It men that will attend the National Kncampment noxt year at Washington will be a surprise to everyone lint thcmelvcs. Perhaps if the preparation that have been started within thepat eek or two continue, tho number of the local boys who attend the meeting will snrpriio even themselves. Some of the local posts have begun to organize clubs, some have tho clubs already organized, onie may organize and others say they have no need of a club, for the whole post will go in a body.

Department Commander Boj-er in general ordeis No. 13 says: "Tl-e attention of tho Department Commander nas been directed to the fact thai a number of posts in this de partment are equipping with felt hats with, gold cord and tassel, in lieu of the military cap. This is a clear violation of tho rules and regulations. The uniform adopted by the Department of Pennsylvania consists of retaliation military cap, single-hreastod blue blouse and pints, and white vest. Dark blue vest can be worn in Inclement weather. The number of the pot should appear In the Mre-ith i omen the cap instead of the let ters U. A. It., as is done in many instances. The cap is a distinctive feature of the Do- riartment or Pennsylvania, and as uniform ly in dress has always accorded this depart ment the highest credit upon all public demonstrations, the Department Command er trusts tha. commanders of posts will heed this notice, and require all members to con form to the uniform as adopted by the de partment."

National Councilor Stevens was muoh in terested in the tales about the Smoky City related t him by the delegates. , Brother Stevens ought to come here and get a peep at somo of our Iron mills and glass factories. It is feared that the promoters of the rival organization have been Just a trifle hasty in rushlug Into court for a charter. It cer tainly would have displayod more wisdom had they 'waited until after the session of tho national council. The western representatives feel that the principle which they succeeded In estab lishing in tho National Council is of more value to tho organization than'the capture of all tho offices would have been. Now, let all go to work, drop all feeling of prejudice against those who opposed them, and build up the organization. The "Western delegation did one very com mendable act at Waterbury by changing tho law so that in the future the board cannot refuse charters. The D, of L. will now pro gress.

WHEAT AND PROVISIONS Were Decidedly Weak on Chicago's Change Yesterday Hutchinson's Brokers Do a Pair Amount of Business on the Breaks Tho Country's Markets. CHICAGO Business in the wheat pit to day was light and tho market dull and featureless. There was little news of any kind and none that was infincntial. In the absence of business the feeling was weak and December "fell lo below yesterday's close, but rallied and recovered the loss just at the end of the session, closing H&0 lower. Liverpool was a fraction lower and London a trifle higher, with the early news from tho continent meager and colorless. Tho export clearances continued good, amounting for the Atlantic ports and Now Orleans to-day to over LOOO.COO bushels. Tho Now York market was easier, Snd domestic markets showed a tendency to weakness. Logan, White and Sohwartz-fDupee were rather liberal operators, and Milmlne Bodman bought freely on the weak spots covering short wheat held for New Yorle on the bulgo yesterday. Hutchison's brokers also bought a fair amount on the breaks, but their trading was not conspicuous. December wheat opened at $1 0D1 OOX. held at $1 001 00& some time, then touched $1 00. Closing cahlos came in lower, and the price sagged oil in sympathy therewith to V3l4c; there was a reaction to tl 00U. remained dull and steady till within ten minutes oi me ciose, wnen it advanced to $1 0C closing Ytja lower. Corn was easy early owing to the fact that the weather map failed to show any serious frost anywhere, in the com belt. This en couraged short selling and' there was less demand to cover. The opening price of October was KK59?.e, but It at once began to break and soon sold at 59c. Then, on a report that a cold wave had appeared in the Northwest and was moving toward the corn belt, there was a little scare, which was helped along by vigorous bidding by the clique, and October jumped to 60c. But the excitement soon subsided and tho price fell back to Kc. During the last hour corn developed a good deal of weakness on a suspicion that the clique was quietly selling all the market would tilke, and October, after touching 60Jc, broko to 59c, rallied to 89Xc and closed at 59c Oats were steady with fluctuations con fined to a range of 4& and closed at yester day's last price to Jc lower. Provisions had quite a boom; the feeling among outsiders is bull ish and there was good speculative buying and covering of shorts. Packers, however, aro fighting the advance. They claim to havo no luith in the supposed benefit to be derived from the action of Ger many, but It is cenerally supposed they aro more concerned about tho probable advance to live hogs, which would be pretty certain to follow a marked advaticom hog products. October pork opened at $10 S5, advanced to $11 22J and closed at $11 17 against $10 90 yesterday. Lard and ribs gamed 5c each. Die leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M.

Business Not Disturbed by Recent Private Financial Troubles, THE SPECULATiyE PULSE QUICKER Seal Estate Mora ActiTo and SeTeral Big Deals Brought to a Head, TEAKSKFBS AND THE BUILDING BECOBD The fall season is now i fairly opened. Notwithstanding several recent local events of a character to disturb confidence, the most conservative and well-informed business men agree that the outlook for in dustry and trade in this section is first class. It abates nothing from the sympathy extended to those who met reverses since last November to note the fact the cause in each case has been special in place of arising from general conditions. Begin ning with the Electric Company difficulties last winter now substantially tided over and coming down to the Standard Plate Glass embarrassment, and the personal losses connected with or incidental there to, .want of sufficient cash back of iarge nominal stock capitalization has been the cause of most of the difficulties. "Where business opportunities have been first-class operations have been embarrassed by not having cash resources equal to the oppor tunity and to the demands of tho business. If "water" had been religiously forsworn In every instance at the organization of local industrial companies any serious impedi ment would not have arisen In the way of a continuously profitable business in any one case. It Is well to note the above point for fu ture guidance. Reinforcement for it is found in the fact that there has been no interrup tion to any business stocked on a hard pan basis. The general industries of the district are In good shape. There was early last week some stringency in money circles, but that has about disappeared and the outlook now is good, with immense prosperity expected to come to tho oonntry at large from the enormous crops. A quick demand for manu factured articles will ensue and Pittsburg may be On the lookout for its share In this revival through the winter and spring. It takes a long time to get a whole com munity nrousod to an active state of mind onapnblio project particularly where the project is planned to cost $25,000,000, yet we notice that our business men are talking a good deal these days about tho desirability and oven necessity for the canal to the lakes. At i per cent tha total cost of the canal would represent an Interest charge of $1,000,003 peryear. Even If it were thrown open free, except for such nominal charges as would pay for attendance and repairs, this would be but a comparatively small sum for the industries and interests of the Pittsburg district to pay for the enormous advantages. Bnt the best Judges estimate that while affording the cheapest transpor tation the canal will pay handsomely on tho Investment. Real estate in Allegheny county alone Is assessed at near $300,000,000. It would bo enhanced In value by the in crease of the city's business resulting from a canal. A Glance at the Week. Trade ohanges during the week were for the better. The movement of gold In this direction had a good effeot. The removal of the German embargo on American pork was another strong feature. The money market was rather sensitive, as it always is on the evo of a busy season, but there was no scarcity of funds, and good borrowers wero accommodated without stint. Railroads were employed to their full capacity, nnd earnings wero large. Local manufacturing was active, and jobbers had about all they 'could do. Confidence was strong, and talk was largely on tho favorable conditions for trade and tho outlook for a long porioo1 of prosperity. A Shadyslde Deal. Among the best deals in real estate during tho week was one by Liggett Bros. They sold for Thomas H. Chapman to Thomas J. Hawkins, George Hoard and Sarah L. Hitchcock, 400 feet on Atlantic avenue, near Liberty avenue, Shadyslde. This property is in the immediate neighborhood of that purchased by the C. M. E. Church, and is tho eighth sale of vacant property made in that distriet within the last SO days. Tho price, as might be expected, was somewhat altl tudlnous, but for special reasons it cannot be given at present. Transfers for the Week. Tho following table shows the number and amount of transfers of real estate filed In tho Recorder's office for the week'endlng on Saturday: xrensrers. a ' Value $29,295 67.070 64, 055 74,331 87, 410 69,3T3 Monday...., Tuesday....

C. Stewart of tho Kennedv property, on Neville street. Shady side, to Mrs. Mary S. Rankin, of St. Louis, for $17,500 cash. Sho will occupy it as a resi dence, having decided to shake tho dnst of St. Louis from her feet and locate in Pitts burg. A Progressive Avenue. Judging from the interest manifested Dy buyers in tho Shadyside district, present prices, $70 to $80 a foot, must be considered bargains. Among those who havo bought in this quarter are some of the bestpeoploin the city, who are putting up fine residences for themselves. Murray Hill avenue, Just east of Roup street, which six months ago was neither paved nor sewered, and had only ono dwelling, and it unfinished, is now completely revolutionized, being paved, sewered and sidewalked. and has 13 fine dwolllnes, ranging In price from $5,000 to $15 000.

Bears Unable to Beat Baek the Riling Tide Bullish Conditions Make a De cided Impression Business and Fluct uations of the Week Traction Talk. The week was one of encouragement to all who dabhlo in stocks. The strongest card was the shipment of gold to this country, assuring a full and easy money market for a long time to come. Large railroad earnings and expressions of confldencein the future were important factors in strengthening the situation. Final prices as compared with those of tho previous of 8atnrday show the following changes in tho active list: Philadelphia Gas gained , "Wheeling Gas X. Central Traction Vi, New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Electric 2 Airbrake SV. Luster lost and Switch and Signal J. It will be seen from this that all the changes except- two wero improvements. 1110 rest 01 tne list was steady to strong, but barren of features. The unlisted trac tions gave forth no Blgn of immediate im provement. Until their environments as sume u hotter complexion they ill prob ably drag along at the tail end of the mar ket. Lan suits, disputes over right of way, renorted losses of operation? and possibility of the absorption of one of them,. are re sponsibilities which few investors care to assume.

In Recent Deals Showed TJp VTemk Lead ing Features of the Day. New York, Sept. 5. The stock market to day showed on the whole a moderate vol ume of business, and while displaying a strong tono during most of the timeailed to scoro material advances In the stocks which.havo of late been most prominent in tho dealing. Other stocks, however, wero taken up by the interests identified with them and advanced materially. In these gains tho Vanderbilts, and. especially the low-priced ones, were the features. The bears at the outset endeavored to make more capital out or the frosts Teported last nizht.but tho temper of the room was decidedly bull ish still, and, aided by. liberal pur chases for both foreign and domestic account, the demonstration in the early dealings was fruitless except in the strong stocks of yesterday, -which were retired fractionally lower. The opening figures were generally slight fractions better than last night's prices while Reading was up per cent. The mar ket closed active and stTong, with most of the list at the highest prices of the day.

The tost says: Tho bank statement wns something or a surprise, a3 It had been gen erally expected that tho receipts, on account of bond redemption and other transactions of the Treasury, would nearly counterbal ance the losses on interior shipments. The loss -of nearly $3,COO,000 in cash was therefore disappointing. No effort was made, however, to sell the market ff as a consequenco of this disappointment. It Is obvious, in fact, that the professional traders aiem'.ro fearful of staying too long on the short side than of committing them selves to the rise. The publication of the statement was followed by a rsharp buying movement. In the course of which nearly all stocks touched in the last 15 minutes, the best prloes of the day.

No Tronble Abont Money. John M. Oakley A Co. received the follow ing: "The stock market to day farther con firmed our Judgment that the week's reac tions were over. Foreign houses were liber al buyers, and the German element seems to be especially impressed by the removal of the prohibition against the introduction of American pork into Germany. There were ordinary fluctuations after a strong open ing, but before the close prices were up to the highest point, and the bull tide was again rising. "Mr. Jay Gould retnrned from his West ern trip to-dav, bnt did not come down to the street. He is said to be in good health and spirits, and it is generally believed that his return will reinforce the bull ranks. The ratification yesterday by the Union Pacific Executive Committee of the plan for ex tending the floating debt locks as If Mr. Gould was thoroughly satisfied in that direc tion. "The bank statement to-day showed a heavy loss in cash and in surplus reserve. out it naa no uniayoraoie euect upon prices. There was a largotmovement of money to tho interior this week, which counted hich in the averages, while the payments for bonds purchased by the Government were not made till lato in the week, and So they only figured moderately In the statement. The banks are undoubtedly better off to night than the statement of average. TheraH need be little fear that speculation will have any trouble from the condition of the money market. There will be larze disbursements by tho Treasury in tho noxt two weeks, and before that time wo will undoubtedly re ceive further supplies of gold from Europe. "The season for crop scares on corn is not yet over, but we advise our clients to put little faith in any stories about frost unless there bo news of a very serious nature The best informed grain men say that an enor mous corn crop is almost assured. It will require damago to present it from being al most as phenomenal as the wheat yield. Railroad bonds continue in good demand with prices booming. TVbllo this lasts no one need worry about tho strong market. TVe look for considerably higher prices tho coming week." Higher Range Predicted. Henry Clews A Co. say: "The upward movement which started" so energetically several weeks ago continued to hold full sway during the early part of the present week, the result being another sharp ad vance in nearly all the prominent shares; but at this juncture tho longlooked-for reac tion mado its appearance, and the most suc cessful bull campaign seen for many a day was brought temporarily to a halt, nnd the bears for tho first time In five weeks were allowed to take an inning. When it is taken into consideration the enormous advance which has taken place in such stocks as Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy, Rock Island, Lake Shore, Missouri Pacific, Northern Pa cific preferred, and, in fact, all the promi nent shares actively traded in, it is not sur prising that tho market should receive a setback; but on the other hand, to have been able to stand the strain of moving in one direction for so long a period, notwith standing free realizings from time to tjme, cleat ly demonstrates the good quality of the market and tho improved condition" of aflairs brought about by ,the wonderful crops with which this country has been blessed. Tfikimr the situation ns a whole, it is cer tainly favorable to nn ultimately higher. range of values; Duttnere are several wings on the surface which may retaid for the time being any further pronounced upward movement, and which it will be well not to loso sight of. Union P&ciflc's affairs still continue to be somewhat tangled; rumors of a receiver, together with 11 statement that the collaterals held against an uncanceled loan had been thrown on the market by a bank which became impatient at the delay in tnking the loan up, have caused that stock to be looked upon again wiMi a little suspi cion both at homo and abroad. Another thing to be watched is the statements issued Dy the Bank 01 .ngmnu as naving a bearing on the future conditions of affairs across tho water. This week's statement shows that the proportion of reserve to lia bility has declinKi from 45.77 last week to 45.23 this week, and tho decrease in the re serve for that period amounted to .305,000. These figures In themselves havo no especial significance, as the reservo is still slightly above, last year; but it should not bo forgot ten that the Old Country will soon be called upon to disgorge a larce amount or gold which she so ruthlessly took from us, and when that happens her reserves will natu rally decrease. 'In view of this, the Bank of. England's governors are likely to advance their rate of discount soon, which will naturally havo the effect of making money dealer abroad, and consequently more diffi cult for tho foreigners to carry our stocks, which at present tiicy have a good supply of. "The factor, however, of more importance than any other at the present time, as it is the one calculated to do- the most mischief if developed, is the cold weather in the Northwest, which seems to be moving in several directions and which may yet do serious injury to some portions of the corn crop, as it will bo two or three weeks beiore ail corn win uo out 01 uuugrr u uui trust. ja before stated, the situation ns a whole has aJ promising look for the future. But while" thesesoinewhat uncertain factors aro hov ering over tho market it will bo well to move cautiously, and when good profits isnke their appearance it will be advisable to se cure them. .The market is liable to show more activity from now on, especidllyas the lending 'bear' will soon he home to take a hand In the game. Good opportunities, therefore, will be afforded for quick turns." The Final rignres. The following table shows the prices of active stocks in the IN ew York Stock Exchange vesterdav.
