Good Secnrltr Makes Safe Investment.
A new feature in the matter of investments
is offered by tbe American Loan and Trust
Company, of 113 Broadway, New York, in con
junction with Charles A. Fenn, Treasurer, and
Messrs. Frazer & Co., bankers. 53 Broadway,
of an Issu6 of $750,000 of Treasurer's trust cer
tificates of indebtedness of tbe United States
Land and Investment Company, carrying a se
curity deposit in Holland Trust Company of
the first mortgage bonds issued at about llii
per cent of tbe valueif the property, estimat
ed to be worth J6.000.UOO, from which an income
of $350,000 a year is being derived by tbe com
pany, which is equal to about 6 per cent on this
valuation. Another feature of this security is
the fact that a prominent banking house in
New York has underwritten and guaranteed
tho entire subenption. Tbe fact that these
certificates carry interest from January L 1690
at 6 per cent per annum, makes tbe price to the
purchaser at present 95. which, considering the
security and tbe guarantees that it carries
seems to make It an exceptionally safe one. '

DEALINGS IN CASE.
Tho Monetary Situation and Ontlook En
tirely Satisfactory Gains Piling; Up.
Money was wanted to a moderate extent yes
terday, but the amount taken out was not large
enough to extinguish the surplus. Counter
business was of ordinary proportions. None
of tbe bank officers spoken to were able to tell
anything new. They expressed satisfaction
with the situation and ontlook for the summer.
Although general trade moved along quietly
in the past week, it was sufficiently active to
score a gain in bank exchanges of rising $3,500,
000 over the corresponding week ot 1SS9. Such
proof of prosperity cannot be easily set aside.

Something New In Oil.
The Pittsburg Tubeolene Refining Company
Is a recent organization, capitalized at a large
sum, in which Pittsburg and New York people
are mainly interested. E.J. Godfrey, of this
city, a prominent contractor, is President of
the company. C. F. Tbumni, of New York, has
patented tbe new process, which is remarkable
for its simplicity and cheapness, dispensing
with the use of stills and two-thirds of the
other articles necessary to a refiner. It is a
system of refining through tubes with a variety
of temperatures, producing a larger per cent of
refined and lubricating oils of fine quality and
other products than by any other process. No
chemicals are needed in tbe treatment. It bas
every prospect of revolutionizing the busi
ness. Tbe company, after looking over the field,

IN A WAITING MOOD. '
Wnll Street Speculators Keeping: nn Eye on
Silver Legislation in Congress The
Trusts the Only Brjght Spot
in tbe Market. -
New Yoke, Juno 7. The stock market to
day, outside of the trusts and one or two
specialties, was an extremely limited one, and
the dealings and final changes for the most
part were without significance. 'The disposi
tion at present is to await tbe action on tbe
silver bill, and tbe trading to-day Was coulined
almost exclusively to the room traders,wbo
were inclined to hammer stocks in tbe early
dealing on the expectation tbat the bank state
ment would show a decrease in the surplus re
serve. Tbe early demand was sufficient to
cause sllcht advances in some stocks after an
irregular opening, but tbe pressure later wiped
out these gains and prices in most stocks re
tired slightly below those of tbe opening.
Louisville and Nashville was most conspicu
ous among tbe active stocks for its decline, but
it was only a" small fraction. St. Paul and
Atchison followed In point of activity, but
moved ver a very narrow range, the excellent
showing ot tbe latter for May having no in
fluence whatever. Among the specialties
Quicksilver was the only one showing any
lite, and the common rose 1 and tbe preferred
i, though both closed a little off from the
best figures.
The trusts were the only active features to
the market, and Sugar while feverish and ir
regular was not so active as usual of late, and
finally scored a material improvement over
its last night's price. Opening up per
cent at 79. it retired to 78 and after some
violent fluctuations between the latter figure
and 8u It closed at 80 Chicago Gas was es
pecially strong and rose nearly 2 per cent on a
very moderate business. The close was firm at
significant changes. Sugar rose 2, Chicago
Gas and Quicksilver preferred! per cent.
There was about the usual amount of bust,

ized tbe dealings of late, even though the gen
eral tone was firm.
Government bonds have been dull and firm
for the 4s. Btate bonds have been neglected.
Tbe Post says: Thenet results of this week's
business was a recovery of mora than half of
the previous week's declines on the majontv of
stocks. Last week nearly all stocks declined
from Jfto 3 per cent, except tbe Vanderbilt
stocks, which were an exception to the general
market, and advanced from 1 to 2 points. The
immediate causes of the decline were the
break in Sugar Trust. In which the net decline
for that week was 11 points, and the
decision against tbe legality of the Chi
cago Gas Trust, in wbieh the
net decline for that week was 10 points. This
week Chicago Gas has recovered 4 points, and
Sugar Trust bad recovered 6 points to 84 on
Friday, but to-day lost tbe recovery.
The price of Sugar Trnst is the subject of the
boldest manipulation, and is apparently as un
settled now as a week ago. Tbe opinion ex
pressed in this column a week ago that tbe in
siders were the heavy sellers from 90 nnward,
holds good for this week, except that the sell
ing was from 78 to SO and upward. Tbe price
of Chicago Gas has apparently settled at about
where it will be firmly supported, and will
probably remain comparatively steady.
After Sugar Trnst and Chicago Gas Trust,
the most remarkable movement in prices this
week was in silver bullion certificates, which
closed last Saturday at 101, and bave ad
vanced pretty steadily through the week to
106 at 11 o'clock to-day. The rallr iad situa
tion has not changed during the week, and the
latest report of tbe earnings show that the
average .of from 11 to 12 per cent in gross
earnings over the same time last year is still
maintained, as is shown by the reDorted ?ross
.earnings of 44 roads for tbe fourth week of May
at io,il,a, Deing an increase 01 iwi.uoe over
tbe same week last year. The earnings of tbe
roads and the general aspects of tbe railroad
situation are quite good enough to result in a
further advance in prices of stocks and bonds,
and especially the low priced stocks, as soon as
money becomes plentiful as is almost certain
to be tbe case before tbe end of next month,
especially in view of tbe efforts of tbe admin
istration to get the money out pf the United
States Treasury. The expectation of some
kind of legislation on tbe silver question bas
become so general tbat anv failure on tbe
part of Congress to do so would probably cause
a reaction iu prices in the stock market for a
time. But capital is so abundant in Europe
and attractive investments so scarce, tliit such
a reactii n would probably be overcome in a
few weeks.

Sugar Mnkes a Spurt Money Easy Tele-
grnph Earnings Tbe Census.
Special to John M. Oakley A Co.
New Yoek, June 7. The market to-day has
been rather quiet, and such feature as it
possessed was again concentrated in the price
of Sugar Trust certificates, which openod up
over 2 per cent above last night's closing and
were quite active during the greater part of
the half day's business. Tbe Atchison earn
ings show a gross increase of 832,000 for the
month of May.
Tbe bank statement for this week shoivsa
small decline in tbe net reserve, and. while thi'sis
so, there is every probability that all the moncry
needed for present business uses will be readily
oDtaineu at lair rates, 'ine anthracite coal
trade is reported as showing a better demand
1 or coal, and tne output lor this year, it is said,
will be considerably larger than for 18S9.
Tbe telegraph business of this country has
grown to enormous proportions, but so steadily
and gradually tbat its magnitude is not appre
ciated. A late report shows the Western Union
Telegraph Compauy to have about 616.243 miles
of wire with 17,241 offices, and employing some
23.340 persons, and tbe revenues derived are
sufficient to make this an assured dividend
paying stock, which stould gradually advance
in value, and with conservative management
be placed among the stocks selling at or above

itroduce here a postal telegraph system.
Tbe census taker is bard at work, and while
tbe estimated population of tbe United States
on January 1, 18S9, was 65,000,000, tbe census of
1890 will undoubtedly exceed this. Tbe earth's
population is t-aid to increase at tbe rate of one
and a quarter millions per annum, while tho
population of the United States alone is in
creasing at tbe rate of more than one million
per annum, and the significance of this state
ment is of wonderful importance when we
think of the development, present and future,
of this country.

Wheat Recovers a Pnrt of Friday's Loss
Corn Firmer nnd Oats Steady Park
Almost Entirely Neglected
Ribs and Lard Law er.
CHICAGO There was a moderate trade la
wheat to-day, and part of yesterday's decline
was recovered. The market ruled steady most
of the session. Tbe opening was about S2o
higher than yesterday's closing, improved from
the start, and prices advanced lc tor July and
Kc for tbe other futures, eased off some
and closed about ,c higher for July, a
higher for August and September, and c
higher for December.
The offerings were light most of the day and
the demand fair; in fact, a feature of tbe mar
ket was a lack of any specially large trading
either in the buying or selling. The firmness
may possibly bave been influenced by the re
ported taking ot 12 loads of wheat at Duluth
to Montreal and rumored demand for Duluth
wheat on Buffalo account. Crop reports from
winter wneat sections continue oao.
Corn was trade in to a moderate extent with
a steady feeling, showing bnt little change in
prices compared with yesterday. First sales of
July were a trine above the closing yesterday,
was firm under a good demand, sold up 'iaC.
became easier, losing the advance and snld up,
and final quotations were a shade better than
yesterday.
Oats were less active and a steadier feeling
developed. Prices advanced slightly, and the
market closed steady at about outside figures.
Nothing of consequence was done in Fork.
Feeling was easy, -with prices nominally 610o
A quiet and easy feeling prevailed In lard,
and prices ruled 25c lower.
Only a moderate trade was reported in short
ribs. Tbe feeling was ratber weak, and prices
declined 25c, closing steady at tbe reduc
tion. .

DICKENS' FAMOUS GIN FDHCH.
He Made It Himself nnd Wllkle Collins Snld
It Had No Eqnnl.
I believe, writes Mr. John Eollingshead
in liiagara Spray, that Charles Dickens
was more prond ot his skill in manufactur
ing his unrivalled gin pnncb than of being
the author of all his great works. The prep
arations for this concoction (which I named
"Five shillings and costs") were simple,
and yet elaborate. ITirsl of all the jug was
produced the vat or the receptacle of the
brew. Then came a plate and knives, then
tbe lemons, the sugar basin, and then,
finally, a large table napkin. In the mean
time, the kettle on the hob had prepared the
boiling water, and the bottle of distilled
liquid an important factor, as the phrase
goes was placed in the bands of tbe mas
ter. I shall be guilty of no irreverence if I
say that at this point bis eyes twinkled and
generally winked. Tbe process of blending
was like .1 conjuring trick performed by an
accomplished professor. The mixture being
made with care and delicacy, and with a
certain amount of demonstrative pride, tbe
jug was placed upon tbe table and the nap
kin thrust into its mouth. The brew, timed
by tbe master's watch, had commenced, and
in a few minutes the napkin was withdrawn,
and "Five shillings and costs" was ready
for convivial distribution.
Among those who drank (moderately) and
admired (hugely) this Dickens' nectar was
Wilkie Collins, who told me tbat next to a
well-made apple pudding he knew ol noth
ing more agreeable.
Could Not Tell a Lie.
Chicago Tribune.!
It was a little girl's first visit to a dairy
farm.
"Uncle Zeb," she asked, "which one of
all yonr cows gives the most milk?"
Uncle Zeb was a truthful man. He laid
one hand on "Old Crumplehorn," carelessly
placed the other on the-pump, and said:
"This one, child.
Trees Lightning- Won't Touch.
A German scientist has discovered that
trees, the trunks of which are covered with
moss or lichen, are more liable to lightning
strokes than others, and imputes to this the
comparative immunity ot the oak.

Tests Taken From Furnace Fires-'
Cause and Result.
A HEATER'S NOTABLE NARRATIVE
"Anyone who has worked abont the glare
and heat of fnrnace fires knows what the
sudden changes from beat to cold, and the
incessant draughts of foundry and mill
work amount to. It was to.tb.ese that I at
tribute the origin of my trouble."
The speaker, Mr. David Pitchford, was
one of those intelligent workers iu metal
that form so important a strata in the popu
lation of Pittsburg. For eleven years ha
has been heater at the United States Iron
and Tin Mills at Demmler station.
"It was as far back as in '73." Mr. Pitch
ford continued, "that my trouble began.
The sudden changes in temperature in pass
ing irom the lnrnace to the open air were
continually giving me colds. I got into a
condition in which I seemed to be having a
cold most of the time. My head would be
stopped ud. Along in the afternoon or
evening my throat wonld become sore and
raw. .When I would lie down at night my
nostrils would be closed up, so that I could
hardly breathe through them.
Mr. David PUchford. Demmler Station.
"This sort of thing continued until I seemed
to be having a cold most of the time. My
throat would fill with mucus. I was constantly
hawking and raising; tbe mucus dropping back
into my throat seemed to derange mv whole
system. The trouble in my head gave me no
peace day or night. What with the distracting,
ringing and buzzing sonndn in my ears, the con
stant dull p-iins in my forehead, and tbe ever
lasting effort to clear my throat of tbe phlegm,
life became almost a misery.
"A dry. hacEing congh added to my distress.
Night sweats came on. and 1 lost in weight and
flesh. My limbs would become swollen and
would feel heavy like lead. I wonld have to
got up in the night to cough and raise in order
to clear my throat. I would get up in tbe
morning tired and weak and entirely unfit for
work.
"Eat? Why, it didn't seem as If Leonid eat
anything. Tbe very sight of food wonld nau
seate me. If I would eat ever so little it wonld
seem to rest like a load in my stomach. I didn't
average two hours' sleep a night. Indeed I
was so weak and miserable and run dawn that
I had about given up hopes of ever getting any
better, and it really didn't make much differ
ence to me whether I lived or died. I had
practically given up hope of ever getting any
better, and all I sought was to get rid of my
discomfort and misery.
I finally went to the office of Drs. Copeland
& Blair and placed myself under tbe care ot
Dr. Copeland. I can't begin to tell yon what a
change he accomplished in my condition in a
short time. I steadily Improved under bis care
from tbe start. I sleep well now, eat well and
leel well. I couldn't wish to feel any better
than I do now. I owe my recovery entirely to
Dr. Copeland. and I am very glad to be able to
describe it for publication."
