OFFICE OF PrrrsBURG DISPATCH,
MONDAY. Aug. 81.
COUNTRY PRODUCED (Jobbing prices)-
Receipts of bananas were probably the
largest for any one dav in the history of
the trade. There were 30 carloads dunn ped
onto our markets this morning, and prices
at once dropped This number would be
large for an entire weeks receipts. With
the heavy supply of peaches and other
fruits bananas will no doubt have hard roads
to travel this week. The stock of peaches
was well cleaned mp Saturday and commits
sion houses are firmer in their views to-day.
However, there is no question that receipts
will be more than enough to meet all de-
malfds during the balance of the week.
Creamery butter can hardly fail to rise in
the next few days, as markets here are bare
of good stock. Eggs are relatively lower in
this market than at Eastern and Western
centers of trade, and all signs point to an
early advance.

The Wonderful Recovery of Little Ada
Gibbs, of Sewickley.
Little Ada Gibbs, the Sewickley girl who
was bitten by copper head on August 90
will recover. DR.. Jennings who attended
her cut away the flesh from the wound and
used poultices of hot mush and flaxseed
meal She was also given whisky and car
Donate of ammonia internally, together with
hvpodermic injections of carbolic acid and
fluid extract of jombarondi
The cure is considered remarkable one
from the fact that the snakes fangs pene-
trated an artery. The girl, however, is
ever in a few days. The country in that To-
cality is infested with copper heads. Eight
have been killed there within the past week.

MONETARY MOVEMENTS.
Bank Statement for the Month Below 1890,
but Better Than 1889.

Bank Statement for the Month Below 1890,
but Better Than 1889.
Bankers were rather conservative in their
dealings yesterday, giving the impression
that money was scarce. This was the case
with few of the banks, but the majority
had enough to meet all cases and to spare.
The increased demand is straw showin ng
that general trade is getting on its feet
Money will soon be returned from the West
and gold from Europe, and this will remove
all danger of stringent market. The
trifliug congestion is merely temporary.
The Clearing House statement for the
month shows decrease of over $1l ,0O0, 600
as compared with last year, but gain of
$292, 1856 81 over 1889, with which comparison
should be made, as 1890 should be charged
with most of the trouble which has handi-
capped 1891. ..
All things considered the statement is
gratifying. 1t is much betterthan expected.
The month witnessed material revival of
activity in all lines, which will gather fresh
force during September.

The statement of averages of the New
York associated banks for the week ending
Saturday was more favorable than had been
+ anticipated. Itwould seem that the receipts
of money from nearby interior points had
considerable effect in offsetting the drain of
funds in the West. 1t must not be forgotten
that the existence of a bull market in Wall
street tends to bring money this way from
the smaller eastern cities.
As q consequence of this. although the
banks lost s.. .8Ss 100 in specie for the week,
they gained s., 1,669,O00 in legal tenders, and
their total loss in cash holdings was only
81, ,2l9OO0. This shows that there Is plenty of
available money in the country.

How We Get the Worst
oft.

How We Get the Worst
Jerome Sabin relates an incident
which illustrates the method OF some
commission men. A farmer named
Wilkinson, living near Edgerly, cut
a fleece IN two and sent one half 10 a
Chicago commission house, asking
what they would give for his clip.
The reply came back IS cents. Mr..
Wilkinson thought this too little and
acting on happy thought sent the
other half of the fleece to his brother
in Wisconsin and requesting him to
forward it as a sample to the same
Chicago commission house and ask
what the wool was worth. The re-
ply came just as promptly as in the
former case, but this time the price
was fixed at 20 cents. This is a
plain discrimination of 7 cents per
pound against Dakota wool. Wis
consin wool is quoted as such on the
market and there is certain definite
value to it whicth the commission
man knows he must pay to secure it.
1t is different with our wool. It is
classed as "territorial' with nncer-
tam and varying quotations. There
is no good reason why Dakota wool
should only bring 13 cents, when the
same wool shipped from Wisconsin
would readily sell for 90 cents, yet
this condition of affairs is likely to
exist until our wool is quoted in the
wool markets as "Dakota WOOL

The London Times, referring to
the fact that eighty delegates from
the tin plate working district of
Wales are going to'the United States
in order to inquire into the prospects
of profitable employment there, and
to the statement made that American
agents in London are buying the
latest improvements in tin plate ma
chimes, as we'll as offering double
wages to tin plate workers, says:
'sShould the deleg ates report fav-
orably upon the prospects for tin
plate workers in the United States
it is not unlikely that there will be
so large an exodus to America as to
lead to great portion of the trade
hitherto monopolized by Wales be-
ing transferred to America. Hither-
to the idea has been that it is i'm
possible to manufacture tin plates in
America, owing to atmosphere con-
ditions, but tin plate makers who ac-
companied thh Iron and Steel Instl-
tute delegates to America reported
that there was nothing except the
want of skilled labor to prevent the
successful manufacture Of tin plate
in America.
This is only one more instance
where in the Mckinley bill is help
ing out the American laborer. BY
the next campaign this much dread
ed measure will be very popular.

A, Great Cyclopedia.

We cordially commend to the at

ment of the Columbian Cyclopedia
which appears in very striking form
elsewhere. 1t is thoroughly excel
lent work, remarkable cheap, and up
on the easy installment terms offered
it is within the reach of almost any,
one.
The Columbian has heretofore
been known as Aliens Manifold
Cyclopedia, being the same work in
slightly different form, the former be-
ing in 32 volumes of about 500 pa
.ges each, the latter in 40 volumes of
about $40 pages each.
Our readers who would like to ex-
anime the work in our office are in
vited to do so, and may, if they
please, forward their orders through
us; combinding orders for several
sets will save each one something in
cost of transportation.

A Topeka, Kansas, special says:
About fifteen prominent peoples
party leaders, in session here, after
discussing the proposition made by
the democratic state central commit
tee recently, to fuse with them in the
local county elections in Kansas this
year and to unite on the electoral
ticket in opposition to the republi-
cans next year, declined to fuse, and
statement declaring against such
action was ordered published in the
Alliance Advocate the official state
organ.
Tee Kansas alliance seem to be
composed of men fully capable Of
running their own business and do
not propose to-: be hoodwinked by
any democratic buncombe. The
alliance will gain more members by
straight open and above board
campaign than they would by join
ing in with either the democrats OF
republicans, and the Kansas alliance
is setting good example.
