Monday, November 23. (
There were 103 carloads of cattle, on the
market at East Liberty this morning, a
large proportion of which were common and
low grade. There were r.o prime heavy
beeves on sale and very few light primes.
Iiess than 5 per cent of to-days offerings
wer from Chicago. The balance were
chiefly from Ohio and Indiana. Buyers
were present in fair, but were very slow to
catch on. Concessions were demanded on
last week's prices which sellers reluctantly
yielded to, tor the reason that there was no
alternative.
There were no beeves on sale which
brought above ?4 GO in rarload lots, and
very few reached this figure. -As prime
cattle are worth ?C 00 and upward in Chi
cago, it is plain that there were no primes
on talc at East Liberty. There was a fair
run of fresh cows and the number of choice
ones was larger than usual. Sales were re
ported as high-as 5S) 00 per head. High
grades were much more easily sold at the

inside rates, ltange of markets was S2.1 00
(50 00 per head.
Calves were in fair supply and last week's
prices were maintained. "Graspers ranged
in price from 2J.J(o3Vc per lb, and vealers
irom 5Ji6c per lb.
There .were 13 loads of sheep on sale at
the Liberty yards this morning, against the
tame number last Monday. Sheep were
steady at last week's pr'ccs, and lambs were
e. shade lower. Top price of lambs was $3 10
per cwt., and sheep $j 00, with exceptional
sales e shado above these figures.
Hogs Receipts were about to loads, and
markets slow. Markets slow, with $t 10 as
top for Philadelphia. The entire range of
markets was $3 70 1 10.

WIDE GRAIN FLUCTUATIONS.
Wheat Doth Opens and Closes Quiet, but
Experiences a Untge at Midday Oats
and Corn Close With a Strong Upward
Movemont Provisions TVeaU.
CHICAGO A quiet market, tending to
weakness during business, followed by a de
cided bullae in prices, and then a recession
which left the market unchanged from the
closing figures of Saturday, is the story of
the trading in wheal to-day.
The early news was mostly bearish. The
receipts, both here and in the Northwest,
were heavy. The Ontario, Canada, crop es
timate made the total 2,000,000 bushels larger
than last year. The visible supply wasex
poctedtoshowa heavy incrcase.especially in
view of the anticipated leappcarancoof tho
2.OCO.CO0 bushels, which disappeared at-Buffalo
last, week, and the wires East were
greatly demoralized, delaying orders. Then
news was received confirming the issue of
the Russian export prohibition. Liverpool
washisiicr. Seaboard clearances were lib
etal and tree buying orders were received.
Later, when the visible supply was posted,
fchowing an increase of over 2,o00,000 bushels,
the market weakened and bulls proceeded
to take their profits, with the result that all
of thi- cdvice was lost.
Sflllns against privileges kept tho price of
corn down some nt the start, bnt after tho
limits bad bcn passed the market bnlced
fcimrply. The ticall local stocks, higher
cablet-and corn unfavorable for grading,
vie.-eiill ocl! factors, and there were liberal
purchases of December and year by parties
who havo been iden tilled with Xovember on
the bull aide. All of thcte thinss scared tho
F'.tortM and tJ.ere was a jump upward.
November s;oted an odvauce of 4Jc over the
closinc price Satntday, and -locd at the
top. December is u p lc. May i.c
Oats sympathized with corn and closed
witii an advance of JJgrJgc. Receipts of hogs
we:t heavy and tho estimates for thcta were
also heavy.
Hot products were weak at the start and
declined in price for a time, but rallied later
in sympathy with the strength In corn, but
the appreciation, however, was not held,
mid tho close was near lowest figures of the
day.

STONEWALL JACKSON'S FLAN.
A Startling Statement That He Proposed
Raising the Illack Flag.
H. M. Field, D. D., la Harper's Monthly.)
Ono chapter, however, furnished by an
other pen, is new and startling that which
ascribes to Jackson at one moment a pro
posal to raise the black flag! This is the
last extremity of the war, and its most hor
rible barbarity. Tho very word suggests
slaughter without mercy. The black flag
flints only at the masthead of pirate ships,
telling by a sign that cannot be misunder
stood that quarter will neither be asked nor
given. In a warfare on land it would bo un
derstood as a massacre of prisoners, a thing
unknown among nations at the present day,
and that would bring upon any man or any
government that should attempt it the exe
cration of tho whole civilized world. The
very idea of such a thing is so alien to tho
character of Stonewall Jackson that a state
ment of this kind must be received with
great reserve.
It would not be deemed worthy of a
moment's attention were it not that it is
given on the authority of his own brother-in-law.
General Rufus Burringer, of the
Confederate army, who details at considera
ble length a remarkable interview that took
place after the seven-days' battles, while the
army was still encamped near Richmond.
But the statement is explicit, and leaves no
doubt that Jackson believed In the Crom
uellian way of carrying on war that, if war
mnst be, the more tremendous the blows the
sooner will it come to an end and he would
push the war into the North and make it
felt in all its severity: But he never would
have dealt with prisoners as Cromwell did
with the Irish garrison at Drogheda, or
Napoleon with'the Turks at Jaffa.
The best proor of what he would do is in
what he did do when the fortune of war
threw a whole garrison into his hands. At
Harper's Ferry he captured 11,000 men, and,
instead of treating them with crcat sever
ity, he paroled them all; by which, instead
of being sent to Southern prisons, they were
transported to a camp near Chicago, where
the v ere kept in comparative comfort till
they were exchanced. Of course, if they
violated their parole they would bo exposed
to the utmost penalty of war. But the policy,
instead of being cruel, was tho mildest that
could have been adopted. It was not. how
ever, on tho ground of humanity, but to dis- I
rapidly, which ho could not do with thou
sands bf prisoners dragging on its heels. If
at Harper's Ferry he had stopped to look
after them It would have delayed his march
to join I-ee for the approaching battle.
When he declared.thoi-efore, that ha would
"keep no prisoners," it was for a military
reason. He had laid out a plan of campaign
which, he believed, if vicorously pushed,
would end tho war. It was to lorm three or
lour great "movable columns" of 40,000 men
each, which should be literally stripped for
battle, leaving behind not only prisoners,
but even fortified posts, tnat tho whole fight
ing force might be concentrated into a few
compact bodies, which could be moved with
great rapidity into the Northern States and
ujntinst Xorthern cities. That this grand
strategy would have succeeded we do not
believe, for the best of all reasons, that it
was twice attempted and failed at Antie
tam and Gettysburg in the first of which
Jackson himself took part. But nt the time
of the interview this bad not been at
tempted, and he was very sanguine of suc
cess, even picturing to himself how he would
Tdnnt his guiiR within shelling distance of
Philadelphia and Xew York.

DRIFT OF BUSINESS.
Reports of Easy Money Come From
All the Great Centers.
FOREIGN BANKS STRENGTHENED.
Stormy Weather Causes a Quiet Day Among
the Local Balls and Bears.
OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND G03SIP
The easy condition of the money market
is attracting attention aud comment in all
quarters. That this is so after the heavy
exports of gold to Europe, only about one
half of which has been returned, and the
large sums concentrated in the West to
move the crops, is agreeably disappointing.
Nothing languishes for want of financial
support.
On this subject the Wall Street Neuss says:
"One of the most important factors on the
bull side of the stock market at present is
the increasing case of the money market
both here and in London. The New York
banks are adding to their reserves, the re
turn flow of money from the West, South
and the interior has set in, and gold im
ports continue to add to our stock of the
yellow metal. The foreign bankers are all
strengthening their position to as great an
extent as possible. The Bank of England
increased its stock of gold 131,000 last
week, and now holds 23,076,692, against
22,557,908 a year ago. The Bank of
France added 11,475,000 francs to its gold
"account, which now stands at 53,125,000,
against 44,oH0,U00 a year ago. The Im
perial Bank of Germany has also improved
its position, so that all are now better pre
pared to undergo a strain than they were
at the time oi the Baring collapse last
year."
Manufacturing Site Sold.
Another manufacturing site on the
Northside has changed hands. ,T. K. Ewing
& Co. have closed the sale of one in the
Ninth ward at a price approximating
15,000. This is the fourth transaction in
this kind of property in Allegheny within
two months. J.ne purchasers win build or
improve in the spring.
Real Estate Brokers' Commissions.
The Appellate Court of Indiana held, in
the recent case of Barnett versus Ginting et
al., that a real estate broker, employed at a
stipulated commission, in case he finds a
purchaser for certain designated real estate,
at a price fixed, who produces a purchaser
ready, able and willing to purchase at the
price and upon the terms, with notice to his
employer, is entitled to his commission, and
that the fact that the conveyance was made
to some person other than the. real pur
chaser, if it was the same transaction, and
resulted in the sale of the property, of which
the broker was tho procuring cause, would
not debar the latter from recovering his
commission.

H0HETARY HATTERS. .
Quiet Day at the Banks and in Business
Circles Generally.
The weather yesterday was unfavorable
for outdoor operations.. People kept undor
cover as much as possible, venturing out
only when the call was imperative. Busi
ness was, therefore, light. Bankers reported
no change in conditions. The supply of
funds was ample and the rate nnchanged.
Bank clearimrs were $2,7S3,03S 9i and bal
ances $419,093 34.
Speaking of Saturday's New York bank
statement, the Investigator says: "It showed
an increaso of $3,870,000 in the surplus re
serve, made up ot an increase of $3,934,600 in
.specie, $1,2S6,0000 in legal tenders and $5,402,
4u0 in deposits. Yet the loans were increased
only $55,400. The bank? now hold $14,324,000
abo've the 25 per cent on deposits, and are in
a much stronger position than usual nt this
season of the year. The increase of $5,321,200
in specie aud legal tenders reflects the do
mestic and foreign movement of money dur
ing the week, and gives assurance of an easy
money market during the winter."
HOME SECURITIES.
BUSINESS BADLY CRIPPLED BYTHE
STOBM.Y WEATHER.
Sales of Large Blocks of Daquesne Traction
and Allegheny Valley Railroad the Feat
ures of the Day Other Characteristics or
a Blue Monday.
The stock market yesterday was a very
tame affair. This can fairly be attributed to
the weather, which displayed all of its bad
qualities. Telegraphic service was badly
crippled.
Sales on call were 10 shares of Airbrake at
100 and 10 Luster ,at 1L After the last
call 200 shares of Duquesne went at 1S, and
1,000 shares of Allegheny Valley Railroad at
10 cents a share. x
There is considerable speculation as to the
outcome of this stock. Some hold that re
organization will be completed by April and
the road put on a paying basis, in which
niiif'fflitlMi f V'tV"81 -'ri "tTrintTr i"1"iiifrtTliVvif'rfr&1fjttofess'r-" a&jfitet AB$w&&Lai&& miii&lkim&iit- 1 "'ii'1iiTalaWn1mnMiifiiwffaWay' uriffwLwfiMK'iMffiWmf;tfiti!i'U ,
event those now glvinir the stock away will
regret their shortsightedness. Others can
seo nothing encouraging in the outlook, and
think the stock is dear at nny price, with an
assessment hanging over it. 1 esterday was
the last day for signing tho reorganization
agreement. Tho Fidelity Title and Trust
Company reported that $1,609,000 bonds had
been surrendered, but very little stock.
New York and Cleveland Gas Coal was
held at 50. The last reported salo was at 42.
Thogasscrs were steady. Pleasant Valley
advancod a fraction. Luster was more buoy
ant on reported favorable news.which could
not be verified.
The rest of the list about held its own, but
Duquesne, Birmingham and Manchester
Tractions displayed a firmer undertone. Bids
and offers follow:

Monday, Nov. 23.
Country Produce (Jobbing Prices)
Monday is uniformly an off day in this de
partment of trade, and the heavy rain
storms made this Monday more offish than
usual. Transactions at commission houses
were very light. The only article that
showed any great buoyancy was cheese.
Choice grades of New York and Ohio
cheese are very firm, and our prices are ad
vanced in accordance witli the facts.
Creamery butter is fairly steady at quota
tions. Strictly fresh eggs are scarcely to be
had. Hens have apparently lost their grip,
and the eggs now on sale are almost uni
versally cold storage stock. Poultry is in
active demand, and prospects are that there
will be hardly enough to go round this
Thanksgiving "week. The turkey crop is
reported light, and those who will give
thanks over the national bird must pay full
price.

ALL THE SITES GOBBLED.
Councils May Have to Fay Big for a Free
Bridge Site Private Corporations Hayo
Secured Nearly All the Franchises
Bobertson Has One.
If Councils do not keep their eyes open
they will have to pay a large price for a site
upon which to build the proposed free
bridge to the Southside. As there is now
8100,000 set apart for such a bridge, those
interested are beginning to make prepara
tion for building the bridge. To this end a
resolution was passed by the Bridge Com
mittee last week instructing Chief Bigclow
to ascertain the cost of erection and pur
chase of property necessary for a bridge.
Talking over the matter yesterday the
chief said the committee had limited him
to the space between the Smithfield street
and Tenth street bridges, and on looking
over a city map he found that there was
really only one good location in that terri
tory for abridge". That was from the foot
of Brewery street, below Second avenue on
the north, to the foot of south Eighth
street. Mr, Bigelow said he thought the
cost for such a site would amount to com
paratively little, as the city would have the
streets for approaches, and the only cost
would be for adjacent property that might
be damaged slightly by the building of
abutments.
But in the city clerk's office there is an
ordinance, presented last June by A. C
Robertson l'orthe Short Way Bridge Comp
any, which covers the same site suggested by
Mr. Bigelow. The company has a State
charter and according to the ordinance,
owns property at the northern terminus of
their proposed bridge below Second avenue,
but they ask for Eighth street as their
Southside end. This ordinance was referred
to the corporation committee but has not yet
been acted upon. Who compose the members
of this company could not be learned.
The Southside Bridge Company, also in
corporated under State laws, holds a charter
and right of way grante'd by Councils for a
bridge from property owned by the com
pany at the corner of Uoss street and First
avenue to the foot of South First street.
The ordinance for this company was passed
July, 1890. This company was in the deal
to close out opposition against the Bir
mingham Traction Company, it is said, and
never really intended to build a bridge, but
they may ask a good price for their right of
way if the city wants to use it.
The South Twenty-second Street Bridge
Company lias a right of way granted by
Councils also, but their proposition is to
cross the river at the foot ot Brady street to
.South Twenty-second and the resolution of
the bridge committee does not extend to
their site.
A SCENE IN A C0TJET EC0M.
An Excited Man Armed With a Dirk Ap
peals for Aid From a Prisoner.
Minneapolis, Nov. 23. Leo Heilpern,
a forger, of this city, has been sentenced by
Judge Canty to six years in the peniten
tiary. Just before sentence was pronounced
the judge was handed the following note:
Dear Judge A man in an apparently ex
cited condition Just came to the office and
used this language: "If you hear anythinz
drop in the Heilpern case thLi morning I
want you to notice it. A word to the wise it
sufficient." I asked his name, but he did
not stoo to answer. I do not know what
this means, and I wish yon wold call atten
tion to it. "Yours truly,
Benjamin Davenport."
The Judge read the communication, and
immediately held a whispered conference
with Deputy Crowe, who told his Honor
what he knew. As a result, additional
deputies were sent for trom the other court
rooms, and (he suspicious looking individ
ual was ordered to step outside. He re
fused. A couple of deputies seized him,
and then commenced a most exciting strug
gle. "Speak, speak, Heilpern; soy a word for
me. I have fought and worked for you for
a long time. Don't go back on me."
Heilpt rn, pale as death, stood mutely at
the judge's stand, his fingers nervously
twitching, his lips moving, but no words
coming from his mouth. Again and again
was Heilpern called upon by his unknown
friend for assistance.
"Why don't you help me, Heilpern?"
rang from his lips. "Help me, I say," but
Heilpern was motionless. Just as the
frantic man was being hauled through the
doors Leo seemed to regain his nerve, and
advancing to the judge's desk, in a whis
pered tone told his Honor he knew nothing
whatever of his alleged friend, or what he
was attempting. The man who caused all
the rumpus was taken to the jail and placed
in a cell. His name is Charles A. Orr. A
desperate struggle again ensued while he
was being searched, and a long dirk was
found upon him,
Witherow's Creditors to Meet.
The creditors of J. P. AVitherow & Co.
will meet here to-morrow to consider the
affairs of the firm and decide whether to
grant an extension of time or not. E. C.
Darley, the Southern representative, ar
rived in the city yesterday aud registered
at the Duquesne. Tiie company has con
siderable money tied up in the South, where
it is difficult at present to make collections,
owing to the low price of pig iron and the
stringency in the money market. The
works at ifew Castle are' now being oper
ated by the receiver. Mr. Witherow will
make a proposition to his creditors, and he
thinks, if allowed seven to eight years, he
can wipe out his debts.
The Kev. Mr. Nott's Terrible Revenge.
Kortiifokd,- Conn., Nov. 23. The Kev.
Mr. Nott, who, as a member of the Board of
Education, ordered Miss Denton, one of the
teachers, not to attend a dance, and was de
fied, has resigned both from the board and
from his pastorate. Miss Denton had writ
ten him, denying his right to control her
conduct in the matter, and Mr. Nott said
that unless she apologized he would resign.
A mass meeting sustained Miss Denton, aud
the resignation followed.

vorced wife of the shooting.but she declared

Streets Kept Clean.
LADIES MAKE A FIGHT FOR LIMA OIL
Lndies do not like smoke, at least those
in this section do not. They are keeping
up the war on coal smoke and have arranged
! for a test of the Thaver water-eas furnace
! at the power house of the Pittsburg Traction
' Company,atWashingtonstreet, The Ladies'
Health Protective Association, which has
been investigating the merits of smoke con
sumers in Chicago, reports favorably of the
Thayer and in order to push it into use has
prevailed on the Traction Company to givo
it an experimental trial, which will- begin
at 11 o'clock this morning. The ladies hava
invited counctlmen and railway men to bo
present at the test.
Mrs. John M. Oakley has made a censui
of the firms in this city using Lima oil for
fuel, and refers to them as proof of the pos
sibility of abating smoke through its use.
In Chicago it is pumped through the streets
and those using it are charged what meters
show they use. The plan gives satisfaction.
Declared War on the Ft, Wayne.
The Ladies Health Protective Associa
tion will this afternoon call on Superin
tendent Starr, of the Ft. Wayne Kailroad,
and jog his memory regarding the use of
bituminous coal in locomotives within tha
limits of Allegheny City. A call will also
be made on CKief Murphy and demand that
the ordinance requiring'the use of smoke
consumers on the Northside be put into
effect. They also propose to move on Chie f
Brown's works on this side, and will noi
forget Chief Bigelow as they go. The latter
will be asked to explain "why Smithfield
street and Liberty avenue are not swept ex
cept by ladies' skirts on such days as yes
terday. They object also to the accumula
tion of cabbage leaves and other vegetable
detritus, which they consider a nuisance no
longer to be tolerated.
Evidently the Ladies' Health Protective
Association does not intend to allow itself
to become an old broom, and if the nuisances
complained of cannot be obviated, the mem
bers propose to know why. If they keep up
the warlare they may in time accomplish,
much good.
Baltimore Held Up as an Example.
Baltimore is reputed to be the best
managed city in this respect in the United
States, and it is because of the persistence
and vigilance of its people. Nothing
offensive is allowed to lie an hour on aoy
street. If the proper person does not
attend to his business the calls by telephone
from the section suffering give him r.o
rest and he is glad to get a chance to perform
the duty in order to stop the ringing of iM
telephone. Pittsburg has plenty oi- ordi -ances
on the subject, and werethey enforced
the municipality wouldnot only be rendered
healthier and more sightly, but people
would soon discover that it is just as easy f
be clean and comfortable as to be dirty an I
uncomfortable. While thej may for .1
time resent the apparent ofnciousness of tha
association, in a few months they will be
calling down blessings on their heads.
