1 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1893. 11 FINANCE AND TRADE. Interest in the Election Restricts Business Materially. STOCKS APPARENTLY UNCHANGED. Hamoleton & Co. Furnish Some Informa tion About R. & 0. GOSSIP, BEAL ESTATE SALEF, OIL, ETC. Tuesday, Kov. 8. The bants were open to-day, and so were . the Grain and Flour Exchange, the offices of the stock brokers, real estate and mer chandise brokers. The wholesale and retail mercantile houses were also open for busi ness, as usual, but the Stock Exchange was closed, and in no other quarter Mas any attention of consequence paid to trading. A little interest was manifested in local securities, but so far as Inquiries were ex tended, the list appeared to be unchanged. At the meeting of the "Western Insurance Company to-day the old Board of Directors ai ic-clccted, as follows: Alexander Kim Jci., Ciurles J. Clarke. Philip Eeyuier, II. Sel lers McKee, John B. Jackson, Edwin H. Stowc, James S. Attertmry. James a.' JIo Devitr, William X. Frew, Chris L. Mnsee, John H. Dalzell, P. Harvey Miller, William KT Holmes. Transaction In Diiquesne traction and Philadelphia Comnaiiy were reportea on the street this allernon at 'Zi and 1iV re spectively. Instead or readinjr "President. Otto C. ISerKdorff," tho first ticket presented by the Bankers and Bank Cleifcs' Asociation, printed In The Dispatch, should Lave read: 'Piesident, John W.Taj lor; Vice President, Otto CLBercdoiflV' The rest of the ticket as printed was correct. The $90,0i.o 20- ears per cent bonds or the rittsOui-R, Allegheny and Manchester Com pany, dated Xoverribcr S, 1S72, were being paid off to-day by tho Fidelity title and Trust Company. The Pittsburg Incline Plane Comnany an nounces a qu irterly dividend of 2J per cent payable on demand. Baltimore and Ohio. The follow inn Is from the circular letter of Messrs. liambleton & Co., of Baltimore: "Some largo trans ictions in Baltimore and Ohio stockat the New York Exchange and a slight improvement In prices were made the occasion of a rumor that some deal was on foot and that an option had been obtained on a majority interest in the Baltimore and Ohio Company. The pool, which pm chased the $5,100,000 treasury stock from the Balti more and Ohio Company, have been large traders in or rather buyers of Baltimore and Ohio stock in the maiket, and have, probably, accumulated 20,000 ad dltional shares, and are supposed to control some 70,000 out or the total SoO.OOO shares. The Garrott party here hold 75,000 shares of B. & O.. so that the two in terests now hold a majority of the capital stock, and if combined could at any moment control the management and policy of tho company. As an in estment, B & O. stock is not especial! v attractive. The company has only recently resumed the paymrnt of dividends.and has increased its capital stock from $15,000,000 to $25,000,000. This capitali zation, it is tiuc, is comparatively small, out the (undoadebt and fixed chargesaie exces sively large. The earnings of the company show a lame decieasc, and except lor the large increase in pissenger traffic, incidental to the Grand Army En campment, would probably have de creased for the 12 months $500,000 net As it is, the decrease was over $200,000. B. & O. stock has undoubtedly, in addition to its intrinsic woith, a speculative value nhich may command fancy prices for a controlling Intel est. The two parties who hold the majority will probably come together ultimatelv. a deal be effected, and the road change hands. We have no doubt J that sooner or later this will take place, tmt wehaidlv think the time has yet arrived. The Beading and B. O. are woiking in liaimnnj and have mutual Interests. The B. & O. would be a valuable acquisition to the Reading svstem, and some day the two systems may be united. For the present B. & O promises to remain as it stands, and any movement in its shares will be, iu our opinion, governed more by manipulation thim by any prospective change in the management and policy of the company." Heal Estate bales. Tuesdvt, Nov. 8. Owing to the election, very little business was transacted in s ealty circles to-day. One pel mi t was issued by the Building In spector to H. A.

A blizzard Is raging in Northern Wis consin. All the cholera precautions against Ham burg have been removed in Beilln. Diphtheria in its most malignant form has broken out on Pittsburg street in Union ton n. Yaqni Indians attacked Lacr's rancbe near Arizona station, Ariz., Monday, but were repulsed. The cultan of Turkey nag pardoned Mav royeni Pasha, and reinstated him as his special physiclam. A Chicago pedestrian, Chris Miller, will start on a walking tour around the United States, beginningat San Fianclsco. A cave has been discovered about 12 miles from Harrisonburg, Va, It is said to rival the Luray caverns in size and beauty. The anti-Popery Association will prob ably make a dlsagieeable demonstration on the occasion of the Lord Mayor's show in London to-day. The stage between San Francisco and Sierra City, Cal.. was held up Monday night by a masked highwayman, who secured the express box. It Is not known how much the box contained. Tho keeper or the lighthouse on Pilot Island at the entrance to uieen nay, Mnrtln Knnntzen, re-cued the crews ot two vessels. He fed them for a week, running the risk of starvation himself. The murderer of tho 14-year-old Paris glil named Simon, whoso body was found 011 the river bank oovered all over with wounds, has been arrested. The murderer is a youth named Alfred Berry. The French Conservative League of Montreal has enteiea a vigorous piotest on the Manitoba school question which sets forth the history or the trouble from the be ginning. The treaty or Paris is cited to show Mint an agieomcnt was euteted into by the English as to tho liberties to bo preserved to the French people, and the league de clares that the dlstinot understanding be tween the Dominion of Canada and the Provlnco 01 Manitoba when the latter was taken into the confederation, was that sep arate sobools were to be preserved to the minority, as In the older provinces, and that the Manitoba school law of 1890 1b subversive of the rights or Roman Catholics.

This, of course, is to be expocted, for when one reaches later years, physical troubles are sure to come, but how many elderly people we see are healthy, happy and comparative ly vigorous. They always seem cheerful, bright, contented. Why should not all be equally fortunatet It certainly is possible. Every elderly man and woman needs to gently assist nature, all the while needs to take some pute stimulant regularly. Every doctor In the land admits this, and its com mon sense must do manifest to all. It should not be understood, however, that any ordi nary stimulant would be recommended. It must be something pure, powerful, health giving and strengtli-impaiting. Such a stimulant can be found only in Duffy's Puie Malt Whiskey. It is the only mediclual whiskey In the market. Its wonderful popu larity is due entirely to its power and what it has accomplished. Any elderly man or woman through its use may certainly pre serve the health, and mav reasonably expeot to prolong the life. Do not be in duced, however, to try any inferior article or any which the druggist or grocer may seek to put in its place. There is nothing which can accomplish the same object.
