Allegheny c unty.
Last week was not s booming one in
business affairs, but some good features
were developed. Nothing occurred, locally
or generally, to impair public confidence or
repress the forward movement. The em
barrassment of a local stock firm was more
than offset b7 the settlement of the Moor-head-McCleane
trouble. There were no
fresh involvements. It is now apparent
that the banks have met the extreme
pressure of the crop demand without ma
terially reducing their resources, and the
influx of gold from abroad ought to defeat
all attempts to so manipulate the money
market as to produce A stringency and ad
vance rates.
Tho failure of Deacon WTiito and the
break in crain appear to have cleared the
speculative skies lor the time being and to
havo l oacted favorably on legitimate busi
ness. Tho outlook for tho lall and winter
trade was menaced by no disturbing factor,
but was brighter at the end of tho week
than at the oeeinninff. This. sunDlomented
bv confidence and courage, should stimulate
effort and lead to great results.
A New Enterprise.
Mention was made during tho week that a
charter had been granted to the Liquid Car
bonic Acid Manulacturmg Company. It
was subsequently ascertained that the com
pany had purchased a site near Ben Venue
station, Pennsylvania Kailroad, comprising
about 2,000 square feet, for $5,000, and will at
onco proceed to eiect the necessary build
ings lor tho manufacture of their product.
Buildings for the Week.
As already stated, the lateness of the
season has blunted the edge of tho building
business. The number of new undertakings
showing a steady decline for the last two
weeks. Tho year's record will be a vory
good one, however. As it stands, it Bhows
considerable improvement on 1870. The fol
low ing is the result of last week's opera
tions: .

Activity In tho Lot Market.
The sale of lots by the Blame, Knoxville
and Aspinwall Land companies is so largo
and continuous as to merit special atten
tion. It shows, among other thing, that
the people of this city, tho w orking element
particularly, are prosperous and steadily
bettering their condition. The properties
of tho companies mentioned ara well
adapted to residence purposes, being con
venient to tne manufactuiing centers.
Blaine is develomna vei v last, and will in
a short time be a bnsy place, turning out
some of the most valuable products in the
market. These properties possess tho addl
tlonal advantago of cheapness, which Is
never lost upon home seekers.
Mr. W. M. Bell, of McKeesport, reports un
expected success in disnosinc of lots in the
Evans estate plan. Abont 20D have already
been picked up by persons who Intend to
build sooner or later. The eligibility of this
property, together with modemte prices,
sufficiently accounts fonts rapid sale, which
is beyound all precedent in McKeesport and
seldom equaled in Pittsburg.
Knoxville and AsDinwnll stand high
among those who vajue a healthful location
and beautiful scenery.
Attracted to Pittsburg.
Two New Yorkers were In the city last
week looking for a site whereon to erect a
large business house for the sale of leather
goods. They were shown several properties

EVENTS IN SPECULATIVE CIHCLES
DURING THE 'WEEK.
Advances Scored by Everything on the
Active list The Tractions Become the
Xeadersrfif the Market A Still Hunt for
Philadelphia Gas.
Events of the week on tbe local stock
board, whilo involving neither radical
changes in value nor a large volume of busi
ness, were of a nature to show that the
strong financial coirdition of the country is
beginning to impress Pittsburg Investors.
Tho entire active list finished from good
tractions to points better than the opening.
Sales on call were 1,566 shares, against 1,575
the previous week.
Closing prices of the week, as compared
with those of the previons Saturduy, show
the following changes: Philadelphia Gas
gained Wheeling i. Central Traction J,
Citizens' Traction k, Pittsburg Traction 2,
Pleasant Valley , New York and. Cleveland
Gas Coal J, Electric , Switch and Signal .
The Tractions were easily leaders of the
market in activity. Over 7C0 shaies of Birm
ingham and Fleasan tValley weie handled.
These stocks, owing to their close connec
tion with the prosperity of the city, and the
piospectof thefiiction that has long sub
sisted between some of the companies, aie
beginning to take tho position in the market
to which uiey are rigntiuuy entitiea. xno
prospects of tho Duquesne were materially
lmpiovod by the decision of Judge Magee.
There was quite a still hunt for Philadel
phia Gas stock bva few who are lookincr for
ward to the resumption of dividends, but
less than 300 shaies of it were picked up.
Tho bears have quit using the "dect easing
supply" aigument, sinco it is generally ack
nowledged thut the stock of fuel is as largo
as it has been any time within tw o years.
This seems to be the opinion of holders of
the stock, who, for tho most part, are keep
ing It off the market.
The expected boom In Electric did not
materialize, although it recoived enough
support to put it up nearly a point. It is
said the reorganization scheme is about
consummated, and that the new stock w ill be
ready early the coming month.
Sales yesteiday were 20 sharos of Central
Traction at 20 10 Luster at Z3.M, and CO
Philadelphia Gas nt 11. Final bids and
asking prices for the week are appended.

A RAID ON PACIFICS
THE EEATTJRE OF NEW TOItK'S STOCK
MAltKET YESTERDAY.
150.
IJnlllsh All Over.
John M. Oakley & Co.'s correspondents
wired: "The feeling in this country to-day is
emphatically bullish. Six weeks ago it be
gan to assert itself in a brisk walk, then a
gallop and flnully a run. For a tlmo there
were no obstructions. The course was clear,
but with the first week n lew hurdles have
boon met in the bull pathway. The runners
havo at time hesitated a little in the pres
ence of a "Gould" barricade, but each time
they made the hurdle and seemed flushed
with their success.
"To drop tho simile, there is n confident
array of holders if not of fresh buyers, and
there is a small force of bears who are fight
ing the market. They have had a lailuro
and a fiiasco to help them this weok, but the
momentum of the bull market while re
tarded Iiih not been seriously diminished.
Mi. Gould has been the bear in the china
shoo and his nets and tnllc lmvn rrivpn the
bulls a great deal of concern without having
apparently pioduced their intended objects.
This morning his acknowledged organ
comes out with an interview which iriide
him say that there ought not to be any divi
dend on Missouri FaciflcT and there would
probably not bo anv. Also he said some
thing winch could only be construed into a
threat to insinuate a rate war in the South
west because Chicago roads do the bulk of
tho business.
"The result of this was that after Missouri
Pacific opened up 1 per cent it sold down 6,
recovering 2, nn d Un ion Pacific, after open
ing up . sola down 2, recovering most or it.
"Activity In speculation exists, but it is
sensitiv e, and changes in its drift occur with
startling abruptness. It is impossible for
any one to mako monoy in it by flopping
around. The only way to do it is to take a
stand and occupy it until tho whirligig of
speculation brines the market around right.
It is not a one-sided market; it has a good
deal of the razzlo dazzle about it.
"The bank statement was about as ex
pected, a loss of $3 750,000 in reserves. The
fact that over $8,000 0j0 in gold Is floating
over this way neutralizes the bad effect 01
tne statement. Chlcaco and Eastern Illinois
pieferied is a stock that we can recom
mend." Gold Will Come.
Henry Clews & Co. say: "The recent up
ward movement on tho Stock Exchange
proved irresistible. Nothing equaling it
either In force or character has been seen in
years. Based on the soundest of all founda
tions, the profuse generosity or natuie and a
healthy national prosperity. It is evidently
impossible to seriously oheck tho spirit of
buoyancy thus imparted. In the course of
tlmo it will undoubtedly run to excess; it
will also be accompanied by fluctuations of
varying seventy; it may be that in some in
stances the advance is already bejond
reason; but theone gicat ract remains, that
or all nations on the earth we are this year
most wonderfully mvored in respect to tho
products of tho soil.
"England has usually been our best
buyoi; but French purchases have lately
been a featui o, and even the Germans are
reported to be increasing their holdings.
This means still larger imports of gold than
would have been seut simply In pajment of
our grain and cotton. Wo may look for
some resistance, especially from the Bank
or England, to our importing gold; but that
the piecious metal will have to como in
largo sums is inevitable. Our wheat and
other exports will demand gold in settle
ment; and ir it paj s the foreieners better to
hold our stocks than gold they will take the
former and roturn the latter, as indeed they
are alreaay fieely doing.
"All the best authorities in Europe unite
In savln3 that the United States will draw
heavv sums of gold from Europe, and nearly
$8,000,000 will shortly arrive. This is lm
poitnnt in view of the firmer tendency of
tho locitl money market. Call loans have
been steadily advancing, and the increasing
probabilities of manipulation tended to
checkthe rise in stocks. Should gold continue
to arrive as freely as atpresent expected, the
chances or any piotracted stringency In
money will be greatly lessened."

The New York bank statement, although
showing a loss of nearly $4,009,000 in tho ro
seive, had no appreciable effect upon, tho
stock market, prices being stronger ntter its

Both tbe Missourls and Unions Got a Pretty
Hard E lib The VanderbUts on Top
With IJttle Difficulty How the Stocks
Banged.
New York, Sept. 26 Tho stock market to
day was less nctivo than for any day this
week, but there was enough interest center
ing in Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific to
make the transactions in those shares heavy
while the rest of the list w ere compara
tively quiet. Missouri Pacific was sub
jected to -another raid, and it reached tho
lowest price of the week, snowing at 62 a
loss of 14J per cent from Its best figuies
madoon Monday. There was a slight re
covery from this point, but it closed prac
tically at its lowest.
" Tho Vandeibilts were again the strong
points in tho market and Lake Shore was
bid up ovei 2 per cent without apparent
effort and calling out little stock. Missouri
Pacific opened up 1 pei cent at 6SJ, but the
rest ot tho lit were generally slightly higher
than lust evening with Lake Shore and New
York Central up each. The raid upon
Missouri Pacific was begun, how ever, und
with no recovery It was elf steadily until it
touched 62. Union Pacific, m the mean
time, was knocked down 2 to 41, while
the rest of the list which had started to
follow thecxamDle of the Vandeibilts were
biought down to small fractions under the
opening figures. The bank statement was
uiifavoiable.showinsr large losses in cash and
the surplus reserve, which is no w at tho low est
point tor months, but the cables reported
additional heavy shipments of gold and the
state of tho bank reserves had little or no
Influence upon tho course of prices. New
and excellent buying came in at the low
pi ices, and the lato dealings developed a
decidedly strong tone, w hich had tho effect
of rallj ing the list to about the level of first
prices, tne ciuse uuinistioiig unu uunvu u.i
the improvement. The final chanaes, there
fore, are generally small fractions, while
Missouri Pacific is dow 11 2J and Like Shote
is up 2. Union Pacific iccoveied neaily
to its best fijruro and actually closed K Per
cent better than last evening. Government
bonds havo been dull and steady to firm.
State bonds have been neglected.
Thcexpoitsof specie last week fiom the
port of Now York amounted to $451,877, or

A Fair Volnme of Business and s Good
Kango ot Prices.
About 75,000 barrels of oil were handled on
tho local board during the week. Tho mar
ket had a good range, selling up to 61Jc and
down to 59c.
The demand was based on a decline In the
field and liberal buying orders. The decline
was duo to realizing and a report yesterday
of two largo wells In the McDonald field,

CniCAGO Wheat ruled weak dnring
most of the session, but rallied in tho after
noon and closed at a slight advance. At
the stnrt tbeie was an effort to stiffen prices

"Johnnie, where is Carlsbad?"
"Part of it in every drug store in
the United States."
"How do you make that out?"
"The Carlsbad Spnidel Salts aro
imported from there, and are the
solid evaporations of the Spnidel
Spring."
"What have they done for you,
that you know so much about them?"
"Why, they have cured papa of
his dyspepsia, and in the place of a
cross father, they have given rne a
kind and loving parent."
Dyspepsia will spoil the most an
gelic temperament. Too much bile
inactivity of the liver will start it.
Try the Carlsbad Sprudel Salts. A
standard, a never-failing remedy.

RESCUED IN TIRE.
A Young Man's Startling Confession.
"Tes, sir, I will gladly give a statement for
publication," said Mr. George Howard, of
Brldgeville, Pa.,
whoe recent experi
ence created quite a
sensation in that
quiet town.
"I do not crave
newspaper noto
riety, bnt I cannot
remain silent andsee
others sutler when I
might be able to
guide them to a ha
ven of relief. I must
.confess that I was
norant of the laws

sacrificed everything ror pleasure, theresult
being that-in a short time I became a com
plete physic.il wreck.
"Despondency and worry over my hope
less condition almost drove mo to suicide.
I was so weak I could scarcely walk, so nerv
ous that sleep became impossible, appetite
failed, headbecame heavv and dull, intellect
feeble, memory weak, I o"ften felt pain in mv
back and sides and my muscles were sore and
stiff in the morning, urine was voided too
frequently and with much suffering. I often,
felt so weak acros my kidneys I could
scarcely stand erect. Would take cold
easily, which always would cause my throat
to become sore and painful, I took a great
deal or medicine but found no relief. A
friend advised me to try Dr. Shafer, as he
had cured him of a similar dise.ise.
"After a short course of treatment I was
entirely cured or a ducase of several years'
standing, nip at a very reasonable cost. I
would giadl havo given 10 times theamount
for the relief I received. I believe my cure
is permanent and advise all to consult Dr.
Sharer when in need of a specialist. Very
renectfully, Gzoroe Howard."
Kindly remember that Dr. Shafer is the only
phjsician in Western Fennsvlvania giving
his entire time to the treatment of kidney,
bladder, urinary, blood, skin and nervous
diseases. No testimonialipnblished without
the consent of the patient. Consultation
