DISPATCH, HUWDAY, AUGUST 80, 1891
1 j
Comrade W. H. Reed's matter came up be
fore the Grand Army Day Committee ye
tordny afternoon In Municipal HalL The
Secretary read a communication from Com
rade Rood -which was praotlcally -what the
comrade hart paid at the meeting
two wceSs as;o, rednced to writing. In It he
denied that ho had said to a reporter that
"they could swing Pennsylvania and if they
had had a little more time they could have
swunf? the convention." He Bald that a part
cf the oflendine nrticle contained manv mis
statements and such being the case he held
that It was reasonable that the part in
which he was quoted was also a misstate
ment. UU communication was accom
panied hv statements from two others who
were present when the Interview took place.
In these statements part of the interview
was admitted to be correct but not
the part in resard to "swinging
the delegation." 'While Secretary Ben
roush was explaining something about the
iieed communication he was interrupted
and the question raised as to whether the
Grand Army Day Committee had Jurisdic
tion in the case. The Chairman ruled the
objection down. Other attempts were made
to "choso off" Comrade Bengough, but tho
chair onld not allow it.
The speaker then went on to state that the
committee had jurisdiction by virtue of an
action of the different Allegheny conntv
posrs whereby the Grand Army Day Com
mittee, of which the Executive Committee is
a part, was given full power to act for the
Allegheny county posts in anything that
concerned the good of the order. Comrade
Bengough referred to a communication with
an anonymous signature printed in one of
the daily papers vrt ek before last, in which
he as charged with "having a spite against
Post 3 because the comrades of the post re
fused to support him in his fight for the pen
sion agency. ' Growing impassioned, he de
nounced the staltments contained in the
Item as false, and scored the person
Who wrote it as a coward not
hrave enough to come out like a man over
his own signature. He said that he had
never done anything against Post 8 or any
of its members that was not in the interest
of the Grand Army.
At tue conclusion of Comrade Bengough s
remarks the committee referred the matter
to tho Chairman of the committee, Comrade
Thomas G. Sample.
Outside of thu matter there was nothing
hut routine business at yesterday's meeting,
except some remarks about the disagreeable
ride of the Grand Army Day celebration at
Bock Point. The lack of railroad
facilities and the lack of conveniences
en tho Hock Point grounds were
jointed out and the 'riff raff"
that attended the celebration came in for
some strong words. The opinion was e x
pressed that Grand Army Day must be here
After for Grand Army men and their own
people, and that if it be held in a grove ad
mission must be strictly limited to such.
A vote of thanks was tendered the follow
ing persons who donated supplies for the
Grand Army Dav celebration:

Comrade Stewart's Punishment,
Comrade J. P Stewart, of Post 8, Is still
suffering from what he calls the "Detroit
frip." The boys will never forget how Com
i-ade Stewart made life unbearable with his
terrible tin horn on tho trip to tho Columbus
encampment. They had revenge for this,
however. One night a platoon or comrades,
arcacd with horns of irightful tone, sur
rounded Stewart's house and broke in upon
him. He fell on his knees and begged for
Xaeroy, promising never to do it again. After
s, brief punishment he was released, but the
Vigilant committee swore him never to do it
again.
He behaved himself until he went to De
troit, when he smuggled that tin horn Into
camp and again declared himself chief
peace destroyer. Nobody knows what would
have hsppeued had he not been stricken as
he was. He became bo hoarse that he could
hardly speak, and he could no longer toot
that horn. His heart was broken. He sus
pects his comrades of performing some dark
Incantation over him while be andSomnus
bunked together, bringing on his affliction.
Whether they did or not, lie was effectually
quieted, and ms horn was laid away for use
Some other day.
Kussell fcr a Department Officer.
A strong sentiment is developing among
the comrades of this locality toward Com
rade William O. Russell, of Post 181, for
Senior Vice Commandor next year. Com

possteeea oi great executive asilitv, and his

from a staff fci front of the building and

EE1I ESTATE A3 SECURITY FOR LOANS
Several new and important features were
noticeable in business circles last week. The
drop in the thermometer, the insurgent vic
tory la Chile, the revival of activity in
"Wall street, and the improvement in the
financial situation in Europe, were all bull
cards, and their combined effect will be to
give additional impulse to the upward
movement which set in two weeks ago.
There is nothing clearer than that present
conditions warrant an expectation of great
business activity and prosperity in this
oountry daring the next year or two.
.Locally there is everything to hope for and
nothing to fear. The swing Is upward, and
there is nothing in sight to check it.
Building a Block.
Mellon Bros, have started tho foundations
for a block of 80 brick two-story dwellings
on Parker street, Twentieth ward, running
from O'Hara' to College Btreets, on ground
purchased by them several months ago and
which they have improved. Tho houses, ac
cording to the estimates, will cost $1,500, or
430,000 in all. They expect to build 20 more
in the same locality.
Beat of the Tear.
Last week was, the best of the year
la the building line. A great many lot
owners who intended to build early in the
season, but were prevented by the strike,
are putting forth every effort to have tholr
places ready for occupancy before winter
sets in, and, as they have at least three
months to go on, success is assured in most
cases. During the week 58 permits were
taken out, representing 117 houses, the cost
of all being figured at $204,479. Tho number
of permits Issued theprevlous week was 62,
representing 72 houses, costing, as estimated,
$211,ES8. So far this year permits for 2,121
buildings have been issued, against 2,270 in
the same time last year. This gap will be
more than closed before snow flies.

there Is no scarcity of money in Pittsburg.
One of those opulent gentlemen said yester
day: "I am In a position to furnish any
amount from $1,000 to $50,000, on short notloe,
at 58 per cent. Long loans are preferred.

OTJTSXDE INFLUENCES BEGINNINO TO
aiAKE AN IMPRESSION.
A Narrow Market, but More Doing Nearly
AU tho Changes During the TTeek on
the Bull Side Gossip About Philadel
phia Gas and Electric
There were no surprises in, speculative
oircles last week, but there were a few good
features which strengthened the hopes of
the sangulno element. Bear cards wero
soarce. Yesterday's sales were 675 shares,
for the weok they were 1,830, against 532 the
previous week.
Final prices as compared with those of
the previous Saturday show the following1
changes: Philadelphia Gas gained , Cen
tral Traction , Pleasant Valley , Switch
and Signal , Airbrake 2, Electrlo
Wheeling Gas declined 2 on the fire at Mc
Donald, but finished with an upward ten
dency. Luster dropped lA, on considerable
pressure to sell. Tho drift, as will be seen
was upward, only two stocks in the active
list showing concessions.
Yesterday's market, during the short time
it lasted, was about the best of the week. It
was in closer sympathy with New York than
usual, and every bulge there struck a re
sponsive chord here, resultlhg in a respecta
ble volume of transactions and bettor
values. The result of the week's operations
was to leavo the market In good shape to re
spond to any further forward impulse. It
needs no argument to prove that the crucial
period of the year has been passed.
In regard to conditions affecting local
properties there Is nothing new to bo said.
The tractions are held back by reports ot
poor earnings, which may or may not be
true. Legal entanglements also have their
weight. Orders for Philadelphia Gas main
tain It on a respectful level. What effect
the advance in rates will have on It remains
to be seen. The question or supply for the
coming winter seems to have been lost sight
ofi The burden of opinion is that there will
be enough to go around.
Electric, as predicted some time ago, came
forward as an active factor in the market,'
Tho origin of the demand is somewhat un
certain, but it is quite irenerally credited to
the East, and Boston in particular. While
Pittsburg investors are friendly to the com
pany and wish it the fullest measure of suc
cess, it Is doubtful If, aftor their recent ex
perience, they are anxious to load up with
the stock before the efficacy of the new deal
shall be demonstrated bevond a peradven
tnre. Everything looks well on the surface
and may turn out even better than expect
ed. This will be known in a short time.
Sales yesterday were 20 shares of Citizens
Traction at 62W, 60 Central Traction at 16,
205Philadelphia Gas at 1 25 WheelingGas
at 21. After call 375 shares of assented Eleo
trio changed hands at 13 and 600 Eleotrio
scrip at 70.

THE WEEK IN OIL.
Trade Picking Up Slowly and tho Price a
Little Higher.
. The shadow of September fan upon t&e
market during the closing days of the
week, admonishing the traders that "switch
ing" time was near. This is a period when
extra precaution is taken to prevent
plnohes or squeezes in effecting settlements.
Trades are evened up as nearly as possible,
and few-new responsibilities assumed. The
result was a lower level of prices and a
light business.
Yesterday's range was: Cash opened at 62,
highest 65, lowest 62V, close 63. September
opened at 62K, close C lowest 62, close
63. Cash finished better than on Mon
day and September i better. The highest
point touched was 64 and the lowest 63.
Sales for the week wete about 60,000 barrels,
against 50,000 the previous week. This is
encouraging on the principle that half a
loaf is better than no bread.
Refined closed lower for the week at New
York and Antwerp. Yesterday's quotations
were: New York, 6.6006.65; London, 6d; An
twerp, 15Jif. In the items of daily average
runs and shipments, the weeks record shows
an increase in the former of about 2,000 bar
rels and a decrease In the latter of 600. Yes
terday's aveiages were: Runs, 78,532; ship
ments, 77.156.

WALI.
A Poor Bank Statement Has Not Even a
Momentary Effect The Highest Prices
for the Week The Market Closes Strong
Bonds Active.
New Yokk, Aug. 29. The stock market was
extremely active, the transactions for the
two hours of business being the largest
seen for that time in more than a year,
except during the November panio of last
year. The list displayed tho most pro
nounced strength, and, notwithstanding
that realizations in the advances of the
week were unusually large, tho demand was
such that prices halted only for a short
time and then resumed their upward move
ment all along the line. The buying was of
the beBt quality, and was very marked in
volume for both foreign and domestic oper
ators, the bullish feeling running very high
and carrying all before it.
The bank statement showed a further loss
on surplus reserve, but it had np effect even
for the moment, and the triumphant ad
vance met with no check after the first half
hoards trading.
The opening was strong at fractional ad
vances over last night's figures, and the early
demand sent the list further on its upward
march. The realizations here caused a tem
porary setback, but the buying was then
resumed in earnest and prices began a for
ward movement which lasted until the close.
The market finally closed very active and
decidedly strong at the highest prices for the
day and the week. The trading reached the
unusual total oi 23z,iis,
Railroad bonds kept pace with stqeks In
the amount or business done, though prices
are unchanged and business not so evenly
distributed. The total reached $2,474,000.
Closed at the Top.
John M. Oakley & Co. received the follow
lng from Watson & Gibsou: "The market
started off this morning with a strong, ad
vancing tendency, and, much better than
'was expected, the advanoe was resumed,
closing at the highest prices of the day. St.
Paul seems to hang back, but we believe it
will sell at considerably higher prices.
Atchison was strong on increased earnings
of $67,006 for the third week in August.
The pace has grown pretty rapid during
the past few days, and traders and the pub
lic alike have gotten over on the bull side.
The market Monday morning under the ac
cession of buying orders from tne country
should rise sharply under new transactions.
We advise our friends to tako profits for
transactions. Reactions do not discourage
the bulls; on the contrary they encourage
them, for they solidify values and give op
portunities to a new elientele. It takes
numbers to make a bull market, and one
operator does not and cannot do It.
"There appears to be a large short interest
in Burlington and Quincy, and quite a de
mand for the stock, it loaning flat to-day.
This shows that during the long period of
bear talk and actual decline Investors came
in and took away the certificates from the
street"
An Encouraging Outlook.
Henry Clews diagnoses the money market
In this wise: "Themoneymarket affords, on
the whole, an encouraging outlook. The re
serves of the banks have at last begun to de
cline freely under the drain of money to the
Interior, and large as the surplus Is, as com
pared with one or two years ago, yet it is
necessary for the banks 'to depend upon
being liberally reinforced with cash from
some outside source. Some amount mav be
expected after September 1 from the redemption-of
United States 4 per cents
about 21,000,000 of which remain to be ex
tended or redeemed;butwhatsum will be re
deemed the event only can show. The
main dependence of the banks must be upon
the return of gold from Europe, whioh seems
inevitable, the only open question being
that of amount. Apart from tho effects of
the prospective extraordinary exports of
wheat, it deserves notice that the national
exports are showing a large increase those
for. July being $S,200,K0 above the same
month of 1890 while the July imports fall
$U,200,000 below those of last year.
"Tho securities movement with London
has, within the last few days, changed from
one of return to that of export; and the rates
for sterling exchange show a weakening
tendency in sympathy. It may be ,a few
weeks before specie imports set in; but the
prospective movement is near enough to
prevent, in conjunction with the Treasury
payments for redeemed 4s, any important
stringency in the local loan market."

UNDER THE DOLLAR MARK.
A. Heavy Slump in Wheat Corn and Oats
Follow Suit A Good Business in the
Two Last at the Opening Provisions
Close TVeak.
CHICAGO Weakness was again the fea
ture on the Board of Trade to-day, eveiy
thing closing lower, andwheat going below
the dollar mark. The trading in cereals was
light, bnt provisions wero fairly active.
Wheat opened weak and lower, but there
were plenty of buying orders around $1 00
for December, and their execution caused
a temporary upward movement. December
started at $1 001 OOJfand soon advanced to
$1 00. Then came a lot of selling orders,
chiefly from New York, and renewed weak
ness was the result, prices quickly retiring
to $1 00 again. Here some stop orders were
reached, and the price was made 99Jc, with
ono or two sales at 99c.
Tho buying orders at $1 00 again came into
play and the crowd starting to take profits
on earlier sales made at over that price soon
put the market up again. The advance was
again checked when $1 01 had been
reached. Another slump to $100 followed,
but the buyers at that price were upon this
occasion overwhelmed by the vim of the
sellers, who, with things going their own
way, pressed their advantage and crowded
the price down to 99c about ten minutes
from the close. The Testing price was 99)c.
There was a heavy business done in corn
for about ten minutes near the opening, but
it quieted down after that time and was only
subjected during the remainder ot the ses
sion to occasional spurts of activity. A
nervous feeling prevailed and the move
ments of the cliqne brokers were watched
very closely. The receipts were much
heavier than had been looked for. The late
weakness in wheat was reflected in the corn
pit, and October, after having touched 57o
when wheat reached its highest figure, broke
to 65c, but rallied soon and closed at 56o.
The heaviest business in oats was done
early In the dav. The market was falrlv ac
tive bnt weak. Heavy receipts, free selling,
and the slump in other cereals were the in
fluences that governed the market.
There was temporary steadiness In the
market ror hog products in the opening, due
to the receipts or hogs being only 6,600, com
pared with 9.003 estimated vesterdav. and an
active demand for them was being reported
from the yards. The weakness in corn and
wheat caused a stop to any general desire to
buy which the small receipts at the yards
had started, and the steadiness gave place
to weakness, which was the character of the
business during the greater part of the ses
sion. The closing prices were from 7
12 cents lower for pork, 25 cents lower
for lard and ribs.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as correct

Constables After a Thief Find Borne TJ&
looked for .Game..
Qeebnsbtjro, Aug. 29. For some time
there has been more or less counterfeit
money in circulation in this and adjoining
counties, but where it came from or who
was manufacturing it could not be ascer
'tained to a certainty. Yesterday evening
Constables Dibler and Muffly, of'Bell town
ship, went to the residence of Thomas Bow
man, at Salina, to arrest him on a charge of
larceny. After he was arrested his daugh
ter. Mrs. Lizzie Mooney, handed over to the
officer five dies for the manufacture of
counterfeit money of various denomina
tions. Ibis aroused their suspicions and a search
was made ot the premises, which resulted in
the finding of a considerable number of
counterfeit dollars. Bowman is a tough
character, having served a term in the pen
itentiary for stealing a flock of sheep and
driving them to Pittsburg, where he sold
them. He is a widower, his wife having
died last spring."
