WEDNESDAY, June 3, 1891
The reccipts of cattle at the East Liberty
yards this week have been 80 carloads less
than those Of last week Market opened
Monday morning with so loads on sale
against IS loads The previous Monday. There
were about 20 loads received on Tuesday,
making the total for this week 60 loads.
QGality of offerings was reported by dealers
rs common to good. There were no strictly
primo beeveS on sale in carload lots A car
load of good hatcher beeves, among which
were a few primes, from Licking county,
Ohio, was sold at s. S., and so far as could
be traced this was the best price paid this
week. There was an offer OF So C5 tor u part
of this load.
Prime butcher bcevcs wonld have readily
brought &c per ib in carload lots, but there
were none OH sale. Ripe, heavy cattle
brought Sc IS in Chicago, and n few we're re-
tailed at the Herr's Island yards en- Monday
at S6 G5. At che opening of markets this week
at East Liberty an advance Of lOc 10 25c per
cwt. on last weeks prices was secured. This
advance WAS, however, but partial recov-
cry from the big decline OF last week, which
on some low grades MaS enaai to 40c per cwt.
Toward noon on Monday markets weakened
slightly on all excepting light, smooth butch
eU becves, and with an addition Of ten loads
TO receipts.
On TueSda- the weakness continued
with markets more favorable TO buyers than
at the opening Monday morning.
Grades Which arc Scarce.
This morning there were three or four
loads on hand unsold, Iaostly common and
low-gyade stock. Fresh COWS of good quail
ity have been in short supply the past week.
or two. while common have been drag,
with sales this week as low as SIS 90 per head.
The range OF markets for fresh COWS is SIS 90
70 $40 90 per head. Dry COWS are plenty and
slow ut nominal prices. Calves have been in
fair supply this week and former prices were
maintained.
Sheep and Lambs-There have been about
80 loads on sale this week, against sc last |
week. While there has been no change in
prices worthy OF note, markets are reported |
slow. The top of the market this morning |
was SIC for sheep and Sc for spring lambs. |
The latter were scarce and brought lc per |
h higher prices this week than last. |
Hogs are in light supply and demand. |
Tho offerings for the week have not been |
over dozen leads. Top price this morn
ing was a 50 10 81 80. The hot weather has |
almost knocked out ali demand in this line |
from butchers.
At the Herr's Island and Woods Run |
stock yards this week there were 5ll head Of |
cattle On sale, los sheep and lambs and 6lO |
hogs.
Dealers at these yards report slow trade |

IN THE GRAIN PITS.

A Squirt Of Activity In Corn, but Early
Strength Not Sustained-Wheat Lets Go
Oats Featureless-Concessions Made
All Along the Provision Line.
CHICAGO-Corn was the ruling factor on
the Board of Trade to-day, and the business
in all pits was very dull during the most of
the session. Wheat was fairly strong dur
ing the afternoon, with little trade passing;
then it became active and weak in sympathy
with corn. The news was mostly bearish;
foreign markets were lower. The first arrival
of new wheat was reported from San Fran
cisco, and heavy exports OF gold continued.
On the other hand, Brddstreet's reported a
large decrease in stocks, the prlce of bread
was said to be advancing in Italy, and oat
lice we're reported ravaging the wheat fields
in some portions of the States, though other
points indicated an abundant crop.
July wheat started ut 99c, against 9Ss3c at
the close yesterday, ranged between 9S1sc
and 991sc for long time and then spurted
to $3.50. Tho squirt, it WAS said. was due to
the binding up of the market by operators
in corn, who were anxious to make strong
squirt 70 unload On. The rise not only in
duced much selling by New Workers, but by
to decline the price of July wheat slipped
down to SS1Sc. Here it was sustained by
purchases against puts till the close.
Receipts of corn were nearly 100 carloads
below the estimates. The bulls started in
to huv and the shorts to cover. The result
WAS that July, which opened &c up to 5614c,
advanced to SIC. The bulls then proceeded
TO take their profits, and the price slid of to
J6c, but closed &c higher.
Oats were dull and featureless, following
in the wake of corn.
Provisions were dull until near the close,
when they put on a squirt of activity. The
fluctuations, however, were extremely mar
row aud the close shows q loss of 21S@115c
in pork, 5R7l%c in ribs and loc in lard, COM
pared with yesterday.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as
corrected by John NJ. Oakley & Co., 45 Sixth
street, members of Chicago Board of Trade:

Money in this market yesterday was easy
and in moderate demand, with interest
rates ruling at 515@6 per cent on call and

Currency was more abundant than at any
previous time this year. Large cash sales
and country shipments account for it. Ex-

An Eastern authority says: at is said
that time money is plenty, but that leaders
expect higher rates, and will hold their
funds until they obtain them" While Pitts
burg financiers anticipate such improve
ment in business as to bring into use nearly
all the funds now idle, they do not antici-
pate higher level of rates. as they think
any stringency that may develop will be

NATURAL GAS STOCKS STRONG ON THE
TAPPING OF NEW FIELD,

Business Small in Volume, but Values Well
Held-A Few Gains, With No Positive
Losses-Street Railway Earnings De-
pend Largely Upon Speed.
The local stock market yesterday was dull,
stale and Improbable to all concerned
There was no disposition to do anything, and
the day wore away with next to nothing ac-
complished in the way of sales They footed
up only l75 shares for the three calls-all
Philadelphia Gas.
This weakness of the speculative pulse K
tended to all the outside exchanges, New
York was dull and weak, while London was
still unsettled with little doing The run on
the Buenos Ayres banks was Continued, and
five of them had been compelled to close. A
Paris banker had disappeared, with iiabili-
ties of several million francs.
Natural gas stocks were firm, with a buoy
ant undertone, due to the tapping of q new
gas field in Hampton township by Spang,
Chalfant q Co. The well was said by some
to be equal to anything in the Butler dis
trict. If this statement be oven approx
mately correct, it should strengthen this
class Of securities by demonstrating that the
supply of natural fuel is sufficient for nearly
ali purposes.
Other strong features we're Luster, Manu-
facturers' and CHARTERS Gas, each OF which
finished better than on the previous day.

BLANCO NEWS ITEMS.

BLANCO, Texas, Sept. %.
Old Father weather has visited us this
week, II and IS and gave quite refresh
ing shower. No dynamite used.
Farmers are all in good spirits, cotton
doing much better than expected, turning
out far better than last year. over 900
bales, so far in this neighborhood, have
been ginned.
Prospects for sowing wheat are good.
There will be quite number of acres
sown. This thing of having smoke houses
in Kansas and bread from st. Louis and
other points don't pay.
Quite a sensation occurred at the county
site. Joe Kerr, having been arrested for
theft and burglary of Cage 81 CO. store,
pleaded guilty and was sent up for 4 years,
tried to hang himself in jail. He tore
strips from his mattress and tied it to the
top of the cell door. but was soon cut
down and is now all right and will soon be
journeying up north and may raise hemp
that will do the work up much better.
