WEALTH WISELY AXD BETTER USED frajer and Faith as Qualifications for ETcrj-Day Business, AMOXG CHANGES THAT ARE COMING jSrtCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.! Bbooklvn, September 2L Preliminary to his sermon at the Academy of Music in this city, this forenoon, Rev. Dr. Talmage announced that, until the new Brooklyn Tabernacle was completed, he would preach in the Brooklyn Academy of Music on Sun day mornings. He was glad to add that, by an arrangement niade through the Cliristian Ilerald, of New York City, he would be en abled to preach in the New York Academy of Music, on Fourteenth street, on Snnday evenings, bsginning with the evening of September 28. He also announced that on next Sabbath morning, September 28, he would begin a series of sermons entitled: "ily Recent Journey Through tne Holy Land and Neighboring Countries; 'What I Saw and Learned." The subject of to-day's sermon was: "Crooked Things." Text, Isaiah iu, 4: "The crooked shall be made straight." Uconietry. from the time it was discovered on the banks of the Nile, which, by its over flow annuall) obliterated the landmarks, and the restoration of these landmarks made such a science necessary I say, geometry, ever since then has been busy with lines, straight lines, curved lines, lines m angles and cones and spheres, but never has been able to evolve a .y beauty from a line that was merely rooked. "The circle and the square were alwajs couMdcred admirable. Isaiah recog nizes the circle and sas: "The Lord sits upon 'he circle of the earth." The altar of the ancient tabernacle was "four square." and the breastplate of the priests "four square." and lieavcii. according to St. John, is "four square.' ltut the Bible has no admiration for Ins that are merely crooked. Indeed, my text in prophesying the world's complete rec fieation declares: "The crooked shall be t-.ade straight." THE GOOD WEALTH DOES. Much of the wealth of the world is in the Lands of the profligate while many of the best people arc subjected to distressing privation; ana there is going to be a redistribution of property. If it were possible, it would be a tiau thing to have things divided equally. Some men are able to endure more success 'dan others, and prosperity that might not un balance you might destroy me. The Declara tion .f merican Independence declares that a t men are born equal, but the opposite is the truth for they are born unequal. In no respect i this more eiidenr than in their capacity to c.tJure succesj.tinancial or social. I have seen iei. ! the acquisition of $50,000 made arro gant and overbearing, and I have knoun others u ii !i heir millions of dollars childlike and un--S'ummg aud Christian. We would all be af fluent but the Lord cannot trust us. lam glad uere are those He can trust. Mui-h is said against capitalists, but the world would be a very shaky world without fern. Who built the great railroads which, wa.Ie they give such facilities of travel, em r oy tens of thousands of laborers supporting ti em and their families? Capitalists. Who built great ships that stir the rivers and bridge ie ocean Capitalists Who reared the sousands of factories all over the land in which hundreds of thousands of employes earn aeir dally bread? Capitalists. Who endowed i our colleges and opened free libraries and t-uJt asylums for the orphan, the crippled and tiie insane? Capitalists. Cut for them there would not bean Academy of Mumc,' or a pict ure gallery, or a free library, or a steamboat, or a railroad in America. Who nut the world on i ears bevond what it would have been in enterprise, in comforts, in educational advan 'age in good things without number? Capi talists. The more money a man gets tho better if it come honestly and is employed rigbteocs- i- js evertneiess we an see mat mere needs to be a redistribution of prooerty. Communism proposes to make that distribution by torch a i Jdagger and dynamite. Throw the mid right express train off the track and pat tbe 2 1 ujry into conflagration. Disrupt society. 1 rglanze. Assassinate. Such people believe T her in Uod nor man nor woman and they ka low to make things worse but never i.vo made and never can make anything Letter. MORE BEKEFACTOES. I tell you how there will come a redistribn fon of property. Under the divine blessing good people will get more alertness and acu men and assiduity. Many good people are kept in straitened circumstances because they have been indolent, or lacked courage to take Lonest advantage of circumstances, and were too stunid to get on. With the very same sur roundings others went onto competency. In ' e better days to come good men will have r;r faculties wakened, and will in conse quence rise to larger share of prosperity. On e other hand, estates wrongfully accum ulated will dissolve. If not the sons, then the r .ndsons will make the money fly, and it will i. adu illy scatter in their band, and become j (.art of the general wealth. Then, as to vast jperties righteously gathered and there are ' ousands of them such estates will contri bute toward helping the unfortunate, not more j chanties than Dy helpins struggling people. v e arc coing to have a multiplication of Will- -a ! Dodges, and Peter Coopers, and James xes. and George Peabods. So will come cmbution, and the crooked will be made r:n ' ! this- God never yet undertook a fail- 1 lie old book which is worth all other - put together, makes it nlain that God has -rtaken toTesulate this world by rrospel in- t ;cc. and if lie has the power He will do v 3 Up says He will, and no one who amounts a yihing will deny His power.

Yinr aflairs may seem all 'u outsider, for business Arms do not ad- f their private troubles, but where one : caseverthingjnstas they wantit.-there i t umlred firms at their wit's end, what to r rti that partner who draws more than his s r. oi the profits, or with that stockholder 0 comes in u.t often enough to upset - jr or with that disappearance of funds libjon cannot account for, although you t -rp su-picions jou cannot mention, or with a) investment which was made contrary to -u ladcment because there was a determma- r to push it through, or because von are ag behind month by month without any respect if extrication. The trouble isput- a wrinkle on your forehead that ought d to appear there for 10 years yet, and you m" be 4P vears old when you oucht to be only or CI n hen you ought to bo 50, or 70 when ouirht to be onlv CO. fetop worrying. t ie liv the dissolution f that firm, or by .tijusting matters yon will be THOUGHT SAFELY THEOTJGH f von put your trust in God. When commer " houses fail the suspension is advertised, bur of the tens of thousands of men, who are "very day extricated no public mention is made. 1 csterday-was Saturday and I warrant that at thewirdowsof the banks, and in counting rooms ot stores and on everv street of every -it God appeared for the deliverance of good ora as certainly as when with His right foot He trod Ijike Galilee, into placidity and n-ie Daniel as safe anions the lions as though he had been house tings asleep on a rug be fore a winter's fire. Turow yourself ou the croir.ise of the text, or a hundred other texts -leaning about the same thing. i nein jciiwhcu ui to no anything but He lid it. if it were best, and in all tho cases where my prayer has not been answered, I have iund out afterward that it was best cot to hae been answered in mv way. But nono of is nave tested the full power of prayer. It is a r,rce verj like some of the forces of nature, Lat were in existence but not employed. For ges electricity was thought good for nothing at o burn barns and kill people with fell .troke. Jiur now electricity lightens . JKies. ard churches, and cities, and Clins endom, and motes rail cars, and he is a rash an who mentions anything as impossible to his natural ent-rgy. Ho the power ot praver iras to the world rather a frightful power it it cas any power at all. Hut that has' been usnecd. and men begin to use it in some thincs. ad the time will come when it will be used in things and there will be alliblein every - unung-rooni and supplication will ascend on every commercial establishment, and ben bus ucss firms are formed the question i.i not only be asked as to how much this oue r that one put in of -apita!. but the question ; -ie a-ked "Do you know how f pra?" '.ktier agent than any natural force vet de e.cped will be this gopel electricitv. flashing .cavenward for help, flashing earthward with rlne response. Washmcton Allston. whose name you recog ire as that of a great American painter, was educed to extreme poverty, and one day cot on his kness and asked for a loaf of bread for himself and his starving family. While he was bowed in that prayer there was a knock at the door and a man came in and said: "How about your painting, the 'Angel" Uriel,' that received the prize at tbe Royal Academx? Has it been sold?" "No;"' said Allston. "How much do you want for it?" Allston replied: "I am done fixing a price for I cannot get it." "Will 1 400 be enough?" asked the stranger. "Why, that is more than I asked," said Allston. GOD'S ASSWEE TO rEATEIt, Tbe 400 (S2,000), were paid and the pur chaser introduced himself as Marquis of Staf ford, who thereafter was one of the most lib eral patrons of the rescued artist. "Oh, that all just happened so I" Did it ? Tell that to some ignorant man, some benighted woman, who has never read the promise: "'Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver thee," or that other promise:. "The crooked shall be made straight." "Well," says one, 'tou don't anply this in every direction." Yes, I do. Take the most uncertain thing on earth the weather. The Bible distinctly says that prayer controls the weather. James v:lS: "Elijah was a man subject to like nassions as we are and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it rained not on the earth for the space ot three years and six months; and he p raved again and tbe heavens gave rain." I)o you say that was the weather of olden time ? There have been instances lr. modern times just-as marvelous. There's not a Christian ship captain but could inve you Instances of divino Interference with the weather in answer to prayer. It has been my aood fortune to know many ship captains. They are in all our services. They leave their vessels on Sunday mornings and join us in worship. 1 warrant there are enough of them present this morning to take a whole fleet in safety across the Atlantic. Whenever I have heard'them testify, it has mightily con firmed roe in what I knew betore, that God an swers prayer concerning the weather. And thero have been cyclones that started up from the Carribbean Sea, sweeping down every sail and every smokestack and every mast in their course, which in answer to specific petition have been diverted and made to curve around some particular ship, leaving that in calm waters, and then resuming their original path of destruction. The weather probabilities again and again have announced a tempest and we were already for it, but to the surprise of most people, the next day we saw the announcement that the atmospheric fury had changed its, course. The probability is it struck a prayer andglanced off. If Elijah's praycraffected the weather ot Palestine tor 42 months, I should think somebody now might have a prayer that w ould atfect it for a couple of days. John Easter was many years agp an evangel ist in Virginia. A large out-door meeting was being held in the State. Many thousands bad assembled in the open air and heavy storm clouds began to gather. There was no shelter to which tho multitude could retreat. The rain had already reached the adioinimr fields when John Kaster cried out. "Brethren be still while I call upon God to stay tbe storm till the gos pel is preached to this multitude." Then he knelt and prayed that the audience might be spared from the rain and that after they had gone to their homes there might come refresh ing showers. Behold, TEE CLOUDS PAKTED. as they came near and passed to either side of tbe crowd and then closed again, leaving the place dry where tbe audience had assembled, and the next day the postponed showers came upon tbe ground that had been the day before omitted. Do you say it only happened so? I cannot see what you keep your Bibles for, and the God you worship is not my God. Your God Is an autocrat, and He is so far off and so far up that the world cannot touch Him, and his throne is an eternal iceberg. My God is a father, here and now, and a father will give his child what be asks for, U it is best for him to have it. Prav about everything that conrcrns you. sccularities as well as spiritualities. Take to God all your annoyances and perplexities. The crooked shall be made straight. Some peo ple talk as though God controlled things in general, bnt not in particular; that he started everything under certain laws and then let it take care of itself, as an engineer might start bis locomotive on an iron railroad track and then jump off. What would happen to such a locomotive is what would long ago have hap pened to our world if God had started it and afterward allowed it to look out for itself. Thero is no such thing as a general provi dence. It is a particular providence. God has no general care for a forest. It is a care of every cell of every leaf and root in that forest. ' God has no general care of the ocean. It is a care of every drop of water in the liquid mag nitude. God has no general care for the human race. It is a care of every Individual of that race, and of every item of individual his tory. I preach Him, a God in infinitesimals, an every-day God, a God responsive, nnd one breath of earnest prayer, though that breath should not be strong enough to make a candle flicker, will absorb more of tbe divine atten tion than if the archangel standing at the foot of the throne should flap both wings. It is remarkable how many crooked things are in tbe providence of God being made straight. About 30 vears ago our national af fairs were as crooked as depraved American politics and bad men and Satan could make them. From tbe top of Maine to tbe foot of Florida tho nation was red with wrath. It was wrangle and figbt all tho way through, and one of the mildest.things that the North and South promised each other was assassination. ENOUGH OF STEIFE. During this summer I have traveled through New York, and Ohio, and Illinois, and Indiana, and Minnesota, and Kansas, and Nebraska, and Missouri, and Texas, and Louisiana, and Georgia, and North and South Carolina, and Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and I have shaken hands with tens of thousands of people, and talked with men of all sections and decrees, and I hare to tell you it is all peace, and in all the States of the Union you could not now marshal a military company of 100 soldiers to fight against tbe United States Government, unless you got your men out of the peniten tiary. Did tbe corrupt and gangrened political parties do this work of rectification and pacifi cation? IioI It was by Divine interposition that the crooked has been made straielit. On the 2d of December, 1851. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte rode down tbe Champs Elysee of Paris, and under the hoofs of bis horse a Re public was trampled, as the rider went to take a throne. It was the outrage of the century. For 19 long years the wrong triumphed. The will of one man who wanted to remain Em peror kept down a nation who wanted a Repub lic But September, 1S70, arrived, and Sedan unrolled its crimson scroll. The Emperor sur renders with 83,000 troop, 419 field guns, 6,000 horses and C0,000 muskets. From that day the ballot box was up and the throne was down. Free institutions have been substitnted for an infamous monarchy. Thank Gou! The crooked has been made straight But why go so far to find fulfillment of my text? In all our lives there are crooked things that need to be made straight, and each hearer or reader will enumerate for himself or herself. With one it is dilapttated physical health, and you are sajing: "Why cannot 1 be in good health when I have such opportunities and such responsibilities?" Alas lor the sick head aches aud tbe rheumatic joints, and the neu ralgic thrusts and the lame foot! But jou will be well soon. Life at the longest is an abbre viated durance. There is a black doctor that will cure you. Some people call him Death. No disease was ever able to Btantl before his touch. Usl all the means afforded for physical recuperation, but.lf they fail THE HOUE OF EELEASE is not far away. There need be no incurables. There is no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. Those who in this world have always been well will not get tbe best part of heaven. They will not bave the advantage of contrast. They were well belore they left this world, and why should they be so emulated at being-well in the next world? But to those who on earth were hin dered or broken down in health what a contrast as tbey step into that domain where there has never been an aching brow fr lame foot or in flamed muscle or disordered nerve! For 40 years there may bave been a stooping in tbe back, or a twisted muscle, or a curved spine, or a crooked limb, but tbe promise has been ful filled, "The crooked shall be made straight." In many a domestic life are difficulties to be removed. There are thousands of matches that were not made in heaven. Some of tbe loveliest women have been united to some of tbe meanest men, and some of tho grandest men to the most worthless women. There may be no sufficient cause of divorcement, but there has never been any accord. For them the wedding march ought never to have been played. The twain divergent in sentiment, the north pole and the south pole might just as well bave been married. A. twist of nettles would have been more appropriate than a gar land of orange blossoms. The unutterable mis take was made to please parents, or for the acquisition of estate, or for heightening of social position, or thorough thoughtlessness. I call the attention of such to tbe rapid dissolu tion of families. This thought, which is a sad ness to a happy marital state, might be consola tory to those unequally yoked. A very short path is tbe path of life. Tbe rolling years will give quick emancipation. Everybody, for dis cipline, must have some kind of trouble, and that is jour trouble. Pot in a song now and then to cheer your spirit. Make tbe best of things. Find in God that peace which no one else can bestow. The days and months and years are crowding past and THE LAST OF THE FBOCESSIOJT so far as you are concerned will soon bave gone by. Remember that some of tbe best men and women who ever lived have had tbe same lifetime misfortune. They bore np under it and so can you. Tbe expiration of tbe life of one of you will, after a while, remove the affliction. The crooked shall be made straight. In the ages of the world when people lived fire or six or eight or nine hundred years, inch con solation for any kind of trouble would bave bren inapt. It would have brought no relief to some ot .hose old patriarchs to say "yon will have only 700 years more of this." But life has been abbreviated by tbe cutting off of cen tury after century until we can console people, whether their trouble be financial or social or domestic by saving it will not be lone before tbe crooked shall be made straight. But to those who were once happily united on earth, but are now separated, the same thoncht comes, in a good cheer. Not longsepa rated! Tradition says that two bells were molded and sent from Spain for a distant land to chime in a church toner. But while in a storm at sea one of these bells was wrecked and only one reached tbe shoro and was hung in tbe church tower. And some people thought that, when standing on tbe land, they beard that bell ringing for worship or in a wedding peal, they could at the same time hear from tbe sea the lost bell ringing as if in response. Some of our friends and kindred have crossed the stormy sea and are in the tower of God on hitrh. Bnt we are still in tbe tempest, and some times the surges beat over us, but our soulsare still In accord with those who are gone, and they ring down to us and we ring np to them and there is a sympathy between ns that can never die. DIVINE HELF 'WILL COME. "Oh," says some one, "the crook in my lot you have not mentioned, and I sit clear outside of all tbe consolations you bave offered." Well, I wiU take after you with Gospel comfort and reach you before I close. Ijo you think your wound is so deep tho divine Surgeon cannot treat it? Have you a trouble that overmasters God? Is your annoyance of such a nature that you must suppress it? Ah, that is what is kill ing you. Trouble must be told or it stings to death the one who carries it. If thero it no man or woman that you can trust with tbe se cret, you can trust God. Hie away to Him. Tell Him all about it. Lock your door and tell Him aloud, and if you do not get relief you will bo the first soul in the 6.000 years of the world's existence, and the only one of tbe hundreds of millions of the human race who ever called on God for help and did not get It, In all tbe uni verse, in all eternity, there is not an exception. Stop brooding and commence praying. I bless my Gcd that, while there are so mrny crooked things in life, there are some things so straight God himself could not make them straighten Divine help comes straight to those who will have it. The angels of mercy fly straight when tbey undertake a rescue. The hour of your final deliverance marches straight out of tbe eternities. And as the carpenter puts down bis rule on a piece of timber, and with bis ax hews away until the last inequality and irregularity disappears, so when God in the last great day shall pnt down His unfailing measuring rule beside that event which seemed the most twisted in our lives or in tbe world, it will be found ont that the last discrepancy has vanished, and the last wrong has been righted, and the last crooked thing has been made straight. NEW .YORK STOCKS. Quiet nnd Heavy In Wnll Street Bears Hammer tbe List nil Alans; tbe Line Opening; Prices Got emlly Ike Highest. New York. September 20. The stock mar ket to-day was very quiet and heavy to weak from the opening to the close, with the result of leaving almost everything traded in lower than last evening. The strong tone which ex isted last 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 theti went In to take the market away from tbem, and, meet ing with practically no resistance, hammered the list all along tho line. The downward movement met with no check, and tbe opening prices are generally the highest of the dav, while tbe closing are tbe lowest The industrial stocks received most attention, but even Lackawanna was prominent for its losses.and these were followed by tbe Grangers. Missouri Pacific, however, was prominent for activity, but was remarkably well held and its final loss is only ys per cent. The trusts were early a fair mark for the operations ot the bears and from the first transactions tbey yielded, followed by St, Paul. It was not until the last hour that Lackawanna became prom inent, but declined rapidly and scored a ma terial loss before the close. The market finally closed fairly active and weak at tbe lowest figures, Chicago Gas beiug down ljj, Sngar Refineries 1, Lackawanna ls, and Burlington 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were quite active, the sales being 1495,000. but out of tnis amount Texas Pacific incomes furnished $106,000. There was very little move ment in the market and all tbe final changes are insignificant except a gain of 1 in Kansas and Texas general 6s to S2. Government boDds dull and steady. State bonds have been neglected. The following table snows tne prices or active stocks on the Mew York Stock .Exchange yester day.

Pittslinrg and Allegheny Tanners Adopt Lower Scale ON LIGHT HIDES AND CALFSKIN. Heavy Steer Hide Manage to Hold Their Own and No More.' TEADE FEATURES OP THE PAST WEEK Office of PrrrsBtnto Dispatch, 1 Saturday, September 20, 1890. t Hide nnd Calfskins Off, Light hides and calfskins have declined Join the week past, making a decline of 134c from the highest point reached in August Markets are very slow at the decline. One of our leading dealers reported on Saturday that Eastern buyers refused to take light hides at the decline. Hence, it looks as though the end was not yet reached in the downward movement. Heavy steer bides are weak, but unchanged. The tanners of Pittsburg and Allegheny recognizing the situation bave adonted the following scale of prices to go into effect Mon day. September 22. Green steer hides, trimmed, 75 pounds and np, 8 cents per pound, Oreen steer hides, trimmed, 60 to 75 pounds, 8 cents per pound. lireen steer hides, trimmed, under 60 pounds, 6 cents per pound. Ureen cow hides, trimmed, all weights, 6 cents Der pound. Green bull hides, trimmed, all weights, Scents per pound. Green steer hides, with one or. more grubs, cents per pound less. Green cow hides, with one or more grubs, 1 cents per pound less. Green bull hides, with one or more grubs, 1 cent per pound less. Green calfskins, 7 cents per pound for No. 1. Green calfskins, 5 cents per ponnd for No. 2. The drop in light hides is felt in the lines ot light leather. The general tone of markets in the lines of light leather shows weakness, with a tendency to lower prices. Harness leather has undergone no marked change. Harness makers are well stocked np for fall work, and the movement is not so aciivo as it was a few weeks ago. On tbe other band prices are well maintained. Tanners show no disposition to make concessions, knowing that tbeir products win, as heretofore, ce wanted in due time. Llfitat Cerenl Receipts. It will be seen by reference to domestic mar ket column, that receipts of grain and hay were 72 loads less this week than last, and 68 loads less than the' corresponding week of last year. The decline in receipts has no doubt been due in part to blockades on Western railroads, and correspondingly heavy supplies are looked for next week. Tbe cereal situation has varied very little since last Saturday as to prices. Oats are a shade stronger Flour jobbers report that lay down price of Iwur is such that at ruling rates there is little if any margin of profit left. The volnme of trade is larger than usual at this season of tbe year, Svhich some attribute to short crop and liich price of potatoes. One largo flour jobber reported that at North western sources of supply prices bad weakened slightly since the beginning of Ibe week, so that markets here are not likely to change ma terially from present outlook. In Produce Lines The feature of the week in dairy product has been anotber drop in creamery butter, making the decline about 3c per pound from the highest point reached a few weeks ago. There 'are two reasons for this: First, tbe im proved condition of pastures and the advent ofoleo brought about by high butter. At the reduced price movement has been more active and volume of trade shows an increase over last week. Tbe cool weather and near pros pect of frosts will, it is thought, send dairy products up to the price tbey declined from in a few days. In the past day or two there has been an improved tone to markets for apples and potatoes. The quality of recent supplies in these lines shows improvement and prices are better than at the beginning of tbe week. Tbe bulk of potatoes bandied by our commission men comes from New Jersey where tbe yield is reported large and fine. Missouri is tbe main source of supply for apples. Eastern fruit and Western vegetables have in a great measure failed this season, while in this section there is scarcity in both lines. Grapes alone in fruit lines appear to have held np tlii-i year and prices are as low as In the average season. Concord grapes were wholesaled to-day at 35 to 40c ner ten nonnrl basket. In the department of wholesale groceries the same actirity is reported by mer chants as for several weeks past, while staples have undergone no change in prices. There was a general expectation at the beginning of the week that sugar and coffee would be ad vanced. But tbe advance comes not, though prices are very firm. LIVE STOCK MaBKETS.

Locnl Stocks Lose Groom!, bnt a Rcnctlon Among the Probnbilhlc. As a result of tigbt money and general de moralization of the speculative markets, busi ness in local stocks during tbe week was of small proportions and almost without excep tion at a lower range of prices. Sales yester day were the largest of any day of tbo week, agcregating 323 shares. For the week there were 1,199, against less than 1,000 the previous week. But while thero was a gam in business tbe number of interests handled was smaller. Closing prices, as compared with those of the previous Saturday, show concessions all along tbe line, but as, in nearly all cases, they were for fractions, tbe declines signify nothing to the detriment of tbe properties. A few holders concluded to realize, and they found customers for tbeir stuff. That was all there was of it. There was no scare, and no fears of a panic Indeed, such a thing is almost impossible with snch securities as Pittsburc offers to the public Althouch prices closed at about the lowest point of tbe week, there was a better feeling than for some time, and tbe hope was again cherished that tbo worst was over and the dawn of better times near at hand. This was based upon easier money and returning con fidence in the East. Ail that Is needed to secure tbe frnltion of this bone is liberality on tbe part of bankers to the brokers, when they offer collateral "as good as wheat." Sales were 109 shares of PitUburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad at465 10 Luster at 24, 50 at 23. 30 at 23, 10 at 22, and 120 Philadelphia Gas at 29. ANn.PAKIC nOTJEES. Money nnd Bnslness Prrsent a Strong Front In Bnsy.Pitisbnrs. There was a better feeling among local bank ers Saturday over 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, 607 ner cent. No one feared any further tronble. Judging from the Clearing House report, which represents actual business, not guesses, things were lively in trade circles during the week. Bank exchanges were 815,810,282 06, against 812,243,180 93 tbe same week last year, showing a gain of 83,567,101 13. The gain this year to date over 1889 is 8110,000,000. The proof of tbe pudding is eating it. Croak ers should study these figures and change, tteir tune, or hang themselves. Such large gains over a year remarkable for activity compels the conclusion that Pittsburg is not only prosper ous beyond precedent, but is expanding her activities at a rate which will soon place her beyond rivalry or competition.

Prospects for n Else Not Very Pleasing All Quiet on tho Wharf. A further fall in both rivers occurred yester day, and the prospects for a rise shortly are not very pleasing.

Tha mucus that dropped into my throat' Mr. E. H. Price. caused me to be almost continually spitting. The disease finally reached my lungs, I felt a weight In my chest as if my lungs were stopped up. My breath became short and finally a vio lent cough set in, which increased until I cougbed day and night. X had eructations ot gas from my stomach, and I had a tired reel ing, but more so on getting up in the morning As I read in the papers statements from patients who bad been cured by the'eatarrh specialists at 323 Penn avenue of conditions similar to mine I took a course of tbeir treat ment and became completely cured.
