THE EICHAK6B BUILDING I1AKG3 FIEB
The bulls and bears of New Xort and
Chicago had a monkey and parrot time of it
last week. Money was manipulated bo suc
cessfully that holders of stocks were unable
to keep up their margins, and unloaded so
rapidly as to glut the market and slaughter
prices. Values did not suffer; it was only
the water that vanished.
The trouble began on Monday, and had al
most run its course, a good part of the losses
having been recovered, when, yesterday, an
other sensation was caused by news from
London that the Barings would go into
liquidation, and Wall street was thrown
into another spasm ot excitement. When it
was learned that the London trouble was
not a failure a steadier feeling soon developed,
attended, by some recovery in prices.
Pittsburg securities were lower during the
week in sympathy, but they, too, rallied, and
at the close of business yesterdav had regained
nearly all the lost ground. Tbe flurry was,
perhaps, the best thing that could have hap
pened. It had been impending for some time,
and the bursting of tho cloud may clear the
financial skies. Legitimate business was
scarcely touched. Clearing House figures,
given elsewhere, show that so far as Pittsburg
was concerned the week was one of the best of
the year.
Not Up to tho Mark.
It was nobodys fault that a batch of panicky
news came on the day set for the sale of tbe
Exchange building, but the conjunction was
unfortunate, as it no doubt prevented a deal.
According to previous notice, the building
was put under the hammer yesterday. There
was a large crowd in attendance. The first bid
wai $90,000, or $2,000 a foot The next was
$100,000. and the next $125,000. Then, after a
short pause, it was increased to $130,000 and
then to 140,000. Another short breathing
spell ensued, and then followed the best bid of
the day, $115,000. This being $5,000 below tbe
limit, and there being no prospect of raising it,
tho sale was adjourned.
The sale failed to attract as many capitalists
as had been expected, but as they were well
represented by real estate agents, many of
whom were present, their abseuce.il is thought,
made no difference. Some curiosity was ex
pressed to find a reason for the non-appear-anco
of the gentleman who, as reported all
along, had for months had a standing bid of
$150,000 ready to launch forth at the first op
portunity. East End Realty.
Business property in tbe East End has scored
a big advance In prices in the last five years,
and the demand for it is steadily widening and
taking in a greater scope. Several sales made
quite recently show clearly that buyers think
well of the business advantages possessed by
this part of the city. One of these involved the
property on tho northeast corner of Franks
town avenue and Station street, lot 30x100 feet,
which brought S14.000. A lot 61x190, in the
same locality, was picked up at a price approxi
mating $23,000. The other transactions re.
f erred to were of less importance from a finan
cial point of view, but equally significant as
showing an active demand for tbe kind of
property in question at good round figures.
Homes for the People.
Rapid transit has come to be the most im
portant factor in the development of the sub
urban districts and tho founding of country
houses. It has rendered thousands of acres ac
cessible to the industrial classes which a few
years ago were practically worthless because of
their isolation from the business centers. As
the system of rapid transit is developed the
movement of population toward the suburbs
will increase, until in a few years they will be
thickly built up. There is no reasonable doubt
that this will be tbe outcome. With such a
prospect few. If any, will deny that real estate
in any of the surrounding districts is a good
purchase at present prices.
Tbe Cost of Water.
W. B. Bull, Superintendent of the Quincy,
IrL, water works, furnishes the followingtable,
taken from the Erie, Pa., water works report.
It gives tbe cost of water to the average house
holder In 25 cities, complied from official re
ports: Allegheny City, $21 60; Boston, $37 25;
Buffalo, $25 60; Chicago, $21 75; Columbus, O.,
$32 80; Dayton, O., $45 SO; Detroit, $23 25;
Erie, Pa.. $21 75: East Saginaw, Mich.,
$26 DO; Fall River, Mass., $31; Grand
Rapids, Mich,, $32; Indianapolis, $32;
Lawrence, Mass., $25 80; Milwaukee, $22;
Minneapolis. $23; Newark. N. J., $26 25; New
York City. $32 75; Omaha, Neb., $30; Philadel
phia, $2b 75; Pittsburg. $23 60; Sandnsky. O.,
$25 50; St. Paul, $21 60: Syracuse, $31 75; Toledo.
$28 60; Utlca, N. Y-, $31 50. It appears from the
above statement that 23 63 per annum is the
average price paid for water by the house
holder circumstanced as above in tho United
States, if tbe above 25 cities afford a fair basis
from which to construct an average.

Business News and Gossip.
There was considerable talk on Fourth ave
nne yesterday afternosn in regard to the em
barrassment of the Barings, but as it was not a
failure, and as nobody would lose anything by
it, the conclusion reached was that the excite
ment over it would soon subside. All concurred
in saying that Pittsburg would not be affected
beyond, perhaps, making financiers more cau
tions in extending loans.

D0WH AlfD TIP.
Stocks Given a Number of Sensational
Twists During the Week.
The past week witnesoed quite a flurry in
New York, and to some extent in Pittsburg.
Realizing assumed the proportions of a craze,
and cheap stuff was to be found everywhere.
The slump was due to tight money at the
speculative centers.
Tbe storm broke on Monday, causing a de
cline all ronnd. On Tuesday tbe disturbance
was at its height and values vanished like dis
solving views. On Wednesday there were
symptoms of a reaction, which became quite
manifest tho following day. The recovery was
as rapid and pronounced as the break, and the
opinion was very generally entertained that
everything was on its feat again. Yesterday,
however, advices from London ot the embar
rassment of the great house of Barings, with
connections in New York, gave Wall street
another twist and stocks again went off, rally

Nothing 'Wrong With the Money Market
Business in Good Shape.
In spite' of the upheaval in Wall street and
financial troubles abroad, Pittsburg held the
fort last week, coming out with a splendid
record and nothing in sight to cause appre
hensions for the future. There is more than
usual significance in this. It shows clearly that
legitimate interests and values are beyond the
reach of panics.
The Clearing House report is a very satisfac
tory document. It shows that bank clearings
for tbe week were nearly $3,000,000 greater than
for the corresponding time last year, and more
than $1,000,000 in excess of those for the previous
week. Tbo gain over 18S9 to date is $157,760,
699 75. In detail the report shons:

The present position and prospects of tho
petroleum Industry of Russia are discussed at
some length by tbe British Consul at Batoum
in his last report. Although the aggregate
quantity and value of tbe petroleum trade for
the last year considerably surpass those of
any of the preceding years, and show an in
crease of 26 percent in quantity and 37 per
cent in value as compared with 1SSS, the busi
ness was less satisfactory on the score of profit.
The commercial community, as a body, has
not been able to realize profits in any way pro
portional to the expansion of business. Dur
inc the year one of tho best established and
best organized firms at Batoum found it profit
able to liquidate; others have formed a syndi
cate so as to be able to withstand tbe pressure
of competition, and not a few are simply con
tinuing busincssm the hope of a better future.
Competition, no doubt, is the main cause of

Baring Brothers' Tronbles Have a Tre
mendous Effect on Stocks An Im
provement Toward the Close,
but Losses Are Not
Made Good.
New Yoke, November 15. The stock mar
ket to-day for the two hours' session was tbo
liveliest we have had since the great slump of
December 15, 18S6, and for an hour or more
there existed a perfect panic among the holders
of securities, especially railroad stocks, and
the declines established during that time were
greater than ever before seen in the same time.
The only cause of the excitement was the
announcement from London that the great
firm of Baring Brothers had been forced
to seek assistance to tide them
over the present financial crisis, and the hold
ers of stocks became panic-stricken over the
news, without reflecting that the danger had
really already passed when the Bank of En
gland and the Rothschilds came to the rescue.
Reflection, however, is the last thing a man
thinks of when his pocketbook is in danger,
and everyone went in to save as much out of
the wreck as possible by selling out in the
qnickest time.
Tbe early advices from London were reassur
ing? and the crisis was represented as over
there, and, continning the improvement begun
yesterday, first prices were generally fraction
ally higher than yesterday's figures, with
Northern Pacific preferred np 2 per cent to
69. The announcement about the Barings
was thrown at the market immediately, how
ever, and the good feeling disappeared In an
Instant, and from prospective buyers tho
whole room became sellers at tbe best prices
obtainable. The force of the decline may be
gathered from tbe fact that in an hour Lacka
wanna had dropped away 9 per cent to 123?;
Jersey Central. 7K to 9S; Atchison, 6 to 2;
Pullman, 6 to 175; Canada Southern, b to 42;
Burlington, 1Y3 to 80: Rock Island, 5i to 63,
and the other leading stocks from a to 6 per
cent.
The drop in Lackawanna is entirely Inex
plicable upon any known hypothesis, but the
selling of Atchison was based upon the fear
that the holdings of the Barings would In all
probability have to be liquidated. The other
stocks were sold merely upon the Impulse of
the scare. The drop, however, soon brought
into the market the class of buyers who are
paying outright for their securities, and the
current was soon turned by this support, when
the bears joined in the buying to realize tbe
profits accrued npon tbe tremendous drop.
Tbe early selling soon developed the fact that
there were large selling orders in the market,
and tbe trading and professional element soon
took the market away from the sellers and In
numerable stop orders were quickly uncovered,
rendering the stampede more serious every
minute.
After the downward movement was checked
the bank statement was issued showing a
material gain in the surplus reserve, and tho
growing strength of the hanks leaves no
further feeling of apprehension among Wall
street houses, and the general Impression is
that as soon as London becomes really quiet
tbere will be no disturbing influence found
here. Some investment bouses nowreporttbat
they have more orders for tbe purchase of
securities than they can fill, and these pur
chases are all for Investors who take the securi
ties away from tbe street.
Tbe rally wbioh obtained in the last hour ex
tended to 4 per cent and over in some of the
most pronounced cases, but the upward move
ment was insufficient to make up anything like
the losses incurred, and an extremely feverish
and unsettled condition marked the trading
throughout. The close was very active and
Btrongforthe moment at material losses for
the day. Tbere is talk of a meeting of influen
tial bankers and capitalists to consider the sit
uation over Sunday and come to some conclu
sion as to what can be done to allay the excite
ment and apprenension prevalent on tne street.
The final losses are very material, and Lack a
wanna is off l Jersey Central, 1.5; Rock
Island, 4; Missouri Pacific, $; Atchison and
Chicago Gas, each S: Burlington, 2; Cleve

Railroad bonds were active, but showed none
of the excitement or animation of stocks, and
while the sales of all issues reached $1,481,000,
the final changes of note were comparatively
few. The active issues comprised Atchison in
comes, with $191,000: Northern Pacific 5s, with
$178,000; Texas Pacific 2s. $154,000. and the Kan
sas and Texas is, with $126,000. Prices to-night
are naturally lower, and Atchison incomes lost
2 at 48. and Wabash 2s 2 at 70.
Tho exports of specie from the port of New
York last week amounted to $744,026, of which
$102,676 was gold and $641,850 silver. The Im
ports of specie during tbe week amounted to
$293 912, of which $63,716 was gold and $225,196
Silver.
The .Poj J says: Of course great lots of long
stocks were poured ont, but there was no re
covering of shorts, and the outstanding short
interest is now so large that, with any tnrn of
the market, it will prove an important factor In
an advance.

An Bzclting Bay in the Chicago Wheat Pit
The Longs to Unload, Resulting
In a Tremendous Slaughter
of Values.
CHICAGO The wheat market exhibited all
the symptoms of a true case of panic before
trading had been in progress over an hour to
day, but the spasms, tbough violent, were not of
long continuance, and during the last hour
there was a recovery of nearly 2o from the
lowest prices of tbe day, with tbe closing figures
showing a decline since yesterday of c in De
cember and s in May. Corn and oats were
dragged down, while wheat appeared to be in
the throes of dissolution, but came np again
like corks when the weight of tbe wheat panic
lifted, and each closed with moderate gains.
Provisions were dull, and, while averaging
lower, closed with very little loss since yester
day. The wheat market, while tho complicity at
tending upon tbe financial situation as it ap
peared to be for about 15 minutes near the open
ing, gave some symptoms of returning confi
dence among the local speculators. In fact,
quito a general feeling that tbe end of the de
cline bad already taken place was apparent,
some of the leading commission men so ex
pressing themselves. How far these opinions
were from ganging the probabilities of the
day's fluctuations the after course of the
market has been witness. The price of Decem
ber wheat started at OlJc with the pressure
coming principally from the selling side, and
it qnickly declined to 94c For a short time
the fluctuations played nervously around 94c,
touching 93c. and selling sparingly at 94c in
the course of its several changes.
The trading during the time referred to was
not very heavy, and in tbe lulls which took
place tbe tendency appeared to oe in tne direc
tion of firmness. It was observed, however, by
the students of the blackboards in stock offices
that securities were again breaking in New
York, and upon this bint the nimble runners in
tbo wheat pit commenced to unload, and in a
few minutes a decline in December to 93c
took place. Tbere was only a momentary rest
at tbe figures named, when it was followed by
a further drop to 92Jc There was a had and
exciting struggle lasting two or three minutes
before tbe pressure ot the offerings could over
come tbe buying which such a profitable de
cline brought in favor of the shorts, butit was
overcome in the end, and then ensued one of
those periods of wild delirium which occur per
haps at intervals of a year or two in tbe wheat
pit. Buyers were wanted, bnt they; would
make a move, and for a time tbe competition in
underbidding to secure a buyer was such as
knocked prices from under so rapidly that it
was Impossible to execute hundreds of orders
at the limits of the exhausted margins.
The decline was not arrested until December
was selling anywhere from 90c to 91c and
May at 9898c The report of the financial
embarrassment of Baring Bros., of Loudon, was
the cause of the wild stampede. The reaction
from the lowest prices of the day was not indic
ative of any very great accession of confidence,
bnt tbe market during tbe last hour ot trading
was free from tbe panicky feeling which had
previously characterized It. The prices of
December held around 92c and 93c for a con
siderable time, and May 81, and the resting
figures were 93c for December and 100c for
Mav. .
Tbe stocks of corn are so small and the re
ceipts to-day and those promised for Monday
were so light that holders were very firm, and
the shorts, though very aggressive, had hard
work to cause a break of c, even when wheat
was dropping about at that rate per minute.
Tbe opening was firmer than tbe previous day's
closing, and May was e higher. There was a
further advance of He before the reactionary
movement set in, during which latter period
the price broke lc from the top, bnt recov
ered c of this immediately after, and during
the remainder of the session the price was
maintained at some improvement over yester
day's closing quotations.
Oats were active but weaker and lower early
in the day, owing to tbe weakness and decline
in wheat and corn and free selling by longs.
Prices for May declined IJc from yesterday's
close and touched 42c Later in tbe day a
firmer feeling gradually developed and prices
advanced lc and the market closed steady at
full outside figures and at a fair gain on yester
day. Pork Rather active at Irregular prices.
Opening sales were made at about the closing
figures of Friday and a reduction of 5c was
quickly submitted to. Later, prices rallied 7K
(JlOc, but more pressure to sell caused a weak
feeling and prices receded 17K20c Toward
tbe close prices rallied 710o and closed
quiet.
Lard Trading was moderately active. Prices
declined SS'Kc ana closed steady at outside
figuros.
Short Rib Sides A fairly active business was
transacted. Prices ruled 25c lower and
closed steady at outside figures.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

T. TJ. This "Winter.
Mrs. B. L. Dudley will entertain the
members , of the Wilkinsburg Young
"Women's Christian Temperance Union at
her home on Hill street to-morrow evening.
An interesting programme has been pre
pared, Mrs. Dudley believing that it is
better to know beforehand what will be
done than to leave everything to chance.
Mrs. Bobert Bussell is down for a piano
solo, followed by a recitation in German by
Prof. W. H. "Weber. Then Miss Lorena
Core will sing a ballad and Miss Mollie
Gibson will read a selection. Miss May
Hoffman is to render a solo and Messrs.
Crawford and Kochenderfer a duet npon the
piano, while Mrs. Dudley will contribute a
recitation as her share of the entertainment.
The X. "W. C. T. TJ. is having a good
time this winter, believing that the best
way to awaken an interest in the cause for
which they are working is to render their
gatherings attractive. Other social meetings
will be held throughout the season.
A UXTBJJKBOUS FAMILY.
An Old Man's Story Belatlve to His Daugh
ter's Death.
Mitchell, Ind., November 15. The
Eubanks murder case is being cleared up.
Old man Eubanks has made a confession
which throws the blame on his son Bee. He
says that on Sunday night, during a quarrel
between hi3 son aud daughter, Bee seized a
club and commenced beating the girl over
the head. The father made an attempt to
stop him, but, owing to his age and feeble
ness, was unable to do so.
He made no attempt to ascertain the ex
tent ot his daughter's injuries, but went to
bed, leaving her all night on the floor. This
places him in a bad light, and it is thought
will convict both father and son.

Chattanooga, November 15. Feet

young man named Teague at a box and
basket factory in the suburbs of Sherman

He went into it up to his shoulders, and
when taken ont was parboiled, his leet being
literally cooked, on account of delay in re

THE SOUTHsTdE AGAIN.
Mr. John T. Good, who lives at Ho. 129
Nineteenth street, Soutbside, is a window
glass blower, employed in the Cunningham
Window Glas3 Co., Limited, on Twenty
third street. la a recent interview with tha
writer Mr. Good told the following story ot
his own experience:
'Tor about four years," says Mr. Good,
"ever since I recovered from an attack of
diphtheria, I had suffered almost constantly
from catarrh. My head and nose would
stop up. I had a continuous dull pain over
my eyes and a rambling, roaring noisa ia
my ears. My eyes were weak and watery.
I could feel the mucous dropping back into
my throat and was always hawking and
raising to clear it. My throat would fill up
at night and I would wake up gasping for
breath, as if I were choking to death. My
throat was raw and inflamed.
Mr. John T. Good, 123 Nineteenth Street, South'
tide, fUtsburg. -Pa.
'As my trouble grew worse, snarp palnslIEa
the stab of a knife would take me in the chest.
Palpitation of the heirt set in. My appetite
failed. The little I ate caused me distress and
nausea at my stomach. My nights were rest
less. I would get np in the morning more tired
than when I went to bed. A short time ago,
after reading so mnch of Drs. Copeland A Blair
and their wonderful success in cases similar to
mine, I called on them, and finding their
charges so very low I decided to begin their
treatment at once.
"I never made a better resolution." concluded
ilr. Good, "for they have really done wonders
for me. My symptoms all rapidly disappeared,
and to-day I am like a different man entirely."
Drs. Copeland & Blair have their own labora
tory and their own pharmacist, whose whola
time is devoted to preparing the medicines for
their many patients. Every prescription la
compounded under the direct supervision of
the doctors themselves, which accounts to a
certain extent for tbe invariable positive re
sults of their treatment. To each and every
patient under their care Drs. Copeland S Blair
furnish all medicines tree of charge.
Drs. Copeland & Blair are resDonsible to von
for what tbey represent, and are at all times
prepared to uphold their every assertion. They
court honest, sincero investigation, have no se
crets and are only too glad to show aU interest
ed and candid people what they are doing for
suffering humanity.
