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. Sheep were sold at a
range of 4c to 5c per lb, yearlings at 4c to
6c. and spring lamb at Gz to lUc Hogs
About 27 loads on sale. Markets slow and
dull with $1 S3 as top price. Light weights
w ere In best demand.
Allegheny Stock Yard..
The supply of cattle at Ilcrr's Island
Yards was a fair average both as regards
number and quality. Markets opened slow
and last week's prices were barely main
tained. Best heavy Chlcagos were quoted
at $5 10 to $5 23; medium weights at $4 85 to
$5 00, Hjrlit weights at $4 25 to $4 T5, and low
grades at i2 75 to $3 73. Fieshcows were
slow with repoited sales at a range of $23 00
to $35 00 rer head, fcunnlv of rnlves irns
large, but demand was active and an ad
vance on last week's -was obtained. Trices
ranged from 3fc to 5c per lb. Bulls, stags,
dry cows and heifers were quoted at 2c to
3)jC per lb., with few on sale.

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

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

The Greenfield Avenue Railway Beady to
Bejfin Business To-Day.
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.
Yesterday. Building Permits.
Eighteen permits were Issued yesterday
for 19 improvements, the cost of all being
estimated at $22,535. Those or most im

MOlfETABT TENDENCIES.
Plenty ot Fnnds and Low Rates the Salient
Features.
Tho week in local financial circles started
off at a moderate pace. There was a fair de
mand for discounts at customary rates.
-Routine business was a good average. 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. Avery strong Boston dry
goods merchant was recently offered a largo
amount of money on five months' timo at 3
Jier centand the'loan was refused. The ma
orlty of call loans outstanding there are at
2J4 percent.
At New Tork money on call wnB easy at

A SWEET DAY
FOR THE SUGAR STOCKS ON
STREET TESTERDAY.
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
