-CATTLE TKADJ IN BOOTH AMERICA
OrFici-OF Thb Dispatch,
, PrrTbBURQ, TUESDAY, Jane 28.
There has been no time in the history of
the canned meat industry when trade was
anything like as lively as it is now. The
picnic season is at its height, and the de
mand for outing meats shows that a large
proportion of the population is taking to
the woods. A representative of the lead
ing Chicago firm which makes a specialty
in canned meats said in An interview yes
terday: "We are so far behind our orders in the
line of canned beef, that I am afraid we
will not be able to catch up this season.
The foreign demand has been so great this
summer that the Chicago house that I rep
resent has not been able to furnish one
half the sapplies we need for our trade.
AVe are now 5,000 cases or 100,000 pounds
behind in our orders, and at the very best
we will not be able to catch up under six
weeks. The unprecedented demand has
stimulated prices and an advance of 15
cents a dozen for canned beef will be es
tablished this week. The present price is
$1 60 per dozen oi two pound cans."
Canned tongue and chipped beef are pre
pared in one pound cans. The former will
be advanced 15c and the latter 10c per
dozen in the next day or two. The price of
canned tonpue is now $2 75 per dozen and
chipped beef$l SO per dozen.
The increased volume or trade over last
year, is not less than 100 per cent thus Jar,
with the best of the season yet to hear
from. Within a few j ears the picnic season
closed abo'it the beginning of September,
while now it holds up well Into October.
Among the new features of the canned meat
industry la the attachment of a key opener
to each can.
The Dressed Beef Industry.
The number of Chicago dressed beeves
handled by the butchers of this city will not
fall far short of 600 at this time when de
mand for meat is at its lowest point. A few.
n eeks azo the total reached 100 above this
figure. A fair estimate places the amount
of Chicago dressed beef which is sold in
the Diamond markets at one-half the total.
Thereare now'tbree Chlcatro beef firms ren-
resented by agents in this citv, two of winch
have storage houses in Allegheny as well as
Pittsburg.
A salesman of one of these houses said yes
terday: "I have on my books the names of
210 butchers that I supply. These butchers
are for the most part in the two cities, but a
number are located in the surrounding
towns. We are now leceiving about seven
car loads of dressed cattle every week with
SO head to the car, and have received and
sold as many as nine car loads per week this
year."
Dressed beeves are selling at a range of
5Jc to c per pound.
South American Cattle.
The current number of the Chicago Side
and Leather furnishes the following facts:
"South American advices bring the follow,
ing later reports concerning slauchtering
operations on the Eiver Plate and Bio
Grande, to which are added our usual com
parative statistics for the three years preced-

Comparing the above figures with the
position as it stood on Mav 15. the fact is es
tablished that during the last half of May of
this year the total slaughter fell off, as
acalnst that for the same period of last year,
although the aggregate thus far for the pres
ent season is still ahead of last year's by
19,000 head. When a comparison is made
with 1890 and 1891, however, the" latter half
of May of this year is shown to ha vo been
considerably in the lead; thus, whereas on
May 15 last the slaughter for the season was
behind that of lS90by 10,400 head, it closed
the month 49.700 head in the van. And while
on May 15 last the total as apainst 1S89
showed an excess of 60,700 cattle In favor or
1892, the table above siven demonstrates that
this quantity had been Increased to 110,100

SHORTS BADLY RATTLED.
All New Favors Balls and Everything Is
TJp Prospects That the Batch Bill
Can't Be Passed This Season Bad Crop
nd Cable Reports.
CHICAGO There was more activity and
decidcly more strength in all of the pits dur
ing most of the session of the Hoard of Trade
to-day,but near the close there was a general
weakening all along the line, and final fig
ures show only moderate gains. Nearly all
of the early news was of more or less bullish
character, the shorts becoming rattled, and
in their efforts to cover put prices above the
point at which they could be maintained,
l'oi baps the most encouraging factor of the
day was the grow ing belief that the dreaded
"Hatch" bill cannot pass the Senate this
session.
There were other stroncr features: Crop
reports come in less favorable tban hereto
foie. Domestic markets were higher.
There was a decrease of 1,353,000 bushels on
oceaitpassage, and there was a report from
New York that Liverpool had Just cabled
that the Indian wheat oroD was 64.0C0.000
Dusneis less man last year.
After all of
these bull items had their effect it was
noted that most later cables were lower.
instead or higher, as would have been the
case with an enormous lecrease in India.
July wheat opened at 7S5c, advanced to
79Jc, weakened to 7SJc and closed at 79c,
against 7SJc at the olose yesterday.
Corn was strong and higher. The Illinois
State report was unfavorable and other crop
advices also discouraging, and there was
active covering by shorts and good specu
lative buvinir. while there was little for sale
The decided strength in wheat and the other
speculative pits also helped the market,
and it was aided by small receipts, pres
ent and prospective: but it weakened later
with wheat. July opened at 50c, advanced
to51Jc, sold off to 60$c and closed at 60c,
an aavance of c
Oats sympathized with the other cereals,
and dosed with c advance.
Provisions were stronger early in sympa
thy with grains, but weakened later and
closed with only moderate advances.

CONSOLIDATION KNOfJKED 0DT.
Copeland and North Braddock Taking the
lead In Improvements.
INDUSTRIAL CONCERNS IN GOOD SHAPE
Braddock may not be flourishing like the
proverbial green hay tree, but it ii keeping
well to the front and steadily adding to its
importance as a manufacturing center. All
of its numerous manufacturing concerns,
some of them the largest in the cotntry, are
actively employed. So far, there are no
signs of serious labor trouble Building is
backward in the borough, but brisk outside.
The Lloyd Hotel, a fine structure on Main
street, has just been completed and oc
cupied. The Carnegie Co-operative Asso
ciation building on the same street is receiv
ing the finishing touches. Two or three
churches, a school house and a number of
dwellings have been put up this season.
Growth is of a substantial character. Eeal
estate values are steady, but sales are slow.
North Braddock mud Copeland.
The scheme of the big borough to annex
these thriving suburbs appears 'to have
fallen through, the people being decidedly
opposed to such close fellowship with a
community seriously handicapped, as
claimed,with a heavy .bonded debt. So it
is likely they will continue to "paddle their
own canoe. Hoth ot these places are
building up very fast, but Copeland is tak
ing the lead. Ten years ago it was a brick
yard; now it is a town of perhaps 2,000 in
habitants. It occupies a good position and
has plenty of room for expansion. Its
proximity to nearly all the industrial cen
ters makes it attractive to a large class of
home-seekers. There is talk of a new sub
division above the railroaR consisting of
fonr or five acres. There Is a large amount
ot vacant land in this quarter which is well
adapted to residence purposes. Many of
Braddock's prominent citizens have their
homes in Copeland. The western terminus'
of the Braddock and Turtle Creek Electric
Bailway is here
Yesterday's Building Permits.
Six permits were issued yesterday for
seven buildings, aggregating in cost 517,100.
The list follows: Isaac Nelson, frame

ward, 51,600; Adam "Wehmer, brick dwell
ing on Fish street, Seventeenth ward, $3,500;
H. J. Lang, two frame dwellings on Pacific

Special Features of Trade.
The Pittsburg Exchange will be closed
from Friday evening next until Tuesday
morning, thus following the example of
eastern bodies.
The acid works at Ben Venue are being, en
larged to meet the demands of increasing
trade.
Braddock recently voted on a proposition
to increase the borough Indebtedness to
$100,000 for street improvements and to wipe
out the floating debt. It was carried by
three to one, but the vote was light. This
makes the combined debt of the borough
and school board about $300,000.
Elmiro, N. Y., has marketed $235,000 3 per
cent bonds, maturing in yearly series iroin
1912 to 1921, $23,000 per year, at from 103.06 and
Interest to 104 82 and interest.
Disbursements ot July interest and divi
dends in Pittsburg will, according to good
authority, amount to nearly or quite $2,000,
000. Of this large sum, Airbrake and Phila
delphia Gas will fnrnish $575,000, or more
tban one-fourth the total.
Speaking of the Braddock and Turtle
Creek Hallway vesterdar. a gentleman fa
miliar with its history said:, "The statement
that it is a non-payer is wrong. It is a good'
investment. The company is earning
enough to pay fixed charges and to oreate a'

PLEASANT VALLET AGAIN PASSES

Successful Tactics to Prevent a Bile Pend
ing Negotiations With Manchester A
Big Block or Bonds Changes Handj
Sales and Flnctaatlpns for th Bar.
Pleasant Valley Railway held the floor
again yesterday as the attraction of the
stock-market. It was active at the expense
of value, selling down from 26 at the morn
ing call to 26 in the afternoon. This bears
out the opinion expressed Ian week that
those managing the deal with Manchester
are doing all in their power to keep the
stock down. The consolidation scheme was
said to be making progress, bnt nothing au
thentic was given ont.
There was no special change in other
directions, 'xne natural gassers were steady,
Pipeage was bid up a fraction at the midday
call, but finished at tho opening. The event
of the day outside tho Exchange was the
sale by Henry M. Long of $50,000 Pleasant
Valley bonds at par and interest.
Sales at first call Included 25 Birmingham

A BEAUTIFUL BLACK EYE
GIVEN TO RICHMOND AND
POINT SECURITIES.
WEST
Drexel, Morgan St Co?s Refoaml Has s Bad
Effect on Stocks Vanderbllts Higher on
Declaration of Lancer Dividends The
General Market Still Very Doll.
New Tobx, Jnne 28. The avent of the day
In stook circles was the refusal of Drexel,
Morgan & Co., to undertake the reorganiza
tion of the Biohmond and West Point sys
tem, and to this event was due the spurt of
animation and weakness caused by a selling
movement stimulated by the news. There
was, also, some animation in the Vander
bllts, especially Lake Shore and Chesapeake
and Ohio over the increase in the dividend
rate on Lake Shore. Otherwise the market
to-day presented the same tame and unin
teresting appearance that it has for the last
few days, and the movements referred to
were short-lived.
Although there Is approaching a triple
holiday and dullness which Is the usual ac
companiment of the approach of the July
disbursements, there seems to be nothing to
base a selling movement upon, but the
apathy of security-holders, and all such at
tempts are likely 'or some time to be spas
modic and the effort to recoup followed by
full recoveries. The refusal checked a very
promising advance in Richmond and West
Point securities, but while- the stocks de
clined and the preferred materially, the
effect was more largely seen in the bonds.
'The drive at the Grangers resulted in
knocking a large fraction off of Burlington,
hut the reit yielded reluctantly: and the re
ports from the crops being nnliormly favor
able, the movement was quickly checked.
Considering the prevailing dullness, there
were some verv marked improvements, and
these invariably in the upward direction
among the specialties.
The market finally closed very, dull bnt
firm at close to the opening figures in most
cases, while a few stocks retained the early
advances, and Sugar and Hocking Vallev
are 1 per cent. The trading reached 119,863
list and 19,253 unlisted.
Tho total sale of stocks to-day were 139.119
shares, including: Atchison, 19,690: Dola ware,
Lackawanna and Western, 3,710; Hocking
Valley. 3,800; New England, 4,135; Reading,
10,100; Richmond and West Point, 7,495; St.
Paul, 14,820; Western Union, 3,087.
Railroad bonds show rather an increased
strength owing to the near approach of the
July disbursements, and while there was
little animation in the market, Louisville,
New Albany and Chicago 5s attracted atten
tion in the marketat higher prices. The in
active issues, however, were the onjy ones
to score material movement. Biohmond and
West Point Issues were depressed materially
and the 6s lost lc at 77c and the 5s SJc at
43c, with a few others of note. The trans
actions reacn $i,nu,uuu.

A Fair Movement' for tho Season - Wo
Changfe in RatetL
Money was perhaps a-little -more active
yesterday owing to the near approach of the
half-yearly settlements, bat-the market was
easy in all departments. There is little dan
ger of seriously depleting the surplus be
fore fall. Counter business was well np, and
the Clearing uouse report denoted a fair
movement in general trade lines. Exchanges
were $2,534,238 75. and balances, $001,738 65.
Rates were easy at 5S per cent on call and
time loans. '
A New York authority says: "The sur
plus is quite large1 enough, and with the
prospect or early return or gold for products
exported the street perceives no occasion
for alarm. Mnch Is said in some quarters
about the depletion of Treasury reserves,
but the fact is tMrT the net gold held after
deducting gold certificates- outstanding l
now but $2,400,000 less than Jnne 30 last year,
and meanwhile the New York banks, not
withstanding their loss last week, still . hbld
about-t3Ofl00,000 more specie than they did
At New York yesterday money on call was

Country. Produce Jobbing Prices
At (he regular weekly meeting of the Elgin
butter board yesterday sales were made at
an advance of lc per pound over last week's
quotations, and in consequence prices here
will be advanced the latter part ot the
week. The market for choice grades of
butter holds quite firm under a steady de
mand and comparatively light supplies, and
the" chances are prices will be elevated again
next week. Cheese is weak at the late de
clines, and eggs and poultry are easier under
a falling off in the demand. Berries are
coming forward liberally, and the market
favors buyers, though quotations were not
shaded rt any material extent to-day. Vege
tables are in iull supply, this statement
having especial reference to cabbage, toma
toes and onions, but prices are holding up
better than expected because of a slight im
provement in demand. Tropical fruits are
having a free movement and the general
tendency of prices is npward. Melons and
canteloupes are good-stook at quotations.
Potatoes are in excessive supply, with little
choice stock on sale.

Infants Die From Want
. of Proper Food.
Death Rate From Cholera
Jnfantum Grows.
Infant Mortality- Credited to Hot
Weather.
Boon Within the Reach of Every
Family.
Letters From Happy Mothers In- Perm,
sylvanla Townsl
"The Infants have got to suffer for two or three
months now." said a physician to a Dispatch man
yesterday.
"The health board returns say that In Jane last
many infants died of cholera Infantum. Jane,
July and August are fatal months for children.
Cholera infantum, under which title many caies
of Indigestion are reported, is a preventable dis
ease." and he showed the reporter a recent report
In which two remedies were mentioned: one was
giving the children a chance of air, the other pro
viding proper nourishment.
The proper nourishment la nature's food, or, when
that falls, the nearest thlog to it. which is nothing
more or less than Iactated food.
The board of health in Boston, not long aro. in
vestigated the cause of 374 deaths from cholera in
fantum, and they found that more than 250 of the
little victims had been fed upon cow's milk, and
among the number there was no death reported
where Iactated food had been used.
These fl cares simply bear oat the theory recently
advanced by Dr. Vaughn, of the Michigan Board
of Bcalth who says that the most fatal cause of
cholera Infantum and kindred fatal diseases amona;
children is stale cow's milk.
Many a mother knowing of the danger In cow's
milk has attempted to nurse her child in the hot
summer, because she feared to feed it partially or
wholly. But Iactated food will take the place of
mother's milk, remove all dangers that lark In
stale cow's milk and keep the child strong and
well during this dangerous season.
The experience of hundreds of physicians, pub
lic Institutions .aud mothers proves that Iactated
food is a perfect diet for young children during the
hot summer months when so many fall victims to
cholera Infantum. No less authority tban Dr.
Guernsey. Senior Editor of the New York Medical
Times, says that be uses this Iactated food with
children, and commends It highly. There are
many physicians in Pittsburg who prescribe It In
variably. The manufacturers have hundreds of
letters from happy mothers in the towns of this
State who have usea it successfully whe every
thing else failed.
It must be borne In mind that Iactated food is so
Inexpensive that It Is within the reach of every
family. 159 meals can be made from a dollar pack
age of this food, and the food prepared for the use
of Infants will cost less than live cents a quart.
Many families keep It constantly on hand, for
the food Is not only of Inestimable value for babies,
but Invalids and the aged, in fact, all whose diges
tion is in the least weakened, enjoy this nourish
ing preparation and live a happier and longer Ufa
because of It.
