. been about 00 loads against 00 loads for
the corresponding period of last week.
"Markets opened blow- on Monday morning
with 54 i"i as top price of Philadelphias.
Later on there was an improvement and
sales were made at 54 75. Tops would have
brought 54 SO on Tuesday, if there had been
auy on sale. This morning there were only
a half-dozen loads ou sale and markets Were
strong. Sheep "Receipts about the tame
this week as last, the total being t5 car

lower. Good stock held up close to last
week's prices, but common and low grades
were 10c fit 15c lower. Top price of sheep

A Livestock Finn's Review.
Following is report of week transactions
and prices by William Holmes & Co.:
We report 95 loads of cattle on sale Mon
day, made up or 40 loads from Chicago and
the balance were principally from Ohio and
Indiana, which were in the main common
to medium grades and below the late gen
eral averase in quality. There were hut
few irood to prime steers offered and but lit
tle demand or inquiry tor anything above
good butcher cattle. One load 'of prime
L550 steers sold for 5c, which was about 20c
less than such would have sold for auy time
this season. In fact, all grades were ex
tremely slow sale at 15c to 25c per cwt. lower
than any time this winter, and unless there
is quite an improved demand soon and
lighter receipts on all of oar public markets
we cannot look for any substantial improve
ment in prices this winter. The companies
which handle dresed meats appear to be
paining strength all over the country. Wo
quote prime to extra beeves at 4Jc to 5c;
good medium, 4Jc to 4c: fair to good. 3jj0
to 4c: common, 3c to 3Co: bulls and cows, 2c
to 3J-Xc; stockers, 2c to 2c; Iresh cows and
springers, $20 to S40 per head.
ReceiDts of Iiors were liberal on Monday
and a dull opening, but as the demand was
quite equal to the supply, the market closed
firm at 5s to 10c advance from the opening
prices. Since Monday receipts have been
lishtand prices steady at 10c higher than
Monday's close We quote select tops at $4 75
(J4 So: cood mixed, $4 704 75: sood Yorkers,
S4 tBQl 70; piss and light lTorkers, $4 404 00;

than las' week: closing Arm at Monilav's de

RATHER A DULL DAY.
A Dearth of "War News Makes an Uninter
esting Grain Market Bull. Tnrn Bears
for a Time, bnt Final Df cllnes Are Net
Very Heavy.
CHICAGO Wheat wavlnll anli eak at
the start this morning. There was no fresh
war news to stimulate it and cables
were rather easy, with domestic mai
kets tending downward. Speculation was
dull, with the offerings generous, and'tho
tonoof trade was for a time unmistakably
bearish. A good many bulls of yesterday,
who had carried property over, notwith
standing yesterdav's weakness, seemed to
feel they had made a mistake, and sold
freely to-day. The report of Secretary
Mohler, of the Kansas Board of Agi ieulture,
estimating la t year's ciop at 5,000000 bush
el more than was estimated by the Govern
ment Statistician, and putting tne acreage
for next vcarat airincrease of 2-1 percent,
helped afong the depression, as did private
cables quoting pi ices lower.
Mnv opened unchanged at OlJc, and
gradiiallv.soldoffto913Jc: but at this point
the news became more encouraging, and the
maiikct turned. Minneapolis reported more
export buving there, with 50 OOO-bushcls al
ready taken. Secretary -Mohler, in an
answer to a private dispatch, denied the
statements attribntea to him. Finally came
Jlradstrect's rcnort showing a decrease on
both crasts for the last week of over 3,000,009
bushels and private cables also became
more favorable. For a time there was quite
a scramble to get back the wbeit ddmped
early, and May rose easily to 92c A large
amount of long wheat came out on the
break which followed, May going down to
t0Jc, and the close was easy at 91c.
Corn was quiet to-day, but was rather firm
during the lorenoon on good buying by one
or tw o prominent houses and some covering
bvshoits. Mavoponed unchanged at 40c:
advanced to 40c; weakened some in the
afternoon, and closed steady at 40Vfic
Oats were firm on good covei ing by shorts
and better outside demand. Offerings were
light. The close shows prices unchsnged.
Hog products were easier on the larger re
ceipts of hogs than expected and lower
prices at the yards. There were some weak
rallies during the session, but the general
tendenev was downward, and the close was
at or near the bottom. Pork shows a loss of
30332c: l.nrd, 3Q7Ke, and ribs 1015c

Important Leases of Business Prop
erty, One in Allegheny.
ANOTHER. MOVEMENT IN ACREAGE.
Northsiders Aroused to the Importance of
Terrysville Aveiiile.
PBOSPECTIVE EXODDS TO THE EAST END
Two important business leases were con
summated yesterday by the Blacc & Baird
agency. One was for Mrs. A. E. Schmertz
to A. Bertonia of the entire building Nos.
113 and llo Smithfield street, for three years,
at an annual rental of 53,000. This is an
advance of about $1,000 over the former
rate. The other lease was to E. 3Ioyle &
Co. of the four-story building No. 163 La-
cock street, Allegheny, lor 51,700 a year. A
short time ago a gentleman leased a build
ing on an avenue near the postoffice. Yes
terday he was offered a bonus of $1,000 for
the property by a new firm wanting to start
business iu'tha't locality.
A Movement at Sharpsburg.
A land and improvement company, com-
Sosed of local capitalists, has been formed
y Sloane & Co. to purchase and buiid up a
tract of land just above Sharpsburg. con
sisting of about 75 acres, but negotiations
are making slow progress on account of the
exalted views of the owner. A little con
cession ou his part, it is believed, would re
sult in a deal at once. As a sample of
values in that locality, another tract, not
quite so large, about 20 minutes' walk
lroni the railroad, is held close to fSOO an
acre. Should negotiations ultimately fall
through the company will turn its atten
tion to some other quarter.
A Change ot Base.
Several prominent Allegheny City fami
lies have about made up their minds to pull
np stakes and colonize in what is known as
the Squirrel Hill district, Twenty-second
ward. The matter has been kept very quiet,
but it leaked out yesterday somehow.
Their names are known, but are withheld
for the present. This information confirms
an intimation to the same effect in this
column, a few weeks ago. Having practi
cally unlimited means it is needless to say
that any improvements they may make will
be equal to the best architectural achieve
ments in the entire East End. One reason
assigned for this contemplated exodus is
that the return to coal by many of the mills'
and private families is rendering their quar
ter of the Northjide unpleasant for residence
purposes.
Kip Tan Wlnkle' Wake-Up.
The people of the Northside beyond Ob
servatory Hill are awakening to the fact
that in the matter of roads affording travel
ing facilities, and the consequent apprecia
tion of values, they have been practically
asleep for years. The fine territory reached
by the Perrysville road would afford beau
tiful sites fof nice residences were there
good roads upon which to travel. Some
hope of relief is felt to be at hand, as the
City Engineer is endeavoring to establish a
grade acceptable to a majority of the prop
erty holders. From the natural lay of the
ground it is impossible to please eyeryhody.
One side of the avenue being high and the
other lojv, there must be a compromise in
order to have any improvement at all. So
long as the present condition of this avenue
exists there can be no permanent advance
ment. Upon the success of the present
movement depends the development of the
virgin territory of the hill district. Had
this been done years ago the East End
would not have got ahead of Allegheny as
it has done. This is really a matter of pub
lic concern, and the citizens generally
should take a deep interest in all that per
tains to the improvement of this great sub
urban artery. i

SHARES STRONG IN SPOTS.
INSURANCE COMPANIES SAID TO BE
BDTING LACKAWANNA.
Louisville and Nashville the Only Weak
Point Grangers to the Front In the
Afternoon Industrials Strong and Quiet
All Day Bonds Unchanged.
Nkw Yoiik, Jan. 27. The stock market
again showed considerable strength In spots.
An Increased volnmo of business was trans
acted, but the final changes are, with but
few exceptions, of no special significance,
and prices are about where they were last
night. That there still "exists a large de
mand for stocks is without doubt, and while
the real traders are fighting the improve
ment stocks are passing into strong hands.
ASthe supply of stocks diminishes the In
stitutions and individuals who are large
lenders of money are the most active buyers
of ecurities.
The story that two large insurance com
panies have been large buyers of Lacka
wanna obtained much credence on the street
to-day, nnd the demand from smaller in
vestors was again sufficient to cause a rise
in the stock, butrit was afterward offered
heavily by a prominent tradpr, and the re
sultant decline was accompanied by rumors
of a settlement with tho shorts. Manhattan
continued its upward movement, taiily
rivaling Lackawanna in the forenoon, and
was followed later by Western Union.
Tho weak point in tho list was Louisville
and Nashville, which reflected the earlv
selling for foreign account, and it' was the
only stock which finally showed a material
loss for the day. Reading was again heavily
traded in, and followed Lackawanna at a
distance both up and down, and, like the
latter, closed unchanged from last night.
In the afternoon new buying of a pro
nounced character appeared in the Grangers
and Burlington took the lead in the upward
movement for a time, and It retained the
greater part of the gain at the close. The
buying was largely for Boston houses.
Among the low-priced shares Louisville,
New Albany and Chicago was again very
conspicuous for its activity and strength,
but it stood alone in this respect, the others
being qniet and traded in within the nar
rowest limits. The Industrials were strong
but quiet throughout. A decline or 2Ji pet
cent in Richmond and West Point preferred
attracted attention, but a portion of it was
regained and the stock, while lower, showed
only a fractional loss.
The market opened with heavy pressure
from the foreigners, and prices were all
lower, Louisville and Nashville being "down
per cent, but the demand developed in
the leading shares brought the general list
up without causing any marked movements
outside of the few stocksmentioned, and this
strength, with nnfrequent fluctuations in
temper, lasted until well in the afternopn,
when the early gains were generally wiped
completely out. Realizing was liberal, out
tncre were tne saiuu iiiaxguiiiuaui. uuuiua
tions throughout the list.
The market finally closed active and firm
on a rally which brought Lackawanna np 1
per cent after.it Jia.d sold, at 145. The final
gains of note comprise only Manhattan,
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago, 1;
Burlington, 1 per cent. Louisville and Nash
ville lost IK-
The total sales of stocks to-day were 441,
917 shares, Including: Atchison, 9.S20; Chi
cago Gas, 16.075; Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western, 84,080: Erie, 11,210; Louisville and

Union Pacific, 16,743; Western Union, 16,760.
In railroad bonds none of the active issues
scored any material change, nnd the fluctua
tions were strictly on a parity with those in
the share list. The tone was firm through
out, however, and most bonds are slightly
higher than at the last previous salfes.

Country Pboduce Jobbing Prices
The cold weather of the past few days has
had the effect ot stiffening prices of eggs.
Strictly fresh eggs are now 2c per dozen
above prices which prevailed at the begin
ning of the week, and prospects are good
for still further advances if the cold weather
continues. The rise in Elgin creamery but
ter which took place at Elgin on Monday is
fully justified by events. Supply of fancy
stock in this market is light, and demand is
active at the advance. Country rolls are in
better request, and prices are a shade bet
ter. Poultry is in active demand, particu
larly dressed chickens, the supply being
short of late. There is a better inquiry for
potatoes and onions, but prices fail to ad
vance. Other vegetables and fruits ot all
kinds are quiet.-
