The Ueanest Market of the Season From
the Seller's Standpoint
EJIEEP AND SWINE DULL AND LOWER
Orricz op the Dispatch.
Pittsburg, JIosdat, May 2.
From the seller's standpoint to-day's cat
tle markets were the worst of the season in
spite of the fact that quality of offerings
were far above late average. Markets
Opened at East Liberty yards with about 83
carloads on sale against 58 loads last Mon
day and 52 loads the previous Monday.
More than half of to-day's offerings were
from Chicago and Omaha, the balance being
from Ohio and Indiana. A few loads close
to prime, weighing 1,350 to 1,450 pounds,
were ottered, a thing unusual at these yarns
for some weeks past.
While stock was present in larger force
than usual, buyers were few and markets
opened slow at a strong lie below
Iirices of a week ago. So iar as could be
earned there were no sales above ?4 60
with the exception of a prime load to an
Eat End butcher which sold close to a
nickel a pound. Beeves were sold at ?4 CO
which a week ago would have readily sold
a,t$4 85. At the decline markets dragged,
and at noon prospects were that large nam
bers would be sent on for want ot buyers
here. Fiesh cows were In larger supply this
week than last, and all good tock offered
found lendy sale, while common were not
wanted. Sales were reported above, $40
Ter head, and the entire range of maikets
was $.20 to $45.
A Plethora or Veal.
. There were fully 500 calves on sale at the
opening of Eat Liberty markets, and 1,000
head will be to the front on Tuesday. As a
reult of the heay receipts bottom dropped
out or markets and price reached their
lowest point this season The top ot mar
kets was 4c per lb, and only fancy vcalers
reached this figuie.
Sliecrj Maikets opened with about 25
loads on sale against SO loads last Monday,
and L2 loads the previous Monday. ool
sheep are no louger a quantity in Liberty
maikets. The top price of clipped sheep
this morning was 5c, yearlings 5c, and
spring Iambs 8c tier 11). At these leduced
prices markets were draggy.
There were 23 loads of hogs on sale at the
opening with more expected later on. Mar
kets slow at $4 65 to $1 00ns the tange, show
ing no ariation irom price3 ot a w eek ago.
At the Allegheny Tarda.
Receipts of cattle at the Herr's Island
yards were about the same in numbers and
quality as lor some weeks past and markets
,rwcre strong. The beeves offered to-day
" were a shade higher at sources of supply
than they were the week before, particu
larly light and medium weights. Best
heavy Chicagos were sold at $5 10 to $3 25,
medium weights at $4 S5 to $5 00, light
weishts at $4 45 to $4 75 and low grades at
$2 75 to $3 75. Fresh cows sold at a range of

THE MARKETS IRREGULAR,
Wheat, Oats, Pork and Kibi Down Corn
and Lard Up So Radical Change In
Anything The Visible Supply State
ment and Weather Are Factors.
CHICAGO With remarkably light
deliveries of wheat there was a loss of 1
IJic in pi ices to-day. Compared with Satur
day's close, corn to-night is upc; oats ore
off He; pork and ribs show an adiance o
2c, and lard 5c decline. The wheat market
left off at about the lowest prices touched.
The opening had been rather strong, and
prices were about c higher for May and
Uc higher for July than at the
closing figures of Saturday; but tho
tone Immediately weakened, and prices de
clined ic, July suffering tho largest
reduction; tlit-n held steady, and the clo ing
was about lc lower for May and lc lower
for July than Saturday's closing. The early
strength was attributed to the reported se
vere rain storms, which it was thought
would tend to delav firm work, but the
offerings increased till all else was lost sight
or. Tho visible supply statement gave a
little firmer tone to tho mm Let lorn mo
ment. A cold wave was also reported in
the extieme Northwest.
Light nuns weie reported ovor tiie tvesc
and heavy in this vicinity, w lilcli, together
with the State reports making the corn
-eason late in most sections, had the effect
of hardening values, especially July, which
was in good request and relatively firmer
than Jlav. A good deal ol changing took
place, soiling the May and buying the July
at iViz premium for the tormer. Deliv
ciiei in May contracts were moderate, as
expected. The visible decrease of 1,S85,00
bushels was hnrdly as much as generally
anticipated. The market opened J3Jcbot
ter than the closing prices of Satmuoy, and
sold up K. reacted Jc. rallied c, receded
HHC' changed some, and closed at exactly
the opening price.
Oats adancedc early, but later weak
ened and piiccs leceded Jc Tho market
closed easy at about the opening.
In piovisions there was little trading be
yond changing over from May to July. Ribs
wero firm on ome uuving by packers.

TREND OF TRAFFIC.
An Active Movement in Realty Down
the Fort Wayne Boad.
FINE IMPROVEMENTS TALKED OF.
JL Scotchman Sends to Pittshnre for Points
in Office Buildings.
FEATURES OF MONEY AND SPECULATION
The prospect of improved locomotion is
stimulating real estate down the Fort
Wayne Railroad. Lots in Reed B. Coyle
& Ca's Glenmawr plan, at Haysville, are
being picked up at a liAely rate. They dis
posed of 65 during the month of April, and
of 150 since the plan was put in the market
last July. This means 150 houses sooner or
later. About two years aj;o the tract known
as the Bayne farm, situated in Bellevue,
was purchased by a local land company for
5100,000. It has since been subdivided and
christened Sunnyside. A great deal of it
has been sold off, and ji number of fine im
provements will be made during the sum
mer. The inquiry from home-seekers has
received a fresh "impulse in the last few
weeks by the assurance of the completion
by fall ot the Bellevue branch of the Fleas
ant Valley Railway.

city is furnishing points to builders on the
other side of the Atlantic A few weeks
ago Black & Baird received a letter from
David C. Thomson, one of the proprietors
of the Dundee (Scotland) Courier, asking
for information in regard to the principal
office buildiags bete, for use in the con
struction of one for themselves. The in
formation was forwarded, and yesterday
the firm received the following "acknowl
edgment: "The descriptions received are
just what we want They will be very use
ful. The neiv site we have acquired is that
of the present postoffice, which, with the
adjoining site belonging to my paper,
covers about HjOOO square feet. The shape
ot the ground is rather different from that
of the Perguson block, as we have streets
on three sides, and expect to lose little or
no noor space lor an air or light well, ine
new postoffice is to be built in the same
block, feO feet or thereabouts from our site.
I hope to be in Pittsburg before we com
plete our plans."
The Building Becord.
Builders did not turn out in strong force

be surprising Six permits were issued for

Gallagher, frame dwelling on Mifflin street,

A DAT OF SMALL THINGS FROM A
BUSINESS POINT OF VIEW.
Manchester Traction Moves Up Another
Peg, but Not Enough to Salt Holders
.Philadelphia Gas Balled by the Showing
Madn nt tho Annual Meeting.
The stock market yesterday was a small
affair In the amount of business transaotod,
but In other respects it was interesting.
Manchester Traction continued its upward
movement. At the last call It was wanted
at 4 but this bid failed to Induce holders
to let it go. There was very little ohange In
the rest of this group. Central was a trifle
weaker.
Another feature of the afternoon session
was the firmness of Philadelphia Gas. That
reports aud discussions at the meeting had
a favorable effoct upon investors and
traders was shown by a bid of 19 for 500
shares without n favorable response In
fact, there was none of it on the market at
the close of the session. A bid or 19-! was
reported later In the day. The figures will

PKOSPECT1TE SUIT SINKS SUGAR
SHAKES AWAY DOWN.
The London Bolidly Deadens the Market
Cotton Oil Preferred Takes a Jump
Grangers Weak on Reports of Lake and
Rail Rate Cutting.
New York, May 2. The stock market to
day, in tho absence of London ordeis,
owing to the holiday there, was quiet and
lifeless, moving within narrow limits, and
the Industrials supplying the only features
of Epecial note. The market still presents
the same professional character, and the
interest in the ttading in railroad stocks is
confined to n very few stocks.
Reading, New England and Atchison still
retained tho leadet ship in activity, and In
these stocks, with Union Pacific, the only
decided tendency of prices was to be noted
to day. The Industrials, however, furnished
the important movements, but the move
ments in tlioso ohaies were by no means
uniform, and, while Suzar was the general
weak point, tho othcis weie inclined to
show a strong temper, and Cotton Oil pre
fened made advnnces durin ' the day.
Among null oid stocks the Grangers wero
weak, the opening of lake competition and
the probable inciease having no perceptible
influence against the roports of rate-cutting;
but the Coaiersnnd the Gould stocks were
film during most of the time, with no ma
terial movement in any of them. The ad
vices that the Government would proceed
against the Sugar combine In .Philadelphia
w as used with great effect against th e stocks
of the company, and a loss of nearly 3 per
cefit followed.
There was throughout a firm tone in all
dlvidendpa ing stocks, and this served to
rally the market in the l.itp dealings, when
there was also considerable covering of
shot ts: so that the market closed quiet but
firm, with tho great majority ot the list
within small Tractions, either up or down, of
tho finals of Satin day. Thcie was only one
material decline, wnicli was Sugar, with a
loss of 1 per cent, but Cotton Oil pieferred
w as up .
The total sales of stock to-dav were 199,326
shiies, including: Atchison, "14,040; Eile,
3 710,-Noithei'n Pacific pieferred, 4 820; New
England, 14.S70; Reading, 62,600, St. Paul,
6 810; Union Pacific, 4.C20: Western Union,
4,553.
Railt o id bonds wore quiet, but there was a
steady demand for good Issues, which serves
as one of the most powerful deterrents from
selling of long holdings. Thete was the
usual insignificant changes In the majority
of the issues traded in, and the weakness of
a few of the leading speculative issues gave
the maiket at times a weak appearance.
The Atchison incomes and the Richmond
and West Point trust 5 wero the weakest
points nnd they lost 1 at 51i and 2 at 5
respectively. The transactions were only
$1,455,000 of which Atchison incomes inr
nished $241,000 and the R chmond and West
point os $114,000.

Gold Exports Considered a Posltire Ben
efit to the Country.
The week in local monetary circles opened
with moderate activity in the loan depart
ment. Routine lines were well up, especially
depositing. Rates wero unchanged. Bank
clearings wore $2,805,749 66 nnd balances $4S7,
773 57. Certain banks in New York last week
bought bills receivable for six months at 3
pet cent. 1111s is considered an extremely
low rate, and represents the competition
now existing among banks to employ their
funds. A prominent financier points out
tbat the stock of gold is so large and the
money market so easy that the country can
lose the gold going out as well as not; in fact,
the depletion that is going on will be of ben
efit, for It will enable banks and capitalists
to get higher rates for money, and fair rates
for capital aie better for business as well as
for banks.
It is not generally known that under ex
isting laws, the tcdemption and retirement
by theTieasury of the legal tender dicta
tion is impossible. The act of May 31, 1S78,
prohibits any reduction in the amount of
legal tenders then outstanding, $346,681,060,
and although over $33 000,000 have since that
time been redeemed In gold, the amount out
standing remains the same.

THE HOME MARKETS.
THE SUPPLY OF FRESH EGGS SHORT,
AND PRICES ON 1HE ADVANCE.
Poultry Still Scarce and Firm Heavy Re
ceipts of Cereals Give Buyers the Best of
It Wheat, Corn and MUIfeed Quiet
Provisions Unchanged.
Office of The Dispatch, J
Pittsbufo, Mosdat, May 2.
Country .Peoduce Jobbing Prices
The supply of nearby eggs is scurcely up to
demand, and prices ot choice stock are
higher thau they were at the close of last
week. The shortage is due to the fact that
large quantities are now going Into cold
storage. Poultry is still in limited supply
and markets are firm. Both creamery aud
country butter are in liberal supply, and
drift of prices is downward. The same is
true of new vegetables, which are coming id
Iieely 01 late from the far South. Prospects
are that before the week closes prices will
be loner all along tho Hue. Tropical fruits
ate quiet. Receipts of bananas have been
