j-ii THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1890. 13 -h r lWER, ?' Iharen't heard that Mrs. Harrison, In con Section with the other financial schemes In which her name flenres, has taken any stock in friendship rlnrabuta treat many people are lnTestlnc canltalto the amount of one penny In a gold band that will encircle some one elses flncer. and is dignified by the name of friend ship rine. They resemble slightly the financial rings that engace tne attention of the sterner Sex, Inasmuch as there Is never any dividend on the Investment paid, but they differ In the tact that snch Is thoroughly understood by the stockholders before they become snch. They are pretty little swindles. It snch they may be called, and are ocenpying the attention of society in a marked degree just at present, the soliciting for their pnrchase varying the usual pastimes of riding, reading, bathing, sleeping, and whisper it gently flirting, that make the summer season snch a delight to the pnrely ornamental portion of humanity. The name surely is not a misnomer, for they mnst be a test to friendship when subscriptions for their purchase are solicited by any other than a little tot, in whom a request for a penny is natural and to be expected, and it tho friend ship weathers the test, it is but proper that the rings in name should testify to that fact. One Jeweler, alone. In this city, last week, took in 2.000 pennies for which he gaTe in exchange 20 exquisite little rings to 10 equally exquisite maidens. One petite miss seen yesterday was jingling her pockets at a great rate as she, accompanied by a little companion, joyfully made her way to a prominent jeweler's establishment. When questioned about her noisy wealth she laugh ingly replied: "Pennies, just pennies for a friendship ring. I commenced yesterday noon and have only had one day collecting for it." And as the coppers were turned out on the counter a tray laden with any number ot pretty littlo conceits in rings made its appear ance, all the same price, 1. But that ring was selected with as much care and consideration as if it were valued at one hundred times the amount paid for it. and fitted to the little finger of the tiny hand with exacting precision, as of course it wouldn't be proper to wear it upon any other finger, nor is it the thing to wear a guard with a friendship ring. As tho little purchaser departed, happy in her possession, the question arose where did she findlOi) friends, or even acquaintances, in this forlorn, forsaken "ty- Thobu Beakch. JULY GATHERINGS.

The opening was Kic higher than yesterday, and prices advauced c more, thon declined 1K under an lncreascdpressure tosell, rallied la, fluctuated somewhat and closed about c higher than yesterday. Thero was no doubt considerable realizing on tho part of longs, and shorts were frightened and covered freely on the advance. Some advices were received claiming that foreigners were selling at New York. From the Northwest advices were received reporting very hot, dry weathor. Corn There was another large day's busi ness transacted In this market, and the feeling developed was but a combination of that pre vailing for the past few days, and a still fur ther advance was established on all futures. The influences on tho market were about the same as noted for some time past, namely, the continued dry weather and bad crop reports, small receipts and good shipping demand. Trading was Immense, outside orders Doing numerous and chiefly buying, and local de mand was quite general, both from shorts and investment. Offerings during the early part of the session were small, bnt after the advance there was free realizing by local longs, but offerings were well absorbed and the market acted very strong. The signal service reported no ram of consequence In the corn belt, and there was no indication of any, but the weather was reported as cool. The West bought freely to-day,as also New York and the E ist. Local re ceipts were less than anticipated 370 cars, and for Monday 635 cars are expected. A good cash demand continued to prevail notwith standing the late sharp advance,though the in quiry was less brisk to-day. Philadelphia Stocks.

English Capitalists HaTO Fall Data of All Pittsburg Industries. THB HEWS WD GOSSIP OP THE CITI J There was an active trade movement last week, sales of seasonable commodities being large and prices well sustained. Large or ders for specialties were reported. Mer chants and manufacturers were encouraged over the prospect of a heavy fall business. The strong features of the situation are that there is no symptom ot overproduction, that collections were never mpre .easily and promptly made, and that banters report ;an abundance of money. The railroads are crowded with freight Coastwise tonnage is, perhaps, heavier than ever before. The earnings and the savings of big and little capitalists are being turned into all sorts of commercial andmanufacturing enterprises. Labor is in demand. Prosperity seems to have come to stay. Real Estate Values A well-known gentleman who is interested In the purchase and sale of real estate, and who has lately made large Investments in the Twenty-second ward, yesterday gave his views on values substantially in the language following: "The inquiry is often heard: Is real estate In our city selling for more than it is intrinsically worth! I answer by saying that the prlco of land is regulated by demand, the same as any other commodity. The more numerous the buyers the higher the prices. Causes for the demand should also be taken Into considera tion. If the cause of demand is based on the profit accruing or to accrue, or on profitable and advantageous use, then the price is not too high. Values fixed upon any other basis are speculative. Anyone who ventures to pur chase real estate or anything else without Knowing where he is going to sell it or what use it is to be put to, assumes more or less risk. An element of stability in the home market is the fact that nearly all the purchases are for a purpose to establish homes or Dusinesa, No risks are run. Consequently prices are on a reasonable basis. They are only keeping pace with demand for improvement." To this it may be added that the use and profit of real estate are somewhat determined by the purposes to which adjoining land may be applied. English Capitalists Well Posted. Referring to the roports of operations of English syndicates in this conntry, a promi nent business man remarked yesterday: "Be Sore and during the Civil War English capital ists looked upon our Government as an experi ment and liable to go to pieces at any time. Tho triumph of the Union cause convinced them that the Republic haa come to stay, and that it offered better Inducements than any other country in the world for investments. Hence they commenced forming syndicates to buy up almost everything they could lay their hands on. I think they have placed consider able money here, but not nearly so much as re ported. They are still at work. "The operations of these syndicates are based on extensive and accurate data. I talked with the representative of one of them, not long ago, and be informed me that they bad made care ful surveys of all available property between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi river, and, in some instances, still further west. Full statistics ot every Important Pittsburg Industry are on fllo In London, and more complete In formation in regard to them can be obtained there than here." Substitutes for Lumber. A correspondent signing himself "J. A.," is not troubled over the prospect of the exhaus tion of tho lumber supply. He says: "The history of the world teaches, not only that every generation has looked out for Itself, and that each generation lived better and had more con veniences than its predecessors, but that the younger generation growing up have actually had no use for many things that their elders imagined they could not do without. A pros pect of a shortage in the supply of tallow candles would dotfbtless have given our greatgrand fathers much concern, and perhaps they would have wondered how their descendants would manage to read at night in the event that candles could not be procured. But what use have we for candles now, and what use will our descendants have for gas lights? "Many substitutes for lumber havo already been introduced into our buildings, and many more will probably be forthcoming when tho necessity for them become apparent. Our ex tensive and costly buildings are constructed largely of stone, brick and iron, and very little lumber Is used. Doors are mado of papier mache, and seem to be quite as satisfactory as those made of wood. 'Necessity is the mother of invention,' and when the timber gives out, wo shall have, in all probability, something better to take Its place." Business Ktwi nnd Gossip. Pittsburg builders were busy last week. They took out permits for 80 houses, the cost of which is figured at 226,620. The Duquesne Traction Company has ex tended Its line out Highland avenue as far as McCullough street. This is within two squares of the turn on to Negley avenue. A real estate broker defied the fates yester day by remarking: "The worst customers I have to deal with are rich women. It is almost impossible to coax them into taking 51 60 for SI. They are so suspicious that they think every body is trying to cheat them. Baxter, Thompson &. Co. sold six properties dnnng the week, approximating 820,000, all in the East End. Tho work of paving Stanton avenue has been completed between Highland and Fair. view. According to the report of the Finance Com mittee, posted on 'Change yesterday, tho re sources of the Pittsburg Petroleum Stock and Metal Exchange are 3107,353 30, and the liabili ties, capital stock, $150,000, leaving a surplus of S17.358 SO. , A Pittsburg gentleman, who watches real es tate very closely, roturnod yesterday from a visit to St. Paul. Ho said suburban property there Is held at $500 and COO a foot They are so exclusive that in the best localities no one can buy a lot and build a house without con forming to the vlows of the seller in regard to style and cost. Uniformity in building Is car ried to an extreme approaching the monoton ous. The manager of the Etna Storage Warehouse is Robert J. Morris. He is well known in busi ness circles. The bidding on bank shares was lively yester day, but nobody got any of them. Good divi dend payers must be reached for with a long pole. There is talk of establishing a bank in Wil kinsburg and the Lohr building in Wood street, in course of construction, is mentioned as the location. Movements In Rent Estate. The sale by W. A.

The oil market yesterday was a repetition of that of the previous day. It opened and closed without a transaction. This is believed to ba the death knell of the system of trading In fut ures. Pittsburg speculators do not take kindly to wind. They want something tangible to show for their money. Whether the revival of cash dealing will prove an attraction to them is doubtful. They seem to have lost all inter est in oil. The future of the market depends altogether upon the success or failure tbatmay attend the Issuing of Lima certificates. If out siders bite, business will revive; if not, the Standard will have all the fun to Itself, which will be something, as it will be relieved of the bulk of the burden ot paying for Its own car rying. The standing bid yesterday was 89. Once as bige as 69 was offered, but the longs resisted the temptation. They realized that they have the shorts in a hole, and seem determined to keep them there. Clearances for the week were 128X00 barrels the smallest in the history of the Exchange. Clearances the previous week were 367.000. The course of 'fluctuations for the week was as follows: Open High esc 89 8944 Low est. 8H 83H Clos ing. 884 son 89)1 89 ing. tMonday SSTi Tuesday. sum weanesuay rcM H Thursday w S9J ' jrriuay .... .... ....

Wall Street Dull to a Decree Never Before Witnessed Snsnr Reflaerlea Blake a Little Span, bnt Again Fall Into the Rat. New Yobk, July 26. The stock market to day was a tame and uninteresting affair from beginning to end, and the final changes are en tirely insignificant except in Sugar refineries and Citizens' Gas, which stooks furnish no furnish no reason for their movements. The traders were Inclined to sell stocks upon the expectation that the bank statement would show a material loss in reserve as it was known thafduring the early portion of the week tbe sub-treasury had taken about $2,000,000 out of the banks. The heavy payments for bonds re deemed, most of which came to New York, did not show in any way no to last night. I (Government bonds have been dull and steady. State bonds have been dull and featureless. The exports of specie from the port of New York last week amounted to $2,378,381 of which $929,520 was In gold and $1,418,841 silver. The imports of specie lor the week amounted to $24,834 of which $193,727 was in gold and $86,107 silver. The Post says: Notwithstanding the com plete stagnation of the stock market at present, the logic of the present conditions is in favor of higherprices for all dividend-paying invest ments. There can be no doubt that the issue ot new and additional treasury notes for tbe purchase of silver bullion to be coined will add at least $50,000,000 to tbe circulating medium of the country within the next year, and that this will be an Increase of floating capital seek ing Investment in something else and at tbe same time will be as available for bank reserves as that much Increase of gold in the country, and therefore will Increase the ability ot the hanks to increase their loans. By the purchase of bonds also there Is that much more capital being turned out of the investment in tbem to find it in something else, and the low rates of Interest which the Government bonds pay now show that there Is an increasing demand for interest oaylnginvestments. lne folljwing tame snows tne prices or active stocks oa the ewirork Stock Exchange yester day.

The Long Series of Local Test Cases Remains Unbroken. SOME VERyTlAIN FACTS. For many reasons it was a notable inter view that the writer had with Mr. Joseph Marsh, residing at 303 Eenfrew street la the first place Mr. Marsh is well known and very popular among the citizens of the East End, and his story will be of great interest to.them, as well as to the general public The interview is notable in the second place for the remarkable experience it describes. During a recent interview with the writer, Mr. Marsh said: "Eight years ago I contracted the whoop ing cough. Although to all appearances I got rid of it, the bad effects were still left in my system, and for many years I have not known what it was to eDjoy a really well day. That may sound strange, bnt it is the case. "At first it was not very bad. Cold fol lowed cold, however, and soon I found the slight trouble had crown to a serious mat ter. My head and nose were constantly stopped up. I had a dull, heavy pain ia my forehead directly over my eye. There were roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. Mr. Jotcph Marsh, 103 Henfrew Street. "There was a feellns of tightness across the bridge of my nose. My eyes were weak and watery. I was continually hawking and rais ing large quantities of mucu3. which wonld drop bace Into my throat. Often this phlegm was STREAKED WITH BLOOD. "The mucus would collect In my throat and nearly smother me. Night after night I have sat up In bed and coughed continuously. When I did eet a little sleep it did me no good. I would arise in the morning tired and unre freshed. In the morning matters were equally as bad. It wonld take two or three hours' coughing and raising to raise the phlegm that had gathered in my throat. Sharp pains would shoot through my chest. My heart would beat rapidly at the slightest exertion. I bad given up all hopes of ever getting well, and really felt that death would be a relief, when I read of the wonderful success Drs. Copeland and Blair were having In treating catarrhal troubles and determined to see them. I found their charges very reasonable, so placed myself under their care. "The result has been truly miraculous. My head and heart no longer trouble me. The cough has disappeared. I eat and sleep well. My eyes are strong. I am refreshed In the morning and can do a good day's work. In fact all the symptons I complained of have left me, and I am a different person from tbe one I was when I first went under tbe doctors' treat ment."
