TlICBSDAY. August 22. 1SS9. f
It will be seen by reference to the accom
panying report of the week's transactions at
the East Liberty Stock Yards that there has
been a large Increase of receipts all along
the line Through shipments of cattle are
the largest of the season and almost double
the amount of last week. The run of sheep
exceeds that of last week by 5,500 head, and
bogs 8.SU0 bead. A very large proportion ot the
cattle received for the local trade was low
grade stock, and for this class markets were
depressed and lower. It would seem
as though tbo refuse ot Chicago's
yard bad been emptied Into East Liberty.
At last accounts commission men were
wrestling with the problem of bow to get rid
of the low grade cattle. Ore remarked that
there was an immense amount ot smothered
profanity at the j ards this week, not to speak
of that which managed to come to the surface.
It wait the common view among the drovers
that the ue ot emphatic adjectives of a sul
phurous nature was justifiable in the presence
ot 123 loads ot such scalawag cattle as were
dumped Into the Liberty yards this week.
For all desirable butchering grades prices of
la-t week were maintained. Good goods fall
not to win In this era ot low prices and cheap
margins.

actions at the East Liberty yards:

Country Produce.
Though peaches hare been in liberal supply
for tbe past week or two, a shortage is ex
pected later on. Throughout PittsDurg's ter
ritory tbe crop is practically a failure. Sup
plies are now coming In the main from South
ern Ohio, where tbe early crop is fair, but not
up to tbe average. The Delaware and Jersey
crop is also below tbe average, and the yield
there will not be above what Eastern markets
will readily absorb. Tbe strong probability is
that peaches are now at their lowest for this
season. When the absentees return
from tbe mountains and seashore
and the good housewives begin in
downright earnest to lay up fruit for winter
use, look out for steeper prices. Jersey sweet
potatoes never promised better as to quantity
and quality at tbis season of the year.
Tbe watermelon crop is scarcely up to the
average. In this region it will fall far below
average, and shippers at a distance have
learned from dear experience not to eonslgu
their goods to tbis city. The gluts of former
years have taught melon growers that tbe bet
ter way is to sell their goods and not consign.
Tbe Irish potato crop promises to be the largest
on record throngh this region.
Late reports, however, indicate that tbe po
Uo grown in clayey soil is rotting to a large
.tent, as a result of the wet season.
Sajd one of our leading produce commission
' -rchauts to-day: "1 only hope it is true that
' rot bas reached the potato crop, for we
.a something of this kind to prevent the
worst glut with which markets were ever
threatened. If there is not something of this
klpd to intervene It will be bard to give away
potatoes tbe coming fall."

Kkw York. August 22. The lobbing trade
in drygoods continues to show increasing ac
tivity, though buyers are not speculatively in
clined. Business at first hands continues only
fair, but both branches are apparently in a
healthy condition. Failures among the mills
are not affecting trade adversely, while tbe
market is in a strong position as to both cotton
and woolen goods. Average staple goods of
both clashes are well sold up, with an upward
look as to prices, borne are already selling un

Chicago From a purely speculative stand
point the market was again provokingly dull
and narrow to-day. though in this respect Chi
cago was no worse off than other domestic mar
kets. Weather conditions were so fine as to
create a decidedly bearish feeling in all of the
grain pits, still prices for wheat did not decline
appreciably. The disappointingly light deliv
eries from first hands held prices steady in the
face of the otherwise depressing surroundings.
Trading was of a light scalping sort all
through the session. Jc covering the fluctua
tions in the leading futures. The bulk of the
trade In December was at 7878ic and TSJc
w as tbe closing price. Leing tbe same as J ester
day's closing. The largest local buyer yes
terday of December at TJMtfc purchased freely
to-day at 78c. Outside orders continue light.
A lame business was transacted in corn, and
the feeling developed was weaker, lower prices
being established. Tbe easier tone was largely
due to tbe large receipts and warmer weather.
The volume of business was large and trading
was more general than for several days, not be
ing confined so much to local operators. There
was a good deal of liquidation, longs selling
and shorts covering. The country was also a
seller, there being an impression that tbe dan
ger from frost is over in some sections, and of
ferings ot May were quite heavy. The specu
lative market opened ii&Hc under yesterday's
closing prices, was easy and declined in all
He to Jic and closed Ko lower than yes
terday. More business was transacted in oats and a
slightly lower range of prices recorded. In
terest centered chiefly in May, and prices for
it showed the greatest fluctuations. Operators
were more disposed to sell, and an easier feel
ing prevailed. Offerings were heavier, and
prices declined Xc, and the market closed
easy. .
Considerable more interest was manifested
in hoe products, and trading was more active
both In speculative and shipping branches. In
a general wav tbe feeling was somewhat un
settled, with the different articles acting on an
Independent basis. Near deliveries of mess
pork and short ribs were steadier, while Janu
ary ruled easier.
Lard was rather reverse. Offerings of all
kinds wero moderately free and the demand
was fair; shorts purchased to some extent, and
the bulk of the outside orders apparently were
on the buying side. Trading was mainly in
contracts for beptcmher, October and January.
Prices ruled somevhat Irregular.

A BIG TRANSACTION.
Sale of an Oakland Homestead for

LOCAL BANKERS TALK ON MONEY.
They Take Tery Little Stock in Kew Tork
Seports of a Stringency.
HOW A BROKER FOUND A PUDDING
The most important deal in suburban
realty reported by any of ihe Fourth avenue
agencies for some time was effected by W.
A. Herron & Sons yesterday. For a month
or two negotiations bad been pending in re
gard to the sale of a part of the Smith estate
on Terrace street, Oikland, a small differ
ence in price preventing a close. Yesterday
this obstacle was removed, and the property
chanced owners.
The ground comprises about 3J acres and
a large mansion house. The consideration
was 520,000, which is considered very rea
sonable for that locality. The new owner,
wbo requests bis namo to be omitted, will make
extensive improvements to the grounds and
remodel tbe house, whichbe proposes to occupy
as a suburban home.
Pittsburg bankers take very little stock in
New York reports cf a squeeze in money.
They can see no good reason for it, and think
the talk is intended to influence the stock
market, which Is easily aflccted by such in
fluences. A member of the firm of Kobinson Brothers'
said: "There may be some pressure, but it will
be temporary. The West Is well supplied with
funds, particularly Chicago, which is a second
New York, and will need less help than usual
to move the crops. Very little money Is going
abroad. Prosperity is the rule in all parts of
the country, and I think It is able to withstand
a much severer squeeze than It is likely to be
subjectsd to this season. Pittsburg will
scarcely feel it."
A Fourth avenue cashier remarked: "Money
is evidently scarce in New York, or there
wonld not have been such a sharp advance in
the Interest rate. The squeeze may be a little
severe in the East, but I do not believe It will
affect the West to an appreciable extent It
is a good thing for the Pittsburg banks, be
cause the advance on loans will keep paper at
home. Money is cheaper in Pittsburg than in
New York."
At tbe Central Bank the opinion was ex
pressed that reports of a squeeze were more
talk than anything else, and would soon sub
side. Pittsburg has a very large surplus, and
has nothing to fear.
Tbe Cashier ot a leading bank on Fifth ave
nue, who does not like to see his name in
print, had this to say: There may be somei
thing of a stringency in New York, but it
won't amount to anything serious. Bates on
call have hardened a little, but on commercial
paper there is no difference worth mentioning.
There is no particular reason for a stringency
in the East, where money is unusually abund
ant. Pittsburg has a surplus ot between $15,
000,000 and 20.000,000. Tbis will carry her
through without scorching a hair."
Tbo iron market holds all of the recent ad
vances and exhibits a tendency toward a still
further enhancement. A sale was reported here
yesterday of 15,000 tons of Bessemer pig at a
shade better than S17. Small lots rule at S17 50
toS1775. Manufactured iron has undergone no
material change in tbe past few days, but is
very firm. Tbe mills are all full of work, and
refuse orders for deliveries running longer than
CO days. Sheet and pipe mills are running at
their full capacity.
A broker remarked: "I think the present
boom will last through the fall and winter, but
1 do not look for prices to go much higher."
A Pittsburg merchant, who formerly dabbled
in stocks in New York, and was very successful,
told me yesterday how he managed to come
out ahead. Said he: "I wasn't what is called a
general operator. I didn't take hold of every
thing, but selected three low-priced securities
which seemed to have an outcome. I held on
to them for two or three years, paying no at
tention to the minor fluctuations, for I had
bought more for Investment than a
quick turn. My Judgment turned out
to be correct. At tbe end of tbe time men
tioned two ot the properties had been so well
managed that they were worth dollars where
they had cost me cents, and the third had risen
to almost par. I sold out, not wishine to run
any unnecessary risk, making enough money
by the transaction to bny a handsome home,
and start In my present business."
He added: "Altbouch I have quit the business
I watch the Fittsbnrg market with consider
able interest. All of the local stocks are good,
and have a permanent v&lue.Jand 1 think there
is money in most of them. If I were operat
ing in them I would buy La Noria, Switch and
Signal and Pittsburg and Western all low
priced stocks with a future before them, in my
opinion and salt them down. Whoever will
do tbis will. In my judgment, awake some
morning and find himself rich. There are
other promising stocks, but those mentioned
seem to me to be full of splendid possibili
ties." Talking on the subject of mortgages yester
day.a Woodstreetbrokersald:"Business in tbis
class of securities has been very large this sea
son, but the demand is by no means exhausted.
I have $300,000 for Investment in them, but
can't find tbe property. People are very cau
tious about borrowing, lookine on both sides
before taking a step. It this conservatism is
general, and I believe it is, there is no danger
of a financial crisis."
STATUS OP ST0CKB.
La Noria Lead tbe DIarket In Point of
Activity.
La Noria was the active feature of the stock
market yesterday, bnt at the expense of value,

CONDITIONS UNUHANGED.
No Evidence of a Tlabt Money Market In
Pittsburg:.
The conditions of the local money market
showed no change in any essential particnlar
yesterday. Bald a cashier: 'There may bo a
squeeze in New York, but we don't feel It here.
I think a little of it would do good. It would
compel people to borrow." There was a sufil
clent supply of both currency and exchange.
The clearings were $1,793,017 96 and the bal
ances 3286,312 63.
The Daily SnvetUgator, a Wall sireot organ,
sap: "The drain of currency to the West and
South for crop moving purposes Is already ac
tive, the Sub-Treasury having sent away S75V
000 last week under the new rule of receiving
deposits here and paying it out in new green
backs or silver certificates at any designated
city, charging contract express rates for the
service of forwarding. Tbe araln South bas
begun earlier than usual, as one of tbe remit
tances through the Sub-Treasury was to Mem
phis. "Hicher rates in the loan market are, as
SradttrteCt remarks, natural during the
autumn months. Tbe movement of tbe crops
and tbe accompanying activity of business
throughout the West naturally create a drain
of funds in that direction. In the past few
years tbe West has developed an increased
ability to carry through the financial opera
tions involved in the crop movement without
recourse to the banking reserves in the East.
Tbe constitution ot St. Louis and Chicago as
central reserve cities bas no small effect in this
connection. But the magnitude of the present
crop leads to the conclusion that there will be
considerable pressure on the money market
of the whole country during the coming
autumn.
"The fact that the New York Bank reserves
have been reduced to a low ebb, and that tbe
Boston money market shows sensitive indica
tions, have an Important bearing. At the same
time there is every prospect of an active specu
lation in railroad shares, so money will be in
all the more active demand on that account,
but there is not likely to be any stringency
unless it is manipulated, and In that event it
will be very transitory."

York buying ana Pittsburg selling in a small

This was followed by a slight rally, and the

ACTIYEJlTlOWEB.
Stocks Improve In Business, bnt at n Loss
of Tnlaea Weakness Affects the Entire
List Heavy FalluresnndRate-Cut-
tlnsr the Dlsturblnr Elements.
New Yobk, August 22. The stock market
was more active to-day than at any time for
weeks, and at thd same time displayed a de
cided weakness in tone, which resulted in ma
teria! losses all over the list, scarcely any ot the
active stocks being less than 1 per cent lower
than last evening. Tbe influences which had
a bearing upon tbe market tbis morning were
all of an unfavorable nature, such as the recent
heavy failures, further cutting of rates in the
West and Northwest, tbe utterances of Chair
man Walker and Judge Cooley, the former ex
pressing the situation as deplorable in the
Northwest, and general fear of tight money.
The traders made the most of the oppor
tunity, and with tbe first sales inaugurated a
vigorous attack upon the list, the Grangers and
Coal stocks being the principal sufferers, and
the opening prices lrorato percent lower
than last night's figures. The market, under
the pressure to sell, which included, without a
doubt considerable long stock, yielded rapidly
in the early trading, and Jersey Central and
Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and St. Louis
led the decline, whicb. however, died away
toward tbe end of tbe first hour, when dullness
followed and slight recoveries were made.
After noon the pressure was resumed with
force, and all the Grangers, Missouri Pacific,
Union Pacific. Cotton Oil and Sugar became
prominent for tbe weakness displayed, but
later they were all surpassed by the Chicago
and Eau Illinois preferred and Chesapeake and
Ohio first preferred, which lost about 3 per
cent each. Lake Erie and Western preferred.
Lackawanna and Sugar Trust, and afterward
St. Paul and Missouri Pacific led the decline,
which reached Its limits in the last hour only
when money had been run up to 6 per cent.
Thore was a sharp reaction in the rates for
money, however, and they ran off to 2 per cent
at the close. Which induced some buying prin
cipally for tbe short account.
The outstanding short Interest was largely in
creased to day, though there was heavy liqui
dation of long accounts. The trading, however,
did not lose its professional character. The
close was fairly active and weak generally at
the lowest prices of the day. The earnings of
the Northwestern for last month served to re
strict the decline in that stock but bad no ap
preciable effect upon the remainder of the list.
Tbeentire'listU lower to-night. Chlcaco and
East Illinois preferred first lost 3K;Chesapeake

Bonds responded to the flurry in stocks by a
little more animation, tbe sales reacbinc $812,
000, but tbe weakness in stocks was not sympa
thized in to any extent, though the firm tone
shown of late was missed and the Important
final changes were smaller in number. Burling

Swift's Specific entirely cured me of a sever
case of blood poison which obstinately resisted
and refused to be cured for over 28 years. The
regular medical remedies of mercury and
potash only added fuel to the flames J suffered
during most of this long time with ulcers,
blotches and sores of the most offensive char
acter, and was for a long time practically an
Invalid. In less than 30 days use of 8. 8. 8. 1
was all cleared up sound and well. This bas
