WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
Chicago Coal Market.

woRKNsAAN's ADVOCATE OFFICE,
May q. 1879.
The workingman's advocate., 1876-05-20

Trade MATTERs-There Is but little Or no
Improvement IN the condition Of trade
throughout the city. Manufacturers do not
care to invest while the market Is in such an
uncertain state. They are fearing q greater
shrinkage in values, and will not risk beyond
the present actual demand for their goods
this is true Of all the different lines OF man
ufscture, and as q consequence there is mere
surplus labor in the market than is comforta-
bic in Chicago.
The building trades are the same-thers
being only limited number Of contracts
made, and those for small houses. just At
present painters appear to be doing well, the
recent removals and changing of firms neces.
stating large amount of repairs and reft-
ting up stores and offices.
In the clothing line business, this season is
not up to the average, and the tailors feel a
more than usual slackness in their trade
Shoe making is also feeling the effects Of the
depression. Manufactures doing less than
the usual spring and summer business.
There is general discharge Of hands all
over the city-oause want of more Green
backs.

HOW To Make Money.

We will state that the surest, best and
speediest way Ia ''multiply and inc. ease"
is TO call at No. II Wal street, New York,
and consult with Alex rockingham a Co,
These gentlemen, who have long been
identified with the history and affairs of
Wall street. are unusually SIX illed in none
tary affairs, and in everything appertaining
to speculation, are uneXcelled for ability
and proficiency. IL may also be said that
of the many Brokers in that city they are
not only the most popular, but also the
most successful, best patrOnized, and most
widely known in or near the Vicinity Of
Wall Street.
Among the customers OF the house of
Alex rockingham * Co are some Of our
leading and representative citizens, who
are mainly indebted to the labors Of this
firm Tor much Of the wealth they now enjoy.
During the long and successful eNper-
fence OF Messrs. Alex. rockingham X Co.,
in this city they have earned for themselves
an enviabe reputation for honesty, integ.
rity and faith, and enjoy business almost
colossal in its proportions. In fact, the
amount OF business done by this house in
the course of a year Is something wonder
full, and often forms the subject of COM
ment. Ii needs but visit to their spacious
offices in Wall street TO prove the truth of
the above statement.
How they manage 10 convert $40 to $50
so TO $40, so into $50, and 80 on, l.
secret which they alone can explain; but
tina. they succeed in doing 80 is a fact too
well known to admit OF doubt. Ii you
would safely and probably invest your
money, do not hesitate 10 favor this firm
with your cash and confidence. Thatby so
doing you will reap an abundant reward,
the experience OF thousands of our best
e'tizcns attest. The necessity of taking
such u course in these times of toitering
banks and financial s'ringency must be APP
parent to the most indifferent and careless
observer.
Messrs' Alex. rockingham & Co., are
prepared TO invest money 10 any amount in
The best sc curities, aud ia every trausac.

antce entire satisfaction tothose who honor
them with their patronage.

More Confidence Men

since the arrest oi scott, GoOdail and
Whitehead, this city has been.iree. appar-
emily, from confidence men and conf
| dehce games. and our people have no
cause TO complain on this score. But
this state of affairs could not last always.
The COOL Lord for some unaccountable
reason has seen fit to aiilict the commu-
nifty with another gang Of these gentle
manly thieves, who perform their games
In the following manner:
On Thursday evening An old gentleman
named Samuel q. Moore. accompanied
by two children, arrived in this city, and
took rooms at the Planters House where
they remained until yesterday morning.
when Dir. Moore started ont to procure
railroad tickets for passage to Texas.
While on the street he was met bv a
couple OF we'll dressed men who struck
up Il conversation with him. and mani
tested much interest in his welfare. Az
ter talking for some time, Mr.. Moore's
new found friends suggested that they
all take Il walk Mr. Moore had no ob.
lection. and the three started leisurelv
about the streets. bringing up after an
hour or so, near the coal dump
below :ilalllday Brothers warehouse.
Here one of the gentleman who had
shown so much kindness in showing
Mr.. Moore the sights. suddenly become
aware that he was very much in need of
fifty dollars Immediately. and asked his
partner 10 lend him that amount. after
examining his pocket book, the latter cx-
pressed much regret at being entirely out
of money just at that moment but
thought probably Mr.. Moore could ac-
cOmmodatc him with the amount. and he
would see that the money was paid back
upon reaching the bank. Mr. Moore
also expressed regret that lie could not
advance him fifty dollars, forty-iivc dol
lars was all the money he had, but if
that would be of any service to the gen.
tleman, he was perfectly welcome toit
The gentleman really needed fifty, but he
would Try and make the forty-fivc an
=
received the forty-five dollars, and took
his departure. lie would return In Il
short time, and left his friend to entertain
Mr.. Moore.
The friend and Mr.. Moore fingered
about the lower part of town for some
time, and finally started back toward the
city. The friend was much surprised
and mortified at the hardness OF the gen
tleman who had the money, and re-
marked to Mr.. Moore that he would
meet him in a short time ut the
Planters when he would return
the fifty dollars. Mr.. Moore waited at
the Planters, but neither the men nor the
money came. lie became uneasy. and
made known To boarder his case. Upon
being informed that he had been the vic
tim OF confidence men, he at once applied
to Sheriff Irwin and explained his expert
ence to him. Sheriff Irwin at once went
to work, and in less than two hours lad
recovered the money and returned it to
its owner. The officers at once settled
on three beats who have been in the city
for some time, but Lave not pcrpetrated
their cowardly practices, knowing that
the officers were informed i'm regard to
their trade. Their names are John
O'Brien. James Stebbens and Harry
Hamilton.
