Department Commander Dennlston last
week received from Secretary John N. Coyne,
of tbe Excelsior Brigade Association, a com
munication stating that it would be necessary
to postpone the dedication of the association's
monument on the Gettysburg battlefield on ac
count ol the pressure of business being so
heavy juct now on Commander Daniel E.
Sickles, who is sheriff of New York, that he is
prevented from completing the arrangements.
The monument was to have been dedicated
early in July. Major Dennlston was also asked
his views in regard to a good time for the dedi
cation. He wrote back to Secretary Coyne
suggesting that a good time for holding the
dedicatory services would be while tbe Penn

At the last meeting of Lientenant Lysle Camp

The officers elected at the State convention

workers in the Interest of the Sons of Veter
ans. Majob Sasiueii Habpeb Camp, No. 162,

Camp No. 162, the members decided to attend
the next State encampment, to be held at Du
Bois, in a body.
To put it mildly. Sergeant Byerly, of Davis
Camp, looks very cnte in his new uniform. The
Sergeant is about i feet 6 inches talk and the
uniform fits perfectly.
Camp 2. of Allegheny, has received new uni-
forms. They are very becommgto the boys and
add greatly to their appearance. Much credit
is due to Past Captain Dan Brosi for bringing
about this improvement
Davis Camp will give a musical and dramatic
entertainment in the near future. Some very
good talent has been secured, and If hard work
on tbe part of the members counts foranythlng,
the entertainment will be a success.

adopted tbe following arms of service: Star
Camp, engineer corps; Camp 2, infantry; Camp
4. infantry; Camp S3, cavalry; Major Samuel
Harper Camp 162. artillery, tbe latter having
equipments for 50 men.
It was clearly demonstrated at tbe Wilkes
barre convention that Pittsburg could have
had tbe next encampment simply for tbe ask
ing, but as tbe delegates were not instructed
to ask for It, it went to DuBois, which place
was heartily agreed too.
Brother Harkxess, of camp 169, WUkes
barre, after whose father camp 169 is named,
paid a fraternal visit to a number of the camps

tach himself to one of the local camps.

claim against the Division Encapment for a

well represented at the convention by tbe fol
lowing well-known members: Camp 2, by Fast
Captain Datt; Camp S3, by Lieutenant Colonel
Herman Rebblle; Star Camp, by Captain Davis
and bergeantByrlie: CampJ, by Past Captain

THE DEIFT OF TRADE
Enough to Show That Real Estate is
Still a Liyely Interest.
DEALS CLOSED AHD PENDING.
Business Marching Right Along and Smash
ing Last Tear's Becord.
THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OP THE CITI
The bulk of the movement in real estate
is still confined to tbe East End, although
considerable interest is growing up in the
EmsVorth district, due to tbe beginning of
work on California avenue sad the assur
ance of rapid transit at an early day.
Tbe effort to open up the Twenty-second
and Twenty-third wards, where there are
hundreds of acres of undeveloped land, by
street railways and other means bids fair to
be successful. Mr. Burchfield says the bridge
across the Moqongahela river, for which bebas
a charter. wUl be built, and those interested In
the short-cut road to Homestead say it will be
put through.
Oat Fifth Ayenne Looking Up.
Fifth avenue property between the Court
House and Sobo is looking up. During the
week Black A Baird made two sales there,
both of corner properties. The first was corner
of Fifth avenue and Btevenson street, 40x70
feet, for 816, U00. The other was corner of Fifth
avenue and Pride street, 23x70 feet, for 810,500.
Those who travel into town by the cable cars
see daily an improvement in the class of stores
on this part of the avenue. It is held that as
soon as some large establishment is opened,
with attractions sufficient to cause many of the
passengers by cable to stop and buy, there will
be a still more active demand and a quick
enhancement of values in that quarter. Mean,
while a perceptible increase of local trade is re
ported.
Two other transactions ot some importance
were uncovered yesterday. A lot 49 feet front,
on Ellsworth avenue, near Penn, with three
two-story brick homes, changed owners for
810,000. the purchaser being James Schuster, as
understood. The same gentleman is reported
to have sold a lot, corner Penn avenue and St.
Clair street, East End, S0xl40 with a two-story
brick building, for 810,700. These prices show
that values are not shrinking.
Kaufmanns, the clothiers, slipped away to
Jeannette a few days ago and picked up two
fine lots there, for which tney paid $5,000. It is
said they will erect a large business house on
the property.
The sale of Fort Pitt Land Company lots at
North Jeannette yesterday, by Baxter, Thomp
son & Co., resulted satisfactorily, considering
the weather, which was showery, preventlag
many persons from turning out. About 200
people were on the ground, and tbe demand
was brisk. One hundred lots, a few more or
less, were disposed of at fair prices.
m ft
Up to the Winter Pitch.
The conditions under which business is prose
cuted seem to hvre undergone a change this
year. This is true of Pittsburg, and will proba
bly, with some modifications, hold good when
applied to the country at large. Formerly very
little was done in the summer season. Stocks
were allowed to run down and production fell
off. Production and consumption were nar
rowed to actual and immediate requirements.
It was a period of semi-idleness. Now, how
ever, instead of mills running on half time or
altogether idle, stores scantily patronized and
streets almost deserted, business is nearly up
to the spring level. There is no material halt
in the onward mrch of general trade.
Nothing shows this more clearly than the
Clearing House reports. Bank exchanges are
almost up to the tall and winter pitch. Tbe
demand for money prevents large accumula
tions and keeps rates from coming down. Capi
tal is more generally employed than in any cor
responding season in the history of tbe city or
country. Prosperity such as we are now experi
encing, cannot last forever It will rise and tall
as it always has done, and will continue to do;
but there is nothing In view to warrant fears of
an immediate check to business. It has suf
ficient impulse to carry it through the summer.
Bniineia New and Gossip.
It is said that two or three property owners
on Diamond street wonld like to buy the Ex
change building. If business does not improve
it may be sold. There is considerable earnest
talk to this effect.
The Panhandle Railroad is agitating the
question of building a new and commodious
station, on Fourth avenue, in place of the old
one. Patrons ot the road are urging the im
provement. There is a movement to secure better accom
modations on the Panhandle Railroad, so as to
hasten tbe settlement of a large territory a
few miles below town. Prices are low, and
owners think better facilities for reaching it
would start a little boom.
Rea Brothers & Co. bought 40 shares Mer
chants and Manufacturers' Bank at 70.
George B. Hill & Co. sold 60 Bhares Bank of
Pittsburg at about 79.
The Allegheny County Light Company has
declared a half-yearly dividend of 3 per cent,
payable July 1, at which time the books will
be reopened.
Pittsburg is growing, regardless of the cen
sus. Fifty-eight permits were taken out last
week for 86 buildings. With a fair chance the
rest ot the year the record of 18S9 will be badly
broken.
-A business house on a prominent corner, in
the neighborhood of the new postofflce, will
probably change owners this week. Tho price
named approximates 8120,000.
A movement of some kind is expected on
Grant street, above Fifth, before long. Dick
ering for several properties there has been
going on for a month or more, and the parties
are Bald to be very close together. A leader is
all that is needed to infuse new life into that
part of the city.
Movement In Real Estate.
There was the usual gossip during the week
of large deals in and about the city. A Philadel
phia capitalist was said to be anxious to invest
a large sum in unimproved property in the vi
cinity of Homewood. One or two more farms
at Parnassus changed hands and it is under
stood a local glass manufacturer selected a site
there for a large plant. A gentleman from
Cincinnati came to tbe city on Friday to. make
an Investment and his broker says he suc
ceeded, but nothing further could be learned.
It Is thought he secured a business property on
lower Penn avenue and will occupy it.
Rumors are not business, but, to quote Long
fellow, they resemble it "as the mist resembles
the rain." They are straws and possess a cer
tain value to tbe investors.

Thompson a lot 25x120 on the east side of Lytle

WHY WE SIDLE.
Figures That Slake a Good Showing far the
Census Tear.
There was a good money market yesterday,
discounting being active and depositing and
checking about up to the spring mark. Rates
were steady at 6Q7 per cent, with most or the
business at the inside figure.
Instead of business showing an inclination to
halt, it is going ahead with accelerated speed.
All previous summer records are already
broken. The bank exchanges last week were
over 4,000,000 larger than those for the corre
sponding time last year. The gain of 1890 over
1S89, to date, is nearly 566,000,000. The Clearing

There was a saving clause in the old weather
almanacs to the effect tbat all signs failed in
dry weather. Bolt must be thatnndnr th
cloudless skies of commercial prosperity that
have so far marked this year the financial
weather signs too have failed, for the usual
June showers that overflow tbe bank vaults and
bring with them low Interest rates have not
Come. It is not lack of money that is keenlnc
rates up almost to winter pitch. It is rather tbe
unexampled demand which the great activity
in all lines of industry has occasioned.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, with no loans, closed offered at 4. Prime
mercantile paper, SXC7. Sterling exchange
quiet but steady at 51 85 for 60-day bills and

Weary Fluctuations and Clenmncea.
Business in oil yesterday was extremely nar
row, both in trading and pnees. There were
no fluctuations. Tbe opening, highest, lowest
and closing price was 90. This is of such rare
ocenrrence that it attracted attenton. There
was no news to affect values, no orders and no
disposition among the traders to speculate.
Nothing was done until about 11 o'clock, and
after that time only about 6,000 barrels changed
hands. It was one of the dullest weeks yet ex
perienced in the business, and without the con
solation of something better ahead. Fluctua

WALL BTBEEI GOSSIP.
A Drop In Sugars-Railroad Earnings Bank
81016010014 New Company.
Special to John M. Oakley A Co.
New Yobk, June 21. The principal activity
of to-day's market was concentrated in Sugar
Trust certificate', which closed last night at
76K. and to-night at 69, a difference of 7 per
cent In tbe two hours' business ol this morn
ing. The balance of the market has remained
quite steady, notwithstanding this rapid de
cline, and seems xo demonstrate tbat prices of
sugar have less influence than formerly over
the railroad lisr. The bank statement showed
a not decrease in the reserves of talO.OOO. A
menace to prices is tbe reduction in gram rates
ordered by tbe Inter-State Commerce Commis
sion, but further information on this subject is
needed before an intelligent opinion can be
ventured.
The action of the Philadelphia Exchange in
voting to close on Saturday, July 5, should be
speedily followed by a similar vote of the New
York Stock Exchange ot this city. Tbe fact
that Saturday's business covers but two hours
ot official business warrants tbe Uovornors of
tbe Exchange in giving to tbe members three
days of rest and recreation during this warm
weather.
Among the increasing railroad earnings lor
the past three months none have shown a more
striking advance than those of Union Pacific.
Denver and Gulf, whose net figures indicate
200 per cent increase. Cbls road is now an im
portant auxiliary of the Union Pacific sysam,
and such an increase of earnings, with its pro
spective business, is likely to make itself felt in
the prlceB of Its first mortgage bonds and

good buyers of these securities, and while their
information seems to be of such an early char
acter, it combines value and good staying

The Boston Exchange Is the favorite place
upon which tbe promoters of valuable New
England land companies have listed their
stocks, many of which have shown a gradual
and steady improvement, and they become
favorite with the investing and speculating
public We are advised that a new company
organized under tbe laws o tbe State of Maine
and called the Gouldsboro Land Improvement
Company, is likely to be added to the number
in tbe near future. This company owns a very
valuable property embracing over 6,000 acres of
land directly opposite Bar Harbor, Me., and a
number ofprominent people in Boston, NeW
York and Philadelphia have already acquired
valuable building sites there, and are about
erecting handsome cottages. The management
embraces some well-known men, and we should
look to see this stock record a gradual ad
vancement after it is once listed and brought
to the attention of investors.
The -Post says: The exports of gold under
the existing conditions of tbe exchange mar
kets continue to excite unusual interest, and
have given rise to some wild stories, one of
which is to the effect that the German Gov
ernment was practically buying gold, and an
other being that it was accumulating gold in
view of some contemplated occupation of
Africa, eta After inquiry into various quar
ters where there would certainly be some
knowledge of these things, if there was any
foundation for the reports, we are convinced
that tbe stories are without foundation. But
tbe destination of tbe 8250.000 of gold taken
yesterday for export throws some light on the
situation In tbe fact that this gold goes to Paris
and tbat there does notseom to be much in
ducement now to make further shipments to
Berlin- It is possible that the whole of
this movement of gold Is explainable by tbe
higher rates of Interest which have prevailed
In Germany and France, and In fact the whole
of the continent, than in London. In Berlin,
the bank rate of discount has been 1 per cent
higher than the Bank of England rate for over
a month past, and tbe rates in the open market
hare been from 1 to 2 per cent higher than
those la London until Thursday, when tbe
rates In tbe open market in London, were ad
vanced in consequence of the continued higher
i.ciijiiDjjii. iiio rates iu iraria u.io uu
been almost as much above those ot London.
In short, money has been tight all over the
continent, whilo it was easy in London. This,
of itself, would not only cause sales of invest
ment securities by the continent to London,
but would cansa the movement of other caDltal
from London to the continent for the sake of
the higher rates of interest. This may explain
the persistent selling or American securities
through London, for a week or so, up to last
Tuesday, since which time there
has been very little and on the
contrary, London has been taking some securi
ties back. Exports of gold from bere are not
unusnal at this time in the year, but they are
unusual wben the New York rates of exchange
on London do not show profit on the sales of
the bills here. Tbe sblppers of gold now to
Berlin and Paris of course sell their bills on
those cities in London, and so make a small
firofit. If tbe whole movement of gold In tbe
ast week Is explainable by tbe difference In
rates of interest for money, without any extra
ordinary events, it will also be remembered
tbat money has been closer than usual this
summer and has helped to keep down the rates
for sterling, operating to some extent in the
same way on the London.market as Berlin and
Paris. All have been doiDg on London capital,
because capital was so much cheaper there
than anywhere else. Now that money has be
como easier bere. it goes in gold to London for
the continent.

AT SHADTSIDE.
Mr. Charles Turner Makes an Inter
esting Statement.
NEARTOWrT NOTES.
"There is no man in this city who will
more gladly give his testimony than 1, and
I am only too pleased to be able to do it; in
deed, I feel tbat it is my duty to do so."
Tbe speaker was Mr. Charles Turner, a
resident of Shadyside, well known through'
out the East End and Pittsburg proper.
"I had been losing health and strength un
der my trouble for four years," continued Mr.
Turner. "Not rapidly, for at times I would
seem a little better, but steadily and surely.
It was a catarrhal trouble, I- was told, and I
tried many physicians and remedies, but could
obtalruio reller.
"It commenced with a series of colds. I
would catcb cold almost with a change of the
wind. My nostrils wonld be clogged up first on
one side and then on the other. Mucus wonld
drop back into my throat. I coughed and
raised constantly. I eonld never get my throat
clear. There seemed to be something there
which I could neither get up nor down. I had
a dull, heavy pain in my forehead directly over
my eyes. There were roaring and buzzlnx
noises In my ears. My eyes were weak and
watery.
Mr. Charles Turner, Bhadysidc.
"I lost flesh steadily. Night sweats set la
and weakened me. Sharp pains would shoot
tbsough my chest extending as far as tbe
shoulder blades. The spells of choking and
coughing were very painful. I could not sleep
at night, owing to these coughing spells, and
tbe nervous, weakened condition I was in.
"My appetite failed me. The very sight of
food caused a nauseating feeling at my stom
ach. What little I did manage to force down
seemed to lay like a heavy load on my stomach,
causing me much distress. The slightest ex
ertion would tire me. My heart would beat
rapidly. The palpitation would be followed by
a slow, irregular beating and a feeling of faint
nes. I would arise in tbe morning more tired
than wben I went to bed tbe night before.
"1 grew weaker and weaker, aud was hardly
able to stand on my feet. I was Indeed a sick
man when I called on Dr. Copeland for treat
ment. "I felt the benefit of his treatment the first
week. Gradually each symptom disappeared.
My bead and throat are no longer stopped up.
My eyes are clear and strong. I bave a good
appetltite. sleep well and arise refreshed and
ready for a good day's work. To state it briefly, 1
I am now as well as I ever wa, and shall be
glad to verify this statement at any time."
Mr. Turner lives, as stated, in Shadyslde, on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, a sbort distance
out 01 -ituourg, ana mis interview can do
readily verified.
Treated by Malt.
Mrs. Robert Ramsey, of Washington, Pa
speaking of her successf nl treatment with Drs.
Copeland A Blair, says: Every fall for the past
five years 1 have been troubled with chronic1
dyspepsia. Have tried countless remedies and
various physicians without any relief. 1 could
not get ease from pain in any position I would
assume. Every breath I drew was like a knife
cutting me. I became weak and pale,losa
greatly In weight.
Since I bare been with Drs. Copeland & Bt
all these symptoms nave disappeared, ant
now feel as well as I ever did.
Jacob Altmeyer, of Risher, opposite McKe'
port. Pa., states: "I commenced treatment
my catarrhal trouble with Drs. CopelSnd 0
Blair on June 29. 1889. I now feel likeJb, differ
ent man. and shall ba pleased 10 statemy case
and recommend their treatment to anyone ad
dressing me."
Mr. William Barnes, of Hickman, Pa., was
afflicted with catarrh, and had lost all sense of
taste and smell. He was underthe care of Drs.
Copeland A Blair, and now states: "I am per
fectly well, and owe my recovery to their treat
ment." Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hulton, Pa., has this
to sayof his successf nl treatment for catarrh
with Drs. Copeland A Blair: "I was in very bad
shape, but now feel like a different being, and
as well as I ever did in my life."

2Ir. D. S. Springer, LieUdale, Ja;
Mr. Springer, tbe courteous and gentlemanly
brakeman of the Leetsdale Accommodation of
the Fort Wayne road, is well and favorably
known to all tbe patrons of that train. In con
versation with a newspaper man recently about
bis improved appearance, besaidt "Yes, I feel
100 per cent better than I did several months
ago, and now my work is a pleasure to me,
where it used to be otherwise. My life as a
brakeman brought with it that bane to all rail
roaders, catarrh. I bad It for several years be
fore I really knew what was the matter with
me. My nostrils wonld clog up, I had a doll
aching pain over my eyes, roaring in the ears,
and was continually hawking up mucus which
dropped down into my throat. My stomach
also became affected, making life miserable and
my dally work a task. I was glad wben the
last run was over. Now all Is changed. I never
felt better in my life and haven't an ache or
pain about me. Dr. Byers did it all. I had
heard a great deal of the good work he was
doing, and determined to consult biro. As soon
as he took hold ot me I saw he understood his
business, and told him to go ahead. I have to
thank him for the good health I now enjoy, and
also for the courtesy of giving me prompt at
tention each week, as railroad trains are Ilka
time, they wait for no one."
