There were a few better beeves on sale this week than for some time past, but quality in gen eral was no better than late average. Mar kets opened brisk and active on Monday morning at an advance on last week's prices, which on certain desirable grades was equal to 25e per cwt. Light, smooth butcher beeves were particularly firm, owing to their scarcity. At noon Monday came the report from Chicago that receipts there were tbe largest on Vecord, the total betas 31,000 head. On receipt of this news the bottom at once dropped out or markets, and tbe deal ers who had not sold were forced to make concessions which more than wiped ont the advance. There were beeves sold on Tues day at $4 35 which on Monday morninir would have readily brought 54 55. The hhrhot price paid this week 1 a $5 03 per cwt lor 13 head of ctttlo from Green connty, O.. averaging 1.0C0 lb. Good fresh cows wore in short supply and were sold at lust week's prices. Ouo sale was repoi tea above NO 00. Calves were in lars-er snpplv than at nnv time this season. Un to this mornins 1,CM head received, and a sufficient number were due to-dav and to-morrow to swell the totals to 2,000 head. Prices declined iroin $4 40 to H 75 on Monday to $4 00 to $4 10 on Tuesday. The run of sheep and lambs as the largest of the season.

A Lira Stock Flrm'i lieview. Following is report of the week's trans actions by Holmes, Brisks & Co.: We report 53 loads of cattle on tale Mon day, made up of 27 loads Irom Chicago, 6 fioin Omaha and 25 loads from Ohio. The quality was no improvement over last week, hlle there neiea few higher (trades. The peneral nverage quality of butcher grades was common. The market opened lively on desirable grades at stroujr 1020c higher than Monday of last week, while other grades were blow at 10c advance, and about all ere sold before the Chicago report came out, which gave 30,000 there. All who were not sold out np to that report had to take off all the morninc advance to effect a clear ance. Since Monday receipts have been fair, which with light demand had to bo sold at about 20c below the openimr pricps of Monday. If Chicago recelptscontinue heavy the balance of tbe week we can reasonnbly look Jor lower prices next Mondav.

AM Cereals and Provisions Keep One An other Company in Price Changes Bad Weather and Bradstrenfs Cause the Horning Advance in Afternoon De cline. CITIC GC The principal articles dealt In on the Board of Trade acted In unusual unison to-day. In tho morning they marched npward together in price, and In tho afternoon they marched down again In like order, resting at the bottom. There was an unusual amount of bull news nt tho opening. The two great factors were the enormous decrease reported by EradstreeCt In the available supply nearly 5,000,0X) bushels the last week and tho continued bad weather. A cold wave was predicted for tho Dakotas, Minnesota and Nebraska, with a prospect of extending into Kansas, where farm work is said to be held In abey ance by wet weather. This sort of news quickly affected prices here. Shorts were greedy to cover, and as there was not much wheat for salo the competition was brisk, and the maiket lapidly bid up. Mav opened Kc higher nt Plyc and quickly advanced to 82c. July, w liicn sold yester dnv nt 1-lfie discount, went to 82c: but urg ent demands were soon supplied, and as the advnnce brought out free realizing sales and temntcd liberal short selling, the maiket 2 nickly weakened and therowas a gradual ccllno to SiJ-o. though there was a reaction toSPe. The maiket appears to be heavily oversold, and the crowd gets very nervous on all decided bull news. During tho last hour wheat became verv weak, and tho pi craium on July went to c. The early ad vance brought out free realizing and gener ous snort selling, ana tne pneo sicauuy sagged off to SJKc for May shortly before the close, and closed easy at 81c. Corn opened firm in sympathy with wheat because of rainy weather in tho West, It was thought, would lower tho grading of future receipts, and because cables reported strong and higher markets at Liverpool. M-iy opened" unchanged at 41Jc, sold upto42c, fluctuated thereafter with wheat, declining and closing at 41Jc. Oats followed wheat and corn. May opened unchanged at 2Sc, advanced to 2SJic, w eakened to and closed at 2Sc. Hog products were strong and higher In the eaily trading in sympathy with grains and because ot the advanc in the prices of hogs. Shorts also becamo alarmed, tearing that prices would be decidedly advanced on them by packers, and covered freely. When a good advance had been secuicd, tbe pack ers. Instead of pushing tor higher prices, began to sell, with the result that all of the advance was lost, the market closing weak. Julv pork started in nt an advance or 2We at $9 71M. sold tin to $9 P5. weakened nnd closed at the opening price. Lard and ribs fol lowed pork, though in a less marked de gree.

WILKINSBCRG BAKE BEGINS BUSINESS Architectural taste is not wanting on the Northside. Mr. Harvey D. Denny has just completed and occupied a residence on Ilidge avenue, above Irwin, which ranks with the finest in the county. The walls are of atone, and the interior is finished throughout in a choice variety of hard woods, that of one room being white ma hogany, something comparatively new here. One ol the most striking Joatures is a mag nificent stained glass window in the hall. Not much inferior to this will be the resi dence ol Captain Lawman on Perrysville avenue and Federal lane, which is in course or construction. The outside finish will be in plaster or cement, two examples of which are to be seen in the East End. Hard wood will be used in the interior. Another fine dwelling has been started by Mr. Oreen in the Circle on Perrysville avenue. These and other houses recently referred to show that advanced architecture is becoming a prominent feature of Allegheny City homes. Kesnlt of Procrastination. An Interesting incident js connected with the sale of the Berger property, renorte'd in this column yesterday. Several ladies wanted it for a special purpose, and bad secured an option running till 1 o'clock on Monday. Tney did not report at tbe office of the agent until 2 o'clock. They were then too late. The property had been sold to Mr. Curry. The moral is obvious. When you see a good thing iu real estate and are in a position to act, strike a bargain at onoe, or the other fellow will get ahead of you. The ladies are now negotiating for another property, and it is safe to say they will keep all appointments. Procrastina tion is responsible for a great many busi ness misfits. Not long ago a Smith field street merchant bargained for a prominent corner, but lost it through neglect for a few hours to put up the purchase money. Started With a Flourish. Yesterday was a red-letter day in the business life of "Wilkinsbnrg. The First National Bank ot that place was opened for business. There were no formal cere monies, but the event was witnessed by a large number of prominent people. Officers and directors were on hand, and went to work as if they had been to the manner born. The first depositor received quite an ovation. The necessity for the bank being apparent, its success is almost assured. It starts with a capital of 550,000. The stock is almost entirely in local hands. Officers are: President, A. W. Duff; "Vice Presi dent, T. D. Turner; Cashier, P. J. Pierce. Directors, J. Weinman, W. T. Mitchell, W. C L-yne and Urs. H.

One of tho Wires The Information you seek in regard to the prospect of an electric road from Lawronceville to East Liberty and beyond by way of Morningside avenue. cannot be furnished with sufficient dcnnlte ness to be of any value. Such a thing has been talked of, but nothing more. John I. Bailey sold outside the Exchange yesterday200 shares of Pleasant Valley stock at 25J tho top price for soveral weeks. There was very little of unlisted Traction stock on lap yesterday. It is in strong hand. A prominent director of the Xorthern Pacific Railroad Company states that the usual dividend will be paid at the usual time.

AT Philadelphia Gas Plays Fast and Loose With the Traders, but True to Its Record at the Last Moment A Few Strong; Fcatnres. Although stock trading was dnll and un profitable yesterday, tho market had a few interesting leatures. Philadelphia Gas was one of these. It opened strong, contrary to its usual course Just after a statement, and traders hoped it would hold out. But they were disappointed. It broke at the after noon session. After call it was a trifle stronger. Manchester, Birmingham and Cen tral Traction improved their position. Dn quesne and Luster were steady, and Switch and Pipeage weaker. There were no special changes in other directions. The first call was a whitewash, the first for some time, but barelv escaping on several occasions. The second was bnt little better. Only two sales were made. One hundred hares of Philadelphia Gis changed bands at 19. and 15 at 19& Alter call, eight shares of Pipeage brought 12. There were three salos at the third call 10 Luster at 9, 100 Manchester Traction at 40, and 80 Central Traction nt 29. Atter call 200 shares of Phila delphia Gas were picked up at 19, nnd 100 Birmingham Traction at 27. Bids and offers at each call follow: ZXrHAN-QE STOCKS. THIRD CALL. B. A.

Tbe New Rebellion In the Trust's Ranks a Weakening Factor London Drives nt Its Favorite, Erie Transactions In Bead ing nnd Atchison Lirgp. Xkw York, April 27. The stock market to-day was a short repetition of that of yes terday, and reflected only tho apathy of operators and tho prevailing temper among tile professionals and traders. Prices to-day were weak from the opening to the close, while, a? was to be expected from the lim ited volutno of business, fluctuations, as a rule, were without speelal significance. A few stocks were made the special marks for bear attacks, however, and three shares showed both more animation and wider range of prices. The attack upon Rock Island which was started last evening was continued nnd a further loss of ! per cent followed, while the announcement of the breaking off of the negotiations lor the control of rivnl prop erty gave another opportunity to sell Cord age down. The decline was equally as large ns that in kock isiann. The other Grangers, and especially Burlington, suffered with Rock Island; bnt while such stocks as Read itig and Atchison rolled up a large total of tiansuctibns, their changes in quotations were slight. The attitude of London on the market at present has a marked effect upon the policy of the protessiemal element, and sales by Hint center of its favorites, including Erie, gavo much encouragement to the diivent values and prevented any recovery of note. The first hour saw most of the lowest prices reached, but rallies were feeble, even after the lifting of the picssiire to sell, nnd the closo was fairly active and heavy at or near the lowest prices of the day. The final changes are almost invariably losses.but for small fractions In most cases, while Rock Island lost i. Cordage 1, and Burlington 1 per cent. Tho total sales of stocks to-day were 127, GS6 shares, including: Atchison, 12.C05: Erie, 10,045: Xoi thnrn Pacific preferred, 6 570; New England, 3.250: Reading, 17,250; St. Paul, 6,300; Union Pacific, 3.S50. The railroad bond market partook of the same character ns-the stock markot to-day. and showod a drooping tendency through out, though, as usual, only n lew of the lead ing issues displayed any animation or movement. The Atchison incomes were ngaln the special feature of the trading, and scored a material decline, dropping steadily from Sb to 53JJ, while their sales reached $29S 0C0, ont of n total ot $1,118,000 for the day. Chesapeake and Ohio 4s, Chicago and East Illinois 5s and Rio Grande Western lsts were aisopiominentin the dealings, but no other sharp decline occurred, and prices are all lower this evening.

Ofvtce o The Dispatch. I Prrr3mjRQ, Wednesday, April 27. Country Produce Jobbing prices The egg market is very firm at the advance already noted. Keceipts have bees much lighter the past few days than was antici pated by dealers, and supply of first-class stock is scarcely up to demand. Sales are reported Je above our quotations. New Ohio cheese is on the market in small quan tities, and prospects point to large receipts in the near future. Southern vegetables are in liberal supply and trade is quiet, with a downward tendency. Old vegetables of all kinds are very dull, and the time is near at hand when they will be things of the past. Tropical fruits are dull and slow. Bananas are in bountiful supplv, and markets are favorable to the buyer. The qualltv or straw berries offered .this week shows improve ment over last week, and as a result prices are a shado better. Creamery and country roll butter are steady at prices quoted.
