Office of The Distatch, J
PmsBCEo. Wednesday, Marcli IS.
There have been upward of 75 carloads of
cattle on sale at the East Liberty yards this
week atrainst 50 loads last week. Quality
of offerings this week was not up to late
average, and this, with the increased re
ceipts, had a depressing influence on mar
kets. Xo heavy prime beeves were on sale,
and the number of light primes was small
as compared with the total. Buyers" were
not as numerous as usual, and the few on
hand made the best of the opportunity to
bear markets. Good butcher beeves,
being rather scarce, suflered least
from the bear movement, but there
was a decline all along the line from prices
ot a week ago. Some common grades were .
20c per cwt. below last week's prices, and
the best offered would have brought 10c per
cvrt more a week aso than was obtained
this week. There were no sales reported
above SH 40 in carload lots, while primes
sold above $5 00 in Chicago
Fresh cows were in liberal supply, and
choice grades held up well to prices ot last
week. 'The range was ?2o 00 to ?40 00 per
head. Calves were in light supply and firm
at prices of a week ago.
Good batcher beeves and shippers have
been selling at better prices here lor some
weeks than at Buffalo.
There have been about 30 loads of sheep
and lambs on sale this week at Liberty,
against 2o loads last week. Markets were
strong for all good grades. Top price of
sheep was G 25 and lambs ?" 25. Hogs
were in light supply Monday, and markets
were firm with $5 35 as top. This morning
the top was 55 25.

The Market Evidently Oversold Bad Crop
Reports From the Winter Grain Belts
Oats a Little Better Provisions Irregu
lar. CHICAGO There was a fair demand for
wheat to-day, but the offerings were less
urgent, and a much better feeling pervaded
the market. This was partly due to a nat
ural reaction from the extreme depression
which has ruled for some days. The chief
factor Is the receipt of numerous "crop dam
age reports from different States Michigan,
Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas. Com
ing as they did from various sections, oper
ators seemed to place some reliance in them
and bought quite freely. The prominent
local operators took on a fair quantity
claimed to be "long" wheat, and
shorts also covered. The market, no doubt,
became considerably oversold the last few
days, and it required something of this na
ture tostait operatois to buying. A letter
Iroii an official source said the Michigan
crop looked w ell up to the recent freeze, but
is now black in many sections and must be
dead in clav soil. Keports from otherStates
say the late freeze tlid more or less damage.
TJrad streeCs repoi ted a decrease of 1.063,000
bushels cat and a decrease of 491,009 bushels
w est of the Kooky Mountains.
Early cables were weak, but did not have
any apparent effect on prices. The maiket
advanced 3Ac and ..old beavilv nn the Imiin.
Mai opened at 85VfS5Jc advanced before
noon with slight l factions to 86c; then there
a quite a lush to sell, early buj ers taking
profits and slunt sellers putting out liberal
lines, and there was a gradual decline to
S5Jic, assisted by weaker cables. Xear the
close, however, there were oetter advices
from nbi oad, and short sellers turning In to
take their pi outs, thcie was a rally, to b6Kc,
at which the market closed Arm.
Corn was quiet but firm during the fore
noon, influenced almost en tli ely by sympa
thy with the firmness In wheat and other
speculative products. Trade was slow.
There seemed to be a general disposition to
take advantage of the decline to cover
shorts while the selling was somewhat re
stricted. During the last hour, however,
the inai ket turned weak, -lien w heat broke
aim lost me advance. May opened jic
higher, at 39c, advanced to 390, leacted
to 39c, and closed steady at 39Ki
Oats sympathized with corn, and closed at
ic advance.
Hog products started Arm with a good de
mand ii om shorts and not much offered.
Later on there was a reaction, when irrnlns
turned weak. Pork closed easy at a decline
of 2c, though lard and ribs show an advance
of a like amount.

People who think that Pittsburg i asleep
are badly mistaken. They should cut loose
irom their harrow environments and find
out what is going on. All of the great
arteries are pulsating with business, while
the central part of the city is crowded to in
convenience. In a trip of several .miles
yesterday these facts were so manifest as to
compel attention. Everybody seemed to
have something to do, and went about do
ing it.
This is certainly an encouraging condition
of affairs, and all the more since this is
about the. dullest season of the year, the
winter trade beincr over and' thR snrintr
movement held in abeyance by bad weather.
The city is in a good position to profit bv
the revival which is sure to come.

AH the Stock Taken.
The balance of the trust stock of the Syla
cauga Land and Improvement Company,
800 shares, has been taken by a syndicate of
East Enders. The deal was closed yester
day evening. This company some time ago
purchased the material of the Penn Cotton
Mill for removal to the new town of Syla
cauga, where a large building is being
erected for its reception. In addition to
developing the town named, the company
is largely interested in timber and mineral
lands.
This is a Pittsburg enterprise, and from
the high business standing of its promoters,
success seems well nigh assured. The cot
ton mill will be one of the largest and best
equipped in the South.

SPECULATORS WAITING
THE H03IE MARKETS.
THE MOVEMENT IN GENERAL PROD
UCE LINES IS STILL SLUGGISH.
TO SEE -WHAT WILL BE DONE AGAINST
THE NEW COMBINES.
SOME IMPROVEMENT.
Signs That General Trade Is Beginning to
Beach Out.
A slight increase in the call for accommo
dations was noted at several of the city
banks yesteiday. This is good news ns
showing that trade is expanding. Deposit
ing was liberal and checking fair, . both
items being better than a year ago. There
was no variation In the discount late, which
was steady at 6 per cent on the ordinary
clashes ot loans. Bauk clearings weie $2J
353,768 34 and balances $527,178 46.
In reviewing last week's New Tork bank
statement, the Chicago Zri&unesays: "It in
dicates an increasing demand lor money,
which must mean lenewcd lllo in industrial
affairs. The leserve Is still large enough, so
there need be no fear of anything like strin
gency. The absorption or an jmdnly lnrge
surplus reserve is to be welcomed as an evi
dence ot improving general business rather
than depreciated, because a lew stock spec
ulators ill be prevented from making loans
at unreasonably low rates."
At the half yearly meeting of the Bank of
England to-day. It is exnectcd that a pro
posal will be made to transler the unreal
ized assets of the Barings to a new trust,
hich will raise funds to repav 6,000,000 ad
vanced bv the Bank or England for the
llauldation. It is hqped that such a pro
posal will bo carried, as its adoption would
greatly help toicstoro business to its nor
mal condition.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at 1 to 2 per cent; last loan at 2: closed
offered at . Prime mercantile paper,
46 per cent, sterling exchange quiet bnt
steady at $4 83 for 60-day bills and $4 87X
for demand.
The Bulk of the Opinion Is That the
Beading Is Solid Slow Movements In
Southern Toal Stocks Northwestern
Bought on Its Increased Earnings.
New York, llaroh 16. Operators, includ
ing even the room traders, were to-day
awaiting developments, and especially as
regards the Sugar combination and the
action or the Pennsylvania authorities in
tne matter or the Coal combination. The
stieet is Inclined to play the piobabllity of
the bill in the Xew Jersey Legislature se
curing tho slgnaturo of the Governor
against the possibility that the Pennsyl
vania may be able to And some flaw in the
agreement, and Reading displayed a strong
temper throughout the session, w hile reali
zations on the late advance and the execu
tion of stop otders gave Sugar a w eak as
pect. Thei e was a spurt in prices, caused Dy
tho execution of some buying orders in
Atchison tor speculative account, but the
general list during the greater part of the
day remained w ithnut teatuie of any kind.
The new developments in both Richmond
and West Point and Tennessee Coal weie
productive of no further movements in
either of the stocks; but a demonstration
against the bonds or the first named was fol
lowed by an immediate recovery, and in
Tennessee Coal a steady dribbling of stocks
to nnirkec to realize on the late advance
kept the stock diooping thioughout most of
the session. There was also some buying of
Northwestern, which wn3 sufficient to ad
va'nce its quotations 1 per cent, supposed to
be based on the earnings of the comnanv:
but the inactive stocks were unusually bar
ren of Intel est, and the limited animation
shown in southern and East Tennessee sec
onds resulted In no movement in their
pi ices. Reading was advanced in the fore
noon, but its activity dwindled to ordinary
proportions after that, and no further
change or note occurred in the stock.
The opening or the maiket was made on
generally lower quotations, but the strength
or Reading milled the entire market, and a
small fractional gain became the rule, de
spite the weakness In Sugar. The move
ment in Atchison toward 12 o'clock fill ther
advanced the list, but here all motion in the
market ceased, the subsequent trading be
ing done within the narrowest limits, and it
was not until just at the close, when the
closing oWHif a lew long accounts sagged
the list off a shade, that there was anv ac
tivity. The market closed, however, dull
and steady to llrm, generally at small frac
tional advances for the day. There was no
material change In any ot the active shares,
but the majority of the list Is slightly higher
than last e ening.
Tne total sales of stocks to-dav were 205,
