has increased so much during the last two
or three years that school facilities are in
adequate to requirements, and to supply
this want and make provision for further
development the School Board has de
termined to erect an additional schoolbouse.
As the first and most important step in this
direction the board has purchased irom Mr.

property, the other part of which fronts
on Boqu'et street, 238x175 feet in size.for $24,000,

ant, it is said. Is the husband of one of the
heirs. His claim will be focght through all
the courts, if necessary.
Found Where He Was Wrong.
A well known business man was relieved of
one of his pessimistic notions yesterday. He
entered the office of a Fifth avenue real estate
broker, looking down bis nose and running over
with bearish sentiment. "Everything is going
wrone," he said. "The bottom has fallen out
of business. Money is awfully tight I want to
borruw some and can't get it." Have you
triedf quietly replied the broker. "No. but
my friends say I couldn't get it if 1 did, money
is so very tight." How much do you wantT"
queried the broker. "About $10,000." "What
have you to put up for itt" "Business
proporty on Fifth avenue." "Bring your
deed around, and I will get the monev for you
berore night at 6 per cent." The deed was
brought around and before3 o'clock the gentle
man bad the $10,050 safely tucked away In his in
side pocket. As he was leaving tbe office he
remarked: "I guess my friends were mistaken.
Money can't be Bcarce when you had so little
trouble to get it at to low a rate. Maybe busi
ness is better than I think. I feel encouraged."
Thore are scores of people in Pittsburg who
would do well to make a personal application
of this incident

The Hotel bcheme.
Concerning tbe prospects of the hotel syndi
cate, it can be said, without injury to anyone,
that they are not up to expectations. Three
sites have been carefully examined, but no se
lection has been mdde. Pnee is the only ob
jection to either of them. But there Is a greater
difficulty than this. Tbe monev end of the
deal is being worked, in New York, and the
effort to seenre funds there is slow and unsatis
factory. There is no probability of the aban
donment of the project, but it is more than
likely that the promoters will bo compelled to
rely upon Pittsburg capital in the end.
The Connty Buildings.
The County Commissioners are getting tired
of having tbe University building on their
hands indefinitely, and have autnorized the

nonrt bulldine from sale, as they expect to
have use for it as soon as the use of coal is re
sumed. c

weather the worst of all. Sales were 201 shares,
nearly all Electric. S iritch and Signal was the
only otner active stock. Sales for the week
were 2.275 shares, the bulk of which was furn
ished by Electric and Philadelphia Gas.
The events of the week were the revolution
in the management of the Union Switch and
Signal Company and the deposition of Mr.
Rowand. Theso matters caused considerable
talk, but tbe infusion of newbloed and en
ergy into the directory was looked upon with
favor by tbe business part of the community,
and this feeling was reflected in the improve
ment of tbe stock. What move Mr.
Rowand will make, if any, to recover lost
ground, remains to bo seen.
Electric was weak on call yesterday, but was
stronger on tbo street In tho afternoon on the
appearance of a few local orders. There was
no outride demand for it.
Philadelphia Gas was rather dumpish on re-
Sorts of scarcity of fuel in all parts of tbe city,
o one appeared to be bnngry for the stock.
Railroads were in good demand, but the dif
ference between sellers and buyers was so wide
that nothing was dona.
There was more than the usual number of
bids for Insurance stocks, denoting that invest
ors have not been frightened away by tbe recent
fire losses. ,
Luster was weaker, being offered down to 14,'
with 12 bid. There were the usual bids and
offers on Tractions.
Closing prices of the activo interests as com
pared with those of the previous Saturday,
show gains and losses about equally divided,
Switch and Signal showing most improvement
and Luster the heaviest loss. Sales yesterday

Two Hours' Business in Shares Equals the
Trading of All the Rest of the Week
Usual Stagnation In the
General List.
New Yoke, March 14. Tho stock market to
day displayed, unexpectedly, considerable ani
mation, and tho business of tbe two hours was
equal to most of tbe full days for the past
week. There was a strong tone throughout the
session, and material advances were made in
somo of tho leading stocks, especially with tbe
promise of a continuance of the upward move
ment into next y, eek.
The opening was generally firm, though
rather irregular, but was followed by a de
cidedly strong market, in which special activity
and strength were shown in Lackawanna, Bur
lington, St. Paul and many specialties. There
was a rush to sell Lackawanna at the opening,
but it soon became evident that there were
supporting orders in tne stock, all the offers
being accepted with considerable bidding for
the stock. The bears withdrew their forces in
the face of this manipulation, and nothing was
left to oppose the upward bent of tbe market.
There was the usual dullness and stagnation
in the general list, but tbe stocks mentioned
were joined by some others, while among the
specialties Rome, Watortown and Ogensburg
continued to advance rapidly on slight sales,
and scored a final gam of 8 per cent, closing at
tbe highest price. National Cordage, Colorado
v;oai ana otuerB were conspicuous lor strengtn,
which continued right up to the close, notwith
standing a further loss of the banks' reserve,
which is now brought below $10,000,000 for the
first time in somo weeks. The usual realizing
sales in the last few minutes had scarcely any
perceptible influence on the list, and the close
was quiet and firm at the best figures.
Railroad bonus displayed the usual light
transactions, without feature of any kind. The
sales reached $465,000.
Tho exports oi specie from the port of 'New
York last week amounted to $623,512, of which
$234,237 was in gold and $389,275 silver, the
imports of specie during the week amounted to
$108,910, of which $107,300 was in gold and $1,610
silver.

SOME GOOD SYMPTOMS.
THE STOCK MAEKET HOT LIKELY TO
EEHAET DULL LOIN.
Encouraging Facts Abont Last Tear's Crops
Railroads Looking Up Favorable Re
ports From London The Argentine Re
public's Prospects.
tSrXCTAI. TBXIQBAX TO THB CISPATrH.!
New Yoek, March 11 In bis weekly review
of Onanoe Henry Clews says: The stock mar
ket retains the extreme dullness and tbe wait
inc attitude noted in my last weekly advices.
Transactions have been largely confined to
room traders, and very restricted at that, and
such attempts as there have been to create a
movement in a few specialties were quickly
abandoned. Ent while transactions hare been
so limited In volume, certain symptoms have
appeared which have teuded to,encouraze a
more hopeful feeling;. Tho reports of railroad
earnings have not, as a rule, confirmed the
lata encouraging anticipations, but show that
there is a freer movement of trade in the
interior than has been supposed to ex
ist. Tbe latest Government crop report
confirms an impression that has been
growing among handlers of grain that the ear
lier estimates of the Bureau of Agriculture
underrated the out-turn of last year's cereal
crops, especially those of wheat and corn. This
was an unexpected boon to the corn-carryme
roadi: while the Western shares at large were
benefited by the "iisrniflcant and unexpected re
jection by the Kinsas Legislature ot all bills
adverse to tbe interests of tho railroads. A fav
orable impression was produced also by tbe ap
pearance of London orders for certain stocks,
which was construed as indicating the begin
ning of a revival of the speculative interest in
American seennties On that market. The more
Importance is attached to this latter symptom
because it Is accompanied with other evidences
of an improving feeling at London.
A certain degree of distrust about the out
come of Argentine affairs is likely to remain
until all possibility of f urtber disaster is re
moned. Bnt it is a hopeful factor that tbe
large financial and commercial houses of Ar
gentina havo combined in a guarantee to vir
tually taKe care of tho Buenos Ayres end of
tbe difficulty, which is calculated to strengthen
the bands of committed parties at tbe London
end. The more this Argentine complication is
looked into and understood, the more the con
viction seems to gain gronnd that, while un
questionably there bas been a vast over crea
tion of credit and speculative enterprise, yet it
has been connected with a wonderful growth of
solid industrial investment. The break-down
in Argentina Is very much in the nature of our
own eras et extravagant over construction of
railroad. A country with snch vast tracts of
land of unsurpassed fertility, and with a yearly
Influx or 150,000 fine immigrants, is bound to
rise from a nrotration of the kind that has be
fallen the Argentine Republic. Ic Is probable
there will not be wanting capitalists who per
ceive the golden opportunity afforded by the
present depreciation of Argentine proper
ties, and the stage may be nearer than is sup
posed when their purchases will come In as an
ameliorating factor in the now iloomy sltua
tieii. In the meantime, htwtrsr, It U,qult
possible that such variations in the course ot
the Argentine readjustments as occurred on
Thursday, in case of a large Parts banking in
stitution, may occasionally cause temporary re
vivals of distrust; but, so far, there has been in
all such cases a disposition among strong houses
to join hands to protect tbe embarrassed.
With the signs of a favorable turn in affairs
foreign and domestle above indicated, there it
reason for hope for some early improvement in
the situation. In the meantime, there is scope
for fair profits on buying upon moderate drops.
Tbe currency movement at tbe banks for the
past week shows a net loss of $1,600,000 with tbe
interior, and a net gain with the sub-Treasury
of $800,000, making a total net loss of $1,000,000.
WALL STBEET GOSSIP.

The Inter-State Commerce Decision Stops m
Bull Movement Silver Steady.
Watson 4 Gibson give a variety of interest
ingnews and gossip in the subjoined telegraphic
letter to John il.'Oakleyi Co.:
The decision yesterday in the suit of Coxa
Bros, against the Lehigh Valley Road was ad
verse to all the coal carriers, and it was not par
ticularly expected yesterday any more than at
any time within a year. Yet with the pervers
ity of stock markets the coalers are less ac
tually advanced to-day. The general market
yesterday was rallying sharply until the an
nouncement of the lnter-Stato decision which
arrested the progress of prices.
This morning tbe bull movement was resumed
and quotations ran np without hindrance and
the bears ran rapidly to covor. It was not on
news but the aggressiveness of a few bulls
seems to be the chief cause ot putting the bears
to flight. The bank statement was not up to
expectations, showing a loss in reserves of over
a million', but bank statements are not specially
influential just now, for no ono apprehends
actual stringency.
The market reacted a little at tbe close, but
the bulls were sufficiently in control to enable
sido interests having yet been awakened. We
doubt if tbe public can be enlisted in support
of tbe cliques who would like to make a market
to unload on, and we therefore believe that
within a few days, it not Monday afternoon,
tbe market will bo lower, and probably it will
again grow dull. To-day it had at least the
virtue of activity. Lead Trust sold ex-dlri-dend.
We bear bull talk on Sugar Trust.
Silver was steady, and we believe it will grad
ually work higher.

MARKETS BY WIEE.
Wheat Loses Its Grip Contradictory He
ports Tbe Shorts Cause a Bally Corn
and Oats Lower Good Bayinn;
Helps Provisions to Becover.
CHICAGO Tbe- tendency in wheat was
downward to-day. Tbe news was of a mixed
character. BradstrecFt estimates that the supply
in farmers' hands and in the elevators of the
country amounts to 155,000,000 bushels and
argned therefrom that bread would be scarce
ere anotber harvest. On the other hand, the
weather was clear, though cold, giving ground
for the opinion that the coming crop will be
plentiful.
May wheat opened with sellers at $1 OIJi
compared with $1 01 bid on the previous
afternoon, and it sold oft another at once.
The St. Louis export news and BradttreeVt es
timates caused a a temporary reaction to
$1 02, after which tbe market became very
heavy and declined gradually to $1 01H and very
rapidly after getting under tbe last figure, un
til finally tbe crowd became anxious sellers for
a few moments at $1 0C. with some sales at
SI O0VSI1 00! There was some reaction from
tbe lowest prices, due to tbe taking of profits
by the shorts, the closing price for May being
$1 00 sellers.
Corn came down into the hands of buyers in
unexpected quantities. Liquidation was con
tinued on a heavier scale. There was nothing
to account for tbe change. Nothing bas been
changed regarding the speculative situation
but tbe sentiment ot the crowd. With a few
minor reactions, tbe general tendency during
tbe session was downward.
Oats opened weak and lower. There were a
few sales of May around 61c, when the price
went off quickly to file. Uue market gained
strength, and the top price of the day was made
at &c Free selling, led bv McCormlck,
caused a break to 50c. A recoverv to 50c,
which was the last price, indicated a decline lor
the day ot Die The market was fairly active
after tbe opening until the last hour, when
there was very little doing.
The provision trade recovered its tone to a
moderate degree, after opening weak in sym
pathy with corn and in consequence of con
tinued heavy receipts of bogs. There was a
good deal ot produce for sale,
but there were also plenty of buyers,
and in the end tbe latter were in the
greater cumber. May pork opened at $10 60
10 65, sold early in tbe day at $10 00, recovered
to $10 80, and closed at $10 77K. or at tho same
price as on Friday.
Lard was also weak early, and Arm to strong

IvOtjisttlle, March 14. William T.
Cundiff, of Tesas, obtained a judgment in
the Federal Court here yesterday for 510.000
damages. Three years ago Candit? lived
near Columbia, Ky., and for some reason
was uupopular. One night 20 of his neigh
bors came to his house to carry out a threat
previously made to flog him. He met them
with a shotgun and killed Tarlton Brad
ihaw, one oi their number.
Soon after he moved to Texas. In 1889
he was brought back upon an indictment
for the murdeV of Bradsbaw, but was ac
quitted. His trial cost him heavily, and he
at once began suit to recover. His judg
ment is against well-to-do eitizens near
Columbia.

CnroiNNATi, March 14. The steamer
Alexander Montgomery, used for harbor
work, suddenly careened last night while
tied up near the dry docks and in a few
minutes sank, her cabin parting from the
bull and floating.
Th'e night watchman, Charles Duncan,
and his brother John were the only occu
pants. They heard an ominous sound as of
breaking and escaped. They have no knowl
edge of the cause of the accident. The
steamer was worth 7,500.

Mix one heaping teaspoonful
of baking powder with one tea
spoonful of water in a tin cup ;
boil thoroughly for a few
moments, stir to prevent burning,

can smell it in the rising steam.
Note. As baking powder, when first
thrown into the water, will effervesce,
care should be taken not to mistake
bubbling for boiling.

Jlr. Ebrhart, a plasterer bj occupation,
makes the following statement concerning hi
recent sufferinc and tbe prompt relief civea
blm by Dr. Byors:
'MIy trouble came on about one year ago,"
says Sir. Ebrhart, "with neuralgic pain over
the eyes. My nostrils would clog up, first on
one side aud then tbe other, and during the
night there was a continual drorjpln; of mucus
into my throat, causing rue to hawk and spit
constantly with annoying roaring in tbe ears.
After awhile my stomach became affected. I
bad a bad taste in my mouth in the moraines,
my appetite left me, and what little I ate
caused a bloated np feeling and general dis
tress. I often got such dizzy spells I would
stagger, and.-althoucb I slept pretty well, I
would get up In the morning more tired tban
when I went to bed.
JSfr. T. J. Ehrharl. No. 9 Garland Alley, City.
"Two weeks before consulting Dr. Byers all
tbese symptoms became aggravated by a cold,
and the day I called at bis office I suffered such
agonizing pain I bid to bold my head In my
bands and groan. After a carefnl examination
the doctor told me the pain was caused by a
catarrhal Inflammation of tbe nasal mucus
membrane, lie gave me a treatment at once
and some medicine to take borne. The pain
was considerably relieved at once, aid when I
awoke in the morning, was gone entirely. I
bad bnt one return since and that in a modi
fled form, which the dootor relieved as quickly
as befote. and under bis careful treatment all
tbe otber symptoms bave disappeared, and 1
am gaining in strengtb and flesh dailv."

Tbe public will please no' e the fact that Dr.
Byers is in personal cbarge of bis large and in.
creasing practice. By bis careful and con
scientious treatment it has grown to such pro
portions that be sees from 0 to 100 patients
dally, and as this demand on bis strength is
very exhausting, he begs patients to observe
office hours-very clo'ely In order to allow him
