Tues D AY. J une 24. lS9a (
There is no more important element in
business success than skillful advertising.
A. number of our foremost tradesmen attrib
ute their success to a liberal nse of printers'
ink. Less than a score of years ago one of
onr most successful merchants was a con
ductor on a street car line. By a liberal
nse of printers' ink he went to the front, and
is now recognized as one of the merchant
princes of Western Pennsylvania. Many
illustrations of the value of judicious ad
vertising could be gathered irom the ex
perienced Pittsburg tradesmen. HkiU in ad
vertising is one of the most Important elements
In a snccessful business career. In many of
our metropolitan journals business men cave
lonnd It Important in the past few
years to secure a column for tbeir own use, and
employ the best literary talent to be had in
showing ud the value of their wares. One of
the leading New York weekly journals has a
column in each issue filled by one of tbe fore
most publishing houses of tbe land. There are
no editorials or letters in said journal which
are worked up in better style than the column
of this great publishing house. All new publi
cations are shown up in tbe most attractive
style, and the reader who peruses tbe column
is sorely tempted to invest. There is large
room for our Pittsburg tradesmen to enlarge
their views on the matter of advertising. It is
false economy that curtails expense! in this
department.
Hovr to Write tn Ad.
Here are some valuable snggestions on the
value of judicious advertising from the pen of
Allston C Ladd:
"Write your advertisement without any
thought of saying words jus: as yon would
write a letter. Then go over it and mark out
superfluous words and cut out statements
which you then see will not interest the reader.
'Then mentally place yonrself in tbe position
of a enstomer. as though your interests were
outside ot the counter rather than behind it,
and consider how the advertisement would ap
pear to you. Look carefully to see whether
you have not written in too technical a vein, as
a result of knowing all about goods of wbtch
your customer has but a spperlicial knowledge.
Analyse the matter thoroughly and see if you
have really written for tbe reader anything
more than that you deal in shoes. Bave you
offered him an attraction in price or novelty?
If you have not, you had better try again; you
have simply copied your competitor.
"If the advertisement seems satisfactory, it
Is a good plan to lay it aside for a day or two,
for when you again take it up the working may
not seem as attractive. For you must not over
look the fact that you are to pay good money
lor that advertising, and that tho expenditure
of that money is entitled to as careful consider
ation as is the matter of clerk hire, rent, the
accuracy of your freight bill, or any other de
tail of your business. Tbe difference between
efficient advertising and that which is not, is
tbe difference betw een giving money away and
making a profit (on the amount spent for tbe
advertisement) which even the pawnbroker
does not get. Careless advertising is costly at
any price."
Dome Green Vegetable.
'The first home green spring cabbage of tbe
season were on the Diamond street market
stalls this morning, and went off like hot cakes
at tl 60 a bushel basket. Said one of our near
by gardeners to-day: "Our products as a rule
are two to three weeks behind their average
time this season, but we get good prices for our
stuff." The first home grown cabbage and
beans of tbe season were offered this week. It
will be at least two weeks before tomatoes or
Potatoes raised in this region w ill be offered,
he yield of vegetables promises to be very
licbt, owing to backward spring. On the low
lands early corn looks all right so far, though it
will be later than usual, but on tbe hills it is
already turning yellow and prospects for a good
crop are anjrthing but good.
Said a Neville Island gardener to-day: "Onr
crops are snre to be much below average in
quantity this season owing to late spring. The
tomato crop is one of our mainstays. 1 have
had as high as one-half bushel of tomatoes
from a single plant, and In ordinary seasons
have raised 5,000 plants. This season I have
not more than 1,400 plants, and bave little hope
ot securing a half bushel from a plant. There
1 however, this compensation, that our early
stuff has brought good prices this season. I
had four bushel baskets of early cabbage in
the market this morning, and all were sold be
fore 6 o'clock at good prices."
In the interview with the above Neville
Island gardener, it was developed that water
melons and sweet potatoes are no longer grown
on this famous garden spot as in days of yore.
A generation ago the sweet potatoes and water
melons of Neville Island were famous through
this region. In the evolution of trade melons
and sweet potatoes have proved an unprofit
able crop on the island, and gardeners there
bave been forced to develop products unknown
to tho pioneers.
faaiJ a native of the island: T can just re
member when my father paddled his canoe
loads of watermelons to tbe Pittsburg markets
and gathered in good money for his labor.
Now we cannot raise good watermelons. The
few raised are of little account, b wee t potatoes
and watermelons are things of the past, so far
as the products of Neville Island are con
cerned." Boot nnd Shoe Trade
A representative of one of our leading job
bing firms in tbe shoe line said to-day: "The
first-half of the year 1S30 has been a season of
prosperity.
In rubber goods there has been a sharp ad
vance, but in other lines prices are practically
the same as last season. Orders for fall goods
are already beginning to come in from the
Vest in a small way, bnt wo look for no great
activity until tho latter part of July. For our
home trade orders will not show up to any con
siderable amount before August.
The high grades of goods are most in demand
from our estern customers. At home, the
demand is chiefly for the low grade stock.
We think tbe outlook for a good fall trade is
first-class. All signs point to a fall trade equal
to anything on record, and in this faith and
hope have laid In a very large stock of goods."

ON GOOD AUTHOIUTY,
It Can be Stated, Pittsburg is Enjoy

A BANK PRESIDENT SPEAKS OUT.
He) Fears That the Census Will he Disap
pointing, and Gires Ills Seasons.
CHICAGO AND hT. L0DIS CONTRASTED
In conversation with The Dispatch
representative yesterday, one of the oldest
bank presidents in the city spoke favorably
of the business situation and outlook. He
said in substance: "Trade is verv active
this summer almost np to the winter and
spring pitch. Tbe mills are running
steadily on orders, and merchants are dis
tributing large quantities of goods. It was
feared the demand would fall off, as it
usually does in the summer season, but this
has not been realized. I acconnt for this in
part by the fact that our advantages are such
as to enable onr manufacturers to turn out a
b etter quality ot wares than formerly, and at
such prices as to make competition difficult.
Now markets have also been found for some
of our products, coal and coke, for Instance,
which render material aid In maintaining busi
ness at its present high level. Money Is more
generally employed than usual at this season
of the year. Of course there is a large amount
In reserve, bnt not too much for a city like
this, which depends almost entirely upon home
capital to keep things going. I think tbe large
majority or local banks are satisfied with the
situation. I know that we arc Our line of
discounts is about as large as we care to handle
just now. I expect a brisk tall trade, and we
want to meet it with ample resources. In my
opinion rates will not fall below 6 per cent In
the regular way, although after the July settle
ments occasional loans may be made a shade
lower."
In regard to silver legislation, be remarked:
"I am utterly opposed to free coinage of the
metal. It would start a boom in the specula
tive markets that would speedily lead to a
financial crash, and set the country back 10 or
20 years. Besides, more wholesale inflation of
the currency is nor needed. Money is easy at
all of the financial c ntcrs, showing that there
is plenty of it for business purposes. While
free coinage would help the speculators. It
would be detrimental to legitimate business."
Speaking of the census and what it will prob
ably show, he said: "I think it will be disap
pointing to our local pride. Pittsburg has
grown wonderfully since the former census was
taken. Population has increased and business
expanded beyond anything previously known
In the history of the city; but I am afraid that
she will not receive full credit for it, from the
fact that so many of her citizens live beyond
the municipal limits. They transact their
business here and get their mail here, but avoid
responsibilities of citizenship by domiciling in
Allegheny. Sewickley, tWilkinsburg or some
other of tbe many surrounding towns. The
only way to head these people off Is to take in
the entire county. There would be no chance for
dodging then, aud the city would get the benefit
of all that justly belongs to her."
This reference to the censns led him to speak
of Chicago and St. Louis, with both of which
cities he has for years had important business
relations. "Chicago," he observed, "claims to
be second to New York in respect of popula
tion, and will leave no stone unturned to make
good her boast. It was with this end in view
that she annexed a large slice of tbe State a
year or two ago. She took in all the suburbs.
This will give her an Immense advantage in the
census. If Pittsburg had taken the same
course she would bave a much larger popula
tion than she is likely to return, with about one
third of her citizens eliminated from the enroll
ment, mainly through fear of a few dollars
more taxes. Chicago, however, is far behind St.
Louis in solidity. Tbe bulk of her business is
controlled by Eastern men, and the most of her
capital is owned by non-residents. She is in no
sense a representative Western city. She -is a
marvel of enterprise, however, and this has
given ber world-wide fame
"St. Louis, on the other hand, though less
showy than Chicago, Is far ahead of her in solid
wealth and substantial growth. The most of
ber capital is owned at home. Her resources
are boundless. The county just below, of
which Potosi is the seat, is full of the finest
lead In the world. Just beyond there Is enough
Iron ore to supply America for ages, while coal,
both anthracite and bituminous, abounds. The
development of this latent wealth will place
St. Louis in the front rank of American cities."

What Is Cstaln Vandergrift delaying his

heard on Fourth avenue. There Is property on

Mr. Elmer White, Secretary of the Under

within six months they will be able to pay for
the Brinton plant,' increase the surplus and
keep up dividends. The company is crowded

It Is expected that improvements In progress
and contemplated on Fourth avenue, below

the way. next fall or spring, not next week, is
the time talked of for replacing Nos. 164 and
166 Fourth avenue with an eight-story business

The Market on the Uarced Edce Symptoms
or n Whirl.
If stock brokers took any orders to either of
the calls yesterday they made very little effort
to fill them. There was less disposition totrade
than usual. The game seems to he of the
f reezeont sort Buyers are w alting for a slump
and sellers for a rally, and both sides exhibit
wonderful patience. Somebody will hear some
thing drop one of these days. Sales were 88
shares.
As compared with the previous close natural
gasscrs were steady. Central Tractlon.PIeasant
Valley and Eleetrlo fractionally weaker, and
Switch and Signal and Pittsbnnr Traction
slightly better. The rest of the list showed
very little change either way. The steadiness
of the market with so little doing shows it has
some support left, and that it would bo easier
to cause an advance than a decline. There are
symptoms of a change for tho better.

Scarcely Any Movement In OH and Next to
No Flnclnatlom.
There was no movement in oil yesterday
worth speaking of. Local trading amounted to
only about 5,000 barrels. The market opened
up a little off from the previous close and
dragged along all day with'n a o range. New
York tried to buy a few jags here, but couldn't
get the stuff, and finally sent her orders to Oil
City. The filling of these gave the market all
the strength it bad.
The opening, highest and closing was 89K
and the lowest 89. The local crowd adjourned
to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." Monday's
clearances were 42,000 barrels. Refined was
unchanged and field news unimportant, so far
as it concerned tbe market.

A QUIET DAY.
No Hfnrhed Features Yesterday In the New
York Stock market A Llitlo Flurry
In Sngnr Trust Certificates
nnd Chlcngo Gns Stock.
Neav York, June 21 The apathy of traders
still continues In the stock market, and to-day,
outside of a moderate business In Atchison,
Chicago Gas and Oregon Transcontinental,
there was little animation in the regular list,
although a few marked movements took place
among the specialties. The attitude of Con
gress on the silver bill still prevents more active
speculation, and while the feeling on the street
has subsided and one of mild expectancy has
taken its place, there is no disposition to dis
count the result either way. and sensations are
looked for in other directions.
There were no further engagements of gold
for export to-day, and that elemont has quickly
dropped out of the possibilities in the course of
prices. Tbe railroad situation also offers noth
ing but waiting, and the transactions at the
board are now confined from day to day to tbe
operations of the professionals and tbe room
traders almost entirely.
The regular list outside of a few stocks
which are affected by speciil causes are traded
in over an extremely narrow range, and the
fluctuations seem to possess little or no signifi
cance. To-day tbe assurance from Chicago that
a dividend would be paid on the Chicago Gas
stock and the feeling that as long as dividends
are permitted, the trust is jnst as good in the
hands of a receiver as not, stimulated a bullish
feeling upon the stock and more animation was
shown in it at advancing figures. Mexican Cen
tral and New England made sharp spurts ot
short duration, but secured material gains,
while Atchison and Missouri Pacific on tbe ru
mors of negotiations between them were more
active and firm without marked change in quo
tations. Tbe great feature of the day, bowerer,
was Sugar Refineries, and it was np and down .
"WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25,
again several times during the day over a com
paratively narrow range for that stock, and
considerable surprise was shown that it did not
slump off sharply on tbe announcement of tbe
decision against the'trust by the Court of Ap
peals. There was, however, a blunder in
tbe transmission of the first reports, and the
sharp rally from the first depression was due
to the misapprehension as to the exact nature
of the decision, but when the fact became fully
known there was no slump, and the stock closed
unchanged from last night's price. The clique
in control of the manipulation, however, is able
to put it wherever and whenever it pleases.
The sentiment in the board during the day was
strongly bullish, and Chicago houses were buy
ers all daylong, and while tho upward move
ment was checkod by the muddle over the
Sugar Trust decision a firm tone was main
tained throughout, and tho close was firm,
though dull, at small fractional gains in most
of the list. There were no declines of moment,
although the Big Four was weak during the
afternoon, and Chicago Gas is up and Ntfr
England 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds were dull and without f eatnre
of any kind. Tbe usual firm tone was shown,
but the final changes In quotations are ex
tremely few tn number, and are generally en
tirely without significance.
Government bonds have been dull and steady.
State" bonds have been entirely neglected.
The Ioit stys: Missouri Pacific was active In
connection with some ambiguous expressions
fy Jay Gould to the effect that some sort of al
liance with the Atchison was being negotiated.
The Missouri Pacific, like other Western roads,
undoubtedly feels the necessity of some such
an alliance as that ot tbe Union Pacific and
Northwestern to give it a share in the increas
ing business of the central part of tbe contin
ent, but the Atchison is more nearly independ
ent in this respect than any other roads termin
ating at Chicago, as it already has itsown trans
continental lino. A combination of some sort
with the Missouri Pacific would be tbe means
ot keeping peace In its special territory in tbe
Southwest, and on the other band, if the Mis
souri Pacific could in some way be transferred
into the management or the Atchison it would
greatly benefit the Missouri Pacific, of which
the securities do not at present appear to at
tract the public, as was shown by tbe fact that
the rights to subscribe for the new Missouri
Pacific 5 per cent loan of $7,0011,000 with a bonus
of ono snare of new stock for every $1,000 of
bonds, did not command any premium.

ENGLISH CAPITALISTS,
They Want Bis; Fish, Bnt They Are Not
Angling for Smnll Fry.
The much talked abont syndicate of
English capitalists has an agency in this
city in the firm of John JI. Oakley &
Co., brokers, 45 Sixth street. A Dispatch
reporter inquired of Mr. Oakley yesterday
if they were getting much business of this
nature. He replied: "We are getting
more than we want, surh as it is, but not
enough of the kind the English people will
look at. There is no mvstery abont this
thing; it is simply a matter of investment
on sound business principles. They have
great confidence in the future of American
manufactures and want to invest their
money in such concerns as can show a profit
during the past of 12 per cent or more; on
such purchases they issue shares and dis
pose of them in the London market.
Naturally enough, the corporations making
such profits are not hnnting buyers, and the
New York branch is daily pushing ns to
secure options.
"The New York. branch has just com
pleted a large deal in the Trenton, N". J.,
potteries; also a combination of type foun
dries and furnaces, and they hint at the com
pletion of the largest deal yet made in the
States. We have had innumerable offers from
many small affairs, but the syndicate will
pay "no attention to anything less than
5100.000."
"What class of business do they prefer?"
"They will take anything that looks like
paying Vat dividends. We sent them a sil
ver mine last 'week, which we believe will
pass inspection."
When baby was sick, we gave her Castorla,
When she was a Child, she cried for Castorla,
When she became Miss, she clung to Castorla,
When she had Ohildren.she gave them Castorla

So not tax the system with any excesses.
Avoid draughts (whether of air or Ice water)
when perspiring profusely.
Remember that the heat is debilitating In
effect and that the life forces must be sustained.
Draw moderately on tho water cooler. Drink
slowly, in small quantities and not frequently.
Remember that when perspiring you are
liable to catch a chill by sudden change of tem
perature. A summer cold is more annoying
than a winter one.
When you feel the weakening effect of tbe
heat, take a drink ot pure whiskey in water. It
is wonderful What a healthful and sustaining
effect It will have.
Remember tbat only pure whiskey should un
der any circumstances be used. The whiskey
which has tbe highest standing and best recom
mendatlons is Duffy's Pure Malt. tip

Conntry Produce Jobbing Prices.
Supply or Southern potatoes Is still short of
demand, and choice stock readily brings nut
side quotations. A leading dealer said this
morning: "I have not been able for a week or
two past to secure enough stock to meet de
mands of my customers." Choice tomatoes are
not in sufficient supply for demand and prices
are very firm. Strawberries are on the wane,
both as to quantity and quality of receipts.
Raspberries are in fair supply and slow. The
first installment of this season's apple crop has
appeared within a day or two. but quality is
not tempting. Melons ard" coming in freely
and prices tend to a lower level. In tbe line of
dairy products Ohio cheese is weak and lower.
New York cheese Is scarce and firm. Elgin
creamery butter is very active and a shade
bUber at headquarters. A rise of lc per pound
will be due hero on Friday. Cold storage men
are forcing prices up. Conntry rolls are very

Sugars are weak enough to have another

Grnln. Floor and Feed.
There were no sales on call at the Grain Ex
change, and markets are weak and in favor of
buyers all along the line, with the exception
of oats, which were very strong. Hay proved
particularly weak. Low grades are not wanted
at any price Choice bay was offered at Sll
and no takers. Wheat is barely steady. Floor
is quiet, and while prices are unchanged, pros
pects are strong for a decline. Tbe cash buyer
after job lots would, no doubt, find holders
ready to concede a little from our quotations.

Dryffoods.
New York. June 34. Stable cottons were
moderately taken at advanced prices, and
agents were charging np a good many goods
going forward from their bands and from the
mills. Prices were more active, and some light
cronnds were closed out. Indigo blues were
taken more freely in consequence of low prices,
and there was more doing in greys and mourn
ings. Dress cottons were in fair demand. The
cotton goods market continues strong in tone
with considerable scarcity of standard sheet
iocs and drills. There is a good tone to the
woolen goods marker.

acting on tbe kidneys, liver and bowels, it
cleanses the system effectually, thereby pro

use It.
NOTHING LIKE SUCCESS
to Succeed.
The hundreds of patients who have testified
In this paper to cures made by tbe physicians
of tbe Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute at 323
Penn avenue, were those who had suffered
from catarrh In its most aggravated, chronic
form, and which in some cases bad developed
into consumption. The testimonials published
have always been followed with tbe name AS
SIGNED BY THE PATIENT, so as to posi
tively prove their genuineness even to tbe most
skeptical. What betfr evidence can be given
than to refer you to hundreds of patients who
have been cursd of diseases like your own;
The Catarrh nd Dyspepsia Institute, estab
lished two years ago, is the only institution in
Pittsburg for tbe exclusive treatment of
Catarrh, Dyspepsia and D'ases peculiar to
Women. Its patronage is rapidly Increasing,
and from early In tbe day until late at night
tbe parlors are filled with patients.
Thought She Could Not Live.
Mrs. Josephine Myers, wife of Mr. Jacob
Myers, a well-known citizen of Allegheny
county, and who has lived for the past 20 years
at Glenfleld, has experienced snen suffering as
few persons have and live She bad an almost
endless number of conditions, among which
were a dropping of catarrhal mncus into her
throat, where it became very tenacious and
hard to raise, and In tbe night on awaking It
would so suffocate her that she could scarcely
get her breath. She had much soreness in the
side of her neck and throat. She had pain
Mrt. Josephine Myers.
over her eyes, and her eyes became very weak.
She often felt dizzy and had noises in ber ears
tbat sonnded to her as if she bad a steamboat
In her head. As tho disease finally extended
to her luna, she coughed, her breath became
short and she felt a tightness in her chest and
aching pain between her shoulders. Her ap
petite failed, and her stomach became
so weak tbat food or even water
would causo a heaviness and burning
in ber stomach followed by nausea. Sbe baa
pains across the small of her back and kidneys.
She became bloated and took on a dropsical
appearance. Nlghtsweats weakened her very
fast. Sbe could not sleep and would arise in
ibo morning more tired than on going to bed.
THE FOLLOWING ARE HER OWN
WORDS:
"Although I bad doctored a good deal I got
no better. Some doctors said they could do
nothing for me. I became discouraged and
thought I never could be cured and tbat I
would not live "over a year. One day I hap
pened to see in the paper an account of the
sufierlnjr of Mrs. Bratt, of Verner station,
which seemed something similar to my suffer
ing, and how she became cured by tbe physi
cians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute.
This gave me some hope, and I therefore took
a course of treatment from these doctors and
have been entirely cured of all my ailments.
