Prime Eeavj Cattle JTo longer a Quantity in Local Trade. EHEIP AEE FIES AXD BWISE WEAKER Office of Pittsburg Dispatch, ) Monday, November 33. . At the East Liberty yards there were 102 carloads of cattle on sale this morning, gainst 105 loads last Monday. Quality of offerings was no better than a week ago.and could .not be much worc. Prime beeves have ceased to be a quantity in our local markets, &s prices for this grade are higher In Chicago than they would bring here. Fancy cattle were sld tlicrc lapt week at 6c to 6Jf c per pound, and yet there have been none offered in East Liberty for a month past thatsoldfor a nickel a pound in carload lots. One load of fairly good Indi ana beeves weighing ltS50 to 1.41K) pounds, was offered to-day at this price, but there were no takers at this price. So far as could be learned the top of the market was f4 00 f o S4 75. Buyers were not present in as large force as usual and the few on hand made the most of their opportunity to bear markets. Pales were only made by conces sions on last week's prices for all grades with the exception of light, smooth butcher beeves, which were in short s'upply. Views- of the Commission Men. Commission men all reported hard mar- H Jtets ana tne prospects were wnen tne morn ing was 'wellnigh gone that a goodly num ber would remain unsold. Supply of fresh cows was light, but sufficient lor demand. The few on hand sold at last week's range, ?45 00 being the top of market. There was a fair run of calves and last week's prices were maintained, the following being the range of markets: Grassers, 24(&t4e per lb, and scalers, 5j(p,6c per lb. Sheep Market opened with 13 loads on sale, against the same number last Monday. Prices were strong for sheep at last week's range; higher for lambs. Top price ot sheep was 5c per lb. and lambs 5c Only a few bunches of the best reached these top figures. There were upward of 70 carloads ot hogs on sale, with a prospect of reinforcements through the day that would bring the total up t'o 80 loads or more. Markets were slow at S3 95 to ?4 00 for tops. According toad vices received by one of our packing firms, receipts at Chicago were 53,000 head to-day, and. tendency of markets there was toward a lower level. The run of hogs at Western live stock centers for Xovember shows a large increase -on the corresponding month last year. A single week showed an in crease of 45,000 head over the corresponding week of 1890. Jit the Alleclieny Yards. The number of cattle on sale at Herr's Island wasbout the same to-day as a week ago, and quality was somewhat lower. The best Chicago beeves were sold at a range of $5 50 to $o 75.

The Bruins Have the Best of the Tnssle In the Wheat Pit The Com Clique Braces Up, Raising tho Price of ILo November Fnturc CHICAGO Wheat was dull and weak dur ing most of tho session. The bulls were timid, whilo the bears, having the best of it in tho news, were confident and inclined to Dc aggressive. Cables were weak and lower, with domestic markets also tending down ward. Considerable long wheat came on tho market, and this, with the shore soles, caused a lower price in the arternoon. May started at 9SJic and December Qlc. There was a gradual decline to 9ic for May and 91c for December. Later there was a moderate reaction on some covering, and by a rumor that the foreigners bad begun buy ing at the seaboard, and JIny sold back to P-c, ana December to 913c Near the close thore was renewed weakness, December selling to 01Jc, and May to flSJJc Corn was something of a surprise to those who had expected a collapse in the Novem ber squeeze, for tho weakness, whicii was such a prominent leaturo Satnrdav, had cn tirelv disappeared. Transactions in this month, however, continued verv limited. The closing- price on Satnrdav was CSc. The first sale to-day was at 70e. Then there was a lonsr wait without any trading, and finally 74c was paid; then 75c was secured for some, and that was the closing price. The identity or the leading shorts, if there were any. was not disclosed. December opened at 4Cc, against JG'c at the cloe Saturday: sold at 46?c, touched 46:c, and closed at JGc. May lltic,tt;ated within a range of Jc. Oats were quiet and featureless till late in the session, when covering by shorts sent November from 32Jc to 3iJc, closing at C4 SIJc. May was steady at 3lQ3sfc. 'f here was a very heavy run of hogs at tho stockyards this morning and prices were lower. Ilog products were, consequently, lower in sympathy at the opening, but shorts co vcred rat her freely, cansing a re covery, and the close was at unimportant changes from tho last prices of Saturday.

HOLIDAY INFLUENCES ARfr FELT. Saturday's Boom in Local Speculation Shows Staying Qualities. OFFICE AND STREET NEWS. AND GOSSIP The week's business opened under favor able auspices, and " the general tone of the markets was strong. Money was without special feature, but the call from manu facturers and merchants was sufficient to maintain rates. It is seldom the banks are so strong so near the great holidays of the year. The stock of funds, will soon be largely incrcAsed by interest and dividend disbursements, which will assure a contin ued easy market for some time to come. The foreign trade of the country was never in a more prosperous condition. Ac cording to the Journal of Finance for the four months ended on October 31, compared with 1890, the imports of merchandise show a decrease of $25,934,446, and the exports an increase of S43,48o,8o5, an excess of exports of ffl9,84G,49C, against an excess of imports of S!t,093,505a year ago. Deducting the bullion movement, the net excess of ex ports in the four mouths was $44,091,801, against an excess of imports of 52,000,209. Xo such favorable figures have ever before reflected the condition of our foreign trade. A Xcw York bond specialist says: The feature of the bond market during the past week was the wide range of trading, which included an unusually large number of dif ferent classes of bonds, as well as the verv marked increase in the investment demand. "While this continues to be largely of a re tail character, the tone of the market has improved in a very decided way,- and the transactions show conclusively that the speculative anticipation is favorable to an increased and eager demand for bonds after January 1. The railroad situation continues full of bull points, and the good outlook ahead seems to reach well into the future, as the roads will have the Columbian Exposition tranic following soon alter the heavy ton nage which arises lrom the transportation of the crops of 1891; and part of this tonnnge, that pertaining to corn, will last well up to the end of 1892. Business News and Gossip. The Pittsburg and Birmingham Traction Company will give out a statement this week.

THE MONETAE? DEIFT. Business of the Usual Character, but the Tone More Buoyant. There was nothing in the local money market yesterday out of the usual. There was a fair call for loans, which were prompt ly met at6 per cent in nearly all cases. De posits showed a gam, denoting increased activity in trade circles, due in some meas ure to holiday influences. Tbo general tone of the market indicated improvement. The business of the month which closed yesterday was satisfactory. Industrial im provement was quite marked, and confi dence was materially strengthened. There w ere no important financial disturbances of local initiation, and several depressing in fluences of long standing were removed. One of these was the rehabilitation of the Electric and ManufacturingCompany. This enterprise touches so many interests that its return to a sound basis is a distinct gain to business generally.

CHICAGO GAS AND DISTILLERS LEAD A DULL SHAKE MARKET. The Former the Only Stock That Makes a Material Gain The Opening Very Weak . A Scarcity of- Stocks Small .Effect or tho Failure. Xew York. Nov. 30. The stock market was very dull to-day in the main, tmt under the circumstancesshowed considerable strength and the dullness was in a great measure due to the scarcity of stocks for sale, the only sellers of note being the bearish traders, and, to some extent, the foreigners, though tho offerings of the hitter are very well covered tip. The opening of the market was weak un der the influence of these offerings, and first pricoswere generally lrom 14 to Jgjerccnt lower than Saturday's final figures, these losses being supplemented by further de clines in the early trading, which brought the extreme losses up to nearly 1 per cent. The discovery that the complications aris ing from the Field. Lindloy. Weichers A Co. failure wero exaggerated, and the announce ment that the market would tako up the bonds which were in the hands or the inno cent parties created n good feeling. Later in the day there was a renewal of the lato good buying of the Vanderbtlts, and this movement gavo the whole list an im petus which had the ffect of completely wiping out the early lossos, and in many cases of making substantial gains in addi tion. Tho strong features of the day, how ever, were tho Industrials, especially Chi cago Gas and Distillers, and the former is tho only stock which finally closed at a ma terial Improvement on its last week's price. The market finally closed quiet but firm, and most of the active stocks to-night show small gains for tho day, notwithstanding tbo setback in the forenoon. Chicago Gas, how ever, with a gain of 1 per cent, is the only one of importance. Railroad bonds showed rather more ani mation, but the business done, which amounted to $1,488,000, was very widely dis tributed, the Northern Pacific 5s beinz the only issues showing any marked activity. The temper of the dealings was mixed, but most of the time a steady to firm tone pre vailed, and as usual of lato tho more prom inent issues show only insignificant changes. a no niguest auu ciusiii tjuuiutioiis were; Atch Inc 04 (3 64 Col Mid Is 110 I10 C&tPM AOConl20!4120'4' Duluth S S Is.

CEREALS AND HAI WEAK ASD LOWER Office or PrrrsnnRa Dispatch, ) Mosd.vy, Nov. 30. ( Country Produce (Jobbing Prices) The usual Monday's quiet is reported by commission men. Thequiet is more in tense than usual, as a result of a reaction from Thanksgiving activity. The lull which uniformly intervenes between the Thanksgiving and Christinas holidays ii here Dairy products, poultry and eggs are all reported slow. Country butter is in bountiful supply ami slow demand. Oleo is selling at about the same price as the or dinary grades of country butter, and the former seems to be preferred by the average consumer. Butter that is not the best is not wanted. The only dairy product that holds up well in price is cheese. Pall prints and vegetables are sfill dull and slow. Irish and sweet potatoes are heavy stock at prices quoted. There has been a plethora of Flor ida oranges in our markets of late, and pTices have steadily declined until, accord ing to the general view of dealers, hard pan has been reached.
