KBKE?3 Zr prr rj -fif-LIHE OF DRYGOODS. The Grip and a Backward Spring. Delayed Business, but A MAEKED REVIVAL HAS SET IK. Dealers Look for a Trade Volume in Excess of Last Season's. EFFECTS OF THE 1TKBTEY TABLFF MIL ' Office of PrrrsBURQ DrsrATcn, ) Tcesdat. May 12. J In an interview with Mr. "William Camp bell, of the Fifth avenue firm of Campbell & Dick, the follow ing facts were elicited as to the dry goods trade. In many important lines trade was restricted and delayed in the early spring, by reason of the prevailing epidemic Tito showings for 3Iarch and the greater part of April were not up to last year as regards volume of trade. In the line of carpets and other house furnishing goods, the grip held trade back a month be hind its uual time. Orders for goods were in many cases put off onnccount of sickness in the homes, rendering it impossible to furnish the dwellings. In the fine of dress- goods and bonnets the season was kept back longer than usual for the reasons that Easter came unusually early this year and was followed by a spell of chilly weather. v.A'Rcvlval in Drvj-ood. By reason of thee adverse circumstances there is a surplus of the heavy-weight dress goods, which wcro on hand when trade w as at its worst. In the past two weeks traCe lias opened up lively, and lighter weight fabrics hVvc the call. Drygoods merchants could hardlv anticipate the two important items, namely, the gripand backward spring, and because of their lack of prophetic knowledge, will be forced to carry over uniil a more convenient season a surplus of heavy weight fabrics in the line of dress goods. All 1110 pjist iw o eeKs mere nas ueen sucn a decided improvement in the drygoods trade, that there is now no longer any doubt that volume will bo fully up to last year, and in some ca"cs nhere special efforts were made an intrease is reported. Since May Day thcre4ias been suoha rush for goods as to insure more than a full average spring trade, and there are no signs as yet of a let-up to the rush. Light dress good fabrics and household decorations arc In such demand that there are no fears of a surplus to be carried over. The drvgoods merchant whoso faith in Pittsburg's consuming capacity is large will not bo disappointed this season, though a month ago his faitli may have been terribly shaken. U, As to Prices Since the Tariff. There is little change in prices of drygoods as compared with last season, notwithstand lns tho McKinley bilL Imported goods have not materially changed in cost. Foreign manufacturers are determined to hold tho American trade, and representatives from the German and French manufactories havo been diligently at work for the past few -months to hold pur trade by re ducing prices so aS "to competo with r6racstic goods. The decline in price of fino .wools has. been to the advantage of tho foreign manufacturer, so-that there is very little difference in nricc of imnortcd roods as compnred with'last year. In some lines ol drc- goods there has been an advance of 8 to 4 per cent and in others no advance. Tho bpst body brnsscls carpet has advanced iuc pcryaru, ana vtnergruues jiot more man 3c per j-urd. Many Ot tho light tapestries lire the "same in price as they w ere before the McKinley tariff bill came fhto.eflect. In the line of silks prices were never as low as now, and with the exception of a" few high rlass novelties, all the silks handled by our drygtsods' firms are manufactured in this country. - As to Styles Prevailing. Grav-is the fashionable color in tho line of ladj "s dress goods this season. Lansdownc, $, dainty fabric of silk warp, and wool filling 1 "very popular. Cashmeres, Henrietta and light-weight cloths are also in good demand. The shades of gray -run from almost whito to steel shades. Next to the gray are the tan colors in -ooiiularitv. Tho latter were most In vogue last teason. hut at this date gray1 uunj uru on mo gum. Iii the line of carpets the present fashion runs to neutral shade effects. The style for tho last year or twa has been in favor of highly covered carpets. But of late fashion has grown more modest, and quieter styles , ere in vogue this season. LIVE STOCK MABKETS.

The bullish news that caroo in creased the nervous feeling. July opened at 9"K99c, and quickly advanced to9?c, influenced somewhat by the news in the morning papers that the man-of-war Charles ton was steaming down the Pacific coast in pursuit of the Itata, with the possibility o(a light. The market hung around, this figure as a rallying point for a long time, and it was afternoon when a decided movement was made, which eventually carried the price to $1 0 the highest figure of the day, though this was not accomplished with out a stubborn resistance from the boars, who made a nnmber of raids. localizing sales sent tho price off a little at the close. Corn was as stubbornly strong as wheat. There was a good lively trade. Shorts were made nervous by the fact that local receipts were 65 cars short of tho estimates, and that the estimates for to-morrow were extremely light. The bulge in wheat also helped to frighten manv shorts Into buying. July opened at 5S5SJc, sold off to 58c, advanced with one or tn o reactions to 59&C, closing slightly lower. Oats wcro fairly active and firmer. There were some reports of crop damage by lice in Missouri, but the main strength came from corn nnd wheat and from f'shorts" who bought freely. Trovisions were raided early by shorts. Tho result was a recession of 22Jc in the price of July pork, which suffered the brunt of the attack: of 2K In July lard, and of ' in July ribs, from the openmg. Later, in sympathy with grains, there was a rally to a point slightly above tho opening, closing at medi um figures. Open-fHieh- Low- .Clos- Articles. lug. est. est. log.

Business Drops Off on Unfavorable Outside News, but Values Not AfleetedFor the "Worse Everything Firm and Some Stocks Higher. The disquieting nature of tho news from abroadyestcrday had a tendency to clip the wings of speculation and hold things down almost to the dead lovel of stagnation. London was feverish and Now York showed a reactionary tendency. Tho Paris Bourse was panicky oivlng to tho Portuguese affairs. As Pittsburg depends more or less upon the East for stimulus, and there being none to spare, trading hero was very light.

It might bo inferred from the above that Tiriccs followed the trend of business, lint ( such was not the case. The Tractions were all stronger, tho natural gasscrs held their own, and Luster. Hidalgo and Standard Underground Cable improved theirposition. Manufacturers' Gas was bid up a fraction. In most cases final prices were the best of the day. Thero were no dealings in Electric horo nnd only a moderate movement at Boston. Here it opened at 15 bid and closed at 15J& Early offerings were at 15, later -Advanced to 16, and closed ntlSK. At Boston it closed offered at 1 with 15 bid. Tho last sale there was at 15. The difference between the two points was too narrow for scalping. In the still undigested condition of the cir cular and the doubt in some quarters as to tho pntcomo of tho reorganization plan, it is considered somewhat risky to go short on the' stock. The bulk of tho business is duo to covering in tho effort to bo on the safe side. This disposition has beon quickened by the advance sinco the circular was made public A broker talked in this vein: "There was, no doubt, an attempt made, in the early stage of Mr. Wcstlnghouso's negotiations, on the part of certain parties identified with rival Companies to buvun nil thft nnmmnn tock and wipe out tho Wcstinghouse Com pany; out it miscarrieu. Having mult up the concern, and his business reputation being staked on its success, Mr. Westing house rejocted all overtures looking to ab sorption or amalgamation, and steadily la bored to sustain, tho autonomy and high character of tho company, and I think he has succeeded.

NEW YOEK STOCKS. Shares Feverish and "Weak on Panicky Foreign FeeUngg No Disturbing Ele ment in the Domestic Situation Ball road Bonds "Weak in Sympathy. New Yoke, May 12. The stook market" again hesitated to-day, and. there was, a re newal of tho selling press'uieona limited scale, while the buying, which- was so marked. a feature of yesterday's trading, was entirely lacking. Under the circumstamfes prices dropped, and in some cAses declined materi ally. Tho principal cause for the check to i the upward movement is to be found in the dlsauletin? nows from abroad, the London and continental bourses being depressed through heavy sales of Portuguese and Spanish securities, which brought every thing else along with them to some extent. There were further engagements of gold, but these were not of such magnitude as to cause any decllno of note and the hesitation is to be traced to the fear of further finan cial complications abroad, which will neces sitate a lurthor call upon us for funds. The favorable items in the situation are all to be found in this country and the situation in the stock market hinges upon the probabili ties of a further withdrawal of gold in the neor future or a return of some of that al ready Eent. Until this uncertainty is re moved, therefore, the general expectation is lor a le-vensii &nu unsemeu market, wiui llttlo animation outside of the leading stocks, which are not in tho hands of cliques. Early advices from London this morning reported a panidky feeling there, and the same was reported of Paris, and at the open ing of our market, London was n seller to a moderate extent, making a feverish and lower opening, tho losses from last night's figures extending to J per cent. There was, however, an undertone of strength left in the market, andmbstof the opening losswas regained in tho early trading; but -the lack of buyers soon made itself felt, and a droop ing tendency becamo prevalent, which carried nrices down aealn. nnd they re mained below the level of the opening for the rest of the day. The Industrials were again prominent in the market, taking-second rank to the Grangers; but Sugar was decidedly weak and Cordage only little lesseojUTho steady decline in prices reached material propor tions toward the delivery hour, when- an effort to cover shorts made a slight rally in the market. The only strong point in the list during tho day was the Wheeling and Lake Erie preferred stocks, which are alone this evening in showing a small advance. The market finally clised quiet but weak, at or aDouc tno DOttom prices. .Everytning, with the one exception noted, is lower, and Sugar declined 2Jic; Chicago, Columbus, Cin cinnati and St. Louis, Bock Island and Louis ville, 1; Pacific Mail and Union Pacific, 1 ; Atchison, Northwestern, St. Paul and North ern Pacific preferred, 1; Burlington, and New England, 1 per cent. Ballroad bonds wore uninteresting to-day, the sales reaching only $12,000, but the move ments sympathized with the weakness in stocks, and prices are in almost all cases lower. , The following table shows the prices of active stocks on the 2i ew York Stock Excfianreyesterdajr.

Ho ordinary remedy could be sold undersuchpecuKar nnd-frm'nff conditions. To' do so would bankrupt its manufacturers. Not so with "Golden Medi cal Discovery" which outsells every other liver, blood and lung remedy, throughout the civilized world. It's a legitimate med-' idne, not a beverage; contains no alcohol, to inebriate; no syrup or sugar to derange digestion; as peculiar in remedial effects as in its composition; it stands alone, tran scendent in curative properties, unique in composition, its sale backed by a substantial 'forfeit in case of failure to do all that is" claimed for it. There's nothing at all like it, either in composition or curative effects; therefore, don't be induced to take some thing else represented to be " just as good," that the dealer may make a larger profit. Every dealer knows it's the best and only guaranteed liver, Blood and Lung Remedy. "World's Dispessabt Medical Asso ciation, Proprietors, No. 663 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y. " :h::e3.a.:djlc:e3: e !

Bedford will leave to-day at noon. for Parkersburg. The marks on the Monongahela wharf show 6 feet 3 inches and stationary. The M. F. Allen has taken the place of the Ben Hur in the Wheeling and Parkersburg trade. The" pool boats are bringing down coal enough to send out every boat in port with tows on tho next rise. All tho big packets are now tied up at differentports along the river, the most of them at Cincinnati and this city. The lower river local packets are now finding it diffi cult to get through on account of the low water. A promoest Parkersburg river man says that he has never known navigation on the Ohio to close as early as It has this year. Largo packets have been able to get through much later, and none of them were com pelled to go to the banks last year until the middle of July. William Gerdo-t, of James A. Henderson & Co., is mourning tho loss of the alligator which ho received some time ago from the South. Some person moved the frame suffi ciently to allow the alligator to get out, and a tnorougn searcnianea to disclose tne hiding place of the animal. Judge AcnESQ-r, in tho United States Court yesterday, handed down an opinion in the case of T. M. Jenkins & Co. vs. W. F. Reno, et al. The case Is that of tho collision of two steamboats. The Judge holds that the boat Venice was responsible and that the pilot was culpably inattentive to what was going on. 'A decree'for the libelants for $192.89 was ordered.
