Tidj Butchering Eeeves VTera Firm and Trices a Sfcade Better. BEEEP STKOXG AND SWIXE WEAKER Office op The Dispatch, ) "FrrTSBCHO, Wkdxesdvt, Apill 6. j . Keceipts of cattle at East Liberty 'yards were lighter this week than they have been since the year began. The total for the week has been about 55 carloads, 11 hereas the recent average has been almost 70 loads. Thouqh receipts were light there were enough on the market to meet all de mands, and more than enough of the com mon and low grades. Good butchering beeves of light weight were in good demand at a shade better prices than last week. The highest price paid was 55 00 for a load of prime Indiana beeves, weighing 1,500 pounds. The owner of this load reported that they were sold at a loss, and that he sold the same grade of cattle a year ago at ?G 30 per cwt. Prices of good beeves are ccrtainly.uown to their lowest level lor this season. Fresh cows of high grade were in light supply this week and were promptly taken at outside prices, while common grades were hard to sell. Sales were reported at 545 00 per head. The run of veal calves was the largest of the year and price? were the lowest. There were close to 500 head on ale Monday and fully 200 head have arrived since Monday. The" highest price paid was 5c per pound, and onlv a few of the best sold at this fisuro. Slicciv-Thcro have been all told not above 10 load on the market this week. All offeted fonnd quick sale at strong last week's I trices. Top price of sheep i as $6 50 and nmbs $7 40 per cwt. Hoss Theie were 25 loads on sale Monday and about cirfit loads have been received rlnce Jlondav. Top price on Monday was $5 10 with markets slow. Top piice this morning was S5 CO. A Live Stock Finn's Rsvlew. Following Is report of the week's transac tions at Liberty yards by William Holmes &Co.: We report 53 cars of cattle on sale Monday againstCO cais on Monday last week. Of those 31 car were from Chicajio and the bal ance :10m Ohio and Indiana. The quality was scarcely up to an average of the past few weeks, and the attendance of buyers was light. The demand was slow and there n as quite an effort to advance prices by salesmen. Buyers, however, could not be moved in that direction and with the excep tion of a few lots of smooth, handy kind, (which sold about 5 to 10c higher than last week), markets were slow at last week's pi ices. There is still quire an inquiry for good xrades of 0!) to l.UH) ll steers for grazing purposes but mch arc not coming forward as usual for this season of the year. Good freI: con s are in fair demand at I ull pi ices, hile com mon and springers are hard to ell.

The Flattering Crop Report Trom Kansas and "Weak Cables Start Wheat Lower Bradstreet's Statement and the Demand for Cash May Turns the Tables. cniCAGO The bulls had everything their own way to-day. Wheat recovered nearly 2 cents from an early dip nnd closed with good support. To-night all leading articles on the list, as well as wheat, exhibited firm ness. The wheat market started weak and a little lower under the inflnenoo of lower cables and a very flattering report on growing wheat from Secretary Mohler, of the Kansas Bureau. Tho foreign news was, if anvthlng. morebeariBh than heretofore, but domestic markets all seemed to show a great deal of confident strength, notwith standing the crop sltuation'continues favor able. Bradstreet's showed a decrease of 1,310,000 bushels In the available supply on both coasts; but In view of the large de crease renorted last week in the nrlvate ele- vntors In the Xoithwcst 1,670,000 bushels and the 2:0,000 decreaso in the published Ylsible.the report was somewhat disappoint ing. Perhaps the strongest feature in the market was the good demand for cash wheat, including Xo. 2 spring. As the market beenii to show its strenith the covering of short wheat became, quite brisk and helped materially to promote strength. May opsned at about 7S5Kc, sold at 7SJ7Se, split gradually to SOJe, and 12 o'cloc"k was. about SOc. After the noon hour the market became weak on free selllns. The demand also fell off and most of tho shorts seemed to have been run in on tho curly bulge. May, after selling up to SOJc, broke gradually to 79JjJc, at which price it held steady and closed. Ther was a rustle In the corn t)lt during the first and last fivo minutes or the session, but with quietness in between. It is said that unquestionably a large short interest exists, and in view of the firmness In wheat and the minors of manipulation there was considerable disposition to cover. Mnv op ened c h'glicr at 3i)Jc. but Improved grad u:illy to Kc. and at 12 o'clock was about 40'c. The closing was at 40Jc sellers. Oats were traded in liberally and tho prices ranged higher early, but later weak ened and the close was steady with prices at a slight- advance, over Monday's close. The stiength came mainly from wheat and corn. Hog products generally weaker on the llo cral receipts ot live hogs and the lower prices at the yards. The selling was free, but the subsequent Improvement in grain checked the downward movement. The leading futures raneetl as f.-liows. as cor rected by John Jl.

AN ANCIENT RUMOR WORKED OVER Enhnrtan flapid Transit Eailwaj Stirring Up Sonthside People. SPECIAL FEATURES OP BUSINESS It was learned yesterday that a transac tion in real estate involving about an acre and a half on Aiken avenue, Shadyside, had just been consummated at a figure close to 821,000. Messrs. "W. A. Herron & Sons being mentioned as agents who eonducted the deal, they were asked for information, but were not in a position to say anything bevond confirming the report. It is under stood the purchaser is a leading business man, who intends to erect a residence which will not suffer by comparison with the finest in the East End. Movements on the Sonthside. The Suburban Rapid Transit Railway, running from Mt Oliver out the Browns ville road, is being extended to the city by way of the above named thoroughfare and South Eighteenth street. A large force of men is at work doing the necessary grading. A double track is to be laid and the pike will be paved with block stone It is ex pected that the entire work will be com pleted within 60 days.

Several hand some dwellings have been started on the Brownsville road. Mr. Steinecke will build one of the handsomest residences on the Sonthside. One has just been com pleted at a cost of over ?8,000. An Old Story Revived. The annual rumor that one of the bie in surance companies is looking around for a site for an office building in this city is again on the street, but is probably only talk to secure cheap advertising. The same company urged as a reason for not buying two or three years ago that ground was too dear. As values of central property have stinened considerably 111 the interval the same reason, only intensified, for not buy ing and building exists now as was urged against the movement then. Still, this would be the proper tiling to da The com pany owes much to Pittsburs, which obliga tion it could discharge in no better way than by expending a million or two in abuilding. It would not only be a good investment, apart from any other consideration, but would also serve as an entering wedge for other improvements of a like nature. Bnliders Are I!n-y.

The stock markotwas snrprlslngly weak at the opening yesterday. Buyers at bottom prices made an effort to take profits but met with little success. The weakest features were Birmingham and Central Tractions Switch and Signal and Luster. At the first call Birmingham sold down to 25. Some one needed money and let the stock go at a sacrifice.

The Reports Affect the Values of Union Pacific, New England and Klctimond and West Point Foreifrn Buying a Fac torBonds Active. New York, April G Tho stock market to day was more active and stronger than for many days past, and especially in the Coal stocks material advances were scored. The general list, however, still remained com paratively quiet within narrow limits; and, while there was the usual number of stocks traded in, the intoiest was centered in three or four, which gave character and activity to the whole market. Tho bears found them selves in an uncomfortable position, for, while theie was still considerable vulnera bility shown In both New Ensland and Rich mond and West Point securities, they wero confronted in the Coalers by a determined opposition. There wcro the usual number of rumors set afloat in rciard to the possible failure of tho ltlchmond and West Point reorganiza tion plan, and the advocates of lower values were enabled, by creatine the Impression that Insiders wore llqnidatlnpr in both the Xcw England and Biclrnond and West Point, to drivo both down J per cent in the onrly trading, while Richmond nnd West Point dropped anay 3 per cent to 50. The bonds followed and weie forced down heav ily, hut the support In tho Coalers, together with the apparent llboial buyine; for the for eign account, turned the scale azain, and while a rise of 4i percent in Delnwarennd Hudson was in progress the rest of the Coal st cks made substantial calus, and Reading was enabled to recoverits early losses, which were afterward supplemented by a material advance. Even the weak stocks later felt tho stim ulus, and the very heavy buying to cover shorts served to completely wipe out tho loss in Now England and most of it in Rich mond and West Point. The foreign buyinfj was again nn important laetor in the situa tion, but only by inducing fresh buying irom uomtstic sources, xno npwnru move ment in tho Coalers was enchanced by some rumors, Delaware nnd Hudson being again put under Vanderbilt contiol, while New England was advanced on the idea that the bear party In the stock had made Its turn. The principal Influence In the mnrkct, however, was the running of the short in terest, nnd while theie was no luck of new buying, that interest causod tho material gains lecordedin tho leading active stocks. Among tho low-priced shares there werofow features, hnt late in tho day the Flint and Poro Marquette stocks camo into promi nence, and the Cotton OH shares had a maikedrise. Tho only stock in the general list to occupy mnch attention was Union Pacific, about w liich there i ere rumors of a change in the management, accompanied by some good bitving of the btock at steadilv advanclug prices. The rest of the market was quiet nnd held ultblti narrow limits, as usual, though St. Paul was heavily bought for foreign account and was remaikably active.
