A Landmark Down Town Quietly Ticked Up at a Good Bound Figure. DEALS AT W1LKINSBDRQ AND WALLS Perhaps never before in the history of the country has legitimate business sustained severer assaults than during the past three or four weeks. London, New York and Philadelphia combined to produce a panic, but the result wiis a conspicuous failure out side of speculative circles. The great activ ities of the country have emerged from the ordeal practically unscathed. "What more is needed to show that business is on a sound footing? Caution is all that is necessary to carry the country safely through the remain ing weeks ot tbu year. The disposition, of banks and business men to help each other is a source of encourage ment to all, and has a great deal to do with bringing about tbe restoration of confidence, which is appreciated on all sides. A Landmark Gobbled. Messrs. J, & C. McCune, 90 Water strcet,bave Just closed a deal whereby they became possessed of one of the most valuable business sites In the lower part of the city. They bought from the J. C. Rif.her estate the property on the corner of First and Ferry streets, lot 60x160, with seveial old buildings, for 40,000. It is tbeir Intention to tear these down when tbe lease expires nei:t April and erect in their stead a five or six-story business block, to com bine all modern conveniences. This property is among the best known In tbe city. It is a landmark. The principal building has been used as a hotel for many years, and was a popular resort for rivermen in the old steamboating days. It was here that "Oyster Paddy" achieved considerable prominence a tew years ago. This deal, it is thought, will give realty in that part of the city a forward impulse, and lead to other needed improve ments. A WUklnsburg Deal. Property in Wilkinsburg Is looking up. W. E. Hamnett sold yesterday a lot 22x110, on tbe northeast corner of Penn avenue and Wood street, for James Horner for 53,630, or $1C3 a foot front. This is tbe highest price ever real ized for property in the borough, and shows the high estimation in which it is held by in vestors. Tho purchaser, Mr. A. Patton, a prominent Crawford county merchant, will erect a fine business house on the lot at once. m w A Lively Place. A very few years ago Walls station was one of the dullest places around Pittsburg. Now it is one of the liveliest. Its growth almost parallels that of Jonah's gourd. Baxter, Thompson & Co, and Gay & Bair, of Greens burg, have sold 173 lots at Walls since October 15. Contracts have been let for 27 dwellings, all by purchasers of lots, and plans are under way for 12 more. All of these houses are to be completed early next spring. It is nrobable that nearly all of the lot6 sold will be built on next year. Several business honses are talked of. Twenty-ISoven New Homes. A gentleman connected with one of the lead ing wholesale drygoods stores proposes to do his duty in tbe matter of building houses. He has purchased from C. T. Beeckman 7 lots in the Park View plan, Fourteenth ward, at a price approximating 215,000, and will erect a dwelling on each of thein. They will be small, but neat and comfortable, and will bo rented at a reasonable figure. Ibis is a step in the right direction. The best way to kaep panics away from Pittsburg is to give bbsluess and population a chance to ex- Eand. Twenty-seven houses stand for 27 omes. If everyone who is able would follow the example of the gentleman In question tbe supply of housos would soon bear a respectable relation to tbe demand. Confidence in Real Estate. Here is encouragement for sellers and buy ers of real estate. It shows that there is more going on than some people think. In an inter View yesterday Mr. W. C. Stewart said: "I have had many inquiries lately for large bodies of coal land. Several persons who have for a year or so been heavy investors In stocks and bonds have within a day or two asked me to keep my eye open for tood real estate investments, as they intended to change from stocks and bonds to lands and houses." Ignorant of the Panic "What do you think of tho panic?" was the question put to a leading business man yester day. "Has there been a panic?" queried he, in af fected surprise. "Yes." "Did it hurt anybodyr "Yes. There were a few failures." "And so there was a panic, and I didn't know it Well, I declare, I am glad you told me, or I might not have known of it. You see I attend so closely to my business that 1 have no time to attend to such things. A panic and I didn't know it. How strange." While this is in pleasant vein and should be read between tbe lines, it serves to show the Importance of sticking closely to one's busi ness. Dullness News and Gossip. The best way to head off a panic Is to tackle It in advance, and this is being very generally done. Dr. Blumeberg is excavating for four or five nice brick dwellings on Thirty-third street and Madison avenue, near tbe Central Traction car station, Thirteenth ward. All the news from the East yesterday was of an encouraging character. Wall street finds that it can get along without special Govern ment aid. This is a distinct gain to tbe country. Ten or 31 mortgages on file yesterday were for purchase money. Tbe largest was for f 0,000. The prouintness with which mortgages are being satufied shows that money is well dis tributed among the people. Baxter, Thompson & Co. Ground will be broken iu a very short tinio for 20 two-story brick dwellings on Trenton and Wooster streets. Eleventh ward. Knhn Bros, bought 15 shares of Luster Min ing Company stock at '23. Negotiations are pending for 1'J feet on Second avenue, above Smithfield street, at something over S20.000. Some quiet real estate deals aro being made in McKeesport, by which valuable properties adjoining the W. Dewees Wood plant are pass ing into the hands of well-known brokers. Tbe property, it is reliably stated, is intended for tbe Woods Company. People at the Point feel easier since learning that they are not to be summarily evicted. Mr. Heluian, an Iron broker, has purchased a fine residence on Margaretta street, Nineteenth ward, for 12,500. He wiU move into it in the spring. The Building Record. During the past week 39 permits were issued, representing 59 buildings, 29 brick, 29 frame and one iron. The total cost of all is figured at 579,905. The Eleventh and Thirteenth wards led with nine each, followed by tbe Nlnteenth with six. The number of permits issued the previous week was 31, representing 37 buildings.

Stocks Depressed by tho Eastern Flurry, but ITlnvfilnn llApnn.mllrfi PnWHf. Local stocks bad a hard road to travel last week, and some of them showed signs of ex haustion. Nearly everything on the active list was shaded off. Support was found for the leaders, however, at the most critical period. This prevented any bad breaks. Gradually It dawned upon investors and brokers that the scare was more imaginary than real, and a reaction set in which held un til the close, which was large tractions to points better than the lowest.

The banks were well supplied with funds, but their habitual con servative policy caused them to tighten the lines to protect their customers. All persons entitled to credit got all thev wanted, but out siders were barred out. The feeling was a little easier at the close of business yesterday. If there was a panic the Clearing House re port doesn't show it.

Bank Statement Shows a Small Margin on the Bight Side, and AU Stocks bat Two Advance Causes of the Biso. NetvYohk, November 22. The stock mar ket to-day was still very active and decidedly strong throughout tho session, the opening prices as a rule being tbe lowest of the day, while the final are either at or near the highest. The buying to-day was even more pronounced than that of yesterday, and tho feature was a heavy demand from brokers lndentified with the leading bear operator. Among the strong stocks maybe mentioned Manhattan, Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred. Union Pacific and Rock Island, but the advance extended all along the line, and the final gains are propor tionately larger than those of yesterday. The bank statement showed only a slight change in the surplus revenue, but itwas on the right side, and tbe banks are once more above tbe requirements of the 25 per cent rule, al though tbe surplus is only a tew thousands. The large decrease In tbe loans, amounting to nearly 56,000,000, was regarded as encouraging, as it reflects the purchases of securities which have been paid forontright and taken from tbe street. There was some selling by arbitrage brokers, and also some talking of profits by tbe traders, who say that the advance bas been too rapid to last, but the demand was so urgent tha there was no Interruption to the npward movement, and only one or two weak spots in the entire list. North American was one, and the other VIHard stock hesitated in sympathy. The market opened with a continuance of tbe activity and strength of yesterday and the open ing advances were generally forlarge fractions, while Missouri Pacific and Canada Southern each were 1 per cont higher. Great activity marked the dealings during tbe first hour and the upward movement was very pronounced, the whole list, with the exception of the Vil lards and one or twospeclaltles, advancing with great rapidity. There was some hesitation be fore the issue of the Dank statement, but after that was issued the npward movement was re sumed and the stock market closed strong and active at tbe best prices of the day. North American yielded slowly and is alono in showing a decline of all tbe active stocks. The loss was per cent, but on the other hand Lackawanna rose i.. Bock Island, 2J4; Union Pacific, 2; Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred and Missouri Pacific, 1; Atchison and St. Paul, 1: Canada Soutbern and Louisville and Nashville, li. and Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and at. Louis 1 per cent. Railroad bonds were as active as usual of late and the strength of the market was in strict conformity to tbe advance in the share list, tbe final changes showing many marked gains among the active bonds. The sales were 51,150,000, out of which tbe Texas Pacific In comes furnished 5123,000. The important ad vances were: Burlington and Qulncy, Nebraska 4s, 3 to 88; Hocking Valley 6s, 3 to S3: Mobile and Ohio 4s. to 63; Northern Pacific 3s, 2 to 108, and Northern Pacific s, 2 to 85. The exports of specie from tbe port of New York last week amounted to 5508,489, of which 573,562 was in gold ana 5134,027 silver. The im ports amounted to 533315, of which 5305,420 was in gold and 526.SU5 in silver. Tho Potl says: Loudon was again a buyer of stocks this morning, and the early prices were higher than tbe closing figures last nigbt. Discounts there are easier, and the whole financial situation there is improving. Bnt London is not the leading factor In the ad vance in stocks now. To a considerable extent capital there will be still locked up in the mass of from 5700,000,000 to 5800,000.000 Argentine se curities, which will have to be nursed by tbe addition of other capital, while;the syndicate of bankers who hold them will necessarily have to assume a practical protectorate over Argentine finances and Argentine pol itics. Tho panic in stocks and railway securities generally had its immediate origin in London, but the recovery, which seems to have set in at last, after six months ot decline is almost entirely due to the buying of stocks by American capital, a large part of it being the capital of the general pub lic, who are not the usual speculators in stock, but only come in as buyers in conjunction with the great and radical change of values. Tbe lowest prices for all stocks which have been made for years, were those of November 15, 18 and 19. From that point there has been a general recovery of from 2 to 5 points In tbe last week, though this still leaves all the active stocks from 18 to 25 points below tbeir prices In May, The following table shows the prices or active stocks on the Mew York Stock Exchange yester day.

Tbe downward course of stocks is thought to have been permanently arrested. This view is taken by Watson t Gibson, who wire John M. Oakley & Co. as follows: Bulls are in high feather and they have turned tbe tables completely on the bears, wbo aro on the run. Tbe information or gossip is coming out that in the darkest days Gould, Sage, the Rockefellers, Thomas, Brice and large operators secured big blocks of tbe lead ing speculative stocks at panic prices, in some lnstancesto save the collapse of important con cerns possibly, and in some other instances be canselt gave these people a chance to get con trol of certain properties. These holdings, or some of them, will donbtless be for sale before long, but they may be withheld Ions enongh to make a further rally possible. There bas been an nnnsnal amonnt of ontrifht hnvlnr- nf lnw- priced stocks by small traders, which also tends'' to aimlnish the floating supply. These arguments have begun tbe latter part of tbe week to operate on tbe minds of shorts and outside traders, who are as usual tempted In at advancing figures. There was a big fail ure in Chicago to-day, a rolling stock company, but it bad no effect here, and tbe bank state ment showing a loss of about 5300.000 in actual cash (though a gain in reserves of 5022,000) cut no figure in the market. As we said last night there is no use to orgue about whether things are all right or nor. Those who have been bearish on general conditions cannot persuade themselves that tbe situation has radically changed, thongh they must recognize tbe fact that an acute panic in London was averted, and this favorable sentiment created from a sense of relief. The market is a hard one to read just now. So many bulls bave lost money that it can hardly be expected that the recovery from a state of panic can be immediately permanent, but on the other hand the powers here, in London, New York and Philadelphia, wbo bave come to tho rescue of failing firms are im mensely interested in whoonlngthingsun" to enable them to ultimately sell. We must con- iess tnac at tnis writing it iooks as n me mar ket bad a momentum which will carry It ma terially higher irrespective of any general con ditions. The power of capital now appears to bo effectually back of it. Boston Stocks. Atch. ft Top Boston ft Albany..., Boston ft Maine...., C. b. &q Cln.. San. ft Cley... Ksstern K. P. Fltchburg K. It.. ...

MARKETS BY WIEE. Continuation of the Bulge in tho Chicago Grain Pit-Bullish News From All Sources A Great Day for Scared Shorts. CHICAGO There nasa lively up-tumin tbe speculative markets to-day, and substantial ad vances were maintained at the close. The rest ing figures show a gain of le in wheat. The wheat market opened quiet but firm at about the closing figures of the previous day. May wheat changed bands at tbe start at from 99o to 90c, but quickly advanced to 51. December was in good demand, but sellers of that future could not at all times be found when wanted, and from this cause, buyers being in tbe ma jority the difference between it and May nar rowed to about cyic, which spread was main tained during tbe greater part of the session. Tbe story of tbe day's operations in the corn pit might be summed up in two words scared shorts. Tbe same nervousness which previiled among those having short wheat was noticeable among the corn speculators. The price at the noening was about ifc higher than it closed on Friday afternoon. May starting at 53c. There were sales at 52c and it worked off from 53 to 53K. The fluctuations were for some time con fined to the range already given, but when wheat became strong, corn sympathized. There was a decline to 52c on the rolling stock com pany's failure, but tbe recovery was rapid. The latter half ot the session.was an advance of o from the low point. Oats were fairly active, stronger and higher, and after an advance ot Jc, the market closed steady at almost outside figures, with anetgain ofKSJsC. Pork A fairly active trade was reported and prices ruled somewhat irregular. Opening sales were made at 7K16o advance, and then a reaction of 5c followed. Later, prices rallied 10c and a reduction -ol 15c was submitted to. At this decline shorts bought moderately and prices were advanced 2025c, which was fairly well supported to the close.

PITTSBURG TO BE BENEFITED. "No news of the timo will be mora profoundly interesting; to a multitude ot reader.3 than that which bas been published recently, still further Indicating the bopefnl advancement of Dr. Koch's experiments in tho cure of tuberculosis,' editorially says an exchange. While tbe truth of the article is not questioned, would It not be well to ajrain sound a warning note against tbo carelessness which so often lays the foundation for the dread destroyer? Time ami again bava articles appeared in theso columns giving the experience of those who have heeded the warn ing ere It was too late. The latest to add to ths already long list is Mas Anna Zirckel, 15 Congrcsi street. Miss Zirckel savs: "For more than six years I bad been troubled, it began first with head aches and pains over tbe eyes and in my tem ples: then my noso began discharging a watery substance. My noso would stop up, first one side then the other. "1 went on in this condition for two or three years. I would have a dropping into my throat and wonld raise muens until my whole frame would ache. I would bave night sweats and my sleep did me no good; in fact. I would arise In the morning not a bit refreshed. I had no ap petite and was troubled with indigestion. "ily worst trouble was with my hearing, which was so bad that I feared I WOULD LOSE MY HEARING. "It began with ringing and buzzing noises la my ears, which was followed by partial deaf ness. I grew gradually worse, until 1 could scarcely hear tbe loudest noises. "I was in a bad condition when I saw the ad vertisements of Drs. f'opeland & Blair, and after some thought decided that 1 would try them, and I did with astonisbmgresults. I feel so well that I can scarcely realize how bad I was. My hearing is almost wholly restored and T can now bear ordinary conversation. They bave done even more than they promised they wonld do. The above statement can be verified by call ing at the address given. Drs.
