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.
At tae cret'i t ;oht'ers are ta:rjingvery light

pti pound if the highest point reached iu the

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.

MONEY MARKET.
The Story of the First Quarter of the Present
Tear.
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.
Tho following is the Clearing House report
fo-the day and month, with comparisons with
1890 and 18S9. There is nothing In it to cry over,
but much, when everything is coasidered. to bo
prond of.

The first two calls passed without a sale and
there were only two at the third 110 shares of

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

No movement of any sort is looked for before

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. W

The Elgin creamery butter market Is weak
and prices show a dovrnward tendency. The
olferings at Elgin were small on Monday, but
in spite of small offerings, drift of markets all
the week has been toward a lower leveL A
decline of 2c per pound will be duo hereon
Friday. Tho egg market is weak with a ten
dency toward lower prices. At Cincinnati eggs
are now 15c per dozen and at St. Louis 14c per
dozen. A 15c market is looked for by dealers
before the week is out. Qood cheese is good
stock at present prices. Supply of maple
syrup and sugar is in excess of demand, aud a
drop in prices is likely to come with the fall in
sugar. Potatoes of good quality are firm at
quotations. Other vegetables are weak and
slow.

Groceries.
Sugar quotations are reduced on an average
2c per pound, a fact due to the drop of the
Government tax due April 1. Granulated
sugar should from now on retail for from IS to
20 pounds for a dollar. Coffees are firm enough
to go up higher. Corn syrup shows an upward
tendency, owing to high-priced corn. The
movement ot general groceries is more active
this week than last, but, with the exceptions
noted, prices are unchanged.

THE SKIN.
Is an important factor in keeping
good health; if it does not act in the
way intended by nature, its functions
are performed by other organs,
the Sidneys and the Lungs; and the
result is a breakdown of general health.
Swift's Specific
is the remedy of nature to stimulate
the skin to proper action. It never
fails in this, and always accomplishes
the purpose.
