Palmer rn the Kebel ring.
General Palmer, when 'asked yesterday
whether ho had issued an order against G.
A. B. men parading In processions where
Confederate Sags were carried, said: "After
careful consideration and meditation I have
decided not to issue any order to that effect
as yet, but I will do so Immediately afterthe
coming election. If I Issued the order now,
some parties vt ould claim that it was a cam
paign Issue, and tint the order was issued
for that purpose. What we desire is to im
print upon the minds of the rising genera
tion that the only flag Is the Stars and
Stripes, and that no other flag 6honld be
recognized whatever. We do not object to
their erecting monuments to their bravo
gen-rals or men, for heroes are heroes and
nothing else can be made out of them. We
also do not object to their building hos
.pltals for their wounded, crippled and sick,
for they deserve all the care they can get.
hut we do object to the rebel flag parades."

COMFORT FOR BOTH SIDES.
Plenty of News for Both Bulls and Bears In
the Grain Pits Wheat fluctuating and
Weaker Corn Opens Strong, but De
clines Later.
CHICAGO Wheat was fluctuating and
somewhat weaker at times to-day as trade
was mostly local. It presented a rather firm
front most of the day, but held very steady,
the general fluctuation covering a range of
only about c, with the great bulk of the
trading 9593c.
Business was very slack as a rule, but de
spite this a steady, strong feeling was main
tained most or the day. Most or the bulls
and the bears were able to extract some
comfort from the news. It was clear, line
weather in the Northwest, with liberal re
ceipts at Mlneapolis and Dnlnth, and more
moisture was reported in the winter wheat
country. The exports for the week show a
decrease or nearly 600.000 bushels from the
week previous, and with the liberal re
ceipts, point to a large increase in tbe visi
ble supply.
' On the bull side woro strong and hlcrher
English cables, more aotlvityin New York
wnere loreigners were aiu to oe aenvy
bnvers, and numerous cable acceptances on
offers made last night were reported. There
was also what claimed to be official confirm
ation of the reported Russ an piohibition of
oats, corn and Darley and a growing feeling
that wheat wonld the victim of tho next
embargo. All this tended to keep tho shorts
nervous and anxious, and for a time kept
the bear inflence in the background.
December went to 95J4 but quickly re
acted and held around 9.)95c, then be
came heavy and sold to 95c and 95Jc, and at
12o'clock was abont95c,againsi 95Ko at the
close yesterday. The market keDt quiet and
easy during the last hour and abound 95c,
and at 1 o'clock was about 95c.
Corn showed a little more strength early
in the session and made some advance, May
getting the most benefit, with year next in
line, but the receipts being SO cars larger
than expected and 90 cars of new corn being
on the inspection sheet, the offerings were
liberal and there was some decline. Tbe
hull feeling has evidently lost a good deal
of its vigor, and the most excitable and ner
vous shorts have apparently covered. The
bulls or yesterday wei e doing but little to
day. A steady, quiet reeling ruled durins
the last hour, with November around 5CV
60Jo and May 42?c. November corn sold
rromBOJgo to SOJgC, broke to 50:, and at 12
o'clock was 50c. May sold up from 42Jc to
425c, broke to 42o. March sold from 44o
to 44Jc and off to 44Jc.
Oats started rather firm, November selling
from SO to SOJic, from 31Jto 32e, but tho de
mand wns slugsish and the export business
light. The feeling weakened somo during
the last heur.'Novemher selling off to 9c,
and May to 31c, and at 1 o'clock November
was 29c with May 3IJo.
Hog products were easy early in the ses
sion, bat finally turned strong, but tho
strength wa not all held. January pot k
sold rrom $11 32K to $1127X: back to $11 35.
and at 12 o'clock urns. $11 3-K January lard
sold at $G S5J 37 and January ribs, $5'87
5 90. January pork advanced to $11 50,
eased off and at 1 o'clock wns about $11 42f.
January lard sold up to $6 45. nnd January

TRADE OF THE. WEEK.
Some of the Foreign Gold Makes Its
Appearance in Pittsburg.
BUSINESS ACTIVE ALL K0U5D.
Events in Ecalty, Uith the Government
Property as the Central Figure.
BfoLDING OPERATIOXS BTILL LI7ELT
Some pf the gold that has returned from
Europe made its appearance in Pittsburg
during the week and was paid out through
the Clearing House. Ho one appears to be
hoarding money, but it is being put into
the channels of circulation as fast as pos
sible. The result of this will soon be seen
and felt in all the activities of the city.
Calamity-howlers are beginning to think
they hold their occupation by a very inse
cure tenure.
General Trade Improving.
There was further improvement in gen
eral trade last week, but it was more marked
in the "West than in the East The money
market was easy on gold imports and less
demand from the grain districts. Railroad
earnings showed a gratifying increase. Col
lecti ns were reported above the average,
showing that the agricultural element is be
ginning to realize the effect of the heavy
crops. Locally, those who make it a rule
rues alone, bad smooth sailing. The banks
were liberal in putting out funds, and no
substantial enterprise was refused neces
sary assistance.
The Building Tecord.
Good weather this month has been a boon
to builders. Not only has work on houses
under way been vigorously prosecuted, but
a large number have been put under con
tract in the hope of getting them inclosed
before cold weather. The number of per
mits taken out last week was 38, represent
ing 0 houses, the total estimated cost be
ing f 129,633. The one of most importance
was issued to George Crawford for a fi-story
stable on Eighth street, Fourth ward, to
cost f 46,700. The previous week 31 permits
were issued for 39 improvements, the esti
mated cost being $74,175. The total num
ber of houses and additions for which per

Property With a History.
The events of this week in real estate
circles promises to be the sale of the Gov
ernment property on Penn avenue and Gar
riason alley. Its history is involved in con
siderable obscurity. Colonel Herron and
William Koseburg remember it as Govern
ment property 60 years ago. Captain
Birmingham was stationed there in com
mand of a small body of troops in 1832.
The oldest citizen spoken to on the snb-
je ct thinks tbe Government acquired its
title irom the renn neirs. j.ne strip De
tween Penn and Liberty was sold off many
years ago. Some of it was transferred during
the administration of President Madison.
While there is nothing to indicate who
the purchaser or purchasers will be,
some of the knowing ones say it will be
Dicked up at a good price, propably not
less than ?3,000 a foot front, which is a 1
reasonable figure considering thegreatdepth
ot tne lot.
A Snslness Movement.
For several years the suburbs have .been
growing faster than the business quarter of
the city. The accession of population em
phasizes the necessity for more stores and
warehouses. From certain movements on
foot it is not venturing much to say that the
next important whirl in real estate will be
south of Grant street There are many de
sirable sites in this quarter, occupied by in
efficient and antiquated buildings, and
judging from the many dickers going on it
is quite probable that some of them will
change ownerships before the year rolls by.
Every sale in this precinct will be followed
by a new and modern business stand. This
will be a distinct gain to the city in more
ways than one.

HOME SECURITIES.
BUSINESS HANDICAPPED BT
rlEJlNESS OP HOLDERS.
THE
The Market Stronger Than It Appears on
the Surface Week's Trading Hardly
.Enough to Go Bound Gains and Ixisses
of Small Import.
Stocks pursued the even tenor of their way
during the week, business being slow and
general conditions unchanged. As has been
noted for some time, there were more buy
ers than sellers, showing that the bulls have
lost nothing ot their confidence.
Some of the quotations put on the board
are apt to bo misleading. Outsiders take it
for granted that asking prices represent
what holders wonld he willing to accept.
In many instances this is not the case. For
instance, Philadelphia Gas was offered yes
terday at 11, but there was none obtaina
ble at that figure. The market is really
stronger than it looks.
Closing prices as compared with those of
tho previous Saturday show the following
changes in the active list: Chartiers Gas
gained lA, Philadelphia Gas L Central Trac
tion iL Citizens' Traction , and Pittsburg
Traction 1. Pleasant Valley lost , Now
York and Cleveland Gas Coal K, Luster i4,
and Electric L
While none of the local corporations gave
out anything new to influence speculation
there was a distinct improvement in the
tone of the tractions, based, presumably, on
the belief that they are running smoothly
and earning more than expenses. There
seems to be no doubt that this is true of the
Manchester line.
It will be interesting to many Pittsburg,
ers to leai n that the time for the deposit of
National Lead Trust certificates to be ex
changed Is limltpd to and including Decem
ber 1, 1S9L As soon as practicable thereafter
certificates of stock of the National Lead
Company of New Jersey, the name or tho
reorganized company, will be ready tor de
livery in exchange. The certificates of de
foslt have been listed upon the .New York
tock Exchange, and will be dealt in in tho
same mannor as the original Lead Trust cer
tificates until called In.
The onlv sale yesterday was that or 25

SLIGHT CHANGE IN STOCKS.
BUT Ali ABE IN THE DTBEOTTOH OF
HIGHER PKICE3,
No Change in Temper for a Week Widest
' Movement in Sugar, Which Gains 1 Per
Cent St. Panl and BIchmond and West
Point Features.
New York, Oct. 24. The stock market dls
played no change in the temper which has
marked it dm ing the whole week, but with
a very moderate volume of business and al
most strictly professional trading, a firm
tone was presented with slight- fluctuations
and only small changes, in everything traded
in. The widest movement was in Sugar,
which was dealt overaranseof 1 percent,
but tho features of tho market were St. Paul
and BIchmond and West Point, and their
movements fairly represent the temper of
tne w noie marxet.
The foreign houses were moderate buyers
of their specialties, and tho other large in
terests were doing little in the market
either for support or the accumulation of
stocks There were the usual realizations
by the smaller class of bulls on tbe liso of
the last two days, but the improvement in
prices has not been such as to bring any
amount of stock upon the market. Trading,
therefore, was very light and the fluctua
tions wero strictly upon a parity with the
business done. Among the inactive shaies
no feature of any kind "as seen, but the ad
vance of in St. .Paul preferred was the
only movement of importance.
The opening was dull, but firm, and there
was no change in the temperthrotig'iout the
session; even the bank statemeut, with its
material gain in surplus reserve and heavy
gains in specie, failing to have any appreci
able influence npon the market, as it was
about what was expected. Tho market
finally closed dull, but firm at about the best
prices of the day, but only n actions better
than lust evening's figures, no material
change in any stock taking place.
The business in railroad bonds was quite
large In comparison with that in shares,
while the strength shown was of a more de
cided type. Few features marked tbe deal
ings, but the sharp advance in Green Bay
Incomes wastho leading one, a gain of 3 per
cent, supplementing the material udonco
of the last few days. Tho total sales were
$1,105,100. Tne highest and closing quota
tions were:

The Outlook Bullish.
Watson & Gibson wired the following to
John M. Oakley & Co.: "For two previous
Saturdays the publication of an unfavorable
bank statement has been the signal for an
attack on prices by 100m trader-; to-day was
an exception. The statement showed a gain
of $o,CCl,C00 in "resources', while the actual
gain in cash was over $1000 000. For the
gratification of gold non-mefhlists and those
who preached the dangers to our currency
system from silver pui chases, it is worthy
of note that for the past month the banks
have gained in gold, while losing a little
paper or silver money. The Gresham law,
that a poorer always suDplants a better cur
rency, does not seem to be working very
happilv for the theorists this autumn. That
law will apply to for ign trade, but not al
wavs to domestic monetary movements.
"ir the Ohio election by any chances
should go Democratic, it would effect for
eign tsentiment adverselv on the London
Stock Exchange, as the Democrats or Ohio
have a free silver plan, but it is not like y
to so Democratic. If McKinley is elected
there It will have a good effect on specula
tive sentiment abroad, though European
merchants, of course, would be glad to see
bim defeated. Cables say that the London Ex
change has declined to permit the exchange
to be opened later than the usnal hour (U
to 4) to a commodate traders in American
rails who have been compelled to huddle,
orteruunder umbrellas. In Shorter's court,
but ft Is to be rooted over so that traders
can keep dry while getting rich buying
American stocks between the regular clos
ing there and here. , ,
bt. Paul today distinguished itself by a
phenomenal gain, aud one that makes an
Atchison statistician green with envy. The
third week of October the gross gain in St.
Paul was $163,0CO. It looks as if the buU
pool In this stock had consolidated their
earnings with those of the company. Itich
mond continued its improvement and its
stock nnd bonds promise greater activity
next week at better prices.
The sugar stocks were weak, and there is
some short interest in them, as indeed there
is throughout the active list. The outlook
is bullish.
Holders Should let Go.
Henry Clews & Co. say: "The dullness in
Wall street continues, and the prices of
stocks still oscillate within a range too nar
row to encourage largo speculatlvo trans
actions. The absence of any advance in the
Bank of England rate of discount last week
and the continued imports of gold, together
with a further liberal Increase of the sur
plus reserve In the bank stitement ot the
I7th Inst., were expected to have a reviving
effect tiDon the market during the past
week, but onlv -a slight improvement was
Inaugurated; but tbe market mill shows by
the dally meager transactions an insensi
bility to iavorable factors which can hardly
be construed otherwise than as an ominous
symptom.
"Tho Issue or such a situation is usually a
protracted and unbroken dullness which
continues until holders are wearied out
or driven from tbe market: and there is too
much reason to fear that the present situa
tion may run into Just such a profitless con
dition. Under such circumstances It seems
the wisest policy for holders to let go a part
of their stocks and stand prepared for get
ting into a fresh campaign, starting from a
lower basis of prices and having the support
of a class who alone can make a boom suc
cessful. The Finish in Stocks.

stocks on the New York Exchangeyesterday.

THE "WEEK IN OIL.
Considerable Business Transacted and
Urokers Encouraged Tho McDonald

At tho close of the week the McDonald
field was less bearish as a factor than at the

much-needed eucoiiragemen. The week's

THE TEIND OF MONEY.
Clearing House Business Shows Decided
Improvement In General Trscle.
Easy money was the rulo during the week,
and at the close most of the banks had more
than at the beginning. This was not the re
sult of backward trade, but of large cash
sales and close collections. More that ever
people aro 'carrying on their aflairs withont
recourse to tho banks. There was no com
plaint on this score, however, as all tho
strictly financial concerns did a satisfactory
business. The business of the Clearing
House was about the best of the year, being
considerably larger than tbe previous week,
and vastly better than 1SS9. These aro the
figures:

ELECTRICITY CURES.
Its Marvelous Power Even 31 ore Notable In
the Practice of Medicine and Surgery
Than In the Mechanical Arts.
Tho more thoroughly 0110 studies electro
therapeutics In all its relations, medical and
surgical, tlie clearer it becomes that the
real scientific basis for the use or electricity
in medicine and snrgery is fonnd in electro
pbyaics more than in electro-physiology.
Now that electricity has become popular
in medicine, there is, in some quarters, a
temptation to overdo the application, not
only In strength, but in length and fre
quency; to treat nil cases alike by routine,
mechanical applications, regardless either
of the disease or tho Idiosyncrasies of the
Jiatient: hence in not a lew c-.i'-es come in
niious results with disappointment on aU
sides. The dorage of electricity is a special
stndy of tho greatest practical importance)
the diflerence in result between a very gen
tle and short application and a very strong
and protractea one being, in some cases, alt
.the difference between agreeable success
and painful failure.
The position of electricity in the front
rank of tonics and sedatives and its pre-eminent
value in the treatment of neuralgia,
rheumatism, paralysis, sciatica, lumbago,
etc., has now been so long confirmed by
electropathic specialists in this country anil
Germany that demonstration of these prop
ositions by casc3 is less needed than former
ly, yet here is ono o' interest:
"I have been a terrible sufferer, as have
many others, from the after effects of la
grippe," says Air. Thomas F. Robinson, the
well known boat-builder or this city, who
lives on Lafayette street, Hazelwood, Twen-
ty-iuiru warn.
Mr. Thomas Robinson.
1 was attacked with facial neuralgia, and
have suffered since such tortures as man
seldom suffers from pain, continuous and
almost crazing, in my face and bead. I was
also afflicted ith lumbago, accompanied by
its usual terrible pains and aches. The
constant strain upon me finally resulted in
complete nervous prostration and insomnia
or sleeplessness, that nearly set me crazy.
"The pains in my head were so severe and
continuous that I could neither eat nor
sleep. It was in this condition that I ap-
flied to the physicians of the Electropathio
nstltute, 5J7 Penn aienne. I was under
treatment less than a week when I began to
grow better, and I am now completely
cured."
There are persons who must be treated
not only mildly but at long intervals and
there are persons with, perhaps, the same
disease that can bear with advan tage pow
erful and fieqnent applications; to df.tln
gnlsn between these classes and the various
gradations that lie between the extremes of
tolerance and of susceptibility is tbe first
duty, and oftentimes the hardest study of.
