More than one half of the cattle offered to-day were from Chicago. There were not as many pood beeves on rale this week as last, and no primes. Prime cattle have ceased to be a quantity in our local yards. All of this grade are taken at Chicago and other "Western points at better prices than our butchers can af ford to pay. Buyers were not so numerous at Liberty as usual, and as cattle were in large supply, and average qualitv low, they made the most of their opportunity inbear iwj markets. Markets opened slow at a decline from last week's prices of 10 to 15c per cwt. Last Monday there were sales above 5c per lb. and to-day there were no sales above f 4 73 in carloadlots as far as could be learned. The supply of fresh coirs and veal calves was light, and last week's range was maintained. There were very few sood freh cows offered, and ?45 00 was the high est price paid.

Oats and Hog Products Follow-lts Lead to Lower Trices Heavy Protective Snows the Weakening Feature Corn Slightly Better as a Itnlc. cniCAGO Wheat took another tnmblo In price to day, closing Kc Per cent lwer than It left off -Saturday. The chief factor in the deprcsion was the snowfall, which was reported as covering practically the entire, winter wheat belt and which dis sipated the growing fears for the effect of cold weather on the plant. Most othcrnews was also 'bearish. Cables were lower. Domestic markets were all weak, and re ceipts In the Northwest were comparatively liberal. The selling oiders wore quite plenty, but as shoits showed a rather gen eral disposition to cover on the break in the markets the offerings were very rapidly absorbed and the break was not very ser ious for a considerable time after the open ing. The price of May at the start was from 92 to n-JVfc in different parts of tho room, but snttle'd around the lower ot thce quotations. There were sales in the course of the first rew minutes a low as 91!e. but to a very limited extent, although sellers at 92;e were numerous on several occasions durinc tlie first hour and a half of the session. There was no tendency to improvement until alter the dispatch had been received reporting that Kiwia had prohibited exports of wheat from Finland. Following the latter inti mation tlie coverinc of shorts put tho price nptoWie. Tho price of May then receded to a still lower level than bad previously been reached. It continued to go off in price till it touched Dlc near the close, and closed steady at 91Kc m , ., Theie was a tair amount of speculative business in corn and prices were started. In the cash matket, however, there was con siderable weakness and a decline ot lc in the price of thionirh-utlled. There was a crod demand for export reported from ew York. The close was at meumm uguiei, nun a shade better than S.ituiilav's lor nearby opiions, but a little lower for May. Tho trade in o its was light, nnd the mar ket did little moro than sympathize with wheat. May continues to monopolize the attention to" the almost total exclusion of even-thing else. The market snows u loss of c in the value of that future. Hog products quiet and easier. Prices were SgiOc lower. The weakness in wheat was felt sympathetically. There was some reaction "from the. lowest point, nnd the changes at tho close, compared with prices on Saturday, are not marked. The IraiiiPK futures raiiFC'l a3 follows, as cor rcctpii bv John M.

A GOOD BEGINNING. Business Starts Ont With the Promise of an Active Week. A DEAL ON SMITHF1ELD STREET. Wood Etreet fale HifjheBt on That Thor oughfare bnt One. ' WILKINSBURG WILL LEAE WATCHING An important transaction in "Wood street property was reported in this column on Sunday. With one exception, that of tho Tradesmen's National Bank, the price, 53,100 per foot frontage, was the best yet- realized on that thoroughfare. Yesterday almost as large a deal was consummated on Smithfield street. Black & " Baird sold a property near Virgin alley to a well-known "Wood street business man" for ?GO,000. The lot is 24xG0, making the foot frontage 52, 500, about equal to the lost previously re ported sale in that locality. An accurate description of this property is withheld until the deed shall have passed. A Place Worth Watching. Beal estate investors should keep an eye on Wilkinsburg and the district of which it is the center. Its growth in the last few years has been remarkable and enhancement in land valnes not less so. A property on AVood street went a-begging ten years ago at about $10 per frontage foot. It "was sold a short time ago at the rate of 52,r)0 a foot. James "Weldon last week sold to C. W. Strickler 50 feet on South street, below the railroad, for 53,000. Mr. Weldon paid 51,500: for 100 feet a few years ago. He has thus doubled "his money and has 40 feetand a comfortable house besides. Mr. Strickler will begin the erection of a handsome resi dence in the spring. Bnilding will be very active out there this year. A Pointer for Investors. Here is a short but true story of a specu lative misfit, which should be "treasured by local capitalists disposed to place money abroad. It is from the Bellaire ImTepmdcnl: "Less than a vear aeo a resident of this .place sold his property here and invested the proceeds in real estate in Elwood, Ind., the then great boom town of Hoosierdom. A month ago he sold his property there nt a decline of ?4,000 from the price paid, and returned to his first love to find em ployment to support himself and his fam ily." All is .not gold that glitters in the sunshine of promise. The moral to this is. when you are prospering in a good solid town don't go chasing after air castles." Xo judicious investment in Pittsburg realty has ever been known to turn ont other than profitable. If there are in stances to the" contrary they are not known. A Week's Corporation Record.

Cl A RELAPSE IN STOCKS WIPES OCT THE MOST OF THE PROM ISING EARLY GAINS. Reading Very Active on Free Realizations by Quaker City People Distillers' the "Weakest Point Advances of New Eng land and Chicago Gas Neutralized. New Yomr, Jan. 11. The stock market to day was still rather reactionary in'its tem per, bnt the weakness noted was more the effect of free realizations in Reading than any desire to liquidate, in the general list, nnd .except in a few instances, the final changes were insignificant. The market throughout the day was inclined to settle down to comparative quietness, and only the bciivy trading in Reading brought tho. total transactions up to the high figure they stand at for the day, and the stubbornness with which quotations held their level, yielding only hero and there and at inter vals to pressure, was very reassuring to holders of stocks. The West took the Grangers, and the declaration of the dividends on the first and second incomes of the Reading at first stim ulated considerable buying, but the flood of securities poured ont by the Philadelphia people Anally broke the strength of the gen oral list, and nlmost everything was finally Jirourht dow n below the "level of the open ing figures. New England was still a lead ing fentnro or tho market, ana especially In Hie early dealings displayed marked Htrcngtn, as did also Chicago Gas, but the Inter slump carried both of these properties back, wiping out most of their gains. Union Pacific was the leading strong stock at one time, Dut its' advance was not suf ficient to carry it ngainst the late selling movement. The weakest point in the mar ket wns Distillers', Tthlch steadily declined tluoughout the entire day and finally closed with tne heaviest Joss.recorded for tho day. The opening wasgenorally nt insignificant changes from Saturday's prices and consid erable activity marked the early dealings, with soma improvement in prices, thongh only S'cw Knglands displayed any marked stiength. The pressure became too much for the decreasing demand. Prices yielded before noon without making any important loss outside of Distillers'. The Richmond and West Point stocks were strong, how ever, but moved in nanow limits, aud among the specialties only Pullman scored a material gain. The whole market rallied after the announcement of tho dividends on Reading, but later the selling for Philadel phia account wiped out the advances and tho list never regained its strength during the day. The close was active and weak generally at small fractions below Satur day's prices, but the only material losses were 2J in Distillers' and 1 per cent in Read ing, while Chicago Gas scored a final train of 1 per cent. The total sales of stocks to-day were 518, 228 shares, including: Atchison, 31,150: Chi cago Gas, 19.9S5: Delaware, Lackan anna and Western, 9.700: Eric, 14,794; Louisville and Nashville. 19,765; Northwestern. 3,258: North ern Pacific preferred. 9.821: New England. 40,700; Reading, lb9,650; Richmond and West Point, 18.4C0; St. Paul, 28.450: Union Pacific, 17.703; Western Union, 4,840. Railroad bonds displayed the same temper as stocks, and while retaining a great deal of tbeir strength, fniled to move outside the narrowest limits, and the late selling of the Reading incomes weakened the general list to an appreciable extent. The transactions reached $3 032,000, but ot this amount 551,0CO wero Reading seconds and 352,000 Reading firsts: 179 0C0 Reading thirds, and 237,000 Atchison incomes.
