Pittsbcko, Mohday, March IX.
At the East Liberty yards there were 70
lotds of cattle on.sale at the opening of
markets this morning, against 73 loads last
Monday. About 40 loads of the offerings
to-day were from Chicago, the balance being
mostly irom Ohio and Indiana. Quality
was a fair average. There were no heavy
primes on sale and few light primes. In
the offerings were about five loads of stock
rs. Buyers were present in smaller force
than usual, and those present made the
most of their opportunity to bear markets.
An effort was made to hold prices up to last
week's range, but it proved unsuccessful,
and sellers were forced to make concessions
in order to unload. There was a drop of not
less than 10c per cwt. at the opening.and all
signs pointed to still further reduction be
4 fore all offerings could be disposed of.
Light, tidy butcher beeves suffered less from
the weakness of markets, for the reason that
supply was scarcelv equal to demand. A
load of good Ohio eevei weighing about.
1,400 lbs was sold at (4 Co. This, so far as
could be learned, was the ton of the market.
The run of fresh cows was not so large this
week as last, but there were sufficient for
all demands.
Sales were reported at J40 00 per head,
and the range was 520 00 to 540 00.
A Plenty of Veal.
Veal calves were in larger supply than
last week, there being not less than 250
bead on sale with prospects of large receipts
on Tuesday. Markets were dull at a de
cline of c per lb from rates of a week
ago. The range this morniug was 5)c to 6c
per lb, with very few reaching the out
side figure. Sheep There veie about 14
loads on sale when markets opened,
against 20 loads the previous Mon
day. Quality of offerings was scarcely
up to late average. Markets opened
strong and active, at a shade better
prices than were obtained last week. Top
price of lambs was "Jc, and sheep, 6c per
pound. Only a few'ianey bunches reached
these prices. There were about 25 loads of
bogs on sale at this morning's opening,
againt the same number a week ago.
Markets started out slow, with $5 10 to 55 13
lor Philadelphia1:, or a decline of 15c to 20c
per cwt from prices of a week 'ago.

TWO FRISKY LAMBS SHEARED
By a Break In Cereal Prices Canted by Fav
orable Weather Prospects Bear Carry
-the Day Id All the Pitt Even Provisions
Depressed. , ' ,
CHICAGO It was down grade to-day on
the Boaid of Trade, as two young Napoleons
of finance, employed as clerks by Lamson
Bros., learned when too late. They were
surreptitiously carrying 250,000 bushels of
wheat in the names of the firm's customers,
and it proved too much on a day when older
muscles felt the strain. The: crowd went
home short Saturday on the expectation of
very cold weather over Sunday. This cold,
being accompanied by snow In many places,
disappointed them, and in selling out
they started a bieak which continued
to Increase during the day, until
the price was IJJc below Saturday's closing
quotation. Corn stood up comparatively
well, but provisions succumbed to the bear
ish Influence of wheat. Nearly everything
in the way of news was ot a depressing na
ture, particularly irom abroad.
Tho wheat market opened about Jfc below
Saturday's close and gradually lost c more.
About the first news from abroad was that
of a heavv failnrein Antwerp, which caused
considerable local selling. The receipt in
the Northwest were liberal, and the selling
soon became urgent. The shorts appeared
to have covered very generally on Satur
day's bulge-, and there was consequently
little demand irom that Interest; but the
weakness started the longs to liquidating
and nearly everybody had some to sell. The
result was a sharp break, which carried May
from S4o early to 83Vc befo'-e noon, and
at 12 o'clock the market was about 84c
The visible supply showed an increase of
3!,uou pusueis last wees, anu neipeu to uo
prcss the market. The market grew weaker
during tho last hour, and May sold off to
83Jr, closing easy at SSJgc
t,orn,w as traded in lairly but was gen
erally weak, influenced by the depression
in wlieat, the liberal receipts and the gen
eral beai ish feeling in all the pits. There
was not much shipping inquiry. The re
ceipts were larger than expected, and the
offerings were tree with hut little disposition
to buy. Mav opened at 3Sc, sold at 3Sc.
then went off to SSJSlSSUc split, and at 12
o'clock was 3$Kc Duung last hour the
market kept dull and easy, with May at 3SJ
SSc an d 3SJ3SJjc an d closed easy at SSc.
In oats, prices at all times were lower
than Saturday's close. The crowd was bear
ish, and this, with heavy selling, was tho
principal cause of the weakness. Mav
opened at 2?c. touched 272So and then
rallied to 25i2Sc, only to react to 28c,
closing easy at 27J&
Hogs were repoi ted to Do In active request
at 5c improvement on Saturday's closing
quotations; but the provision market made
no response to the better demand for the
raw material. Weakness in the meat mar
ket encouraged a raid by local speculators,
which was not resisted by the packers. The
decline since SaturJay is 10s in pork, tho
same in lard and 5c in ribs.

OFFICE AND STREET .NEWS AND GOSSIP
Among special transactions in real estate
which came to the surface yesterday, was
that of 563 Fifth avenue, near the market
house, lot 20x100, with a brick two-story
dwelling. It was sold through the agency
of Samuel "VV. Black & Co., and brought
56,200, a little more or less. The purchaser
is'Mr. Joseph Eiee who, it is said, will
convert the house into a business stand.
The undivided half interest in Nos. 13 and
15 Ohio street, Allegheny, lot 40x174, with
a large two-story brick building used as a
livery stable and 'offices, - was sold at
auction,Sturday afternoon for 513,550. It
was knocked down to Samuel "W. Black &
Co., as agents. , Another property on the
same strcet'ehahged ownership yesterday at
about $20,000, but the agent was not at "lib
erty to rurnish further information.
A Bustling Borough.
Oakmont , borough, formerly part of
Verona, is building up as rapidly, perhaps,
as any other suburban town, butverv little
has been said about it. It is a case of hid
ing a candle under a- bushel. It stretches
in an unbroken line along the railroad from
Edgewater station to Hulton, a distance of
nearly two miles. 5TJpw'ard of 100 houses
have been built there within a year, and the
outlook for development this year is very
bright The population is about 2,000.
There is talk of an electric light plant
Lots along the railroad are held at from
51,200 to 51,500. Land on the upper side of
the railroad is held by a few people the
Panes, Arensburgs, Armstrongs and Grovers,
and is not in the market
Oakmont numbers among its citizensmore
lawyers and bankers than almost any other
town of equal size. Among the former may
be mentioned Grover, Lee, Brunot and
Given; of the latter there are Meade, Speer
and Given. These gentlemen are firmly of
the conviction that Oakmont is the finest
residence quarter in the county.
Good Words and Timely.
Pittsburg business men vhave undaunted
faith in realty. Here is what one of them
said yesterday: "From all points of view
the prospect is cheerful. There, has ne er
been a time when capitalists' were so much
interested in realty as now, nor when more
money was seeking investment in this best
ot all securities. It Is an easy task to
place inside property Which possesses solid
features."
Special Features Touched Up.
Business was in good shape yesterday. The

favorable to the company. This removed a

Philadelphia Sells Reading Freely
Sugar Strong Richmond and West
Point Bonds Weak Reading Issues
Lower..
New York, March 21 Tho apathy of oper
ators in the stock market showed a still
further increase today, and the dealings In
the market for tho great majority or the list
and during tho larger part of tho dayweie
utterly devoid of feature or interest. Theie
was no demand for stocks except the Indus
trials, and the selling of Reading by Phila
delphia caused a material depression in the
Coal stocks, especially Delaware and Hud
son and Reading in the early trading, while
the offering ot the June dividend onXoith
ern Pacific preferred at caused a similar
decline in that stock.
These influences were supplemented later
in the day by a rise in sterling exchange
rates, which served to keep the quotations
of most stocks below those of the opening
during the day. Richmond and West Point
attained considerable prominence in the
market, but after a continuation of the de
cline started last week, it Joined with the
general- list and remained without move
ment for the greater portion of the day.
Among the specialties only. Ohio Southern
and Pullman showed any animation, but
both were strong and scored substantial
gains.
Tho strength in Sugar helped the other
Industrials, as tar as maintaining u Arm
temper was concerned, bnt It failed to de
velop any animation in them and among
the leading railway shares. While St. Paul,
Northwestern, Atchison and Union Paciflo
were fairly active, their movements were
confined to the smallest fractions.
The opening was at insignificant changes
from Saturday's .final prices, though Dela
ware and Hudson was up2K per cent. It
rapidly retired, however, and its loss at tho
close was heavy enough for a larger busi
ness than was done in the stock. Reading
and Northern Paciflo preferred were the
weak points among the nctive shares, and
the whole mnrket responded to the declines
in these shares to a limited extent. The
afternoon saw a further slight depressipn,
but no material change occurred, and the
market finally closed dull and heavy at or
near the lowest pi-ices of tho dy. The final
losses were generally insignificant, but
Delaware and Hudson is down 1 per cent
and Reading only , all other changes being
for fractional amounts.
The total sales of stocks at New York to
dav were 230,318 shares, including: Atchison,
5,500; Chicago Gas, 8,500; Delaware andlludson,
3,571; Erie, 4,125: Missouri Pacific, 3.865: North
ern Pacific prcterred, 9,560; Northwestern,
8 865; Reading, 94,100; Richmond and .West
Point, 15,770; St Paul, 10,060: Union Pacific,
5,389.
Railway bonds were aguin very quiet and
without special featuie of interest other
than the renewed weakness of the Richmond
and West Point issues, owing. to the feeling
of dissatisfaction with the reorganization
plan. The Reading issues were all lower.
Tho trading reached $1,012,000.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices
Under the influence of cold weather, eggs
are firmer in price,and single cases were
sold to-day a shade above our outside quota
tions. A change to warmer weather will,
without doubt, bring prices down to 12c per
dozen. At Cincinnati markets were below
12c per dozen all last week. There has been
an unusual scarcity of choice creamery but
ter in this market the past week and prices
are firm. Fancy Florida oranges are in
limited supplv, and drift of markets is up
ward. Vegetables are still slow and dull,
with no material change in prices for weeks
pair. It has not occurred for many seasons
that potatoes, cabbage and onions could be
bought at such low rates as now prevail.
The same is $rue of apples, maple syrnp,
