Provisional examinations for the school
teachers of Pittsburg, under the supervision
of Superintendent Luckey, commenced yester
day morning at the Central High School. One
hundred and fifty-eight applicant! presented
themselves for the ordeal. 40 of them being
members of the prospective graduating class of
ine normal xiign scnooi. jms appears to be
a large number, but each year it is growing
les. Of this number only SO are regular city
teachers, tbo greater number being applicants
from the city and county who desire to teach,
aud if statistics were taken not more
than four will get a position in tbe city.
The subjects yesterday were drawing, music
and physiology. The only change noticed in
the direction of the various subjects was In
drawing, where the trend was very perceptible
toward Industrial drawing. Next Saturday
the subjects for examination will be grammar,
al"ry. orthography and penmanship. But
3rMvher a11 mUsedup at the High School
was the absence or a lunchroom. Other years
tnejanitor occupied rooms in the building,
i,"apPll01 lunch to ail desiring it, but his
quarters are now being made into schoolrooms.
The business situation last week was as
much like that oi the previous six days as
pea is like pea. It was active and healthy,
with full production, good distribution and
steady values, which is all that need be said
of it, except, perhaps, to remark 'that the
bank clearings were $3,525,000 in round
nnmbers greater than for the same portion
of time last year.
Pittsburg is peculiar in one respect a
great deal of important business never
reaches the surface. If it all passed through
the Clearing House, as Is the case in other
cities, she would stand much higher in the
financial world, permanently ranking Balti
more, San Francisco and Cincinnati in the
volume of bank exchanges. Local pnde should
be sufficient inducement to make everything
count.
There are secrets in all activities. The bay
ing and selling of real estate is a conspicuous ex
ample. Dealings In bonds, stocks and petro
leum are more or less open, but it of ten hap
pens that when a man acquires or dispones of
apiece of property he pledges himself and
everybody else connected with the transaction
to absolute secrecy. This is nearly always tbe
case if the deal be a large one. Instances of
this secretiveness are not wanting. Tho facts
in regard to several important sales consum
mated a year and more ago are still withheld.
The watchword of the Equitable Insurance
Company when it started out to buy up the
Central Hotel block was secrecy. The syndicate
operating in tbe Squirrel Hill district and other
parts of the Twenty-third ward constantly keep
their fingers on their lips lest some tale-telling
word should escape them. Tho result of this
is that it is impossible to gauge the magnitude
of the real estate business of the city. About
all that can be said is that there is a great deal
going on. A little more publicity would help
the market.
Bmoklnc Them Ont.
When General Sherman, in the Atlantio
campaign, could not get at the enemy in front,
he flanked him. In dealing with realty writers
have frequent occasion to use similar tactics.
The public wants the news, and if it cannot get
it in allopathic it is willing to take it in homoeo
pathic doses. A meeting will be held to-morrow
to decide upon accepting au offer of about
14,060 a front foot for a piece of business prop
erty on a prominent street. Those inteiested
in the deal think it will go through. A dicker
Is pending for a tract of over 100 acres on the
line of one of tbe railroads. If sold it will be at
once laid out in lots. Several hundred lots in
a new plan on the Sonthside will soon be put
on the marker. The deal involves over $75,000.
Over 100 acres will soon be platted and two
manufacturing plants erected in a neighboring
town. These are merely pointers to show that
those who think tbe real estate market flat on
its back are mistaken. More might be given.
The Inquiry for small properties is almost up
to high water mark.
Tho report yesterday of a deal in Fast End
realty, Involving about $100,000 has a flavor
of antiquity. It relates to tho Fossctt and
Schmertz properties, fronting on Craft avenue,
one of which was bought by a ell-known busi
ness man and the other by the Duqnesne Trac
tion Company. Tbe trade was made and re
ported several months ago, but owing to a de
fective description in the title it has not been
closed up. The only other property on that
avenue In that vicinity worth 1100,000 Is owned
by Mr. Clark and it had not been sold up to
yesterday evening.
Flute Becoralnjr Popular.
There has been considerable talk among cap
italists and real estate brokers within the past
few months in regard to flats or apartment
houses, and tbe subject has grown familiar to
newspaper readers, which means everybody.
At first public sentiment was strongly against
them, but, as discussion went on, converts were
made, and now they are" decidedly popular
and promise to become, at no distant day, an
important feature of the city.
So far the experiment of building flats and
living in them has been on a small scale, but it
has proved entirely satisfactory, and tbe de
mand for them is far beyond tbe snpply. Those
completed out Filth avenue are occupied from
bottom to top, and of three or four in course of
construction every floor has been engaged.
This success has encouraged other capitalists
to turn their attention to this style of building,
and quite a number have been projected, sev
eral of them of large size. In two or three
cases ground has been purchased aud plans
drawn up.
There is no city in the country where flats are
needed so badly as in Pittsburg. Business is
pushing everything else to the wall, and is de
manding more room. Space in the city proper
is, therefore, a prime necessity, and this can be
secured in no way so well as by building flats.
for 53,700; he also sold to J. Elk a lot 25x100 feet,
on Inwood street. Twenty-first ward, for 500.
Black A BUrd sold for the Murtland heirs

Walter Hay lot No. 83, in Valley View place, to

fronting 24 feet on Benton avenue and in depth
110 feet to an alley, for 1400. ,
Baxter, Thompson ft Co. placed a mortgage
for $550, for two years at S per cent, on Brushton
property.

A Leader Badly Needed to Stir Up the
Stock fllarket.
Yesterday closed a dull and nneventf ul week
in the market for local securities. Sales were
only 235 shares, all contributed by Westing
house Electric, which was fractionally
stronger. The rest of the list showed very lit
tle variation either way. It was in the rut
Sales for the week were 2,874 shares, of which
La Noria furnished 1,000.
So much has been said about conditions and
prospects as to render further comment un
necessary at present. There has been no ma
terial change In any of the companies repre
sented on tbe stock board. It is safe to say, how
ever, the standing of most of them is better to
day than at any previous time, and the only
reason for the prevailing dullness is lack of
orders. Closing bids and offers were:

Activity in tbe Chartlers field snows no signs
of abatement, and it will undoubtedly be tbe
center of attraction for oil men this season.
The strikes made are causing a great deal of
astonishment, but it Is now uttled that the field
is a good one. much better than anyone thought
when Mr. O'Brien first drilled in a good well.
Reports from there continue favorable. All
the wells are holding up. and the McKee's
Rocks Oil Company's well is doing in the

starving the market to death.

Movements In Real Eetntr.
The market for real estate was entirely satis
factory last week. There have been similar
periods when more actual business was trans

tions or a more promising outlook. It is the pre
vailing opinion that values are about at the top
for some time. ,
Among the more important transactions re
ported yesterday was the sale by Samuel W.
Black & Co., for L. T. Yoder. of a Tot 150 feet
front each on Oakland avenue and Atwood
street, and a depth of 200 feet, with a nine-room
brick residence, for 122,000. The purchaser will
sell 103 feet and occupy the rest.
Another important deal was made byThomas
Liggett, who sold a block of 31 lots in the Twen
tieth ward, near nun avenue, at a price ap
proximating (20,000. The purchaser Intends
building a number of nice residence houses for

money yesterday tbe banks are in a stronger
position than for some weeks. This caused a
lively covering of shorts, and in the last half
hour of business prices advanced sharply, es
pecially In a few of the leading shares which
have been sold short to a largely of late.
Tho opening was rather heavy under the
sales of the professional element, but tbe regu
lar list Immediately developed a firm tone, not
withstanding tbe fact that there was great ex
citement in Sugar Refineries and a sharp and
material decline In Us price from 90K '' eTen
ing to 87. The stock was very feverish through
out, but participated in the later revival and
recovered almost all of its early loss. Lead
was Inclined .to follow, but its movements, as
well as Its animation, were on a much smaller
scale. Distillers' Trust, however, was a marked
exception, being advanced on tbe reported ab
sorption of opposition concerns and a promised
increase in tbe rate of dividend. In the regu
lar list the only stocks showing any important
movement was a step which was steadily appre
ciated even wbtn the rest of the list wero sag
ging. A few specialties showed wide fluctua
tions, but the rest of the list were traded In
over a narrow range. The close was active aud
strong at about the best prices of the day.
Most stocks show slight gains for tbe day. but
Distillers' Trnst is up 3 and St. Paul 1 while
Sugar is down 2
uallroad bonds were qnlet and displayed a
heavy tone throughout the session, with the
result of leaving most of the list only slightly
changed from last evening, while the few Im
portant changes were about equally divided.
The sales reacbed $651,000, tbe business being
unusually evenly distributed. Among those
which are higher are Richmond and West
Point trust 6s, lj'at 60.
The sales of bonds for the week aggregated
$11,875,000.
Government bondsbavo been dull and steady.
State bonds have been dull and featureless.
Tbe -Poji says: The market was feverish and
unsettled during the week, and the net result
of all changes was to leave tbe majority of
stocks from to 2 per cent lower than a week
ago. The bank statement was more favorable
than expected, and prices advanced In conse
quence. The annonncement that the Atchison
bad acquired San Francisco and full possession
of the Atlantic and Pacific was reflected In
higher prices for the San Franclco, while
Atchison was only firm. The Coal stocks were
lower, Reading, Lackawanna, and Delaware
and Hudson having been down 1 to 2 per cent
for tbo week. The Grangers and Southwest
ern were only fractionally lower, but the mis
cellaneous stocks generally were higher. Rail
road earnings continue heavy, notwithstanding
the war in rates among the Western roads, and
there is reason to believe that the reports from
tbe West are considerably exaggerated. The
money market, while firm, has been well sup
plied with funds and the general temper of
speculation is strongly bullish.

A Good Bank Stntement 8ilr Up Basin
The Whisky Trust.
8PICLVI, TO JOHN If. OABXIT ft CO.l
New YoBr, May 21. The market opened
this morning with an inclination to weakness
Sugar Trust bad a rapid decline to 87c within
the first 15 minutes. The general market, how
ever, held dull and steady, tbe expectation be
ing that tne bank statement was going to show
a decline in reserves, but this was speedily dis
sipated by tbe official statement showing an
increase of $1,458,425 in the bank reserves, which
had a very inspiring effect upon the entire list,
closing them strong at better figures, with St.
Paul in the lead at 79.
Tne reaction to which we referred yesterday
did not prove to be a very formidable one, and
the market certainly has all the indications of
preparing for a still further advance. Among
the specialties to-day which attracted attention
was the stock of Whisky Trust. It rose from
44J to 48, and, tbe advance in it was well sus
tained. It is said it has absorbed tbe last and
tbe largest outstanding distilleries, and iti
dividends will be increased from ii per cent
monthly to per cent next month, which will
be followed by a further increase of per cent
monthly. Should this rumor "nrove to be true
the stock will soon attract general attontion
among tbo specialties, and will likely record
much higher figures.
The Insiders ot the Richmond Terminal seem
now to be unanimous In their sentiment that
tbe proposed plan is the best that could be ad
vanced in the interests of the stockholders, and
their public statements are of the mo3t pro
nounced and bullish character. Willi th6ir
support, the possibilities of a still further ac
quisition to this great line of railway by the
possibility of a deal with the Baltimore and
Ohio will give a further impetus to this stock
in the near future.

New Yobjc, May 24. The stock market to
day was quiet but developed a strong tons in
tbe regular list, with tbe result of closing the
majority of stocks fractionally higher than last
evening. The operations were more than unu
sually large ot late for professional tccount,
and operators were inclined to wait for the
bank statement, which was expected to be a
bad one, as tbe absorption of money by the
Treasury was estimated at $1,700,000, while the
net gain from the interior was believed to be
$1,100,000-

Free Selling Causes a. Break I" Wheat,
Which Bad Crop News Falls to
Oonnteract Corn, Oats and
Park Features,
CHICAGO A good business was transacted
in wheat to-day and trading was more
general both on tbe buying and sell
ing side. There was some buying at the start,
but tbe most urgent orders wero soon filled,
and with rather free offerings a weak feeling
set in. Operators soon after the opening be
came impressed with the idea that some one
was selling wheat very freely and loading up
the crowd, and this started a general desire to
realize. It was thought that parties who were
reported as being strong bulls the past few
days had started to do some selling to-day, but
whether this was for the purpose of breaking
prices in order to get a better hold on the mar
ket or for the purpose of unloading, it is diffi
cult to say. At any rate the feeling was un
settled. The opening sales Tor July were Jacumler
the closing yesterday, held steady for awhile.
and then declined to a point 2c below outside
prices, fluctuated some and closed about ljjc
lan yesterday. Mav closed abont zvfo
August closed about Zg and Septem-
of bad corn news was again received from
various winter wheat sections, a good deal of a
repetition of tho past few days.
Corn There was a continuation of tbe weak
feeling manifested during the greater part ot
yesterday's session, and a still further decline
.was recorded on ail futures. Trading was of
moderate volume and mainly local. The mar
ket opened at about the closing yesterday
and under free offerings gradually sold K
off, ruled steady and closed KKc lower than
yesterday.
Oats were fairly active, but weaker and
lower, due to large receipts. A fair demand
existed, but tbe Selling pressure 'was too strong
especially ror Jfay, which receded 2c from
yesterday's close and closed at about inside
figures. The more deferred futures sympathized
with May, and receded JiQllic. closing at
about the bottom figures.
There was very little doing In pork. Opening
sales were at 15c advance, bnt prices receded
7ir10c, and the market closed quiet
Only a moderate trade in lard with a steady
feeling. Prices ruled about 2Vc higher, closing
steady.
The short rib market attracted very little
attention. Prices exhibited very little change.

The Wonderful Success of Drs-,

CATARRHAL TROUBLE UNABATED

"I think my peculiar work was the causa
of my trouble," said Mr. Anberle. "I am
an ironworker by trade and work at the
large rolls, handling the heavy Iron as it
comes from the furnace one of the hottest
places in the mill."
The speaker was Mr. Ottman Anberle,
who lives in Versailles township, east end,
two miles east of McKeesport. He is em
ployed in the Bemmler Iron Mills at
Demmler Station.
"I would become very warm," he contia
ued, "and between the heats would step ont
into the air to cool off. I caught cold alter
cold, but paid no attention to them.
"My nostrils would clog up and I began
to have headaches continually. It was not
a sharp pain at first, bnt jnst a dull, heavy
feeling over my eyes. I seemed to have a
cold all the time, and was steadily becoming
worse. My throat became raw and was all
choked up. A dry, hacking cough set In.
There would be dropping back of matter
into my throat, and I was all the time
hawking and raising to clear it. I had
roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. My
eyes became dim and watery.
"Sharp pains, stabbing like a knife,
would shoot through both sides of my chest.
They were so severe at times as to almost
take my breath away. Always there was a
feeling there as ii a heavy load was resting
npon my chest crushing the breath ont of
rue. I breathed with great difficulty and
each breath would be accompanied by a
whistling sound. Some times when I would
work two or three pieces of iron.I would have
to sit down to breathe and allow my
brother to take my place at the rolls.

"My sleep did me no good. I would wake
up feeling more tired than when I went to
bed. I had no appetite in the morning. X
was always sick alter eating my breakfast.
It was a feeling as if I wanted to vomit. All
this unfitted me for work. Often I felt as
though I would have to stop work entirely.
I was more like a dead man than a living
one.
"I read of Drs. Copeland & Blair and
determined to see them. I did so,
and finding their charges even lower than
patent medicines placed myself under their
care.
"Their treatment certainly did wonders for
me. I am feeling as well as I ever did.
In fact, all the symptoms I mentioned have
left me and I owe my recovery to Drs.
Copeland and Blair."

PERMANENT AND LAST! N a
Addition. I Evidence by Mail.
One year ago last April, Mr. Thomas O.
Harper, of Braddoct, Fa., began treatment
bv mail with Drs. Copeland Ss Blair. In
stating hi. case by letter he complained of
headaches, a bad t.iste in the mouth, cough
ing and raising phlegm, sharp pains in the
chest, loss of appetite, a very sore, weak
condition of tbe stomach, with constant
nausea and distress. After one month's
treatment he was pronounced cured. The
22d of May, this year. Mr. Harper called on
these eminent specialists and said: "Doctor,
I just came in to tell you that I have not
had the slightest return of any of my former
trouble in short, that your cure one year
ago was a permanent cure, and to thank you
again."
A short time ago Mr. John "Wright, of
Chicsgo Junction, O., placed himself under
treatment by mail with Drs. Copeland Ss
Blair. In writing about his trouble ho
said:
"Two years ago I was ill vith lung fever,
and Dever f nlly recovered from it. I could
not sleep at night. The mucus would drop
back Into my throat, and I would wake up feel
ing a. though I was choking. Large scabs
would come from my nostrils whenever I used
my handkerchief. They would often bs
streaked wltb blood. My eyes were affected,
and were continually running a watery sub
stance. I was nnabie to attend to my duties,
feeling weak and tired all the time. I had a
hacking cough and ringing noises in my ears.
Gradually I noticed I was becoming deaf. I
would have dizzy spells, and my memory failed
me. I had pains In my chest and had no appe
tite. "A short time after I commenced treating
with Drs. Copeland & Blair I noticed an im
provement. The dropping in my throat
stopped, my cough and tbe pains in my chest
left me. I can now sleep and eat well. The re
sult has been a great surprise to me, as I had
given up all hope of ever getting well again."
