Light Butcher reeves Higher Than Any lime This Season. SWIXE DIGHEK AXD SHEEP STEADY OrricE op The Dispatch, j Pittsburg, Weditesdat, July 6. $ There "were 57 loads of cattle on sale at East Liberty yards this week, against 104 loads last week. Of this week's offerings about seven car loads were held orer from last week. Notwithstanding the fact that markets opened on the great national holi day, trade started up lively at a sharp advance all along the line. On desirable grades, such as light, smooth butcher beeves, the advance was equal to 40 per cent, and on all grades there was an advance of not less than 25 per cent. The highest price paid was for a load of good, but not prime beeves, weighing 1,500 pounds, from Sonthern Ohio. The price at which this load was sold was ?5 10. Another load brought $5 00 per ewt. These were the highest prices paid at the East Liberty yards for some months past. Last week the top of .market was c4 55. Fresh cows were in light supply, and range was the same this week as last, namely ?20 to S40 per head. There were all told about 30 loads of sheep and lambs on the market this week. In the offerings there were few good and no choice. Mar kets ruled strong at Jc advance on good stock, while low grades were steady at former prices. Hogs were in light supply and astive de mand at 30c advance on opening prices of last week. Sales reported as high as 55 95, and tliis morning there would have been no difficulty in obtaining ?6 00 per cwt for Philadelphias had there been, any such on sale A Live Stock Firm's Review.

There is no apparent reason why this fine street in the heart of the city and traversed and crossed by a number of electrlo and cable lines lead ing to all parts of the lower city and sub urbs should not have a business resurrec tion. Signs point to this consummation. Three transactions in realty on this street have been concluded two of them yester daythe outcome ot which will bt a large and handsome business block and a com modious law office. About six months ago Mr. D. Herbert Hostetter purchased through the agency of W. A. Herron & Sons the lot on the southeast corner of Grant street and Fourth avenue, oppo site the St. Nicholas building. Mr. Hos tetter believed a business block in that quarter would be a good investment and this purchase was the first step toward securing a suitable location and sufficient ground for such a building as he had in con templation. This property secured. Mr. Hostetter en tered upon negotiations, through the firm of George Johnston & Co., for the adjoin ing lot, owned by the Irwin heirs, and, after considerable dickering, this also was acquired. These two lots have a combined frontage on Grant street of 73 leet 6 inches, by a depth of nearly 100 feet. It is npon this site that Mr. Hostetter will build. This completed the Hostetter deal, bnt Mr. Johnston did not stop at that point. He had a customer who wanted the third lot in the row, owned bv Edward F. Arthurs, of Baltimore, Mr. Johnston went 10 mat glV' opeuea negotiations witn the owner and finally secured it at a good round price. The name of the purchaser is withheld lor the present. As indicated, it is his intention to erect thereon a handsome law building. A Deal la .Acreage. Samuel "W. Black & Ca sold yesterday 0 acres of land in the Twenty-first ward, lor a prominent prolessional gentleman of the city to a Westmoreland County capi talist The price .paid approximated $11, 000.

YesterdRy "was a quiet day in financial circles. The Homestead trouble received more attention than business. Bankers scanned the frequent reports with deep In terest, and were pressed with inquiries from correspondents East and West lor informa tion, showing a widespiead interest In these unfortunate events. Clearances were $2, 724,518 11 and balances $543,850 65. The New York Journal c Finance remarks editorially: "As an instance of tbe ease which prevails now and which is likely to continue it may be noted that just before the first of the month, when large amounts were tied up to provide for interest pay ments due July 1, money, on three months' time was offered at 2 per cent. And It went begging at that! 'The tears of tight money In the fall are groundless. Money will continue to rule as plentiful as it does now and no difficulty will be experienced in obtaining all the funds necessary for the requirements of trade and finance." Another authority is not so sanguine of the continuance of the present easy condi tion of the niatket. It says: "There are In dications that there will be a slight tighten ing in the money market before long. Rates are even now becoming slightly higher. Besides this the national money centers here and abroad are allowing money to ac cumulate. The Bank of England has not changed Its rate of discount, while it Is fairly loaded with monoy. This is generally conceded to be a bad sign to forbode trou ble in tbe money market. Bnt still, every thing seems to be In a perfeotly healthy con dition here and there are no signs of any Immediate serious embarrassments." Tbe latter view appears to be tbe more reasonable. Good crops, of which there Is excellent prospect, will undoubtedly stimu late trade In all lines, and this will etnplia slxe the demand for monoy. Higher rates will neoessarily follow, and business will be benefited, since low rates mean stagnation and Bocun-nlation ot funds. This Is not a disturbing prospeot. Money brings June what It Is worth to the borrower. Piled np lnbank.it is an incentive to wild specula tion. Distributed among the people, it stim ulates enterprise, gives employment to labor and keeps the wheels of progress In motion.

NO Philadelphia Gas Climbs Higher, With More Wanted Than OfTared Baying Orders Bard to Execute Sales and Fluctuations for tho Bay. The stock market was firm yesterday, bnt dull, the exciting events at Homestead over shadowing everything else. Philadelphia Gas continued its upward movement, selling np to 19 against 19i the previous day, and holding the advance to the close, with buy ers largely outnumbering sellers. Changes in other parts of the list vero light. Central, Citizens' and Pittsburg Tractions finished the day with fractional gains, as did Wheeling Gas, Luster and Switch. Fipeage receded a trifle. The mar ket, all in all, was strong, nearly all the changes being improvements. There were plenty ot buying orders, but they weie hard to execute, showing that holdeis have a good stock of confidence. Sales at first call were 10 Philadelphia Gas at 19, and $10,000 Duquesne boncN nt 1004. After call, 200 Pleasant Valley at 26. Second call, 25 Pleasant Valley at 26 and J50 Phila delphia Gas at 19.

Bulls DIsappolntmtmt Over the Fnllnre of the New Investment Demand to Raise Prloes of Stocks Sage Denies the Texas Paclfio RroMvnrahip Story. New York, July 6. Disappointment has been caused during the last two days by tho course of prices in the stock market, and where there has been the usual expectation of a stimulation of trade and advances in prices from the new investment demand the reality has been the opposite and weak ness and falling prices have prevailed. To this result the passage of the free coinage act by the Senate undoubtedly contributed most, acting through the fears of foreign In vestors, bnt the local element espoused the hear side, and the industrial troubles at Pittsburg also helped to-day to cause dis trust. There Is, also, a suspicion that the invest ing uublic, which has been depended upon to come and advance the market, are not averse to seeing lower quotations. There is, at any rate, a marked Iuck of support in the market, and tbe active stocks are those which are most vulnerable to attack from New England and a few specialties showed the largest declines to day, though tho whole list was affected by the selling pres sure. The market enjoved the advantage of some buying by the foreigners who threw over their stocks yesterday, and, also, the support whloh comes from the coveiing of short con ti acts by the small bears, who are still inclined to take a small profit whenever It is seen, and the Impression made npon prices was much smaller than that of yester day. There was some talk on the street of a movement to bring about the repeal of the present silver law, in order to force the fight against the silver men. Texas Pacific securities were sold down last week on reports of the possible appoint or a receiver; bat Russell Sage denied posi tively to-day that there is any foundation for snch a rumor down in Wall street. Tbe market, however, gave no sign of rallying through the afternoon until Just befoie the close, when shorts again covered and prices were lifted a little. The close was firm and quiet generally nt close to tbe lowest figures. The transactions reached 257,560 listed and 11.854 unlisted. Tho total sales of stocks to-day were 269,414 shares, including: Atchi son, 150: Chicago Gas, 9700; Erie, 8,195: Louisville and Nashville, 9,625: Northwest ern, 815; Northern Pacific, preferred, 5,875; New England. 17,005: Reading, 30,600; St. Paul, 46,900; Union Pacific, 12,270. Railroad bonds were quiet but showed the effects of the late interest disbursements in the wide distribution of the business and the refusal of the list to follow the stock list down. A firm temper prevailed through out aud a few marked gains were seen among tbe investment issues. The following table sho ws the prices of active stocks on the New York Stock Exchangeyesterday.
