ETENTSOFTHEWEEK
Ups and Downs of Local Traffic Dur
ing the Past Six Days,
SURPMSES IN STOCKS AND OIL.
The latter Boomed by Producers Patting a
High Value on the Eeserre.
ONE POLLAB KOW FEEELT TALKED OP
The volume of business was cut down
somewhat the past week by cold weather.
"With accompanying snow and rain, render
ing out-of-door movements difficult and un
pleasant, and putting country roads into an
almost impassable condition. Still, with
all these drawbacks, general trade was
fairly active, both here and at other com
mercial centers, with liberal orders for season
able goods, and values well maintained.
Locally, while there was no boom in any
thing, there was. a good average of transac
tions, with an increase of inquiries for soma
specialties notably iron. In local securities
there were a tew surprises, both in the way of
advances and of depressions. Early in the
week a demand for Switch and Signal and La
Noria set in, which advanced both of thess
stocks to a higher point than they had previ
ously, attained, bnt this burst of strength soon
subsided, and at the close both had lost Ground
and were dull and neglected. Later on West
inghouse Electric came to the front as a leader
In activity and strength, selling up from SEX
on Monday to 40KS0J at the close yesterday.
It left off decidedly bullish. Gas and Tractions
were without leature, occupying a conspicuous
position In the background. There was largs
demand for bank stocks, but very few changed
hands. A big block of Bank of Pittsburg went
at 75 the highest point it had ever reached.
This is considered a big price to pay for a 1
per cent security, but it is a safe investment,
the. bank being as solid as the hills and
managed by reliable and experienced finan
ciers. Petroleum dragged along all week until yes
terday, when a genuine boom set in and dollar
oil was the general talk on the lloor of the Ex
change. The improvement was due to the con
clusion arrived at by the producers not to sell
the reserve stock for less than $1 before May 1.
This removed a standing menaco to the market
and gave the dealers confidence. It was also
thought tho decision would cause outsiders to
.take hold with their old-time vim. The market
closed active and firm at the highest point
reached.
Real estate was active, but no large transac
tions took place. Tho weather interfered with
building operations to the extent that only
eight permits for new structures wen" applied
for during the week. The estimated cost of
these is 6,700. All of the leading banks re
ported money abundant and easy at 67 per
cent on time loans and 6G on call. About
S100.000 was placed at 5 per cent on flrswdass
collateral. This rate Is exceptional.
G1IKS AND LOSSES.
Stock Wind Up the Week With Electric
Leading the List.
The stock market was less active yesterday,
the total sales amounting to only ISj shares, of
which 100 were Electric and So Philadelphia
Gas. Electric was stronger. Sales were made
at iVt. with 40 asked at the close. Switch
and Signal picked np a trifle, 15 being bid
and 16 asked. Philadelphia Gas and La
Nona were fractionally weaker, 37 being the
highest hid for the former and 155 for the
latter. There was an unusually large and per
sistent demand for bank stocks, but they wero
held above the views of brokers having orders
for them.

ON A HIGH H0ESE.
Action of the Producers Causes a Genuine
Boom in Petroleum.
The action of the Advisory and Executive
Committees of the Prodncera' Association at
Oil City in regard to the 3,500,000 barrel resolve
not to sell any part of it before May 1 at less
than (1 caused a general boom ou 'Change
yesterday. The opening figures were 67, the
highest tsS, the lowest hfti and the close 5s.
The slump to the lowest point touched was
caused by heavy selling in Oil City. Two or
three persistent attempts were made to break
the market, but they were promptly met by
Stevenson and Lowry here and by Fisher,
Rowe and Nelson in New York.
The dealings, which wets on a largs scale,
were characterised tj a degree of excitement
that presented a striking contrast to the dull
ness of the past few weeks, and gave the boys
an opportunity to show what they could do
when they had a chance. The feeling at the
close was very strong.
"We have crossed the danger tine," said a
prominent operator after the session had ad
journed. "We know what we are doing now.
That producers' stuff has handicapped the
market for mouths. It Is out of the way now,
and the field Is clear to put prices ou a reason
able basis. While I don't expect dollar oil lust
yet, I im confident to-day's advance will bs
maintained. It has eleme-.ts of stability that
will effectually resist every attempt of tea
bears to cause a slump."

TIRGINIA IE0&
A Capitalist Claims It Is Far Superior to the
Alabama Product.
A writer in the Lexington, "Vsl, Gazette
draws the following comparison between
Bucna Vista and Birmingham iron:
A ton of iron can be mined two tons of iron,
manufactured and placed on the cars at Grand
Forest, including every expense, for S3 79.
This iron is of the best quality car wheel Iron
and rnns 10 per cent higher In metalic iron than
that of Birmingham, which is only an ordinary
neutral grade. Beuua Vl6ta has the advantage
of from (1 50 to $2 per ton in freight, and for a
coke supply 75 cents to $1 per ton over Birming
ham, and while the Beuua Vista iron is bring
ing $21 per ton In Pittsburg and Philadelphia,
Birmingham sells along side of it, only bringing
$19, which, when compared with the difference
In freight, J2, and cost of coke, (1 per ton in
favor of Buena Vista iron, the difference is So
per ton for Buena Vista iron over Birming
ham, The reason Virginia metal from these beds
brings $2 more on the ton than Birmingham is,
that It is a superior iron and the two grades do
not In any way compete.

to-day was comparatively quiet, and while
there was an Inclination to advance, it was
checked by raids upon the Grangers, and the
close was generally at lower figures than those
of last evening. The depression of last night
was not over yet at the opening this morning,
and first prices were generally from to H per
cent lower than last evening's figures, with
Omaha, Missouri Pacific and Atchison showing
the largest losses. London had some sellin
orders which accounted for the weakness
though it was generally believed that the orders
originated in New York; There was a renewal
of the buying by commission bouses, however,
and the market became active and strong
throughout, although Cleveland, Columbus,
Cincinnati and Indianapolis, while It was
rumored that the negotiations between that
road and the Big Four had actually been
closed, developed marked weakness after open
ing up H per cent and rapidly lost over a point.
There was considerable animation in a few
of the leaders, but the general list was dull
until the last hour, when a more general dis
tribution of business occurred and the strong
tone disappeared. The bears raided, the
Grangers, and although the losses la those
stocks were small, the general list sympathized
to a marked extent aided by some realizations.
Oregon Short Line was a marked exception,
and it continued strong nntil the close, rising 2
per cent. Pullman was alio strong again, and

MARKETS BY WIRE.
Short In Wheat Cover Freely and the
Flurry Subside Cora Lower Oat
Steady Pork Decline and
Lard Close Weak.
Chicago Trading in wheat to-day was
not as heavy as yesterday, still a fair
business In the aggregate was transacted. The
buying and selling was not as pronounced as
yesterday, and the fluctuations of prices were
confined within a smaller range. But judging
from the action of the market it appears that
the short interest, those who were frightened
about the prices ruling, had covered pretty
freely, consequently there was less demand.
The market opened about c lower than yes
terday's closing, advanced Xc, ruled steady
and closed about o lower than yesterday.
Corn ruled quiet and steady early In the day,
but as the session advanced a weaker feeling
prevailed. Transactions were confined mainly
to May. The market opened at yesterday's
closing prices and was steady for a time, there
being some orders around S5)c, but when the
estimates for Monday became known the local
crowd sold, and this, together with the free of
ferings by one local operator, caused a decline
of Jic, reacted some and closed 4c lower
than j esterday.
Oats" opened strong at yesterday's closing
prices, advanced c grew weak, receded and
closed at about inside figures.
Little attention was given pork. The filling
of orders advanced prices 510o early In the
day, but a weaker feeling was developed later

THE PITTSBURG- ISPATOH,
EXEMPTION FE0M AEEEST.
JadgB String Baud Down an Opinion That
Attorney Are Exempt From ArrealOnly
at Certain Times.
An opinion was handed down by Judge
Ewing yesterday that will be of interest to
attorneys as 'bearing upon their exemption
from arrest while in court or on the way to
and lroo court.
Judge McCandless was In the city In De
cember, engaged in the salt of Hartupee
against the city, and was served with a sum
mons in a suit brought by the Parker Sav
ing! Bank,and he obtained a rule to show cause
why the summons should not be set aside on a
question of privilege.
In his opinion Judge Etrtagsald It was an an
cient privilege that attorneys be exempt from
arrest while obliged to attend court: the rea
sons, however, for these privileges had mostly
disappeared. He said there is good reason for
exempting attorneys while in actual attend
ance, or an attorney here from another county
In a epeeial case. .
He said: "There Is no more reason for ex
emDticg a local attorney, unless In actual at
tendance, than a merchant or a banker, and
certainly the cause of Justice Is not to be pro
moted by requiring tnat attorneys living in
other counties and practicing in this court
shall be exempt from service of process in the
county in which their business is transacted.
We see no sufficient reason for extending to
attorneys of our courts who reside out of the
county privileges beyond those given ato prac
ticing attorneys within the county."
With reference to attorneys here tn attend
ance on the United States Court or Supreme
Court Judge Ewing held that there was good
reason for exempting them from service of
process. The rule was discharged and the
service allowed to stand. The case exciting the
controversy is an action on a note.

week.
The Duquesne Greys held a meeting last
Tuesday night and discussed the possibility of

Captain R, W. A. Simmons, of Company

charged by general orders, and the vacancies
will be filled at Once.
The Cathedral Band, of this city, will go to
Washington with the Eighteenth Regiment
With a drum corns of 40 men and the band,
the regiment will certainly be well supplied
from a musical standpoint.
Orders for the election of a Second Lieu
tenant in Company A, Eighteenth, nave been
received, but as there is also a vacancy for Cap
tain In the same company, the election will be
delayed until orders for the latter arrive.
A. E. Ross, formerly a corporal in Company
H, of the Sixteenth Regiment, has Doen
transferred to Company G, of the Eighteenth.
He is a sharpshooter of several years' standing,
and will be a valuable addition to the company.
Lieutenant Charles H. Harlow, of the
United States Navy, gave an interesting little
talk yesterday afternoon at the Pittsburg Press
Club to a number of the members and some
visitors. His subject was his experiences In
Alaska.
The report of the Adjdtant General for the
ycarlSSJ Is expected shortly, as it has been
compded by the printer. Its arrival is anxiously
awaited by many company commanders, who
desire to see what kind of a rating they have
received.
The Washington Infantry has secured quar
ters on Maine street, near the Pennsylvania
depot, in Washington, and expect to take a
very large company to tho inauguration. Cap
tain Shannon is drilling the men iu a manner
that shows he means business.
The regiments of the First and Third Brig
ades will appear with leggius at Washington
next month. It is too bad the Second Brigade
could not have gotten theirs in time to give the
entire division a uniform appearance. It Is
probable, however, that they will be on hand in
time for the New York trip.
An election for First Lieutenant In Company
F, of the Southslde, has been ordered for the
15th inst. Second Lieutenant Charles May will
have no opposition for the position, and his va
cancy will probably be filled by First Sergeant
Chris Snyder. The election will be conducted
by Captain Samuel Harper, Jr.
It's quite the proper thing now for regiments
to attend divine services once in a while, just
to let the boys know what the inside of a church
looks like. The Eastern regiments have been
turning out for that purpose lately, and the
Eighteenth expects to go to church about next
Sunday week if they have luck. .
Captain O. C. Coon, of McKeesport, re
fuses to enlist any men in his company under
6 feet 8 Inches. As a result his company Is be
ginning to present a very uniform and steady
appearance. -At the election held a week ago,
Sergeant Laver was promoted to the Second
Lieutenancy vice Neillie, resigned.
Colonel Watres, State Inspector of Rifle

erning au state contests and matches.
Requisitions for blankets to be worn on the
saddles of mounted officers in the Second
Brigade have been sent up by the different reg
iments. While many of the officers desired to

jutant General will allow Only fha regulation
steel-grey color, aad they must be paid for by
the person using them.
The commission of Colonel Alex. Hawkins,
of tho Tenth Regiment, having expired, an
election has been ordered for the 27th of this
month at Washington, Pa, Colonel Smith, of
this city, will hold the election, and a number
of the local officers will be present to witness
Colonel Hawkins' re-election. The old warrior
is so highly thought of that his regiment would
not allow him to retire under any circum
stances. The talk of the Pennsylvania troops march
ing down Pennsylvania avenue in Washington
at division front during the parade is not
thought to bs foasable, and will scarcely be
carried out. It is a question whether the lines
would present a better appearance with a divi
sion front than In column of companies, as in
tho former manner with 60 men front, the
flanks would certainly be crowded consider
ably, and the ranks much more difficult to
keep even.
Captain C. S. W. Jones, of the Sheridan
Troop, Tyrone, introduced a bill in the State
Legislature last Friday providing for the ap
pointment of Quartermasters in cavalry and
artillery with the rank of Second Lieutenant,
the same to bo appointed by the various com
senders of artillery and cavalry. Tho bill also
supplies an omission .in the general military
law by authorizing the Adjutant General and
InspectorGeneraltohold annual inspections.
If Captain Jones had gone a step further and
provided for the appointment of regimental
commissaries he would have added greatly to
the general usefulness of his bilk
The Adjutant General seems to be having
quite a hard time making a dicker with the
railroad companies relative to the transporta
tion of troops to New York. The best the eel
ehrationcomniittee will do Is to allow 0 cents
per man for borad while in New York, with no
provision for traveling expenses. The State,
on the other hand, is pretty reluctant about
paying anything for transportation, so the
question has narrowed down to whether the
railroad companies will carry the men for
nothing or let them stay at home. The First
Brigade has made all its arrangements and will
go sure, and it is thought that, with the amount
of the pressure that Is being brought to bear,
the other brigades may get there too.
Colonel Louis Watres, the Division In
spector of Rifle Practice,has hit upon a scheme
which will be of Interest to veteran marksmen,
or those who have qualified for five years. In
place of having them wear the five or more
bars with the bronze pendant he proposes to
issue to them a solid silver badge of very neat
pattern. It will be in the shape of a keystone
with a target, and the Inscription, "N. G. P.
Veteran," across the face of It, suspended from
a small coin-like piece, upon which will be the
number of years the wearer has qualified.
Ther9 are 2S5 of these "veteran" marksmen in
the division entitled to the new badges, of
whom 101 are in the First Brigade, 49 in the
Second and 1S3 iu the Third. The badges are
almost ready, and will be sent out at once.
ALGEB WILL NOT GO ABROAD.
He Intimate That a Cabinet Seat I About

DETEdiT, February 0. Last week Senator-elect
McMillan received from President
elect Harrison an invitation to visit him
this week. The visit was made yesterday.
Mr. McMillan returned home early this
morning and soon after was closeted with
General Alger. The latter was seen soon
after the conference ended.
"I am not at liberty," he said, "to say
anything abont Mr. McMillan's conversa
tion with General Harrison. So far as I
know, I am at peace with all the world.
There has been some talk of differences be
tween Senator Palmer and myself and be
tween Senator Sherman and me. There is
nothing in these stories, so lar as I know."
"It has been intimated that if yon do not
go into the Cabinet you will go abroad, as
a Minister at one of the larger capitals."
"I shall not go abroad."
There is every indication that the talk
between General Harrison and Mr. McMil
lan has resulted in the offer of the position
of Secretary of 'War to General Alger, and
that before to-morrow morning General
Alger will decide to accept the offer.

knowing ones say that at this meeting a resolu
tion will be offered which will do much toward
the advancement of the academy. The office
of both the academy and guild, it Is said, is for
mutual benefit among the teachers, but it is
surprising that in a place as large as Pittsburg
it has no mutual benefit fund to aid teachers in
case of sickness, loss of position or age, as
nearly all other cities and organizations have.

Pittsburg Legion No. 1, S.K.of A.O.tT.
W., adopted a resolution at the last regular
meeting, to hold a series of social entertain
ments, about once a month, during ths cold
weatber. Upon these occasions the doors will
be opened to the members and their families
and a few Invited friends. The exercises will
consist of debates, recitations, esiavs, vocal
and Instrumental music, eta They think that
this will have a tendency to induce the mem
bership more numerously to attendthe meet
ings, as regular meetings will be held each
evening previous to the social. This legion is
the strongest in thelState, and growing contin
ually. C. M.B. A.

John B. T aylor Shoot Himself Through ths
Head and Will Die.
BfiAVEB Falxs, February 9. John B.
Taylor, of New Brighton, aged 21 years,
shot himself abont 1 o'clock this morning
at the residence of Cameron Keller, on
Ninth avenue. For several months past
Taylor had been paying attention to Miss
Stella, sister of Mr. Kelley, with whom she
makes her home. He called upon her last
evening, and, in company with others, spent
a pleasant time.
A few mordents before the deed was com
mitted Miss Kelly left the room. As she
re-entered she saw Kelly standing with a re
volver pressed against, his right temple.
"See here, Stella," said he, "I'm going to
shoot myself." The report of the revolver
followed instantly, and ha fell headlong at
her feet.
Drs. Simpson and Kring were at once
summoned, and found that the ball had
entered about two inches behind the right
eye and,, lodged near the left one. This
morning they probed for the ball, hut failed
to find it. They removed his left eye.
Taylor's recovery is considered extremely
doubtful. No cause for the act has been as
signed, and all that Taylor can be got to say
is: "I did it myself; it is no fault of hers."

think she ought to have."
"Did yon Enow Le Caron when he was
here?"
"I did not I did not come to Detroit
until after Le Caron left, as I am now in
