Saturdays Business Makes a Fine Showing
in Clearing House Report.
Saturdays business, as reflected in yester-
days Clearing House report, was up to high
water mark. the exchanges between the banks
footing up S. 300 SS7 % and balances 1885, 5s3 Vs.
Some of this business was due tn checking for
quarterly settlements, but the most of it was
of the regular. legitimate sort, showing that
everything is moving.
There was no particular movement in actual
money yesterday the demand beng moderate
There was no scarcity of funds, ard all appli-
cants for accommodations, whether insiders or
outsiders, who had acceptable collateral to put
up got all they wanted at 6@7 per cent A
dreary day and the reaction from the high
tension of the week made things little slow
in trade circles
1t was close race between Pittsburg and
Baltimore for the Clearing House supremacy,
but Pittsburg Captured 1t, as usual. San Fran
cisco, however, made an extraordinary spurt
and reached the wire a full length ahead. Large
speculative transactions pulled her through.

A VERY HIGH RIVER.

Rumors That 1t Would Reach 20 Feet and
Cause Damage to Mills-Montour Run
Surprises Itself With a Big Overflow
Boat Briefs.
On the river front Yesterday morning there
were high rumors of big river coming. and
some of the mills along the Allegheny and Mo-
nongahela were looking for the water to be so
high as to compel shutdown. However,
these rumors proved unfounded, and the old
river men are looking for the fall 10 begin this
morning. Last night at the Market street
gauge the marks showed IA feet and rising, and
at Davis Island dam there were 13 feet inches
and rising. There was a rise of about three
feet yesterday. Many expected that the river
would reach 20 feet. but last night it was de-
cided that 16 feet would be the limit The
extra water stopped the up-riyer boats. but did
not greatly affect the down-river trade. Very
little coal is coming down at present.
MOntour run was on high rampage yester-
day morning. Ordinarily a stream 25 to 80 feet
wide it was nearly half as broad as the ALE
gheny in places with 2Gmile-an-hour current.
Great care was exercised by the officials of the
limited on the Montour Run Railway, and
though several bridges were strained the train
came through all right.

A LITTLE BETTER.

Local Stocks Firmer and Trading of Good

The better feeling in stocks noted at the close
on Saturday made further progress yesterday,
when the majority of the things usually traded
in either improved their standing or showed
disposition of that kind. Electric and Pleasant
Valley being about the only exceptions. Busi-

1t begins to look as if those who have been
holding back for lower values will have to come
in on the present level or abandon the quest
altogether. The tendency is undoubtedly up

may stay is hidden even from the insiders

NEW YORK, October l3.-The heavy loss in
cash and surplus reserve of the New York
banks during last week, as indicated by the
statement of Saturday, was still d most inter-
esting subject of conversation on the street to-
day. and while the system of reporting only
averages for the week, instead of the actual
condition at any one time is misleading, the
known movements of money through the sub
Treasury and directly out Of the banks to the
South and West do not account for the loss re-
ferred to; and again, the accusation Is made
that large sum has been locked up
for speculative purposes. However this may
be. the banks in years past have always reached
their lowest point about this time, and with
natural movement of money should gain from
this time ont. The advocates Of higher prices

SCARCITY OF AVAILABLE SITES.
The Advance Of the Municipal Lines Within
Period of 40 Years.
EVOLUTION OF THE BIG UNION DEPOT

Where there is smoke there must be fire,
and as there is great deal of talk about
new hotel there must be some basis for it. A
good deal of it, no doubt, has grown out of
the project described in The DISPATCH a
short time ago, and which is progressing
finely, but there are other schemes of the
same purport which have not reached so ad-
vanced a stage. One of these. however. is
worthy of notice, as it contains su fficient fact
to lift it into the realm of probability.
1t was learned yesterday that negotiations
are on foot to purchase the old Perry Hotel
property, corner Eighth street and Duquesne
Heron & Sons with the transaction, they
were applied to for particulars, and admitted
that an option had been given out for lew
weeks to a Chicago man, with Pittsburg back-
ing. at So, 600 and that If sold the purchaser
would rebuild or make extensive Improvements
at once. The lot is 100 feet on Duquesne way
by 20 on Eighth street to Mattock's alley, and
as much of adjoining ground as may be needed
can be purchased at market rates. The loca-
ton is all that could be desired for hotei,
beng at once central and retired.
Several gentlemen who have looked over the
ground said yesterday that it will be no easy
the Schenley holding, but Colonel Heron, the
agent, who was also seen, could not say Wnat
part of it will be for sale, il any, as it VIII take
him some time to classify and arrange the
property, and then get Mrs. Schenley's ideas
about it.

COMING STYLES IN GOWNS.

The question is not yet settled beyond
a peradventure as to what the prevailing
styles in gowns will be. There are rumors
that a little more boufancy will be given
to the skirts of summer gowns, and some
of the latest importations show the hip
paniers of a decade ago.
Sleeves will be more moderate in their
proportions and palmer in their outlines,
a modified, reduced gigot being most
favored.
It is rumored also that side forms in
the back will run to the shoulder instead
of the arm scie and in line Of darts, there
will be one seam in front also running to
the shoulder. Bodice seams will be
corded again on GGt.
Ruf1es will appear in various widths,
sometimes arranged in groups up the
front.
Mauve and Amethyst shades are ex-
ceedingly fashionable, both in tulle and
light textures. Black is always fashion
able, and many gowns have a colored
front, which is edged with flowers or a
ruche of the color, and the color is re-
peated as trimmings for the neck and
Sleeves-a fashion which has much to
recommend it, since the dress is con
pletely altered by the substitution Of a
different color.-M0rch Ladies' Home

A TINY

A wonderful railroad is the one which
connects the towns of Bedford and Belle
vue, Mass. tits nine miles in length, and
is probably as unique as any on the globe.
The distance is not so astonishing, except
when the gauge of ten inches is consid-
cred. In the short distance traversed by
the pigmy it crosses eleven streams, with
bridges from five to th%irty-fve feet in
height. The rails weigh but twenty
pounds to the yard, about the size of
those used ia the mines of Missouri and
Illinois. The cars and engines are con-
structed so as to be very near the ground,
ensuring greater safety. The cars are
provided with single seats on each side
of the aisle. The car itself weighs but
four tons, the weight of an ordinary car
being twenty to twenty-six tons. The
engine, without the tender, weighs seven
tons, and runs with two passenger or
freight cars at the rate of twenty miles
an hour. There is a smaller railroad than
this in the United States-the one in
Bucks county, Pa, but it is only kept as
an expensive toy by a rich farmer, who
has made a fortune out of oil.-ABany
