haven't heard that Mrs Harrison, In con-
nection with the other financial schemes IN
which her name figures, has taken any STOCK IN
friendship rings. but great many people are
investing capital to the amount OF one penny
in q gold band that will encircle some one eises
finger and is dignifed by the name OF frleno-
ship ring. They resemble slightly the financial
rings that engage the attention of the stsrner
sex. inasmuch as there is never any dividend
on the investment paid, but they differ in the
fact that such is thoroughly understood by the
stockholders before they become such.
They are pretty little swindles, IL such they
may be called, and are occupying the attention
OF society in a marked degree just at present.
the soliciting for their purchase varying the
usual pastimes of riding. reading, bathing,
sleeping and-whisper it gently-firting, that
make the summer season such a delight to the
purely ornamental portion of humanity. The
name surely is not a misnomer, for they must
be q test to friendship when subscriptions for
their purchase are solicited by any other than
q little tot in whom a request for penny is
natural and to be expected, and if the friend
ship weathers the test, it is but proper that the
rings in name should testify to that fact. One
jeweler, alone, in this city, last week, took In
1000 pennies for which he gave in exchange 20
exquisite little rings to 20 equally exquisite
maidens.
One petite miss seen yesterday was 1lngllng

by a little companion. ioyfully made her way to

questioned about her NOISY wealth she laugh
tngly replied: pennies, just pennies for a

and have only had one day collecting for IT,"
And as the coppers were turned out on the
counter a tray laden with any number of
pretty little conceits in rings made its appear
ance, all the same price, 81. But that ring was
selected with as much care and consideration
as il it were valued at one hundred times the
amount paid for it. and fitted to the little finger
of the tiny hand with exacting precision, as of
course it wouldn't be proper to wear 1t upon
any other finger, nor is it the thing to wear a
guard with friendship ring. As the little
purchaser departed, happy in her possession,
the question arose where did she find 100 friends
or even acquaintances, in this forlorn, forsaken
city. THORN BRANCH.

SOME VERY PLAIN FACTS.

For many reasons it was a notable inter-
view that the writer had with Mr.. Joseph
Marsh, residing at 3O3 Renfrew street. In
the first place Mr.. Marsh is well known and
very popular among the citizens of the East
End, and his story will be OF great interest
to. them, as we'll as to the general public.
The interview is notable in the second place
for the remarkable experience it describes.
During a recent interview with the writer,
Mr.. Marsh said:
Eight years ago contracted the whoop-
ing cough. Although to all appearances
got rid it, the bad effects were still left in
my system, and for many years have not
known what it was to enjoy q really well
day. That may sound strange, but it is the
case.
AT first it was not very bad. Cold fol-
lowed cold. however, and soon I found the
slight trouble had grown to a serious mat
ter. My head and nose were constantly
stopped up. I had dull, heavy pain in
my forehead directly over my eye There
were roaring and buzzIng noises in my ears

Movements in Real Estate,

The sale by w. A. Heron & Sons, reported
In this column yesterday, of Penn avenue res
idence, Twenty-second ward, was that of Mrs
D. A. Stewart, corner Homewood avenue. and
the purchaser was Mr.. c. A. Rook The price
was about s4OoOa The property is considered
one Of the finest in the East End, the house
being large, commodious and we'll improved,
besides stable, carriage house, mans house,
fruit, shade and ornamental trees, shrubbery,
etc.
A prominent real estate investor complained
yesterday of discrimination in the matter of
taxes in favor of business houses as against
dwellings. For instance the water tax on q
business property on Wood street, which brings
in s.. 500 or $1,000 year, is about $50. On resi-
dence property producing an equal income it is
sl50 Other taxes also favor business property.
This. he added, prevents a great many from
building.
Ground will be broken this week on Beatty
street, between Stanton avenue and Hay street,
for 26 handsome dwellings. Thirteen nave
just been completed In the same neighoorhood.
The owner is a lady who desires that her name

THE WEEK IN OIL.
The Record for Dizziness Broken-Two Days
without n Transac cfion.

Without n Transaction.
The OIL market yesterday was a repetition Of
that of the previous day. 1t opened and closed
without transaction. This is believed to be
the death knell of the system of trading in fut-
ures. Pittsburg SPECTATORS do not take kindly
to wind. They want something tangible to
show for their money. Whether the revival of
cash dealing will prove an attraction to them
is doubtful. They seem to have lost all inter-
est in oil. The future of the market depends
altogether upon the success or failure that may
attend the issuing of Lima certificates. If out
sders bite, business will revive; if not the
Standard will have all the fun to itself, which
will be something. as it will be relieved of the
bulk of the burden of paying for its own car
rying.
The standing bid yesterday was 1885,. Once as
hige as S95a was offered, but the longs resisted
the temptation. They realized that they have
the shorts in a hole. and seem determined to
keep them there. Clearances for the week
were l2S, 900 barrels-the smallest IN the history
of the Exchange. Clearances the previous
week were 367 600.

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

There was an active trade movement last
week, sales of seasonable commodities being
large and prices well sustained. Large or
ders for specialties were reported. Mer-
chants and manufacturers were encouraged
over the prospect of heavy fall business.
The strong features Of the situation are that
there is no symptom of overproduction, that
collections were never more easily and
promptly made, and that bankers report an
abundance of money.
The railroads are crowded with freight.
Coastwise tonnage is, perhaps, heavier than
ever before. The earnings and the savings
OF big and little capitalists are being turned
into all sorts Of commercial and manufacturing
enterprises. Labor is in demand. Prosperity
seems to have come to stay.

Renl Estate Values.

A well-known gentleman who is interested in
the purchase and sale of real estate. and who
has lately made large investments in the Twen-
ty-second ward, yesterday gave his views on
values substantially in the language following:
''The inquiry is often heard: Is real estate in
our city selling for more than it is intrinslcally
worth? answer by saying that the price OF
land is regulated by demand, the same as any
other commodity. The more numerous the
buyers the higher the prices. Causes for the
demand should also be taken into considera-
ton. If the cause Of demand IS based on the
profit accruing or to accrue, or on profitable
and advantageous use, then the price is not too
high. Values fixed upon any other basis are
speculative. Anyone who ventures to pur-
chase real estate or anything else without
knowing where he is going to sell 1t or what
use it is to be put to. assumes more or less risk
An element of stability in the home market is
the fact that nearly all the purchases are for
purpose-to establish homes or business. No
risks are run. Consequently prices are on
reasonable basis. They are only keeping pace
with demand for improvement"
To this it may be added that the use and
profit of real estate are somewhat determined
by the purposes to which adjoining land may
be applied.
