- Markets opened this morning at the Bast
Liberty yards -with 80 carloads of cattle on
tale against 70 loads last Monday and 95
loads the previous Monday. About one
half of to-day's offerings were from Chicago
and the other half mainly from Ohio and
Indiana. The average quality of offerings
was higher than it has been for several
weeks past Buyers were present in rather
small force, and -with. unlavorable weather
and the increased run, the situation was in
their favor from the start
Markets opened very draggy at a decline
of 10c to 15c per cwt. on all common and
low grade beeves, and at noon It looked as
.though even larger concessions would be
necessary in order to unload inferior stock.
A lead of prime Southern Ohio beeves
averaging 1,551 lbs was sold at $5 10, the
highest price reached at the Liberty yards
.this year. Hut none of this prime qttality
has been on sale this year. In a general
way the top of markets this morning was
$4 65. Light, smooth butcher beeves,
weighing 1,100 to 1,200 lbs, held up iairly
well to last week's prices.

7c per pound being the top ot the market
The run of sheep and lambs was much
larger to-day than a week ago, and markets
opened slow at a shade lower prices. There
weie about 27 carloads on sale at the open
ing, against 20 loads last Monday. Last
week prices were advanced almost 15c per
cwt. over the price of previous week. This
moraine the most of this advance was lost
Tup price of sheep is $5 85 and of lambs
f6 75 per cwt
There were 23 loads of hogs on sale when
the markets opened, with a few more loads
on the way which were expected later on in
the day. Markets opened slow, with ?5 20
as topprice of Philadelphias. The weak
ness of markets became more pronuounced
Jater on, and at noon the outside price was
?5 15. At Chicago, top price this morning

A MID-DAY SPDRT IN WHEAT,
Otherwise It Bules Weak nd 'Dull The
Close Is the Worst, With Poor Prospects
Ahead Corn Inclined to Strength, hat
Influenced by Wheat.
CHICAGO Wheat opened dull, but at an
advance of c above the closing figures of
Saturday, although the market was inclined
to weakness for a time. The higher opening
was attributed chiefly to the cold wave in
the Northwest. There were reports of cold
and snowy weather in parts of the North
west. Early cables were low. There was
free selling for a time, with a sagging mar
ket, which carried prices down to Satur
day's last figures; but the decline left a, good
profit lor some of the recent short sellers,
and there was a pretty general impulse to
cover, under which there was some restora
tion of confidence, and prices gradually
went up lc from the low point. Good buy
ing orders for New York account appeared
in the advance, bnt perhaps the strongest
ractor was tlie unexpected result in me vis
ible supply statement, which scored: a de
crease. Later private cables were also more assur
ing, and domestic markets also turned
stronger. Arter the noon hour the market
became very weak on free sales by New
York, and oil the down turn local holders
also got discouraged and sold freely. May
went off with some excitement and sold
down with some reactions lo from the
highest point, Mav opened at a0Je against
90$ic at the close on Saturday: toncned SOJfc,
sold off to 90c rallied to 91Ve. broke to
89c and closcu weak at 89c. Late cables
and domestic market reports were nearly
all. weak.
Corn was inclined to be strong on the poor
grading of icceiptsand the wet weather,
which tends to continue that condition.
There was a good demand from shorts to
cover, but the offerings were only moderate.
The firmer tone in wheat in the middle or
the session also helped corn, but later, when
wheat broke, corn was sympathetically af
fected, ilay opened Ko up at 42c. toucned
42c. advanced to42c weakened and closed
at 425-Jc.
Oats quiet but rather firm. There was
less selling pressure and a good demand to
cover shorts, but the market weakened with
other grains near tho close and closed a
under Saturday's last figures.
Hog products were stronger with a fair
local demand. Prices of the product were
affected sympathetically by the fluctuations
in grains, but the close snowed advances,
particularly in pork, which is up 12c.

TRADE OF THE CITY.
Sale ol the U. P. Synod Property Con
firmed by. the Court.
WILKINSBURG TO HAVE. A BANK.
Over One Hundred Millions Invested In New
Business Enterprises.
INCREASE 15 RAILROAD EARNISG8
Business in "Wilkinsburg has assumed
such large proportions that local banking
facilities have become a necessity. There
are upward of 100 stores, besides several
planing mills,lumber yards, an electric light
plant and two flouring mills, also some
smaller industries. It is inconvenient and
expensive to transact this business through
Pittsburg banks. The need of a bank hav
ing, therefore, become imperative, steps
have been taken to establish one under the
national banking laws. The prime movers
are Messrs. Duff and Langfitt, both well-
known members of the Pittsburg bar. Over
100 shares of the stock have been taken, and
it is expected the remainder will be placed
in a short time The bank will be located
on Penn avenue or "Wood street, probably
the latter.
Approved by the Court.
The sale of the Speers property, on Lib
erty street, to a well-known commission
merchant, and noted at the time, has been
confirmed by the Orphans Court, Accord
ing to the'will of Mr. Speers, the property,
which consisted mostly of three houses and
lots in this city, was to "be supported in
good order and condition ior the term of 50
'years," its annual proceeds to be applied to
tne spread ot the gospel here ana else
where," at the end of which time it was to
be sold and the proceeds "appropriated to
the above purposes in such way and manner
as the United Presbyterian Synod, at a reg
ular meeting thereof, or a General Assem
bly, if such should then exist, shall direct"
The 50 years expired July 21, 1891, and the
executors have carried out the provisions ot
the v.ill.so far'as this duty devolved anthem.
The proceeds arising from the sale of the
estate amounted to "$141,884 94, made up of
144,009 94 in cash, and $97,875 in bond and
mortgage. This estate furnishes an illustra
tion of the increase in value of real estate
in these cities. When the collateral inher
itance tax was -paid, at the beginning of the
50 years, the estate was valued at only
S9.000.

Clearing Bouse Statement for tbe Month,
'With Some Comparisons.
There -was no perceptible change in the
money market yesterday, the demand being
moderate and supply abundant. It is worthy
of note that time money lenders in New
York are holding off in many cases, expect
ing higher rates. There is a similar dlsposl-
tlon here, but call money is offered freely.
The statement of business of the Clearing
Honse for the day and month, as prepared
by Manager Chaplin, is as follows:
Yesterday's exchanges $ 2,441,163 36
Yesterday's balances 500,611 97
Month's exchanges 55.819.P41 26
Month's balances f 10,099,891 31
Exchanges month 1891 49.469,793 02
Exchanges month 1890 55,645,67703
It will thus be seen that the month, which
ended yesterday stands higher in a business
point ot- view than in either of .the other
years indicated. With this fact in mind, and
considering that the spring trade has not
vet set in, it would seem difficult to pick
muob of a flaw in the situation. Trade is
broadening. This is so generally admitted
that denials are regarded as bear cards to
affect speculation.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at 12 per cent, last loan 2, closed
offered at 2. Prime mercantile paper, 45
per cent. Sterling exchange qnite and
steady at $4 85 for 60-day bills and $4 87 for
demand.

A LIVELY FUSILLADE.
Activity and Strength Displayed All Along
the Line Nearly All of the Specialties
Favorably Affected Some Handsome
Gains and No Material Losses.
Tho local speculative pulse beat high
again yesterday. Trading was heavy at each
of the three calls. Activity and strength
characterized nearly all the specialties.
"Philadelphia Gas surprised even its
friends. It sold up to 17 against 16 on
Saturday, and closed steady at 17Jf bid. The
buying was presumably on Eastern account.
Birmingham Traction was another strong
feature. It sold up to 25, and the demand
was unsatisfied at the close. There was no
special change in tne rest of this group, but
they were Arm to strong. An interesting
incident ot the day was the sale of a big
block of New York and Cleveland Gas Coal at
50,the highest quotation since the dividend
a month or so ago. Electric advanced a
point. Switch and Signal was also higher,
though closing a fraction under the top
price. Brokers think it will reach a higher
point after the coming meeting.

COALERS BOOMING AGAIN.
DELATVAKE AND HUDSON NOW
CENTER OF INTEREST.
THE
Several Phenomenal Advances, In Which
Lackawanna, Jersey Central and Read
ing Participate Distillers' Still on the
Down Grade Gold Exports Check the
General Bnoyancv.
New York, Feb. 29. The stock market
opened to-day the new week with a renewal
of the excitement over the coal stocks, and
great activity in those shares was again ac
companied by phenomenal movements in
their prices, which were all In the upward
dliectlon. The rest of the market sym
pathized to a limited extentbut NewEngland
and New York Central were the only ones
to score any material improvement from the
rise.
Delaware and Hudson was the center of
interest this time. At the best price it was
up over 7 per centunnd Lackawanna nearly
as much, while Jersey Central rose over 4,
and Reading was put to above 60. There was
only one weak point in the list, and that was
Distillers', which continued to decline
slowly but steadily, while tbe other In
dustrials were firm, though quiet. The ex
citement in the market gradually died away,
though there was comparatively large trad
ing in the late dealings on the evening up of
contracts during the day and the liquida
tion of long accounts by the taking of profits
on the advance.
The opening was strong and. active. Un
usually heavy buying by London houses
created a bullish feeling, which was quickly
reflected in purchases tor the long account
and material advances. The interest in the
coal stocks, however, soon overshadowed
the rest of the market, and the heavy ad
vances in those shares completely dwarfed
the movemonts in the others. These im
provements in values, however, was checked
temporarily by the announcement of the
taking of gold tor export, but the check was
of short duration, and the advance was soon
resumed. Realizations also held the list
down in the last hour, but the market closed
firm and hopeful at or near the best prices
of the day.
The final gains include Delaware and Hud
son, 5; Lackawanna, 5; Jersey Central,
3; New York Central, 2; bugar, 1; Cordage,
li; New England, 1, and Union Pacific and
Canadian Southern, 1 per cent each.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 615,
79S shares, including Atchison, 10,680; Chi
cago Gas, 6,805; Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western. 65,370; Delaware and Hudson, 39,394;
Erie, 31,640; Lake Shore, 5,845: Louisville and
Nashville, 6,500: Northwestern, 3,900; New
Jersev Central, 6,980; New York Central. 14,

New England, 43,590; Reading, 166,418; Rich
mond and West Point, 9,250; St Paul, 33,061;
Union Pacific, 10,654; Western Union, 4,400.
The interest in the bond list was not so
marked, to-day, although the activity in the
Beading issues again ran the total up to
$2,910,000; but with the exception of a rise of
3 per bent in Kansas City and Omaha firsts,
there was no marked movement in the en
tire list.' A firm temper prevailed, however,
and advances are more numerons than losses
to-night.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices
Eeceipts of eggs by the Ohio river were not
nearly so large this morning as expected,
and as a result markets are firm at closing
prices of last week and 3c per dozen above
last Monday's rates. This proved to be- a
blue Monday in general produce lines.
Monday is uniformly an off day, and snowy,
slushy weather intensified the blueness to
day. Poultry is reported scarce, but demand
is light, and there is no marked change in
prices. New maple syrup is to the front in
fair quantity and sells readily at $1 per gal
lon. The size of the crop in this line will
depend very much on the weather ot the
next week or two. Vegetables of all kinds
are qnietat unchanged prices. Choice dairy
products are reported active and firm.

TRIPE WILL GO UP.
A New and Fancy Leather Discovered Tt
Is Hade From the Stomachs of Ani
mals A Unique Material That Adds to
the Beauty of Fancy Articles.
New York, Feb. 29. Special. James
W. Deckert, a Uewarker,. has discovered a
new kind of fancy leather. It is obtained
by tanning the stomachs of animals, the
same material from which tripe is prepared.
Trice is not tripe until it is prepared tor
food. "What it should be called when con
sidered as material for leather is an open
question. It makes handsome leather for
porketbooks, bags and fancy articles, and
carf be dyed in any color. (3nly the inner
membrane is used. The heavy integument is
split off, leaving a moderately thin and
coarse-fibered leather a3 soft as chamois.
There is a great variety of grain and pat
tern in the same piece of leather, and much
of it is too plain to admit of using in large
articles with the best effect, but excellent
results can be obtained by matching opposite
spots ot the skin, if skin it can be called.
The part known as the honeycomb makes a
particularly rich appearance when dyed and
polished. It is much more effective than
alligator or lizard skin, and much softer and
more easily worked into irregular forms.
Another part has the appearance of being
covered with jet beads when dyed black and
polished.
Any part of the material will keep peo
ple guessing what it is made from, and that
is a part ot the pleasure of owning any
novelty. The inventor, or discover, of this
new leather says that he can get from 12 to
15 feet from an animal.
A Coming Catastrophe
Is to be apprehended when the kidneys and
oladder even partially cease operations.
Rouse them with Bostetter's Stomach Blt
tei s, which Impels them to activity without
unduly exciting them. Kidney disease is
obstinate and destructive. Ward off the
coming catastrophe with the Bitters, highly
effective for rheumatism, dyspepsia, consti
pation, malaria and la grippe. Sovereign ia
all.
Onr Better Calves Say
They could not keep house without Cham
berlain's Cough Eemedy, especially for the
children. In a case a lew weeks since at
the home of a neighbor the attending physi
cian had given up a case of what he called
dropsy. Mother happening in, told the
parents that in her mind it was a case of
lung fever, and advised the use of this cough
syrup, which they did. Besult, the child is
well and the parents happy. Chamberlain's
medicines are used in more than half the
homes in Leeds. Sims Bros., Leeds, la.
This remedy is not intended for lung fever,
but for cold's, la grippe, croup and whoop
ing cough. It will loosen a cold, relieve
the lungs and prevent the cold from result
ing in lung fever. 50-cent and $1 bottles
