Better Market Than last Week From
Seller's Standpoint
SHEEP AKD SWINE ARE ALSO HIGHER
Oftice of The Dispatch,
Pittsburo, .Monday, May 16. (
At the East Liberty yards there was an
improvement all along the line of live stock,
as compared with last week. Butchering
cattle, fresh cows, calves, sheep and hogs
all brought better prices than a week ago.
The better prices were mainly due to light
receipts, as reports from other centers indi
cate weakness of markets and lower prices.
Markets opened at East Liberty stock
yards with 60 carloads of cattle on sale
against 65 loads last Monday, and 83 the
week before. In to-day's offerings there
were about 47 carloads from Chicago. The.
avenge quality of offerings was much be
low thai of last week. There were no prime
heavy beeves on sale, and few light primes.
Buyers were present in small force at the
opening, but more were expected later on.
Markets opened active at 10c to 15c per cwt
advance on last Monday's prices for all
butcher beeves. A carload of 1,175 lb cattle
was sold at Jt 35. There were none on sale
worthy to bring above $t 50. From the
seller's standpoint markets ere decidedly
better than they were a week ngo, notwith
standing the lact that average quality was
much lower.
Fresh Cows Higher.
Receipts of fresh cows were the lightest
of the season. There were only 27 head on
sale against more than 100 head last Mon
day. A sale of seven head at $38 per head
was reported. One shorthorn Durham of
extra duality was sold at $63. Receipts of
calves wore light and markets were 50c per
cwt higncr man a wecK ago, wun oc as top.
Sheep Markets opened with 20 carloads
on sale against '25 loads last Monday. Good
sheep were in good demand nt 10c to 15c better
prices than were obtained a neck ago,
while interior grades were steady at former
prices. Wool sheep are nolonger a quantitv
In our local markets. Ton price of clipped
sheep was $3 45, and of spring lambs 9c
per lb.
Hogs There were 17 loads on sale at the
opening, with a Jew more expected later
on. Demand was active at $5 CO to $5 05
for tops. At Chicaco receipts to-day were
4(,0".0, or 7,000 above the estimate, and at
Buffalo receipts wpto more than four times
ns large ns here. Pittsburg pioved to be the
highest market in the land to-day, owing to
light receipts.
At the Allegheny Stock Tnrils.
At the Heir's Island yards roceipts ot cat
tle were larger than usual and the demand
was light. Markets opened sluggish at a de
cline of 23c per cwt from last Monday's prices.
Best heavy Chicagos were quoted at $4 5 to
$5 00; medium weights at $4-00 to $1 75: light
weights at $4 00 to $4 50. and low grades at
$2 50 to $3 50. Prospects near noon were
that a number of cattle would be left over
for want of buyers. Fresh cows wcro dull,
no sales being reported. One drover reported
that he had traded a cow for a watch worth
$25, and would be willing to trade another
for a yellow dog. Calves were active and
firm at higher prices than last week. The
range was 4c to 5Ko per lb.

Cansed Surprise In Chicago Yesterday
Faidridge the Best Individual Buyer
Cudalij Was a Big Seller A'Signal Ser
vice Prediction Helps Prices.
CHICAGO The chief surprise to tho
wheat trade to-day was tho narrowness of
the market. The change in the weather
map was a very radical one and naturally
caused lower prices, but the price this even
ing is only Jfc undcrSaturday's final figures.
Corn was relatively weaker than wheat, and
is lie down. Pork is 5c on", but lard and ribs
are about unchanged.
Pardridge was about the best individual
buyer of wheat, evidently covering shorts.
Logan & Co. had liberal buying orders, but
the crowd generally sold freely, both in the
way of getting rid of long property and sell
ing short. Wright, who has been a vigorous
bear all along, seemed to be -none the less so
at the decline. Cudnhy was reported to hav
sold 500,000 at S0J81c. The fl mil footing of
the report, a decrease of 1,079,000 bushels,
was within the scono of the popular esti
mate, ana uau utile encot wuen posteu. va
'
luth figures gave the market a little bulge
and raised hopes of a larger decrease, and
this caused a little easier feeling when the
result was known. An offsetting influence
was the Signal Service prediction that an
other general rain, reaohing as faras Chi
cago, will prevail over the West on Wednes
day. The opening for July was c lower
than Saturday's closing, and the market de
clined Ho more, rallied 9,c, receded c,
ruled steadv and the closing was about 2c
lower than Saturday.
There was not that selling pressure in corn
that was expected with the Improvement In
the weather. A collapse was so generally
predicted with these conditions that the
change was largely discounted. The July
price started on a break of about lc from
Saturdav, lost anothor fraction, mndo a fair
recovery- at once, and held in narrow limits
the remainder of the day.
For oats, the weakness and decline in
other grains had a depressing effect, and
opening sales were at i? decline. After
prices receded a shade more a stronger feel
ing developed and prices advanced KJ.
but receded slightly, and closed with a net
lossofHSKe.
Provisions opened lower on a heavy run
of live hogs and lower prices, and a further
decline was precipitated by the commission
men selling and tho weakness in wheat and
corn on reports of fine weather. Shortly
afterward the market firmed up slightly on
a few of the "shorts" covering. There was
veiy little doing, nnd the closing was from
steady to firm nil around at about tho out
side prices of the day.
Vessel room was in good demand, and
rates held steady at 2c for wheat and lc
for corn to Buffalo, and Hc for oats to Port
Huron.

THE TREND OF TRADE.
A New System of House Building In
troduced Into Pittsburg.
GOOD EXAMPLES IN THE EAST END.
Local Speculation Increases in Volume, but
Some Figures Reduced.
AK0THERG00D LIST OP NEW BUILDINGS
Pittsburg is as full of new ideas as of
business. It has been mentioned that a
Scotchman has sent here for suggestions to
be utilized in an office building to be
erected in Dundee. Several American
cities have done the same thing. Pittsburg
promises to become as noted for its archi
tecture as for its iron and glass.
"Within a year a new scheme in house
construction has been devised and carried
out in this city which is attracting consider
able attention in other places. Illustra
tions of this important innovation may be
seen in the cementine houses of the Messrs.
Chess. Steel fireproof lathing is fast
ened to the usual framework of wood,
and covered with German Portland cement
in an artistic manner. The materials and
process are simple. The effects are artistic
and pleasing.
Examples of the System.
One of the houses referred to, that of Mr.
"Walter Chess, on "Wightman street, is after
designs by Mr. Sauer, and represents a rather
conventional suburban type in its general
makeup. The interest lies in its admirable
representation of rock-faced range work,
produced by clever modeling of the cement
Tliis is colored to a pleasing warm brown.
The hardness and durability of these cement
walls seem beyond question.
Very different is the style of the pair
of houses of Mr. H. B. Chess, also
done in cementine, on Aiken ave
nue, Shadyside. These are from de
signs furnished by Mr. F. J. Cooper.
The walls are produced as in the other case
by high grade Portland cement application
to the same steel fabric, but the treatment
is quite different. The large surfaces are
left flat in coarse sand finish, and decorative
effect is secured from a free use of mold
ings, brackets, etc, all executed in cement
in the same way as the body of the struct
ure. Even the window heads, sills and
jambs are so produced. The cement has
been left gray in tone, and in their hand
some setting of the old carefully preserved
maples these houses present a decidedly

nandsorae Interior Envois.
Interiors are equally interesting: "Wood
trimming about doors and windows is
largely dispensed with and the full color
value of the decorated wall comes up to
these openings. The walls meet ceilings in
all the rooms in graceful elliptical coves
springing from picture molding which
seems part of the wall. The troublesome
inside shutter question is cleverly met by
screens which slide sideways into the hol
low walls, out of sight and entanglement.
It is needless to say the whole interior

As a whole, these structures present the
results of an intelligent and successful effort

CROWDED UP TRICE IN THE NEW
YORK MARKET YESTERDAY.
The Balls Kept Ont at First, bnt Rallied

Safe Compnny Preferred for Sale News
of the Day.
New York, May 16. The stock market to
day exhibited a firmer temper in the main
than during the latter part of last week, but
the improvement was largely due to the
entrance of the foreign element into the
market as a buyer. The bears were inclined
to be as aggressive as over, ont the appear
ance of foreign buying orders in tho market
not only checked tho decline, but rallied the
cntlro list, including the specially weak
points of the last few days. Tho
generally accepted opinion is that, owing
to the extent to which the bears
have pushed their advantage, things nre
ripe for a rally of some proportions In the
near future. The undoubted heavy demand
for good railroad mortgages and the prevail
ing and prospective ease In the money mar
ket of tho chief (financial centers renders
any bear demonstrations unlikely of success
exceptor a transient nature, and the excep
tionally high prices to which a few special
ties have been pushed have failed to develop
any disposition of their holders to part with
them. The crop advices have not been the
most encouraging, but the season is not yet
far enough advanced to base any extended
operations upon them, especially as a few
favorable days would wipe out the differ
ence between this nnd last year.
The market to-day was still nnrrow, but
yielded only to organized pressure while
the strength of the grangers was a most en
couraging feature, nearly offsetting the
weakness in Hocking Valley and Sugar, The
improved condition of n Talis in London will
tend to still further strengthen tho disposi
tion ofEnglish investors to deal In American
securities. In this connection and particu
larly as bearing on American industrial
combinations of strong standing comes the
announcement that the Herring-Hnll-Marvin
I announcement t
I Safe CompnnyS percent preferred stock has
been withdrawn from the market where it
has been but a few days, because the offer
ings were in excess or the amount of stock
for sale. The lists for the common stock
will close on Thursday next, because of the
already heavy orders.
The bears renewed their attacks after the
London buying was over, and again suc
ceeded in making a marked impression
upon Northern Pacific preferred and Hock
ing Valley, but tho rest of the market was
well held nnd Inter a substantial rally oc
curred, which placed all the loading stocks
on a higher level nnd the final changes show
some material gains. The close was quiet,
but steady to firm though generally at in
significant changes for the day.
Railtoad bonds were less animated and
showed only slight fluctuations, 'though
Reading Convertibles are up 1 at 63. The
transactions reached $1,56J,000 with no
special activity in any portion.
The total snles of stock to-day were 230,772
shares Including: Atchison, 5,780; Chicago
Gas; 11,530: Delaware Lackawanna and West

Stocks and Bonds Absorb Considerable of
Chicago's Idle Capital.
The local money market .yesterday was
quiet, with no changes in conditions from
Saturday except a slightly better demand
for call loans. Rates were easy at 5G per
cent. Bank clearings were $2,753,585 SO and
balances $572,969 14.
The Chicago Journal of Commerce says of
the market there: "The feature of the money
market Is the continued ease, with offerings
in excess of the demands, which are only
fair. The market for call loans Is weak, and
loans have been made as low as 3 per cent.,
but the general rate was 3 to i. Commercial
paper Is readily taken, and there Is unusual
activity in local securities and bonds at ad
vanced prices. The feature of the weekwas
the placing of the $4,000,000 stock nnd $2,500,
000 of bonds of the new consolidated pack

Packing Company all being taken nt par."
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at 1 to 2 per cent; last loan, 2 per cent;

The Drygoods Marker.
New York, May 16. The drygoods market
opened with good encouragement as regards
the weather, but the demand was irregular
at first hnnds and quiet with Joobors. With
business largely accomplished for autumn as
well ns for tho current season little more is
expected than further developments for
noxt season. In that direction there was
more doing in plain cottons, chiefly for
water transportation, but there were no in
dications of an immediate general move
ment. Agents have expected to do more at
this time, but buyers nre inclined to wait
awhile yet, perhaps until June. Yet an
aotlve.demand is liable to spring up at any
moment.
New Chnrch at Sharpsburg.
The English Lutheran Church building
of Sharpsburg has grown too small and a
new one is to be erected. The Episcopal
Society may purchase the old structure.
An honest druggist will invariably
tell you that the genuine Johann
HotTs Malt Extract is the standard
of the world.
1 st. It is recommended by the
medical fraternity throughout the civ
ilized world.
2d. It i$ now and has been for
thirty years used by the royalties of
Europe. (Write for pamphlets giving
fac-similics of appointments from
kings and emperors).
3d.- It is a standard remedy for
indigestion, general debility, weak
nesses of women, coughs, hoarseness
and catarrhal affections in short, it
is the first and best nutritive tonic.
Be sure-and obtain the genuine.
