rrrrSBCTio, JIoxday, January 11. I
At the East Liberty stock yards there
were about 9o carloads of cattle on sale this
morning, an increase of 15 loads over the
offerings of last jronday, and of 30 loads
over the previous Monday. 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.
Top price of veal calves was GJc per lb.
Sheep There were 2fi carloads on the mar
ket asainst 21 loads a week ago. Markets
were steady at last week's prices for choice
.stock. Some extra sheep were sold at 55 75
per cwt. and fancy lambs at 6)3'c per lb.
Common grades were weak at a shade lower
prices than were obtained last Monday.
Hogs Receipts, over 5!) car loads, arainst
35 last Mouday. Market steady at prices of
a week ajo, with ?4 50 as top price of Phila
delphias. Alle-heny Stock Tards.
At the Ilerr's Island yards, receipts of
cattle were larger than nsiial and offerings
were scarcely up to usual standard as to
quality. There were no good heavy or
medium weights on sale. Common to "fair
medium and light weights were quoted at
?5 00 to $5 50. Other grades ranged from
$3 CO to 4 50. Fresh cows erc quoted at
Sl'5 00 to f45 00 ver head, and veal calves
at 5c to 7c per lb. Bulls and dry cows

WHEAT FLOPS AGAIN.
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.

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 FINANCIAL TEEND.
Indications of a Prolonged Teriod or Mone
tary Ease at Home.
A fair call for loans and discounts, good
checking and depositing were the features
of the local money market yesterday, ffhu
influences were favorable for a good week.
Funds were easy at 6 per cent as the ruling
rate. Bankclenrings were $2,590 519 90 and
balances $460,567 83.
The Rltuaiiou outside is thus summarized:
Easy at Boston, plentiful nt Philadelphia, in
excess of the demand at Chicajro, easier at
Oni'iha, but In good demand with banks be
coming more conservative nt New Orleans.
Time loans are 4J to 6 per cent In the East, 6
to 7 per cent generally at interior centers

South.
The jRnoncioJ Chnnicle calculates that in

which would make the year's not loss of
gold fiom the United States $15,250,003. The
prospect is favorable to prolonged monetaiy
ease.

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. Lnuisville nnd Nashville
unified 4s lost i at 79;, and Ohio Southern
4s 2 at 62.

Fancy grades of creamery butter are un

are firm enoujrh to go up as they did last

Country butter is hard, to sell at any price.
Quality of offerings in this line the past
week, is generally poor. Cheese is firm,
and in the faith that prices are down to
bottom jobbers are laying in large supplies.
