PrrrsBUio, Wedhesdat. April 18. t
Eeceipts of cattle at East Liberty yards
for the week were a fair average in number
and quality. The total for the week so far
has been about GO carloads, more than one
half of which were from Chicago. There
were no strictly prime heavy beeves on the
market, and have not been for some weeks
past Light smooth butcher beeves such as
our market calls for most were not in supply
equal to demand, and last week's prices on
this grade were more than maintained. All
oflerings were taken at a shade better prices
than a week ago, though the opening was
slow. Yesterday there were about as many
buyers as beeves in the yards.
Good lrcsh cows were in limited supply
and sold at last week's range. Common
were dull and hard to sell at any price.
The run of veal calves was the largest of
the season, ana prices declined to a range
of$i 00 to $4 50 per cwt. The decline in
price of calves lias been equal to 3c per
pound In tho past three Tt eeks.
Hoqs The number on sale for the week
ha been about SO cat loads. Markets were
dull on Monday at $4 93 for tops, which -nas
10c below the price a week ago. Since Mon
day receipts hare been light and prices are
almost back to wheio they wei e last week.
There have been on sale'during tho week 25
carloads of sheep and lamb, and all choico
stock sold at steadv last week's pricos. '
A deck of spring lambs was solrt at 10c per
pound, w Ith a bnnch of fancy at 12c About
one-hair of tho sheep offered this week were
clipped, and with n continuance of the
favorable weather. In a week or two, the
offerings will be all clipped. The difference
In price bctv een wool and clipped sheep is
at present about $1 00 per cwt.
A Live Stock Firm's Review.
Following Is report of the week's trans
actions by Holmes, Brlggs & Co.:
Wo report 53 cars of cattle on sale Monday
ngalnstSS on Monday of last week. The
opening prices were about 5c below last
week and continued very dull up to about
10 o'clock, when a number of fresh buyers
came into the market. The result was a
more active closine atfnlllast week's prices,
with demand scarcely supplied, especially
on handy light butchering cattle and good
young cattlo suitable for grazing purposes.
Such are notably scarce in our market this
spring, prices beimr too low to Justify nnv

$:o to $45 per head.
Receipts of hogs were fair on Monday,
which with light demund were slow sale at
10 cents less than last week. Since Monday
receipts have been very light and matket
very "dull up to this morning when there
were a few orders to fill, and tlirongh the
scarcity prices were advanced fully 10 cents
por hundred. Closing at about last week's
prices, we quote tops at 5 cents, good raised
$4.65 to $4.90. good 1 orkers ft.SO to $4 90.

RAINS TO THE RESCUE.
Bad Weather In the Northwest ruts Heart
Into the Wheat Bulls Corn Grading
Not Improved and Prices Advancing
Oats Sympathetic Provisions DalL
CHICAGO The elements came to the
rescue to-day. Wheat made a gain of 2o
and closed within Hoot the top at 82c for
May. Corn and provisions participated In
the improvement. It was cold in many parts
ot tho winter wheat belt, and further rains
were reported" In tho Northwest, putting
back the seeding still mora. BradttrecCt re
port ot tho available supply showed
a decrease of 2,320,000 bushels last
week east of the Rockies and
100,000 bushels on the Pacific, making a net
decrease of over 2,400,000 bushels. Tho
scalpers seemed to be rather bearish and"
fought tho advance some, but outside buying
orders wero rather geneious.
May wheat opened at 80Jc; fell to 80Je;
then became strong and sold to 81c: cased
off to 81c; then up to 81c, and at 12 o'clock
was about 81Kc Dnring the last hour the
wheat market continued to develop
strength, and May wont up to 82c with a
a good deal of excitement, but eased off
later to SlKc: then reacted to 82c,and at the
close vas ntcadyat 81c The cash wheat
was held at lc premium, and it was claimed
that a 250,000 bushel lot had been worked for
export. This was not confirmed.
The opening of navigation and the close
approach of )ic middle of April has brought
no such Improvement In the grading of corn
as predicted. It is current gossip that if
present conditions continue for a few days
longer corn will divide with wheat the gen
eral interest Tho upward movement of
prices had few setbacks. Themarket closed
firm atabont tho best prices, with a gain of
e In May and Ko in July Irom last night.
The oats maiket was a sympathetic one,
following wheat closely all day. The mar
ket closed K higher than 24 hours previous.
In the provision pit brokers stood idly
about commenting on the great cattle re
ceipts, the cheapness of beof compared with
pork. etc. Tho market had no independent
support. Later, when wheat was up over
2c from the opening and corn was stronger
and advancing, the provision prices were
bid up on comparatively light business
Compared with last night the closing is up
12c for July pork, 5e for lard, and 2c for
ribs.

FEATURES OF TRADE.
Two Fine Properties Purchased and
Donated as a Site for
A CHURCH FOR THE SIXTH U. P.'S.
Unprecedented Activity in Building in the
lit. Washington District
INTESTOES WORKING THE TOWNSHIPS
It. was stated a few days ago in this
column that steps had been taken by the
congregation of the Sixth U. P. Church, on
Collins avenue,' looking to the sale of their
present house of worship and grounds and
the erection of a larger and finer building.
More definite information was obtained
yesterday. Mr. Charles Lockhart has pur
chased the O'Leary property, corner of
Highland avenue and Station street, for
(25,000 cash, and also the adjoining prop
erty, owned by J. G Buffum, for 23,000.
These properties have a combined frontage
of200fecton Highland avenue, and about
the same on Station street Thev will be
turned over by Mr. Lockhart to the church
authorities as .a site for the new edifice,
which will be ot stone and cost 5150,000 or
more. The work ot construction will begin
in June. Subscriptions already made prac
tically cover the entire cost ot the building.
A Bnsr Quarter Heard From.
Building on ML Washington is quite
active. John Mooney has just completed
20 five and six-roomed houses on Sweet
briar street and started 20 more in the same
neighborhood. B. J. Williams has com
menced eight on Belonda and Natchez
streets, to be completed as soon as possible.

ings on Ophelia street, opposite the Chil
dren's Hospital. Ed House, Jr., the con
tractor, will soon begin the erection of a
fine stone front brick mansion on the same
street.
Activity in tho Townships.
The city is reaching out, not only into
the boroughs, but the townships, where a
great deal of real estate has changed hands
within the last lew months, xne impres
sion prevails that Pittsburg will ultimately
absorb the county, and it may be that long
headed investors realize this consummation
more iorcibly than others, and are getting
in on the "ground floor," so as to lay foun
dations for future fortunes. Several good
sized deals in township property were noted
a Jew days ago. The following transfers
are taken from the court records: William
Henselbarth et ux to Joseph Schwarzmiller,
lot in Stowe township, 50x100. $5000'; C. B.
Harmon et al to Joseph P. Frischler, lot in
Hempton township, 25x78, Butler road,
5125; Crawley & Carroll, Limited, to John
J. Keil, lot in Shaler township, 50x100,
Grove street, $250; Frances M. Love to

$7,250; A. P. Klein et al to Frank Nath, lot
in St. Clair township, 25x140, Bechtenwald
street, $200; Daniel W. Morrow et ux to
Fleming Piatt, lot in Bichland township,
$200.
The Bnlldtns Eecord.
Yesterday was another good day in the
building line,-but not equal to 'the day
before. Ten permits were issued for 18 im
provements, aggregating in estimated value
$15,536. The most important are: Martin

Quiet and Nominally Without Chance
Other Features. ..
Trading was slack yesterday, but there
were a few strong features to make np for
it. Pipeago and Chartlers Gas advanced
about a point each, without bringing out as
much as wanted. In fact there was none of
the latter on tap at anything like the bid
ding price. Philadelphia finished the day
with a slight loss, but may be quoted as
steady. . , ,.
In sneaking of these stocks a broker said!
" "There i nothing to show that the supply of
fuel was less tnan it was a year or two ago.
Indeed, recent Investuratlon shows it to bo
greater. This has' encouraged outsiders to
come Into the market as buyers, and be
tween them and the professionals there is
enough competition to advance prices.
Chartlers, for instance, the par of which is
100, Is certainly cheap at 13, and it is this be
ller that IS booming it."
There was scaioely any change in the
street railways. Manchester was the strong
est of the group. Luster fell off a little from
the opening price. The rest of the list was
practically unchanged.

STOCKS WON'T DOWN.
PROFESSIONAL BEARS ON WALL
STREET DISCOMFITED.
Cordage Raided, on Prospective Litigation,
but Recovers Coalers, Lead by Read
ing, Again Coma to the Front New
Ergland Proves the Weakest Spot.
New York. April 13. There was not much
encouragement for the professional bears
in the stock-market this morning, and their
prospects were confined to only one stock,
which, while yielding radily at first, proved
to respond more readily to the efforts to
cover later. .London- figures were higher
this morning, but foreign houses were doing
little, and the dullness In the market con
tinued unrelieved except for the special
animation in the Industrials, New Eng
land and specialties, and later in the Coal
stocks. The traders, as usual, were the
principal sellers, but stocks were taken at
all concessions, and the general market,
while dull, displayed a strong temper, which
resulted In a slow, but steady, appreciation
in values all along the line.
Some sensational stories of intended liti
gation against the Cordage Company offered
an opportunity to the bears to raid the
stocks of the company down. The prices
were forced off 3 per cent for the common
and for the preferred. Tho stocks did
not long remain under the hammer, how
ever, and n rapid and full recovery followed.
New England was another weaK point in
the early dealings. The los3 to-day 1 eaclied
something ovor ,1 per cent, and a partial
rally only succee'ded.
Against these movements were to be
placed the new spurt in Lake Erie and West
ern stocks, which carried the common up
about 1 per cent and the prelerred 2 per
cent, which was accompanied by marked
strength in the Industrials and later In the
Coalers, all of which were again advanced
materially, with Delaware and Hudson in
the lead. Beading, however, again took its
old place at tho head of the speculation be
fore the close, and scored a much larger ad
vance than usual of late.
The general market remained without
feature throughout the day, and the activity
and strength In the leaders, while sufficient
to give a firm temper, failed to move prices
to an appreciable extent. The close was
dull and firm generally at abont the best
prices of the day, but In few cases were
these materially higher than those of last
evening. The market gains included: Jer
sey Central. "; Beadinc and Snzar. each
: Lake Erie and Western, 1: Lacka
wanna, 1. and Chicago Gas, 1 per cent,
while Cordage Is down 1 per cent.
The total sales of stocks to-day were 271,
832 shares. Including: Atchison, 8,166, Chlca
co Gas, 6,650: Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, 16,900; Delaware and Hudson, 7,224;

cific, 3 434: Western, 4.4S3; New Jersey Cen
tral, 4.760.
Eailroad bonds were again specially act
ive, and, with a wide distribntjpn of the
bnsinesn. a strong temper was shown
throughput the day, but with but few mate
rial trains, as usual. The Beading issues and
the Eichmond and West pqint issues were
especially prominent In the dealings, and
all of the Readings aro higher; but Eich
mond and West Point 5s, after selling down
to 53, closed unchanged at 5S.

The bottom-appears to have dropped out of
the creamery butter trade. The decline of
Elgin creamery in the past week has been
equal to 6c per pound. Large receipts of
country butter are no doubt responsible for
the decline. Eggs are a shade lower, but
are still higher here than at other trade
centers east and west. Poultry is quiet
owing to unexpectedly large arrivals.
Cloverseed has again become scarce, and
