INCIDENTS OF THE WEEK IN LOCAL
SPECULATIVE CIRCLES.

Business OF Moderats Dimensions, but
Interest Impaired by SONS Sharp Ad-
vances-IntrinsIo Values, Beginning to
Teli-No Break and . Strong Finish.
While the stock market was not remark
able for activity during the week ending
yesterday. it was for the strong tone which
characterized values. Bidders were moder-
ately aggressive, but holders offered the
goods wanted quite sparingly. These two
incidents should allay fears. If any are en-
tertained, of serious breaks in any dtrec-
ton: PittsburE securities rest on q substan-
t1Gl basis, and investors know it.
The principal price changes for the week
were: Citizens Insurance Company ad.

brake 3H, Underground Cable 2, q. 8. Glass

prices ever made. Switch and Signal made
q slight concession, as II to give little
close was at or near the highest point of the
week. As nearly all the stocks on the list
are selling below their real worth, the
danger Of any sensational breaks seems very
remote.

THE COMING EXPOSITION,

Some Important Changes Being Made In
the Building Which Will Conduce I'd
tho Convenience Of the PubIic-A
Greater Seating Capacity Provided.
The Exposition management has made
some radical changes in the great building
at the Point which will greatly add to the
attractiveness of the various departments
| of the Exposition, as well as con-
tribute to the pleasure and comfort Of
visitors
Manager Johnston, in speaking of these
changes, said: 1.-THE music has always been
recognized as feature each year, and for
the coming Exposition there have been en-
gagged two bands. Jules Levy, the cornet-
ist, will open the season, with his own band,
the engagement lasting for % days. Dur.
ing the remainder of the time Signor
Liberati will WELD the baton over his own
band. These two leaders, with their organ
izations, are believed to have no superiors
in this country. The trouble hitherto at
the band concerts has been the lack of seats,
but this will be remedied the coming sea-
son. Owing to changes in the main floor,
through the stands formerly occupied by
exhibits being removed, over 1,500 addi-
tional seats have been arranged for Then
gallery has been built opposite the band
stand, thus giving in all over 5000 seats"
Arrangements have been concluded by
which Professor Cromwell, who is we'll
known to most Pittsburgers, will give four
of his instructive illustrated lectures on
foreign travel and other subjects, each day,
afternoon and evening, during the season.
The hall in which these lectures are to be-
given IS entirely new, is located where the
art rooms formerly were and is nearing COM
pletion. 1t has seating capacity OF over
800 opera chairs and will be well lighted BY
electricity. The stage is sufficiently large
for all concerts, lectures, etc.
The unsightly appearance of the roof in
the interior OF the main building Will be re-
moved. The whole inside Is now being
painted white, with vermilion trimmings,
which will give pleasing effect, besides
making it brighter and more cheerful A
novel effect will be produced by looking
glasses placed Immediately in rear of the
band. the glass duplicating the number Of
musicians, while the occupants of the gall
lery opposite the band stand will be re-.
hected in the mirrors
The society has purchased a merry-go-,
round, which is now in process of erection
in the park 1t the west end of the main
building.
