ONE MORE IDLE DAY.
Tuesday a Legal Holiday Through
out Uncle Sans Dominions.
A FEW MISGUIDED GENTLEMEN
Shown Where They Are Wrong in Pre-
dieting Collapse Of Real Estate.
SCHEMES THAT SHOULD BE WORKED UP

Next Tuesday, April 30, will be legal holi-
day throughout the Union, in accordance with
the last section of an act approved March 2
1889, to commemorate the centennial observ-
ance of the Inauguration of the first President
of the United States, George Washington.
Persons having paper maturing on that day
should remember this and square up on Mon
day.
II think the few misguided gentlemen who
are predicting that the real estate market will
soon 60 to smash will find themselves mis-
TAKEN" remarked Fourth avenue dealer yes
terday afternoon. 'In saying this 1 think 1
know what am talking about. With millions
of money seeking investment, such thing is
impossible. Besides, the buying fever is spread
ing. A short time ago nearly all of this was
done by one or two syndicates Now outsiders
are taking hold. More thar one-half of the re-
cent sales were made to this class of purchas-
ers. Another thing: There can be no collapse
of the real estate market SO long as there are
not enough houses to accommodate the people
who want them. Instead of a depression,
look for strong and active market all sum-
mer."
The following is a list of patents that will
expire April 30 after which they may be ap-
propriated by anyone so disposed; Advertising
device, J. B. Ziegler; fire and burglar alarm,
w. Henckle; cotton press, g. Falkner; count
ing register, A. M. White; milestone driver, w.

machine, A. S. Bunker; dividing plate metal,
Waterman and Perkins.
81 am glad that the efforts of the Armours to
corner pork have fallen fat" remarked Lib
erty street packer yesterday. 'They tried hard
tomake it work. but the supply was too large
and the offerings too liberal for them to over
come, and they gave it up. as a bad job. Big
men in the Chicago pit were badly scared for a
time, but their fears have vanished. and they
regard all danger as over. Pork is pretty steep
yet but it is in such an unsettled condition that
decline is more probable than an advance"
What has befallen the Penny Savings Fund
scheme that was so much talked about two or
three months ago? Has it collapsed or only
been pigeon-holed along with the Real Estate
Exchange, to be acted upon at some future
time? The fund is useful and inexpensive
charity, and the exchange is necessary to ena-
BILE real estate to be properly handled. Both
of these enterprises should be worked up.

Colonel Daniel 8. Lamont who acquired
national fame as President Cleveland's private
secretary, has been elected Secretary of the
New York Land and Improvement Company.
Ex-Secretary Whitney and his brotherin-law,
o. II. Payne (son of Senator Payne, of Ohio),
are directors. A Pittsburg gentleman, who is
acquainted with Colonel Lamont, says he is
one of the shrewdest business men he has ever
encountered.

A SCARCITY OF SUGAR.
The Market Very Active and Higher-Ths
Trust Not to be Blamed

Tne Market Very Active and Higher-The
Trust Not to be Blamed
For some time past the Pittsburg Wholesale
dealers have been lifting their feet to very
altitudinous height against the Sugar Trust
They assert the latter is the cause Of the furry
in sugar and present high prices. A promI-
nent broker in sugars, syrups etc., said to a
DISPATCH reporter that he had maintained all
along that the trust was not at fault, but the
foreign dealers in raw material we're the direct
cause Of the advance. As substantiation Of
his statement the following remarks, emanat-
ing. as they do, from Mr.. E. c. Knight, head of
one Of the largest Eastern sugar firms in the
tinent:
"The raw market has advanced at least
lszc. per pound within the last two months,
while the refined market has only advanced
about NC. Granulated. which is now SIC,
was sold at 7c. 1t will be seen that the refined
raw article. The latter seems to be scarce in
consequence of the short crop in Europe, and
particularly in Cuba. 1t would appear that the
very low prices ruling for two years past cur
tailed production and stimulated consumption.
With the prevalence of low prices. the growers
in Cuba and the West Indies could hardly get
enough out of the business to live comfortably,
and many ceased growing cane. Isuppose that
the nigh price that sugars are now com
manding will, to a degree, check consump-
tion. That will be something of an Offset,
put not TO very great extent. 1t would seem
that the market will continue firm till the
next crop comes in. That from Cuba will not
begin to arrive until next January, and from
Demerara some time in the fall. The beet crop
leannot tell about. For several years at the
close of the season, during November and De-
cember, sugars have always been very scarce,
and presume the same condition will obtain
this year. The raw crop is shorter this season
than for eight or ten years back, and the tend
eDcy in price is upward
Il think speculation has good deal to do
with the advance, as well as scarcity. Parties
who have crops have sold perhaps half of their
stocks, and are holding on to the other half for
higher prices"

THE SHAH OF PERSIA.

He Wanted One of His Retinue Hanged to
Sec How IL Was Done.
An Englishman, who now lives in Pitts
burg, says he sees by the papers that the
Shah of Persia will visit England this sum-
mer. He remembers when this heather
ruler spent the summer once before in Great
Britain. The English haven't any love for
him, but for political reasons are forced to
humor him.
The last time the Shah was in England
he occupied Buckingham Palace. When
he left the place was in such a filthy con-
dition that no one could live in for six
months afterward.
One day the Shah was taken to Newgate
and shown the hangman and the apparatus
for killing condemned criminals. He ex-
pressed strong desire to see man hanged,
but was told they didn't have anybody at
the time to send across the river Styx. The
Shah suggested that they take one of his
retinue, and when they informed him that
they didn't do business that way in En-
gland he got very angry.
