ST Y- -r-r- V THBpfosBUEG DISPATCH. WEDNESDAY.' -'jANTJABY 21, 189 J. 10 rfJ? I THE FARMER DODGE. Dow the Public Are Duped by Huck sters Posing as Farmers. SYSTEMATIC TRICKERY IN TRADE. Consamers and Legitimate Dealers Ire the Sufferers. TnE FIXaXCIAIj OUTLOOE IMPEOTIXG Office or The rrrrsBTTRO Dispatch, i Tuesday. Jan. SO, i Tricks ol Trade. Tfcere is more truth than poetry in the adage that Americans are not satisfied with out being humbugged. If thts victims to the farmer Jo'dge played by irresponsible huck sters would rtad the newspapers and exercise their mother wit, one occupation would soon be gone. There are not a few making a comfortable living in this city by posing as farmers fresh from the rural districts, with well-loaded "Webster wa;ons, which are daily filled at the commission houses. But ter, eggs, poultry and vegetables are fathered in at the commission houses, and are sold as home raised stutf by alleged farmers, when the stuff mar have traveled thousands of miles before it reacted Allegheny county. OIoo, manufacture! in Chicago, is disposed of as fancy cow buttor. and ef.ES laid in Nebraska and Tennessee as fresh-laid, nearby stock. A trip along Liberty street this morning revealed to the market ed itor of The Dispatch some new tricks in trade. In front ot a commission house wero two broad-gauge Webster wagons, with all the signs of having just arrived from the country, the drivers being rigged out to represent the typical Allegheny or Washington county larmcr. The wagon beds were well tupplled with straw, which had come in bales from the West. Drivers bad their high-top boots, wlih pants in their boots and loner extremities well covered with mud. The slouch hat, covered wltb the dust of the threshing machine, and hair con taining a proner araonnt of hayseed, together with the blacksnake whip, all pointed to the occupation of farmer. And yet a few inquiries revealed the factthat the supposititious farmers were city hucksters, who, having loaded their wagons Wim Stun irom fcue iar nvncub forth to the Soatbside or East End. seeking whom tbev might devour. Thcirnamcislcgion who become victims to these transparent iricks of trade. The trader w ho would resort to such tricks in anv country of the Old World would very soon find his occupation gone and himself behind the bars. Due here, somehow, ho man. ages to lite and prosper. There is nothing under the sun more certain than that all the.-e tricks of trade will end in disaster. There is an old book which says: "Be sure j onr sin w ill find you out" In the long run nothing wins as well as hon esty. The dealer who deals on the square Is the ore who wins. Crookedness never pays, cvon in dollars and cents, not to speak of tho wear and tear on character and conscience. If we were able to trace the career of ill-gotten gains, we would find that they never brought real profit to the pos-e-sor. The misfortune is that legitimate trade suffers more or less from the trickery of dishonest dealers, financial Outlook Bright. The Cirulian Union has a reputation for conservatism in its financial viena. The cur rent number has this to say of the situation and outlook: "Wall street is forever discounting not only probabilities but possibilities, and, for the past three months, not only has every earthly theory to depress been brought Into play, but prices have responded by going loner than at any time lor teu jears, until It became evident that the end of the decline was reached. The turn up that began three weeks ago has, with slight reactions, been continued, and this week has witnessed an additional advance of 3 per cent to 5 per cent, w itb a closing at the highest prices for many months. "The effect on the bond market, and on in vestments generally, or tbe 1st of January dis bursements has been almost magical. Prices for bonds are making strides upward beyond the expectations nf the taunt sanguine, and the pendulum that has swung so far in one way, now promises to make a swing equally as wide in the other direction. 'Tis tbe way ot the world; men co to excess; the optimist! j mind sees visions and dreams dreams, and the pes simistic inind gets the horrors and sink into profunnd depths, tbe man of moderation only occasionally finds followers. It certainly looks as if the present campaign in stock values was fixing to take great upward strides." MARKETS BY WIRE. Wheat Opens Weak, bnt Closes With a Snap Bullish News Train Abroad Corn and Oats Xlrmer Prm isions Also Marked Up. CHICAGO From decided depression at the opening the wheat market recorered a little in the first hour's trading and gaiued a good deal later on. The price for May declined to 90e in the first few minutes and closed at M'c. 'the licit wbieb came to band after the earlier dis patches had given the market its usual opening tear twist vas in favor of the other party. William Dunn had a dispatch from Antwerp advising damage to the plant in Europe from frost and accompanied by an order to buy. Numerous New i ork messages conveyed the same information as coming to the senders in their European cables. There was a correction in the stocks of wheat in Chicago elevators, an error having been dis covered making the quantity in stor here 119. 000 les than was given out yesterdav, and making the decrease in tbe v.sible supply that much more. Tbe difference in the price of wheat in New York and Chicago was being commented on as a strong feature, the sea board market tens quoted 9c higher than Chi cago. The Ecgi'sh visiblo supply decreased during tbe past weak l.COlCOO bushels, and tins makes tbe aecre-ses reported during the past three werUs amount to about t;8V,000 alto gether. These latter items gave tho shorts a bad half hour toward the clco and closed the marfcetcp with a snap at Vic which was the Inchest price of the day The trading in corn at the opening was in dicant e of some protest against any further following in the footsteps cf tbe tren declin ing wheat marker. There were afewsales.it is true, at 6c for May, w hich showed a decline since tho preceding afternoon of Jc. The market quickly rallied, however, and sold up to 03; c before any free selling was observable. The reaction did not put tbe pneo back under 0c. and it rested but a short tunc at that Enure. When wheat began to recover soma bullishness in its tone, the advance in corn was very sudden anil decided. May rota to 61c and closed at 51?.Jc. The oats market was bullish from the start. The May f nturo opened at Uc and advanced stoadilv to -JoJiC. Tbe price men declined to rtKc 1 he receipts of boss wero 36,000 head, and pnees paid at the yards did not seem to be much considered by tbe dealers in provisions, rackers sold moderately of ribs and pork, but sparingly of lard, when Cudahv's sales brought that article into line with the other. The heavy selling depressed prices at tbe opening, but the stiffening up of the grain markets created a reaction And there was au advance.

A Flood of Orders for Electric Sloekhowj That the Buyer Is Abroad; 'f 'flav THE KEWS AXD GOSSIP OP TWCITI in answer to the question, Is there any reason to apprehend a drop' in values of local real estate? a prominent business man, who Is a frequent buyer, said yysterday: ".No. I think such a thing impossible, under existing conditions. Purchasers have been, and are, proceeding cautiously? They want the lowest figures possible, but recog nize that increase in population ana busi ness makes old prices out of the question. The enhancement of values is the result of legitimate demand, backed by abundant capital, for which no investment equally sate and profitable can be found. The rapid growth of the city demands the constant enlargement of its 'bound aries and the erection of thousands of dwellings every year to borjse the people This, of itself. Is sufficient toabold tbe marker. So long as the city is not oTtrbuilt in other words, so long as tbero art), two or three applicants for every vacant house thero is no probability 'of a shading Of prices.' A slump in the face of such a demand as ! known by everybody to exist would Dean anomaly in business. Prices have not moved up .from the old level by kangaroo Jumps, but leisurely, merely keeping step with progress iniOtber,di rections. In sotuo places property has leaped almost out of sight in a single season. PUts bnrg real estate has been inoro than 100 years reaching its present moderate altitude'.. "1 started out by saylnz that I had no fears of a break in prices, and have given a IeW reasons for thinking so. If those who think differently will carefully sui vey the situation I think they will come to the same conclusion. It would be foolish to judge the whole year by the business of the first month, with a legacy of depressing influences and some fresh ones added. These are disappearing graduAUyratid there is reason to believe that .business of all kinas will soon be in good shape. Further evi dence of the correctness of my position is found in the fact that there is scarcely a piece of property in the city and suburbs that could be purchased to-day lor tbe price paid for it six months or a year ago. If there were reasons f or apprehending a turn in the tide owners would be quick enough to make concessions." Business News and Gossip. Business continues to move put Fifth avenue.

A Big Business Transacted at a Higher Level ol Values. There was quite a boom in Electric stock yes terday, nearly 1,200 shares changing bands at the three calls. Total sales were 1,460 shares. Electric opened at 9W, the highest point of tho day, and fluctuated between that and 8, quickly rallying from tbe depression, ine last sale was SJi. and that was the final bid. Concerning this stock a broker remarked: "The East is buying as well as Pittsburg. Some claim that tbe bulk of the orders comes from Boston, but I happen to know that a great many of them originated right here, Orders are scattering, and not in blocks, Bhowing that now buyers are taking bold. Evidence of the inherent strength ot tbe stock and of confi dence that the company will soon be in good shape is found in tde fact that the heavy sell ing of to-day did not break tbe market," Closing prices of other active stocks, as com pared with those of the previous day, show a slight loss in Philadelphia Gas and correspond ing gains in Pittsburg Traction, Consignee Mining and Switch and Signal. Airbrake again sold at 90. The advance in Consignee was due to a favorable report from tbo field ot operations. , THIRD CALL. U A Citizens Nat.Hk. German N.liank Masonic Bank.. Third National..

The Balls Discouraged at the Prospect of Sliver Legislation Both Share and Bond Markets Were Dull and No Chango of Note Occurred. New York, Jan. 20. In tbe stock market tbo bulls seem to be discouraged over the situation of financial legislation at Washington, and de clare that if tho representatives of the fanning interests of tho country are to manage its finances the business will be kept in an unset tled condition. The market to-day was very dull and featureless, the trading being left al most entirely In the hands of the room traders, who. being bearish, hammered the stocks dur ing tbe forenoon, and later tried to cover the short sales of tbe forenoon. Tho result of the day's bnslness is to leave all stocks within slight fractions ot last night's tl cures. The pressure seemed to be principally upon the Industrials, which were so strong yesterday, and Union Pacific and Chicago Gas and Laclede Gas were forced off over 1 per cent in the early trading alter an irregular openlne. When tbo pressure was removed, however, extreme dullness settled over the market, and Was never lifted during tbe remainder of tbo day, while prices, under the absence of selling and tho limited demaud from the shorts, slowly crept upward, and by the close, wblcb was dull and firm, tbe early losses were In almost all cases about recovered. Some little animation in Union Pacific New England, the Grangers and Industrials relieved tbe monotony, but the dealings were otherwise entirely devoid of interest. The final changes are irregular with not a single one of note. Railroad bonds sympathized closely with the dullness and apathy in the, share list and on trading of only SLI80.000, the changes were in mostcates insignificant. Tbero were a few marked differences from last sales, however, and Northern Pacific terminals rose 2 to 108.

Receipts of grain and hay are for a few days past beyond tbe needs of our local mar ket, and hence tbe cash buyer finds excellent opportunities for investment.

Don't go out ot doors for 'a second without extra covering. In selecting your winter underclothing choose tbat which is warm and yet more or less open in texture. Tako off your overcoat when you enter a warm place, whether office or private dwelling, even if your visit is to last only three minutes. If you catch cold or develop a cough, get rid of it at once. Tbls is better than feeling "nine" and thinking that pnenmonla or consumption has marked you as a victim. The best remedy for a cough or cold (how ever stubborn), or a sudden chill, is pare whis key. A doso of whiskey in water will impart a generous warmth to the whole body and keep off tbe diseases of the season. Don't forget that only pure whiskey should betaken. Duffy's Pure Malt wbiskey has the strongest recommendations from the leading doctors as to Its efficiency, and from the most prominent scientists as to its purity.
