PlTTSBUBO, MOICDAT, April IS.
Eeceipts of lire stock at our local yards
this week are unusually li?ht, the lightest
of the season, in fact, and, as a result, prices
are better along the line than they have
been lor weeks past Light butcher beeves
of good quality brought 20c per cwt more
than they did a week ago. Sheep, hogs and
calves joined in the upward movement for
the stme reason that beeves have advanced,
namely, light receipts.
There were 52 carloads of cattle on sale
at the East Liberty yards this morning
against 60 loads last Monday. A little over
one-half of the oflerings to-day were from
Chicago, the balance being mainly from
Ohio and Indiana. The quality was not up
to late averase. There were no prime heavy
beeves on sale and very lew light primes.
There is little demand for export cattle
here of late and tor this reason none are

A SHAKE-UP IN PORK
Woke Tblngs Up in Chicago's Provision
Tit Trsterday A Break or Twenty-Are
Below Sulurday The Wheat Market
Very Active.
CHICAGO A shake-up In the pork
woko things up In the provisions to
day. It was claimed that the estimate on
the condition was discouraging to holders,
and when tho announcement was posted
that the receipts of hogs hero amounted to
33,030, or 12,000 more than expected, there
was lively dumping down to $9 85 for May.
The July price went off to $10. Recovery
was slow till before the close, when a portion
of the loss was regained. The break from
the closing figure Saturday to tho bottom to
day was just 25c. A good volume of stop
orders came out, and trading was active,
the local "longs" also unloading. At ono
time the premium on changing over from
May to July widened out 20e, the packers
doing considerable business.
The market reacted In sympathy with
wheat. Lard and ribs were comparatively
steady. In tho absence of foreign advices
business in the wheat pit averaged light
Flnctuations were confined to a moderate
range till toward end of the session. The
lcature of the day's happenings was an in
crease of 873,000 buy supply. When an lu
cre ise seemed to be tnevitable,but whilestill
uncertain in amount, the market was its
weakest, but It recovered soon after tho
Dostlng of the amount. Cold, wintrv weather
in France and England was the latest of
news of an influential character, and Us
coming when the market was In a badly
oversold condition supplied the motive tor a
lively bulge of nearly lc A gain of ljc
since Saturday was established at the c!o-e.
Corn was independently firm and gained o
In the May future. Theimpresston prevailed
that receipts are not llkelv to be heavy for
some time, and the possibility of an increase
proportion beinginspected Into the contract
grade this side of June. Oats ruled easy
because of raiding by bears, and closed o
under Saturday's figure. Freights and Lake
lower. There was a moderate number of
boats, but the demand was not urgent.
Charters to Buffalo were made at IJc lor
wheat, c for corn, and 2c lor barley.
The loading futures ranged as follows, as cor
rected by John M. Oakley A- Co., 45 Sixth street,

A few persons observe and comment upon
n loll in real estate. If they were to do a
little probing and get below the surface of
the market, they would see a different state
of affairs. V hue there is a lull due to
causes beyond man's control, there is no
abatement of interest and no weakness. In
quiring for business property is as urgent
as ever, while home seekers are giving close
attention to the suburbs. A number of
transactions of more than usual interest are
nnder way. The work of subdividing
property, building houses and locating
factories is being carried forward with great
energy. There is a general feeling of con
fidence in the future of the city. Under
these conditions there is reasonable ground
for expecting a more active market with
the return of settled weather and solid roads.

Done for Foreign Account The Open

Nkw York, April IS. The continned
strength, with the increasing activity in the
stock market to-day, showod that the bull
ish feeling among operators is increasing In
Wall street and the attacks of the hears
only served to bring out Inside support.
Richmond and West Point and New Eng
land were special examples of this. Tho
principal seat of the bullish feeling Is again
In tho coal stocks. The particular strong
point in the market to-day, however, was
Western TJnlort, which was held by un
doubted buying for the long account, which
has continued for so long a time and has
steadily though slowly advanced the price
to a figure which it has not seen for a long
time.
The absence of the business usually done
for foreign account and the lack of buying
by the arbitrage brokers was apparently not
felt in the market to-dav. Outside of the
stocks heretofore mentioned there was little
animation or pronounced strength to-day,
though the entire list continued to appreci
ate, but St. Paul and Atchison were among
the leaders in point of activity, while among
the low-priced shares were special move
ments in wheeling and Lake Erie, Minneap
olis and St. !.onis,-LoulsvllIe. New Albany
and Chicago, Like Eric and Western, and a
few otlH-rs less important, Tne opening
was firm nt advances extending to per
cent, while New England and Lacka
wanna were exceptional with losses of
1 per cent and 1J respectively. The
other' stocks immediately advanced
nnd the stocks mentioned recovered large
portion of their opening losses. There was
uo setback to the general advance until
well In the last hour, when realizations ap
peared, with the effect of causing a material
reaction all along tho line and in Lackawan
na, Delaware anil Hudson and Lake Shore
material losses from their best prices. The
lest of the list, however, yielded very
slowly, andin but fe wcases was anymarked
impression made upon prices. The market
closed fairly active and rather heavy under
these sales, bnt generally at something bet
ter than first prices. The final changes are
generally small advances, but while-Wheeling
and Lake Krie preferred Is up IJ4
and Western Union i, Delaware and
Hudson is down IK and" Luckawanna Vi.
Railroad bonds wt-realso active and dis
played a firm temper, but there was the
usual slight changes in the general list and
few features worthy of note. The Rich
mond and West Point bonds felt the effect
of the opposition in the company nnd the 5s
fell away 2 per cent to 5S. No other
changes of note occurred. Government
bonds have been dull and firm. State bonds
have been dull and steady.
The Pott says: As tho beliovers in an early
advance in prices have based their hopes
chiefly on the action of London, It was nat
ural that to-day's stock market, with a holi
day in London, should be dull. It was not,
however, wltnont ioatures of interest. On
the whole, its course during the greater part
of tho day showed flrmness, but with great
irregularity. The bear traders attacked
New England, which waa depressed by an
Tho nominal interest rate was 6 per cent.but
there was more or less shading. Having,
weathered the Easter season, always a dull
period in business and speculation, a revival
can be confidently counted upon.' Bank
clearings were $3,933,023 20, and balances
$713,381 S3. This is the best Clearing House
report for nearly two years, and represents
a large volume of business.
At Boston there is a large surplus of
money, and rates are easier. Philadelphia
reports freer offerings of commercial paper.
At Chicago the opening of navigation has
enabled a large quantity of grain that bas
been held for months to be moved out, and
has released tho money that the banks had
loaned on it. This has increased the loan
able surplus of the banks and helped to
make the market easy. There Is little Im
provement in the demand for loans except
from lumber men, as there is little new
speculation.

Product of Gold and Silver Paper
Metallic Money Circulating.
WAsnntoTOjr, April IS. Mr. E. O. Leech,
tho director of the Mint, has transmitted to
Congress a report on the production of the
precious metals covering the calendar year
1S9L The product of gold from the mines of
the United States aggregated 1,604,840 fine
ounces, of the value or $33,175,000. This is an
increase of $330,000 over the product of the
previous calendar year. The increased
product is due largely to Improved processes
of treatment aud to the increased amount of
gold extracted from lead and copper ores.
Tne nroduct of silver from our own mines
was 58,330,000 fine ounces, of the commercial
value of $57,630,040 or or tho coining value in
silver dollars 01 $75,416,5'5. This is an in
crease of 3,830,000 ounces over the prior
year. The Increased silver product was dne
Frlncipally to the new finds in Colorado and
daho and to the cheapening of the .pro
cesses of smelting lead and copper ores
bearing silver.
The total amount of paper and metallic
money In circulation on January 1, 1892, (ex
clusive of the amount in the Treasury and
its branches) was $1,592,333,620, against 1,528,
694,027 on January 1, 1891. an increase of $63,
799,002. The amount of paper and metallic
money In actual circulation on April 1, 1S92,
was $1,603,641,520.
The product of gold and silver in the
world for tho calendar year 1S91 was f 124,
220 000 gold and $139,175,000 silver.
The product or gold increased In 1891 over
the prior year nearly $5,000,003: the Increase
being principally In South Africa. The pro
duct ot silver increased in 1891 over the prior
year about 8.000.0JO fine ounces. The increase
in the silver product was principally in the
United States, Australia and Bolivia.

SLUGGISH MARKET, WITH VALUES

Philadelphia Ga the Only Thing Showing
Pronounced Strength Street Railways
Still Occupy Back Seats V Broker
Thinks Fears of a Slump Unrounded.
The stock market was sluggish yesterday,
Philadelphia Gas was about the strongest
feature. Investors evidently take stock In
tho report of a bullish statement. Manches
ter Traction was firmer, but the ret of the
street railways were rather wobbly. Du
quesne was scarcely mentioned at either of
the three calls.
A broker remarked: "The market Is dull,
bnt buying movements are so spasmodic
and uncertain that what is precarious to
day may be propitious to-morrow. In any
event, Pittsburg securities are so well
grounded on Intrinsic merit that radical or
prolonged depression Is not seriously ap
prehended, and any material change from
the present status, ic Is considered safe to
say, will be for the better. With something
definite from tho crops, the opening of navi
gation and improvement in the iron market,
of which there are encouraging symptoms,
the chances for a rally will be greatly im
proved." Sales at first call were 90 Birmingham

Country Produce Jobbing; prices
Receipts ot eggs by the Ohio river steam
boats were lighter to-day than was antici
pated by jobbers, but supply is equal to
demand at prices quoted. In tbe early
part of the month eggs were higher here
than at other trade centers, and, as result.
large quantities were drawn to this market
from erery point of the compass. Supply
has caught up to demand, and prices hare
declined about le per dozen in the. past
week. Choice creamery butter is in light
supply, but demand is also light, owing to
largo receipts of country butter. The latter
Is slow at 18c to 20c per pound for the best
offered. Poultry is scarce and firm at an
advance over prices of last weok. Receipts
In this line have fallen off heavily in the
past week. Maple syrup is a drug on the
market, and prices are lower than they have
been for many years.

GOOD ADVICE.
"My boy, I am going to buy you
something which the doctor advised
me to give you. He said a thin
child is always delicate; nobody wor
ries about a plump one. I will-give
you Johann Hoff's Malt Extract to
build you up. I know it will do it,
and then only will I buy you the
stone blocks to build houses with.
You need strength first to become a
man before you build houses." Dr.
Fricke, a well-known practitioner of
Phila., writes: "I have tried Johann
Hoff's Malt Extract not only on my
self but also on a great number of my
patients with marked success in cases
of convalescence, impaired digestion,
for mothers while nursing, for chil
dren, and in general debility, and
have found it to be an excellent rem
edy for building up the system. In
my own case of impaired digestion it
has benefited me more than all other
remedial agents which I have used."
Be sure to obtain the "Genuine"
which must have the signature of
"Johann H01T" on the neck of every
bottle. Eisner & Mendelson Co.,
