SPECULATIVE MANIA.
Short Cuts to Fortune Are Beset
With Many Obstacles.
HONEST, PATIENT INDUSTRY BEST.
Some Eigns of Pittsburg's Great Pros
perity at Present.
TBADE DOES SOT KOW MEED PUSHING
Office of Pittsburg Dispatch. J
Tuesday, beptember 2. 1S90.
The current number of the Youth's Com
panion has a timely editorial shotting forth
the dangers of young America from these
three sources: The cup, speculation and
indorsing others' notes.
Under the head of speculation there are
some timely words which would be of in
calcnable benefit to Young Americans who
would take heed. Said a successful pro
fessional gentleman ot large experience and
great success in his particular calling: "1
would have been worth more than double
what I am if I had entirely avoided
outside schemes for making money. A
number of times in my life when
I had a little money ahead, gathered
from bard work in my regular calling, some
one came alone with a great mininc project or
.some new Invention which was to revolutionize
society, and J took the bait and permanently
invested my bard earnings. There has been
scarcclj an instance where any of these outside
schemes panned out. Our people are no longer
satisfied with the old-time methods of gaining
a competency or fortune, namely, by patient,
ploddmc Iodustry All are anxious to take a
bhort cut to fortune.
Motto for Business Men.
"The few who succeed m speculation are ad
vertised far and wide, but the many who
fail in these speculative schemes are
little Known. The proverb, 'Let the shoe
maker stick to his last,' is one particularly
applicable to our times and people. For one
man that succeeds in speculation a dozen fart.
The sure winning card In business is the mas
tery ot some trade or profession, and then the
grace of sticktoativeness. All schemes which
promise sndaen and vast wealth should be met
with- Get thee behind me, Satan. " Their
name is legion nho have gone down into the
whirlpool of bankruptcy becauso they stepped
aside from the business or trade which they
understood to dabble in outside things. 1 be
short cuts to fortune are beset with obstacles
which the inexperienced young man little
dreams of. A young man ot good habits and a
trade or profession which he has mastered is
better equipped for business success than if he
inherited millions. And wise is he who sticks
to the calling for which nature and training
have fitted him.
Signs of Prosperity.
An evidence of Pittsburg's prosperity is seen
in the fact that jobbers In most departments of
trado report that there is no longer a necessity
of hnnting custom. Trade is more disposed to
come to us than it has been at any time since
the war. Wholesale grocers particularly have
no neca this season to push trade. Business of
late, has been rather better than they like.
ith prices cenerally drifting upward, the
goods generally prove more valuable than
money. The jobber rinds it impossible to re
place stock at prices lor which he is selline
stock. In the lines of syrups, canned and dried
iruus ana rice, it nss been aimcuit of late to
keep up with the upward movement and hence
the goods have been more valuable than money.
Cheese on the Ilisr.
A Pittsburg dealer in dairy products has just
returned from an extensive trip throuch the
Western Reserve, and thus reports the situa
tion as to cheese "The feeling at the factories
Is that prices are bound to go higher, and hence
it was very difficult to find any of the makers
who were willing to sell or consign stock. In
some places it was claimed that the shrinkage
of milk production was 30 to 40 per cent, as
compared ith the highest point reached in
July. There is no doubt that the cheese facto
ries are more bare of stock than they ordinarily
are at this season of the j ear. Hon ever, there
is no dinger of a cheese famine. The
yield and quality will be up to
the average season. I never saw finer
July cheese than that turned out by the Ohio
factories this season. That now coming to
market Is the product of the early part of
August, shippers are disposed to withhold
their stock in the faith that markets are bound
to advance." In confirmation of this faith, ad
vices from New York cheese centers, TJtica and
Little Falls, received to-dav how an advance
of lc per pound. The speculative influence is
alread) apparent in the cheese market. Stock
Is gathered In as fast as produced, and all signs
point to higher prices.

HAEKETS BY TVIRE.
A Better Feellnr In the Grain Fit, and
Most of Monday's Lois Recovered
Buyers Scared by Predic
tions of Cold Weather.
CHICAGO Wheat There was a stronger
feeling In the market to-day, and most of tho
decline of yesterday was recovered. There no
doubt was a change In sentiment, some of the
larger traders who have been operating on the
short side leaning more strongly to the bull
side. The opening was a higher than yes
terday's closing, and after fluctuating some lit
tle time within a z range started up and ad
vanced Vifi above inside figures, held rather
flrmlv and closed about lc for August, ljc
for December and le higher for May than
closing figures yesterday.
Corn There was a fair business within a J
c range, and the feeling developed was some,
what stronger, the bulk of the trading being at
higher prices. The better tone was due in 'a
measure to the advance in wheat and to rumors
of colder weather predicted in the West, which
created an increased demand from shorts and
other sources. First trades were at a slight ad
vance. Afterward the market sold op with
some reaction JJc, reacted some, ruled
firmer and closed with a lc gain.
Ooats were fairly active and steadier, the
change being only the natural reaction after
the severe decline of vesterday. The offerings
were not so free, and the demand attimes quite
urgent, especially from shorts. Most of the
trading was in May, but there was also fair bid
ding for October, and sales were at about the
same figure as September. Opening sales were
about the same figures as yesterday's close, but
advanced Jc and the market closed steady at
almost tho outside prices.
Mess pork A fair trade was reported in Oc
tober and in January options. Offerings were
moderately free, and the demand fair. Prices
were steady at the opening but receded 701Oc
under the influence of more liberal offerings.
Toward the close they rallied 25c, and closed
steady.
Lard Demand was moderate and offerings
not very large. The feeling was rather steady
and prices exhibited only slight changes. Trad
ing was only fair, and the market closed steady
at medium figures.
Short Rib Sides Trading was only moderate
and there n ere no marked changes to note.
Prices fluctuated within about Monday's
range. t

Pittsburg's Probabilities a Strong Factor in
Maintaining Tallies.
THE NEWS AHD GOSSIP OP THE CITI
It is not so much what Pittsburg Is as
what she promises to be that constitutes the
real basis of real estate values. Her growth
is of a kind that not only embodies all the
elements of stability, but of indefinite ex
pansion. He would be a bold man who
would undertake to set limits to her con
quests. Public and individual munificence is de
vising a system of parks, or breathing places
which will, when accomplished, add greatly
to the attractions of the city and its sur
roundings, and enhance the value of prop
erty. If to this be added the advantages of
rapid transit which is reaching out like an
octopus Into every nook and corner, it will be
seen that the prospect is as pleasinc as the
most ardent could desire.
The suburbs are destined to be the homes of
the people. The city proper will be devoted to
business. This is so now to a great extent,
but the lines will be more closely drawn as pop
ulation and business Increase. This will en
largo the demand for outside property and pre
vent a reaction in prices. Fairly viewed and
judged in the light of fact and probability,
Pittsburg real estate is as safe and sure as
Government bonds.
Permit! for New Bnlldlnss.
Hereafter building permits will be published
in this column as they are issued from day to

usual every Sunday morning. Permits taken

Business Ni-w and Gossip,
Business is always quiet after a holiday. Yes
terday was no exception to the rule.
Joseph S. Finch & Co. are building a four
story addition to their warehouse at the foot of
Second street, Southside.
A Pittsburg gentleman who was recently in
Kansas City says the building trade there is at
a stand owing to short crops
Buckeye oil seems to have lost all the friends
it ever had except the Standard. It posed
yesterday without a transaction.
The Dnquesne Taction Company has planted
poles on Negley and North Highland avenues.
Both tracks have been laid on North Highland,
and on Negley both tracks are down from Bry
ant street to Hayes
Rea Brothers & Co sold 20 shares of Pleasant
Valley Railway stock at 2S.
The steadiness of natural gas stocks shows
that fears of failure of supply are not wide
spread. The Pittsburg and LaKe Erie Railroad Com
pany will, early next month, occupy rooms in
the Pittsburg National Bank building.
Of 26 houses in Coltart square. Oakland, and
eight on Forbes street, built by William Wood,
of Philadelphia, all but three have been sold
through the agency of W, A. Herron & Sons.
Reports from the West say the crops were
greatly Improved by the rains which fell last
week.
Quite a number of absentees have returne-l
to the city, and others are on the way. Their
reappearance in business harness will make
things more lively.
The reduction of tare to East Linerty to 3
cents would be a boon to that part of the city.
It would attract many home-seekers and
quicken business in real estate. Indeed, every
interest would be benefited.
Something is said to be wrong with the abut
ments of the bridge over Wood's run, which
may delay its completion. It was stated yester
day that they had been condemned.
Movements In RenI Estate.
C. Berlngcr t Son sold for John S. Shaffer a
two-story dwelling of seven rooms on Erm
street to A. C. Davis for 2,500.
Samuel W. Black & Co. sold a lot in Osgood
place, situate on Maple avenue. Twelfth ward,
Allegheny City, size 43 feet front by a depth of
115 to an alley, for 1,400.
W. A. Herron & Sons sold the last house re
maining unsold in Coltart square, Oakland a
new brick house of nine rooms and all the

HOPE IN THE FUTURE.
Though Business Was Small on Wall Street
the Market Displayed a Firm Tone
Opened With a Boom An Un
saual Trade la Stocki.
New York, September 2. There is a grow
ing disposition in Wall street to look upon the
hopeful side of tbe situation. The market there
fore displays a decidedly firm tone on a small
volume ot business. To day there was some
thing like a boom at the opening, and sales were
made (it material advances over Saturday's final
figures, the gains generally extending to per
cent, while Sugar Refineries were up 1 3-7 per
cent. The number of stocks traded in was
larger than usual of late, and the strength
reached all portions of the list, although the
further gains, especially in the general list,
were insignificant. London was tbe moving
factor in the advances. Commission buying
helped the early gains but the demand was soon
satisfied, and, dullness becoming again a'feat
ure, the traders were again encouraged to take
the sbort side, especially as tbere was an effort
to bid up money, which, however, was unsuc
cessful, and rates immediately dropped back to
tbe lowest point of the day.
Sugar yielded materially in the forenoon and
the rest of the market sagged off in sympathy,
though in but few cases was more than the
opening gains neutralized. The statement re
cently issued by the cotton oil officials met
with some favor and all classes of the stock
felt th5timulns and the receipts rising to 27
against 24! Saturday, and the new stock to 22
from 19. The downward movement intbete
mainder of the list was not checked, however,
and the close was dull and heavy generally, at
fractional losses from the opening figures. The
final changes are in all cases for small frac
tions with the exception of Rock Island, which
is down c
Railroad bonds were very quiet, and, as
usual, without pronounced tone, and the
changes in quotations were generally confined
to Insignificant amounts. " The sales reached
only 688,000.
Government bonds have been dull and steady.
Btate bonds have been entirely neglected.
The JPost says: Tbe reason for the greater
activity and higher prices for the Granger
stocks to-day was that tbere is still a very large
outstanding short interest in them which is get
ting uneasy, though there bas as yet been no
marked attempt to cover It. All ot these
stocks, and to some extent, also the Vander
bilt stocks were sold short, partly on account
of threatened railroad strikes, partly on ac
count of the tight money market and partly
also on account of the rnmors about the finan
cial condition of Rock Island, which' as a rep
resentative granger road was presumed to in
dicate something of tho affairs and prospects
of tbe other granger roads. But now that the
capitalists wbo control and manipulate St.
Paul have begun to talk about a dividend on
the common stock some time in the near
future, possibly next year, it will help to
strengthen all the Granger stocks.

stocks on the cw York Stock Exchange yester--day.

Something About tbo Obstruction In the
Rivers and Their KemovnL
J. M. Wilson, ot the Monongabela and Ohio
River Navigation Company, talked on the
question of river obstructions yesterday. He
said: "I hear a great many rlvermen kicking
about the low bridges between the Point and
Herr's Island, and something should be done
to remedy it. It blocks traffic on this river,
and if the bridge companies were compelled to
do something it would be a matter of untold
thousands to tbe city of Pittsburg, it the
bndges were raised to permit navigation."
Business was quiet about the wharf yester
day. The water fell during the day. At 8 a.

Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Last week's prices of creamery butter were
reaffirmed by the powers that be on Monday
afternoon. The upward movement of butter
Tias been arrested. Oleo bas come to the front
since the recent advance, and as a result tbe
genuine stuff has slightly weakened. Cheese
is still on tbe advance, and, our prices are
raised, in accordance with facts based on actual
sales. Tomatoes have suddenly, taken an up
ward turn, on account of tbo cool weather,
which prevents their ripening, and prices are
doable wbat they were a week ago. Potatoes
are steady at quotations. Melons are slow.
Supply of sweet potatoes is above demand and
markets give signs of weakness. Demand for
grapes is fully up to snpply, and prices are
firm. Western peaches are in fair supply at SI
to 31 25 a peck basket. General produce trade
has improved since the month opened.

Groceries.
All staple goods are active, and the drift is
toward higher prices. Syrups of all kinds are
very firm, and tbere is little doubt that our
quotations will soon be advanced. The Na
tional Association, which regulates prices, bas
advanced syrups 2c per gallon within a few
days, the third advance this season. Our job
bers here are still selling at old prices, but
when their stock is exhausted they will be com
pelled to advance, as tbey are now selling be
low present cost. Sugars are firm at the recent
advance. Package coffee falls to rise, as job
bers have anticipated for weeks past. Markets,
however, are steady, and ereen coffees rela
tively higher than packages.

The Terrible Suffering of a Lady Her
Neighbors Thought She Must Die.
As further evidence of the cures made by tha
catarrh and dyspepsia specialists o( 323 Penn
avenue, and of patients who have suffered
from disease in its most aggravated form, and
after they had exhausted all available mean J
elsewhere, is that of Mrs. Henry Hunzlker,
wbo resides at 249 Colwell street, in tna
Eleventh ward, of this city.
Mrs. Henry Hunzlker.
The aches and pains she bad in almost every
part of her body were simply unbearable. Im
mediately after eating, her stomach would ba
seized with terrible pain ana cramps, which,
would continue until she would vomit up her
food, and tbe gas that formed wonld cause her
stomach to swell as if It would burst. In facS
all kiuds of food excepc milk would cause pain.
She bad pain over her eyes, dizziness and
noisrs In her ears. Her mouth would have a
bitter, disagreeable taste every morning; Sha
bad pain in both sides and across the small
of her back, and in the niKhtrif she lay on her
left side she would be seized with the most ex.
cruclating pain, and her heart wonld palpitate
as If it would jnmp out of her body.
Night sweats weakened her fast, and she bad
a constant tired feelinjr. but more tired in tha
morning than on going to bed. While in
this condition she consulted the above special
ists, whose reputation for making permanent
cures has long since become thoroughly estab
lished. She says of tbe matter:
"Although I had doctored with several phy.
sicians and with patent medicines, I got no re
lief, but gradually grew worse. In fact my
neighbors and even I myself thought I could
only live a few months. Reading in the papers
how Mrs. Bratt had been cured of terrible
CTamps and pains by the catarrh specialist
at 323 Penn avenue I took a course
of treatment and now I gladly testify to my
complete cure ot all my aches and pains aa
above described. 1 cheerfully recommend
these specialists to all sufferinc from catarrh
or stomach trouble. Siirned with my own hand.
'MRS. HENRY HUNZIKER."
Please remember these catarrh specialists ara
permanently located at 323 Penn avenue and
nowhere else in this city.
