MAEKETS BY WIRE.
Not Much Snap In the Grain Pita Wheat a
Trifle Higher Corn and Oats Tame
Provisions Score a Hand-
some Advance.
CHICAGO The trading in speculatives was
not animated to-day. In the wheat market the
big local operators were alternately buying and
selling in a way to make it difficult to say upon
which side they did the most. Wheat averaged
firm, and was principally affected by the accu
mulating evidence that England and France
required and cre taking considerable quan
tities grown on the Atlantic slope. The close
was at an advance of about lc over yesterday's
closing quotation.
The Government crop report was bearish and
early cables were easier, opening price for May
was abont as it closed yesterday and a good
many selling orders were in the hands of brok
ers at the opening; buyers, however, prepon
derated, and from around SI 031 03J there
was an almost immediate jump to 1 04. The
advance was well maintained for the next two
hours, with an occasional further gain of Jc
A at. Louis dispatch advising 200.000 bushels
loaded in barges here yesterday and to-day and
a further 100,000 bushels to go out early next
week together with a strong market cabled
from Paris cauEed a sudden bulge in May to
SI 0 and July, which started at SI 02 and
had been maintaining Itself around SI 0-',i,
made a jump to SI 03t The feeling was firm
In the end without much accession of activity.
May. which sold as high as SI 04. closed at
SI 04 bid, and Jnlv. which had touched to
SI 03, closed at SI 03.
The weather was unfavorable to the grading
of earn and tho demand for the daj's receipts
was such as to put cash corn to a premium of
lc over May delivery. Business was dull, and
notwithstanding the very strong feature just
mentioned, the shorts did not show any partic
ular alarm. The lowest prices were made near
the opening. Mav started at 07c to GTc, sold
as high as 67JG7Jc and closed at oTJSoTJc
Parties who are short of July oats are becom
ing nervous in view of the lateness of the sea
son. The sowing so far has been comparatively
light, and if the woathcr should continue un
favorable for the next ten days there would be
little chance of getting new oats on the market
in time to fill contracts. The market was very
tame ilth prices confined within a narrow
range.
The provision deal developed considerable
firmness ana advances were scored in the face
of a continued free movement of hogs. The
confidence of the country in the future of the
price of hogproductsis a pleasant contempla
tion for the packer's' and narchonsemen who
are getting handsome carrving charges. The
ditference between May and July ribs at present
represents a heavier rate for carrying than was
paid during the mouetarv stringency of last
year. May pork advanced 12Jc, and July, 7JJc
Laid gained 2S5e, and ribs, 2)c.

Italians' Looking for a Tract of Land
on Which to Colonize.
BILL BIDE AND HILL TOP VALUES.
Comparison Between Keal Estate in Pitts
burg and tho Booming West.
FEATDEES OP LOCAL SPECULATION
The Italians or this city are looking abont
for 25 to 30 acres of cheap ground as a site
for a colony. Their idea is to become citi
zens and get their own homes in some part
of the city where they can build together
and be strong enough to acquire influence
and command respect. Two or -three lo
cations are under consideration.
Fortunes in Hillside Lots.
Forty years ago the late James McGin
ness began, upon very small means, the pur
chase of exceedingly cheap property along
the valleys and hillsides of Soho. No other
person wanted it, and he bought it at a cost
of about HO to 5100 per lot Hany years
ago it was said that he would not buy any
thing in the shape of ground that could not
shed water as fast as it would fall, except
the site upon which he lived and died. He
broke stone for a living on the Pitt township
roads in early days, and finally became super
visor for the Mechanics' Turnpike Company,
where be relieved the monotonous peregrina
tions over township roads, by looking after
hillside lots that in after years brought him a
fortune.
He was a long-headed man. He foresaw the
occupation of the lowlands and valleys by in
dustrial plants, whose employes must have
homes, and he had satisfied himself that the
level lands through Oakland and about Soho
held by Craft, Breed, Zug, Qauam, Tnstin,
Wilkins and others would not be broken in
upon by tempting offers for at least a quarter
of a century. When he got his price for a lot
he sold it, but he never sold unless he got $5 or
S10 for every dollar that he invested, and be
would just as soon take a flat mortgage witn 6
percent interest as the cash. He wanted his
interest promptly and be got it, and the inter
est for one and a half years pretty generally
equaled the original investment. He very
rarely put a "for sale" on anything he had, but
the people out in that section knew when they
could Bee a goat making itB way along intricate
paths, or 45s slopes, that the property belonged
either to J ames McUinness or Senator Gazzam,
ana that anyone that would pay the price could
have it.
He loaded up with the cheapest and most
worthless stuff that nature ever produced, and
totally unworthy the name of real estate. He
sold it, however, and at big prices, for at the
time of his death he left an estate valued at
500.000. after having taken life easy in a very
pretty home, for 23 years. The ordinary dealer
would not look at land of thi3 character now,
and one could hardly run fast enough, after
most of them, to give it away, and yet there is
no class of property that brings greater returns
to the fellow that waits.
Poor people always have been and always
will be in the majority. They are the put chasers
and the consumers, and along these hill sides
you will sooner or later find their arbors and
trailing vines, lately anchored by natures
tendrils. The Southslde Germans would not
bny anytbing for a home that did not have a
fall of at least 40 feet to the 100. and it is well
known among real estate men on that side of
the river that level hill top lots hear nocom
parison in price to the shaggy, craggy, rock
ribbed lots along the almost insurmountable
and overhanging hill sides.
Fleeing to the Hill Tops.
Frank Kohne sold a ten-acre tract at the
head of Hazelwood avenue to John Larkin for
15,000, in April, 1S90. There was some dispute
aboat the details in closing np the sale, and it
was declared off. bix months later Mr. Kohne
sold the same ground to the Schenley Park
Land Company for 18,000. Mr. Kohne would
like to get it back again at S20.000, and thinks
he could cut it into 100 lots and sell it ont at
$35,000. The entire absorption of everything
on the lower level of Glenwoodand Hazelwood
for manufacturing purposes Is driving every,
body to the hilltops, where nine-tenths of the
land is controlled by syndicates.
Keal Estate Out West
Mr. J. C. Alles, of Alles Sc Bailey, has just re
turned from a six-weeks' trip through the
Western States, Southern California and Mex
ico, and in an interview yesterday gave his im
pression and views on real estate In those parts,
and especially in regard to valuation as com
pared with Pittsburg. Mr. Alles said; "In Chi
cago real estate has quite a boom, the World's
Fair being the augmenting factor. For 20 miles
around the city they are selling what they call
town lots and building bouses on stilts in the
swamps. In my opinion the bulge will not last,
and after the Fair real estate will be a drag on
the market"
From Chicago Mr. Alles went to Hot Springs,
Ark., and thenoe to El Paso, Tex., which is a
flourishing little city. Del Norte, a Mexican
town, was next visited. It contains the oldest
church in America. Los Angeles was the next
stopping place, ot which he said:
"it is the worst place in regard to real estate
that I struck during my trip. It is in a chaotic
condition. Hotels, opera houses and street car
lines are in an unfiulsbed condition. People
viho went there and invested thousands of dol
lars in real estate were glad to realize one-third
of their outlay. The great trouble thero is
lack of money. Southern California was badly
crippled bv the land boom of a few jears ago.
Costly buildings wore started in many places
and left balf finished. A hotel to cost a quarter
of a million dollars was built up to the second
story and abandoned. In one case a street can
lino naa been duue out ten mnes wimout a
house on the route."
Of San Francisco, Mr. Alles said: "This is
the great real estate city of the West. Trans
fers are important in number and value, and
prices are very firm. The only drawbacks aro
the rapid growth and prosperity of the cities of
Seattle and Tacoma. They are diverting a
great deal of Pacific coast trade from San
Francisco. Seattle has already become a great
shipping point."
Of Denver be said: "Real estate here is at a
standstill, prices being entirely too high.
Puelflo has to a great extent taken the place of
Denver as a mining center. Most of the large
smelting works are located there."
In conclusion, Mr. Alles paid a high tribute
to Pittsburg. "Heal estate here," he remarked,
"is low as compared with Western cities, al
thougn there is abundant reason why it should
be higlier. We have more manufactures and
larger resources to draw upon. I anticipate a
bright future for Pittsburg industries and real
estate."
A Progressive District.
The East End district keeps on spreading out
toward Hawkins and Braddock. It is a big
district and prices aro accordingly high. The
man who has 30 to 40 acres anywhere between
braddock and the Court House and near tho
line of the Pennsylvania railroad, is in a fair
way to become a millionaire.
Business News and Gossip.
Electric weakened still further after call yes
terday, selling down to 13.
The volume of local business last week was
an improvement on that of the previous week.
There was a better demand for money and
stock trading was more active.
The locating of tho Carneglo Library build
ing at Schenley Park entrance on Forbes
street, will increase the value of Oakland
property 25 per cent, at any point between Mey
ran avenue and Roup street, now Negley ave
nue. The reflective value of a 52,000,000 build,
leg in an already beautiful suburb can hardly
be estimated in dollars and cents.
It is said tho Brown heirs have been offered a
handsome price per acre for their entire hold
ings in the Twenty-third ward. Mr. Burchfield
would not talk abont it, though he probably
knows what is going on in that ward.
George B. Hi 11 & Co. were the principal buy
ers of Electric at yesterday's stock sale. Sell
ing orders were Bald to have come from Bos
ton. W. C. Stewart has ust let the contract for
grading and opening streets through the Glass
property at Sharpsburg. It consists of 15
acres, and has been subdivided and named
Highland Park. Lots will be sold on the in
stallment plan.
A. 11. Kennedy, of J. B. Larkin &Co., has had
two attacks of the grip lately.buthassbakon off
both without going to bed. He says that a
morning and evening walk to Allegheny and
two walks a day through the Oakland alstnct

HOME SECURITIES.
Reported Westinghonse Circular a Boll
Fake Boston Caught but Pittsburg
Too Wary A Reaction Follows
and the Mock Takes
a Tumble.
The local stook call yesterday was a narrow
gauge affair, the only properties handled being
I FlaAtvlM t3hllaBlnTif fZaa a n rl Tna.a- rTk..
reaction in the former took the bloom off the
rest of the list. Central Traction, Luster and
Standard Cable were the strongest features.
There were no particularly weak spots. Banks
and railroads received considerable attention,
but buying orders were below the market and
none of these stocks changed hands.
The reDort that Mr. Westinghouse had is
sued a circular to stockholders, turned out, as
many expected, to be a joke. Denial was made
not only by Mr. Westinghonse, but by an of
ficial of the company in this city, who said in
positive terms yesterday that not only had no
circular or statement been Issued, but none
was expected for several days yet perhaps not
before the middle of the month, to which time
Mr. Westinghouse has practically taken an
extension.
The report of the issuance of a circular is
thought to have originated in New York to
bull the stock. It caught Boston napping,
where a buying movement set in and value
bulged; but it found few victims in Pittsburg,
where former canards about the same business
have made people cautious. Boston realized
the deception yesterday and ohanged base,
even sending selling orders to Pittsburg. The
reaction carried pnoes down at both places,
and a weak and nervous feeling prevailed at
the close of business.
The result of the week's operations on the
local stock board was to leave nearly every
thing higher than at the beginning, even Elec
tric showing a gain of nearly two points, al
though closing about $1 a share below the high
est. Sales for the day were 430 shares, and for
the week 4,085, of which 2,267 were Electric.

THE WEEK IS OIL.
Change of System Falls to Bring Grist to
the M11L
The event ot the week in oil circles was the
changing the manner of trading on 'Change,
by which the old system of cash first and op
tions secondary was restored. The market,
however, moved along in the old rut, there be
ing no improvement in outside interest. The
change, it is believed, will In time help busi
ness especially if the visible stock continues to
increase.
There was no market yesterday so far as
sales went. The only bid during the session
was 72Kc. At the finish oil was offered at 72Me.
Outside exchanges were weak and dull. The
highest point touched during the week
was 73c and the lowest 72c. The final quota
tion, therefore, shows a fractional galu.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
The Quiet Ending of an Active Week The
Market Bearish in the Morning, but
the Losses Nearly Reoovered
Bonds Again DaH.
New Yobs. April 1L The stock market to
day was nothing more than the closing up of
an active week, and the trading was compara.
tively small, while a drooping tendenoy marked
the general list and the bears were onee more
active and aggressive against the few stocks
which they found vulnerable. There was a
lack of Interest In the dealings on the part of
the bulls, and for. the time being the market
seemed to have gone back to Its former condi
tion; but the opinions of bearish contingent
gave it tone and character.
The opening was steady and quiet, but the
trading element was disposed to discount an
unfavorable bank statement, relying on the
heavy exports of gold, and the estimated loss
br the Interior movement, which should have
been in the neighborhood of $700,000. The
pressure to sell, however, was confined almost
exclusively to the Industrials and the U ranters,
and Chicago Gas, Sugar, Burlington, Rock
Island and Missouri Pacific in particular. The
first two stocks were rattled off rapidly in the
early dealings, Chicago Gas. losing 1 and
Sugar IK per cent, while Rock Island, with a
loss of 18. was the only other stock which de
clined more than 1 per cent.
The bank statement was considered rather
favorable, with its insignificant loss in reserve,
and with its issue was developed a desire to re
coup the sales of the early dealings, which re
sulted in a partial recovery ot the tormer losses.
The general list presented no feature of inter
est throughout the entire session, and the inac
tive stocks were comparatively neglected. The
market finally closed quiet and firm at the re
covery. The final changes show losses of frac
tional amounts in general, Chicago Gas being
the only exception, with a loss of 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds were quite dull, the tradingiu
all issues only reaching $471,000, out of which
the Atchison incomes furnished $101,000. The
market sympathized to a limited extent with
the heaviness in stocks, but no material move
ment took place, and the final quotations show,
as a rule, only slight differences from last pre
vious sales.

A SPRING SPURT.
Henry Clews Thinks the Wall Street Out
look Is Brighter Why Speculative Se
curities 6hould Improve Signs That
Should Bring Confidoncoi
r SPECIAL TXLIOBAU TO TBZ DXSFATCa.1
Nb-wYobk, April 1L Henry Clews, in his
Wall Street Circular, says: During the past
week, Wall street has sprung into new life and
activity. The beginning of April has been ex
pected to bring an improvement in the stock
market; but the degree of recovery has ex
ceeded anticipation!. The volume of transac
tions has more than doubled, and prices have
advanced almost through the entire list; but
the best symptom coanected with the revival Is
that it has comenot somuch from mere "room"
influences as from an important aocesslon of
ontside buying orders. The stimulns is not of
the artificial kind that is sometimes manufac
tured by professional traders or capitalists as
sociated nith large corporations; it is mainly
due to a simultaneous and natural demand
coming from the public at large, and alike for
transient and permanent investments
This welcome change is due to several causes.
It is the first clear and decided evidence that
public confidence has recovered from the shock
imparted by the crisis of last fall. And In that
sense it means what many have suspected, that
the damage inflicted by the panic was.due more
to fright than to positive injury or widespread
disaster. The mischief was more in the natnre
of a derangement of the machinery of finance
than in any general unsoundness of business at
large or any sueh extensive insolvency as the
Barings' suspension revealed among the Euro
pean credit establishments associated with
South American interests. The whole trouble
lay in a comparatively temporary over-creation
of railroad issues and a violent hitch in our cur
rency arrangements', while the general trade of
the conntry was In a sound and wholesome
condition. Careful observers have all along
felt that, when the publlo at large came to
understand these actnal limitations of the bear
ings of the crisis, there would be a prompt and
effective recovery of confidence and a general
return to normal conditions. All symptoms
unite to indicate that we have now reached that
turning point.
The danger of monetary stringency has been
greatly mitigated; for, on the one hand, the
largely increased disbursements of the Govern
ment will necessitate a distribution of the im
mense cash balance hitherto held by the Treas
ury, and, on tho other, the operation of the
silver law will add 60,000,000 per year to the
active circnlation. In addition to the increase
arising from Our regular production of gold. It
is also a factor of no small importance that, in
the Western States generally, the Oranger
hostility to the railroads shows a marked abate
ment of its reckless hostility, and in almost
every case bills of that character have been
defeated. A still more direct stimulant comes
from the hopeful agricultural prospects. The
winter wheat crop is unusually promising while
the weather is favorable to the getting In of
the Spring crops; aud the fact that the outlook
for the European wheat crop is discouraging
suggests the probability of a good year for the
American farmer.
While the concurrence of the foregoing fa
vorable conditions is calculated to develop a
much more confident feeling as to the future
of business, it is beyond question that the cur
rent market value of securities is much below
the average. It is true that the present gross
earnings of the railroads show but moderate
gains on those of last year; yet It is to be re
membered that the traffic of 181K) was unusually
large. It argues well for the general trade of
the country that, in spue of the decrease in last
year's wheat and corn crops, the earnings
should show any increase whatever on those of
1S90. It seems therefore to be a reasonable
assumption that the current business of the
roads would warrant about an average range of
prices for railroad securities: and yet their
present value falls very much below the aver
age. In view of the factors above reviewed, there
appears to be a solid basis for an appreciation
in the value of securities from this time for
ward; and the probabilities of the situation
favor a steady buying movement extending up
to the fall months; especially should the crop
prospects continue to develop as satisfactorily
as hitherto.
WALL STEEET GOSSIP.
The Alton Boycott, Crops, Gold Shipments
nnd the Money Marker.
Watson & Gibson wired the following to
John M. Oakley & Co. after the close of busi
ness yesterday:
There was enough momentum to the bull
market to run Into open dealing this morning,
but not enough to prevent a little reaction
liter. The last prices were firm under the In
fluence of a bank statement showing a los3 of
only $700,000, when twice that amount had been
expected. The market had the benefit of the
Government crop report, od the condition,
which, as we said yesterday It would be, was
one of the best ever issued by the Agricultural
Department. But it does not cover spring
sown crops, for they are not yet in the ground,
and the season is confessedly baekward.
The cloud on the Western horizon just now,
however, is the Alton boycott, which may
easily lead to a railroad vendetta and the usual
slaughtering ot rates. The Alton road has
never extended its lines into the tar Wosc, and
it 13 bottled up unless It is able to coerce the
far Western extensions of the Chicago Missis
sippi roads to deliver to it a fair amount of
tonnage. If these roads combine against it, it
can attract as much of that tonnage as it can
carry if it can inflict such a blow to these large
Western interests as to compel them to recog
nize it. Then again there is the question of
lake rates, which are in danger of collapse
owing to light freight offerings and an excep
tionally large fleet of steamers. The Kanawha
Dispatch fast freight line, operating over the
Chesapeake and Ohio, have cut seaboard rates.
The large gold shipments this week are not
reflected in the bank statement to-day, and
more gold is likely to go hence this week.
Money cannot be borrowed now upon high

The first preferred stockholders of the St.
Louis and San Francisco are not inclined to
accept the Atchison 4 per cent bonds. The
Atchison appear to confess that it got a "pig-in-a-poke"
when it traded off S22.000 of Its own
stock for which tnere was a wide market for
what would seem to be a worthless lot ot com
mon and second preferred stocks on the St.
Louis and San Francisco. An ordinary busi
ness man would have waited for the road to go
into the hands of a receiver before buying its
control. The Atchison was the only buyer for
the stocks and a capital trade its holders made
when they found a customer for it.

PUIS "TRUTHS,
We Give You Nothing But
Truthful Statements,
THEY DON'T MISLEAD.
Do we cure every case of catanhf
Unquestionably, no.
When catarrh has been allowed to proceed
unchecked until the various organs have be
come fatally impaired and the system under
mined so that no remedial agent or medical
skill can avail, or when tbe patients become
careless, negligent and infrequent in their
visits, the sufferer will undoubtedly fail to ob
tain a cure.
Our treatment is not one of miraculous
power nor mysterious sorcery. Our cures aro
effected by patient, regnlar. systematic and
methodical, as well as skillful, treatment. We
cure only when the patient, by hearty co-operation,
aids us in our work. No one can do
more.

appeared. My throat was harsh and dry. Had

almost a physical wreck."
