Difference Between Pittsburg and Leading Cities of the West. MANY STRINGS TO HER L0KG BOW. Better Feeling in Local Speculative and Financial Circles, TOE NEWS AND G0SSH OF THE CITY. One of the traveling representatives of G. M. Hopkins, the atlas maker, is a great ad mirer of Pittsburg. In the course of an in terview yesterday, he said: "Of all the cities visited by me in the course of my business, none approaches Pittsbnrg for prosperity and solid values. In Chicago, Kansas City, St.' Paul and Minneapolis, for instance, althongh tbey handle an enormous volume of trade, the volumes of real estate are out of proportion to growth and legiti mate demand. Where one parcel of land is bought for improvement, ten nre bought for speculation. The result of this is tbey are all oversold, and some of tbem are overbuilt that is, there are more houses than occupants; whereas, the very opposite appears to be the case in Pittsburg. - "The reason for this state of affairs in the cities mentioned, and others which I might name, is that they depend upon one or two sonrces for their lubricating material; while Pittsburg has such a variety of interests, all of a prodnctive character, that it Is impossible for tbc failure of one of them, or a number of them for that matter, to seriously affect ber pros perity. I regard Pittsburg as the. corner stone, sure and steadfast, of the industrial system of America." ... Onenfthe Rie tet. Tho monster redwood tree which will be placed on exhibition at the World's Fair. Chi cago, has arrived in San Francisco from Flacer ville. Three flat cars were used to haul the tree, which weighs about 70,000 pounds. Prior to being shipped to Chicago, it will be placed on exhibition. Tbe section of the tree was cnt from a giant. 312 feet in height. The shipment consists of 16 sections, and when put in shape will form a ball capable of seating 100 people. Two hundred and fifty electric lights will be used to illuminate the tree, inside and out, ... Bn.tnena News and Gossip. The Masonry for the Neville Island bridge Is completed, and work on the snperstruction begun. All the matenal is on the ground. Mr. W. H. Devore has lust completed a hand some dwelling on Franklin street, Wllkinsburg. He will soon break ground for eight others in tbe same locality. Tbe Allegheny Valley Railroad Company has purchased, through Charles Somers Jc Co., a lot on Butler street, Morningside station, to which the station honse will be removed and new steps built.

NEW YOKE STOCKS, f ) Benr Agnln Cry Scarcity of Monoy No Anxtctr SJiown by Bayers tor Stick ' Considerable Pressure Brought to Bear la, tho Morning. J New York, September 22. Notwithstanding the heavy outpouring of funds from the Treas ury Into the New York banks last week, the gain in reserve as shown by Saturday's average was so small that the bears were given afnother opportunity to cry about the scarcity ofmoney. While borrowers had no trouble In obtaining accommodations at from 4 to per cent, there Was a marked lack of anxiety to buy stocks, al though there was no apprehensionbut what the supply of funds would be ample,' for weeks to come. 7 This long-continued apathy of bnyers, which has been tbe principal encouragement of tbe bearish attacks for months, again led to the bringing of considerable pressure' this morning npon the stocks which have beenleaders in the market in point ot activity of late. The bears have ceased to cover shorts, and' the traders for the time being take the short side, and, as usual, buying is checked. To-day the grangers, and especially St. Paul, were made again prominent , In the efforts to get prices down, the new issue of stock to pay for the Milwaukee and Northern, while the recent denial of a motion by the trust was used against Chicago gaj with some, effect. There Were material loRSAb In thA firnnnnn at. tending to 2 per cent, but In the afternoon these losses were increased, notwithstanding some Ineffectual efforts to raiw the market. North American which seems to have no support whatever, was then the special objeot of at tack, and, before Its lowest point was reaohed over 4 per cent bad Veen lopped oil Its value. Tbe rest of the list sympathized and the lowest prices of the.day were reached in tbe last hour. The weakness in tbe malket seems to come principally from the disappointment on tbe part of some holders of stocks who expected a boom wonld follow Immediately after money became easv. The bears, however, are vnrv already large It is estimated that fully I40,: auuro ana areauuinc to ineir unes or snorts. "4.J ' 'WV- SEPTEMBER' '23; 000.000 of money is now in the hands of In vestors as the result of their sales of bonds to the Government. The close was quiet, but weak, at about the lowest orices of the day, and North American Is down 4, Union Pacific T Rock Island 2, Northern Pacific preferred 1, Waoash preferred and Wheeling and Lake Erie each 1, St. Paul, Louisville and Nash ville and Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred each lJi, Chicago Gas V. and Atchison 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were again dull, the sale of all Issues reaching only 8607,000, and while there is considerable animation in Texas Pacific incomes no issue showed any marked activity. The tone was heavy, but no material losses occurred. Government bonds have been dnll and heavy, state bonds have been dull and without feature. The Post says: One of the arguments for selling tbe Grangers nowis that the new south western combination of the Atchison, Missouri Pacific, and other roads, together with the steamship lines is antagonistic to the other Granger roads, and especially to the North western and Union Pacific alliance; that this will lead to rate wars between the two combina tions and independent roads, like the Chicago and Alton, Rock Island, St Paul, Burlington, will get the effects of tbe fight on both sides. It seems, however, inevitable that the four Independent roads above mentioned will be compelled to either enter into a combination among themselves or fail into tbe control of one or tbe other ot the allied roads. In either case it will be Ian important step toward the settlement of tbe troubles of the Granger roads bv some sort of contract for operating them Jointly, though not necessarily by any consolidation of their stocks.

Business Resumed With Vigor Tbe Der at Plonting Lumber Kenrlr Past Jast a Ivtlle Lire Left In the Easiness on the Allegheny River. After a quiet of three days business was re sumed yesterday with tbe same vigor that marked the opening of fall trade. Not much coal is expected to-be shipped on tbe next rise, owing to the scarcity of miners in every poOL Very few firms are running their mines at full blast, and the shipment will be consequently very light. Cincinnati prices have steadied somewhat, and It is likely that the present prices will be the ruling fignJes for some months. Five feet and one inch tells how fast tbe river fell during the 24 hours. Tbe Ohio had a like drop. Rlvermen do not believe tbat it will go low enough to impede navigation. Rain is expected in a few days. A storm now raging in the Southwest is heading this way, and Pittsburg will likely come in for the worst of it. "The day of floating lumber down the Alle gheny Is past." said a well'knpwn lumber dealer yesterday. "Thore was a time when large rafts of lumber came down tbat river, but It has steadily fallen off. until now scarcely any at all comes that way. In tbe first place, tbe timber close to the banks of tbe stream is nearly all cleared away; then all the valuable lumber that does come down tbe river is shipped in coal bottoms. There are a few rafts of hemlock and such cheap lumber once in a while, bnt not often." A visit np stream a few miles wonld seem to disprove tbe above statement. A person not in .position to know would say that the raft-float- ing business was in its prime, nut, nevertneiess, it is fast, falling off, and in a few years it will be a thing of the past. Barge bottoms are shipped mostly from points on the Allegheny. Driftwood. The Ben Hur, from Parkershnrg, arrived and left again yesterday afternoon. ALAKGSparty of prominent society leaders of thlscltv has made arrangements with Captain Henderson for a round trip on one of the boats tbls week. THE Keyestone State made np considerable of ber lost time, yesterday, and arrlvea at o'ciocx. with a miscellaneous tow. She departed with a large consignment of glass. - The Monongahela dredge boat No. 3 went down near Wheeling last night, where operations will 'be commenced dredging for piers for a bridge to span the Ohio near that point. Tnx Andes, from- Cincinnati, is due here this artarnoon, some time. She has a big crowd of Exposition visitors. Fogs have detained her and it mav be midnight before she pushes in t the wharf. THE Frank Gilmore arrived from Cincinnati with a tow or empties. While- en route she met with several accidents which will lay ber up for a few days. 'Hie tow was left at the landing, and she proceeded to McKeesport to go on the ways. "S S: S.

Price, a well-known resident of Lawrenceville, who lives on Forty-six-and-a-Half street, and is in the employ of the Sheffler Bridge Company. "I caught a severe cold and from tbat time m catarrhal symptoms manifested themselves. My head and nose would be so filled with mu cus that I was compelled to breathe through my mouth and my nose wonld often fet sore. 1 had pain over my eyes, lzziness and noises in my ears. Tbe mucus that dropped - into my throat caused me to be almost continually spitting. Tbe disease finally reached my lungs, I felt a weight in my cbest as if my lungs were stopped up. My breath became short and finally a vio lent cbngbr set fn, -which increased 'until I coughed day and night. I bad eructations of gas from my stomach, and I bad a tired feel ing, but more so on getting up in the morning As I read in tbe papers statements from patients who had been enred by tbe catarrh specialists at 823 Penn avenue of conditions similar to mine I tookaconrse of their treat ment and became completely cured. It is now some time since I took their medicine and my cure has remained permanent- I shall bo glad to further describe my case to anvonewbo suffers as I have done. E. II. Price."
