THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH 'SATURDAY, APRIL 25; 189L TRADE IRE ACTIVE Speculation, However, Is the Only Cause Which Prevents Com parative Dullness. REACTION FROM BUILDING BOOMS Belief in Short European Crops Raises the Trice of Wheat Despite the Decreased Exports. 2I0XLI EASIEB, COLLECTIONS EETTEtt. Tie CUsgts is the Tf.ee; cf Ccnncdities Slow i Slight Avenge Advice. SPECIAL TXLEQBAU TO THE DISPATCH.! ICew YonK.April 24. Special telegrams to Bradstreet's very generally refer to more settled weather and pood crop prospects as causes of tbe increased activity in general trade. St. Paul, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, St Louis, Kansas City and Omaha have all felt their influence, and Letter country roadways and improving mercantile collections are noted in conse quence. Seasonable drycoods, notions, clothing and hardware sales have been rela tively the more active, although leather has been in better request in some instances. At Boston boots and shoes are in better demand, and leading sugar refining centers report a sharp request, with nrices of re fined quite firm. Haw wool is more active at Boston, but at St. Louis new clip is held too hiyh to meet the views of local buyers. Cattle have been dull, and hogs are 10 cents lower per hundred weight. "Whisky is 2 cents higher in Western wholesale markets. Improved weather has not aided the general demand for dress goods materially, trade, as a whole, being quiet and unsatisfactory. The State of the Drygoods Trade, Ginghams and woolen dress goods are most active. Print cloths are selling at 2 15.16c, as low as ever known. A drive in prints this week was at the lowest prices on record. Low grade cottons are weak. Cot ton speculation is jctive but irregular. Actual cotton is 1-lGe lower. The industrial situation becomes more distmbed as Mar 1 approaches, that being the date set tor a general demand for fewer hours of work daily by 175,000 bituminous coal miners. It is doubtful, however, whethertbat number will strike. So trouble is anticipated in tne anthracite region. Several collieries have resumed already on full time. The eicht-hour movement is progressing in the building trades, in which strikes are numerous. The coke strike nominally continues. Pig iron is as deprjsseu as ever, notwithstanding reports of more confidence as to the future. Steel rails have been very quiet this week. Tbe total orders to date equal about one quarter of 1890's production. Failures, Jloney Market and Clearings. Business failures in the United States number 181, against 166 last week and 174 this week last year. The total from Janu ary 1 to date is 4,073, against 4,005 last year. Leading money markets are somewhat easier, and less anxiety is caused by contin ued exports ot gold. Call and loan rates are easier, and collections are made more promptly. Bank clearings at 57 cities for the week ended April 23 amount to 1,122,647.711, a decrease from this week last year ot 2 per cent. At 66 cities (New York's total ex cluded), practically no gain is shown. Share speculation shows increased activity and strength, the favorable crop outlook creatine a very bullish speculative disposi tion. The participation is widening, and gold exports and other unfavorable inci dents do not seem to check the advancing tendency. Wheat has been excited and 6 per cent higher during the week, chiefly on specula tive operations, heavily backed for the time by cables from England, France and Portugal. Later a disposition to realize, together with rather more favorable crop re ports from the Continent of Europe, caused a reaction which swallowed up all the ad vance. More than 120,000,000 bushels were traded in at Sew York, against 45,000,000 bushels in the preceding week. The Movement of Grain Abroad. Exports of wheat, and flour as wheat, this week fell away at San Francisco, as else where, owing to the excessive advance in puce, the latter touching $1 05, as com pared with 51 25J a bushel at New York. The total of exports equals 2,222,b95 bush els, ngainst 2,430,080 bushels last week and 2 2o9,530 bushels in the third week of April, 18U0. The total exported from July 1 to !.ue(from the United States exclusively) is 79,596.11G bushels, as compared with 88, 050,23J iiushels in a like portion of 1890, 72,835,585 bushels in 1889, and 107,211,975 bushels in 1888. General trade throughout Ontario, in the Canadian Dominion, is rather better than in tbe Province of Quebec Sugars are said to be unsettled, owing to expected tarifl changes and to "smuggling across the bor der." The Dominion reports 33 business failures this week, against 39 last week, and 38 this week last year. The total number from January to date is 705, against 675 last year. Activity Not of the Wholesome Kind. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weeklv review says: But for speculation this would have been a comparatively dull week, but tales o'" 112, 000,000 bushels in this market and 68,000 bales of cotton and 2.242,000 shares of stock have supplied a certain activity, though not of the most wholesome kind. In the interior business has been somewhat improved, but many causes combine to prevent great activity. Prominent among these is the re action from excessive real estate specula tion and building which has prevailed lnr years in some quar'ers. Thus at Philadel phia depression is explained by the fact that 00,000 new bouses have been added in eight years. The strikes in building trades tend to cause dullness where activity had been ex pected, and the threatened' strike of coal miners In several States also retards opera tions; but on the whole, the volume of busi ness is large for the season in amount of bank exchanges close up to that of corre sponding weeks ;lastyear. Eastbound ship ments, from Chicago for three weeks have been 200,071 tons against 213,108 for the same weeks of 1890. The symptoms are those of waiting rather than reaction. Reports Train Leading Cities. The merchandise business movement at Boston has been fair in wool, slightly larger without much change in drygoods and boots and shoes, with better reports from agents, while leather and bides" are quiet Philadelphia and Ohio trades are more active. Worsted mills are run nine full time at good prices. At Hartford t is noted that goods do not justify the higher prices said to lie asked lor the in creased clip ol wool. At Baltimore trade is only fair, but the manufacturers are active, and at Cleveland better weatner brings some improvement, 1 wim unusual activity in manufactured iron. Cincinnati also notes improvement and ereat activity in building and materials and better trade with better conntry roads. At Chicago wool receipts gain a third over last year, and wheat receipts are larger, but decrease appears in flour, corn, meats, lard ant hides. Drycoods'sales equal last vear for the week, and salesof clothing and shoes show increase. The grip retards trade at Milwaukee, but further improvement is seen at St Louis. Trade is fair at Kansas City and Omaha and better at Denver. The South and Its Products. Cotton is quiet and lower at 2Tew Orleans and sngar active and lower, general trade being fair. At Savannah trade slackened, and is rather dull at Jacksonville, but ex tensive investments in phosphates, with heavy shipments, cause activity in the part of the State where there are deposits. The money markets are generally undis turbed and comparatively easy. Collections improve slowly. The Treasury continues to pay out more than it takes in, though but little this week, the net addition to the cir culation being about $800,000. There are renewed signs of foreign selling of securities on the recent rise, and it is not to be ex pected that large gold exports in the sum mer can be prevented, unless breadstuffsso decline as to permit a free movement prior to June. Wheat has risen 3 cents with enormous speculative transactions, and has been even higher, the markets, of late show ing heavy realizing; yet exports from At lantic ports continue far below those of a year ago, although the quantity available for export, after supplying all domestic de mands for the crop year, is still over 40,000, 000 bushels. Cause of the Speculative Advance. Belief in short European crops next fall is the chief excuse given for the speculative advance, but it is too early to decide what crops other countries will harvest four months hence. Corn has declined a quarter, but oits are ) cent higher. The great receipts of cotton have depressed the price a sixteenth, and oil is 2 cents lower, but coffee an eighth higher. The offerings of European refined sugar seem to hare called American refiners to order very quickly, and without any change in the price ot raw sugar refined has dropped from a quarter to a half cent .The change in average prices of all com modities has been but a slight advance for the week, in spite of the rise in wheat, for manutactured products tend lower on the whole. Heavy liquidation puts tit down to 19 cents and ley! to 54 15. and lead importation canses tin plates to be offered at some decline. ' The coal trade does not inmrove, though agents have fixed udou 2,500.000 tons as the ontpnt for May. The Lehigh ignores the decision in the.Coxe case, but the threats of a strike in bitnminous mines affect the pros pect.

Damaging Evidence Against the Hypocritical Statesman. UNDER THE NAME OF WILSQN The 'Liberal Member of Parliament Car ried on Bis Base riots. HOW THE PEBNCn WOMAN WAS CADGHT London, April 24. The trial of Captain Edmnnd H. Verney, Liberal member of Parliament for North Buckinghamshire, who is charged with having been instru mental in procuring a governess narfted Nellie Beckett for improper purposes was continued to-day at the Bow Street Police Court The trial was commenced on Satur day last when Captain Verney, who was traveling on the continent when the1 warrant for his arrest was applied for, returned to this country npon being notified of the charges brought against him and was taken into custody. At the first day's hearings Miss Beckett testified to the fact that she answered an advertisement setting forth that the services of a governess were desired and that upon calling at the address named in the advertisement she became acquainted with Mme. Floreat who had inserted the advertisement and who induced Hiss Becket to go to Paris with' her. There, according to Miss Beckett's testi mony, she was introduced to a man who went bv the name of Wilson (subsequently identified as Captain Verney), who made improper proposals to her. Miss Beckett added that when she refnsed to accede to Captain Verney's solicitations Mme. Floreat gave her the sum of 510 and her fare back to this citv. Upon her return here Miss Beckett informed a phvsician of her ac quaintance as to the result of her visit to Paris, with the result that Miss Beckett, by her friend's advice, entered into a corre spondence with Mme. Floreat, and was en abled to cause her arrest and conviction. Miss Beckett's friends then turned their at tention to Captain Verney, with the result that he was arrested on Saturday last and released on bail for inrther examination to day. The Bow Street Police Court was cnowaed this morning with people who came to hear the evidence iu the case The proceedings to-day included the examination of several witnesses who testified to having repaired the house for a min whom they knew as "Wilson," in which Mme. Bouillier (an other name for Mme. Floreat) was eventual ly placed in charge. After some further evidence proving the identity of Captain Verney with the man known as Wilson, the further hearing of the case was adjourned until Thursday next. Captain Verney was again liberated on bail. THE cash in the United States Treasury mast be counted before Mr. Dluston can tnrnlt over to his successor. THE DIS PATCH to-morrow will tell how It will be done. 24 pages. HIS FIRST TRIP EAST. Secretary of State Allan Weir, of Washing ton, Soys That Itlaino Has a Strong Fol lowing on the Pacific Slope Echoes of the Convention. Secretary of State Allan Weir, of Wash ington, arrived in town last evening, and registered at the St. James Hotel. Mr. Weir will remain here for a few days re garding matters of a business nature. This is the first time he has crossed the Rocky Moun tains, and he proposes to see all he can before be returns to the Pacific slope. Mr. Weir was one of six delegates sent by tbe new Stato of Washington to tbe Cincinnati convention. He says tbat seven-tenths of the delegates were for Blaine. He says there is a Tery strong Blaine sentiment on the Facifio coast Oregon would be satisfied with any good Republican, while California would be content with illaine or llcKinloy, with choice iu favor of the former. Washington wants Blaine for President, and Idaho and Montana desire to see either Blaine or McKmley elected to the chief office. The new tariff law, which favor ably affects these States, is responsible for this sentiment, and Mr. Weir says that on the Pacific slope tbe sentiment toward Republican ism is steadily growing. Mr. Weir believes tbat Blaine will receive tho nomination if he will allow his friends to act for him and refrain from writing letters, but at, tbe same time events may occur to make the election impossible. Presi dent Harrison's administration has been clean and wholesome and he mayseekarenoinina tion. In his case, his nomination was a result of a compromise, the best that could be made to unite the party and carry Indiana. Wash ington State is crowing rapidly and dally in creasing in population and industrial growth. EJUGBANTS ABBIVlNG. A Couplo Cannot Find Their Friends, but Are Taken Care Of.

Disease and death attend human existence with unerring certainty. There is no spot upon tbe face of tbe earth where tbe grave does not claim its victims. Every member of tbe human family is born but to suffer and die. Catarrh Is the i most frequent disease with which the human family is afflicted and its re sults most serious. Therefore, knowing these existing conditions, it is necessary to use some remedial agent which has shown itself able to re lieve human suffering, caused by catarrh, rein, vigorate the weakened energies and check the progress of the disease. Mr. Bernard MeCue, Port Perry, JPa. Mr. Bernard McCne, residing at Port Perry, 11 miles from Pittsbarg, voluntarily made tbe following statement to tbe writer! "I was a sufferer for over three years and I could get no relief. I suffered from occasional headaches. There were noises In my ears and upon raising after stooping over I became very dizzy. My nose was always stopped up and I constantly hawked and spit up a yellowish mucus. At times my throat .was harsh and dry. I had pains in my chest; sometimes tbey were sharp, at other tiroes tbey were dull. I never felt rested in the morning." "Do you think tbe treatment benefited youT" "Yes, decidedly so. I feel better in every way and think I can truly recommend Drs. Copeland A Blair's treatment to all who suffer from tbe disease." INDORSEMENTS Of Dr. Copeland't Home Treatment for Catarrh.
