this sudden drain upon those banks, CON-

"For fifteen years was a constant sufferer
from asthma without any relief. except that OBJ
tanned by constant change of locality. Two years
ago I tried MooREs REVEALED REMEDY, and
the benefits received from it were the most graft

vented the terrible distress peculiar to the disease
that made life almost uabearabie. Amy one who

PITTsBURG TRACTION
MORE TO THE FRONT.

The Former on the Declaration OF 1ood
Dividend, and the Latter on Consohda-
ton With the Duquesne-Improvem
All Along the Line.
The local stock market yesterday was 1uH
of good features. Not only was trading com
paratively active, but the range was ",oer
than for some time and most of the leadlng
stocks stronger
The announcement of a per cent dlvi-
dend by the Airbrake company was suil If
Gent to send the stock up point an1 c1osed a at
951a, with 100 asked. A sale was repor'eo
after call at 96JI.
Pittsburg Traction also experienced little
boom, advancing from 321a at the opening NO 10
SO at the close, with none in the market: Inc
improvement was due to the sem1-omcal
nature of the report that consolidation WlGn
the Duquesne had been effected, ana sIa1
the two systems would soon operate unoer
one management. There is no longer =
doubt that some agreement has been entere9
into by these corporations. Duquesne stock
advanced to 151@ bid, without bringing any
of it out Any amount of Birmingham couio
have been marketed at 20. Second Avenue
improved half point.
A broker with exceptionally good SOURCES
of information said: "There is something
going on in Manchester Traction. l have II
from the best authority. just what tne
movement is has not been divulged, but IL
probably involves the purchase OF the re-
mainder of the minority stock"
Electric was dull but steady. Mr.. west
inghouse's announcement that the meeting
called for Tuesday next would be adjourned
for two weeks to give more time for the sur
render of stock, although not unexpected,
was a bear card. Mr.. Westinghouse broke
the force of the announcement somewhat Dy
stating that almost 100000 shares had been
turned in, and that the two weeks more
time asked would be sufficient to secure the
80 per cent required.
There was no essential change in the
Nf or Ho
Manufacturers was bid up big fraction.
Hidalgo mining was stronger and Luster
steady. Underground cable was a shaoe
weaker.

furnace owners are pushing production and

the output is moving freely, about 20

stated by the railroads here. The new rate
is l2c per 100 pounds to Cairo; 2lc to chicago;
15c to st. Louis; 34c to all Missouri river

The coal trade is sustained by the
enormous consumption of coke, which con-
tinues larger than at any period IN the
history of the district Many of the smaller
mines have added coke oven plants, and this
continues. On July the contracts between
the miners and the large operators are TO be
renewed. There is nothing on the surface
now to indicate that any differences viii
arise, though the miners meet here In State
convention on June "a to consider the mat
ter, and the outcome will be watched with a
good deal of solicitude.

MORE GOLD SHIPMENTS.
WALL STREET SURPRISED, BUT BEAR
THE NEWS WELL.

Stocks Hammered Down by Spurts, Each
Attack Being Followed by Intense Dull
ness-An Improvement Toward the
CIose-silver High - Bonds Are More
Active.
NEW YORK. June 19.-For several days there
has been persistent reiteration of rumors
that gold was likely to go out this week, and
to these assertions the tendency in exchange
gave some probability; but the reduction in
the Bank of England rate, and the generally
better feeling and conditions on the other
side, were felt to be against such a move
ment, and while there was the usual hesi-
fancy about buying, no new ventures were
started.
Today, however, the street was treated to
the surprise of the taking of over g, 2,300,0 600
for export by tomorrow's steamers, and
made, as was to be expected, the opportun-
ity for bear attack upon the leading specu-
lative stocks, but there was no long stock
brought upon the market; and, while the
lack of support rendered the marking off of
prices a comparatively easy matter, the
movement was Spasmodic and the most in
tense dullness marked the trading safter
each drive. The movement is felt to be only
the remains of the one gone before, and,
while the possibility, and even probability,
of further exports from time to time are
acknowledged, no apprehension as to the
state of the money market is now felt from
the consequences of such movement while
the favorable conditions, both at home and
abroad, are continually kept in mind, and
the usual conservatism is shown on the part
of holders.
The strength in Silver was also to-day an
influential factor in sustaining prices, the
revival of speculative interest in the metal
taking some of the edge off the loss of the
gold. The stock market, however was even
narrower than usual of late and outside of
the half dozen stocks which now monopolize
attention, the movements during the day

leaders, however, losses of from n to " per

The Philadelphia Market Remains in Pretty
Much the Same Condition.
tsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
I PHILADELPHIA, June 19.-With the excep-
tion of slight irregularity in several lines
of the iron trade, the market continues in
much the same condition reported a week
ago. The most irregularity exists in the pig
iron market, and it is probably due to the
increased output. Few new orders have
been placed for steel rails, but mills are
running on full time on orders received
some weeks back, and which aggregate
q neat round total. The general outlook
continues favorable and $50 is the bottom
price for all rails The demand for struct-
ural material continues to improve, and
mills are quite busy filling old orders and
many new small ones which are constantly
being placed. There is no line of the trade
in which the outlook is more favorable, as
there is quite good deal of new business
developing. Wequote (delivered): Angles,
2O5G2. .lOc; sheared plates, 2@2 l0c: tees, 2.5@
26c; beams and channels, Sic for either iron
or steel,
Boiler plates are in good demand, and mills
have about all the work they can handle
during the summer months. Some new busi-
ness has been contracted for, but it was
generally for small lots. Prices are un-
changed, but are somewhat firmer than q
week ago, and have tendency to advance.
We quote for lots delivered: Tank plates, "a
2.l0c for iron 205@2 20c for steel; refined, 2.20
62.40c for iron, 240@2 SOC for steel; f1ange,
3.20@3.30c for iron, 250@2.75c for steel.
There is no regular demand for old rails
and prices are liable to change with every
transaction. These prices are entirely NOM
inal-S2l 00@2 80 at furnace or $22 00@22 so
at interior points for iron, and Sl7 00@1S 90
for steel. The same condition may be said
TO prevail in the scrap-iron market. There
is little doing and not much business in
sight. We quote No. l railroad scrap at
for delivery at mills in interior; No. 2 light,
sl5 00@l6 90; best machinery scrap, S4 00@
Is 90: ordinary do. sl3 0O@l4 90; old car wheels,
Sl6 OO@l7 90.
