A CONTINUED STORY.
The Current Chapter Of Which is Like Unto
the First,

Almost q dead calm prevailed at the.irst
stock call yesterday, but the second was a little
more breezy, there being considerable fun and
some business. Brokers seem determined to
die easy, II die they must. Sales were 100
shares.
The result of the meeting Of the Bridgewater
Company seemed to be disappointing TO some
body, for the stock was bid down TO Sc in the
afternoon. Electric and Philadelphia Gas
were shaded . little. but the fractions held their
own, II not more. The rest Of the List was feat.

was some talk of 5H, but very little, IL any,

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

The annual meeting of directors of the
Dollar Savings Bank was held in the bank
building yesterday evening, and the seven
tieth semi-annual report presented. It
shows that the institution was never in
a more prosperous condition or had firmer
hold upon the confidence of the public.
A comparison of the report presented
yesterday with that of December last dis
closes several points worthy of particular
notice. The assets have increased $780,
50 81, the amount OF deposits almost as
much, and there are 200 more depositors.
The number of depositors is SO, 325, averag-
ing $4OS SO each. These facts carry their
own comment. The growth of this institution
is on line with that of the city.
1t is not difficult to draw an optomistic con-
clusion from such presentment. 1t shows
that more people are saving and that deposits
are larger. This in turn. establishes the claim
that PIttsburg is enjoying a period Of great
prosperity; for il the working people were not
steadily employed at good wages they would
have nothing to lay by.

1t is stated that the dividend on Chicago Gas

entirely settled as to detail, but 1t is far enough
advanced. according to report, to warrant the

d Real estate brokers visited yesterday were as
busy as ever, showing that the market is active.
The only material difference between June and
April is that deals are harder to close Eow
owing to the absence from the city of many of

One Of the most experienced stock brokers
in the city yesterday gave his opinion of the
market, its condition and outlook. He said:
~ do not expect an immediate improvement
for several reasons. A good many investors
will soon 60 away on their summer vacations,
and they will not assume financial responsible
ties to worry them during their absence.
tried to sell man a block of Philadelphia Gas
yesterday. He would hardly talk to me. To
encourage me little he said he would see me
when he got back from the country. Another
reason Is, many of our spectators are carrying
pretty heavy loads at much higher prices than
are now quoted. They would like to sell, but
hold on rather than let go at a sacrifice. These
men are practically out Of the market. Rail-
road strikes and the silver question are dis
turbing influences. The latter is SO closely
identified with speculation that permanent
revival of interest is almost impossible until
it Is settled.
"But in the face of these discouragements
there is a quiet movement which amounts to
considerable in the aggregate. No matter how
unpropitious the times, there is always some
one around in quest of cheap stuff. had an
inquiry to-day for Castle Shannon, stock that
is seldom heard of. A man wanted big lot of
it at SIS. told him the last sale of it. SO far as
I remembered, about year ago, was at S.
That made no difference to him: he wanted it
cheap or not at all. 1t IS the same with the
natural gassers. the fractions and other securi-
ties. They can be marketed at any time at

money, have too much confidence in their out
come to part with these at a loss.
Il look upon Pittsburg securities as among
the best in the country. They represent some
of the most important interests of the city.
Permanent depression is impossible. The July
settlements will set free large amount of
money, some of which will be invested in
stocks. This will keep them on their feet until
fall, when we may rely upon the usual whirl to
even things up and start new deal Ono
thing is certain: With business and prices
scraping bottom. there is little danger of any
thing worse. and the chances are that any
change will be for the better"

INTERESTING CULLINGS.


Vice Admiral Jaureguiberry, who

titled women in the neighborheod
usually went on board to let the vice

show them what a flagship was like.
Some time ago, while the Richelieu

progress several weeks the minister of
the navy turned up in Nice for his
summer vacation. He disapproved of
the vice admiral's almost exclusive
devotion to the pretty women of the
city. He told the vice admiral so sew

the vice admiral was too polite to pass
along to his fair admirers the minis

ducks and brakes with the discipline
of the Mediterranean squadron. The
afternoon receptions on the Richelieu
continued with undated popularity.
The minister of the navy became
very inpatient Eventually he de-
termined to cure the women of their
fondness for visiting the vice admiral,
as he could not cure him of his fond
ness for receiving them.
One afternoon while an Italian
countess and her two friends were
drinking coffee on the Richeieu, the
vice admiral was Unexpectedly order

shore at the minister's instance, to
weigh anchor at once and without
any previous communication with the

With all his gallantry, however, the
admiral was q thoroughbred sailor.
He did not dare disobey his explicit
orders. The Richelieu sailed almost
