A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK
For;Those Who Deal in Stocks and
Other Financial Investments.
MATTHEW MARSHALL IS HOPEFUL
And Tells Why He relieves There Are
really Good Times Ahead.
JIOXBT SEVER MORE TLEXTI OR CHEAP
rsriCtAT. TELIQKAM TO THE DISFATCIM
Xevt York, Aug. 7. Matthew Marshall's
financial notes of the week, for to-morrow's
Sun, are as follows:
Uu-lncs at the Stock Exchange continues
to improve, the total dealings in listed stooks
lor the neck again snowing a considerable
Increase over those of tlie week previous,
while those in the unlisted stocks have but
slightly diminished. The salient feature
of the market is the firmness of high-priced
shares, such as those of companies like Con-f-olidated
Gas. Lake Shore, Lone; Island,
Manhattan Elevated and the coalers, the
iemand fur which is sufficiently explained
by the pressure of Idle money and their own
favorable prospects. In addition, a number
of stimulating rumors In regard to the com
panies are in circulation, some of which may
possibly be true, but none of which. If true,
are important.
The industrial stocks were not quite so
actively dealt in as they were the week be
loie, but a noticeable absorption of them by
Investors has commenced, which tends to
maintain them at their present advanced
quotations. The surplus income, both of
tlits country and of Kurope, has not gone
Into new enterprises to any great extent
since the IUring collapse a year and a half
aso, as the accumulation of currency at the
great financial centers demonstrates. Con
sequently, the best old securities are nearly
out of the market, and when they are to be
bought at all they bring high prices.
Temptation In Urje Dividends.
ThU turns the attention of capitalists to
newer and le9 approved enterprises, and
makes tlieui look longingly at the largo divi
dends promised by the industrials. Still,
they are deterred from buying these as
freely or they would otherwise, by the
secrecy -which veils the affairs of the com
panies, and I do not very well see how the
eil can safely be lifted. Industrial opera
tions are of such a nature that knowledge of
the woi Id, and information about thein ob
tained from private sources. U always more
or less impel feet. The only thing that an
outsider can do U to tely upon the personal
characters of the managers of the various
enterprises, and if he is not willing to trust
them with his monev he had better do some
thing else witli it. They are like the general
pattner in a business "firm of which he is
only a special partner. Everything depends
upon their honesty and ability, and a special
partner has nothing else to look to.
Meanwhile, the piocess combining and
consolidating numerous small industrial
concerns into single great ones goes on
apace, the latest example being the forma
tion of the National Wall Papar Company
out of about 20 little corporations and firms
engaged in the manufacture of wall papers.
Tim capital of the new company is $20,000,000,
and its promoters assert that they have the
control of the country. As in other similar
caes it is also asserted that with little or no
increase of the selling prices of tho goods,
great profits can be made by reducing the
expenses of manufacturing and manage
ment. This seems to be founded in reason,
and is probably true.
W orkingnien short of Leaders.
While capital is thus becoming every day
concentrated In fewer hands, the movement
for the organization of labor is, on the con
trary, anything but prosperous. As I re
marked eek before last, the chief obstacle
to a perfect union of w orkingnien is their
want ot discipline and leadership. Leaders
especially, sufficiently educated and Intelli
gent so to order and manage strikes as to
insure success, seem tew and far between.
The Homestead woi kmen evidently were ill -informed
about the number of men able and
willing to take their places, aud they like
wise under-estimated the pulilic detestation
of rioting and lawlessness in enforcing their
demands. Against the blunders which they
have made competent heads would have
warned them in season, and would have ad
vised them to accept the terms offered by
their employers, biding a more favorable
time for demanding better ones.
The building trades strikes In this city
have been more skillfully managed, bnt still
their result, so far as any result has been
Teached, indicates that they wore not justi
fied, and will prove fruitless of good.
Keverthcless, I adhere to my opinion that a
complete, or nearly complete, union of
woiklngmenis the result toward which so
ciety is tending, and, though It is yet a long
way off, it will be reached at last. Imper
fect and often mischievous as are the labor
unions in their present condition, they are
better lor the workingmen than the old
chaos of Individualism which some em
ployers idly talk or restoring.
Personal Assaults ot Advisable.
As Benjamin Franklin said to his fellow
patriots after signing the Declaration of In
dependence, so the workingmau can say to
all other woi kinsmen, "ily friends, we must
hang together, lor if we do not we shall be
hanged separately." While, too, like all
other good citizeus.I abhor personal assaults
us a. means of enforcing united action, I
lnal.e great allowance for the habits and
uijiincis of men engaged in mechanical
occupations. Every animal fights with the
weapons which come readiest to it. Cats
use their claws, dogs their teeth, women
their wiles and blandishments, educated
men argument and leason, aud uneducated
men their fists. Besides, to muscular arti.
tans a beating is by no means so serious an
outrage as it is to more delicate creatures,
and it does not express the same malignity.
Time and experience will correct the evil,
and by its disappearance the cause of nnlted
labor will gain immensely in public estima
tion. The smallness of the gold exports last
w cck and the prospect of their early cessa
tion aro pretty generally viewed with satis
faction by our financiers, but for what rea
son 1 do not understand. The total amount
oi coin and paper money in the country ac
cording to the latest Treasury statement Is
over 42,200,000,000, of which $1,000,000 is in the
hands of the people and In the vaults of tho
banks, leaving$000,000,000,000 locked up in the
Treasury. To this enormous mans we are
adding every mouth about $4,000,000 in legal
tender notes, issued against purchases of
silver bullion under the act of July, 1890, so
that in a year from this date our currency
w ill be further increased by about $50,000,000.
So Dancer of Money Stringency.
Why, in view of these figures, anybody
should fear a fall in the prices ot securities
and merchandise whenever a few millions
of dollars in gold are sent to Europe in
liquidation of our debts is more than I can
explain. If every dollar of gold in the
Treasury and in the banks were thus ex
ported it would not in the least diminish the
amount of money in circulation, aud if the
cutiie stocks of it in use in tho country
were withdrawn, the loss would be only
about $300,000,000, leaving us still $1,900,000,
000 to go on with. The fact Is that we nave
too much currency, and the exoort of gold
i.-. the natural coriective of the redundancy.
Were it not to the loss of gold we have al
ready sustained would have produced a
rise in the prevailing rates or Interest,
w hercas, as w e see, nothing of the kind has
taken place.
Indeed, so difficult is it to lend money at
any rate whatever, that one of the largest
ti ust companies in the city has cut its de
positors down to 1 per cent per annum, and
it is teluctant to take fresh deposits even
on those terms. It Is significant, too, that
the West is calling this year for much less
money than usuai to moie the crops, show
ing that the local supply is larger.
The lriends of silver have been a little
cheeied during the week by a cable dispatch
lroin Vienna announcing that the famous
statistician, Prof. Adolph SoetDeer, has de
v ised a scheme for promoting an increase of
the use or silver money, the principal feat
in e of which is the restriction of gold coin
age to pieces of the value of not less than $2.
Only a Cheerful Look Ahead.
Considering that in practice thi9 restric
tion long ago took effect, and that tho small
eat gold coins in circulation any w here in
Europe are the British half sovereign, the
French 10 francs and the German 10 marks,
all of which are worth $2 and more, I do not
see what the learned professor is aiming at.
Nobody In this country could be persuaded
on any terms to carry around In bis pocket
more silver than he does now, and there Is
no leason for believing that Europeans
differ greatly from us in this respect.
The approaching international bi-metaUio
conterouce which has been called at the
request er President Harrison will probably
result, like its predecessors, In a wearisome
and fruitless threshing over of old straw,
and nothing more. The new ministry In
Uieat Britain will be more hostile to silver
than that which Is about to go out of office.
Germany certainly will not undo the reform
In bor currency which she accomplished at
so great an expense in 187$, ana Anstria
Hungary has within a few weeks formally
resolved to substitute the gold for the silver
standard, and has begun to mint her new
fold coln. Without the concurrence of
heso three great nations nothing in favor of
silver can be done, so that tho conference is
foredoomed to failure, Dr. Chauncey M.
Depew's opinion to the contrary notwith
standing. Congress has adjourned without passing
any of the mischievous financial measures
feared from it, so that the business com
munity will have a respite from its anxiety
in this respect until next wlntor. The crops
promise well, and ousht to furnish lucrative
occupation for the railroads besides swelling
our exports to Europe in parment for im
ported goods. Altogether. 1 think our peo
ple have reason for looking cheerfully. If
not with enthusiasm, at the immediate
future.
MR. DAVIS IS PHILOSOPHICAL
The World' Fair Offlc-r Disposed to Ac
cept the 82,500,003 Appropriation He
Refines to Talk of an Attempt to Knock
Oat the Sunday Observance Clans.
Director General George A. Davis, of the
World's Columbian Exposition, passed
through Fitttburg on the limited last night
on his return home to Chicago from Wash
ington. The Director has taken a philosophical
view of the ?2,500,000 appropriatior and
thinks the Commissioners have done as well
as they could, considering the opposition
they nave met with from the very
birth of the idea. "I thought
and still think the Government would
have done better by appropriating the sum
asked for and taking a percentage of the
proceeds or standing part of the losses, as
the case may be, but, as they have seen fit
to cut down'one-half and making it a cift,
I suppose we must make the best of it."
"Will an attempt be made to eliminate
the clause recardine Snndav closing with
the next Congress?" asked The DISPATCH
reporter.
"I mustdecline to talk of that, "answered
the Director, "as it would be indiscreet
and inadvisable. Congress is all powerful
in this matter, and it they are so disposed
can close the gates of the Exposition by an
act to that purpose."
"The idea prevails in Chicago that the
next Congress will be more liberal upon the
Sunday opening question than was the one
just adjourned. Do you think this idea the
correct one?"
"I cannot discuss the matter at present.
What will be done in the future regardini;
this will be made known later on," and the
gentleman returned to his coach.
AN IMPORTANT OIL DECISION.
The State of Ohio Has No Interest In Petro
leum on Leased Lands.
LIMA, O, Aug. 7. Special. Judge
Day yesterday evening handed down an
important decision in an oil case. The
case was that of the State of Ohio versus
J. C Lineman, of this city; Shaw & Lay
ton, of Wapokoneta, and the Buckeye Pipe
Line Company, of this city. The defend
ants embodied all their claims together,
the defense being the same, in order to
make a test case. Shaw, Layton and Line
man are producing oil on some land leased
from the State, and the Buckeye Pipe Line
Company, learning that the State was about
to claiman interest in the oil, refused to
deliver the oil unless the producers would
give them a sufficient bond. This they re
fused to do, and the State was finally'pur
suaded to bring suit to test the case, and
the case was heard this week.
The Judge delivered his decision against
the State, holding that the State had no in
terest in the oil produced from the land
leased by the State to the defendants.

SPARKS GETS IT HOT
From Land Commissioner Carter in
the Latter's Annual Report.
HIS POLICY IS DENOUNCED
as navinc Teen One That Greatly Retarded
theAYorkofthelffice.
IMPROVEMENT UNDER THE NEW RULE
Washington', Aug. 7. The annual re
port to the Secretary of the Interior of the
operations of the General Land Office for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1892, was
made public to-day. A careful reading of
this report, says Commissioner Carter, will
demonstrate that the liberal and just policy
toward the settlers upon the public domain,
adopted by Secretary Noble at the begin
ning of this administration, has been pro
ductive of very satisfactory and beneficent
results, The report continues:
I felt Justified in predicting, in my annual
report of last year, that with the force theu
at command, the business of this bureau
would be brought up abreast with
current work by tho end of the
fiscal year Just closed. It is gratifying to me
now to bo aole to report to you that a literal
fulfillment of the prediction has been fully
consummated. In order that the magnitude
of the nork done during the last fiscal year
may readily be comprehended, and the re
sult accomplished fully appreciated, I feel
warranted in referring to and discussing
briefly the policy that governed and con
trolled the business of this office nnaertho
lait administration, from 18S5 to 1SS9.
Commissioner Sparks, in his annual leport
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 18S5 said:
"At the outset of my administration I was
confronted with the overwhelming evidence
that the public domain wan being made a
prey of unsorunulons speculation and the
worst foims of land monopoly through sys
tematic fraud carried on aud consummated
under public land laws."
A VI rong View ot Things Taken.
IIo fnrther stated in the same report, In
discussing the subject of commuted home
steads, that the proportion of fraudulent
entries of this kind could De more nearly esti
mated as the whole number of such entries
than in any other manner; that the averags
proportion of fraudulent pre-emption filings
to the total number of filings made and re
linquished should be climated In round
numbers us exactly L0O0 per cent, and that
90 per cent of all timber cut was fraudulent.
Having become wrongfully imbued with
the idea that nearly, nil, or at least a very
large proportion of the entries' made upon
the publio domain were fraudulent, and
that the great body of well disposed settlers
were unscrupulous, it is not surpilsin? that
Commissioner Spaeks, on April 3, lt85.
Issued an order suspending action on all
entries (cxceDt on certain scriD locations
andonpiivate cash entries), in the whole
ot Colorado except thn Ute reservation, and
in all of Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Washington,
New Mexico, Montana, Wyoming and por
tions of Kansas, Nebraska and Minnesota.
The detrimental effect of this and other
similar sweeping orders, and of the mis
taken impression and policy which
prompted them, upon the business of this
office, was very great, and as a consequence
this administration, on assuming the reins
of government in 1S89. was "confronted" by
a Land Office greatly demoralized in all its
ramifications, lujnstice, or a denial of Jus
tice, under the machinery of the law, was
its dominant feature. Tho settler who had
honestly and laboriously, and at much
hazard and heavy expense, complied in
good faith with all the requirements of the
laws, outraged and indignant at the multi
plied injuries inflicted on him by malad
ministration, demanded a patent, a title to
the land he had, ly settlement, cultivation,
and compliance with the law, fully
earned.
A Change of Policy Beneficial.
Tiros, by reason of tbla erroneous and mis
taken policy, the legitimate channels of
business in this office had become clogge J,
and by reason of wrongful delays a vast
amount of work had accumulated, there
being at the close of the fiscal year ending
June SO, 1SSS, 350,933 entries of all kinds pend
ing or awaiting consideiatlon. Under these
circumstances a change of policy was
deemed necessary. Hence, shortly after
March 4, 1889, a new administrative policy,
based on a liberal and enlightened Interpre
tation of public lands, was adopted
and has been continued during the inter
vening fiscal years. Under this new policy
settlers are presumed to be honest and well
disposed toward the Government aud the
laws, and public land business has been ex
pedited with marked beneficent results.
In virtue of this marked and beneficial
change of policy, and under the favorable
legislation mentioned, the large number of
accumulated entries above stated, together
with an addition of 318,018 entries, receivod
since the prevent polioy was inaugurated,
had, on June 30, 1891 been carefully consid
ered and proper notion taken thereon.
Comparative tables accompanying this
report show an excess during the four fiscal
years ondlng June SO, 1893, over the four
years ending June 80, 1888, in the number
and acreaze of agricultural patents Issued,
of nearly Its per cent, substantially olearlng
the docket and leaving tho office on July I,
Is It Worth
the Chance?
If you are sincere in encour
aging honest manufacturers in
giving you pure preparations
instead of worthless ones, at
fair instead of seemingly
cheap price, is it worth the
chance to purchase the dozen
and one adulterated extracts
on the market instead of Dr.
Price's Delicious Flavoring
Extracts of Lemon, Orange,
Vanilla, etc, that impart the
natural flavor of the fruit, and
are endorsed for their purity,
strength and economy?
A trial of Dr. Price's Delicious
Flavoring Extracts will prove
a great movement towards
good eating, active digestion
and happy homes.

As to mineiat and coal patents the report
hows an exoess, under & similar, compari

Issued, of 98 per oent and In the number of
coal patents issued of 22 per cent, clearing

lions of permanent wealth.
Great Increase In fu-vryed Acreage.
During the period of 1889 to 1892 there were
8,123,335 acres of the publio domain surveyed,
as against 2,715,302 during toe preceding four
years. During the last fiscal year tho cash
sales, according to the report, aggregated
1,871,478 acres, the principal item of which
was 913.8S9 acres, which were entered under
the pre-emption law.
The total acreage disponed of during the
year was 13,00,019. "three thousand two
hundred and forty-two mineral and mill set
imtents weie Issued during the year, as
against ,79S dnr ng the year 189L The re
port Miows that the vacant pnb'lc lands in
the United States aggregate C67.53fl,7S3 acres.
The Commissioner recommends a liberal
policy In reference to surveys ot the public
lands In all of the States. A general law on
tho subject of publio forests is, the report
says, unquestionably demanded, whioh
shall make adequate provision In respect to
both forest reservation and the cutting and
removal of timber to supply the publio ne
cessities, and shall f lso repeal all existing
acts or parts of acts inconsistent with the
provisions thereof.
A VERY SLICE F0EGEE.
Be Secnrrs 8400 on a Bogus Check -and
Finds a Bl.in to Identify Him.
Oil City, Aug. 7. Special It became
known today that on Friday afternoon a
cashier's check of the Lamberton Bank of
Franklin to George W. Eaton, an oil oper
ator, was presented at the Lamberton Bank
in this city. It bore the indorsement, or
alleged indorsement, of Mr. Eaton, and also
of the man who presented the check, He
was accompanied by a responsible party
known at the bank, who identified him,
and who also identified the indorsement on
the check as that of Mr. Eaton. The check,
which was for 5400, was accordingly cashed.
The man who secured the money subse
quently hired a rig and drove to Eeno, a
few miles from here, and went west on the
"W. N. Y. & P. train. The man who iden
tified him and the signature of Mr. Eaton
was surprised to be informed last night by
Mr. Eaton that he did not indorse the
check; that the signature upon it was not
his.
Charles H. May was the name given by
the man who got the money. He claimed
to be from St. Louis, and professed to be in
this section to purchase property. Tele
graphic descriptions of him, with directions
to arrest him, were sent out last night to
Meadville, New Castle, Pittsburg, Ash
tabula, Corry and other points, but he
was not secured. How he obtained
the check in the first place has not
been ascertained, but it is reported that it
was secured through notes and a letter
which he presented at the bank, which were
clever forgeries. He had been in this sec
tion but a short time, and very slickly im
posed upon the man who identified him.
Sirs. White Will Present a Ting.
The Conkling Club of the Sonthside is
to be presented with a handsome flag on
August 22 by Mrs. William G. White. A
meeting of the club will be held on that

tain of the club, will receive it. The club
has now about SO members.

Who Says Buttons?
We want to call the attention of the
ladies to pearl buttons "not pearls
of great price." It's but one of "the
many bargains offered in all depart
ments this week, and we cannot em
Ehasize it too strongly. Did you ever
efore hear of a couple dozen finest
pearl buttons being offered at a quar
ter dollar? We think not.
NOW YOU THINK.
Briefly stated we have 500 gross,
or 6,000 dozen, pearl buttons, best
made, finest pure white and shaded,
with shanks and 2 and 4 holes, plain;
and fancy carved in 20, 22 and 24
line (the most desirable sizes).
2
Just 1-2 Price.
The McKinley bill has advanced
the price of these buttons, but the
figure at which we are selling this
lot is lower than the same quality of
buttons were ever sold for previous to
the passage of that celebrated bill.
Two dozen for 25c all this week, if
they last that long.
BUT ONE OF MANY.
As above intimated our button bar
gain is but one of many. Unparal
leled values are offered in all depart
ments values that you can't obtain
at any other house in the city. We
would about as soon give goods away
as carry them from one season to an
other. It's something we never do.
Prices on Summer wear of all kinds
and descriptions are down to a point
that competitors haven't touched as
yet Come and be convinced that
we can save you money this month
of August.
