SHADOWS ON TUXES

:o Formidable as Many Real
Estate Investors Think.
HOW A LAWYER WORKED ASD WON
Weakness Still tbe Dominant Feature of
the Local Stock Market.
THE XEffS AXD GuSSIP OP THE C1TI
It is well kuown that marketable business
property in the down-town part of the city
is inconveniently scare?, so much so, indeed,
r.s to keep away many firms and individu
als desiring to locate here. This is a direct
injury to the city.
One reason for this scarcity was stated by
a prominent lawyer yesterday. Many
properties are kept out of the market by
real or supposed flaws iu the titles. Iu most
cases these could be cleared up by patient
investigation. He cited an instance of this
kind in which he was interested. A few
months ago a property in the Highland
l'.irk district changed ownership at some
thing over 550,000. Before paying over the
money tbe purchaser ascertained that a
cloud hung over the title, and backed out,
although anxious to secure the property.
The lawyer went to work and in about two
weeks had everything as siraignt as a yard
stick. He encountered many difficulties,
Foaie of which ran back 40 years, but he
overcame th?m all, and presented 'o the gen
tleman such irre'utable proof of a clear title
that he finally took the property. This was
a distinct gain to that part o' the city, is a
number of important Improvements will be tbe
outcome.
Considerable property on Liberty. Pcnn and,
l.o doubt, other streets that i recanted as deau
Mock, liecausc of shaded titles could be made
available lor t-ale or improvement by submit
ting it to the careful scrutiny of an expert
title searcher As these properties are badly
needed to larilitate the business of the city,
and to permit of the introduction of outside
capital and enteipri'e. now practically ex
cluded for want of accommodation, they
fhould be improved b tlmr present owners or
alloued topassiuto imne energetic hand. It
is an eav matter to n m've all supicion from
tLc titles in the large majority of cases.

Considerable Doing in Local stocks, but
Values Again Let Go.
There was a fair volume of business trans
acted at tbe local stock calls yesterday, but it
was at tbe expense ot values. Nearly everything
a weak and lower. The principal sufferers
were Philadelphia Gas, Electric, fipeage. Cen
tral Traction. Caartlers Gas and Airbrake,
each of which touched a loner point than any
previously reached tlw year. Electric rallied
a tnflc at tbe last call, but the others closed at
thciowest figures of the day.
Sales at the first call were 5 shares of Phila
delphia Gas at 11 50 at IS and 10 at 17. At
second call 20 shares of Philadelphia Gas sold
at ITVi. 30 at 17, 10 at 1G 40 Electric at 19, 10

were 341 share-.
After tbe lasr call a group of brokers gath
ered nn the floor of the Exchange and in
formally discussed the sitnation. While not
expecting a material reaction this year, tbe v
almost unanimously agreed that there would
be a change for the better so soon as tbe finan
cial pressure was removed. Mr. Wcstingbouse
arrived home from the East and spoke hope,
fully of the condition and prospetts of his interests.

ITEW YOBK STOCKS.
A General Weakness in the ltailroad and
Business World and a Scarcity of Funds
Easy Money 2fot Xhcpected Be
fore the New Year.
New York, Dec L Tbe temper of tbe stock
market during the latter portion of last week
was continued to-day, and even greater losses
were sustained than on either of the days of
last week, when prices drooped. There was no
apparent cause for the weakness in either tbe
railroad or tbo business world, but many are
inclined to look upon it as the natural conse
quence of tbe too rapid rise of the past ten
days.
Of course the day was the first of the month
and there was a scarcity of funds to loan ow
ing to the disbursements for interest being
made by the banks aud rates of call loans
were high during roost of the day, reaching 14
per cent at one time. There was also another
failure announced, but it was not of sufficient
importance to have had any influence upon the
course of pnecs. London was a seller for no
apnarcnt reason, but this gave the bears tho
opportunity to hammer the list with more suc
cess and many stop orders were reached in the
early trading on the combination of selling, so
that the market throughout the day was
demoralized.
The market lacked support because brokers
declined to do a margin business, and it is felt
in tbe streetthat not before tbe tint of the new'
year may easy money be looked tor. notwith
standing the easier condition of the foreign ex
changes and the very flattering condition of
our foreign trade at prefe.it Tbe selling was
principally in the arbitrage stocks ln"tho early
portion of tbe day, but when tbe bears got well
to work there was great impartiality shown in
the hammering operations, and the whole list
moved off in unison. Lackawanna, Dela
ware and Hudson, Union Pacihc and Louis
ville and Nashville were leaders. There were
many rumors of an indefinite na
ture flying around tho street but the
steady pressure upon tho lit of short stocks
was the only reason for tbe decline that could
be seen. There was a rumor of a disagreement
among the coal roads to account for tbo weak
nc3.n1 these stock, and Atchison was sold on
a rumor of a new floating debt whilo the op
position to Mr. Gould among the Boston capi
talists in Union P citte were credited with sell
ing that stock. The losses were greater than
could be accounted for by these reasons, how
ever, and short selling did the business berond
a doubt The market at the close, however, is
again near the point where investors who pay
for and take away their securities come in. and
such orders materially Increase as prices go
down.
The feeling is general in the street that by
the 1st of January a decided change for the
better may be expected in tbe monetary situa
tion, the improvement being indicated by tbe
gams which are being made by tbe batiks in all
the important financial centers. London is not
likely to do much in American securities be
fore that time, but tbe latter are likely lo be in
better favor than anything offered by ihcir
own market Mercantile failures outside of
Wall strret may be expected now, as that com
munity is going through the sime contraction
and liquidation that Wall street has experi
enced. The market closed active and very
weak at the lowest prices of the day.
There was nothing to indicate that there was
anything artificial about this wide range The
fait is that there was unusual demand for
money to-day in connection with tbe lieavv
settlements nn tbe first of the month in all
lines of business. But the settlement of taxes
in Brooklyn alone required several millions
for use in tho next few days. All tbe leading
stock commission houses had foreseen tbe
probable demands for money about this time
and had borrowed ahead. It is, in fact these
balances of brokerage bouses, instead of those
of the banks, which have supplied the call loan
market on the Stock Exchange In the last
week. There is, however, reasons to expect a
much easier market for call loans before many
dais.

Monday, December L 1S90. (
Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
The business week began with a bme Mon
day. Tbe weatber returned to first principles,
and between drizzling rains above and sloppy
streets beneath produce commission men had
little demand for stuff. Poultry is still a drug
in the market Grapes are practically out for
tbis season, and are dropped from our list
With the departuro of domestic grapes there
is a slightly improved demand for tropical
fruits and apples. Fancy apples readily bring
outside quotations. Potatoes are very nrm and
prospects are for higher prices before tbo week
is cone. Jobbing prices are expected to reach
SI 23 per bushel before tbe year is at its finis.
Fresh nearoy eggs are not in supply equal to
demand.

still steady, but stocks In hands of Importers are
large. Canned fruit are quiet, as is their cus

after tbe turn of the year are almost as certain
as anything future can be.

Only Three Feet Six Inches of "Water in
tl,,. HI...
All tbe up and down river packets had good
trade yesterday, and the usual trips were made.
The Keystone State was in from Cincinnati
yesterday, and had a cood trip out Tbe Andes
will be the regular boat to-day.
The temperature is scheduled to make a de
cided drop by this morning. It is claimed that
tbe down scale will be run to tbe extent of 14,
and winter will begin at once.
The river is getting down pretty low. and
while tho picket business is not yet affected,
if the fall continues much longer, it will cause
trouble. Yesterday the river registered three
feet six incbes, and it is still tailing rapidly.
HEW SANITAEY FAD.
Barefoot Jaunts and Dally Baths in Ice
Water as Nervo Cares.
Boston Herald. ,
A nerve care which lasts 21 days, consist
ing of walking about barefooted, taking
daily baths in ice cold water, and living on
a diet of milk and vegetable, may be effi
cacious, but it is mighty disagreeable. I
wonld like to consign mine enemy to a
"cure" ot tbis description, for it, is certain
he or she wonld be evcutually landed in
Somerville, or, sent over to be cured again
by Prof. Koch.
Some of the victims of nervous prostration
who now refuse to sleep or to be comforted
by expensive specialists might try what
leaving off their shoes and stockings would
do, but tbey should beware or the ice water
bath. It is one of the health fads just now
to let infants of well-to-do parentage roam
about as nature made them. TJp to date
this tougbeuing process has been confined to
the privacy of the nursery, but there is no
telling how soon this in puns naturalibus
whim may reach the street. Not this win
ter, it is to be hoped.
Significance of Laughter.
By Herbert Maxwell
If laughter is that which distinguishes
men from beasts, a smile is the badge of
their iellowihip with ansels. It cannot be
put on, it must come from1 the heart; lor
affectation, always hateful, is more rupellant
in an artificial smile than in any other guise.
Have we but tbe heart to smile in difficulty
or disaster, how these will melt away before
us: how anerv men's brows will unfurl and
fists unclench for we know instinctively
that none but tbe gentle, can smile, just as
none but the churlish can scowl.

against 103 loads last Monday. Tho proportion
of good beeves in to-day's offerings was below
late average. There ere no strictly prunes
on salo. One commission man reported good
cattlo fairly active at last week's prices, and
common grades a shade weaker. Another re
ported good, smooth butcher beeves, such as
our markets call for, 10 to 15c higher than last
Monday, and luaiket very slow for all commoa
and low grade stock. Good feeders wero in
good demand at last week's price.
Buyers were on hand in fair force, but made
most of their opportunity from the big run,
and wore successiul in obtaining concessions
on common and low grades. The run
of sheep and lambs was unusually
large, there being 2U loads on sale against 14
last Monday. In tbe receipts there were not
more than two or three loads of choice stock.
Markets were strong for good and weak for
low grades. Top price for sheep was 5 25 and

Sbn. There were about 80 heads on sale. Corn
fed wero largely in the minority. Markets
were heavy at a decline of 15 to 25a per cwt
Top price was $3 90 and few if any reached this

MARKETS' BY WIRE.
An Upturn In the Grain Pit Cereals Score
Substantial Gains Provisions Lose
Ground A Panic No Longer
Considered Probable.
CHICAGO The grain markets opened act
ive and strong. Wheat, curu and oats, after
opening lower than tbey bad closed on Satur
day, recovered the loss and wound up with sub
stantial gains. Provisions could not overcome
the enormous receipts of hoes and were lower
at the close to-day than on Saturday.
It nas 1030 o'clock when trading commenced.
as is enstotnary on the first busiuess day of the
month. The deliveries ou December contract.
which occupied tbe time previous to the open
ing, had no particular significance. Outside
markets were easier and stocks started in weak
and generally lower. Ihese were the early oc
currences under which prices started at a de
cline of about Jfe from Saturday's closing quo
tations. May opened with very free sellers at
SI 00 and scarcely any buyers until it was
offered at SI OOJj. At the latter price, how
ever, the entire iron d took the buing side and
tho price went up ins'tantly to SI 0L Rumors
of failures among the operators in stocks still
continued to frighten those who cannot per
ceive a panic or crisis is no lunger among the
probabilities.
.The majority of the foregoing items being
somewhat encouraging to those who were long
caced a corresponding discouragement to tbe
shorts, and tbe latter became good bnyers. The
bulls did not fail to whip tbe market up. and
bv 1 o'clock the prices had been advanced over
IJc per bushel from the lowest point of tbe
earlier dealings. December was in bad favor
at tbe opening of tbo session and sold as low as
91r, and durinz the greater part of the time
at o on May. Trading which was rather slow
up soon became more active on tbe advance,
but it as largely local in character. Commis
sion bouses generally complained of light busi
ness. There was a slight reaction in tbe last
few ininutis which, however, still held an ad
vance of about a over faaturday's closing.
The market for corn was weak when trading
started, and fur a long time business In tbe pit
was dull and fluctuations narrow. Tho busi
ness was described bv one trader as a ''mere
sec-saw between Hutchinson and Bloom for
sixteenths." Blonm was the seller and Hutch
inson the buyer, and as the strone tone of the
wheat market In tho end gave the latter the
long end of the plank he found no difficulty in
raising tbe price nearly lc per bushel over its
lowest point at the opening. The first sales
were irregularly made at Irnnio".c to 51c witn at
least one salo at &Ric but there was a recovery
in a short time to W'c, and between that prijo
and SSiic the bulk uf the early trading was
done. There was a good demand from the
early sellers when what commenced to harden,
and the price in tbe last hour advanced to 55c,
leaving off with bus ers at53c
Oats were moderately active and a shade
easier early, but advanced yp on bnying by a
large trader who afterward tnrned seller and
prices receded c The market closed steady
at a sliebt advance over Saturday.
Pork Trading was moderately active and
prices fluctuated considerably within a small
nnge. Opening sales were made at 10c de
cline, and" a further reduction of 2U5c was
submitted to. Later, prices rallied to 1215c.
but settled back again slightly and closed
steady. .
Lard A fairly active business was transacted
and.pnces ruled somewhat irregular within a
small range. Opening sales showed a reduction
of 25c, and a further depreciation of 5c was
submitted to. Later, prices rallied 2c, but
settled back slightly and closed at medium
figures.
bhort Ribs Rather more Interest was mani
fested. At the opening the feeling was easy,
and sales were made at 5c dedinp, followed by
a further reduction of 2Jc Later, prices
rallied 25c. receded slightly and dosed
rather firm:
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

Unsuccessful Effort to Puzzle Two Eastern
Postmasters.
New York Sun. 3
A postal card was mailed at Station F
in this city last Tuesday, addressed:
a
: bin :
: John :
: Mass. :
.
............................................
On the back was this note by the sender,
a member of a firm of ivory carvers and
pipe makers:
The undersigned made a bet that this would
not reach tbe party addre-sed. If it reaches
the city named and tbe party addressed cannot
be found, please return to 215 East Thirty-third
street.
Postmaster Van Cott smiled a long and
reminiscent smile when lie saw the postal,
and said: '"Let her go." The postal was
sent at once to Andover, JIass., and two
days later Louis P. Worth, the sender, got
a reply from Postmaster A. Uniland, of
Andover, returning the postal. Ihe post
master said:
There is nn such person in Andover as John
TJndeihill. whose name is indicated by your
postal. This i an old one. Letters have been
frequently received at this office for many
years addressed as your card is. Probably eacn
one sending them thinks wo will be puzzled
over the addres. but I have seon it so often
that I know it is a chestnur. It is at least 40
years old lo mv certain knowledge.
Yours respectfully,
A. Mailand, Postmaster.
"It's about time to spring a new one:
don't you think so?" said Postmaster Tan
Cott.

Dowry is an antiquated provision for
daughteis, behind the genius of the age,
incompatible with the diguity of American
men and the intelligence and freedom of
American women. Besides, there are very
likely to be two, three, four or more
daughters in a house; how could a man of
moderate means save for all 01 them? And
what would become of the sons?
Tbe father who gives his children a lov
ing, sensible mother, who provides them
with a comfortable home, and who educates
fuiiy all their special faculties, and teaches
them tbe cunning in their ten fingers,
dowers his daughters tar better than if he
gave them money. He has funded for them
a provision that neither a bad husband nor
an evil fate can squander. He has done his
full duty, and every good girl will thank
fully so accept it.
