rade of the regiment on Thanksgiving Day,

The enormous size and weight of some of
the cannons now being constructed in the
foundries at different parts of the world are
exciting considerable discussion in military
circles. Four feet in length and weighing
2,600 pounds is the dimension ot the 'enor
mous projectile which is fired from the big
gest gun yet turned out. The gun itself
weighs 270,000 pounds and was made in Ger
many. A meeting of the officers of the Fourteenth
Begiment was held last Monday night in the
headquarters of the Central Armory. The
resolutions drawn up for Colonel Bowman, of
Philadelphia, were indorsed aud forwarded.
A lively discussion pro and con as to re
fitting up the headquarters was then in
dulged in, which ended by Colonel Perch
ment annointinirn committee to see that
the Fourteenth will be second to no regi
ment In the brigade as regards a meeting
place.
The serious illness of Adjutant Gen
eral McClelland during the past it eek
caused considerable uneasiness throughout
tne National Guard. General McClelland
has won a very warm place in the hearts of
National Guardsmen during his brier career
in office, and the reports sent out from Har
risburg yesterday of the probability or his
Bpeeuy recovery win certainly ue welcomed.
General McClelland was taken ill quite sud
denly while seated in his office, and for
several days his recovery was considered
doubtful.
The report of Lieutenant W. S. Brown, In
spector of Bifle Practice of the Fourteenth
Begiment for the season Just closed, is inter
esting. The total number of men qualified
In the regiment is 316, 53 of whom are sharp
shooters, a gain of 14 men over last year.
The totals by company are: Field and
Staff, 3 sharpshooters aud 4 marksmen; Com
pany A, 5 sharpshooters and 45 marksmen;
Company B, 4 sharpshooters and 29 marks
men: Company C, 15 sharpshooters and 21

The most important event during the past
week in military circles was trial by court
martial in Philadelphia of Colonel Smith, of
Third Begiment, on charges of embezzle
ment of regimental moneys. The court
convened Tuesday evening and adjourned
Thursday evening. A number of witnesses
were heard, and although the verdict was
seeret and transmitted up through the regu
lar channels, the general Impression is that
the result is adverse to Colonel Smith and
will result in his dismissal irom the service.
Tho exact finding ot the court will not be
known until promulgated by Governor Fat
tison. Colonels Hawkins and Smith, the
members of the court from this end of the
State, returned home last Friday.
The first printed report of regimental rifle
practice to be circulated lor the season Just
closed is that of the Thirteenth Begiment.
For the fourth consecutive year every mem
ber of this organization has qualified, and
166 of the number are sharpshooters. The
'report shows a series of wonderful successes
in contests, both at home and instate and
Inter-State matches, aud goes to prove con
clusively that the Thirteenth is one of the
greatest organizations in the country, if not
In the world, as regards marksmanship. The
regiment operated on a new range last sea
son which was flttod np at an expense of
$1,500, and it is claimed to be second only to
the Coleman range at ML Gretna.
There was no important change in the
business situation last week. Improvement
was noted in spots, due to better local con
disions, but taking the country through
trade was quiet, with about the usual vol
ume of transactions. This was almost equal
to the heaviest on record. Keeping this
important fact in view, there was nothing
in movement or environment to justify
fault-finding. Locally, trade was in good
shape, money easy, no calamities, a good
stock of confidence, and prospects favorable
for an active winter and spring. The coun
try never had more abundant reason to give
thanks to the Author of all good. Next
Thursday has been set apart for this pur
pose. m
Quiet, but In Good Shape.
A prominent feature of the real estate
market is that nobody is trying to iorce it.
Owners and agents alike are letting it take
its own course. That it is far from stag
nant it shown by the sales published in this
column Irom day to day. They carry their
own comment All agree that the outlook
for 1892 is favorable. There is every reason
to believe that an active market will come
in with the Bpring. The holidays are at
hand, and people are not in the humor to
invest. Social duties are more pressing. It
is useless, therelore, to attempt to force
matters. The market is so full of solid
features that activity will come in due sea
son. It will not spoil by a brief rest
An Irwin Avenuo Deal.
A transaction in real estate involving im
portant improvements was concluded yes
terday. W. C. Stewart sold for "V. J. "A.
Kennedy 600 feet of ground on the south
side of Irwin avenue, Squirrel Hill, near
the eastern entrance to Schenley Park, for
$25,000. William Bigge, the well-known
Oakland contractor, wati the purchaser. He
has already petitioned Councils for the
opening and grading of Irwin avenue, and
early in the spring will commence the erec
tion of six handsome dwellings, costing in
the neighborhood of 50,500 each. Over
$100,000 worth of property has been sold in
this immediate vicinity Within the last two
weeks. There is deep significance in all
this. It shows that instead of losing confi
dence in realty level-headed people are tak
ing to It more than ever as a safe and profit

in in the final dealings with a gain or IK to

Plate, second preferred, was the most prom

Railroad bonds were also active, and re

was confined to small fractions. The busi

usual of late very widely distributed, but
Atchison incomes again came to the front in

THE OUTCOME OF THE WEEK'S OPEB
ATIONS ON 'CHANGE.
A Few Small Booms Nipped In the Bud
Offerings Too Liberal for the Over
stocked Market Price Changes and
Final Bids and Offers.
The feature of the week in local stooks
was a sharp advance In Duquesne Traction,
followed by a break, from which there was
no recovery, although street talk after call
was a little more bullish. On call l&yi was
bid, offered at 17.
Birmingham and Manchester Tractions
also experienced some stimulation, but
failed to hold the advance. At the last call
oi the week 17 was bid for the former. The
latter was offered at 38, with 37 bid. Of
ferings were not urgent, showing there was
no demoralization at the bottom. Pitts
burg investors are in such a position that it
is unsafe to crowd them. The demand for
stocks is easily supplied. Large offerings
almost invariably result in'concessions. To
this, more than anything else, the slump in
Duquesne should be attributed. There was
nothing in the circumstances or the com
pany to justify a departure of any kind. The
report that the Pittsburg will restore the 6
cent rate was favorable to the rival road.
Consolidation talk was as hazy as ever, but
the conviction was aulte ireneral that such
a thing was on foot.
Closing prices, as compared with those of
thepievions Saturday, show the following
changes in the active list: Chartiers Valley
gained J, People's Pipeage .Philadelphia
Gas , Citizens' Traction , Pittsburg Trac
tion 4K, Luster , Switch and Signal .. Al
legheny Valley drODped from $1 to 50c, Cen
tral Tiaction lost ri. Pleasant Valley H, Air
brake J. It will be seen that with two or
three exceptions changes were trifling.
There were sales yesterday of 400 shares of
Philadelphia Gas at the uniform price of
UK- Sales for the week were 1,829 shares,
two-thirds of a share of Airbrake, $16,000
bonds and $1,000 Electrio scrip. Of this Du
quesne Traction furnished over 1,000 shares
and all the bonds. Final bids and offers for
the week follow:

Points for Investors.
Watson & Gibson wired the following to
John M. Oakley & Co.; "The good feeling
which manifested itself so conspicuously
yesterday was continued to-day, and the
market exhibited a very solid front. Natur
ally much of its stiength yesterday and to
day was duo to tho hurried covering of an
accumulated short interest, but neverthe
less the temper of speculation was mani
festly bullish.
"The Russian ukase prohibiting the ex
port of wheat is said to have actually been
promulgated, and while the grain markets
may have discounted the final proclama
tion, its effect may be a permanent one the
rest of the crop year on our export trade.
The fear of war, which is in the minds of
observers and which unfortunate economio
conditions might lead to, is diminished hy
climatic considerations. It may be deferred
until spring, when the ley fetters are re
moved trom the Russian bear.
"The prospective showing of 8 per cent
earned on New York Central has coma as a
reminder that tho railways are the first to
share in the benefits of big crops and their
transportation.
"Whether the public will be led into a re
newed campaign or not owing to a number
of untoward events during the past six
weeks it is difficult to say. So far their atti
tude has been negative, only they have not
sold out. If the short interest abroad is as
largo as many believe, the arrival of next
Wednesday, which is contango day in tho
London Stock Exchange, may be attended
by fi ee purchases to cover. The indications
of the stock loan market at the close was
that a large short interest is still open.
"The Lead Trust reorganization is pro
ceeding, and on December 1 it ill be de
clared effective, about two-thirds of the
shareholders having already assented.
"As the courts nave uecmea that a trust
form is an illegal one, obstructionists can
not invoke Judicial aid to arrest the trans
fer to a legal form. The price of the Lead
Trust is very near Its lowest figures, while
most of tho industrial stocks are near their
highest. The business of mahlng white lead
is a staple and profitable one, and now
larirely under control of this organization.
"Whisky Trust is said to be in better
shape than ever before, and as It pays 6 per
cent its snares look temptingly cheap.
"The bank statement was fully as good as
expected.
"One of the cheapest bonds on the list is
Erie seconds. They pay 6 per cent and sell
at 107 against 116 for the general sixes. The
semi-annual interest is due December L"

THE MAEKET CONTINUED TO
VANCE AS IT COMMENCED.
AD-
Important Gains Were Noticed In the Gen
erally Inactive Shares Litttle Organ
ized Resistance to the Operations of
Traders on the Outside.
New Yoek. Nov. 21. The stock market to
day continued to advance in tho same man
ner that it began yesterday, and while the
mportant gains of the day were confined
almost exclusively to the generally inactive
shares, the whole list felt the stimulus, and
higher prices are the rule all along tho lino.
The buying of the day was largely by com
mission houses, and this faefwas the pecul
iar feature or the dealings which attracted
most attention and meeting with little or
no organized resistance outside of the
operations or the traders, who have, as
usual, been left in the rise, the upward move
ment had no serious set-back.
The foreigners wore, not a factor in the
dealings, having small orders on either side
of the market, and'the stimulus came from
domestic sources entirely. The opening
was strong at gains extonding to 14 per cent
over those or last night, and-as of late, the
trunk lines havo monopolized the greator
share of attention, Erie, especially, being
the active feature of the day. The grangers
were not neglected, however, and both St.
Paul and Eock Island were largely traded

It Did Not Have the Effect on the Market
That Was Anticipated It Had Been Re
garded as Certain to Come for Soma
Time.
CHICAGO The Prussian ukase has come
at last, but It did not have the effect on the
Chicago wheat market that was anticipated.
Indeed, the reports of the issue of this lm
perlal mandate have been repeated so many
times and Its appearancs so confidently ex
peoted that traders generally had taken it
for granted that the prohibition was but a
matter of a few days, and the effect of the
ukase had spent to a great degree itself be
fore its issue, but continental as well as
English cables started the market to ad
vance the second time and was mostly ac
countable for the firmness which existed to
day. San Francisco was reported stronger
at$l 14, an advance of 3c per bushel. Prance
was reported a zood buyer there, and the
United Kingdom was reportedas doing some
bnving.
The provision market was afflicted with
dullness and Indifference on the part of the
traders and in the absence of any strong
lead from any of the influential.the packers,
pi ice changes were light. Pork closed
2Jc lower for December and January, and
7J-4C lower for May. Lard is unchanged and
ribs are also at the same price as on the day
before, except for May, which is a fraction
better.
The leadlne futures ranged as follows, as cor
rected by John M. Oaklev & Co.. 45 Sixth street,
members of the Chicago Board or Trade:
RHEUMATISM.
Acnte, Sub-Acute anil Chronic--Mr.
Spencer's Case The Six
Dollar Rate Continued for the
Best oftlie Year. '
Pain may be general or local, in the mus
cles or In .the joints. When in the joints
there is some swelling, tenderness and stiff
ness: the suffering is increased by motion,
duo to a deposit, which, if permitted to con
tinue, will produce a stiff and immovable
joint. In the more acute state these symp
toms are aggravated, with fever and pers
piration. We do not know of a case of acute articu
lar rhenmatism we have treated in the past
six years wuicn was not arrestea in is
hours. At least, no case should be allowed
to run on more than 48 hours because of
the incurable heart complications that fol
low (roughness and Insufficiency of the car
diac valves), where the acute symptoms ar
permitted to exist for any considerable
length of time. The physician who permits
the symptoms of acute articular rheumatism
to persist longer than 43 hours, nay, 24 hours,
is not a good therapeutist. The sooner the
acute symptoms are arrested tho sooner the
snb-aciite symptoms snbside and the I ess lia
ble is the disease to recur. The past few
years we have seen many deformed and
crippled persons who wonld to-day havs
perfect use of their limbs if the necessary
precautions bad been taken during the first
few hours of the disease.

Diseases Mistaken for Rheumatism.
Bbeumatism is often mistaken for other
diseases, especially gout;but goat is periodic,
lasts about a week, attacks the smaller
Joints and affects the kidneys. Rheumatism
attacks the lakoe joints, begins with ex
posure, lasts several weeks or months when
not medically arrested, affects the heart but
not the kidneys. Then there is the bhetcca
rto dtscbasia or rueuiiatio Ar.Tnarn3, which
is a separate and distinct disease, and has to
be treated on a different principle. In this
there is enlargement of the knuckles,
thicRening of the skin, especially at the
palms ofthe hands, procuring contraction
of the fingers, pain in the heel tendon, burn
ing pains in the soles ofthe feet and palms of
the hands. Then again rheumaisnl is often
mistaken for internal pain-producing
tumors, disease ofthe hones and membrane
that covers them, chronic malaria, lead pois
oning, shingles, neuralgia, spinal disease and
disease of the bladder. How many a poor
patient has been burned and blistered along
the sciatic nerve, had the nerve time and
again injected with hypodermics, and the
nerve as a last resort stretched, all for
"sciatio rheumatism,' when the seat of the
trouble was at the neck of the bladder and
the pain reflected down the thigh Dy a nervo
Indirectly connected with this great sciatio
nerve. But a physician well up in his diag
nosis is not very liable to mistake either of
these diseases for rheumatism.
Dr. Davis has returned from a short vaca
tion, and his many iriends at the Electro
pathic Institute will be glad to see him per
sonally in the chair again, lie has decided
to contlnue'the $5 rate for treatment and
medicine to all persons and for ail diseases
