"Yon can tell your readers," says a Bt.

heat and fatigue, as liquids of that nature
will only increase after a time both sensa

comes. Take instead a glass of chilled
lemonade and drop in it a raw egg; shake
all quickly with a little shaker ana drink
slowly.
The feeling which Ii the result of this
cooling and nutritious egg lemonade will be
found simply delightful and will have per
manent effect, as well as a temporary re

THE WEEK H TRADE.
Some Improvement Generally and
Considerable Locally.
LOST GROUND BEING RECOVERED.
JLuegheny Oily Engineer Completes the
Grade of PerrjsTUIe Avenue,
THE LATEST ETENTS IS REAL ESTATE
During the week and month Just ended
there was soma Improvement In tbe business-situation
generally and considerable
locally. Bank clearings were about $4,000,-
000 In excess of those of the previous month.
They were neariy $4,000,000 greater than for
July, 18S9. The record so far Is considerably
below that of 1890, but with a hravy fall
trade, of which there is no reasonable doubt,
the gap will he materially narrowed before
the year is rung out. The strong cards were
improvement In the demand for staples,
large railroad earnings, cessation of gold ex
ports, and growing confidence In commer
cial circles.
The First Step Taken.
It has been stated In this column that the
American Mechanics propose to erect a fine
building in tho East End. It was learned
yesterday that they have taken an option on
a half-acre lot situated on Penn avenue,
nearNegley. If the purohase be consum
mated arrangements will be made to com
mence building early next spring.
Pacific Avenue Deals.
Dr. Daly has purchased 100 feet on Pactfio
avenue at a price approximating $S,B00, npon
whloh he will erect a handsome residence
for himself. William Jordan purchased
during the week a fine building site on the
same avenue for $5,000.
A Sanguine Look Ahead.
A gentleman who thinks there Is no place
like Pittsburg, and who takes a sanguine
view of its future, remarked yesterday:
"After careful consideration I have reached
the conclusion that the next ten years will
bring about a complete transformation In
the lower part of the city. Fine business
houses will occupy the places of the anti
quated and dilapidated structures which
now mar the appearance of many of tho
streets. I know of at least half a dozen
costly improvements which will be made
next year. These will start the ball rolling.
1 think it is Mrs. Schenley's intention to put
up a large number of business stands. There
is such an urgent demand for warehouses as
to leavo no doubt of their value as an invest
ment. While I am glad to see the suburbs
grow and flourish, I am decidedly opposed
to anything like neglect of the business
quarter of the city, where the money is
made that keeps everything moving."
Ferrysville Avenne Improvement.
On the Northside, the City Engineer has
prepared a plan of the grade of Perryaville
avmue from the head of Federal street to
the city line, which will be presented to tha
Street Committees of Councils for their ac
tion. Property owners are pushing the work
as fast as possible, so as to have the avenue
In good condition before cold weather.
Closing the Gaps.
The vigor with which building operations
are being pushed affords ground for the hope
that the result of the year's work will not
suffer much by comparison with 1800. Tho
strike has been a serious detriment to pro
gress in this line, hut its effects have
been minimized bv a large increase In the
number of builders. Figures show that for
the expired portion of the year, 1,780 permits

A few good buying orders for Philadelphia
Gas, Luster and Dnquesne Traction im
parted some animation to the stock market
during tne weok. Total sales were 1,122
shares, against 88 the previous week. The
only transaction yesterday was 45 shares of
Philadelphia Ga3 at 11.
Closing prices, as compared with those of
the previous Saturday, show the following
ohanges In the active list: Airbrake gained
2, Underground Cable i, Chartiers Railway
1, PIpeage J. Philadelphia Gas . Central
Traction lost Ki, Luster I, Electric Switch
and Signal i.
The weakness in Luster was explained by
the statement that the new mill had failed
to work according to agreement and had
been shut down. The two small mills are
also said to be idle.
The decision in the Central Traotion case,
according to report, had a depressing effect
In the East, on tho gronnd that all the street
railways were involved. This was the rea
son assigned for the drop in Birmingham
Traction.
Eleetrio dropped almost out of sight.
While there Is no doubt that the reorgani
zation programme will be carried out, delay
In perfecting details and getting the new
stock listed discourages Investors.
Several hundred shares of Philadelphia
Gas changed hands the latter part of the
week at a material advance. This about
cleaned the market of all stock offered and
left a good maty orderB unfilled. The rally
was due to anticipation of the good show
ing made by the company at the quarterly
meeting.
The oompany Is discharging Its debt so
rapidly that mny think dividends will ba
resumed the early part of next year. This
points to higherprioes.
Final bids and asking prioes for the week

New Vork Bank Statement.
The week in financial circles showed a
loss In bank exchanges as compared with the
previous week. The month, however, scored
a handsome gain over June. Bankers are
not frightened. They consider business good
enough for the season. Midsummer is al
ways dull. The outlook for tho fall is re
garded on all sides as of the most encourag
ing character. There Is plenty of money
and no fears of a stringency. The Clearing

The New York bank statement was not so
food as had been expected, showing a heavy
oss in the reserve, due to shipments of cur
rency to the West. Its publication was fol
lowed by a downward moment In stocks.

previous week, shows the following changes:
reserve, decrease, $223,975; loans, decrease,
$940,000; specie, decrease. $1,728,700; legal
tendors, increase, $1,085,800; deposits, de
crease, $1,652,900; circulation, increase, $172,
800. The banks now hold $19,481,035 In exoess
of the requirements of the 25 per cent rule.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, dosing offered at 2 per cent. Prime

MANY SHARES AT THE HIGHEST NOTCH
FOB THE WEEK.
Only Moderate Activity Prevails The Bank
Statement Not so Favorable as Was Ex
pected, but the Prices Are Held Kail
road Bonds Very DulL
New York, Aug. L The stock market to
day was only moderately active, but it dls-
i-played a decidedly strong tone on the whole
ana enjoyed a substantial rally, many stocks
closing at the best prices of the week. There
were some buying orders for the active mar-
ket, though a disposition was shown to con
tinue the covering of shorts. To this de
mand the bears opposed a further drive at
the market, but it wan rilrpetort it Snour In
all probability to mask the coverings in the
regular list.
First prices were generally fromltoJi
per cent better than last evening's figures,
but the pressure brought to bear in tho
early trading knocked sugar off 2 per cent,
and others fractional amounts. The pressure
was withdrawn before the expiration of the
first hour, when a disposition to discount a
favorable bank statement appeared, and
5 rices shot up rapidly all along the lino,
urllngton roso 2 per cent from its lowest
figures, ODd the rest of tho list followed
closely.
The bank statement proved to be not so
favorable as expected, the surplus reserve
showing a small decreaso, while deposits
were materially smallorthan last week. The
upward movement was checked at this
point, but the best prices were well hold,
and no reaction was had. There were a few
marked movements among the Inactive
stocks, and Evansvtlle and Terro Haute,
after rising from 114K to 117, reacted to 114,
while Cordage preferred rose from 97Jto
100. and Tennessee Coal rose 1 per cent.
The market closed dull but firm at about
the top figures. The final changes show
material advances in many cases, and Bur
lington is up 1: Western Union, V, Atchi
son, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St.
Louis, Chicago Gas and Louisville and Nash
ville, each yf, and Northwestern, Cordage,
Northern Pacific preferred and Tennessee
Coal, 1 per cent each. The transactions
reached 68,171 listed and 11,100 unlisted
shares, only St. Paul, with 11,050, reaching
five figures.
Railroad bonds were again very dull,
but while an Irregular temper was shown in
general the active stocks were strong. The
final changes, however, are In most cases de
clines, and Lehigh and Wllkesbarre 6s lost
3 at 95, and St. Louis, Vandalia and Terre
Haute firsts, 2 at lOTJi- Cleveland and
Pittsburg 7s rose 2 to 120. The trading ex
tended to only $297,000.
Some Doll Points.
John M. Oakley & Co.'s correspondent!,
Watson & Gibson, wired tho following: "The
question of tight money is one which Inter
ests every broker and trader. Predictions
have been very free that we should look for
a very active money market, but with the
falling off of general business and the con
servative methods which manufacturers,
merchants and brokers have been pursuing
there is not likely to be the demand antici
pated. "The West will require some money to
move the crops, but there Is alread a good
supply in the Western banks for immediate
uses. As for Wall street's demand for
money, prices are so 'much lower that it
takes correspondingly less money to carry
stocks, consequently in the present con
dition of the market the needs are easily
supplied. The majority of the traders on
the street are now ranged upon the bear
side of the market, and this lact alone is
sufficient to impress ns with tbe .belief that
It Is about time to expect that the bull side
will soon show profit.
"Active imagination pictured so soft dire
disaster that is to overtake our finances
that the bulk of those who follow Wall
street have grown to believe that it actually
exists, and will drop in upon us most any
time now without a moment's notice; but the
wonderful showing of financial strength as
displayed by us during the year past, its
ability to part with large amounts of gold
coin and still have enough for all Its own
uses, coupled with the great showing of its
crops of cereals, ought to convince the most
skeptical that this country is sound and its
securities when well chosen are in the high
est grade of the world's list of investments.
'The feeling to-day, as evidenced by the
prices, was one of marked reassurance, and
even the slight decrease in the bank reserve
had no prejudicial effect. We may have to
wait for confidence to mature, but we be
lieve that prices are bound for a higher
range. Short sales have been the thing for
a time past that have shown profits, but
J purchases now made judiciously are In our
udgment more advisable."
The Finish in Gotham.

BUYERS AND SELLERS SHY.
Their Hesitation Makes a Dull Market In
Wheat, Which Was Weak, but Braces
Up at the Close Corn Bailies a Cent
Oats Quiet.
CHICAGO Talk of great crops of cereals
on the floor to-day caused quite a luxuriant
growth to the local bear crop, but when
prices had declined under the weight of the
conjectured year's yield it was found that
it was not all for sale. A short session here
and a holiday In Liverpool predisposed the
speculators to go slow. Trading was very
light, but there was a nervous, unsettled
feeling, which kept the crowd close to the
trading pits while tbe session lasted.
The market for wheat started apparently
firm, hut in reality weak, as shown by an
immediate tumble in December from 89o,
the opening, to 89J$c. Having sustained the
loss referred to, the traders became shy of
each other, both buyers and sellers became
scarce and the price almost stationary for a
long time. Private dispatches from Paris
reported weakness and a decline tbere,
owing to improved weather. December
finally reached bc, but later In tho day the
news began to come In more favorable for
the friends of wheat. The market braced np
some, December going up Kc or to 89c, but
soon had a relapse, and sold back to 89jc: re
acted J4c. and at 12 o'clock was 89Jc, against
895 at the close yesterday.
Corn was about as dull as wheat and quite
steady until near the close, when it sold up
lc on bad weather in the West. The local re
ceipts were about 80 cars less than expected,
but, with wheat weak and the weather in
the interiormore favorable and a dull, nar
row trade, the market was inclined to weak
ness. The trade was scattering and without
any significance. Near the close, however,
the market mado a rally of nearly le. Sep
tember opened at 66X56c, sold to 66Jio,
then off to 56c, reacted to 57ic, and at the
close was about Slo.
Oats were quiet. September rose to Jo
premium over August. The local receipts
were about 50 cars under the estimate. Au
gust sold from 2727Jc,and at 12 was about
37?ic. September sold irom 27Jgc to 2TKo.
and at the close was 27c. May sold at 3lQ)
Sliic.
Hog products were excessively dull and
lower. The receipts of live hogs were 3,000
head belo'w the estimate, but tbe prices at
stockyards were unchanged. The weakness
in wheat and the dullness in trade, however,
made a weak market. September pork sold
from $11 45 down to $11 40, then up to $11 4
eased off and closed about $11 45. September
lard was dull, at $C 67K6 70, and at 12
o'clock $8 6754 was b'd. September ribs sold
from $6 97J to $5 90, and closed at $6 9-

SHE OBEY TWO PEUSIOHl.
One Was for Her Husband, Who Pbughtrtn
1813, and the Other for Her Son.
rgFECIAL TELEGBAM TO THE DUrATCB.l
Pottstown, PA., Aug. L Mrs. Mary
Hastecstine, oged widow of a veteran of the
"War of 1812 and mother of a soldier for the
Union, has become involved in a novel
legal tangle here through drawing two dif
ferent pensions irom the Government at
the same time. For over half a century she
has been receiving a liberal stipend as the
widow of John Hastenstine, who served in
the War of 1812, and in addition since 1879 she
has steadily drawn a second pension as the
dependent mother of Eli Hastenstine, who
fought in the suppression of the Rebellion.
United States officials were here this week
looking up the facts m the case, and ascer
tained them to be as stated above, Mrs.
Hastenstine herself indeed admitting them.
She claims in her own defense that per
sons whom she trusted informed her prior
to 1879 that she was entitled to two pen
sions, and that she followed their sugges
tions. The pension officials, wishing to
deal leniently with her, have requested that
she refund to tho Treasury some $2,000 sur
plusag within three weeks, otherwise the
case will be placed in the hands of a United
States Marshal for prosecution.
A HOG THAT LEAFED EE2TCE8.
Down East Farmers Have Some Sport With
a . lg Midnight Prowler.
rSTECIAI. TELEGBAM TO TIIS DISPATCH.!
Lancaster, Pa., Aug. L Three weeks
ago a strange specimen of wild hog of re
markably lean and supple body, covered
with long, white hair, with great, tusks like
those of a wild boar, and phenomenally
long legs, was. captured in Landis Valley,
with great difficulty, after it had caused un
told destruction of crops on a dozen farms in
the neighborhood. It would vault the tallest
fences with impunity, tramp down acres of
grain, devour early vegetables and ruin
whole potato patches in a single night. It
was repeatedly discovered in the act of com
mitting these depredations, but each time it
escaped with incredible speed, leaping over
fences and disappearing with such ease as ta
excite the amazement of farmers throughout
the whole country side.
It was only after a posse of 15 men had
carefully surrounded it that the "unknown
beast" was brought to bay. It was then
captured and exhibited in the village. Its
like was never seen "before. Yesterday it
was liberated and chased by 50 monnted
men. After a pursuit of 20 miles the beast

sheer exhaustion.

The Bemarkable Case or a Girl Who Lay ta
a Trance for Five Days.
fgrzCIAt. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCB.
Phoentxttlle, Pa., Aug. L Mary
Bradley, a pretty 16-year-old daughter of
Fanner Bradley, of Falls of French Creek,
recently lay in a state of suspended anima
tion for five days. At first she was pro
nounced dead, but her family naturally
hoped otherwise and resolved to watch over
her until they were sure. In the course of
time a life-like tint overspread the girl's
face, and then relays of watchers were sup
plied at the bedside night and day without
cessation. Finally on the afternoon of tha
fifth day the friends in the girl's chamber
noticed her bosom heave slightly and her
lips tremble. Kext they heard her breaths
in a long drawn sigh, and then saw her toss
her arms about and slowly open her eyes.
At first she was dazed, but gradually her
senses returned. She seemed merely to have
awakened from a refreshing sleep.
"I've had such a wonderful dream," she
said. "I dreamed that I had died and gone
to heaven. Oh, it was most beautifull Sweet
music, angel voices and happiness every
where. All seemed so blissfnL It was like
sitting in a great cathedral and listening to
divine music with one's eyes shut. Angels
caressed me and floated about me. I thought
I swam in the air. The lights were not
bright and dazzling, but soft and low. Oh,
I wish I could have remained there always.
Miss Bradley has now fully recovered.
The case has greatly interested the doctors.
They ascribe her catalepsy to physical con
dltions favorable to suspended animation.
