some dealers always. They want to
sell tho medicine that pays them the
largest profit. What you want to
buy is the one that does YOU the
most good.
Which one is it?
Sometimes, it may be a matter
of doubt. But, in the case of
DR.. Pierco's Favorite Prescription,
there's no room for doubt. It's q
matter that can be proved.
With the facts before Won. it's
an insult to your intelligence to
have something else offered as
"just as good"
And here's the proof Among
all the medicines that claim to cure
woman's peculiar weaknesses, irrep-
ularitics, and diseases, the "Favor-
lite Prescription" is the only ono
that's guaranteed.
If it doesn't do all that's claimed
for it, if it doesn't give satisfaction
in every case, you'll have your
money back.
There's strength and vigor for
every tired and feeble woman
health and new life for every
delicate and ailing woman and #
thero's no help, there's no pay.

The wells in the Mcdonald field were
with few exceptions shut down yesterday.
The operators, contractors, drillers and
tool dressers were at home enjoying their
New Year dinners in the bosom of their
families. The estimated produc.
tion of the field dropped yester-
day from $4,000 to 1880 barrels.
This is an extremely pleasant announce
ment to hundreds of producers who are
looking for break in the production and
an advance in the market. Guckert & Steele
shot their No. 8 on Mevey farm yesterday,
and it increased to 80 barrels an hour. The

The Usual New Years Halt in Business
Trade Notes.
Yesterday was q close holiday. All the
important business establishments were
closed, and the usual clatter of street traffic
sank to faint echo. The day was largely
devoted to rest ana retrospection. Many
plans were laid, some of which will mature
durin, -he year; others will gang aglee. To-
day all the activities will be in full blast
Every citizen should exert himself to give
the year good sendof.
All the financial institutions of the city
will be open today.
Last year was good one for the street
railways. The windup left them pretty
firmly on their feet
Judging from the number of building
schemes on the carpet, this year will be
great one in that line.
Pittsburg bank dividends are being an
nounced with the usual regularity. There
are no sounder financial institutions in the
country.
Business of the Westinghouse Airbrake
Company for December was nearly 5000 900
Some financiers think money Ia tes will be
shaded after the settlement period. Banks
are stronger than for years at this season.
There is talk of building six-story fiat on
Stockton avenue, Allegheny. The exact To-
cation could not be learned.
Several prominent real estate firms will
move into new quarters about April /.
The election for officers of the Exchange
will take place to-day. The principal con-
test will be between Robert j. Stoney, Jr.,
and John 3. Barbour, Jr., for Treasurer.
Both have strong backing.
1t is probable the last of the Allegheny
cotton mills will soon be dismantled and the
machinery taken South where cotton grows.
A new subdivision adjoining Knoxville
will be put in the market in the spring.
With all the building, houses are scarce in
that borough.
Francis F. Walker has sold to Joseph F.
Ploger two houses and lots in the Twenty

CHECKER ITEMS OF INTEREST.

very interestin" contest is now raging
at the Home Hotel, between two very intel
ligent gentlemen, who have lately become
enamoured with "Fair Dameth.'' Quite q
little feeling hts been worked up between
the learned professor and his rival, Mr..
Foster, one of the leading financiers of the
city. Mr.. Collier, who is in the city spend
ing the holidays, has always taken great
interest in the anne by being q very stu
dious onlooker, but never played until lately,
and Mr.. Foster, his opponent, was much the
same, but, by some way or other. the powers
that be got these two started to play.
They are SO evenly matched that when
they now sit down to play the interest of
the whole house is conferred on the contest
between the Masters of Mathematics and
Finance. So far Finance is in the lead.
In the discussion as to the oldest checker
club in Great Britain, brought out by u gen.
tleman Offering fine portrait of the WORLDS
champion to the Oldest club, three clubs
the South Shields was the oldest in competi-
ton. Now, that the gift has been awarded,
it appears that though the South Shields
Club gets the prize, they cannot hold the
honor, not even of second place. Falkirk
Club goes back to 1875, and Cuper Club, by
its books, goes back to 1876, and how much
ahead of that time cannot be ascertained.
Time will show, but we cannot see how the
South Shields Club can now accept the gift
The secretaries claim they did not see the
notice, or they would have applied. We
think such statement very trivial, and
shows what little interest they take in the
news of the leading columns.

evidence of what the coal men can do when
things go as they ought to, the June ship
ments of the present year were the largest
on record, reaching in the aggregate q, $685.
900 bushels.
The river coal trade of Pittsburg ought to
and should exceed 100, 100000 bushels an
nually, provided, of course, there are no
strikes or other drawbacks. This would
amount in wages alone to S4, 200,000 This
is a nice sum to be distributed among the
thousands of workmen located along the
Monongahela and Youghiogheny valleys.
This amount of coal does not include the
railroad coal trade, which aggregates many
millions, neither does it include the large
amounts consumed by the mills and glass
factories located at so many points. The
disuse of natural gas in large plants has IN
creased the demand for coal 70 wonderful
extent. New coal companies are starting
up at various points, and thousands OF acres
of coal lands are being disposed of. Unless
something unexpected should occur, or
strikes again intervene, 1892 may be set
down as a big ''coal rum
Up to this time the heaviest river ship
ment was in 1888, when 100000, coo bushels
left Pittsburg by water for the lower ports
The following year, being one of strikes,
the shipments fell off 40, 945, 600 bushels
Railroad miners, notwithstanding the fact
that they had signed & contract TO continue
for wear from May to mine coal for ~
cents per ton, decided to demand ~ cents
per ton, which was refused, and strike was
inaugurated on the 1st of October. AS re-
suit the lake fall trade was lost for the sea-
son, and the miners finally resumed work
OIL old terms The railroad miners failed to
induce the river miners to join them, and
they had steady work.
The shipments of coal from Pittsburg are
governed bv two things-stage of water and
miners strikes The coal shipped to Gin
cinnati is in manner separate from that
sent to Louisville. At that point a large
number of boats are employed to deliver
coal at Cairo, Memphis, Red River, Ar
kansas City, Vicksburg and New Orleans.
Some of these boats leave Louisville with
from GOO, 600 10 S0O 600 bushels. Louisville
is the great coal mart OF the South Coal is
often detained there for months on account
of low water. AT certain seasons of the year
there will be at the river bank above Louis
vile, called Pumpkin Patch, miles of boats
loaded waiting water. Mild weather has
operated verv much against the interest OF
coal owners. Prices of coal in the lower
market range as follows: Cincinnati, 81
to ~ cents per bushel ahoat; Louisville,
7@S; New Orleans, 53-34(G35 cents per
barrel OF pa bushels.

conclusively that this is the great iron and
steel market of the country. The sales
were 2046, SS4 tons, which exceeds last
years by 451, ia tons The increase in the
iron trade the past five years has been Won
derful. In 1887 the years sales amounted
to 9l6.974 tons; the present year exceeds
that amount 1, 1895 910. The sales herewith
are given for each week in a concise form,
the first and second six months being di-
vided. The tables which follow are made
up from our own weekly report of transac-
tions. Apart from this we have reported,
during MAY and June, 4, 525, 900 tons of iron
ore.

THE LATEHR DANIEL REESE

DJaughts players generally will learn with
regret the sad news that Mr.. Daniel Reese,
President of the Christchurch Draughts
Club, after a long and painful illness, died
at Sumner on October IL. Mr.. Reese, who was
only 40 years of age at the time of his dea ill.,
was born at Wishaw, Lanarkshire, in 1S4L
For number of years he took a great inter-
est in the silent game" Canterbury play
ers are indebted to his efforts in organizing
teams to play in inter-provincial and local
matches. When the famous Herd Laddie"
visited the colonies, Mr.. Reese did his best
to secure a visit from the champion to
Canterbury, which proved more successful
than the most sanguine enthusiast dreamed
of. The "Herd Laddie," who was always
grateful for any act of kindness, formed a
warm friendship for Mr.. Reese, who was in
deed faithful friend to all the "brethern o.

five sons and four daughters to mourn their
