DOMESTIC MARKETS.
The Upward Movement of Creamery
Butter is Arrested.
CHOICE CHEESE STILL ADVANCING.
Great Activity in Groceries, and Syrups
Are on the Rise.
CEREAL MARKETS NOT SO STRONG
OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH,
TUESDAY. September 2. 1890. !
Country Produce-IohhInR Prices


Last weeks prices of creamery butter were
reafirmed by the powers that be on Monday
afternoon. The upward movement of butter
has been arrested. Oleo has come to the front
since the recent advance. and as result the
genuine stuff has slightly weakened. Cheese
is still on the advance, and our prices are
raised. in accordance with facts based on actual
sales. Tomatoes have suddenly taken an up
ward turn on account of the cool weather.
which prevents their ripening, and prices are
double what they were week ago. Potatoes
are steady at quotations. Melons are slow.
Supply of sweet potatoes is above demand and
markets give signs of weakness. Demand for
grapes Is fully up to supply, and prices are
firm. Western peaches are in fair supply at 81
to 81 25 a peck basket. General produce trade
has improved since the month opened.

RIVER INTELLIGENCE.

Something About the Distractions In the
Rivers and Their Removal.
]. M. Wilson, of the Monongahela and Ohio
River Navigation Company, talked on the
question of river distractions yesterday. He
said: Il hear a great many rivermen kicking
about the low bridges between the Point and
Herr's Island. and something should be done
to remedy it. 1t blocks traffic on this river,
and If the bridge companies were compelled to
do something it would be matter of untold
thousands to the city of Pittsburg, If the
bridges were raised to permit navigation"
Business was quiet about the wharf yester-
day. The water fell during the day. At SA.
M. 1t was down to 8 feet, but rose as the
wickets were raised. During the day and at
P. M. 1t marked 3.5. and rising slowly.

SPECULATIVE MANIA.
Short Cuts to Fortune Are BeSet
With Many Obstacles.
HONEST, PATIENT INDUSTRY BEST.
Some Signs of Pittsburg's Great Pros
perity at Present.
TRADE DOES NOT NOW NEED PUSHING
OFFICE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH.
TUESDAY, September Q 1890

TUESDAY. September 2, 1890. !
The current number of the Youths CON-
panion has timely editorial showing forth
the dangers of young America from these
three sources: The cup, speculation and
indorsing others notes.
Under the head of speculation there are
some timely words which would be of in
calcuable benefit to Young Americans who
would take heed. Said successful pro-
fessional gentleman OF large experience and
great success in his particular calling: Il
would have been worth more than double
what 1 am if I had entirely avoided
outside schemes for making money. A
number of times in my life when
/ had a little money ahead, gathered
from hard work in my regular calling, some
one came along with great mining project or
some new invention which was to revolutionize
society, and / took the bait and permanently
invested my hard earnings. There has been
scarcely an instance where any of these outside
schemes panned out. Our people are no longer
satisfied with the old-time methods of gaining
q competency OF fortune, namely, by patient,
plodding industry. All are anxious to take a
short cut to fortune.
Motto for Business Men.
''The few who succeed in speculation are ad-
vertised far and wide, but the many who
fail in these speculative schemes are
little known. The prOverb, Let the shoe
maker stick to his last is one particularly
applicable to our times and people. For one
man that succeeds in speculation a dozen fail
The sure winning card in business is the mas
terry of some trade or profession and then the
grace of sticktoativeness. All schemes which
promise sudden and vast wealth should be met
with: Get thee behind me, Satan" Their
name is legion who have gone down into the
whirlpool Of bankruptcy because they stepped
aside from the business or trade which they
understood to dabble in outside things. The
short cuts to fortune are beset with obstacles
which the inexperienced young man little
dreams Of A young man of good habits and a
trade or profession which he has mastered is
better equipped for business success than il he
inherited millions. And wise is he who sticks
TO the calling for which nature and training
have fitted him.
Signs of ProsperIty.
An evidence of Pittsburg's prosperity is seen
in the fact that jobbers in most departments Of
trado report that there is no longer a necessity
come to us than it has been at any time since
the war. Wholesale grocers particularly have
no need this season to push trade. Business OF
late, has been rather better than they like.
With prices generally drifting upward, the
goods generally prove more valuable than
money. The jObber finds it impossible to re-
place stock at prices 1or which he is selling
stock. In the lines of syrups, canned and dried
fruits and rice, 1t has been difficult of late to
keep up with the upward movement and hence
the goods have been more valuable than money.

injurious statements concerning Albu.
querque and the territory generally. Why,
Governor, bless your innocent soul. while
We have good deal of respect for your
patriotism, intelligence and general good
character as a citizen, we are neverthe-
less astonlshed at the question. 1t strikes
us that you know the black mailing outfi

despicable character Of the man who runs
it. Why, dear sir, it is the nature of
that beast to bite the hand that feeds it !;
a decent dog won't do so, but that black
mailing outfit will, and does it every time.
AS We have remarked before, dear and
respected sir, it will be good thing for
Albuquerque to get rid Of the Matchmaking

spirited paper in your live. prosperous
and energetic city, the Daily Citizen
support it literally and get rid OF the
other, and you will be the gamer.
