PROGRESS OF THE T0RTL&CREEK ROAD
The Jameison failure in Philadelphia
caused scarcely a ripple in this city. It was
referred to on Fourth avenue yesterday
more as a matter of surprise than anything
else, as it had been hoped that the era of
failures had been passed and that a reaction
had set in. It is, perhapr, fortunate that
all the troubles are coming at once. Their
removal will give the financial sky a chance
to clear up before the new year sets in.
Nothing that has yet transpired has had
more than a passing" effect upon business in
this citr. The conservative policy of bant
ers and'business men generally, has proved the
salvation of Pittsburg in worse times than
these, and it will catry her safely through the
present crisis.
righting It Out.
The bulls and the bears of the country are
still engaged in the strueele for supremacy.
It has become a national contest. Wall street
being too restricted for the maneuvering of
their forces. This is not unusual at the end of
a year when everybody is expected to squaro
accounts. Those who fall to meet their liabili
ties go to the-wall. It is a case of the survival
of the fittest. Individuals aud firms who have
been careful and prudent during the year, and
have not had too many irons in the fire, are as
sound as a dollar, and these constitute the
large majority of the business element.
Business prophets are no moro reliable than
weather prophets. Both "gang aft aglec."
Predictions of universal disaster find few Do
lievers. Ihe failure of a weak house does not
necessarily involve a strong one. Thero is rea
son why the one should topple, but nothing to
Impugn the integrity of tbe others. It is a
question of business methods in both cases.
The weak house was founded upon the sand,
but the strong one was built upon a rock. A
ship at sea without a rudder is paralleled by
the man who lets his business run itself, or who
attempts more than he knows he is able to per
forin. To use a Western phrase, ho bites off
more than he can chew. These considerations
seive to show that recent failures are due to
mismanagement in some form, and do not re
flect the ie.il condition of business.
bo far as close students ot the situation can
discern, tho legitimate business of tbe country
is in a sound and prosperous condition notwith
Ftandlng tho contusion in the speculative mar
kets, and there i no occasion for alarm to those
who are pursuing a conservative policy. Clear
ings ot the Pittihurg banks during the past
week were $3,000,000 greater than m the corre
sponding time last year, which was one of the
best in the history of the city. Financiers are
taking in sail as a precautionary measure, but
estaolished business receives all the support it
requires. Pittsburg is unquestionably one of
the soundest spots in the trading and financial
wor.d.
rushing It Along.
The Turtle Creek Railroad is being pushed to
completion as fast as money and muscle can do
it. This road begins at Stewart statiou, on the
Pennsylvania Railroad, 17 miles from Pitts
burg, proceeds up Turtle creek to Mnrrays
ville, thence along Turtle Creek Valley to Dec
mont and thence to Saltsburg, where it inter
sects with the West Penn road. It has been
graded and Is nearly ready for the ties as far as
Murraysville.
The road passes through the richest part of
Westmoreland county, both in agricultural and
mineral resources, and will bring Into market a
large area of the best gas coal in the State, be
sides affording farmers a much-needed outlet
for their products. The prospect is good for
its completion before the end of the coming
new ear.
A Plea for Moderate Rents.
There are those who think, and not without
reason, that there is danger of house owners
going beyond tbe reach of renters. On this
subject a leading broker remarked yesterday:
"It is poor policy on the part of an owner to
charge a tenant more than his business will
allow him to pay. This Is often done because
tho tenant dislikes to move or is unable to get
another house. Bouses are so scarce that
tenants are completely at the mercy of owners.
Some owners take advantage of thit and play
Kb j lock. They get the promise of a high
rental and when the tenant, through sickness
or acciaent. fails to pay they wonder why it is
not reflecting that the tenant is nnableto lay
by an) thing for a rainy day. The owner should
either refuse an applicant outright or put the
price on a level with his Income.
"I think enough honses will go up in tbe next
two or three years to reduce rents to tbe actual
paying capacity of the industrial element of
our citizens."

ufacturers' Gas held its own. Electric took
another backward step, while the Tractions
were mere wall dowers. Snitch was not wanted
and bad no bids.
There was nothing new in conditions. Tho
well-worked rumors of the past week or two
were bandied about. Even tbe Gasers bad
their filends. The slump was mainly due to
the difficulty of getting money on stock collat
eral aud to the weakness of the Eastern mar
kets. The close was generally at or near the
lowest point of the week. Brokers were by no
means confident that bottom had been touched.
That depends upon the financial standing of
the holders. Hellers during the week were
heavv losers.

HARD CASH.
Bank Clearings Show a Handsome Gain
Over Last Year.
The local money market ruled strong the
past vi eek. Calls from merchants and manu
facturers were promptly responded to, but the
common herd got very little comfort and less
money. The inability of outsiders to borrow
was tbe tnaui cause of the depression in stocks.
Everything else held its own.
The business situation, as shown by Clearing
House reports, is all right. It has not even
been touched by the hem of the panic." Bank
cleauncs the past week, five das, were oM.r
$3,000,000 in excess of the corresponding week
of last j ear. Ihe month also shows up handsomely-

Market Opens Irregular, Rules Quiet and
Closes Lower on Almost All Shares
What Becomes of Specie From the
Banks a Puzzling Question.
New York, November 29. To-day's market
was very quiet, especially for Baturday. The
powers ot depression went to work, and, with
some liquidation of long accounts, prices
drooped all along tho lino, while the properties
to wnich tbe bears paid particular attention
were decidedly weak, and scored marked losses
as the result of the day's operations.
London had no buying orders this morning,
and the market, while very quiet at the open
ing, was inclined to continue the downward
movement of yesterday afternoon, but Sugar
was up 1 per cent on the report of the deposit
of the Mathlessen stock, and rose 1 per cent
farther to 60.
The general list opened irregular and shaded
off slightly, and when tbe denial of the deposit
of the certificates reached the street. Sugar
dropped away eharplv, nearly 3 per cent, and
the general list followed. Tbe bears attacked
Lackawanna and Union Pacific, with Atchison
and St. Paul, and each of those stocks dropped
about 1 per cent, while Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Chicago and St. Louis lost over 2, and Wheeling
and Lake Erie preferred even more.
The buying was of a good character, but
could not stem the tide of the offerings ot short
stock, and the decline was not checked, the
market closing weak at about tbe lowest prices,
though there were a few feeble rallies toward
the end of the session, but they bad no influ
ence upon tho general list.
The whole list, with a few unimportant ex
ceptions, are lower, and Wheeling ana Lake
Erie preferred is down 2. Cleveland, Cincin
nati. Chicago and St. Louis 2V. Lackawanna
1. Union Pacific 1, St. Paul 1 and Jersey
Central and Northern Pacific preferred each 1
per cent.
Railroad bonds were moderately active, and
displayed a firm tone in tbe early trading,
which gave way to weakness toward the close
in sjmpathy with tbe tone of the stock list.
Final changes, thererore, are quite irregular,
with some marked advances aud losses. The
sale of all issues reached $870,000. Tbo declines
include Big Sandy 6s, 2 to 88: Union Pacific,
Denver and Gulf Ista, 2 to 8l; while North
western sinking fund 5s lose S to IOC; East Ten
nessee ins to 104.
Tbe Poit says: Technically the bank state
ment was favorable, because it showed an in
crease in the surplus reserve, and also because
the liquidation of loans nearly corresponds to
the decrease of deposits', but the continued lots
of sperio indicates a drain to some quarter
which has continued for months, and in the
last month has taken nearly $7,000,000 of specie
out of tho New York banks. None of it has
gone to Europe, and the question as to where
it does go is as puzzling as the one as to what
has become of the $62,000,000 of currency put
out by the Treasury in September and October.
While tbe banks of New York, Boston and
Philadelphia are obliged to resort to clearing
house certificates, and the banks of Chicago
are said to be discussing the same policy, it is
apparent that the vast increase of circulating
capital is not lodged In banks.

WALL STREET GOSSIP.
Possibility of a 'Whirl In Price This Week
Silver a Purchase.
Tbe condition of and outlook for speculation
are fairly presented in the following telegraph
ic letter to John M. Oakley fc Co.:
1 his morning before the opening we wired
many of our largest clients that we expected
lower prices for to-day and next week. The
market has not acted right and it looks as if
we had passed the level of maximum prices for
the rest of this vear. The rise has been rapid
and not fully justified. There has been some
manipulation and a great deal of romancing
and dreaming about Gould's plans. Imagina
tion and manipulation have forced the market
up and the shorts out. It is, ot course, possi
ble that another whirl may be given to prices
next week, but much of tho bull motive power
has boen spent.
It is fair to suppose that the short interest
was increased to-day, and if tho market is weak
Monday it will bo lurther increased. There
will doubtless be great pressure on Coneress
for inflating measures, and if they are fielded
to we shall probably have a surplus of ready
money next spring and probably a big bull
market, Silver was strong and in our Judg
ment it is the safest and best tbing on the list
to buy. The bank statement was nominally
favorable, showing an increase in reserves of
$292,000. but the banks lost about a half million
on actual cash.

The Trend of Prices In the Grain Fit Still
Downward A Decline In All the
Cereals, and Also in Provisions.
CHICAGO The grain and provision markets
opened weak and lower than tbey closed on
Friday, and whllo the day's business had a few
bard spots interspersed the final result was a
decline in all tbe speculative articles.
The nheat market was heavy at the opening,
and the price of the May delivery started at a
decline of Jo f.-om the closing qnotatlon of the
day before. Tbe spirits ot tbe local speculators
wero depressed by tho evidence which contin
ued to crop up of tbe far-reaching effects
or the recent shaklngoutof the bulls In the stork
market. Money is still scarce, even for such
necessary purposes as tbo carrying of grain and
provisions, as evidenced by the widening of the
premium between December and May wheat to
82 per bushel. The receipts here were again
liberal and considerable 111 excels of the esti
mates made yesterday. Stocks were weak.
The New York bank statement as expected to
be unfavorable, and gold exchange expected as
a possibility within the next few days.
JThes were the Influences nnaer which tho
speculators in grain could see nothing but
gloom In tho outlook when ther started tradlug.
The crowd in the wheat pit was unanimously
on the selling side during the first 10 minute' of
the session, and the May delivery declined a
tinder the opening quotation. After this spell
of weakness, tbo news which came to hand be
ing of a less somber character than the fore
bodings of tbo speculators, there was a period
of strength, which lasted up to about l2o' clock.
There was a degree of firmness every time
tbe price of May wheat got to the neighbor
boooTor $1 00. which it did several times dur
ing the day, $1 00 being tbe lowest point
shorts were willing to sell at under those
prices, bur, on the contrary, preferred covering
their previous ventures. In the meantime the
difference between December and May had
widened to SJc, and that was the spread pre
vailing as the market closed. Tbe final trading
in May was at $1 001 00, and December
was therefore nominally worth 92Hc, with
nothing doing in the lattor at tbe last moment.
Some of tbe recovery toward the close was due
to the reported purchase in New York of ten
boatloads for shipment to Lisbon.
Ihe corn market opened weak in sympathy
with wheat, and first sales were made at a de
cline of 4c from yesterday's closing quotations.
The trading was not particularly active at tbe
time referred to and rather dragged during tbe
first half of tbe session. Lacking any efficient
support the prices inclined downward, answer
ing in this respect the predominating feeling
of the local speculators, wbicb favors a lower
range. Reports from Kansas and Nebraska
were as gloomy with regard to the outcome of
the crop as any previously received, but tbe
active demand for shipment, which character
ized tbe closing days ot lake navigation, is now
abated and has now to adjust itself to all rail
rates. Tbe business was heaviest in the last
half of tbe session, during which all semblance
of strength was eradicated, and tbe weakness
develbped continued to the end, the closing
price being within y3c of tbe lowest figures of
tbe day. The highest price was made Imme
diately after tbe opening.
Oats were fairlyactive, but weaker, unsettled
and prices ranged lovier. Tbe opening was at
Jc decline, but, on fair buying by a large opera
tor, rallied c Tbe weakness in other grains,
and free selling by parties who bought freely
yesterday, produced a heavy feeling, ana prices
receded c rallied slightly, and closed easy c
lower than yesterday.
Pork Only a fair trade was reported, and tbe
feeling was easier. Opening sales were made at
15 20c decline. Later, prices rallied 57c, and
Closed quiet at about medium figures.
Lard Quite a good business was transacted.
Opening sales were made at 710 decliue, but
moderate buying tended to a steadier feeling,
and prices rallied 25c. Later, prices settled
back again, and closed quiet.
Short Ribs A fairly active trade was report
ed, and tbe market in a general way was easier.
Prices ruled 25c lower, and the market
closed quiet at inside figures.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

WAITING P0B A CLEAR TITLE.
A Purchaser of Real Estate TVho Was Not
Up in the Business.
A. A. Alles and J. S. Alles, tbe two
Southside real estate men who were charged
with conspiracy by Fred. Jacobs, before

Jacobs claimed that he had paid Alles
f 1,150 lor two lots in Knoxville borough last
August and that he had not received a deed

given at tbe hearing, it appears that there
was a mortgage on the property for $421 and

in the suit being entered.

ALUMINUM J0BE CHEAP.
ANOTHER PROCESS FOR EXTRACTING
THE VALUABLE METAL.
No Electricity This Time and the Chemical
Reagents Are Not Expensive Big
Plants Projected and $100 a Ton is
the Price to he Reached.
rfrrciAt txlzqram to tub DitrA-rnrM
LoCKrortT, N. Y., November 23. For
some time past the Cowles Blectric Smelt
ing and Alumnium Company, of Lock port,
has been preparing to produce pure alumi
num by a new process which appears to be
a finality in solving tbe problem of the
cheap extraction of this useful metal from
the common clay. Eugene H. Cowles,
President of tbe company here, said:.
"Pure aluminum in the ingot.not contain
ing over 1J percent of impurity, is selling
to-day in England at SI 25 per pound. The
same metal sells in this country at $2 per
pound. With the duty at only'15 cents per
pound it will not be long be'nre the market
price here should drop to tbe English price,
plus the duty and cost of importation. I
therefore assume that the proent worth of
pure aluminum in the United States
is $1 50 per pound when inrnished in
wholesale lots in ingots containing not over
the above per cent of impurity. We sell
the same metal in our iron alloys at $1 (or
the contained aluminum.
"In the United States there are but two
concerns that produce aluminum. Tbey are
tbe Pittsburg Reduction Company, and the
one in Lock port, N. Y. Heretofore we
have only produced aluminum in the form
of alloy; but now by reason of two unique
and beautiful chemical discoveries it is
found that tho pure metal can be extracted
direct from the clnr. This is a new process
and entirely chemical. The reagents used
are almost as cheap as the mud itself, and
electrical heat isn't needed. Patents on
every step of the process ,are applied for.
When operated on as large a s;alc as that in
which iron is produced aluminum shnnld
be made so cheaplythat itcould sell for 5200
per ton, a price less than the present price of
copper.
"Alterations will at once be made in the
Lockport works to make the metal on a large
scale by tbe new process Two groups of
capitalists in New York Citv are also pre
paring to build immense new works of prob
ably 20 times the capacity of the Lockport
works. One of the large plants will be lo
cated at Niagara Falls where 10,000 horse
power will be required to operate it. The
plant will likely be in operation in July,
1892. As methods have lately been discov
ered by which the metal can be hardened
and its strength greatly increased without
interfering materially with its toughness and
great lightness, it wo'nld really seem as if
the aluminum age was at hand."
COLONIAL TREATIES OF C0MMEEC2.
British-American Provinces Want to Have
a Word in Their Making.
Tobohto, November 29. A special
cable dispatch says: Iaquiries in official
circles confirm the statement ot the Times
regarding the action of the Government in
seeking the views of self-governing colonies
concerning their commercial treaty making
powers.
The Colonial Office committeeappointed to
consider the matter has been informed on
behalf of most of the colonies that two
changes are desired, namelv the termina
tion of the Belgian and German treaties
which deprive colonies ot the right to make
closer commercial arrangements with the
mother country; also admission of the prin
ciple that trade treaties shall not be binding
on colonies without colonial consent. The
exchange of views, however, only initiates
inller discussion of tbe whole question, in
which the right of colonies to negotiate their
own treaties, subject to imperial consent,
will probably be urged.

The Cure of Consumption
By the Method Discovered by
"Prof. Koch, the Noted
German Physician.
PITTSBURG TO BE BENEFITED.
"No news of the time will be moro profoundly
interesting to a multitude ot readers than that
which has been published recently, still further
indicating the hopeful advancement of Br.
Koch's experiments in the cure of tuberculosis,'
editorially says an exchange. While tbe trnttl
of tbe article is not questioned, would it not be
well to again sound a warning note j gainst the
carelessness which so often lays tbe foundation
for the dread destroyer? Time and again have
articles appeared in these columns giving tha
experience of those who hare heeded the warn
ing ere it was too late. The latest to add to the
already long list is
Miss Anna Ztrckcl, 2$ Congrtst street.
Mis3 Zirckel sits: "For more than six years
I bad been troubled. It began first with head
aches and pains orer the eves and in my tem
ples; then my nose began discharging a watery
substance. My nose would stop up, first one
side then tbe otber.
"I went on in this condition for two or three
years. I would have a dropping into my throat
and would ra!?e mucus nntil my whole frame
would ache. I would have night sweats and my
sleep did me no good; in fact. I would arise in
the morning not a bit refreshed. I bad no ap
petite and was troubled with Indigestion.
"ilv worst trouble was with my hearing,
which was so bad that I feared
I WOULD LOSE MY HEARING.
'Tt began with ringing and buzzing noises in
my ears, which was followed by partial deaf
ness. I grew gradually worse, until I could
scarcely hear the loudest noises.
"I was in a bad condition wben I saw the ad
vertisements of Drs. Copeland & Blair, and
after some thought decidea that I would try
them, and I did with astoni3hingresults. I feel
so well that I can scarcely realize bow bad 1
was. My hearing is almost wholly restored and
I can now bear ordinary conversation. Tbey
have done even more than they promised they
wonlddo.
The above statement can be verified by call
ing at the address given.
Drs. Copeland & Blair have tfaelrownlabra
tory and their own pharmacist, wboss whole
time is devoted to preparing tbe medicines for
their many patients. Every prescription is
compounded under tbo 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 &
Blair furnish all medicines free of charge.

Mrs. Argyle bad been troubled with ber head
and stomach six years. Pain over the eyes,

labored, causing such dizzy spells that she
would faint dead away. Her sleep was dis
turbed by nnrrid dreams and when sbe awoka
in the morning was more tired than wben sha
went to bed.
Jfri. yevin Argyle, Talbot avenue. Braddock.
After six months' continuous and systematic!
treatment, which required considerable pa
tience on both Dr. Byers' ana Mrs. Argyle's
part, he pronounced ber cured. A few weeks
afterward he was surprised to have ber call at
his office and say that "she and ber husband
bad been talking the matter over and decided
that as sbe had received so ranch benefit from
tbe treatment, that they ibougbt it was as little
as they could do fur Sr. Byers to have him pub
lish her case as encouragement to others
afflicted as she was." It is, tberefore. with ex
treme pleasure that Br. Byers publishes tha
above testimony in favor of bis method of treat

out of tbe goodness of her heart and sympathy
for suffering humanity. Sbe is well-known la
