A Reminiscence cif Sherman.
When the soldiers of the Union were
doing their utmost to prevent the dismem
berment of the Republic, there were at the
same time not a few -who were doing their
utmost to profit by the unpleasantness be
tween the "North and South. The specu
lator was abroad in the land then as now,
seeking whom he might devour. The
speculator in. v-otton was easily able to
amass a for'.une in a short time if he could

'magnificent opportunities of amassing sudden

Union omcer. When General Sherman was
an command tbee opportuuitics were as scarce
as lien's teeth. It is on record that when come
if his old friends and kindred elicited from
him the opportunity to buy up cotton that he
made use of language which would hardly be
in harmony with Christian ethics.
General Sherman had the opportunity
to enrich himself and friends oltcn when
in command of the armies of the
Southwest: but he proved superior to all such
temptations. All honor to the old hero, who
and lay was pronounced crazy because be
more than any other tolUier appreciated the
magnitude of the work to which Hie Republic

virtues was this that he did not look after selfish

Dairy Products
A loading dealer m the lines of dairy products
"had this to say of the recent advance in cream
cry butter: "Price of creamery is now so high
tbatbuttenne is preferred by the average con
sumer. There is little doubt that the manufac
turers of oloo hare bad something to do with
the late advance of the genuine article. As
creamery butter advances, the amount con
sumed declines, and consumption of buttenne
Increases. The amount of the latter handled in
Pittsburc is now almost eizht carloads weekly.
Country butter is very dull, as It lacks keeping
qualities, and the average consumer piefeis
the butter imitation to the. butter, which stead
ily gains in strength."
There has been a very strong cheso market
for a week or two past, and an advance is
sure to come at an early day. The products of
Ohio cheese factories have oeen gatnered in by
speculators in the faith of higher values, and
ur jobbers are carrying very light stocks.
Canada is one of the great center of cheese
riom. and here is what a Montreal paper has to
say of the outlook:
Dairy Trade Items.
The position of cheese Is fortified Dy great
strength, the supplies on this side being nnable
to cope w ith the steady digestive requirements
of John Bull's big paunch, which has already
exhausted almost all nnest stocks to be found
in this market. In fact, the only lot of this
description left comprises about 200 boxes of
fancy September, which is held at lie liu
tglish buyers, however, are by no means discour
aged, as they are takinc what is left in good
sized lots at prices ranging from 9J10c per
pound, and at the same time are leas discrimi
nating over quality.
The situation is decidedly strong, under a
good steady demand at gradually advancing
prices for all goods below finest, this kind hav
ing been exhausted for the prcseut season, and
our English patrons will have to wait another
nine mouths before they get any more finest
teentenibeis from Montreal. They had now
better secure what Augusts are within reach
befoie the also become exhausted. With pro
vision to make for at least three months' con
sumption before new Canadian cheese can ar
rive on the other side in any quantity, it looks
as if there was about to be a good deal of bunt
ing around for even medium goods before tho
trade is a few weeks olaer. At present there
are no signs of an early spring, and probabili
ties point to the strongest wind-up that has
been experienced for years.

Bears Depress Wheat at the Opening, but
the Bulls Recover Their Grip Corn
Opens Firm and Closes Strong
Oats Strong Also.
CHICAGO-The opening price for May wheat
was 37c with sellers rather more vigorous
than the buyers, which resulted in some sales
at 97K97c. The staying power was with the
bulls, however, and the tendency In n upward
direction. During the first hair hour the fluc
tuations were between B74g7c to SfTKc. with
a preference for the upper register, whicn,after
another half hour's trading, as moved up to
9SJc and after a reaction to UTJic if was
shoved up one notch higher to Vb',QSc.
There were reports of sales at Toledo to go to
New York and at Dululh and New York for
export, The market in the latter half of the
session was stiff in the ace of a good deal of
selling by parties who bought earlier in the
day.
The corn market opened Aim, but Inactive at
.about Monday's closing price. There were
sales of May at 52J52c, and sometimes
prices remained close to those figures, but with
the encouragement of a firmer wheat market,
and good demand for cash offorinirs. Firmnes
first and later decided strength became the
characteristics of the speculative trading. May
com advanced to 63gC by easy stages, and after
several reactions and tbe highest price quoted
was being bid as the closing bell sounded, with
sales almost instantaneous thereafter at5ijc.
Oats borrowed considerable strength from
corn. The direct influences were most bullish,
though the advance in tho cereal caused an ad
vance of c The market was fairly active.
The speculative dealings in provisions showed

THE ADVAHTA6ES OP THE SYSTEM.
Electric Suffers for Want of Yenlilatlon bjr
tbe Head of the Company.
THE HEWS AND GOSSIP 0P THE CITI
Ifow that the experiment will soon be
made in Pittsburg of handling real estate on
tbe exchange 'or auction plan, information
as to the workings oi such institutions in
other cities is in order, both for encourage
ment and instruction. Mr. Alexander Leg
gate, of A. Leggate & Son. returned yester
dav from New York, where he made a
somewhat careful study of the methods pur
sued at tbe Real Estate' Exchange in that city,
tbe result of which are set forth in tbe follow
ing statement made to Tub Dispatch repre
sentative: "Having visited the Exchange and witnessed
Its practical workings, I am well impressed
with the advantages of such an institution in
all cifies where transactions in real estate are
large and important. The auction department
is the most attractive. The room is about 40x
80 feet, situated on Liberty street, near Broad
way. There are 20 auctioneers' stands ranged
along both side. On this occasion only one
auctioneer was engaged, yet the room was full
of parlies interested. Some days several auc
tioneers will be selling at the same time, which
makes things decidedly lively. The great ad
vantage is having a central room is that all
sales can be conducted at this point, very much
to the comfort of everybody concerned. In
stead of a dozen or more isolated sales occurring
at remotely distant parts of the city, all can be
operated at one point, thereby enabling the
same buyer to purchase more than one prop
erty on h'ame day.
"AH the brokers and auctioneers with whom
I conversed advised strongly tbe establishment
of such methods in Pittsburg. The manager,
Mr. Hardwicke, who has had charge of the
Exchange from its inception, was particularly
courteous in showing every attention 10 in
quirers: He stated that narperi Magazine of
November. 1888. contained af all account of the
opening exercises. It also contains excellent
likenesses of a few of the leading auctioneers.
All interested should possess a coj.y."
Slow bat Sure Growth.
The race is not always to the swift. It has
happened that a year that started off with a
rnsb ended in disaster. Trade movements
have been rather tardy so far, but they are Im
proving. Every day imparts a forward im
pulse. Conditions are sound, and there is no
likelihood of a backset, Tbe business of the
country is remarkably heavy considering all
tbe drawbacks to which it is subjected. There
are sUll numerous good reasons for saying that
an enormous volume of business will be
transacted this year. Business men of
all grades and in all channels are feeling their
way carefully along, avoiding indebtedness,
keeping in sight all requirements, and manu
facturing and handling only as many goods as
are absolutely necessary. This policy, of
course, postpones disaster and makes the situa
tion much safer and stronger than it would te
otherwise. Tbe entire country is preparing for

Electric Suddenly Loses Interest as a Draw
ing Card The Beason Why.
Tbe sudden change which Klectric under
went from activity to comparative dullness was
the feature at tbe Stock Exchange yesterday.
Sales pf this stock yesterday were 159 shares,
against 1,222 the previous day, with nothing
done at the last call. , . .
There was little disposition on either side to
operate in the absence of information from
beaaquarters. While all hoped Mr. Westing
bouses expectations would be realized, fears
of a different result were expressed on all
sides. The latter view, bowever, is the merest
surmise. Still, It is sufficient to cause distrust,
and to it is due the sndden loss of interest in
tbe stock. , . .
The only other stock that attracted nruch at
tention was Luster', which developed unex
pected recuperative power in selling up to lo,
against 11 at the close of Mondav. Philadel
phia Gas about held its own, as did the Trac
tions. Tbe rest of the list was featureless.
Total sales were 468 shares.

Yery Little Movement in Oil, With s "Weak
Finish.
But little interest was taken in oil yesterday.
There was a sale of 2J03O barrels at 76c This
was the top price. The lowest and closing was
78c
The weakness was attributed to two or three
wells about due, ot which considerable is ex
pected, but as this was offset by high water
stopping drilling in some places, the conditions
were about equal. The scarcity ot orders is a'
better explanation.
There was no change" in refined. Average
run:, 73,220 barrels; average shipments, 65,009
barrels. There was a cood deal of talk about
Sending legislation at Harrisburir. The Burdlck

NEW YOBK STOCKS.
A Day of Unusual Excitement on Wall
Street The Cutting Down of the Bur
lington Dividend Drives Down
That Stock Silver Down.
New York, Feb. 17. The market this morn
ing was excited. The news from tbe West in
regard to tbe railroad situation was con
sidered very favorable, bnt the effect of this
was merely to keep prices firm to strong with
out stimulating aur activity anywhere in the
list. .The Howl that tbe directors of the Bur-'
lington and Quincy were in session In Boston,
however, made a little life in that stock, es
pecially toward noon, the general supposition
being that tbe suspense In the matter of the
dividend would be ended by the declar
ation of the usual 14 per cent tor the quarter.
On this there was a moderate amount of buy
iug for a turn, ana tbe price was run up l?g per
cent, but when the announcement was made
that the dividend had been cut down to 1 per
cent, there was a rush to get out, the buyers of
tbe morning hours being specially anxious to
throw overboard their loads.
A great deal of long stock came out. however,
from those who have been holding on for some
time, and only one firm stood in tbe breach as
buyers until late In the day, when, after a drop
of 3 per cent Irom its best figure, a slight rally
was bad on the covering of the shorts put out
earlier.
Tbe shortness of the corn crop receives the
blame for tbe decrease in tbe earnings of tbe
Burlington, and naturally tbe corn roads suf
fered most in tbe decline which followed, Roek
Island in particular. All the Grangers, bow
ever, were hurt materially, and outside of them
and a few specialties, including Silver certifi
cates, there was little or no interest lu the deal
ings. The decline in Silver made further sub
stantial progress, and more activity was shown
in them than for a long time. A loss of nearly
2 cents was the result of tbe operations of tbe
day in them.
The general list was inclined to advance
slowly until tbe break in Burlington came,
wben all the improvement of the forenoon was
lost and fractions In addition; and while there
was no activity outside of the stocks men
tioned, everything closed lower" than last even
ing. Tbe market closed quiet but weak at
about tbe lowest prices ot tbe day, Burlington
losing 2 per cent: Silver, Hi; Rock Island.
WbeelincandLako Erie, Northwestern. 1,
and Pacific Mail, 1; Western Union and Union
Pacific each per cent.
Tbe business in railroad bonds dwindles trom
day to day, and has now reached the nsual mid
summer rtenres. To-aay the total transactions
were only $998,000. Among tbe losses scored to
day. Brooklyn Elevated declined 2, to R5, and

The Moon Run Developments Probably In
a Separate Fool "Wells on the Goss
Farm, at Coraopolls No New Wells at
Wildwood Yesterday.
Tbe manufacturers of wrought iron pipe
and tubes held a long session at tbe Mouon
gabela House yesterday. Every firm en
gaged in this business was represented.
There was no change in the schedule of
price. The agents throughout the oil regions
of the different firms also met at the Mononga
hela and transacted business of importance
Probably a Separate Pool.
-SPECIAL TXLKQBAX TO T1IS D'BFATCB.1
CortAOPOLis, Feb. 17. The recent develop
ments at Moon .postoffice, three miles west of
tbe nearest producing well on the southwest of
tbe Coraopolls or Fmnegan field, has been at
tracting a good deal of attention. This new de
velopment may or may not be an extension of
the Coraopolls field. Indications rather poiht
to the conclusion tbat it is a separate pool, and
the direction Is against the theory ot a con
nection. The first welt drilled here on tbe Goss farm
by Harvey Bros, & Co. is closely estimated to be
a 25 to 30 barrels per day pumper. The well on
the McCutchenn tarm, due south of tbe Goss
well, not over 1,600 feet, which is also owned by
Hervey & Co., was drilled in about the 7th in
stant, and has since been shot twice, and it is
claimed is showing far a better well than the
"Goss," havme better and more sand.
Hervey & Co. have a good deal of the unde
veloped territory in the vicinity of these wells,
and good bonuses have been paid bv other oil
men for leases in tbe vicinity, of these two
Hervey wells and other test wells being
drilled, bnt this is not convincing proof of tbe
value or extent of the territory.
Heivey & Co. have located a well on the Mc
Fadden farm, 50 rods sontheast of their Mc
Cutcheon well. They have also located two
more wells on tbe Goss farm and one other on

SPRING SUGGESTIONS.
Avoid draughts and sudden changes of tem
perature. Do not discard your warm winter clothing too
soon. It is better to suffer a little inconveni
ence than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially liable to con
tract a bad cojd or cblU at this season of the
year.
A-cougbor cold contracted between tbe sea
sons Is the most annoying kind, and may last
through tbo summer.
If you feel a cougb or a cold coming on take
a drink ot pure wblskey at once It will keep
the blood in circulation and is the best pre
ventive against the diseases of the season.
Remember tbat only puce whiskey should be
taken. Daily's Pure' Malt Whiskey has the
strongest recommendations from tbe leading
scientists and medical men.' It is tbe only
standard medicinal tMitnv. Taka no other
J from your druggist or grocer. "W

Country "Produce Jobbing Prices.
Elgin creamery butter has been advanced 2c
perpoundat sources of supply. The high price
has curtailed demand, the average consumer
having a preference for oleo at the present
price of, creamery. Cheese is active and firm
and choice grades readily bring outside'quota
tlons. Supply of eggs has exceeded demand
for a few days past, and markets are weak and
slow at the decline. Potatoes are Arm and
markets are higher than they have been for a
week or two past. Other vegetables are slow.
Tropical fruits are quiet. Florida oranges are
poor stock at inside quotations. Since apples
and oranges .became about equally expensive,
as they have been ot late, there has been a gen
eral expectation of better demand and higher
prices for the fruits of the tropics. But so far
these expectations bave been doomed to disap
pointment. I'ouurv continues scarce anu urm.

to account for in view of the fact that prices
