TRADE OF THE WEEK. Seasonable Movement, With flo De pressing Influences at Work. ADVANCED GROUND FIRMLY HELD. A Nnmlier of Important Peals in Bealty Brought to a Conclusion. TIIENIMICKPROPERTY CHANGES HANDS "With the exception of the attempt upon the life of the banker and broker, Kussell Sage, the week in the business world was characterized by no unusual event. Bus iness traLsactions were of the usual volume a little larger in spots hut averaging about the same as the previous week. "So bad influences were set in motion to impair confidence or cause timidity. Said a prom inent business man: "While the financial distrust which rjcrvaded the country at the beginning of the year, and for some time after, has almost entirely disappeared, it has developed a strong conservative senti ment which makes complete restoration of activity slow i ork. But it is encouraging to know that all of the lost ground recov ered is securely held, and that the curative process is still in operation. By the turn of the year it is hoped and believed the last cloud will have disappeared." Locally, there was no Important change from the previous week in the volume of business or conditions. In one respect, at least, I'ittsburg is peculiar. Her industries and activities, being of a substantial char acter, are not easily affected. They are of the year-in-and-year-out sort, that can al ways be depended upon. Hence she is the last to yield to depression and the first to re spond to a bulge. Realty on tlie Jump. While there w ere no notable transactions in real cstato duung the week, there were several of more than ordinary importance. Yesterday was productive of an unusual number of interestipg events. J. II. Coleman A, Co closed the sale of the Niunck piopertv, at Wilkinsburg, to a land syndicate at $70,000. It consists of 30 acres. TliconI) building is a .small frame house of UttW value. It will be plotted and put on tho market in the spring. Baxter, Thompson & Co practically closed a deal 101 a large tract of iandon the Monon gahela, with a view to locating a large man ufacturing plant thci eon. Tho considera tion is in the neighborhood ot $40,000. Black & Baud bold a business ptoperty on the lower end or Third avenue lor $30,000.

The Hubley property, at Wilkinsburg, was resold dm nig the week to ilurphy & Die bold, East End lumber dealers, at a slight advance on the mice paid by Mr. Dick. The llipncll Maiiulactuimg Company, an Eastern concern, jestei day leased through Bl ick & Baird one or the floors in the Eaglo Cotton Mill building, Allegheny, with pov.er, foi the munutdctuie ot brass, goods. Ttuildings for the Week.

The Keal Kstate Exchange Sales. Some surpiise has been expressed that the regular w cekly sales promised at the Real Estate Exchange have not been kept up. P.irt'cularly is this felt becauee the one set of sales which was held proved upon short notice a decided success. The 100m was crowded by parties having an interest in the market, and three properties were sold. A fourth, which was advertised, would havo been bought if the agent in charge had not already disposed of it by private sale. It is said that the reason w hy the pro gramme of the Exchange has been allowed to lag is because the agents are so bnsv with private negotiations upon the propel ties in their hands. Nevertheless", the possibility of a market where people can realize quickly w hen thev hav e to sell, and the attractions of bargains to investor, are worth some thing. As the agents would have their com missions all the same.theExchange wouldn't work to their pecuniary disadvantage. For a certain class of property these periodical sales would seem to bo a first-class thing. The' will doubtless bo resumed after tho holidays, if not before. Business News and Gossip. The sale of tho Nimick property at M'ilkinsburg, will probably soon be followed by that of the Singer place in the same neighborhood. Judging trom the number of real estate sales published in this column dm ing the w eek, and especially to-day, the claim made in some quaiters that the market is stag nant will scarcely hold water, facts, always outweigh theory. Mr. George IL Wcstinghouse, Jr., who has returned from the East.says, with reference to the business of the Ail brake Company, that he is in receiptof information from rail way orflcers to the effect that they will re quire brakes forabout 15,000 cars which have been or will shortly be oideied. Ho says tho Airbrake Company has vety little tofesr trom competition from anv other concern until the question of infringement of the company's patents has been determined in the courts. The capacity ot the works of the Westinghouso Company at Wilmerding is sufficient to meet the demands of the whole country; in fact, they can turn out a com plete brake everv working minute, and this rate can be gieatly inei eased if necessary. On call yesterday 17K was bidforDuquesne Traction, offeied at 17"i: Manchester was offered at 3S; 1SJ J was bin tor Birmingham 92 for Birmincham bonds. 80 for Electrfn serin Birmingham bonds were offered at 94W There wero sales of Westinghouse Electric in Boston at 13 and 13J.

The West Bought Freely or Its Favorite Shares The Grangers and the Vander bilts Show Up the Strongest in the List of Securities. New York, Dec. 5 The stock market to day was quite active after the fli st half hour and displayed a stronger tone than it has for some time, tho lesult being material ad vances in some ot the leading stocks and smaller gains in almost everything traded In. The opening wa3 very dull, but gener ally higher than last night's pi ices and fur ther improvement nasmade fiom the first sales, and when it became evident that the West w as buying freely of its favorites there was again an endeavoi to cover some of the outstanding shorts which mitenally in cieascd the business done and kept tho upward movement going when it might otherwise have been arrested by realiza tions, or tho issue of the bank statement, which showed a small loss in surplus re seive. This, however, was due to a heavy expan sion or loans even ill the lace of the heavy incieaso in deposits. Among the usually active list the Granccis and Vandeibilts weie most piominent for strength, and New York Central, after touching 117. reacted a ltaction, and still closed 1 percent higher than last evening. The only other mateual advance was in EUgar, but all the leading stocks rose large fractions. The feat.ire of the day, however, was the spurt in the Mil waukee, Lake Shoie and Western stocks, the common iisincSuer cent to 87. and the nre- ferrod, aftei selling np to 1202, closed 5Ji per cent higher nt 119Ji. An old story that negotiations had been concluded by which the road was to become a pattof the North westerm system was current, nnd to some minds accounted for the advance. The maikct closed active and strong at or about the highest prices of the day. At New Yoik tho total sales of stocks wero 124,309 shares, including: Atchison, 5330: Chicago Ga, 3,313; Delaware.

Oakley & Co. received the follow ing over their private wiie: "Hon. Edward O. Leech, Director of the Mint, has prepared, as usual with him, an able nnd exhaustive annual report. Among the many Interest inc features is the table of coinage of the nations of 188S, 1489 and"1890, from which we j extract the following figures of the silver and gold coinage of India, stated In dollais: Silver, I8SS, $36 297,112: 1889, $37,937,814; 1'93, $57,931,323. Gold, lSfS, $10,821; 1SS9, $110 328. From these flguies one can readily see how deeply Ansrlo-Indian Interests are involved in the silver question, and the Eastern pos sessions of the Queen may yet be heard of In tho halls of Westminster. The coinage of India in 1890 was 20,000 000 Kteaterthan in 1888 or 1880, and the extra Indian demand this year lor silver, together with the increasing demand for coinasie and speculative purposes in this country ju't berore andirter the pissnge or the act or Januniy 14. lSr-0, accounted for the main tained ilse in its pricp dining tho latter hair of 1S90, notwithstanding dear money and dist uliedflnanciil position in all the world's markets. This year the demand fiom India is more neailv'anormal and averageono, and itslailmeto keep up its exceptional impoitsor ISOOisoneorthechier causes or the piesent low price of silver. The exports of silver from London to India during tho first nine months of the present calendar year from January 1 to October 8, 1891. as gi en bv- Mr. Lech, weie JE3,0'3 626, against XC 591,156 in the samo period ot 1S90 The market lor good, hull-class dividend payers was verv stiong, and this is the very best sign one coald desire in a stockmarket. Tliebujeisof the New York Central, Lake Shore, Northwest, St. Paul preferred and Omaha preferred aie not meie scalpers on iOioestiing margins trvinr to make a Christmas piesent for their childien; they are men of means who are attesting their faith in the earning power or these gieat propei ties. This kind of buying will almost snr. ly lead to a burst of general speonlativo stiength that will carry up the second and third class of stocks and excite active and bnojancv of opinion among the rank and file of operators. "The market was active as well as strong, and this, too, despited the fact that tele graphic servicp was generally interrupted. We look for a higher market Monday." A Waitlne Period. Henry Clows &, Co. say: "A stage of the year has now been reached when, in spite of favorable conditions, the market is not usually responsive to movements for ad vancing prices. In three weeks, we shall bo In the midst of tho diverting influences of the chief holidajs of the year. The period of taking stock, making up annual accounts, providing formtcrest settlements and mak ing a variety of annual liquidations, is not a time for initiating a speculative campaign; and, therefore, whatever may bo thought of the legitimacy of a use in stock values cor responding to tho manv-sidcd stimulus that now bears upon the stock maikot, it is not to be supposed that anv important movement of that character is likely to appear until near the close of the jear or at the beginning of ls92. Dm ing that, inteival we may possibly witness some 11 regularity in the market. The bears will need to ecrt all their skill and power to extricate themselves Iiom their large short commitments; and such tem poiary successes as they may havo will af lord opportunities for buying. On the other hand, it seems quite piobable that outside happenings maj preponderate on the favor able side. The inipioving tendoncy of af fairs in theinteiiorand in Europe, the effect of the crop3 npon lailioad earnings, the growth of ease in money, nnd the return of gold from Europe are influences that aro likely to continue to turther develop' thioughout December; which may bo ex pected to steadily prepare the way for a later movement toward higher prices, which it seems to bo very generally conceded would then be legitimately due and likely to occur.

GOSSIP OP THE GUARD. Ad-iutat Joh:t Huebaed, of the Four teenth Kegiment, left for an extended West ern trip last wpek. Assistant PrntGros W. F. Eobesox, of the Eighteenth Regiment, returned yesterday from a brief trip to Philadelphia. Ca?tait William A. WiTntEirp, of the States Fencibles, has been promoted to the majority in that organization. The members of tlie Gray Invincibles, tho only colored company in the National Guard, claim to have received assurances from Han isbnrg that In case any opening occuis in the First Brigade by reason of tho disbandment of other organizations, tho Inv incibles will be recruited to a. regiment. In other words the elaim is that should the Third Regiment suffer disbandment by rea son of piesent troubles. Captain Hailstock, of the colqrert company, will be allowed to lecrmt a regiment. Thd Washington Infantry held its regular annual election of civil ofheers last Tuesday evening with the following result: Presi dent, Captain A. P. Shannon: Recording Sec letcry, A. 31. Folding; Financial Secretary, s,. F. Walborn; Treasnrer, W. R. Geilfuss; Hoaidof Directors. Cnptnin Shannon, Lieu tenant Geilfuss and Lieutenant Neibaum. The officers of tho Washington Infantry re port the organization in excellent condition, eight new reeiuits being received during November, lour of whom aro in the drill squad. New applications aro received almost every drill night. The members of Company B, Fourteenth Regiment, still pine for their camp pay lue from the tour of duty at Arnold Station last summer. All the other organizations in tho brigade have been long since paid off, but this company seems fated to watch and wait in vain. Tho ieason assigned orig inally for holding back the money was tbat Lieutenant Hull, of the company, had never received his com mission, and consequently the rolls were incorrect. This was tin ee or four months ago, nnd Licutennnt Hull has long since re ceived his nccessai v piece of parchment.but the money tails to make its appearance just thesinie. Numeious letters loiwardedby Colonel Perchment and Adjutant Hubbard fail to bung tho proper responses. The report of Jlajor Samuel Haz'.et, Brigade Ordnance Officer for the season of rifle practice, just closed, is mteiesting. The total number or sharpshooters nnd marks men for 1891 is 2,053, showing an increase of 3b0 over last year. Every organization in the brigade shows an increased number of qualified raen.Company A, of the Tenth Keg iment, being the only company not report lnz promptly. The Fifth Beziment leads in tho number of men qualified, with the Eighteenth Regiment in second place. The totals by regiment are: Fifth Regiment, 134 sharpshootcis, 312 maiksmen; total, 416.

After over four months' delay Adjutant Charles Reese, of the Eighteenth Regiment, has been notified by the Adjutant General's office in Harrisburg that it has no Jurisdic. tion In the matter of his application for a coartof inquiry, and that his papers have been turned over to General Snowden, at division headquarters, for official action. It will be lemerabered that the cause of Lieu tenant Reese's application for a court or in quliy was duo to a reprimand given him by Colonel Krumboar on the field at Camp Kensington last summer, in the presence of a number of officers and enlisted men. for an alleged discourtesy to axi aid de camp on tho Governor's staff. Immedi ately after tho censuio was given to Jlr. Reese, a demand was madsforacourtof in quiry to investlzato his conduct, and then it was that an attempt was made to hush up the matter. It was claimed at the time that the Governors aid was new in military liro and unaccustomed to its forms: that his fam ily position and relations w ith the Governor were such that tho notoriety of a court would uo him serious injurj: nnd, finally, the offer was made to compromise the mat ter by having him quietly resign. To all these offers tho demands were lepeated time and again for official investigation and clearance as public as the censure had been given. Now, after a delay of over four months, the announcement of noiurisdic tionis made and tho matter placed in the hands of another department. The actions of the officials at nairisLurg in this case aio certainly not such as to encourage mili taiy discipline, and suggests a resort to bodily punishment as the only recourse for an insult to bo obtained under tho piesent condition of affairs in the National Ginid.

I passed many sleepless niehts from nervous depression and was so tired in the morning I could hardly get up. "Finally I leaiized that something must be done and that quickly, and as I had rend of the good work being' done by the physi cians of tho Electropathic Institute, at 507 Penn av enue, I concluded I would try a eourso of electricity. Ihe relier afforded was almost instantaneous, and under the stimulating effects or the electric current, aided by such medicine as was prescribed lor me, I improved rapidly, until now I can work all day, can walk as fast as anyone and haven't an ache nor pain about me.

I had been unable to do any business for two years. One day I rcau in a paper tho testimonial of a gentleman who claimed he had been cured by the physicians of the Catarrh and'Dyspepsia Institute. I investigated, and finding his statement true, and that some or his symptoms appeared like mine, I called at the Institute.
