QUALITY BELOW LATE AVERAGE.
Markets Are Steady at rrice3 Which Pre

8WIN1 ARE LOWER AND SHEEP HIGHER
Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, )
Monday, Xov. 2. J
There were 102 carloads of cattle on sale
at East Liberty this morning against 150
head last Monday, arid not a load of heavy
prime beeves in the lot. Primes are con
spicnous.of late for their absence from our
local markets. Almost one-fourth of to
day's offerings were from Chicago, the bal
ance being in the main from Ohio and
Indiana. The quality of the cattle on sale
this morning was below average, and this
indicates as plainly as possible the low
quality of offerings.
"While buyers were present in fair force,
and supply was 50 carloads below that of
last week, markets opened slow at about old
prices. There were no beeves offered good
enough to bring a nickel a pound, and yet
prime beeves were worth more than Cc per
pound ia Chicago. The Pittsburg butcher
who caters to the best trade must needs jo
to the Western metropolis to secure his
supplies, as there are no prime beeves on
sale here, and have not been on sale for
months past. Fresh cows of high qnality were
not in supply eqnal to deinantlat Kast Lib
erty yards this morning. Sales were re
ported at 550 00 and 553 00 per head. These
were the exceptions. Markets ranged from
S30 0045 00 per head in a general war.
The top price of veal calves was Cc per lb.
An Abundance of fork.
Hogs The run was large and markets
were slow at a sharp decline from last
week's prices. There were upward of 50
carloads on sale, against 28 loads last Mon
day. Top price this morning was 54 05
4 io per cwt., a decline of not less than 60c
from prices of a week ago.
The time is here when hogs and hog
products are in such abundance that prices
are sure to go even lower than they now
are. At the late decline price of hogs is
more than 25c per cwt above last year's
range at this time. "With the great corn
crop.it is only a question of time when
there mnst be a further drop in prices.
Sheep and lambs Receipts in this line are
very light this week. There were on sale
this morning only 9 car loads, against 17
last Monday, arid 24 loads the previous
Monday.
Notwithstanding the run was so light,
markets showed little improvement over
last week. Choice grades were a shade
higher, but common stock was slow at last
week' prices. The top ot the market for
sheep was 5c per lb, and for lambs $5 25.
Only the best on sale brought these prices.
Allegheny Yard..
Supply of cattle at Herr's Island yards
was a lair average, both as to numbers and
quality. There were no heavy prime beeves
on sale. Demand was slow ana prices were
lower than last week. All Ih e stock mar
kets are reported slow. The nants of
butchers here.seem to have declined materi
ally of late. The bet beeves on sale were
sold at 55 75 to 56 00 per cwt.; medium
weights at 55 00 to 55 50; good 1,300 to 1,400
lb cattle at 54 00 to $4 50; fair to choice
light weights. 53 75 to 54 75, and common
to fair thin and rough steers at 53 00 to
53 50. There were on the market a few
Jiatler county heifers and light steers, but
there were no offers above 3c '$ lb, with
SJffc asked. Bulls and drv cows were
quoted at 2)c to 3c per lb, fresh cows
at 530 00 to 545 00 per head, and

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
The Tendency of Wheat Weak, Though fop
a Time It Holds Its Own on Bullish
News Corn and Provisions Strong and
Higher Oats Easy.
CHICAGO On the whole the feeling de
veloped to-day in the wheat market was
weakor and fluctuating. Tho drouth,
continues, although it is cloudy
nearly all over the winter wheat
country, hut indications were gen
erally for colder weather. This, to
gether with hUrhcr cables and a report that
tho Russian Government had prohibited the
exports of all grain except wheat, had tho
effect of holding the market prettv steady
during tho early part of tho day. "But the
speculative offerings were quite heavy to
ward noon larger than the demand would
absorb and the result was n shorn break in
prices.
Early in the session there was bnt little
change from the closing figures of Saturday,
opening sales being at about the same flsr
nro as Saturdny's closing to Jc higher; tnen
eased off KJC from top flaures, recovered
again, held lairly steady until well toward
noon, when tlio market became weak under
freer offerings, and prices declined Jte, or
Vyiz in all; then became stronger, and the
closing was about JJgJc lower than Satur
day. Corn was strong and higher, owing to the
reports of Russian prohibition and the fact
that only 60 per cent of the moderate re
ceipts were of old corn. Shorts began to
cover frcolv nt tho start, and November sold
from 5252c: eased off, and at 12 o'clock
was 5'2Jac; year sold at 44JiQ16c, and at
12 o'clock wast5c: Mav was active and
strong, selling from 42J 43 4-Sc, and then
at fcl',ic The corn market also turned eay
during the last liour, November falling to
52c: year to 54?e and Mav to 3c.
Oats strong at 3030Jc for November,
and 3132 for Jlay: but caed off some.
The feolinic grow weak toward the close.and
November sold tp30c and May to 3lc
Hog products were active aud higher. Tho
short interest is pretty large, and us there
was very little disposition to sell to-day cov
ering soon became brisk and a sharp ad
vance resulted. January pork sold from
$10 85 to $11 15. and at 12 o-clock was $11 10.
January lard sold at J6 026 17, and oft to
$6 12K: January ribs from $3 GO to $5 75, eas
ing off to $5 75. During the last hour weak
ness ruled, January pork selling to $U 12J:
January lard to $6 12, and January ribs off
to $5 70.

THE DRIFT OF A DAT.
Pittsburg Not Much Affected by th&
Boston Bank Failure.
GENERAL CONDITIONS ALL RIGHT.
Business on 'Change Knocked Out by the
Approaching Elections.
ANOTHER GOOD DEAL ON THE NORTHSIPE
The most important deal in real estate
that came to the surface yesterday, was the
purchase by W. A. Herron & Sons, for the
Schenlcy estate of the property of the Alle
gheny Light Company, lot and buildings,
on East Diamond street, Allegheny, for
540,000. The Schenley estate owns adjoin-.
ing property and wanted this to round it
out The lot fronts 60 feet on East Dia
mond and runs through to Sandusky street.
A Glance at Business Conditions.
There was a cloud about as big as a man's
hand upon the business horizon yesterday,
caused by the embarrassment, possibly fail
ure, of the Maverick National Bank of
Boston. "While there are no apprehensions
of serious results to Pittsburg, or the coun
try, from this financial misfit, its effect will
be more or less dfiressing until the affair
shall be bridged over. It is too big a thing
not to be felt outside of the limits of Bos
ton. Troubles may come and troubles may go,
but business will pursue its customary
course. Americau capital, brains and in
genuity constitute a triad of almost uncon
querable factors. They cannot be downed
by anything short of a general catastrophe.
Pittsburg is as sound, commercially and
financially, as at any former period In her
history.
Conditions, locally and generally, with
few exceptions resulting from dishonesty,
extravagance or mismanagement, are work
ing together for a forward movement after
the elections. The great holidays of the
year are coming near. This is always a time
of great activity in Pittsburg, and this sea
son will be no exception. Merchants are
making preparations fcr even heavier sales
than last year, which were the largest in the
history of the city. Enterprise of all
kinds is favored by an easy money market
and a tendancy toward still lower rates and
easier conditions. The bugbear of a strin
gent market no longer chills the ardor of
enterprising people.
One of the most encouraging features of
the situation is the continued receipt of
favorable railroad returns, lleports are al
most uniformly good. Returns for the third
week of October, for instance, embracing 83
roads, show a gain of 5871,512 over the cor
responding time last year. The iron mills
will soon nave plenty of business.
Further evidence of a sound business
basis is furnished by improvement in the
bond market. A vear or more ago all first
class railroad bonds were selling on a 3 and
4 per cent basis; now, owing to the fact that
for a year or more the rates for money have
averaged jrell up to 6 per cent, the bond
market has accommodated itself to the new
conditions and first-class securities can be
bad which will net the .investor from 4 to 5
per cent.

change in rates or general conditions. A

the disposition is to hold rates steady at 6
per cent for the bulk of the loans. Deposits
keep up well, And the banks hold at' least 30
per cent .reserves. Commercial papor is
being bought freely bv interior banker nt

Only One Sale at the Three Calls Coal
Stocks Looking Dp The Listed Trac

As nobody had expected much business on
'Change yesterday, tho outcome, only one
sale, was not surprising. Politics was about
the only thing discussed.
The sale referred to, that of a 100-sharo lot
of New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Com
pany, at 11, waB significant of a rising de
mand tor coal stocks as winter approaches.
About the only change in the natural gas
group was a declino of a point in Wheeliug
at the last call. Manufacturers' Gas joined
the active list after a long retirement;
All of the lilted traction except Pittsburg
wore slightly weaker. The nnlisted trac
tions wore about steady, with a light in
quiry and no offerings except in a very small
way.
Luster and Switch and Signal advanced a
big fraction each, with none of either in
sight. The holiday had a deterrent effect
upon buyers. Bids and asking prices at each

A WALL STREET MYSTERY
CLEARED BY THE FALL OF THE MAV
ER1CK NATIONAL BANK.
It Explains the Hea,vy Sales of Stocks by
Boston Houses Only Shares in Which
That Center Is Interested Are Affected
Seriously by the News.
New Yor.K, Nov. 2. The closing of tho
doors ot the Maverick National Bank of
Boston this morning wa9 a surprise to most
people, but it revealed the reason of tho
gelling of stocks for some time past by
houses with Boston connections, and pre
cipitated the selling out of many lines of
stocks held in that center. The number of
these stocks, however, was small, and really
the effort to get out of them with as little
loss as possible should have had little or no
influence npon the general list, and it would
have had none had it not been for the fact
that traders and shorts of all kinds made it
the opportunity to hammer the list and
afterward buy in their shorts on tho de
cline. After the opening losses tbo demand from
the shorts was sufficient to steady the mar
ket, and even in fuse some strength into it.
Tho activity for tho first half hour was
something which has not been seen since
the late boom culminated, and about one
half of the entire business of tho day was
transacted during the first hour. The ex
citement then died away, and the dealings
lor the remainder of the day were almost
teaturelesS with a firm tone throughout. As
a matter of course the losses were chiefly in
the stocks in which Boston is most largely
interested, and New England, Atchison, St.
Paul and Bui ling ton were the centers of at
traction for the time the excitement lasted,
but only in the first two of these was the
loss, after that of the opening, of any im
portance. New England closed on Saturday at 39e,
but opened this morning at 37Jc, a loss ot 1
per cent, ana was uiierwara uriven uoira to
36Vic, but recovered to 37cand closed at
37)!c, a net loss of 1 per cent. Atchison
opened down a fraction, and then lost ljper
cent, touching 41c, but closed at its open
ing figure. Of the Boston stocks only Burl
ington, with a final loss of per oent, showed
anyieal weakness during tho day. A drive
was at Northern Pacific preferred, but the
result was only a small fractional loss, and
although Lake Shore, Pacific Mail and Dela
ware and Hudson each opened one per cent
lower, their recoveries were generally com
plete, especially In the last named. The
market finally closed dull but at about the
highest prices, but generally small fractions
lower thau on Saturday.
Railroad bonds wero only fairly active, and
during the activity in stocks were quite neg
lected, though recovering their relative im
portance later in the day. Aside from Rich
mond and West Point Trust 5's, and the
Atchison incomes, each of which rose about
one per cent, there "was no feature to the
trading, though the business, which
amounted to$l,016,500, was widely distributed.
The highest and closing quotations were:

AFRAID OF CONSUMPTION.
His Catarrh Reached His Lungs.
Mr. Andrew I. Montgomery lives at 132
Washington street, this city, aud is employed!
Andrew I. Montgomery.
1 1 he printing establishment of II. L. McGaw
& Son. proprietors and publishers of the).
West End Record. Hear wliat he says of the '
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, its physi
cians and mode of treatment. "I think I had,
la grlnpe last winter, although my catarrhal
troubles dated back to about two years ago.
My head had a stuffed-up feeling in tb.9,
morning, my right ear often pained me, had
pain in my sides, could not sleep well and,
lclt tired and languid. The tough mucus
that dropped into my throat was difficult to
raise. My appetite failed, had belching of
gas after eating, and my stomach wa so
weak I had to be careful of my diet. The I
disease finally reached my lungs so that I.
often felt soreness in my chest. Not being'
able to find relief and gradually getting;
worse, I became afraid I would run into '
consumption unless I soon obtained help."
"Rending of so many cures made bv tha
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia In
stitute, and that they were catarrh special
ists, I consulted them. They made no big;
promises, but refencd me to others who had
been cured of conditious worse than mine.
This gave me some hope, and, finding their 1
terms reasonable and within my reach, 1
took a course of treatment and became)
cured."
"I now feel well and strontr as everv. r
have since indnced 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 be
glad to further describe my case to anyone
who may call at my home.
