rnTSBtmo, Wednesday, April 27. 1
The total receipts of cattle at the East
Liberty yards for the week were 68 car
loads, against 60 loads last week. 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. There w ero co to 0 loads
offered durinjr the week and common snides

per en t lower than a week hro. Top price of
sueep Ji 23; lamDs.VJS .o.nnu only a lew inncy

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. Wb

lleccints of hosrs were fair on Sinndnr.
The demand was lisht and trade slow at
pi ices about samoas the close of last week.
Since Monday receipts 1 ave been very
light and trade dull at Mondav prices, with

ilie week. We quote select tops $4 S54 00:

mand buyers were plow to make offers even
at lower prices, bin flnallv setttled on about

RISE AND FALL TOGETHER.
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. The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

FEATURES OF TRADE.
High-Class Dwellings Becoming
Feature of tbe Northside.
WHITE MAHOGAKY INSIDE FINISH.
Procrastinating Ladies Let a Bargain Slip
Through Their Fingers.
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. S. Pershing and J. E.
Eigg.
Yesterday's BnlTdlng Permits.
Builders are prosecuting work with mnch
energy. Yesterday was a good day with
them. Seventeen permits were taken out
representing 25 improvements, all estimated
to cost S40.554. The most important are
these: W. A. Thomas, frame dwelling on
Summerlea street, Twentieth ward, $4,000;
John McCulley, three brick dwellings on
Fortieth street, Seventeenth ward, 55,744;
Thomas Orr, brick dwelling on Bedford

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

THREE BIG STOCKS RAIDED.
ROCK ISLAND, CORDAGE AND BUR
LINGTON LEAD THE DECLINE.
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.

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.

devoted to business there was considerable
trade, and the placing of some orders for
