Office of The dispatch,
PlTTSBCItG, MONDAY, ilaidl 23.
At the East Liberty stock yards about 60
carloads of cattle were on sale at the open
ing of markets this mornin?, against 70
loads last Monday and 73 loads the previ
ous Monday. The quality of oflerings to
day did not vary essentially from the late
average. There was certainly no improve
ment this week over last The great bulk
of the beeves on sale consisted of common
and low grade stock. There were 25 loads
from Chicago, the balance being in the main
from Ohio and Indiana.
Buyers were present in rather larger force
than last week, but in spite of this and the
light run martets showed no improvement
over a week ago. There were on sale a few
heads of good Ohio beeves weighing about
1500 pounds, for which a nickel a pound was
asked, but prospects were very dim, as to
their bringing this price. Fresh cows were
in fair supply, and range ot markets was the
same this week as last, namely, 520.00 to
540.00 per head.
Calves In Plenty.
The supply of veal calves was the largest
of the season. There were not less than 400
on sale when markets opened, against little
more than half this number the previous
Monday. Markets opened slow at a sharp
decline the range being 4c to 5'c per
pound. Last week the top price was 0c, and
the week before 6?ic
The run of sheep vanea very nine iu-uiiv
from last Mondav's run, the total being 13
carloads. Markets opened active and
strong at last week's prices and all oflerings
found readv sale, with 6c as top price of
sheep and 7c for lambs.
Hoes The markets opened with 30 car
loads on sale, and the demand was slow,
with $5 10 to 5 15 as the outside price of
best Philadelphias.
At the Allecheny Slock Yards.
Receipts of cattle at the Herr's Island
yards were light to-day and quality showed
some improvement over last week. Mar
kets were slow at slightly better prices than
prevailed a week ago. Best heavy Chicagos
sold at 53 10 to 55 25; medium weights at
54 85 to 55 00; light weights at 54 25 to
54 75, and common to fair thin and rough

56 25 per cwt; yearlings at 56 25 to 56 50,
and lambs at 6JJc to 7c per lb.

STILL BREAKING RECORDS.
Wheat Touches the lowest Point Tills
Season Every Scrap of News Favors the
Benj-s The Depression Breaks Up One
Firm Corn Strong.
CHICAGO To-day broko the record this
'year for low prices in the wheat pit. The
figures for May, the rnling option, crashed
down to 79c. A year ago this time a bushel
for the same delivery was several cents
above a dollar. The demoralization pro
duced one failure, that of C. P. Doerr & Co.,
who were on the wrong side of the market
with 500.000 bushels on their' hands. Flat
foreign markets and an unusual grist of
bearish news on this side of the water was
what brought on the big slump.
A genuinely panicky feeling prevailed at
the opening, and the price quickly fell lo
from the lowest point touched Saturday.
Selling was general and persistent. Ex
hausted margins and ston-loss orders rut a
considerable figure. May opened at 79J
soc, out the selling pressure was enunuuus.
and in lesstlian three minutes it had touched
79c; but the indications from the reports
as to the visible supply were .that the in
crease would be as mnch as expected, and
some began to doubt if there would, indeed,
beany. The maiket quickly showed a dis
position to recover. Snorts began to buy;
the selling became less vicious, and themar
ket tin ned. Ma v broke to 79c. Droke again
to THJc, then improved a trifle, and at 12
o'clock was about 79c. During the last
hour the market developed greater weak
ness on very heavy cables and selling out of
the long wheat held for Doerr & Co., and
there was a gradual decline to 79c, the final
figures.
Corn showed a good deal of strength in
the face of the big decline in wheat. A good
manv commission houses had liberal orders,
which weie thought to be lor the bull
clique. M.iy opened at 39c; sold at S
395fc: split, then started np and sold to
40U4OXc; split, eased off to 40c and at
12 nrinrt sold nt I06c The market weak
ened diirinc the last hour, mainly in
svmnathv with wheat, and Mav fell to393c.
Oatsweie hardlvso firm as corn, but the
decline was slight." May sold at 2829e, and
at 12 o'clock was 2SJc Weakness prevailed
during the last hour. May touching 2Sc,
closing at 2Sc.
Hog products were higher on good cover
ing by shorts, moderate offerings and the
firmness in corn. The support given to the
provision market early was continued with
slight changes to the end of the session.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as corrected

.THE PITTSBUKG
TRADE ON THE MEND.
Business Branching Ont to' Meet the
Spring Bequirements.
APEIL SETTLEMENTS ALMOST DUE.
Promising- Schemes for Sural Hotels in
Course of Development
FEATURES OP MOXEYAND SPECULATION
With a flavor of spring in the air, it is
time for business people to take oS their
coats and assume the aggressive. They
have been doing very well, it is true, keep
ing the volume of trade considerably above
that of a year ago; but, lacking the courage
of their convictions, they have not risen to
,the height of their opportunities. Condi
tions should inspire fresh effort. Seldom
in the history of this country has the finan
cial position been more favorable lor an
aggressive campaign. There was good
reason for the lethargy which 'prevailed
last year. Monev was hard to get. Now
the weight of idle funds is positively op
pressive. The timidity of borrowers is unaccount
able. There may be overproduction in a
few specialties, but otherwise the markets
have good absorptive capacity. Ileal estate
presents a wide field for investment.
People are clamoring for houses to live in.
Business stands are at a premium. The
supplying of these wants would put large
amounts of money into circulation, relieve
the financial congestion, and stimulate
business generally. There are no portents
of calamity to arouse apprehensions for
the future. It is full of promise. Under
these circumstances well enough is not
sufficient when better is easily attainable.
Suburban Hotel Schemes.
Talk of new hotels has quieted down in
the city proper only to' be taken up in the
suburban districts. 'No city in the country
has more attractive natural environments
than Pittsburg. Their picturesque beauty,
bealthfulness and proximity to business
would keep many people from going abroad
during the summer if the right kind of hotel
accommodations were provided. There is
serious talk of supplying this positive want.
There are only two hotels in the East End
district that make any pretension to thor
oughness, and both of these are said to be
crowded to inconvenience. There is no pro
vision for the "summer boarder," who must
take his chances. With a good run of busi
ness seemingly assured, the erection of a few
first-class summer hotels in commanding
localities-at short distances from the central
part of the" city would seem to involve a
very small element of risk.
Several schemes looking to this result are
being talked up. It was mentioned in the
Ssnday Dispatch that Ira M. Burchfield
was dealing with an Eastern gentlemiu for
a hotel site in the SchenleyPark district.
W. C. Stewart has a similar transaction
under way with a local capitalist. Both of
these projects promise good results. Since
the resale of the Morrison property in East
Liberty talk has revived of converting it
into a hotel, but this is" doubtful. It is
again reported that a hotel will be erected
on the "McKay lot at Edgewood. It was
mentioned some time ago that Mr. T.
O'Leary, Jr., was study,ing plans for a hotel
on Frankstown avenue. It was- learned
yesterday that he has abandoned the idea
tor the season.
Special Features of Trade.
Fifth avenue, just beyond the Court House,
has been handicapped for years. Owners

TRAFFIC IK MONEY.
Farther Improvement Noted in the Call for
Bank Accommodations.
Tho .features of the local money market
yesterday were a slightly better inquiry for
bank accommodations and possibly a small
decrease in supply, denoting the drift to be
toward a more active state of general trade.
It is pretty sale to say that the time is near
when accumulation will cease altogether.
This should not be Interpreted as meaning a
tight market. It will take some time to find
employment for all the idle capital in the
country. Money piled up in the banks is a
detriment; in the hands of the people it is a
stimulus. There was no change in the rate
which ruled at 6 per cent on the regular
classes of loans. Bank clearings were $2,391,
F97 34 and balances $357,58S, 76.
The quaiterly settlement of the year 1892 is
due on Thursday next, and It will result in
heavy disbursements lor dividends and in
terest, and yet it will be made without anv
monetary disturbance, and as it looks now
without even a temporary flurry in the rates.
There will certainly be no stringency, for
the deposits of the city banks are well up
toward the highest notch, and the surplus is
large. So says a New Yoik authority.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at 12 per cent, last loan 2, closed
offered at 2. Prime mercantile paper, 46
per cent. Sterling exchange quiet but
steady at $1 86 for 60-day bills and $4 S3 for
demand.

THE WEEK OPENS WITH GOOD TRAD
ING AND STRONG PRICES.
Street Railways Drawing; Cards and Con
tribnteJIost of the Business Trading
. Largely of a Wholesale Character
Price Changes Show an Upward Drift.
The stock market beean the week yester
day with a stiff upper lip. Trading was
good, aggregating upwards of 1,200 shares,
and price changes were generally toward a
higher level.
Tho street railways were the feature, con
tributing the bulk of the business and focus
ing attention. They were all higher, witn
two exceptions, than Saturday's olose.
Birmingham, Duquesne and Manchester
u era the leaders of this group und of the
market.
Of the natural gassers,PIpeage and Wheel
ing were stronger, but Philadelphia, after
opening at Satuiday's close, was forced
down a good fraction. But the weakness
was not deep-seated or radical. The general
expectation that the May statement will be
tho best for several years is security against
much of a break. It is, rather, good reason
for further appreciation.
Luster was steady, but Electric finished a
trifle loner than the opening. Switch, Air
brake and Cable maintained their positions.
Trading was largely of the wholesale oider,

BIG CHANGES ALL LOSSES,
BUT NEARLY ALL OTHER STOCKS ARE
OP A LITTLE TEG.
Loulnvllle and Nashville and All the Coalers
Are Decidedly Weak Reading an Ex
ceptionRock Island Quite Active
General Bond List Quiet. ,
New Yokk, March 28. The stock market
to-day w as again a limited one, the uncer
tainty over the silver qnestion, the signing
of the nding bill by the Governor of New
Jersey and the shrinkage of loans by the
New York banks all tending to restrict oper
ations, and especially for the long account.
The buying throughout the day was of a
scattering order, while there was evidences
of renewed activity on the part of a leading
bear operator. This was especially notable
in the early dealings, when the pressure of
short stocks lor sale carried prices down
over 1 pcr cent. While the covering of shorts
at tho decline was sufficient to cause a full
rally, the resistance was so unexpected that
only in a few shares was tnero any further
animation manifested during the rest of the
day.
The arbitrage houses were not a factor in
the market, but the selling of Louisville an d
Nashville was heavy, and, as usual, was
made to appear as liquidation of Euiopean
accounts. Its movements, however, were
too spasmodic to have any other than a
speculative oiigin, and the samo held true
of those of all the leading active stocks. The
recent transactions in the sugar trade seem
ingly have had their full effect upon tho
stocks of the American Refining Company,
and evidences that the leaders deprecate
any movement in those stocks at present
are not wanting. The official denials of anv
trouble or disaffection among the Reor
ganization Committee of the Richmond and
West Point had some influence on the pre
ferred stock and the bonds to-day, but the
common stock was still inclined towenkness
until well into the day, when it tallied.
Northern Pacilic was comparatively quiet
and steady to-day, and the movement
ngainst it seems to have reached its limit.
The only other stock showing any material
life to-day was Bock Island, which gave evi
dence of the special attention from the bears
in the forenoon, and the Coalers, which
were all materially depressed in the after
noon, Reading being the one exception.
The ceneral market opened at insignifi
cant changes from Saturday's prices, but
the weakness of the leaders icsultedin some
small fiactional losses throughout the list.
These were afterwnid recoveicd in the gen
eral rally, and from that time dullness
marked the dealings and fluctuations were
without interest, though the late rise car
ried most of the list beyond last night's
figures. The transactions in St. Paulweio
rather large, but the changes in quotations
insignificant. The selling of Louisville and
Nashville was the one feature of the after
noon's dealings, other than the weakness in
the Coal stocks, and it steadily declined in
the face of the strength manifested by the
rest of the list.
The maiket closed quiet and firm, with
most stocks at or near the best prices of the
day. but only slightly better than first
prices. Tho impoitant changes, however,
were almost all in the direction of lower
prices, and Louisville and Nashville is down
fj, Jersey Central Vi, Delawaie and Hud
son j and Distillers' 1 per cent, while
Northern Pacific preferred is up 1J
The total sales of stocks to-day were 305,
093 shares, including: Atchison, 9,600; Chi
cago Gas, 3,200; Delaware, Lackawanna and
Westein, 4,100; Erie. 4,165: Lake Shore, 4b30;
Missouri Pacific, 3,100; Notthwestern, 7,775;
Northern Pacific prelerred, 42,675; Now Eng
land, 17,170; Reading, 37,730; Richmond and
West Point, 17.000: Union Pacific, 4,700.
Bailn ay bonds v. ere, as usual, quiet for the
general list, but tho heavv trading in the
Richmond and West Point bonds swelled the
total to $2,151,000, of which $684,000 was in
Richmond and West Point 5. The general
list showed more animation than usual of
late, however and the nnmber of issues
traded in show an increase, without material
change in quotations.

stocks on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday.

Office ot The Dispatch,
Pittsburg, Moxday, March 23. s
Codntby Produce (Jobbing Prices)
Monday's receipts of eggs by the Ohio river
were not so large as generally anticipated.
The railroads, however, more than made up
for the deficiency by river, and prices have
weakened. Sales were reported at 13c per
dozen for round lots, and single cases at 14c.,
A few such spring-like days as this will,
without doubt, bring prices down to 12c per
dozen. Supply of choice creamery butter is
short of demand, and markets are firm.
Tropical fruits are active, with a tendency
to higher prices. New Southern vegetables
are coming in more freely every day, and old
stock Is ceasing to he a factor in markets. It
rarely occurs that potatoes are so abundant
and low in price at thi season of the yearas
now. Tho clover seed boom, which lifted
prices in the early part of March to the high
est point for ytars, has spent its force, and
markets are 50c per bushel below the highest
price reached at that time. '
