THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH,' TUESDAY, MAT 10, 1892. 11 LOCAL LIVE STOCK. Eeceipls of Cattle Much Lighter This Week Than Last and BETTER PRICES WERE OBTAINED. Supply of lifht Tidj Butcher Beeves Falls Short of Demand. SHEEP AXD BWIXE WEAK AND LOWER. Office of Tni DisrATCH, ) Tittsbueo, Moxdat, May 9. t Markets opened Monday morning at East Liberty stock yards with C5 loads of cattle on sale, against S3 loads last Monday. About one-half of the offerings to-day were from Chicago and Omaha. The balance were, in the main, from Ohio and Indiana. Quality of cattle offered to-day was much below that of last week. The best on sale were considerably short of prime. Buyers were present in somewhat larger force than last week, and this lact, with the light run, gave strength to markets at a shade better prices than were obtained a week ago, when the large run demoralized trade. So far as could be learned there were no sales above $4 50 this morning, but prime beeves would have readily commanded 50c per cwt more if they had been on sale. The sup ply of light tidy butcher beeves, such as our markets require most, was not up to de mand, and this grade of cattle was 10 to 15c higher to-day than it was a week ago. Fresh Milkers Plenty. The run of iresh cows was much larger to-day than it was a week ago. Last Mon day there were not over 50 head on sale. This morning there were fully double that number on sale. Good stock was in good request, but all low grades were dull and slow. A sale of nine head at $otas re ported, and tlio range -was $25 to $40 per head. Demand for fresh cows lias subsided somewhat in the past week or two. Calves aie still too numerous, but prices were a shade firmer to-day than they were nueekazo. A few hunches were sold at 4c, t Inch was Jc better than last week's tup price. The range of markets was 3c to c per pound. silecp Markets opened at Liberty with 25 loads on sale and the movement was slow at barely last week's prices. Wool sheen aie no longer a quantity.

THE WESTERN STORMS Caused a Flurry In the Chicago TVheat Tit Everj thing Tended to Forco Up Prices Corn lVa TVorked the Opposite IVay. CHICAGO. Every storm out West had a counterpart to-day on the Chicago Board of Trade. Excited operators and ragged prices were the lesult. Wheat started with strength enough for a 2-cent advance, but lert off with a modest Kgain on Saturday's closing price. Corn did exactly the reverse of wheat. It had even a wilder beginning and Jumped upand down like mad, tho total advanco being 2cents. but the closing was within c of the top. pork went skyward I7&C. In wheat tho bulging was attributed to the unseasonable weather all oyer the country, but particularly in the Northeast where cold, wet and snowy weather bus delayed seeding and tho season is late. The wheat market mav also have worked in sympathy with corn. The visible i - . -i.. -i i i - y. ' 'I'jTdnTrlii i i niijftii M ii n M'ulT i ti,cmW'tlmmM(IMmliimWMMamnmmMlWmkWnMBM 1M rn-r hm-i supply also showed a big decrease. Early In the day a much larger decrease than re ported was calculated upon and this helped the market somo. Later the market cased on on free speculative offerings, Influenced some by moi e favorable reports or the grow ing crop in California. Illinois and Michigan. A report credited to tho New York Mail, say ing that in a few days Russia will issue an edict permitting the export of wheat, and that tho exports of corn and oats is already pormittid, helped to Increase the weakness. Thcro was an impression also that Dodge's report, duo to-morrow afternoon, would show an improvement in the status of win ter wheat. July opened c no at 83?ic, sold toc, toS3c, to Uc. to 82Sc,to8S5c, clog ing at S3c bid. The rally at the close was due to the fact that the latest dispatches from Northwest and Southwest showed no Im provement from the drenched condition of tho whole wheat territory. , For corn It was almost a case of buy it first and inquire tho price afterward. May, which on Saturday closed at 44Jfc, was being excitedly bid for at 46c and with none for sale under 47c. Somo few sales ai e record ed at as high as 47Kc and a good many at 47c. In July sales took place simultaneously at the opening nt from 42c up to 43c, nnd in a second or two buyers were plentiful at 43Uc From the latter price up to 4c took onlv about Ave minutes of exciting trade. It was rumored that elevator companies alone tho railroad have discovered that much corn intended for May contracts has been so dampened by tho late excessive moistute that it shows signs of mold and will under no circumstances grade contract. July opened a clear l$c UP nt 43Kc, sold to 44X$c, lenoted to 43c, up to 44c, to 43c. to S?fc to 435,0, to 44c at, which it closed. Oats advanced with tho other grains on the bad weather reports, the market ruling about lc higher early in the session, but subsequently weakening. The close was at Jic above Saturday's figures. Traao was ac tive, especially atthe opening, when countrj' orders poured in. The provision market started strong at a slight advance in sympathy with the bullish feeling in grain markets. When a very sharp advance in corn lollowed, provisions made a further gain. There was some buying by scalpers who thought a gen eral advance might be in order. Packers and others Interested in establishing a higher range of vnloes helped bid prices up. Tho chief influence was higher priced corn. Lnrd nnd ribs each advanced 10c, closing at the highest. The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected liv John SI. Oakley A Co., 45 Sixth street, member's of the Chicago Board of Trade: Open- High- Low- Clos- Abticles. Ing. est. est. lug.

FEATURES OP MONEY AND SPECULATION A gentleman who yesterday returned from a visit to Charleroi expressed surprise at the rapid growth of that place. He re marked: "It is running ahead of Du quesne. There is more building and more enterprise. It contains a number of wide awake people who are making the most of their opportunity. But every town in the Monongahela valley is forging ahead, and land is being bought up on all sides." TVheels May Tnrn To-Dny. It is expected that the Greenfield avenue railway will begin operations to-day, the change of grade of Greenfield and Second avenues having been completed yesterday. This line, as is well known, is a branch of the Second avenue read, and extends irom Second avenue to the bridge at the main entrance to Schenley Park, a distance of about 4000 feet. It will land passengers within a few feet of the menagerie. The impression is abroad that double fare will be charged. It was authoritatively stated yesterday that the trip from the city to the park by this route will cost only five cents. A New Transfer Station. "Work will begin this week on the iron bridge for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at the intersection of Greenfield and Second avenues. This improvement is to enable the railroad to transfer passengers to the Junction road to make connection with the Pittsburg and Western, by which they will save 40 miles of travel. To carry out this object a large transfer station will be erected at the foot of Greenfield avenue, which will not only facilitate the business of the rail road, but greatly improve the approach to scneniey Park, and tnus increase its value to home-seekers.

Bank clearings were $2,314,276 86, and balances, $415,812 22. At Chicago the feature of the money mar ket Is the readiness with which some, or the largo borrowers take up their loans, and tho apparent reluotance on the part of others to botrow an Increased line even nt the low rates. There is more money in the banks than thero is domand for at present, or is likely to be used in the near future. At Philadelphia demand for money Is so light that institutions 'paying interest on depos its contemplate reducing rato of interest from 2 to 1 per cent. Rates on call loans show noimprovement.and good commercial paper sells low.

WALL A Boom Along That Line New Yorlt's Stock Feature More Animation Than Usual Throughout Liquidation of Long in- a Few Cases. New York, May 9. The stock market to day exhibited in tho main rather more ani mation than usual of late, and while prices were not advanced, except in a few cases, there was a much better feeling in the room which was reflected in decreased sales for thoBhortaccount, and rather more buying on a limited scale. There was considerable liquidation of long accounts in a few stocks, notably, Omaha and Rock Island, but the in fluence of these declines was offset by more encouraging advics from London, where more interest n as manifested in American stocks and higher prices established. The Industrials, however.occupied a more commanding position in tho market than they have for somo time, and the strength in those properties gavo the list a stronger appearance than the course of prices among railroad stocks entitled it to. Tho strength in tho Industrials was manifested principal ly in Sugar and Chicago Gas. The manipula tion of suprar took tho upward turn to-day, and a portion of its late material losses was iccovered, while the advanco in Chicago Gas was based on a more substantial ba&is. The general list lemained quiet nnd fluctu ated within the usual narrow limits, exhib iting after a stromr opening rather a re actionary temper at first, but later develop ing a Anner tone iu response to the move ment among the leaders. The stiength in Hocking. Yalley and Wheeling and Lake Eiie was due In largo measure to the rumor noted, but the others ifalled to score any marked change. The market steadily appre ciated in the afternoon, and the close was lalrly active and Arm to sti onjj at about the best prices of the day, though inmost cases only slightly changed from tho opening. Susar, however, is up 2, Hocking Valley 2, Chicago Gas 24,LackawannaanaLouts vule and Nashville each i, and other leadeis fractional amounts. Rj.il roadbonds displayed the usual amount of activity with a continued steady demand for mortgages, but without material ad vance In the majority of the list. Among the newly active bonds the Chicago and In diana Coal lsts were prominent, and Chesa peake and Ohio up ll, but the usual leaders were rather quiet and no movement of im portance took place amoiig them. Tho total transactions were $1,795,000 with the bonds mentioned leadinz in the dealings. The total sales of stocks to-day were 350, 834 shares, including Atchison, 6,230; Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western, 9 300; Dela ware and Hudson, 4.999; Erie. 11,815; Hock imr Valley, 16,432; Louisville and Nashville, 9,400; Northwestern, 4,150: Northern Pncifle pfd, 12,810; New England, 7,045; Reading, 75, 100:' St. Fun!, 15 300: St. Paul and Omaha, 10,380; Union Pacific, 4,100; Western Union 3,363.
