Cold, wet weather has proved dampener to
this days trade. Consignments of strawberries
were the largest of the season. The bulk came
to markets in poor shape. A few choice ones
brought from Is to 20c but greater quantity
went begging to customers below l0c. Eggs are
weaker. Choice grades of creamery butter are
firmer. New Ohio cheese tends downward.
Cool weather has proved a check to the active
movement of tropical fruits.

Grade of Cattle at Liberty Yards
Falls Below Average.
LIGHT BUTCHER STOCK STEADY.
Sheep and Lambs Active and Firm at
Prices of Last Week.
HOGS RALLY FROM RECENT TUMBLE
OFFICE OF PITTsBURG DISPATCH.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 2. 1879,

The run of cattle was about so loads,
apainst 50 last week and 20 the previous
week. More than so loads were from Chi
caco. The grade of the Chicago cattle was
below the average. A leading stockman said:
tsI have not seen as many low grade cattle from
Chicago for many months as those received this
week" Smooth grades of light fat butchering
stock were about up to last weeks prices Other
grades were 59l0c lower
Heavy cattle were neglected. Buyers of ex-
port stock have been giving the Liberty stock
yards the gO-by of late weeks. The demand for
heavy cattle is down to zero.
A few of this class were left over from last
week, and to-day some 5 or loads were
shipped east. having failed to find customers
here. A part Of these were still in first hands.
Ths range for smooth, light butcher cattle
was s. IS to & 10. Some very fancy, weighing
l,2JO pounds, were sold to a-Johnstown butcher
al AZ. The time was when heavy prime cat
tie were most in demand at this market.
NOW llghtweights have the field. The shaTp
competition with dressed beef has brought this
change.
Our butchers are unwilling 10 60 beyond 4c,
claiming that beyond this there is no proht TO
their trade.
Sheep and lambs.
Supply and quality varied very little from
last week. Prices of last week were fully main
tanned. Demand was more active, and stock
was well cleaned up at rates of week ago.
Both at Eerr's Island and East Liberty this
week markets were stronger for sheep and
lambs than for anything else in live stock
lines.
Buyers from Philadelphia and New York
were in sharp competition tor stock, and mar
kets were strong all along the line.
Hogs.
Markets were demoralized last week by rea-
son of the heavy run. AT the beginning of this
week receipts began to fall off and prices raj
lied from the lowest point. Between Monday
of last week and Monday of this there was
decline Of 4O@5Oc. In the past day or two
there has been a rally of lOGl5c. The rates to-
day are 81 COCA 20. One of our leading packers
reports prices at Chicago about the same as at
East Liberty. At the former place hogs
dropped below 81 20 last week. To-Day they
are quoted at 81 90 and firm.

Ask the average man you meet how much
leather betting, gum betting, or any other
kind of betting is used IN Pittsburg and Al
legheny cities, and while he would not be
likely to be able to tell you, 10 to / he would
express the opinion that the amount must be
very large; and there is just where be is of.
=. As the most prominent feature of the city Is
its immense machinery. an idea has grown that
1t must use large amount of betting; but it is
because of the vast power Of that machinery
that very little betting is used. Most of the
connections on this account are necessarily di-
rect, thus doing away in the greater part with
betting.

OIL WENT UP.

trnry WIS EXpeCtou'
The oil market was comparatively strong yes
terday, but not remarkably active. The nuctu-
ations were wide enough to afford the scalpers
a good opportunity to turn an honest penny
but they were not in a mood to take advantage
of it to an unusual extent.
The market opened with bullish undertone
at S21a, e above Tuesdays close, and, under the
influence of good buying, advanced during the
1t was then hammered down to Si5S, the lowest,
from which it rallied to 6276-M above the
opening-where it stood when the gong
sounded.
A broker said: 'To-day's oil market proved,
If proof were necessary, that none of us know
much about it. 1 expected lower prices to-day
than yesterday. but was fooled In my opin-
ion the advance is q bull movement without
reason other than to put the shorts in hole.
What the market will do tomorrow is more
than 1 can tell. 1t may go up a trife and 1t
may go down. 1 think the latter contingency

strong spots were Pittsburg and Western com

100 shares, and Wheeling Gas, which
sold in a small way at 30sS. The most
active stock was Pittsburg Traction, but
holders had to make concessions to effect sales.
1t was wanted to the extent of $50 shares at

for Electric, without transactions. In the af.
ternoon 1t was struck by a cold wave and

the lack OF buying demand and the fears of
small holders regarding the outcome of the
pending suit. The rest of the list was dull and
