A little incident happened latclv, which is a true bill, and shows how much interest some men have in the welfare of the order. A mem br of one ol the lodges in Allegheny City, who lesides in Pittsburg, by the way, and it safe to aiscrt has not been inside of his logde room since being initiated, had occasion to pav an assessment lately and forgot the location of his loufie. He strolled around and finally landed at a lodge hall on Ohio street, and passed in his luouey enclosed in a slip of paper, never in quiring whether it was an A. O. U. W. meeting or no , and forgetting to attach his name also. His mistake was discovered later on, when he set about to recover the money. At last ac counts he was still out of pocket. Select Knlshts.

A FEW MORE DEALS CLOSED DP. Dow a Professional Man Was Helped by Ilia Best Girl's Mother. PACTS ABOUT GOLD AND SILYER C0IXS Business in real estate was rather quiet the fore part of the week, but yesterday nearly all the brokers reported a decided change for the better. A member of the firm of "W. A. Herron & Sons said: "I think the lull is about over. We have had as many inquiries to-day as usual, and sev eral deals have been started that will prob ably go through." Charles Somers & Co. made a similar statement. Baxter, Thompson & Co. ako noted the improvement, and added: "There is no danger of a collapse. There are too many buy ers for that. The business has about doubled within a year, but has not jet reached full growth. We look for an active market from this time on." Straub & Morris said they were very busy, but found it difficult to close up transactions. Black & Baird, Samuel W. Black and others took a cheerful view of the situa tion, and predicted brisk times the rest of the season. Among the more important transactions re ported are theso: Bamuel W. Black & Co. sold a business property on Penn avenue fur $20, COO. It will be occupied by tho purchaser. J. C. Reill7 sold to James Phelan a lot on North Highland avenue, near the residence of William Fhnn. for 813.000. The two deals referred to a few days ago one a business property down town, involving SOO.OOO, and the other 20 acres down the Fort Wayne road are still on the string, but mak ing progress. Five hundred dollars were paid on the latter yesterday afternoon. From business to romance is not as long a step as it looks. They are frequently found in combination, as the following incident in the life of a prominent professional gentleman of this city shows. He told the story yesterday in language substantially as follows: "When I left college and came to Pittsburg I didn't hive a dollar of my own. I felt that I could succeed if I could only get a start. But how to get the start was what troubled roe. I was courting a girl, the daughter of a widow who lived in the East End, and owned considerable property. One day a man ollered to sell me a house and lot at a low figure. It was just what I wanted for an offico and dwelling, for I in tended to go to housekeeping when I married the girl. I didn't have a dollar, as I said before, but I determined there and then to buy tho house, and I did. How did I do it? Well, It was a cheeky proceeding, to say theleast. I went to my prospective mother-in-law, laid the case before her and asked her to endorso mv note for tho necessary amount. She did so, and in a week I was owner of the house and had my shingle suspended over the door. Of course I married the girl, and wo have lived happily together ever since." The gentleman is worth at least (230,000, and he attributes his success entirely to a dogged determination, formed early in life and un flinchingly adhered to, to succeed. He knew no such word as faik The incident is a strik ing illustration of the truth of the adage: "Where there's a will there's a way." Let the faint hearted take courage. Having thrown out a few hints to direct at tention to the method necessary to pursue to acquire money, which may be summed up in one word push a few remarks on money Itself, or rather, on the peculiarity of certain coins, may not beimiss "A great many peo ple have an idea that tho value of a coin de pends upon somo peculiarity in its appearance or age," said a coin broker tho other day. "Now, this has nothing to do with it all," he continued. "1 he only thing that makes a coin valuable to the collector is its rarity. For in stance," be said, throwing down an ordinary looking silver dollar. "That coin is worth H, and the silver dollar of 1801, which looks just like it, is worth at least WOO. There is only one of them in this city. Many people think that the silver quarter of 1853 is worth a Dig premium. The fact is, the 1853 quarter with out the arrows beside tho date is worth S3, but tho others bring only their face value. It is just the same with the 6-ccnt pieces without the word 'cents.' They are floating around everywhere. "We have many calls for new coins and bills, and people are willing to pay a handsome pre mium for them, too. I am sure I don't know what they do with them, unless they give them as presents. The bangle craze seems to have died out, but gold dollars are in good demand. Thev are scarce, though, and bring from $1 GO to 2, Tho Government has stopped coining them, except as proofs. It is said the Chiueso send a great many gold coins to tbeir native country. They are fond of ornaments, and many rich Chinamen use American gold pieces for buttons. They also use them for charms, believing that a large number of coins worn on the person is a sure protection against disease and accident." THE WEEK IN STOCKS. Dull nnd Featurelcn All Through, With Few Important Price Changes. Plenty of figures were made at the stock call y eterday, but without much in the way of business to show for them. The feeling was buoyant, and the bidding covered almost all the specialties on the list Sales were 150 share, only 50 of which were regular. There were no important price changes. Bndgewater Gas was fractionally stronger, while Philadelphia, Chartiers and Wheeling about held their own. Citizens' Traction im proved a trifle, but Pittsburg and Central sub mitted to small concessions. Pleasant Valley was steady; Westmghouso Electric was a shade better; Luster lost ground; btuk and insurance snares w ere in aenianu at lull prices. Ice main feature of the market throughout the week was dullness. Pnce as compared with the previous week, show few material changes. The only positive gains were In Citi zens' Traction and Bridgewater Gas. The de clines were unimportant, Luster being the chief sufferer. The steadiness of the market in spite of the extreme dullness is encouraging. If nothing more. SXCHAKQK STOCK. Bid. Asked. Pitts. Pet.. Stock & Metal Ex 475 BANK STOCKS. Bid. Asked. Arsenal S3 ....

FOOD FOR PESSIMISTS. Figures Showing a Lnrgo nnd Stendy Ex pansion of Business. Manager Chaplin, of the Clearing House, was happy yesterday. His report showed that the exchanges for the week were the largest of the j ear, and nearly 9,000,000 better than for the corresponding time last year. This shows that while the railroad imbroglio may have caused somo uneasiness, it had no effect upon business except to Increase it. This may sound like a paradox, but the fact remains all tho same.

The oil market yesterday was somewhat above the average of late in strength and activity. Business was brisk for the short ses sion, due principally to covering of the shorts. The opening was abont steady at 85. The shorts then took hold and run it up to 8 This support withdrawn, the market sagged to fc4 which point was reached shortly after II o'clock. The shorts then went in again, and the price shot up to Sj, from which it broke to 84X, where it stood at the finish. Tho prin cipal fluctuation' were: Oiitmnj, 85; highest, 85Ji; lowest, S4 closing, 84X- Refined was firmer, and the outlook good for a steady if not stronger market this week. Tho week's clearances were 2,372,000 barrels. There was nothing in the field news to unduly elate the bears or depress tho bulls. The Shaffer farm well of Jennings, Calhoun Co., in the Chartiers Valley field, looks like a dry hole from present appearances, with not much hope from deeper drilling. The South Penn uii company's test wen on tno Alexander farm, near Bridgovillc, Miller's run, was expected in last night. Tho Amett well of E. M. Hukill, In Marion county, W. Va. is being drilled to the lower sands. This will be a matter of considerable interest until the result of the last drilling is known. The Hundred Foot Oli Company is also drilling on the Pntchard farm, a littlo south of the Amett well, and is about ready for the first casing. The striko of a 100-barrcl-an-hour well at Limestone, N. Y., does not open up any new territory, as it was around there that tho first wells in tho Bradford held were found. Those having oil in tho Tidewater Pipe Line can sell it to the Keystone Bank hereafter at tho market price. Previous to this they had to send it to 'litnsviltc, so that the now arrange ment will be of much advantage to them. A West Virclnla irikr. rSPECIAL. TELKOKAM TO TUS D1SPATCR.1 Edbeka, W.

PEONOMCED ADVANCES. A Whirl in Rnllronil Shares, With Many Strons Features Balls Force Shorts to Cover Bank Slntement Favor able Rest Prices Last. New York, April 19. The stock market to day was more active and displayed a stronger tone than any Saturday's market for a long time and the advances were more pronounced than on any previous day this week. The gen eral expectation of a favorable bank statement rendered the professional element, which mo nopolized the greater portion of the business done, rather bullish, and the bulls took hold with considerable vim, compelling the cover ing of many short contracts. As usual of late Sugar Refinerips and Lacka wana were the most conspicuous features of the market, especially in the matter of activity; both were strong and made material gain', though they were measured at the close by fractions only. Tho sales during the first hour were very large, but after that time it became more quiet and reacted slightly, giving place to Lackawanna and Louisville and Nashville, which became tho leaders of a decided upward movement in the stocks of the regular list. There were more evidences- of outside inter est in the speculation to-dav, notwithstanding the professional character of the dealings, than have been seen for some time. The trading extended to a specially large number of low priced shares, and in them several marked movements were made, the Chesapeake and unio, tne itlo lirande. western', witn Mexican Central. Wheeling and Lake Erie. Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and St. Louis, and Man hattan being most prominent. The advance met with no setback, and the close was active and strong at the best prices of the day. Railroad bonds were active, the sales of all issues reaching $881,000, which business was unusually evenly distributed. The market was devoid of special feature, however, and it was only steady to firm, and the final changes aro generally insignificant. Keokuk andDes Moines lsts lost 3 at 103, and Erie 1st consols 2 at 134. The sales of bonds for the week agirregated $8,219,000. The JPost says: The factors in the advance for the week were the improved condition of the money market, tho movement of currency in this direction and the buying on the part of tho bears to cover short contracts. The daily reports from the West:have been of a bearish character, but tho value of such statements is well realized and they were without any effect to influence prices for stocks. The appearance of the bank statement was something of a dis appointment, in that the increase in the sur plus reserve was only $872,050 which was less than expected, and during the last 15 minutes of business prices sold oil ffi. The gain In tho money reserve was only $53:C 400. but the deposits were reduced $L854,000. making a reduction of $338,050 in tho required reserve. Loans were coutracted $2,788,200. The statement does not indicate the actual condi tion of tho banks at the clo'e of the week, which is considerably stronger than to-day's re turns make it appear. The feeling at the close of the week was more bullish than for some time past, but after the large advance of the past week a reaction in prices would cause no surprise.

Balls Get Control nnd Toss Things Up Pointers for Investors. Special to John M. Oakley A Co. : New Yobk, April 19. The stock market to day conducted itself in a manner to satisfy tho most ardent hulk The early dealings wero moderate in volume and steady in price. Sugar Trust and Lackawanna showing the greatest buoyancy. Later the entire list moved up In harmony and the close was at about tlje best figures, with the promise of a higher market next week. The bank statement was favor able, showing a gain in actual cash of over half a million, but, what was more important, a re duction of the loans of about two and thres quartcr million?. The stock market was higher through tho week, and the reduction of loans probably shovs that the buyers have not been on mar gins so mucn as on outright purchases. Tho Western rate situation continues as blue as ever, but there are forces at work that will bring order out of chaos, and this we believe in the direction of combination between other lines similar to that made between Union Pacific and Northwest. There was, indeed, to day a suggestion of the course that this will take in solving the problem in the report that the Rock Island and St Paul bad made some arrangement with (he Union Paciflcconcerning tlieuseof a short part of tho tatter's line. Wo continue to favor tho purchase of Union Pacific and Oregon Transcontlental. Lackawanna was above 140 to-day, and we expect to see it at ISO before long, and we hap pen to know that good people are buying It. Reading ran up nearly one point on light trans actions, and speculatively, not Intrinsically, ws regard it a purchase. We think tho Vanderbllt stocks mult soon rise. They have not yet dona so in full sympathy with other prices. The closing was strong. Jloslon Atch. A Ton MX Stocks. Atlantic Itn.lnn A Sfnnt 15K . 484 270 .

MAEKETS BY WISE. Bad Crop News Itlado a Pretext far Ball Ins Wheat Corn and Oats Firmer Pork Getting Into n Rut. CHICAGO A strong feeling was developed in wheat to-day, and prices wero all around higher. July is now taking tho lead, and the interest centered principally in this future. Outside business was fair. It was claimed that a prominent local operator sold Caua freely both for May and June delivery, and at the si me time credited with buying freely for July, the impression being that the selling of the former was done to hold the market in check some to enable the buying of July. The market opened 'Ac higher for May. and llc higher for July than the closing on 'change yesterday. May declined IJc, recovered some and closed about c higher than yesterday. July further advanced lc abovo opening fig ures, then declined Hie, fluctuated and closed 1KC higher than yesterday. Bad crop news, strong cable advices and rumored large ex port purchases at tho seaboard yesterday stimulated buying and assisted in advancing prices. The anticipated decrease in the acre age of wheat in the Northwest continues to have its effect upon the market. Corn was traded In to a fair extent, but the range was narrow. The feeling was rather firm, and the undertone, if anything, was easy at times. The selling was quite general, while the buying was confined mostly to two or three largo commission houses. The market opened about Jc better than the closing yesterday, was firm and sold up slightly with wheat, eased off ic, rallied again, ruled steady, and closed Jc better than yesterday. Oats were active, stronger, and prices ranged higher. The feature of the trading was tho sharp demand for May from shorts, also from lougs, who wanted to get price? up. The former were scared at the light stocks of contract grades here. On the advance of c for May there was good selling by receiving houses, and prices yielded under the pressure, but the mar ket closed JigJsC higher than yesterday. The more deferred futures were helped bv the strength in May, and prices advanced c, but receded slightly, and closed steady. Very little business was done in pork, and the fluctuations in prices were slight. Early in the day prices declined 7c, but rallied again, and closed at about medium figures. A quiet and easyf eeling prevailed in lard. On the whole range prices declined 2K5c, and the market closed steady. Trading was fairly active in ribs, especially during the early part of the day.- Early sales were made at 2oc decline, but this reduction was quickly recovered. Later the market ruled lower, closing at about inside figures. The leading futures ranged as follows- Wheat No. 2. April. S9K&89S8JS88c: May. S990Sat3S9c: June. 908UoQsy) 89Jic; Julv, 87--a3KS7as7c.

Mr- F. R. Grimm Gives an Interesting Statement of a Personal Character. HIS EVIDENCE IN FULL. "I will state my case as clearly as I can, and then yon can judge of its importance for yourself. To me it was very serious, as I was in an exceedingly bad condition, and despaired of ever getting well." The speaker was Mr. F. B. Grimm, whom the writer met at his pleasant home, on Frankstown avenue, North Dallas, a short distance out on the Pennsylvania railroad. He is connected with E. McCall & Co., at the stockyards in East Liberty. "It was two years ago," continued Mr. Grimm, "that I first noticed my trouble. It came on with a severe cold, which I con tracted through exposure incident to my work. I paid no attention to it, and finally it resulted in a case of chronic catarrh. Mr. T. R. Grimm, Irankstaum avtnue, North Dallas. "My head and nose wero constantly stopped up. My eyes were weak and watery. There were roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. I had a dull, beaw pain in my forehead. I could feel the mucus dropping back into my throat. I was constantly hawking and raising; "X used various remedies and was under tho care of different physicians, but could obtain no relief. I grew worse rapidly. The pain in my head became very severe. For six months I was not without .i headache for a single day. I be came quite deaf. My appetite failed me. It was a rare thing for me to eat moro than one meal in 24 hours, and half the time I was unable tore tain that. My bean would beat rapidly. Tho palpitation would be followed by a slow, irreg ular beating and a feeling of faintness. Sharp pains would shoot through my chest, extending as far as the shoulder blades. "My n.ghts wero the wort. I conld not sleep. The mucus would drop back into my tnroat anil nearly cuokb mc. x uau id sit up ia bed, and cwngh anil raise to obtain relief. Night sweats set in aud weakened me terribly. 1 was reduced in weight from 150 to 120 poundj. My limbs were- so weak that often it seemed as though they cwuld not bear my weight. "It was while In this condition that I read of the wonderf nl snecess Drs. Copeland and Blair were having with cases similar to mine. I de cided to try their treatment, and called at their office. They did not promise to perform any miracle, but I felt that they understood my case, so placed mj'self under tbeir care. The result has been simply wonderful. I feel like a different man. I have no more head aches nor pains in my chest, sleep well, and have a good appetite: hive gained in weight, and. to be brief, all the symptoms I mentioned have disappeared and I feel that I am now a well man. I was engaged entirely at night work, and this retardnd my progress. Indeed, thev did exceedingly well to get me on my feet again as soon as they did under the existing; circumstances."
