JIIE SHORTAGE OF GAS Proves HelpM to the Coal Trade and Elicits a Strong Demand FOE THE BEATIKG APPLIANCES. Coffee Statistics Demonstrate That Prices Must Decline. THE nniEKSE RECEIPTS OF BANANAS Oiticb or Pittsbcko Dispatch, ) Tuesday, kept. 1, J The shortage of natural gas and conse quent high prices have already had a sen sible effect on tome important industries. The return of a multitude of gas consumers to ccal has very greatly stimulated demand for the old-time fuei. Already large num bers are making preparations to go back to the old methods of healini:. Coal miners who found their ocenr-at'on gone the past two or three wicta a b- reason of the ad Vent of nature- gas are new ready to go to work again, and from present outlook gas tor heatins wil ere long be a luxury only to been joyed by the few with whom ccst is no item. In addition to increased demand for coal there is a strong demand for stores. The retirement of gas brings a demand for new styles of heating apparatus. A representa tive of one of oar leading stove manufac turing Arms had this to sav of trade: "The outlook for a good fall trade was never better. There is a strong demand for pus lurnnees which economize heat and make It do its -work without waste from cellar to garret. Ur.de cue old recinic one-half or more of the gji consumed by the house holder was wasted. .Sow. with a gas lurcace in the cclur, all the heat is utilized. "These skis furnaces n.- o constructed that thev cannsdilybtcha".-edto coal with very Jittie additional expenss There has been an extraordinarv demand for gas furnaces of late, and the" way orders are coming in proves that we are to have trad s in this fine this fall, which will exc.ed anything in the past." It is clear tha i there must be an entire chance of tactti in the line of heat ing appliances in tb. -e.r lutnre. It will be hard for the liouseV jeper to go back to old time methods. T'.ls means greater labor and more dtit, but It now looks as thouah the time is near when oniy tuo rich can indulge in n tnrjl gas. Coffee Statistics. Statistics on coffee poluito lower prices. Eio coffoes of the new crop are coming in freely, and markets are weak. The tota'. stock of coffee at Eio, according to latest reports, was 231.0X1 bags, azainst 167,000 bags for the coi responding period last year. The daily average.i eccipts last week at Bio were 13,000 bags. There were shipped to Europe last week 32,030 bags and to thl United States 6J.10J bags The visible supply of Kio coffee at New York is figured at 350,070 bag asrainst 37i.27o bags this tims a year ago, and 430,620 bogs for the same lime in 1SS9. Total receipts of the crop at Kio up to August 27 were 699.C30 hags. Same time a year ago receipts wore 434,000 bags, tamo time in 1339. 881,005 bags. Receipts at Bantoi are reported heavier than at Rio. It Is evident that the Eio coffee crop this sea ron is unusually large and that future changes aie likely to be toward a lower level. Java coffees are not so abundant,and markets are eported very Arm. Coffee and sugar are lower to the consumer this year than they have been for many a year. A year ago our sugar cost from 2c to 3c per a more than at this time. Cheap sugar and cheap fruit will very greatly reduce household expenses this fall as compared a ith last fall. The Banana Trade. It is within the memory of people not very old when bananas were brought to this city by the barrel. The pion eer of our produce commission mer chants, who Is still hale and hearty, said re cently: "When I brought tho first barrel of bananas to this market, along in the early sixties, there was no demand, and I had hard work to get rid of mv stuff." This week the receipts of bananas have already reached 30 carloads, and, before the week is out, re colots will no doubt reach SO carloads. The rroduce commission man who, a quar ter of a century ago, had an ele phant on his hands when he re ceived n barrel of baaanas, 4it this day only talks o! carload lots. Were it not for the immense crop of peaches and other do mestic fruito, our market would have little trouble taking in the 30 carloads of bananas received on Monday. The tact that we are capable of absorbing 100 carloads of peaches In a week, ns well as a half hundred car loads of bananas, proves that we have grown to be of considerable importance among the trade centers of the land. WHEAT VERY CHANGEABLE. Testerday the Bears Were Ahead Again Until Near the Close, When a Spurt Took Flace Corn Weak at First, but Soon Braces Up. CHICAGO Again tha sentiment In the wheat pit changed during the night. Yes terday it was bullish andan advance of over 4 cents was scored; to-day it was bearish and at the bottom price of the session was 5 cents under yesterday's last price, though the close show ed a recovery of 1 cent. The wheat bought yesterday for Decem ber at aronnd $LC4 was all for sate at a con siderahle lcd-ction as soon as business started this morning, Uuyers were as hard to And at the start as sellers were yesterday morning until the asking price had gotten donn to to about $Mh'J. Thereweie a few sales at $103 and ?r,u:i at $.102, but the great bnlk of the firt trades weie made at sround $L0Jl.O2K, with the offerings so great as to pre ent any recovery to speak of from those prices. the estimates this morning, based on the per coinage figure of the Vienna Congress, were much less bullish tlian those made ?-estorday, as they put the world's shortage n wheat at only S0,XK) bushels. There were cat lacking thpe, however, who were unable to fee how thct-e figures were armed at. The trade, ho -ever, inclined strongly to tlie hear side, and a heavy business was done. Tli. price tended stiongiv downward and not until alter December had sold as low as $1.01 was there any rebound from the sever al lrsses it had made. There was some good buying, partly for foreign account, about mid-way in the ses sion, which causfid a sudde-i spurt to $1 02. The Board of Trade's second Liverpool !. n Oir.tt-(n ft dnHnrt rtf frrn. 3A1rl coming to hand about the time of tne cul mination of the temporal y advance, gave mu.x encouragement to the sellers and they quickly lorced the price down to $1 O0. There was some tendency toward a slight recovery from the last drop during the last houi, lut trading, which up to that time had been brisk, quieted down and orders lrom the outside almost ceased. There was thi usual active spnrt during the last tcn;n!n ntes of the seMcn. 3 he price, being in fluenced by the closing bulge in com, rcov eicd to and clo-i d at $1 0IJ.

The tendency continued down ward for about an hoar, in sympathy with she weakness in w heat, but after October had declined to 56Jic tho market began to take an independent course, and a tecoverv to 57c tnok place, and after temporarily ductuatiug between tlio latter fljrme anil Klc it made a rapid advance to OSJic. Firm-ic-; was the latest characteristic of the truditur, and the reactions In a downward direction wcro quickly recovered lrom SSMo, being the trading price about 20 minutes from the close of the session, w ith the hcrt sellers evidently anxious, as shown by lc further Ad laneo in the lollowir.g flvemin utcs5PMc and for one or two lots 59-lc being paid.

Encouraginsr Outlook for a Big Fall Trade in All Lines. NO FEAE OF A MONET SQUEEZE. Little Trading lut Some Good Features Developed in Local Stocks. OFFICE AND STREET NEWS AND GOSSIP Eight months of the year have passed into history. Up to August trade was seriously handicapped by conditions, and influences which paralyzed activity and discouraged enterprise. Tight money at the beginning and labor troubles later on put business' on the defensive. August opened under better auspices. The big crops began to hove their effect, the outpour of gold to Europe was checked, and confidence took the place of distrust and uneasiness. Improve ment grew with the month, and when, yes terday, September stepped into its place, there was everything to encourage the hope that the forward Impulse would bo maintained, not only for the remninder of the year, but for several years to come. The money question Is, of course, para mount In any forecast of the future. Fears of a tight market appear to be unfounded. Gold is already returning from Europe. AH of the financial centers report sufficient funds for all business purposes. Apprehen sions of this kind do not affect people who are looking to ultimate results. On this subject a leading New York banker is quoted In the FlnanstcU Chronicle as saying: "When the danger of a pinch comes you will see gold flowing back from across the Atlantic. Meantime i.t is, perhaps, well for Wall street to keep its eyo skinned for finan cial trouble. It may in that way moderate its transports and permit the inevitable rise to come along in a natural and legiti mate way. But as for a repetition of last year's tight money I do not seo anything of the kind approaching. The thing that was lacking then wtfe confidence. There is plenty of confidence now, and confidence begets money when money is wanted." The fact is tha"t tho confidence which seemed to be somewhat wavering a month ago has reasserted itself, and business and financial interests are now united In takinga cheei ful view of the outlook so far as money is concerned. Heal estate is fast recovering Its wonted activity. There is a good Inquiry for all de scriptions of property. A number of large deals have been consummated within the last few days, nnd (others are cooking. Every day the prospect for a heavy fail business grow bettor and better. Advertis ing is meeting with prompt responses. Another reflection of the lavorable out look and revival of confidence is shown in the improved demand for bonds and the better speculative conditions caused by the favorable outlook fo- the railroads, tho crop situation here, and the probable export movement of cereals. With ordinary pru dence, the conntry is reasonably certain of severa. years ot prosperity. Business Newa and Gossln. The Allcchenv branch of Christ Church I may be located on Stockton avenue.

Stockholders of tho Westinghouse Airbrake Company held their annual meeting at Wil merding. Mr. George Westinghouse, Jr., read a report of operations for tho year, showing earnings, $5,004,179 W: expenses, 3,S0S,S33 28; profits, $Li.9i,79. 93. la the ex pense account Is Included depreciation of propertv. machinery and patents, amount ing to $132,142 56. Officers and directors were chosen as fol- Jr.; for Vice President, Robert Pitcairn: for .Directors, ueorge v cstingnousc, u r., imuci Pitcairn, H. H. Westinghouse, John Cald well, T. W. Welsh, A. M. llyers, W. W Card. On tho strength of tho report the stock ad vanced to 1060110, with none offered, i There was considerable skirmishing for a 100-share lot or Pittsburg and Western pre ferred, for which 21 was bid, but only 80 shares were offered. Tnls is the best price for this stock for a year or two. Electrio was strong nt 13 bid, but sellers we.re not around. Luster held Its own. Late advices from the mine say the new mill Is in opera tion. An output of $12,000 will pay 6 per cent on the capital invested. t Theie were bids for Manufacturers' Gas and New York and Cleveland Gas Coal, but they amounted to nothlne. They are in hands able to hold them. Boatman's Ifisur ancewas bid up to 33. Wheeling Gas hejd fastat20bid. Third National Bank was offered down from 123 at the first call to 121 at the second a case of must, perhaps. The tractions developed some improve ment, 8i being bid for central assessment paid. Pittsburg was steady at 36 bid. Pleasant Valley held advanced ground. Birmingham was offered at 17. Dnqnesne was neglected. Some attention has been paid by local financiers to a prospectus out lor the United States Glass Company, being a combination of 13 glass manufacturers of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio wnich was spoken of not long ago in the news reports. The company, it appears, estimates the value of Its property, Including real estate, buildings, machinery, personal property, etc., at $2,675. 401 77. This they make a basis for capital ization In their new corporation at 4,000.000, paying themselves 3.67M91 77 of tho stock at par nnd creating $1,000,000 ofpreferred stock, a portion of which Is now offered to the pub lic to supply, it is stated, working capital. If tho capital of, the new concern were merely on a basis of the estimated value of the property put Into it, ifs earnings, tho Iirospectus says, would bo 12 per cent. Tho ocal market since last December lias, how ever, been somewhat chary of the stock of Industrial corporations; and though the prospectus of this one indicates good earn ing capacity, the local financial situation is not the most favorable for it just now. Bids nnd asking prices at each call are appended. , THIRD CALL B A EXCHANGE STOCK. V. P.S. AM. Ex Arsenal Hank..., Airy Nat. Bank, Commerc'l N. B. Freehold Bank.. K. T. & T. Co... IronCltvN. B...

DE- Losses Recovered and Additional Gains Scored Shares Comparatively Inactivo Except Among tho Leader Business Mncli Smaller Than on the Previous Day Bonds- Qnlet. . .New York, Sep. L ThPre was nothing in the news this morning, either foreign or do mestic, to cause any change in he temper of the stock speculation, and the advices Qf tho day were of a uniform character from a bull point of vjew. Nevertheless, the prices made in London this morning before the opening of the Stock Exchange here were materially lower than our figures of last evening, and the opening of this market was made In sympathy with the lower prices on the other side, bringing losses, which extended in the active shares to 1 percent. The London cables, however, reported heavy selling by .houses with American connections, and the explanation of the lower figures was readily seen to be manipulation from this side, which was continued with vigor Jn the early dealings cere. To-day's operation was only aTepetltlon of ihe old programme, and the concessions brought about Dy tne manipulation referred to were not only recovered in the later deal ings, bnt fractional udvancos were scored all along the line, and In some instances material gains were retained at the close of business. Offerings were readily absorbed, and when the buying power was reinforced in the afternoon prices moved up in many cases sharply. Among the features of the early dealings was the strength manifested by the Wheel ing and Lake Erie stocks, and the advantage gained at that time was held throughout the day. The apparent foreign selling was aimed specially at Union Pacific and Louis ville and Nashville, and those two stocks were depressed more than any others In tho active list, the losses at tho lowest point being 2 and 2 per cent respectively. Thfcse were recovered later in the day, but each closed with a largo-fractional loss for the day. On the otherhand, the Grangers, in cluding Atchison, were heavily traded in and displayed marked strength without securing any material improvements, as also did the Villards. The general list was less active than yes terday, nnd notwithstanding the activity in the leading shares tbo total business done falls far short of that of yesterday. The rally In the afternoon reached all portions or the list, bnt professional realizations in the last hour prevented the best figures being maintained at tho close, which, how ever, was firm and active. The final changes aro about equally divided between the gains and lobses of small fractions, hut the Wheel- FIRST SECOND CALL CALL B A B A 390 4(0 70 .... 7 .... .... 68 95($ 80 .... 155 .... 155 .... 62 1(3 .... 5J34.... 130 .... .... 125 .... 121 32 CO .... 50 3H 7 25 .... :o 12 ....

CHICAGO DEALERS GOBBLK UP ALL ELGIN BUTTER AVAILABLE. Royalty Exacted From Bayers Tho Veg . etable Market Is Overstocked, and Prices Tend Lower Cereals Are Dull and Drooping. Office of Pittsbtoo Dispatch, ) Tuesday, Sept. L ( Country Produce (Jobbing prices) Advices from Elgin indicate no'advance in creamery butter. But, in fact, there was an advance of 2c per pound over last Mon-, day's prices. Chicago dealers gathered in all available goods and require a 2a royalty. Certain it is that Pittsburg buyers are com pelled to pay 2e fer pound more than was demanded a week ago. There is not a little complaint of the Ohio creamery bntter com ing to our market of late that it tastes of rag weed. The same is charged against Wisconsin creamery. Choice grades of Elgin are free from this objection, and there is little doubt that we will havo a 30c market before the week Is out. Now York cheese is relatively lower here than at sources of sup ply, and prices promise to advance. Eggs are also ou the advance, markets being quoted as high in Chicago as here. Vegeta bles are still in abundant supply, and mar kets favor the buyer. Tomatoes, cabbage, encumbers and sweet potatoes are -particularly dull. Supply of peaches fell below ex pectations to-day and .markets are firmer. Other fruits are dull nnd slow. Bananas are in supply far beyond wants of trade, and with the great abundance of domestic fruit, are poor stock at present.

There were no sales on call at tho Grain Exchange to-day, As receipts havo been liberal for the week past, and sales on call have been few and far between, It Is evident that outside trading is largeorstockis heavy in the hands of dealers. There is very little life to cereal markets. Buyers only pur chase for their immediate wants, and specu lative influences are absent. There is no disposition to deal in futures In the present uncertain condition of markets. Receipts as bulletined at the Grain Exchange to-day were S3 cars, making a total of 81 carloads for the first two days of the woes:. Of to-day's recelpts24 cars, were by Pictsbunr, Cincin nati and St. Louis Railroad, as follows: 8 cars of oats, 12 of corn. 1 or middlings and bmn, 1 of feed, 1 of hay. By Pittsburg, Ft.

A New .Disease Destroying the Sport of Anglers in the Vicinity of Ebensbnrg. EBEitsBuno, Sepf.l. Special. Fishermen are rather puzzled by a peculiar 'disease which has broken out among the bass near this place. Tho fish are as gamey as ever, bnt are unfit for eating on acconnt of being filled with little white worms. The disease seems to be spreading and promises to ruin the fine bass fishing which has ruled hither to in these waters. The Fish Commissioner of the Erie hatch eries has made a visi t hero to Investigate and cannot explain the disease, which he says is new to him. He will pursue his in quiries further. D05T BE DECEIYED by dealers who "cut" prices. "Cut ting" prices leads to "cutting" goods. For this reason and to protect the pub lic, the genuine medicines of Dr. K. V. Pierce are now sold only through regu larly authorized agents, who can sell only ai the following long-established prices : , Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery (for tbo Liver, Blood and Lungs), . . $1.00 per bottle. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription (for woman's weaknesses and derangements), $1.00 per bottle. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets (for the liver), 25 cents per vial. The genuine medicines, which can be had only at these prices, are the cheap est remedies you can use, for they're guaranteed. It's "value received or no pay." In every case where Dr. Pierce's medicines fail to give satisfaction, the makers will return the money. But, they want to be sure that you get their medicines, and not their bottles refilled or tampered with, or spurious imitations. Refuse everything offered as Dn Pierce's medicines at less than the above prices. They are generally spu rious. JAS. 5L SCHOOXMAKER, President. ut; jr coPTBlOirr, 1S9L X if JAS.
