 504 05 for Philadelphias; fair to'best Yorkers, 54 40 4 50; common to good fat pigs, $4 004 40. A Live Stock Finn's Review. Following is the report of the week's work and prices at Liberty: Holmes, Kowlen, Briejgs & Co.: "We re port 145 loads of cattle on sate Monday. Almost half of these were from Chicago and Indianapolis. The average quality was not quite as good as last week, and no strictly prime offered. There was a general demoralization reported in the cattle mar ket at Philadelphia and Xew York, which bad a very depressing influence on our mar ket, and prices were from 15c to 30c per 100 cwt. lower tnan last week, wnich is con ceded by all to be the worst market since last fait "We quote: Xo prime on sale; good, 1,300 to 1.400 lbs. 44c; good, 1.100 to 1,200 lbs, 3'34'c; mixed and thin rough, 900 to l.'OO lbs, 24'3ic; good Ohio feeders, 1,000 to 1,'200 lbs, 53 403 90: stockers, 600 to 900 lbs, ?2 002 GO; cows and bulls, 1142c; fresh cows and springers, 520 0045 00 per head; veal calves, 55 50 tjjG 50.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. Numerous Fluctuations In "Wheat Corn at First Inclined to "Weakness, but Strengthens Iter Oats and Hog Pro ducts Weak Xews From 3Iany Markets. CHICAGO Wheat .was fluctuating throughout the session. It opened Hc lower, eased off c lower, c more on re ports of drought and damage to seeded crops, which caused a reaction, and prices advanced lc. Subsequently prices declined Kc, rallied again, and the close was ?i c higher than yesterday. The lower opening was a contincation of the weakness developed yesterday on weak er cables. There was considerable "long"' wheat sold early in the session, thought to be on Xew York account, the weakness in the market inducing some holders to sell out. The advanco which followed the early decline was due to rather unfavorable re ports of the growing crop. It is claimed that the wheat market is making slow pro gress owing to lack of moisture. There was some buying on these reports for an up turn in the market, and "shorts" covered some. Later BradstrecCi report of wheat supplies, which showed an increase of 5,507,000 bush els east and west of the Rockies, had a weak ening effect. Some of the wheat bought early in tre day was sold out again. Toward the extreme close" another batch of unfavor able crop news was received" from the South west, and this caused the rally to outside prices. December Vhcat opened with sales at 93?c and 93Jc, quickly sold to 94Jc, then to 94494?c, then to 93c, to 94c. to 93-Vc. to 949iic, to 91c. to W$li!, 94Xc, to 94c, ana closed at 94Jc asked. Corn was inclined to weakness earlv. but latter the covering by shorts was"resum-d and there was a very strong feeling. The corn market developed more strength dur ing the last hour on highor cables, an ad vance in New York, a good shipping de mand and free covering by shorts. Novem ber advanced to 53Jc and year to 46Jc At 1 o'clock it was 43c and year 40c May ranged at 42J42Jc. Oats were wenkearly on the large receipts November sold off to 29c and May at31;c. Both reacted later, to 2GJc November and 30JJ May, but softened a little afterwaid. During the last part of the session Novem ber sold to 29c and May to 31c, but eased off a fraction. Hog products were weak and lower early on the continued large arrival of hogs and the decliue in prices.

HAWAII AN AMEEICAN P0HT. "What the Effect "Will Be or the Laying of the New Pacific Cable. San Fkancisco, Oct 28. "When the Hawaiian cable is laid, and the United States ntilizes Pearl Harbor as a coaling and naval station, Hawaii will be as much a port of the United States as India is a port of England," said Dr. Mott Smith, Minis ter of Finance of the Hawaiin Kingdom. Dr. Smith further stated that'the islands are drawn to America in every way, and the United States need fear nothing from England's efforts to obtain a foothold. There is some amicable understanding be tween the United States . and England whereby the latter Government does not even maintain a coaling station on the islands. The completion of the cable will be a grand thing for the United States as well as for Hawaii. BEOKEKS-JINANCIAX.

Business is good, and improvements are numerous and important. The Snaman building, owned by Captain Dunlap, and lately wrecked by fire and ex plosion, will be rebuilt at once. The walls are sound, and will be utilized in the new structure, which will probably be one story higher than the old one. The Gregg building, on the corner of Fed eral and Lacock streets, is'nearing comple tion. It will be one of the best business stands on the Northside. No. 188 Federal street has been demoU ished and work commenced on a five-story business house to take its place. Nbs. 180 and 190 will be razed next spring to make room for modern business structures. J. K. Ewing & Co. sold a short time nsro to Samuel Weaver.a well-known contractor, a lot on Irwin avenue, 90x110, on which he will erect a row of handsome "apartment houses. Mr. "Weaver will start this im provement in a few days and expects to have the houses ready for occupancy by April 1. The Ninth U. P. Church people are dick ering for a site for a new house of worship. It is reported that they have made an oner tor a lot on Irwin avenue. Colonade row, on Federal street, which will be torn down next year, -may be re placed by a first-class hotel. The site is one of the be"st in either city for that purpose. The work of remodeling the Central Hotel building is in its last stages. The principal feature of the improvement is a restaurant on the top floor. Owing to the influx of strangers, many of whom are railroad men, who have been transferred from Alliance, the demand for small houses is almost equal to the flush times of last spring. The supply is totally inadequate a fact which builders would do well to take into serious consideration. East Bellevue is looking up. Quite a number of prominent Northside people have invested there in the last six months, some of whom have already built handsome homes and others will do so in the spring. Report of a Big Deal Confirmed. Two months ago Mr. H. C.

Park, and the consideration 150,000. The buildings are of little value, but the site is among the best in the city for busi ness purposes. It is not quite large enough for a first-class hotel. The purchasers have not divulged their intentions, but it is un derstood that they will as soon as possible raze the present buildings and cover the lot with one of the largest and finest busi ness structures in the city.

All Shares Depressed, Some Materially In dustrials Monopolize the Strength of tho Market, Led by Chicago Gas Coal Secu rities "Weak Sugar Trust Attacked. New York, Oct. 23. The stock market was less active to-day, and prices, while fairly well held in the forenoon, gave way mate rially later in the day, and the net result of the day's operations is to leave the general list large traotions and. special stocks mate rially lower than last evening. There was no change in the aspect of affairs in general. The support so lately ac corded by the foreigners was lacking, and domestic buyers wero generally scarce, so that the dealings lost none of their profes sional character, and in the intervals be tween the raids became intensely dull. The drives in the fqrenoon, after a weak opening at fractional losses from lastnlght's figures, were itupart'ally distributed among all the leading shares, though the moderate, de mand for the time being prevented any ma terial declines, while in some cases, as in Northern Pacific preferred, slight gains were shown at times. Ihe Industrials, as usual of late, however, displayed all the real strength seen in the market, and Chicago Gas rose a fraction in tho face of the general weakness and was followed later in tho day by the Cotton Oil shares, "which made material advances. On the other hand, advices from Philadel- fhia of a proposed new opposition to the ugar Trust invited a specially heavy drive at the latter stock by the traders, who are always on the alert for vulnerable points in the list. The pressure upon it was not lifted until the close, when its price, while a shade better than the lowest of the day, was 3 per cent lower than last evening. The late trading saw a vigorous attack upon the Coal stocks, which brought all of them, and especially Lackawanna, Delaware and Hud son and Jersey Central, down. The declines in these stocks also stimulated selling of the general list, and the lowest prices of the dav were reached all along the line. There was the usual limited attempts at covering in the last .hour, but the market c'osed dull aud weak at about the Ion fest prices of the day. The important losses were: Sugar, 3; Jersey Central, 2J; Commer cial Cable, 2K; Lackawanna and Tennessee Coal, IJr, and Delaware and Hudson 1 per cent, while Cotton Oil preferred rose 3 per cent. Railroad bonds felt the general apathy also to-day, and the dealings in that class of securities, -while very widely distributed, were comparatively small, leaching only $I,06-i,000, and in none of the leading specu lative issues was there any marked anima tion to be noted. The temper of the market, however, was stronger than that of shares, especially in the forenoon, but the list yielded laterin the day, and where advances were made in tho early dealings they were generally lost later in tho day. No material change was made, though the close was quiet and heavy.

POTATOES ARE SLOW. RECEIPTS IN THIS LINE CONTINUE IN EXCESS OF THE DEMAND. Poultry Quiet and Eggs Firm Cereal .Ke ceipts Large for the "Week and Prices Are Steady Sugars Active for the Season. Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, Wednesday, Oct. 28. 1 Country Pboduce (Jobbing Prices.) The supply of potatoes is still in excess of demand and markets are slow. There were close to 200 carloads on sale this morning in the various railroad yards of the city, and it required very fancy stock to bring 40c per bushel. Sales reported were generally 4 to 5c below this figure. A leading com mission merchant was willing to be re ported as ready to sell the best on the market at a shade below 40c per bushel in carload lots in any amount from 5 to 10 car loads. Apples are firm and in improved de mand the past lew days. Iteceipts of bananas are large this week, the total being about 23 carlads so far, the greater part being chilled stock and has only a nominal value. Messina lemons arc steady and Malagas are weaker. Malaga grapes re cently offered are off as to condition and quality and 'prices are weaker. Florida oranges are coming in freely, but a major part of receipts are green.
