Fiuidat. Maya, ISSO. J
In fruit and vegetable lines trade for the
week has been quiet, owing to chilly, wet
weather. Heary frosts have produced a
scarcity of asparagus. Everythirg above
ground was nipped yesterday morning.
Strawberries from the South are in abund
ant supply. A good article should retail
at 20c Jobbers hare been selling a fair
article at 10c to-day. Cucumbers and radishes
home grown are in good supply at rates cheaper
than last Saturday. Golden wax beans and new
peas from Florida are in the stalls.
Country butter has been drifting downward
the past week. A peddler who pays weekly
visits to our markets reports a great abund
ance of choice butter through his bailiwick.
Said he: "Isold to stores to-day a very good
article at 16c, and furnished the very best made
at 26c. The latter price was obtained for but
ter that would have brought 35c a few weeks
ago." The peddler who reported the above
Eaia mat ne naa never En own poultry as scarce
through the region he visits as it has been the
past few weeks.
The fish trade holds up unusually well, con
sidering that Lent is two weeks away. Trade
last week was fully as good as .'t was the clos
ing week of Lent. Tberearea yetnosignsof
a falling off. At the Diamond Market butcher
stalls aa improvement in trade ver trade of re
cent weeks was reported. The average con
sumer is evidently returning to the old re
liable meats after a long fast. Eggs grow
firmer, but retail pnees are the same as a week
ago.
Florists report a slight decline from trade of
last week. It ist o be remembered, however, that
last week and the previous week there was a
boom to tbe floral trade, and more decorations
were disposed of than ever before in the same
time.
Unusual activity in tropical fruits has been
reported by jobbers for the week past.
Following are the latest retail prices for
Saturday market basket supplies as furnished
by leading dealers.

Wheat Recovers Some of Its Lost Ground
Corn Bcorea an Adranoe Oau About
Steadv Hog Products Quiet
nnd the Feeling Easier.
Chicago A Tery fair business was trans
acted in wheat to-day, and the feeling was
stronger, with part of yesterday's decline re
covered. June showed more strength and ad
vanced IJfc and closed about le higher. July
opened a shade stronger than yesterday's
closing and gradually improved, advancing Ws
and closed about lc higher than yesterday.
There was nothing special in shape of out
side news to cause the firmness, which was at
tributed to a change in local sentiment, that
perhaps prices forthepresentwerelowenough.
At any rate there was less pressure to sell, and
the speculative offerings were not as heavy as
yesterday. "With fair buyings, partly by
"shorts." and for investment for quick turns,
the market was well sustained. Duluth and
Minneapolis are both lower to-day. Advices
from Dakota report no rain.
A fair business was transacted in com, and
the feeling developed was firmer. The stronger
tone was attributed mainly to the active ship
ping demand and to smaller anticipated re
ceipts. The near futures were relatively firmer
and the premium of the more deferred deliver
ies was narrowed somewhat. The market
opened at yesterday's closing pnees, was firm
and advanced c, ruled steady, closing Kc
higher than yesterday.
Oats were quiet, but steadier, and prices K
y2c higher. The amount of new business was
not large, and a good part of the trading con
sisted in selling May and buying J une and July
at c difference.
Little interest was manifested in hog prod
nets, and the feeling was easier. Tbe receipts
oi nogs were larger tnan generally anticipated,
accompanied with a moderate decline in prices,
and this feature had a tendency to enlarge the
offerings of products, especially for July deliv
ery. The general surroundines of the trade fa
vored tbe bear element, and the market lacked
support. Prices tavored buyers ind averaged
lower on all descriptions. Trading centered
mainly in July.

John McKee is theJDavy Crocket of the
local brokers. When he goes gunning for a
stock he generally brings it down. He was
hungry for Wheeling Gas yesterday, and
although he bagged considerable of it he had
to fight for every share he got Seeing that
he was determined to have it, the other bro
kers did nothing but run the price up on
him. Hut as that was business, and no
more than he expected, he neither kicked
nor backed out until he got about all he
wanted. His first bid was 33, at which price
five shares were handed over to him. This
opened the ball. His next bid was 33, at
which he raked in 100 shares. At 33 he
got 20; at 35 60; at S3, 125; at 33, 10,
at 34, 25 shares were entered to his account.
Els persistency attracted general attention
and was the only live feature of the market.
After it was all over Captain Barbqur said:
"When John makes up his mind that he wants
a thing he never rests until he gets it. He has
sand enough for two or three brokers."
Black & Baird yesterday put the finishing
touch to a real estate transaction Involving
5100,000 cool cash. Details of the deal were not
quite ready for laying before the public but
tbe property was described as "lying on a big
hill between tbe rivers," which locates it some
where above the city, probably on tbe line of
the main pipe of the Wllkinsburg water works,
as there are several tracts there that answer
to tbe veryindefinlte description. But no mat
ter where it is, it is a big deal, and furnishes
additional proof that real estate Is still in lively
demand.
While the architectural appearance of Pitts
burg ha improved to a wonderful degree
within the past dozen years or so. The future
promises still greater advances in the same di
rection. Among the buildings in course of
construction are those of the Commercial Na-.
tional Bank, the Oilman National Bank, the
Fidelity, the Vanfiergrift, the Gregg, and sev
eral others of 'almost equal importance. All of
these will be imposing in Mze, highly finished
and provided with the latest appliances for
comfort and convenience. This is at once an
evidence of prosperity and of an improved
taste on the part of our citizens. The new
Pittsburg will be one of the cleanest and hand
somest cities in the Union.
Country people appear to be as deeply inter
ested in the proposed Diamond street improve
ment as tbe city folk. They say the introduc
tion of cable cars, with two tracks, on Flitb
avenue, renders it dangerous for them to drive
over that thoroughfare to attend the markets.
The widening of Diamond street would not
only relieve them from this danger and annoy
ance, but would give a fresh impetus to the
country trade and largely increase the revenue
of the city. This is a new and forcible argu
ment in favor of the improvement.
'It would be impossible to tell just how much
money this cold, damp spell of weather has
cost us, bnt it is considerable," remarked an
East End gardener yesterday. "A large pro
portion of seed put in the ground early has
rotted, and replanting will be necessary, and
such vegetables as managed to thrust them
selves into the light give very little promise of
amounting to anything. But it is not too late
to repair damages, and a warm rain, followed
by clear, sunny weather, will bring things
around all right, except that the crops will be
late. SofarasI have investigated.no great
harm has been done to the early fruits and ber
ries. Another freeze, however, would make
almost a clean sweep of them."

A PAEALITIC STEOKE.
Oil Dull and Weak Lambs Still Beluse to
be.Slieared.
Tbe oil market was both dull and weak
yesterday. The highest price was 86c the low
est 85o, and tUe close 85Kc a drop of half a
cent from the opening. Scarcity of certificates
and high premium doubtless prevented a worse
slump than it e xperienced, aa there was a total
absence of outside support Tbe feeling at the
windupwas decidedly bearish. There seems
to be a growing indisposition to trade pending
the experiments of the Standard in refining
the Lima product Until that mooted point is
settled, one way or another, a radical change
seems to be out of tbe question. A broker
said: "The longs, who have been gratified with
high carrying rates, will probably miss the
golden opportunity of selling at the top of the
advance. I look for lower prices to-morrow."
Field news was not generally important The
last well bought by Mr. Herron, of Herron &

Clans Spreckels, the sugar king, said in a re
cent interview: "My own idea is that in a few
years we will import no sugar. Not only does
the beet grow to perfection in California, but it
can as easily be grown in Pennsylvania and In
all of the Central States. In California we get
from It 13 per cent of sugar to 9 per cent that
tbe European beet produces. A short time ago
the few remaining shares of a $5,000,000 stock
company, of which I own a majority, were sub
scribed in Ban Francisco and a new company
incorporated, which will be amply able to sup
ply America with beet sugar."
To this may be added the fact that Kansas,
as stated in an interview with a Butler county
farmer, which appeared in The Dispatch a
few weeks ago, is producing enough sugar
from sorghum to supply Its own wants. There
is no good reason why Pennsylvania should be
behind other States in the movement to obtain
a home supply of this necessary article.

.WAIT1SG AND WATCHING.
Stock Denllngs Restricted to a Few Shares
The Ontlookfor Philadelphia.
There were small and apathetic audiences at
both of the stock calls yesterday. Philadelphia
Gas was hammered down in tbe morning to S3,
bnt recovered some of the loss in the afternoon,
selling up to 38 and closing steady. It was
freely offered. Tbe feature of the day was
Wheeling Gas, which, under lively bidding by
John McKee, advanced a point on liberal sales,
and closed strong at the best figures. Electric
was a little more active, going at 57 and 67.
The Tractions were steady and quiet Ten
shares of National Marine Bank changed bands
at 107. Switch and Signal and the mining
stocks were weak and neglected. The total
shares aggregated 1,238 shares, of which Wheel
ing Gas furnished the bulk. T
Concerning Philadelphia Gas, which con
tinues to attract considerable interest, a broker
said: "I cannot see anything in the situation of
the company to justify tho lowprice at which
it is selling. Therefore I am compelled to
attribute it to manipulation on the part of a
clique who have orders for the stock, but are
trying to hammer it down before loading up."
Another broker held that tbe opening of a new
field was a tacit admission that the old wells
were giving out adding that the rejuvenated
Murraysville well would soon subside. Tho
same experiment badbeen tried In other places
and always proved disappointing. It was gen
erally admitted that the meeting on Monday
would have an Important bearing on tbe future
of the stock, as it would probably elear up
some knotty questions which have been hang
ing over it like a wet blanket Bids, offerings and

How the Rothschilds Are Gobbling tbe Oil
Trade of Russia.
North British Dally Mall.
The great Paris firm of Messrs, Rothschild
seems to have seriously taken the Russian
petroleum trade into its meshes, evoking there
by tbe wrath oi the patriotic Russian press.
Messrs. Nobel still apparently maintain their
independent position, but tbe smaller firms are
gradually being drawn into the net of the great
French financiers who have already made a
firm footing for themselves on Muscovite soil.
The Rothschilds export annually by rail on
tbelr own account over 2.500,000 poods
(one pood, SS pounds English) of petro
leum, while - no less than 41 private
firms supply them by contract with
13.500,000 poods, in addition to which 1,500,000
poods are sent by way of the Volga, thus mak
ing a total exportation of 17,600,000 poods per
annum. Taking tbe total consumption of
petroleum in Russia at 20,000,000 ponds, and
the foreign exports of other firms at 12,000,000
or 32,000,000 poods in all, it would follow that
more than half of all the Russian petroleum in
tbe market is already in the hands of tbe Roths-
ennus. nut mis is only the commencement, as
it is currently stated that ten more firms nave
quite recently concluded negotiations with tbe
Rothschilds. For all the petroleum which
the latter thus take on commission from the
smaller private producers, a certain sum is
deducted for leakage, storing and so forth,
averaging 15 copecks per pood, and amount
ing to nearly 2,500,000 roubles per annum. Tho
whole of this amount is not of course, so much
clear profit to the Rothschilds, as the actual
expenses probably do amount to 1000,000
roubles; but the system is not a good one for
tbe Baku producers, whose position reminds
one somewhat of that of the Russian peasants,
who sell their corn in autumn to the landlords
at 3 roubles the tchetvert, and buy it back again
in spring at 5 roubles for tbe same quantity.
But such an arrangement as that above-named
docs not suffice for tbe Rothschild firm, who
are using tbeir best endeavors to acquire pos
session of the petroleum district itself.
The firm continues to receive offers from
many solid producers to take over their whole
business, but up to the present the Rothschilds
have shown no great eagerness to do so. The
reason. of this disinclination is not tbat they do
not wish to augment their undertaking, but be
cause tbey see f nrther tban tbe Russian firms
think. Tbey ask themselves why tbey should
tbus spend millions in order to buy up the more
important producers, since by so doing they
would merely acquire ground already exhaust
ed with antiquated machinery and ancient
plant It is far better for them to take their
money to virgin soil. By following such a
policy they have already acquired about 120
acres of land which has never been worked,
and where almost any amount of naphtha can
be obtained without any deep boring. Thus
It appears that the petroleum industry is
rapidly becoming a pure monopoly; and
once the Rothschilds have made themselves
master of the market they will fill it with goods
of their Own, and at their own pi ice; and who
then can say what will be the limit of their de
mand. Already, savs our corresnondent the
Rothschilds have spoilt the Russian petroleum
trade by flooding tne foreign markets with in
ferior articles from all sorts of producers. It
will be quite impossible to compete with the
American petroleum in this manner, and the
Baku firms fear that tbe reputation of their
petroleum, which tbe great Nobel firm bad done
so much to improve, will be very considerably
lowered. Great surprise has been expressed
among them, too, that the Minister of Finance
should have opposed the passing of a law last
year which was proposed to forbid the acquisi
tion of petroleum land by foreigners.
They Break Under Covering by the Shorts
and Purchase for tbo Long Account,
Bnt Rally and Close nt the
Best Figures.
NEwYonK,May3. The stock market was
again fairly active and generally strong to-day,
but there was not tbe same uniform movement
that has characterized tbe dealings of the
previous days, and some stocks to-night are
slightly lower than last evening. The great
feature of the day was the buying of the
grangers' stocks, and they again led in the
point of activity and strength. The covering
of tbe shorts and purchases for the long ac
count by the western operators who have so
lately been of a bearish turn of mind still con
tinued and Burlington still felt the stimulus of
tbe remarkable increase in its earnings for
March, bringing the rest of the stocks of the
roads in that section of thaxountry with it
The fact of the probability of a renewal of the
negotiations between tbe union and Northern
Pacifies was not known until after the close of
business. There was a decidedly bullish feel
ing upon the street this morning and made
Union Pacific once more one of 'the leading
strong stocks.
There were $2,750,000 gold engaged for export
to-morrow, and while this bad some effect to re
strict the upward movement it could not stop
it, and its influence soon wore away though
there was an attempt to get np a slight scarcity
of money in the last part of the day upon the
strength of it The beats, as on vesterdav.
made a demonstration against tbe list in the
forenoon and actually succeeded in getting
some stocks down to a shade below thair open
ing figure at noon, but there was alarge amount
of Burlington called in which had been loaned
and it commanded a premium for use at one
time otli per cent per diem, and steadily rose
and reached a point within 1 per cent of par be
fore the close. A feature of the dealings also
was tbe heavy foreign buying of St. Paul, al
though the stock moved up only fractionally
but displayed a marked strong tone throughout
the day. The activity In Richmond and West
Point was a marked feature of tbe early trading
but after the nature of the probable action at
to-morrow's meeting was known, the stock fell
away and steadied down.
Tho opening prices were generally from to
per cent higher than last evening's figures
and these gains were further Increased in the
early trading by fractional amounts with
Lackawanna, Richmond and West Point and
Union Pacific leading. Tbe bears, however,
succeeded In bringing the general list down to
about tbe level of openiug figures before the
end of tbe first hour, after whicb there was a
period of stagnation, the only feature being the
weakness in Pullman, wbich declined about 4
per cent The grangers then came to the front
and developed marked strength which lasted
until the close, which was active and strong at
the best figures. Pullman is alone in showlnga
material loss to-night, being down lper cent,
but Burlington is up 2lA Oregon Navigation,
2; Chattanooga, 2; Union Paciflc 1& and
most of tbe others fractional amounts.
Railroad bonds were not in such nrgent de
mand as vesterdav. but the business done
aggregated $1,834,000, and a stiong tone was
noticeable throughout tbo day, resulting in
advances all through the list There were very
few marked changes among the active bonds,
however, and the important gains are generally
among the neglected class of bonds. The Bur
lington, Quincv and Denver 4s rose 2 to 91,
Denver South Park firsts 2 to 89. Denver
and Rio Grande Western certificates 2 to
87, Gulf Colorado Santa Fe seconds 2 to 95.

Tlie Iron Industry cf Sweden.
It is said that 859 iron mines are at present
open, although 233 are only worked sufficiently
to avoid the forfeiture of the concession. Tho
number of rolling mills in Sweden is put down
at 217, wbich turn out about 24,000,000 kilos, of
bars, the iron being generally refined by the
same process as the Lancashire works. In tbe
Uanncmora district, however, the iron masters
adhere to the system introduced-from Holland
by Luis de Gcer In the Seventeenth century,
and which requires 17 to 23 cubic meters of
charcoal for the production of one ton of iron.
Altogether about 6,400 hands are employed in
tho Swedish iron mines and rolling mills.

pains across the small of her back and lower
part of her body was almost unbearable. la
fact she suffered with all those diseases and
conditions peculiar to women. For three
months her mind was unbalanced, and for
months she was confined to her bed. She be."
came very weak and emaciated, so tbat sho(
onlv welched 98 pounds. No one expected her -
to live, much less get entirely cured. After A
receiving three months" treatment with thai
physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Insti-1
tute, 323 Penn avenue, who make a specialty of S
her disease, she says: 4
"I never want any one to suffer as I have fori
too past ij years, ine condition 01 my cases

I am only too glad to testify to my complet

I Would Have Been Dead,
Said Mr. Henry Robertson, "had I kept on In, J
tbe way I was going. I bad chronic bronchitis '1
and a weakness of my left lung that was fast
approaching consumption. I coughed and had
great pressure and tightness across my lungs,
with pain about my shoulder bladesL Mv ap
petite was very poor, and I had sour belching M
of gas from my stomach all the time. I doctored &
with the best doctors I could bear of, but was ;
fast getting worse. My kidneys also became
diseased. I had pain across my back, bloating'
of the bowels, and the water was highly col
ored with a red, brick 'dust sediment I became
melancholy and discouraged and thought I
could not live. Finally I began treatment with
the physicians of tbe Polypathlc Medical and
Surgical Institute, who are specialists for
chronic diseases, and although confined to the
bed when I commenced treatment and am 66
years old, my Improvement was very rapid, and. '
I feel that these physicians have saved my life. 1
I am getting stronger every day and feel almost
mce a young man again. '
