FEW PRIME BEEVES. Receipts of Cattle less This Than Last, and Only Week LIGHT PRIMES HELD THEIR OWN. Common and low Grade Stock a Shade Lower Than last Week. GOOD SHEEP AKD SWINE KEMAIN FIRM Office of Pittsburg DisrATcu, ) WmsESDiT, Nov. la There have been on sale at the East Lib erty yards this week about 93 loads of cattle against 130 loads last week and 115 loads the previous week. There were no heavy prime beeves on the market this week in carload lots, and there have been none for week's past. Light smooth butcher beeves, weighing 1,100 to 1,300 lbs, were in short supply and brought a shade better prices this week than last. All other grades were slow at a decline from last week's prices. "While the run was light, buyers were pres ent in smaller force than usual. There were no sales above a nickel a pound, and very few at this figure. Poultry, game and oys ters are now to the front, and the efiect is seen in lessening demand for staple meats. Fresh cows of high grade are in good de mand at So0 00 per head, while low grades are neglected. Calves are steady at last week's prices, 6c being the top o"f markets for job lots. Sheep and lambs There have been about 20 load? on the market this week against 35 loads last week. Choice sheep are a shade higher but common stock is dull at last week's prices. Hogs Receipts in this eek were the lar gest of this season. There were To loads on sale Monday morning, and 35" loads were re ceived since that time. There were more hogs weighed at the East Liberty yards on Mon day than any time in the history of these yards. Markets were dull at the beginning of the week, but have gained since that time. This morning there was an active demand, at ?4 004 10, for Philadelphias. A Live StocR Firm's Review. The following is the situation and out look as given by Holmes, IJowlen, Briggs & Co: VTe report 90 loads of cattle on sale Mondav and Tuesday, which was 40 cars less than last week. The attendance of buvcrs was short and receipts of cattle were light. Ituyers showed no disposition to be in a hurry to buy. All salesmen started out in an effort to advance prices, which thev accomplished to a small extent, on neat, fat 1,100 to 1,200 lb steers, which were very scarce and first sold. Unhandy grades and even good, fat 1,300 to 1,400 lb" beeves were very dull and hard to sell at 510c lower than lat week. The receipts were light jesterday and everything sold at steady to strong Monday's prices.

Awaiting the Neva of the Wheat Ckuso Makes an Unsettled Market The Heavy Expected Advance Fails to Come Corn I'asier OatH Dull. CHICAGO The wheat market did not show that material advance to-day that many traders anticipated and that the weather reports scemea to justify. That it did not is due, perhaps, more to the feeling of uncertainty that generally prevails as to the probable action ofKussia than to the prospective heavy receipts. The bad con dition of the telegraph wires during the early part of the day made it impossible to obtain full and accurate news from tho out side world, and as a consequence the market was very inactive for n while. When it did become active influences were very con flicting. Sradstreet's report of tho stock of wheat was rather bullisn, showing an increase of only 1,014,000 bushels east of the Kockics and a decrease of 337,000 bushels west, a net in crease of only about 707,000 bushels. It was rumored that Germany would reduce the duty on grain one-half. While there was moi or less uncertainty as to the Russian edict having become a law, yet operators seemed to place some reliance in the report to-day, and shorts were rather anxious to cover, but they round plenty ot wheat on sale. But about 12:30 o'clock the maiket be came more active on the rumor that the ukase in Ru-sia prohibiting the export of w heat had been signed, and then as quickly declined asnin on its denial. The opening was about the same as yester day, ruled easy and 'declined a5gc, then rallied ;Ke ruled steadv for a while, and then advanced Jc, declined c and closed about the same as yesteruay to c lower. The Mar inturo showed the most strength and the diffeience between that and December was w idened out to 67c premium The corn market was easier and governed by about the same influences as on the day heloie, or which the fine, cold, dry weather was the most important. The sale or 'o vemoermade this morning was at 51Jc and the next at 51ic It sold as low as 507c, then advanced to 52J"c and closed at 51c. Year started at from 454Jc, declined to 4l5gc, then advanced to 4"ic, and closed at 44J-8e. Slav opened at 42JJC, sold down to 42K42,5gc," reacted to 43c. and closed at 42c The "oats trade was dull, so far as the speculative market was concerned. First prices were about the tame as those that prevailed at the close last night. May opened at 32Jc, sold to 32c to 32UC, and closed steadx at 32J32Jc. November and December were unusually quiet. The provision trade was lairly active but prices went off on heavy bogreceipts.which were reported in a second dispatch from the vards to amount to 53,000, and prices 10c lower. December pork wus found diflicult to deal in at the nominal market price, and bad to be bid up or offered down according to tho operator who wished to buy or sell. December polk opened at $S 30tf?S to, sold as high as $8 50 and closed at $8 45; compared with $8 tali yesterday. January closed at a loss or 15c, und May or 32Jc. L"rd showed a loss at tho close at from 5g7c, and ribs weio7HCc lower. The leading rntures ranjred as follows, as cor rected by John M.

A Fair Movement, With No Change In the Condition. Business was reasonably active at the banks yesterday, but there were no now fea tures. Thoregulaiity with which trade is moving denotes confidence and the absence of disturbing influences. The supply of funds was ample. There was no change in the interest late, which was 6 per cent as the rule, though some shading was reported. Bank clearings were $2,133,372 42, and bal ances $403,969 35. The Iniencaji Banker remarks by way of encouragement: "This country is bound to become the financial stronghold of the world. Any other country would have been well nigh ruined by the loss of so much gold as we sent to Europe the past nine months. We parted with it without the slightest dis turbance of our financial structure, and could probably have parted with much more. Our bioad fields of grain and cotton, and our immense stores of minerals, make us the favored nation of the earth, leaving little need for concern for our future."

There is no despondency in the iron trade. Bailroads are already placing orders for rails and other equipments. A prominent manufacturer says ofthe outlook: "The gen eral outlook for trade is healthy and in the main encouraging. Indications all point to prosperous business next year. There can be no question hut that in many lines man ufacturers will be taxed to their utmost ca pacity." Points in Lumber. The lumber trade is active for the season, the building period having been greatly ex tended by reason of good weather. A local dealer said yesterday: "Most of the yards are carrying full stocks of building material. Prices are steady. There is in the wholesale branch a noticeable strengthening of tone in the higher grades of lumber. There is the utmost confidence in regard to an active market next spring, provided there are no fresh labor troubles." Declared Against Skyscrapers. Public sentiment in Chicago has turned against unreasonably high buildings known as "skyscrapers." Public health and safety have protested, and the Real Estate Board of that city has finally succumbed. At the regular monthly meeting of the board last week it was decided that the Public Service Committee use its best efforts to se cure the passage of an ordinance limiting the heights of office buildings to 180 feet, of mercantile buildings to ten stories, and of family hotels and apartment houses to 100 feet. The resolution to this effect was a compromise measure. Business News and Gossip. Pittsburg is full of building schemes for next year. Should there be no labor trouble great progress will be made in providing homes for the people. Improvement of the streets has enhanced the value of Edgewood property fully 25 per cent. It always works that way. It has leaked out that the pressure of the "Wilkinsburg gas well was greatly exagger ated, and that the. 75,000 otier for it was purely imaginary. Four building permits1 were issued yes terday for the same number of improve ments, all small, the estimated cost of all being placed at 53,400. Investors would not forget that several pieces of valuable property will be offered at the Real Estate Auction Board Rooms at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

W. M. Pollock, of M. F. Hippie & Co., is building a nice residence on Bucna Vista street, Allegheny. Several other houses are going up in that locality. Reports to the contrary notwithstanding, it can be stated authoritatively that the Leonard property has not yet changed hands. At the last call yesterday 18 was bid for Birmingham Traction stock.

Uncertainty of the Outcome of Traction Deals Causes Bayers to Hesitate Values Firm, but Trading of Small Account Somo Probably Wild Gossip. Dullness was the most conspicuous feature ofthe stock market yesteiday. The only sale on call was that of $3,000 Duquesno Tiaction bonds at 90. While the feeling was bullish, there was no disposition to operate. Sellers wcio unusually backward about offeiing their goods. The maiket was a waiting ono. Tho tractions maintained their advanced ground, but uncertainty in regard to pending deals repressed enthusiasm. It was reported that consolidation between Pittsburg and Du quesne had actually been consummated, but it coula not be verified during the after noon. . ., Anothor interesting rumor was to the effect that the Central Traction Company proposes to reduce its capital to $900,000 bv reducing the par value of tho shares to $30, leaving only $2 50 to be paid in, forwhich a stock dividend will be issued. WhUe this would be a move in the right direction to put the road on a permanent dividend-paying basis, tho report cannot b vouched for, and its only effect may bo to produce a smile at the expense of the credulous author. There was some complaint of scaroity of gas but It made no impression on tho stook. A business man said: "1 Ya. short of the fuel this morning, and told- themanagorof one of the eompanios so. He replied: 'We NOVEMBER '19, ' 189L have plenty of gas and ore not suffering at' all. -That may be true,' I rejoined, 'but your customers are.'

Weakness in Klchmond and West Point Holds Back the Market The Increased Dividend or Burlington Falls to Advance That Stock Slight Gains. New Toiik, Nov. 18. The stock market to-day was somewhat more active than that of yesterday and displayed decidedly more strength, especially In the forenoon, but the gains were generally lost owing to the weak ness in tho Richmond and West Point secu rities nnd the consequent checking ofthe buying power, though no losses for moro than small fractions were seen outside of Kichraond and West Point shares. The mai ket shows evidence of a very large short interest, both hero and in London, and while the speculators are operating for a de cline in the main, operators who pay for their stocks, as welt as the more prominent of tho stieet operators, are known to be buying at every material reduction. The peculiar conditions which now control spec ulations, however, aro seen in the fact that the dividend on Burlington, which was in creased, failed to move the price of the stock up much after tho reduction had depressed it some 10 per cent, and tho expectation of the p'if-Bing of the dividend on the llichmond and WestPolntpreforred to-day dropped the stock 6 per cent on light transactions. Tho upward movement, however, while not so sudden, is mote steady, and the gen eral market to-day acted moro like a bull maiket than it has lor some time, and many stocks reached figures which they have not seen in a long time. Burlington touched par, and Northern Pacific preferred, 70. The London figures this morning weie all lower, and the traders sold the list at the opening on the strength of the aspect of the foreign markets: but whllo the foreigners were small sellers at theopeningthey soon turned buvors, and beyond these purohases there was a buying power which advanced the Grangers. Coolers and Vanderbilts, materi ally helping along the rest of the list. The gains extended In these shares to 26 percent, and only the Richmond and West Point stocks were slugglsln nnd when the announcement was made that a failure to secure a quorum had been made, the infer ence that the dividend would be passed pre cipitated an attack upon all securities of the road, and tho common stock retired from 12 to lOJ and tho preferred irom 51 to 43J, though tho latter afterward recovered to 51. Outsido of the dealings in these securities there wcio no special lcatures to the trad ing, and while the sudden nnd material de cline in them caused a settling back of the regular list, a few maikod advances were scored, and the market, as a whole, closed quiet but firm at something better than last night's figures. The loss in lMchmond nnd West Point common wa only per cent, but the preferred is down 4 per cent, while Sugar Is up IK and Delaware and Hudson ltailroad bonds were like stocks active and strong in tho forenoon, but reacted later in the day: but while the advances wero generally insignificant, a few issues show material gains after all.

THE ADVENT OF THE COLD WAVE STIMULATES HOME MAKKETS. Eggs and Dairy Products Firm Cereal Eeceipts Are Light and Prices Are on the Advance Sugar and Coffee Are Very Steady. Office op Pittsburg Dispatch, Wednesday, Nov. 18. Country Produce (Jobbing prices) The cold weather has very much stimulated markets in dairy product lines, and outside quotations of choice creamery butter and high grade cheese are readily obtained. Strictly fresh eggs are also very firm, with a tendency toward a higher level. Poultry is moving freely at prices quoted, and de mand has caught up to supply. Quality of bananas on the market is a great improve ment on last week's offerings, and prices are firm at an advance. Florida oranges are very abundant and markets are slow. Pota toes continue dull, and only the very best bring outside prices. Sweet potatoes are also slow and dull at prices quoted.
