" The forward march of events met with no
interruption during the week. Locally
there were one or two uncanny occurrences,
which caused a ripple of excitement in
business circles, but they had been dis
counted and did no barm. The-monetary
situation was clearer and more favorable.
Considerable gold was received from Eu
rope., Orders for iron came in liberally.
"Wheat exports were the largest on record.
Railroad earnings increased. Beal estate
was active and building operations almost
up to high-water mark. But better than
all, confidence was strengthened. This was
a distlnot gain and cannot fall to exercise a
refreshing influence upon every Industrial
and commercial interest.
B
The agricultural situation has dominated
the business and financial Interests so com
pletely of late that the condition of leading
manufacturing industries has been almost
lost sight of for the time being. Predictions
havo been freely made that the large grain
crops and the rapid movement and export
thereof must soon react favorably npon the
agricultural Communities, and in turn show
an improved demand for manufactured
articles, and so produce renewed and wide
spread activity in almost every line of bus
iness. Pittsburg has nothing to complain
of and much to expect.
W. C. Berlnger & Co. are about closing the
sale of a piece of vacant property to one of
the local railroads. The deal involves about
$30,000. Transportation companies are so
crowded with business tha't they find It
necessary to Increase their facilities for
handling it. This speaks well for Pittsburg.
Tbe fire limits of the city of Pittsburg, as
defined by city ordinance and act of Assem
bly, comprise all of the First, Second, Third,

lying between the Pittsburg, Virginia and
Charleston and Panhandle Railroads.

Architects are busy with small buildings,
but have very little of special importance on

W. Offerman has made designs for a four
story flat; or apartment house, at the corner
of Center avenue and Devllller street, for
Mr. George Zeremy, the undertaker. It will
have all conveniences, including an ele
vator, and will be furnished this season.
Tbe cost will be $10,000 or more. He has also
made plans for a fine dwelling at Ingram for
Mrs. Batten.
The Citizens' Street Railroad Company
has been organized at Zanesvllle, O., with a
capital of $150,000 and F. M. Townsend as
President. The road will be five miles In
length and may be extended to points out
side tho citv. Motive power will be eleo
tricitv. Here is an Illustration of the way Is which
real estato is '-going to sticks." An owner
Wylle avenue, whose property Is worth, on
a fair basis, about $3,000, fell into the notion
that evervbod wanted it, ant put the prioe
no to $8,000. After holding it for soma time
he yesterday accepted the price first named.
This Is a big drop, of course, but it should he
attributed to extravagant ideas. He got all
his property was worth. Reasonable values
are as firm as the hills. .
The September corn deal which was oetng
engineered by New Torkperators in the

STRONG AND ACTIVE.
lOnT TORK MARKETS CLOSED WITH
PRICES HIGHER.
The Best Prices of tho Day Brule ttt the
Close The Bayers Greatly Outnumbered
the Sellers Bonds and Stocks Firm, and
Steady.
New Tork, Sept. 19. The stock market to
day was extremely active at the opening,
showing a marked decrease on that point
from tho heavy trading of yesterday, and
while displaying considerable irregularity
was in the main decidedly strong and the
result of the two hours seen to-day
is to leave most of tho list fractionally
higher than lasF evening and some aro
materially so. Tho Importation of gold was
the chief item of news with a tendency to
affect values, but there was littlo said about
it and it mar be doubted whether it had any
material influence in making the gains of
the day.
The opening was strong and very active,
and while most of the list wero fractionally
higher than last evening, Burlington at 99
was up 1 per cent. It was natural thajt
after such a gain there should be some reac
tion in tho stock and being Joined by Read
me affected tho rest of the list to a limited
extent. Realizations were the chief factor
In such declines as w ere seen, hut the de
mand for stocks was still very urgent and
tho buyers outnumbered the sellers and the
course of prices was soon again turned in
the direction of higher figures. In the up
ward movement the Grangers had flrst
place, but there were a few other leading
shares whicli commanded attention
on acconnt of their strength, among which
Lake Shore and Northern Pacific preferred
were most prominent. Among the special
ties Distillers wns conspicuous because of
the sharp loss of 3 per cent in the early
trading, but this was afterward entirely
made up, while Buffalo, Rochesterand Pitts
burg was very strong on light trading. The
bank statement shows only a nominal loss
in the reserves while exhibiting a material
increase in tho deposits and a heavy ex
pansion of loans, and was considered good.
Tho traders again went in to cover their
shorts in the final dealings, and the market
dovelopcd marked strength, finally closing
active and strong-at the best prices of the
day. The final changes of note comprise
advances in St. Paul 1, Northern Paciflo
pro.erred 1. Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts
burg and Sugar each 1, Lako Shore 1 per
cent.
The Post says: Most significant, perhaps,
of all the incidents of tbe week in its bear
ing upon finances, both here and in Europe,
is the breaking down of the last obstacle
placed by the Bank or England in the way
or our import or gol 'this morning's
cables brought news of heavy engagements
of the precious metal in London, the total
engagements in that citvpublicly announced
now footing up $1.230000. with probably as
much more contracted for bnt not vet made
public. According to tho dispatches most
exchange yesterday being sufficient to meet
the premium imposed by tho English bank.
It is not easy to conjecture whore tbe move
ment will stop, for the heavy purchases of
our securities by London has, during the
present week, upset most previous calcu
lations. It is interesting to recall now the
predictions of wiseacres three months ago
that the Englishmen would prevent gold
imports from that city by selling American
securities to settle the trade debt.
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy, with no loans, closing offered at Zi
per cent. Prime mercantile paper, o
per cent. Sterling exchange quiet and
steady at $4 E0J for 60-day Dills and $4 83 for
demand.
Thb total sales of stocks to-day were 307,671
shares, including: Atchison, 18,820: Chicago
Gas, 6,210; Chicago E, preferred, 4,483: Erie,

' Bullish Predictions Justified.
John M.. Oakley's correspondents wixedt-J
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,
"We were somewhat bullish in our express
ion yesterday, but we think the record of
to-day's market will Justify even our most
positive statements of late. A brief analy
sis of it may be thus summed np: Quotations
from London came strong and our market
opened exceedingly firm with a bullish feel
lngBtill largely predominating, and many
stocks have to-day scored the highest prices
yet made; Late shoie, for Instance, touched
PK; St.Paul.75K; North era Pacific preferred,
7 and Misouri Pacific 1b. These prices
naturally seem high when compared with
tho low figures made in the spring, but it
also must be borne In mind that the prices
then touched were many of them forced be
low figures which would consistently repre
sent their intrinsic value.
After 11:80 a" slight reaction occurred upon
the appearance of the bank statement,
which showed a decrease of $9G6,000 in the
reserve, but this decrease was to be expect
ed. The banlls are having a gradually in
creasing demand from the commercial com
munity, and as general, business improves It
is to be expected that the demand will in
crease. It may load to higher rates for
monoy, but there will be enough to go
around and we have no fears of any serious
disturbance in the money market. The
slight concession which followed the an
nouncement or .the reserve deorease was
quickly followed by a sharp recovery, and
the closing prices were the highest or the
week as well as of the current movement.
As prices advance It may be expected that
we shall have reactions; It is natural that
they should occur; It will be better ror the
stock market if we have thorn, but they will,
in our Judgment, afford an excellent oppor
tunity for still further purchases of good
stocks, as all the conditions throughout tbe
country point to still higher prices.
"The week terminates one of the most suc
cessful yet experienced in the present bull
campaign. Several of the foreign exchange
houses have to-day received advices that an
additional amonnr of gold will be forwarded
to them from Europe and we believe these
shipments must continue to be made as the
payments for our cereals will be large, to
Bay nothing of our stocks and bonds that
have been and are being repurchased by
foreign buyers."
Only One Cloud.
Henry Clews & Co. furnish the following:
"The stock market shows renewed activity
and strength. The bears, however,are not
alone in the opinion that tho advance in
prices during the last few weeks should
almost suffice for the time being. Among
the ranks of the bulls there are two classes
who Incline to the same view; flrst, the con
servatives, who think that present prices
are well up to the piocnt intrinsio value of
stocks and doubt tho expediency of forcing
up values to a pointat which the Investment
demand would be checked and at which
foreign holders, under tbe pressure of an
American drain of gold, might sell out upon
New York; and a second class are those who
have nnloaded large lines of "long" stock
and are actuated by the purely speculative
purpose of being able to buy In again at a
lower range of prices. The former of these
two classes is simply quiescent! tbe latter
have been using their Influence, directly
and indirectly, to depress prices.
"For the rest, the market may be said to
consist of the sanzuine and demonstrative
class of bulls, who are always optimistic,
over-estimating favorable factors and under
estimating umavorable ones, and who act
upon prospects rather than existing facts.
When there is a large outside Interest in the
market which Is the case at present this
class of operators prove an important ele
ment, for they all act in the same direction
so long as they are able to maintain their
margins, nnd it is therefore difficult to
break the force of their support. At pres
ent, tho forces of the market are divided
into these unqualified bulls, on the one side,
and the qualified bulls and the professional
bears on the other. The result of such a
contest under present conditions cannot be
much other than a succession of slight fluc
tuations, with little gain for either the one
party or the other.
"Perhaps the sole fact that can be re
garded as seriously suggestive of distrust is
the gi ave condition of European politics
arising from Russia's coercion or Turkey In
relation to the passage ot the Dardanelles.
That may prove to bo a very grave question
Tor the great powers; but to the United
States it could only bring important advan
tages in an increased demand for our in
vestments and, in the event of war, for our
food products. Nor is the negotiation of
Russia's loan in Paris calculated to appre
ciably affect American investments in
EurODe, as the loan will have to be taken
almost exclusivelytby French citizens, who
hold but few of our securities."

More Activity in the Money Market New
York Bank Statement.
There was a distlnot improvement In the
local monetary situation during the weok.
Bank clearings, which are a reliable guide
to the condition of general trade, were
$1,500 000 in round numbers In excess of those
of the previous week, and abont $1,000,000
better than in 18S9. There was a louder call
for funds, denoting industrial and commer
cial expansion, and a more buoyant feeling
all around. The result of the week's opera
tions was materially benoflolal to the activi
ties of the city. The Clearing House report
for tho day and week reinforces these re
marks. It follows:

5HZ WEEK IS OIL,
Bnatncn Improving Right Along and tho
Price Steadily Moving Up.
Sales for the week on the local Board were
the largest since the revival,. aggregating
about 100,000 barrels. Oil City was very ac
tive. The market was strong and fairly activo
yesterday. Very littlo was said about cash
oil, tho only quotation on it being a bid of
60c, October being more desirable. This op
tion opened at 60c, highest, 61c; lowest, 59-oj
closed at 61c.
This was the highest point touched during
the week. The lowest was 55c, showing a
range of 7 cents. The gain for the week was
about 5c.
Refined closed at New York at 6.206 S5o;
London, 5Jd; Antwerp, 15Jf. Runs for the
weckincreased 10,000 barrels: shipments did
little more than hold their own.
Those who some time ago predicted 60
cent oil had little to say yesterday. Produc
tion at least is not in excess of demand.
Really it is less, and by the ordinary laws of
trade this should keep the price up to its
present level or better.
A New York authority is quoted as saying
that the output of tbe Baku field is dimin
ishing and that developments in India are
not up to expectations. This is favorable to
tho Pennsylvania product.

AN IBRE6ULAR MARKET
With Some Decidedly Weak Spots Was the
Bun of the Day at Chlcaco The Bears
Got the Better of the Argument Pork
and Ribs Have a Drop.
CHICAGO While the wheat market ruled
Irregular to-day and developed some very
weak spots, the general tone was one of
strength, and most of the day prices wero
above yesterday's close. Cables were rather
firm at the start and domestic marketswere
steady. December opened at 93B3-KC.
holding for a considerable time at 99c. Then
S. V. White & Co. put a big line on tho mar
ket and New York and St. Louis sent selling
orders and prices began to weaken. The
heavy receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth,
1,140 carloads, furnished additional ammuni
tion for the bears and the market soon became
demoralized, December selling off4o 93c, but
with only a light business. A lower Liver
pool cable coming in about that timo proved
a weakening factor. On tho break there was
a season or active buying. White & Co. tak
ing back most or the proporty they had sold;
and other bnvers coming, December reacted
sharply to 99Vc From this there was an
other decline to 9Sc. This was followed in
turn by a slight reaction. During the last
hour tho market continued nervous. After
declining to 98c. there was a rally to 99c, a
break to 93c and an advance to 99Jfc, with
the close at 99c.
Bradtstreefi reported the clearances of
wheat and flour from both coasts at 7,50000
bushels durine tho week, and over 50,000,000
bnshelsfor 12 weeks. The charters of vessels
from here, Including thoso made yesterday
afternoon, were about 600,OCO bushels. The
most bearish item of news was the decline
in the price of farmers' deliveries in Eng
land, which showed a drop of about 14c dur
ing the week. The explanation cabled was
that the quality of wheat offered was very
poor, being new and damp, owing to the late
wet weather. The final conclusion reached
in regard to the Russian wheat export pro
hibition scare is that the exportation of
wheat over the frontier to Persia has been
grohiblted. The business to-day was mostly
i the hands of tho professional.
Corn was decidedly weak andlower, in
fluenced by the fine weather for the crop,
which is now believed to be practically sate
nnd a crop of 2,000,00,000 bushels assured.
Under these circumstances tbe selling was
urgent, and, with no one disposed to extend
any support, the drop was easy.
Octpber started at 5152c, against 62o at
tho close yesterday, andsold down to&OJjo
without rallying. Then the market Armed
up through the purchases of early sellers
who were willing to take their profits.
During the last hour it was steady, with Oo
tober fluctuating between 6151jo, but It
became weak again at the last and closed at
50Jc
Oats were easy, bnt held up better than
corn, showing a loss of only K-
Hog products wero lower on free selling
and the weakness in corn, but rallied some
dnring the latter part of the session. Pork
closed 512Kp lower; lard is unchanged and
ribs are 2k7Kc lower.

EIGHT DOCTORS FHL TO DO

Homeopathy vs. Allopatiy Electrical
Treatment Free.
Tt is Tierhnn tint irftnemTIv Tmnwn that Dr.
Shaier is tlie only specialist in Pittsburg;
possessing, m audi
tion to others, a
diploma from one of
colleges in
tbe country. After
tnorongbly master
ing the old school
(allopathic) methods
of treatingdisease he
turned bis attention
to homeopathy, and
after three vears'
continuous study,
rraduated from that
'Chool of medicine.

Shafer novfr entered
the private classes of W. T. Miller. 31. D.,
protossor of urinary diseases. Here he re
ceived special Instructions in the treatment
of diseases of the kidneys and bladder, and
devoting much timo to the study of chemi
cal and microscopical analysis of urine.
After completing his second course under
Dr. Miller he became snrjricul assistant to
H. F. Btseer, A. M., M. D., Professor of Dis
eases of Women in the C. IL II. College, and
a well-known surgeon of national reputa
tion. A ststy of over a year with Prof. Big
ger gave Dr. Shafer abundant opportunities
to study the private methods ol this well
known physician and surgeon. His daily
experience at the operating table in the
wards and private departments of tbe hos
pital afforded advantages seldom enjoyed
by a physician. It is almost needless to say
that much of Dr. Snafer's success is due to
his large hospital experience and thorough
inowledse.of homeopathic medicine.
His office is supplied with the latest appli
ances forthe successful treatment of dis
ease, among which may be mentioned his
battery, which is the most complete elec
trical apparatus in the city. Hereafter pa
tients will receive electrical treatment free
of charge.
Perhaps no one could bo more grateful to
a physician than Miss Kittie Uanrahan, re
siding on Lincoln avenue, Butler, Pa. In
speaking of her case she said: "When I be
gan treatment with Dr. Shafer 1 bad not
seen a well day for four years, and during
that time I took treatment from eight doc
tors, but all failed to arrest my disease or
give me relief. At first I noticed a gradual
loss of strength. Soon my head began to
trouble me, which, later on, was a constant
ache from morning till night. Backache be
came an annoying feature, and at times I
was so weak across my kidneys that I could
not walk. I soon began to have pain in my
liver, appetite failed, tongue became coated
and had a horrid taste in my mouth. I al
ways felt tired and weak in tho morning,
and often felt a disagreeable sensation Inraf
stomach, and was greatly annoyed by a con
stant rumbling of "gas. As my disease grow
worse I experienced a creeping sensation
up my back, along tho spine and had
flashes of heat all over my body. At last
I was scarcely able to ivalk, my nervona
system became shattered and I would take
sinking spells and not be able to move a
muscle or speak a word. I would got these
spells regularly each month and scarcely
lecover from the prostration or one at
tack before I would get another. The strong
allopathic medicine destroyed my stomach
so that scarcely any food could be retained,
and every dose I took made me worse. I
made up my mind that the doctors should
experiment on me no longer and stopped all
treatment. While my sister was in Pitts
burg she called on Dr. Shafer for an opinion
of my case. He assured her that I could be
cured. At her earnest request I consented
to give him a triaL Imagine mv surprise
when I noticed improvement the first week.
This continued and to-day I enjoy the best
of health. Hi3 medicine was pleasant to
take and did not disturb my stomach. I
have already sent ono patient to Dr. Shafer,
and will send more, fori know that tohlm
I owe my life. "Kittie HunuMXS."

kidney, bladder, urinary, blood, skin and
nervous diseases. No testimonials pub
