Pittsiutg, I)ecotnl)crSO. j
The n-.n of cattle, sheep and hoirs at the
Ea: liberty yards lias been very liijlit all
this week, and prices were advanced all
alnnjr the line. This vas according to, prec
edent, as shippers arc accustomed to wiih
hold stoclC durinj; holiday week. Advices
fron Chicago and other live Mock centers
rive assurance that there will be more than
nongh to the front next week. There have
en, all told, about 70 carloads of cattle on
?le this week against ." loads last week
ml OT the previous v,-i. About two-
Mrds of this week' oi'srings were from
hicago.
The quality of otTerisgs wcro below the
average. There were n - V- imes and few good
cattle on sale in ca-liad lots. Markets were
ictive, and generri lwiuro was I3c to 23c
higher than last .icek The highest price
viid wn $4 W. veal calves and fresh cows
'High qnalitv "ere in light supply, and the
few oflerod soM readily at a shade better
prices than i.ere obtained a week ago. Top
price of vcalers w:i -fij r0 and graspers
raniod in price frim $i on to $3 30 per cwt
Receipts of hog-, vriv light, and prices
tin-, week were 23c toffle better than last
week. On Monday there were abont 3S loads
in sale, and tojw were sold at $1 15. Since
Monday theie ha been, a steady upward
n.ovcmcnt. and alo- of fancy stock were
made tills momingat $4 49. Total receipts
lor.the week so tar, hare not been above CO
cars, against more than 100 ears last week
md the week before
The advance i not likely to hold, being
ue only to a short supply- "Western live
tock confers report large r-oeipts and easy
aarkets, and a reaction at till point is sure
in the next day or two.
Sheep The "number on sale this week lias
leen 22 carload-, about the same as last
reek. Trice- were a strong c higher on
ill good grades.

DULL ON 'CHANGE.
The lethargy on the Chicago Board In
creasedWheat Strong on Turcliases to
Even Up Old Tear Deals Provisions
Change From Weakness to Strength.
CHICAGO Trading in wheat was very
slow to-day. and the market was almost
featureless," though prices were generally
firm and higher than at the close yesterday
attcrnoon. The strength showed was chiefly
the result of purchases to eren up deals pre
paratory to beginning the new year
with squared accounts. The buying was
not large, and when- the demand had
been supplied the market again rein psed
into dullness and weakness. This was aided
by a later report in regard to tho cold wave.
May opened at Kiic touched D5JJc, receded
to ffijic: advanced to H3c: weakened to B5c;
rallied and closed firm at 93Jic.
Corn was very dull and almost without
feature, fluctuations being confined to a
range of ft?&a throughout tho session. The
closowasaf tho top figures of the day, an
advance of J;?fc over ycslyerday's last fig
ures. Early in the session the market was
weak on otrpring by receiver and longs,
but during the last hour it firmed up. ,.
Oats continued, dull and featureless, with
a narrow range of values.
Hog products were weak early, owing to
the hcavv receipts of and lower prices of
bogs, but later in the session there was
rather a brisk demand lor shorts, and the
market grew stiong, with an accompanying
adrance.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor
rected bv John M. Oaklev A Co.. 45 SUtb street,
member of the lilcago Hoard of Trade:

WOKK OF THE YEAR.
Review of Local Business Operations
for. the l'ast 12 Months.
GUOD RESULTS ACCOMPLISHED
In the Face of Difficulties in the Way of
Strikes and light Money.
FIGURES ON BUILDING AXD REALTY
The bells will soon ring out the old year.
Its record is practically made up from a
business point of view, and it is in order to
take a general survey of the results. It
started badly. Business went to the wall
inthe latter part of 1890. Honey was tied
np and confidence shaken. Disaster fter
disaster added to the general discourage
ment. Enterprise was stagnant. As time
progressed, however, improvement set in.
Weak concerns were weeded out, confidence
returned and the volume of trade increased.
In he last quarter money became easy and
bank clearings inoreased. They will aggre
gate in round numbers ?fi70,000,000, against
5780,877,401 in 1890, and ?C1!),&32,674 in
1889, being the largest, with the exception
of last year, since the organization of the
Clearing House in 1876.
Operation In Kealty.'
Transactions in real estate, while better
than expected, fell considerably below those
of 1890. The causes for this have been
pointed out sooften that they need only to
be referred to here. Tight money at the
beginning of the year scared investors out
of the field. They held back for a break in
prices 'that never came. Later on, the
carpenters' strike, which touched realty on
every side, added to the depression, and
put the market fllat on its back. By the
time this incubus was remoed it was too
late to recover all the lost ground. The
market commenced to rally at the begin
ning of .November, and became decidedly
active by December, most agents reporting
a better business than in the- same month
last year. The total value of property that
changed ownership during the year
is estimated by good authority at $25)000,
000. Last year il was estimate'd at 40,000,
000. One firm reports a decrease in its sales
of nearly ?2,000.000 for the year, but others
did more. There were fewer largo, trans
actions than in 1890. The principal are
these: Central Hotel, $330,000; Govern
ment property on 1'cnn avenue, 52o0,000;
Knfe Bailev, 575,000; Herst property' to
Boggs & Buhl,S8.l5,000; Messier to Solomon,
595,000; Uimick property, "Wilkinsburg,
7(3,000; Christ Church purchase, Baum
plan, 578,000. The close of the year finds
the market occupying a strong.position,
with good prospects of a. busy time in the
spring.
Tho Bnllding Record.
Building operstions suffered from the
same causes that operated against real es
tate tight money at the beginning of the
year and the strike during the summer.
These caused many building projects to be
abandoned for good and all, or to be de
ferred until a more favorable season. Still,
with all the drawbacks, the result of the
year's operations in this line is quite .re
spectable. Figures at hand, a few estimated,
snow that permits were issued for about
2,500 improvements of all kinds, the bulk
being small and medium-sized dwellings, at
a total estimated cost of 54,770,000 in round
numbers. Districts outside of the citv are
not included in the estimate. The number
for which permits were granted last year
was 3,141, at an estimated value of 57,000,
000. In 1889 3,205 buildings were erected
at a cost of 56,845,622, and in 1888, 2,761,
costing 55,341,19.1. In the last decade the
number of buildings erected in Pittsburg
aggregates 19,331. The outlook for the
coining year is favorable togrcat activity in
this line of development.
Local Stocks and Oil.
The year was not a bad one in speculative
circles. Tight money induced free real
izing during the first half. In the first
quarter holders of "Wcstingbouse Electric
were free sellers. The largest sales of" the
year were on February 7, when 12,615
shares chsngtd hands, of" which 11,259 were
Electric. The successful reorganization of
this company imparted a better tone to the
market, and during the nresent quarter
grading has been fairly active and the tone
nrm, wnn a general recovery in values.
Filial prices, however, with few exceptions,
are materially lower than a year ago.
Total sales for the year approximate
130,000 shares, against about 97,000 last
year. More bonds were sold than last year.
Oil was slow all year, but there his been
some improvement within the last three or
four months. The principal event in this
line was the opening of the JIcDonnld
field, which largely increased the -production.
This has been and is the principal
bear card. As only part of the transactions
passed through the Clearing House, clear
ances cannot be given, but they are not
within speaking distance of last year, when
they footed up 61,400,000. In 1889 they
were 328,000,000. Brokers think the out
loot for the coming year is fairly en
couraging. Tin Situation and Ontlook.
Business results for the past 12 months
are before the people for their verdict. They
oiler much to think about and rejoice over.
The big crops were not only a boon to this
country, but to the Old World as well.
What des the coming year portend? As
things now look, itwjllbe one of prosperity.
The financial situation is strong; capitalists
feel safe and investors are confident. Great
interests are organizing for active onera-
Ltions. There are signs of activity ou every
hand. Work is plentiful and wages fair.
Viewed from any point the outlook is en
couraging. This is the situation as the
curtaiu falls upon 1891.

CLOSING OLD YEAR DEALS.
A DULL BUT FIRM TONE IN TIE
SHARE MARKET YESTERDAY.
The Declaration of a Dividend and the
Selling of Long Stock Depresses New
York Central and Nickel Plate Heavi
ness at the Close.
New York, Dec. 30. The stock market to
day continued to show evidences of a do
sire on the part of many operators to close
out their deals with the end of the year.
While tho list maintained a firm tone during
most of the day, the volume of business
was much smaller, and attacks on special
properties had more effect, while the im
portant advances were all in the lower
priced specialties, which are Just beginning
to attract attention.
Ihe one event of the day which may bo
said to have had its legitimate effect, was
the declaration of the dividend on the New
York Central, and the selling of long stock
had the effect of bringing New York Central
down materially and dragging many of the
others down somewhat. At the same time
none of the other Vanderbilts, except the
Nickel Plate stocks, snoweu any special
weakness.
The general list opened fairly steady but
receded under the early pressure only to
rally in the forenoon, fractional gains being
tho rule over the whose market. These ad
vances were slowly wiped out in the late
trading, and the closing was rather heavy,
with prices generally at significant changes
from the opening figures. Omaha opened
up Y at 48 dropped to 47Ji and rallied to
49-X, but settled away again to4Satthe
close, showing a net loss of for t ue day.
The only material final changes were the 1
each in New York Central and Distillers'.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 275,
220 shares, including: Atchison, 9,020: Chi
cago Gas, 12.616; Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 3.720: Erie, 28,183; Louisville and
Nashville, 5,016; Missouri Pacific, 12,B75i New
York Central, 15,705; Heading. 4.500: North
ern Pacific preferred, 17,000; Richmond and

l and Omaha, 16,205; Union Pacific 17.810;
Union Pacific, Denver anu uuu, iu,iu.: west
ern Union, 4,480.
Railroad bonds were also less animated,
and tho total tiansactions were only $2,510,
000. Of that amount Reading first? contrib
uted $484,000: the seconds, $244,tOO. and St.
Louis Southwestern seconds $159,000. Read

to 5G.

DUSTERS WERE THE RULE.
THE PRODUCTION OF McDONALD IS
DOWN TO 41,000 BARRELS.
Several Wells Die a Sodden Death Tho
Gas Is Evidently Falling Throughout
tho Field The Decline Is General and
Small Wells Are the Result.
There were no big wells completed in the
McDonald oil field yesterday, and the pro
duction dropped from 45,000 to 41.C00 barrels.
The latter figures represent the estimated
production for the 21 hours ending at. 8
o'clock yesterday morning. Later in the
day several wells which have been
stiong producers snddenly stopped
flowing. The Devonian Oil Company's
No. 1, on the Boycc farm, in
Southwest McCurdy affords one of tho most
remarkable instances of the sndden stop
pajce of a well. It has been an extraor
dinarily good well, and until 10 o'clock yes
terday morning was putting out 45 barrels
an hour regularly every CO minutes. The
wells which changed any yesterday showed
a decline. The field is oh tho downward
road, and will never again revive sufficient
ly to gain any of its former prestige.
The Devonian Oil Company's No. 2, on the
Boyce farm, is putting out about 18 barrels
an hour. Hatry, Williams & Co.'s well on
the J. Walker farm back of Oakdale, was re
ported to be in tho fifth sand last night and
showing light. The Lenox well, on the feed
store in Oakdale, is through the Gordon
sand. It was dry in that formation and Is
being drilled to the fifth sand level. The
forest Oil Company's No. 2. on tho McGill
farm, and No. 1 on the J. Sturgeon farm, are
both deep enough in. the fifth sand to show
that they will be light wells.
Another DryFif.h Sander.
The Oadalo OH Company's No. 4, on the
Sturgeon heirs' farm, struck a dust pilo
where the fifth sand ought to he. It will
make a small Gordon-sander. Bartlett &
Co.'s well on the Couch lot, east of Mc
Donald, which was shot Tuesday, has been
cleaned out. mid is making 200 barrels
a day. Guffey. Jennings & Co.'s No. 4
on the Matthews farm is in the top of the
Gordon sand. They have moved the rig at
No. 3 Herron, where they have been fishing
for several months, and plugged the old
hole. 'The Oakdale Oil Company's No. 1
Hutchinson nnd No. 1 Gormlcy have been
shut down between between tho Gordon
and Fifth sands from which each of them
are producing. Mechlin, Shaffer & Co.'
well on tho McKco propertj-west of Oakdale
was seven feet in the fifth sand and mak
ing 200 barrels a day. Koorner, Westhead
& Co.'s Duqtiesne woll near Laurel Hill was
reported to he showing light in the Gordon.
They have started to pump their Wellington
well, located just east of McDonald, and
they intend to put a shot in their Alvin
well, locate'l near the mouth of the Nickel
Plate mine. The Devonian Oil Company's
No. 3 Elliott is duo next week. The same
company is drilling Nos. 4 and 5 on the
Elliott aniLis starting No. 3 on the Boyce
and No. 1 on the Jog Robb farm.
The Martin's Ferry Oil Company is down
1,600 feet on the Mrs. Carr lot, in the Eastern
part of McDonal borongh. D. Lutz & Sou
are drilling at 300 feet on a Jotnear the
Niekle Plate mine.
There was no change yesterday in the
Reed furm well. One 01 the owners said last
evening that they got the filth sand at a
depth of 2,460 leet, and that there were 21
feet of this formation. The Northtield Oil
Company's No. 1 Sattters is through the Gor
don and liglit.
Work Around Independence.
Independence After fishing 21 days, Mel
lon, Wilson & Co. have eventually succeeded
in getting tho tools out of their well on the
stone quarry farm, and have again com
menced to drill. The well is 550 feet deep.
Davis & Co.'s Xo. 1, on the McConnell larm,
is down 900 feet and drilling in a hard rock.
Carr Bros, are in tho Big Injun on the Beall
farm. They expect to finish up In a couple
of weeks, and are confident ot getting a well.
The rig on tiie Beall Knob will be com
pleted in a few days, when drilling will be
commenced. AVhitnol & Gray have leased a
large block of territory "8 mile due cast of
this place, and will put down a well as fast
as possiuie.
J. K. Leonard, the well-known operator,
receivod a telegram last evening from
Archer's Forks, informing Mm thai W. M.
Downing, foreman of the Victor Oil Com
pany, had been killed by an explosion.
The telegram did not state whether
it was a boiler or a glycerine explosion.
The news was forwarded to J. D. Downing,
President of the Eldred, McKean county,
bank, a relative of the deceased, who will
tuko charge of the remains. N.M. Down
ing was about 38 years or age, unmarried
and had gon6 to Archer's Forks a few
months ago from McKean county.

Country Produce Jobbing prices
Receipts in this line are light, but demand
corresponds, and trade is reported, slow.
Receipts of poultry arc small as compared
with a week ago, but notwithstanding
small receipts, tho movement is far from
active. The weather of late has Dot been
helpful to trade. Pairy products of choice
grade are barely steady, and common grades
are exceedingly dull, with prices nominal.
Country butter has been a drug on the mar
ket for'weeks past, and only fancy stock is
in demand. The average consumer prefers
oleo to butter that is not first quality. Eggs
are in better supply than for some time
past, and markets are weak at the reduction
already noted. The article most longed for
bv nrodnce commission merchants is a spell
of sharp, frosty weather, with the mercury
descending 10 inc zero line.

Groceries.
Package coffee has again been redueeVl c
per pound, the second reduction within a
wesk. Strange to say, green coffee has only
declined Jc per pound in the same time that
roasted has fallen 1c per pound. It looks as
though loading roasters are bearing markets
on green coffee, with a view to securing sup
plies at low rates. Sugars are firm, with a
lair prospect of an advance. Choice grades
of Now Orleans molasses are also very firm.
The movement of groceries is only fair and
likely to bo no better this year.

A DYSPEPTIC'S ARGUMENT

argument with him. The best way to get'
him to tr' a medicine would be to advise
against it line notice how different bis tone
after using Burdick Blood Bitters.
"I have suffered with dyspepsia for the last two
fears. Not long ago I commenced taking B. B. B.
am now on the second bottle ami I feel like a new
man. G. KN'OX.

Bepented tests with uniform 9nccess prove
the act that Burdock Blood Bitters will
cure dyspepsia. The reason is plain; it tones
the stomach to natural action and keeps the
sluice ways of tho system free from clogging
impurities.

disease for nine years and found no relief until I
tried Burdock Hlood Bitters. Now I am well after
taking two bottles. MKS. ETTIE FUAZIER.
