Bicycle is no longer considered toy

not eat and will not get sick and die.
If a person pay 500 or more for

Made Up Their Quarrel.

A hardware store on Main street,
Manayunk, is the headquarters Of sew
eral old citizens, who congregate daily
10 gossip politics, ancient history, and
tell stories of their individual trials and
troubles before they retired from active
business life. Jokes and tricks, inno-
cent and harmful, are constantly prac-
ticed on each other, much TO the amuse-
men' Of the purchasers of nails, paint
and putty. About thirty years ago Ben
Davis and Joe Winpenny differed over
a statement made by the latter. Davis,
who doubted the story, requested Win
penny to put it in writing before he
would believe the yarn. Winpenny,
who was angry that his veracity could
be questioned by any present, resented
the charge and left the store. with a VOW
never to speak to Davis until he asked
his pardon. Yesterday Davis relented
after the long space Of time and they
shook hands over the wide chasm. Tears
were in the eyes of the old vets present

Henry Clews, in an article on "How to In

q good investment: more money has been
made in real estate than you can estimate
in day. The public are leaving Wall street
alone, and are putting their spare money in
land. This country has just begun to be de-
veloped. What has occurred in the past
will be repeated in the future. Towns will
grow rapidly into cities, and these cities
Will attract the attention of the world The
population of this country is now 65,OO0 900.

in proportion to attain that figure. What
will be the price Of land then?'

NEW YORK, Dec. ia special cable to the

trade is without radical change. Somewhat
more cheerful reports come from the Cleve-

NEW YORK, Dec. 15-Speculation at the
Stock Exchange to-day turned upon the
strength of the market for sterling ex-
change, the continued exports of gold to
Europe and the furry in the money market.
The shipments of $500, 600 gold to-day by the
steamship Russia, which is a slow boat, at
tracted attention, as it was looked upon as
additional evidence that the foreign de.
mand for the yellow metal was more urgent
than hal been generally supposed. On
the top OF this shipment came
the reports that s2,OOOOOO would be
shipped by Saturdays steamers, and that
anywhere from So COO OJO to $40, GOO 900 would
60 forward next week. The sterling ex-
change market is unusually bare of bills
and rates are right up to the shipping point
These matters undoubtedly made an i'm
19ression upon money lenders, who began to
call in loans, and by their action caused the
rates for call money to jump suddenly from
AZ To Is per cent. Many firms had loans
called, and they had to make other arrange
ments, thus precipitating q stringency for
which brokers, in some instances at least
were quite unprepared.
The talk OF heavy gold shipments directed
attention afresh to the compulsory silver
coinage law, and even induced spectators
70 make bids for calls on gold TO run during
1898. SO lar as activity and advance in the
money market is concerned, it is said that
while it may have an adverse influence on
the stock market, 1t will also tend to q freer
speculation.
The only rally Of importance occurred be:

leadership of New England, the whole list

STAPLES FAIRLY ACTIVE
And the Movement in Holiday Speciaities
Unusually Large-Prices Generally Well
Maintained-Late Crop and Business
Gossip.

THURSDAY, Dec. Is.
Trade in staple merchandise was fair to-
day, but prices, as rule, were unchanged
and features of any character were lacking.
Among the produce commission men bust
ness was reported quiet, as usual to Thurs
day, with everything in their line firmly
held. The movement in specialties for the
holiday trade continues heavy, completely
overshadowing all other movements.
There is no let up in the wheat receipts.
Advices from the Northwest say farmers
have been compelled to take their wheat
market towns Tor chance to unload: Ac-
tions have been begun against the railways
for failure to provide cars.
The Chicago stock OF contract wheat stead,
lily increases and is now almost 1000, 600
bushels. There is little commercial demand
for this grade, as the lower grades are rela-
lively so much cheaper. Hence the specu.
lative grade accumulates. The stock OF
Q ntract corn now in store in Chicago IL re-
ported ut 4, ,lzT 533 bushels, against 4, JOG, 800
bushels one week ago and Slo. OOO bushels one
year ago this time. Stocks or contract oats
are l,7s5. .63S bushels, against 2,023,27l bushels
the previous week.
The Trade Bulletin. Of Chicago, makes tho
worlds visible supply OF wheat and flour
December l amount to 23l ,0O0, 900 bushels
against 1876 000, 900 bushels month earlier
1t reports an increase during November OF
bushels On IulS Sluo uuu I'LL luCEcdSc
abroad of Il, 100000 bushels.
The feeling in the provision crowd is be-
coming more bullish owing to the light sup
ply of hogs. The farmers have been report
ing the hog supply of the West as 25 per cent
short, but the deficit is much greater than
that. The Western packing since November
/ is 50 per cont less than Tor the same time
last year. and the hog receipts continue to
fall off.
People who have recently returned from
the West report the sentiment among the
masses as very hopeful regarding the out
look for business. People are busy in all the
different lines of trade, too busy in fact to
give to the currency question that serious
thought which is the cause of SO much con-
serva tism in the East.
The demand for fruits, nuts, candies and
table delicacies for the holiday season is
said to be unprecedentedly active.
Poultry and eggs are holding firmly up to
quotations, the market still being Compare
lively bare of fresh stocks.
Dairy products are somewhat easier un-
der rather heavy supplies.
Winter vegetables are in good demand
and grad ually stiffening in price.

Flour in the Northwest.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Dec. l6-The North
toestern Miller says: The mills made another
big run last week, the output being the
heaviest in three weeks. Certain mills did
the best they have on this crop, very lair
water power aiding them considerably. The
aggregate production for the week was l9i-
500 Understanding 32,43l barrels daily
against lS6.545 barrels the previous week.
lS2, l94 barrels for the corresponding time in
1891, and I35.6s5 barrels in 1890. The
-four market remains dull, and prices,
in sympathy with those of wheat, are
gradually settling down. For week back
there was quite an excess of flour ground
over the volume of orders received. The
firms making q reduced amount OF Hour
were the only ones that made equivalent
sales. The trade i'll -four the past week has
been largely in carlot orders, coming from
home markets. Patents can be sold If low
enough prices are made, but little can be
done with either bakers or low grades. For
that reason stocks OF the latter two kinds
are accommodating. They cannot be sold Tor
export ana domestic dealers will not nay
any more for q good quality 9f low grade
than for shorts, Very little " now heard

PIG IRON STATISTICS.
Production Increased and Stocks Decreased
During November.


NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-[SpecidL 1.-The Iron
Age says: Our monthly blast furnace re-
ports shows that while production increased
during November at the rate OF about 22, 600
tons month, there has been q reduction OF
stocks, so far as our reports go, of about 64,
900 tons. This indicates that statistically
the position has been improving. While
consumption has therefore been at the rate
of about 100000 tons in November, there is
little doubt that the amount of iron melted
will fall OFF very materially during the next
four weeks.
The situation in the structural and plate
trades is somewhat peculiar. A very large
amount of business is in sight. Our Phiiu-
delphia correspondent estimates the Quan-
tity in the Eastern territory outside of cur
rent requirements at 40 900 tons, which in
cludes the Cramp ship work and s, 900 tons OF
light steel plates for pipe line. There is
evidence that number OF large office build
ings will be put up in our leading cities, SO
that the future seems to hold out good
promise. In bars, wire nails and fencing the
reports are not generally encouraging. The
pipe trade is growing dull, and with it sxelp
is suffering east and west. Tin has had a
spasmodic speculative movement upward.

NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-Business activity in
