h :ppfrf?i rw$- "Xj-L i-v 1 i 'Wf - - Esma&qg Grand Army Day at Kock Point was a most stupendous success. Every comrade appreciates the change from the old Grand Army Day, with its lonp, weary march alone a narrow and jammed street. Not only do the comrades appreciate it, but their wives, families and friends gladly wel come the change. It is one that all can enjoy. The nnmber of old soldiers and their friends that went to Kock Point was even beyond expectation. The natural beauties of the place were enjoyed, as was the dancing and outdoor sports, and a general good time spent. The dress parade of the Grand Army was a success, as was that of the Sons of "Veterans after it. Excellent addresses were delivered at the camp fire. The ladies of the G. A. E. and the "Women's Beliet Corps handled the refreshment part of the programme with satisfaction to all. District Passenger Agent Samuel Moody, of the Pennsylvania railroad) pays a pleas ing compliment to the Grand Army by say ing that there never was an organization taken to the Point that maintained better order or cared better for the property of the railroad. He congratulated tbe Grand Army on tbis. The Urand Army In return was very much pleased with the way Mr. bloody took care of the immense crowds. Members of the General Committee think tbat much of the success of the occasion may be laid to Comrade A. P. Burchfleld. Chair man of the Entertainment Committee. He worked bard for the occasion, and may be con ,rratulated on the results. It was a day to be remembered pleasantly for alone time, and the Grana Army Day of lat Wednesday, which Is to be the Grand Army Day or the future, will berearter be looked for ward to from vear to year ltb feelings of the liveliest and pleasantest anticipation.

Accord ingly tbe comrades rendezvoused at tbe ball, and while catbering the purpose of the ladies was variously surmised. They were kindly received. After a half hour spent in congratu latory speeches a lull In tbe conversation gave opportunity for the presiding officer and Secre tary to retire for a moment, but they imme diately reappeared, bearing a magnificent silk flic, which was presented to the post on behalf of the Relief Corp by Mrs. Abbie Lynch. Commander Houghton, in receiving the flag for the pot. was so affected by the surprise tbat lie declared his Inability to make adequate acknowledgment to the ladles for their val uable gift.

Gathered Amonc tb Veterans. It was a great day. Everybody had a good time. Comrade X. S. Rees, of Post 157, is recover ing nicely and is again on duty. THE man who did uot enjoy himself at Rock Point should have been tossed in a blanket. THE ladies did their part to perfection, and deserve all tue credit that can be heaped upon tbem.

Eaton, of Post S, was dalled awav to Brookvlllo last week to attend the funeral of Mr. Edward A. Hatch. Mant comrades had no idea that Grand Armv Day conld be made so grand as it was demonstrated it conld be last Wednesday. Comrade John W. Morelakd, of Post 151, nsa waiter is a great success. But at Rock Point he was inspired by many charming ladies. Assistant Quaktermasteb general of the Department Williams' many friends were pleased to have him with them last Wednesday.

Post 151's target team was on the ground at Rock Point ready and eager to have a contest with the crack shots of Post 41, but the iatter were no place to be found, so Post 151's team asserts. The semi-annual address of Department Commander Denniston delivered at tbe Gettys burg encimnment appears in full In General Orders No. 13, as per resolution adopted by the encampment.

The proceeds from tbe sale of provisions will be devoted toward tbe home for old soldiers and their wives, at Brookville. A granite monument of a neat and artistic design, eight feet high, was yesterday placed over the grave of Colonel William Sirwell, who commanded the Seventy-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers for three years during the War of the.

Ha solicits from depart ment commanders and all comrades frank sug gestions upon matters within administrative jurisdiction pertaining to the wellare of the order. One of the most interesting features at the reunion did not materialize. This was the ball game between Post 151 and Post 230. Post 230 claims tbat Post 151's team backed out, but Post 151 says that the boys were having such a good time otherwise that they forgot all about it. There seems to be some ground for Post 230's claim, however, because few teams wonld care to ptay against a side that has 6uch a phe nomenal base runner as Captain John Harvey is said to be. THE reunion of the One Hundred and First and One, Hundred and Third Regiments, at Rck Point on Wednesday, was a very pleas ant affair, and many comrades grasped the hands of each other who had not met Since they separated at Andersonville.

The pavilion was hand somely decorated with United States flags, bunting and banners bearing the insciption of Andersonville, Salisbury and many others.

Panic-Makers Fairly Eouted and Driven Into Their Holes. PITTSBURG HAS NO WEAK SPOTS. Trend t Speculation Still Downward, lut Signs of a Turn in the Tide. ME NEWS iND GOSSIP OP THE CITI The panic is over and gone. Something punctured it. Poor thing, it was brought into the world like Richard belore Us time, scarce half made up, and that so lamely and in such crnde Btate as to excite laughter. There was a scare, it is true. Some people are easily frightened, and none know this better than the bears of the New York Ex change, and they have had their day in court. The stock bears are always looking ahead for a panic; that's their slogan. If it were not for that there wnttld be no Btock mar. ket, and prices would jog alofag and be gov erned by tbo earning power of the stock. These New York gentlemen had seen Old Hutch corner the grain market in Chicago and put wheat up to where he wanted it, and tbey bad beard about Armour, also of Chicago, cornering the meat and lard markets, and tbey knew the window glass people, under the lead of Lcefiler and Tim O'Leary. were going to Chicago to cbrner window glass, and that Chicago had a corner in nearly everything, in. eluding the World's Fair, and that something bad to be done, and tbat quickly, to take Chicago out of the world's eye for a day or two at least. It would be a gross libel on New York to say that any large number of her citi zens indulged in tbis senseless jealousy, but the number was large enough to form a modest combine, and tbey concluded to join about an equal number of importers and corner the money market They battered away for a few days and drove prices down until new margins wfere demanded by the banking interests, and as a result, money was run up just as prices and stocks went down. It was Greek against Greek and bear against bulb, and the bankers laughed and made tbe most of both. "When bo.th sides bad fonght until there wis nothing left in the bull ring but old clothes, they started the try of panic, and were so de moralized themselves that they actually be lieved a panic had resulted from their dis turbed conditions. Not a bit of it. panics do not start in that way. As well look for a bliz zard from tbe East. Financial panics are not accomnanied With brass band nnnnnnnemfitits ai though ample notice is given in advanced Who ever beard of a panic in money matters wun me ruling rates for motley at 4K to 6 per cent for four years immediately preceding it, and with iron, gia. and every staple article away down in price T Everything has been at bed-rock price for five years, including money. Panics result from prolonged periods of expan sion and inflation, and there will be no panic until after the bulls have controlled for a nnm ber of years, and Until Inflated prices ontmeas nre the volume of currency and run the rate of Interest up and keep it there for some time, then look out for a panic Some people say:" "Well, real estate is too high; there is too much speculation In it." Nothing of tbe kind Is true. The speculation In real estate if there is any Such element in it is only a drop in the great ocean of trade and does not amount to enough to disturb any thing. There is nothing speculative in any martet where the supply of a commodity is not equal to the demand. Every house in this city is rented, houses enough cannot be had, and the only panic in sight grows out of the fear that the demand will be greater than the sup-' ply for some years to come. Pittsburg is all right. She is not speculating. She Is dealing In her own natural products, and is competing with the markets of tbe world besides fnrnlsh. Ingthe lubricant for the machinery of the universe, and no panic can affect her. She is not dealing in futures, and holds in reserve, in the earth, enough in stored Values to knock even a Jay Gould panlo into smithereens. As stated, blizzards, as a rule, come from Manitoba, and paniei, as another certain rnle, come from long years of inflation of all com modities, with 9 to 10 pe cent as the ruling rate of interest. These conditions do not exist; they have not existed for seven years, and, in tbe language of the chemist, the chemical com binations are lacking. With this view Wo have no use for panic skeletons, and no closet to keep them In, and are glad the New Yorkers took to their holes and pulled the panic in tiuu wilq mem. if Baslnesi Kaws and Goattp. Good farms, large and small, in Allegheny county, can be bought all the way from $fiO to (75 an acre. Ewing fc Byers have sub-divided and put on the market the property known as the Keswick place, on th New Brighton road, which was recently purchased by J. Walter Hay. So mahy streets are torn up in the East End that a gentleman having business to transact only three squares from bis house had to drive nearly a mile to get to the place. The Chartiers Railway Company, operating between Mansfield and Washington, Pa., has 5647,850 of capital stock and a funded debt of 151)0,000.

Fa., on Tuesday next On Thursday of this webk John D. Bailey will offer at tbe Chamber of Commerce a large as sortment of gilt-edged securities. Figures made at this sale will no doubt raise the stand ard of value in some cases. Recent transactions on Washington street show that property on tbat thoroughfare is look ing np. This is owing to its proximity to the Court House and business center. Important improvements are on the carpet. The largest of S5 mortgages on file yesterday was Tor $25,000, given by the McKeesport and Youghiogheny Bridge Company to the Safe De posit Company of this city. Nineteen were for purchase money. Rumors of street railway gobbles are again on tbe street. It can be said tbat, whatever may happen, the Duquesne Traction Company is in the field to stay. Fei mlti for Krw Bnlldtngs.

Local Stocks Lose Ground, bat a Reaction Among the Probabilities AS a result of tight money and general de moralization Of the speculative markets, busi ness in local Blocks during the week was of small proportions and almost without excep tion at a lower range of prices. Sates yester day were the largest of any day of tbe week, aggregating 329 shares. For the week there were 1,199, against less than 1,000 the previous week. But while there Was a gain in bhslbess tbe number of Interests bandied was smaller. Closing prices, as compared with those of the previous Saturday, show concessions all along tbe line, but as, in nearly all oases, they were for fractions, the declines Signify nothing to the detriment of tbe properties. A few holders concioaea to realize, ana iney zonna customer for their Stuit That was all there was of it. Tbero was no Scare, and no fears of a panic Indeed, such a thing is almost impossible with such securi-esas Pittsburg offers to the public Although prices closed at about the lowest point of the week, there was a better feeling than for some time, and the hope was again Cherished tbat tbe worS' was over and the dawn of bette times near at hand. This was based upon easier money and returning con fidence in the East All that is needed to secure the fruition of this hope Is liberality on the part of bankers to the brokers, when they offer collateral "as good as wheat."

AHTI-PArTIC HGiJBES. Money and Business Present & Strong Front In Busy Pltiiburtr. There was a better feeling among local bank ers yesterday oyer the prospect of a speedy res toration of the normal condition of the money market. Loanable funds were in good supply and demand. Good borrowers were freely ac commodated at the regular rates, 67 per cent. No one feared any further trouble. Judging from the Clearing House report, which represents actual business, not guesses, things were lively in trade cin-le3 during the week. Bank exchanges were 15,510,282 06, against 12,243.180 93 tbe same week last year, showing a gain of 3,567,101 13. The gain this year to date over 1889 is 110,000,000. The proof or tbe pudding Js eating it. Croak ers should study these figures and change tt air tune, or bang themselves. Such large gains over a jear remarkable for actlyity compels the conclnsion that Pittsbdrg is not ntlly prosper ous beyond, precedent,, but is expanding her activities at a rate which will soon place her beyond rivalry or competition.

The stock mar ket to-day was very quiet and heavy to weak from tbe opening to the close, witb tbe result of leaving almost everything traded in lower than last evening. Tbe strong tone which ex isted lat evening did not last over till this morning, and London especially was not in clined to buy while the arbitrary brokers were sellers at the opening. The bears then went In to take tbo market auay from tbem, and, meet ing with practically no resistance, hammered tbe list all along tbe line. The downward movement met with no check, and tho opening prices are generally the highest, of the dav, while the closing are tbe lowest. The industrial stocks received most attention, but even Lackawanni was prominent for its losSes,and these were followed by the Grangers. Missouri Pacific, bow ever, was prominent far activity, but was remarkably well belt) and its final loss is only Ji per cent. The trusts were early a fair mark for tbe operations of the bears and 1mm the first transactions tbey yielded, followed by St. Paul. It was hot until the last hour that Lackawanna became prom inent, bpt declined rapidly and scored a ma terial loss before tbe close. The market finally closed fairly active and weak at tho lowest figures, Chicago Gas being down IJi, Sncar ReUnerles 1, Lackawanna lii. and Burlington 1 per cent. Rilltoad bonds Were quite actlve,the sjles being (195,000. but out of this amount Texas Pacific Incomes furnished 8100.000. There was very little move ment in tbe mat ket and all the final changes are Insignificant except .1 gain of 1 in Kansas and Texas general 6j to 82. Government bonds dull and steady. State bonds have v been neglected. The -Post says: The roads in the Middle S.tates and especially in the bituminous coal regions ot Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are doing better than at any tiue before for at least five or six 5 ears, and now tbat the New York Cen tral strike, which depressed tbe Vanderbilt stock so much, has been almost forgotten, tho-o stocks will recover at least a large part of their declines In tbe last two or three months. So far as other considerations than money are con cerned the granger stocks are tbo only ones whose prospects are not very flattering. But If money become as cheap as there is now reason to think it will In tbo next month, even they will feel the effects of a general rise in thestock market, especially as tbere is still a very large outstanding snort Interest In them.

Tips From the Idilde for the Benefit of Local Investors, Bpeclal to John M. Oakley ft Co. New Yoek. September 20. The bnlls were in high glee yesterday, and the bears were mo mentarily retreating, but the pleasures of tbe bulls were short lived. To-day the market showed tbat tbe bears had done their most anxious covering, and tbat holders were taking advantage of the opportunity to get out. It was long selling to-day that broke the market, and one cannot help but think that Mr. Gould's constant appearance in the street as a bnll talker is for tbe purpose of making a market to sell on. Large operators who express emphatic opinions are always under a suspicion that commission brokers are measurably free from. We honestly believe that stocks are to go lower than yet seen this snmmer, and we say tbis in tbe face of immense Treasury disburse ments and no end of bull gossip. We feel it, and that is tbe reason we wish our long custom ers to sell. Tbe bank statement stowed the associated banks to have 81.9CO.0Ol) above the legal limit, and they are in a better condition than these figures disclose, but tbe money market is eitber a feast or a famine. Tbe Treasury bas turned Itself inside oat to save Wall street from a panic. It has bought 4s and 5s in large blocks, disbursing in tbis way witnln a month nearly sixty millions. It has anticipated inter est for a year on over six millions bonds, and yet hardly a national bank lathis city to-day will make a time loan. Tbe bulls are those who have something to sell. The bears are those who are ont and regard the Situation perhaps witb a little severity as critics, bnt who are nevertheless bearish because they are not com pelled to be bullish. The outlook for net railway earnings on the Western and Southern systetns is not good compared with what tbey were last year, and unless tbey can do better we think these stocks are not worth tbe money. The mercan tile community is overloaded witb imported goods that must be sold, &Hd if Democratic members of tbe House continue to filibuster and Republican absentees do not all return It is barely possible tbe tariff bill may go over to the next session in December, prolonging the misery If tbe bill passes it will be some time before trade adapts itself to it, and tbe effect of such a radical measure cannot be estimated in a day or a week. Besides tbis, if European governments make retaliatory orders to our grain as France bas done as to our pork In re turn for importing duties on pictures and wine, we may be placed at a great disadvantage in tbe export trade. We venture to predict that inside of three weeks the Bank of England will raise its dis count rate to 5 per cent. Onr market will be subject to occasional rallies, but we db not feel justified in modifying our bearish expressions of the last six weeks. Bostdh Mock.

Bnslnessl Brisk on tKe Lever Tbe Wnter Take a Drop The Snnsboat Working otDnvIs Island Coal Operator Grnm blent Del tr. The prediction of rain on Friday did not ma terialize. Inasmuch as the weather was a de gree or so too chilly, and the river still con tinues to go down, reaching the seven-foot gauee'before it stopped. Business was equally as brisk as the winds, wblcb blew np from the Ohio notwithstanding tbat one packet was missing. The matter that interests coal shippers most at this time Is the work of the snagboat Wood ruff. Her operations in the Ohio in moving obstructions will tend to increase coal shipping to some extent. Tbe opportunities of the snag boat to do good and effective work dnringthe summer were many. When navigation was stopped no better time to clear the river conld have been desired, but tbe Government put the matter off from week to week, increasing the risks which have heretofore been a drawback of no little conseqnencn to the coal trade. It Is a question. Captain J. A. Wood says, whether the boat can do any good before tbe water becomes too high. Her first work will be at Davis Island dam, where she went yes terday to remove some piling. After tbat she works on down, and tbe obstructions are so many a rhort distance below tbe dam that it is likely that She will be overtaken by the fall floods before she gets down to tbe places mostly In need of attention. The coal shippers are glad to see the work of cleaning the stream started, and will overtook their grievances irthe snaes are ont before another million or two bushels of coal go for naught against tbe Bdags. Drift wood. EIGHT feet five IncLes was In the Ohio at Davis Island last nlitht. The Belle McOowan helped the Dlex Fulton ont with her tow yesterday. The Keystone State, due here to-morrow from Cincinnati, will likely be a few hours late. Captain Henderson looks for a railing off In tbe river trade now that the season is fairly Inau gurated. If the water remains at its present height ror awhile work will be commenced on the sunken Joseph a. Nixon. Work on the Pittsburg and Chartiers wharf boat Is not quite completed, but she will be off tbe ways to-mo. row evening. Captain J. A. Hsnoeksot stated";yesterday that the C. W. Bitchellor wilt not be ready for two weeks yet and in the meantime another boat will be put on In ber place. THE Courier made her weekly trip to this port from Parkersburg last night and left again. Tbe Ben Hur will arrive from tbe same place to-day and leave to-morrow. Captain Ci AELE9 CH17BCH, of tbe Southern Transportation Company, will negotiate with the President of the Missouri Hirer Transportation Company ror the charter of the new State or Mis souri now nearly completed at Lomsrllle. to en ter tbe Cincinnati ana New Orleans trade. The steel tug Reliance was launched yesterday at Dubuque, la. It Is being built ror tbe Con solidated Coal Company, of St. Louis.

Moore is Fb, nally Cured by DRS, C0PELAND k BLAIR, "About two years ago exposure brought on a severe cold. Like all young men I paid bnt little attention to it. Cold followed cold, until I soon found that I was afflicted with a serious catarrhal trouble." The speaker was Mr. J. S. Moore, of Ho. 1914 Seventh street, Sonthside, a partner with Mr. Miller, the well-known restau rateur at No. 121 and 123 Fifth avenue. It was of his successful treatment with Drs. Copeland & Blair, lorhis catarrhal tronble that Mr. Moore re erred. Beaders of these columns will remember the case of Mr. Miller, which appeared about six weeks ago, after having been permanently cured by Drs. Copeland & Blair for a serious stem eh trouble. "As I said." continued Mr. Moore, 'I was In a serious condition. My bead and nose were constantly stopped op. 1 bad a paid in my forehead directly over my eyest This pain also often extended as far back as my head and neck. Mr. J. S. Moore, 121 Fifth Avenue. "I conld feel tbe mucus drop back into my throat. 1 was constantly raisinc; large quanti ties of phlecin. My throat was raw and In flamed. Cfien it was so sore tbat I could, scarcely swallow. A dry, backing conbg set In. Sharp pains would shoot through my cest, extending as far as tbe shoulder blades. Tbey were so severe at times as to cause ice to gasp for breath. "Ulght sweats setln. I would have to change my clothes as often as three times In one night. My limbs were icy cold, and swollen. I had no appetite, and tbe sight of food caused a nausea at mystomacb. My beart would beat rapidly. The palpitation would be followed by a slow, irregular beating and a feeling of faintness. Tbere was a heavy feeling in mv chest as of a weight pressing down. My family were all of a phthisical nature, and x felt sure I had con sumption. "while in this condition I was advised by Mr. Samuel Crawford, of Hugos & Hacke, to try Dr Copeland Blair, he having; treated with and was permanently cured by tbem of a similar trouble. I called at their office and after consultation commenced treat ment." "Has tbe result been satisfactory?" "Perfectly so. I feel like a different man. My bead, nose and throat are clear. Tbe pains in my chest bave disappeared. I bate a good appetite. In fact, stating it briefly, all the symptoms I mentioned hare left me and I owe the change in my condition to Drs. Copeland & Blair." Mr. Moore lives as stated at No. 1914 Seventh street, Sohtbside, or can be seen at 121 Fifth avenue, and this interview readily verifled. Dome Treatment. Mrs.!; Robert Ramsey, of Washington, Pa., speaking nf ber successful treatment with Drs. Copeland & Blair, says: "Every fall for tbe past five years 1 bave been troubled with chronic dyspepsia. Have tried countless remedies and various physicians without anyelief. 1 conld not get ease from pain tn. -any position I would assume.
