TH5T PITTSBURG- ICE TO BE CHEAPER. The Kataral Crop of Ice in This Vicinity Is Small, I5nl S1ACHLNKS ABLE TO MEET DEMAND. The Advance in Wheat Is Sore to Raise Prico of Flonr Soon. VARIOUS VIEWS AS TO COFFEE CROP office r Prrrsnciio Dispatch, I Tuesday. March 31. Nature's crop of ice this season would cut a eorry figure iu supplying the wauts of trade iu this city. Jack IVost failed to do anv satisfactory work the past winter in this latitude. The only pood yield in this line was about 200 miles north ol Pittsburg. Said a representative of the Chautauqua Company: "Our crop of ice from the ponds jn this vicinity amounts to little or nothing tins season. At Pine creek, below Sharpsburc, ana at Lal.rvillc and Ravenna, O., where we li ne pond-, and storage houses, the yield of Ice from U3tur.il sources has been next to n thine the past winter. At Chautau q ia we hate been able to All our li.iuse with a good ouality or ice which vanes (romlltolS mcbes'iu thickness, bo far ne hare been able to supply our customers with at ; iticial ice. and do not expect to draw much on tile natural product until warm weather." Owing to the great scarcltj and high i rices of ice the past lour years there has been developed a s:mi; moenient for artificial ice. In the tocnif there are now in operation hve Ice pioduciug machines with a capacity ol 400 tons oailj. Two can ago there were no ice mak ing " m.ichinca in the city, outside of the breweries The machines in operation now xro not fullj ready for btismoss last summer until tho reason ua nearly over. Non they are fut.y equipped for turning out all the ice needed, and will be until the hot weather. The cost nf ice to the consumer will be ery much less the coming seai-on than ii. was last J ear. J-r small cellverj the price last summer was 12c per ten pounds. The coming season it will be 8; for the same quantity. In 54-pound lots the jince last summer was 50c per en t while tiie cominc summer the price will be Itfc for the ime amount. The reduced costot ice is au important item in butchers' expenses, as the ex po ilc of prerviug meat the coming summer will be not above one-halt whit it was last pcsgu. Said a Diamond Maiket butcher: "M expenses for ice alone went up tn 525S for a single month last summer. 1 l.en 1 paid as high as 50c per 100 pounds. Now 1 can make contracts at less than 20c per hun dred. 1 he reduction in our ice bill, however, will haidly offset the increased cost of cattle since laM summer." t lour Is Pittsburg is low as compared with the price ot wheal, and pro-pects are for an ad v into in price or the staff of life. It wheat i.oeps uiii m up Hour must inevitably advance. The niilK Ime already advanced prices so that dealers cannot now lay down stock and sell at a j rolit at present quotations. How far the rue in wheat has been speculative will be de termined within a few days. That the laic ad vance has bad a legitimate bjtis is certain, vpetrlators, howevcr.have undoubtedly wonted iur bull movement for more than . as in it. S'me fancj brands of spring patent flour are .. lead selling a shade above our outride quo a ions, ard Irom present outlook higher prices v ill be established at an early day. - to coffee the supply in this line is reported . hint, lighter man It foa been at this time tor "the past three years. The crop ot coffee i s been below average for two years past. 1 i.e e is a corflu t of opinions as tn the coming i op v b'Ch will be harvested in the next month i iwo. The month or April furnishes the bo L of crop. 2 here are fears of another season of short cojis, and the next few weeliS will tell the tale.

Railroads -Preparins: to Handle a Larger Vol nine of Traffic. PUKCHASE MONEY MORTGAGES. Sickness Among ileal Estate Agents Dis closes Tbeir Importance. TIIE KEWS AND GOSSIP OP'THB CITI It is understood that the Baltimore find Ohio Railroad will soon begin the erecting of a roundhouse, shops and offices on the ground recently purchased at Glenwood. The Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston road is building machine shops and making other improvements at the new town of Dawson. It was mentioned a few days ago that a locsl railroad bad purchased a tract of land near the city for yard and switch purposes. Although nothing definite has leaked out in regard to this deal, the road in question is supposed to be the Panhandle and Sheridan station the place. Considerable significance attaches to these movements. The fact that the railroads find it necessary to en large their facilities to meet the growing de mands of business, is satisfactory evidence of a prosperous condition of things in Pittsbnrg aud of confidence in tho future. Purchase Money Mortgages. There are people who look npon a mortgage as the last resort to obviate disaster. Just as a ship's crew sacrifice everything to save the vessel going down in the storm. This is true when the mortgage is placed to raise money to engage in hazardous buslness,or in speculation, but not otherwise. There is very little of this kind ot indebtedness in Pitt6bnrg or Allegheny county. Purchase money mortgages are poor men's investments. In placing them they an ticipate the capital which they represent. The cost Is met from the increments of business or labor, and the principal forms a fund to fall back on in case of -need. Such mortgages have a market value the same as bonds or stocks, for they represent substantial improvements in the way of new buildings or betterment of old ones, and in this way promote the pros perity ot the city. The money thus invested Is fixed capital, and not subject to the exigencies ot ordinary trade. A purchase money mort gage is not in the true sense an increase of in debtedness. The man who, by such means, changes his position from tenant to proprietor cannot justly be said to have added to his bur den. On the contrary, be has put himself in a way to own the roof over his bead as a pro vision against sickness or old age. Purchjs: money mortgages are all right. They are transforming Pittsburg into a city of homes. Ileal Estate Agents. Probably halt ot the real estate agents of the city are suffering from the grip. Some are confined to their homes, and others are barely able to be about. Some of them feel like hustling. This accounts for the paucity of transactions during the past few days. Tbere Is nobody to riush business. What could bet ter set forth the value of the real estate agent to the business interests of the city than the fact that even his temporary retirement from active duty restricts the volume of trade? Were he to withdraw altogether real -estate would soon cease to be a leading interest. Some people go upon the principle that agents are not essential to transfers, and that property would be bought and sold without them. That is true to an extent only. The agent has bis list of buyers; bo makes a business of it, and saves the buyer the trouble and time involved in going from house to house for something to suit him. This expedites business. The tact that nearly all the business in real estate is now transacted through agents proves their importance to the community. The real estate agent is doing a good work, and he is here to stay. Business News and Gossip. There were ten rainy days In Starch. Contracts for hve business houses on Franks town avenue and Station street. Hast End, were signed at the office of Black & Balrd yes terday. The owner is Miss Mary P. Hemple. T. C. McKce Is the architect. Plans are being discussed for two school houses in the Fourth ward, Allegheny. The firm of C. Beringer & Son has been changed to W. C Beringer A Co., the former senior putting bis son at the head, to as to give bim opportunity to devote more time to bis peisonal interests. An excursion train, under the direction of J. F. Baxter, ot Baxter, Thompson & Co.. will leave this city on the evening of the 7th. con vey ing a large number of Pittsburgers to Syla cauga. Ala., to attend the opening sale of build ing lots at that place on the 9th inst. Low rates have been secired. Reed B. Coyle A Co. are about closing a 510. 000 deal in coal land. It Is understood that before the Boston di rectors of the Switch and Signal Company left for home thev made an offer to sell their stock 10 the Westinghouse people, and that this is now under consideration. Ira M. Bnrchfield made a short move. He did not change bis number, but traded up stairs for downstairs rooms, which are nicely fitted up. The Building Record.

The record lor the first quarter of 1891 was made up yesterday. As compared with 1S90, it shows a deficit, that for the month jus: ex pired amounting tn almost 510,000,000, aud the total to nearly 530.000.00a It should be remembcicd, however, that 1890 opened with a boom and closed in disaster. It put its best loot foremost. The reverse of this is true now. The first thrco months of 1891 have bocn full ot distrust and foreboding. That business has held up so well is not a little sur prising. The steady improvement noted on several occasions lately indicates that the worst is over and that the impulse from this time forward will be in the right direction. By going back to 18S9 It will be seen that business of the two periods shows very little difference. The bank clearings for aiarch of the former year were 552,735,140 51; this year tbey are 552.578.S00 73. Clearings or January and February of that year, as compared with the same months this year, snow a small bal ance in favor of 1891. This fact Is sufficient to show a healthy state of affairs, since 1889 was conceded to be the best year in the history of the city up to that time. The causes for any depression that "may exist have been pointed out so often as to bo well known and understood. It would be unreason able to expect greater activity than exists with half the people sick and the other half com plaining. It'a a long lane that has no turn. In the nature of things there must be a change for the better bctore long. Courage and per. severance will bring tbings around all right.

A Slow Market, With Firm Values and a Few Gains Electric the "Weakest Spot Friends of Switch and Signal Are In Good Spirits. The sessions of the Stock Exchange yester day were the lean interesting for a long time. The first two calls passed without a sale and there were only two at the third 110 shares of Electric going at 11J. The expense for chalk was very light. While the feeling was rather offish there was very little sagging of prices, the only thing; sub mitting to a material concession being Electric Phiiadelnhia Gas, Switch and Signal ?nd Lus ter added small fractions to their credit, and the rest of the list about held its own. News was as scarce as business. Switch and Signal affairs were mentioned in a guarded sort of way, the bulk of opinion seeming to tavor the idea that the action of the meeting would strengthen the company. This feeling vras reflected in a slight advance in the stock. As to Electric nobody professed to know anything not already laid before the public No movement of any sort is looked for before the 20tb, at which time it is expected, and with a good show of reason, that something will be done by somebody to bring matters to a bead. The strength of the stock shows that holders hare faith in the result. Bids and offers were: Balances for thedav Kxchanges Tor the month , Kalances for the month Exchanges Mareh. IfiQfl...

NEW YOKE STOCKS. Grangers and Industrials Monopolize the Interest In Share Final Changes Slight, Dnt In tho Direction of Lower Prices Bonds Lively, New York. March 31. To-day's stock mar ket soon became a repetition of those of the past two weeks, and all the interest in it was confined to the Grangers and Industrial', the strength in the latter Deing accompanied by a rumor that pools in them were preparing for a bull campaign. The rise in Sugar, based on the supposed deal by the trust with the Sprock ets, collapsed upon denials of the story, but, like all other stocks, there was no real weak ness displayed in it, and the greater portion of the advance was retained. The Grangers were still the prominent group, and the fluctuations in all of them were con fired to very small limits, but outride of Wheel in and Lake Erie preferred and one or two specialties, tbere was no marked changes in' values during tun euurc uay, mo nuctuaiinns being confined to the smallest limits and the instances where the extreme was 1 per cent are very few. The opening was made ou a spurt of activity and strength, and with first figures slightly higher, furtuer small gains were scored in the early dealings, while Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred rose ljjj per cent to 73. The reof the market, however, felt the want of support, and realizations among the traders followed with the result of bringing prices over the entire list slightly be low those of the opening. The market then baited, but developed a firm tone in the after noon, without material change in prices, and only a portion of the morning's loss was recov ered. Money showed a slight hardening tendency in the last hour, and heaviness again marked the dealing?, the close being rather heavy but dull at closo to the lowest prices of the day, which, however, was only small fractions be low those ot last evening. The final changes in all cases are for small fractions only, thougb generally in vne uirecuon 01 lower prices. Railroad bonds were a little more animated, and displayed In general a steady to firm tone, most of the final changes ot note being ad vances. The sales reached 51.122,000, out of which Atchison incomes furnished 5122,000.

SPRING STJGGESTION& 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 cold or chill at this season of the year. A cough or cold contracted between the sea sons is the most annoying kind, and may last through the summer. If you feel a cough or a cold coming on take a drink of pure whiskey at once. It will keep the blood in circulation and is the best pre ventive against,the diseases of the season. Remember that only pure whiskey should be taken. Duffy's .Pure Malt Whiskey has tho strongest recommendations trom the leading scientists and medical men. It Is the only standard medicinal whiskey. Take no other from your druggist or grocer.
