Office of Pjttsbttbg DisrATcn. ?
ThuesdaT, January 16. 1891 (
The thing most dreaded by manufacturers
of iron and steel products is a speculative
boom which will inevitably be followed by
a reaction and collapse. A recent interview
with an iron master who had painful memo
ries of the 1873 panic, brought out the fol
lowing: "For months before that panic ev
erything in iron and steel lines were kiting.
Goods went off like Hot cakes at hied prices,
and everybody who conla scrape together a tew
dollars was patting his money into iron. A
multitude put their money into stay.
Too Fresh With Dividend.
"I knew a heavy iron producer, who, in the
summer of 1S7S. received two 10 per cent I divi
dends on stock that had been considerably
watered. He refreshed himselr by a trip to the
Pacific coast with his fimlly, rind had a gay
and festive time in the Yosemite Valley.. About
the time of his return to his native heath, like
a clap of thunder from a clear sky, came the
panic, which knocked the bottom out of all iron
industries. The companies in which he was in
terested would have been mighty glad to recall
their two 10 per cent dividends.
Compensation in it All.
"For four long years there was no division of
profits, and while the concerns in which this
gentleman was interested were solid and
weathered the storm, it would have been much
healthier, and saved many an anxious hour, if
there bad been no such big divides in a single
year ana profits had been distributed through
a senes of years.
"It is usually a feast or a famine with our
iron. Much better a good square meal right
along. The danger of all booms is that specu
lative influences come in to tpod everything.
And this is the chief danger ahead at this
time."
Lumber in Dlieulgnn.
Mr. J. S. Fisher, who is one of our leading
dcaprs in lumber, recently returned from an
extensive trip through Michigan in which he
had an eye to his own particular department.
Said be to The Dispatch market reporter
to-day: "The winter in MIchijran has been very
similar to that in Western Pennsylvania.
There has been practically no snow in the
Peninsula State, and the sawmills, particularly
the smaller ones which are off from the regular
channels of communication with the world of
commerce, have found their usual methods of
shipment no good this season.
Snow ! Eaaentlnl.
"In Michigan and West "Virginia lumbermen
depend greatly on snow in order to get their
logs to market. This winter has entirely upset
their calculations. The big lnmber companies
will not be so much affected by the failure of
the snow crop as the little fellows, who have
their mills aside from the regular lines of
traffic The big fellows have their narrow
gauge railways, and are able to tap their tim
ber lands regardless of snow.
What effect the failure of the smaller saw
mills to get their logs to market will have on
the trade it is hard to tell. The probability is
that it will serve to stimulate prices and thus
put money into the pockets of large operators."
Live Mock nt Liberty.
The local receipts of cattle at the Cast Lib
erty yards this week were S5 loads greater than
last week, the total being 115 loads. Markets
gave few signs of life and buyers were able to
command prices which were not less than 15c
per cwt. under last week's range. Sale ol cat
tle this week were 1,906 head against 1,558 bead
last week. The supply of hogs was in excess of
demand, and markets wre weak at a decline
from last week's prices. Total sales of hogs for
the week, 20,211 head against 23317 bead last
week. At Chicago to-day receipts were 33,000
head, and the outside price there is S3 70. At
Kast Liberty the outside price is not more than
10c above Chicago prices, but it is to bo remem
bered that the best selected hogs are of higher
quality at Chicago than the best here The
sales of hogs on Monday were 8,753 head, the
larcest for any one day this season. Total sales
of sheep and lambs at ISast Liberty for the
week, 7,502 head. Prices were higher than last
week, and in some cases an advance of 30c per
hundred was obtained.

CrnoAOO Wheat There was a rather
stronger undertone to the market to-day, and
while prices did not vary particularly from
yesterday, still there seemed to be a firmer feel
ing, and the closing was about He higher than
yesterday. The bear contingent sold fair
quantities, but the market did not weaken un
der these offerings, but to the contrary the
wheat appeared to be quietly absorbed and the
prices Improved gradually under the operation.
Corn continues to rule quiet, though there
was perhaps a little more doing in a speculative
way than yesterday. The feeling developed
was easier at slightly lower prices. There were
no new features.
Oats presented a fair degree of animation,
and the attendance of operators was larger
than for some days past. The feature of trad
ing was the excitement occasioned by increased
May delivery offerings of which apparently
were induced by the weaker corn market. Un
der pressure which was put upon the market
it became weaker and c below yesterday's
closing quotations was touched. The offerings
soon became exhausted, however, when an im
provement and partial recovery followed and
the market resumed its former tranquil state.
Fork Only a fair business was reported in
March pork, and the market ruled steadier.
Offerings were moderate, and the demand was
only fair on local account and to fill shorts.
Prices averaged a trifle higher, and the market
closed steady. Trading was almost exclusively
In May contracts.
Lard A little more business was transacted
in the lard market, still trading was limited.
Offerings wero fair and the demand was mod
erate. Market closed steady.
Ribs Trading was moderate In short ribs,
and the feeling was stronger. Offerings were
not very large and the demand was fair, espe
cially for May delivery. Prices were a little
more favorable to sellers.

rsrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 1
Kingston, If. T., January ,16. The con
fession of Snyder Lockwood, of Shokan, to a
series of forgeries has created a great stir
throughout the entire Catsklll Mountain re
gion. He is confined to his bed, but is not so
ill as to exclude visitors and bank officials,
and counsel and constables in the inter
est of his victims have conversed
with him at his bedside. Lockwood's mode
of operations was, upon receiving notes
throughout the country in fnll or partial
payment for pianos and organs, to dnplicate
the same and thus secure the means of rais
ing several times the amount of money rep
resented by the genuine note.
Among the heaviest losers is the First
National Bank of Eondout, Cashier Bray
went to the home of Lockwood and secured
an assignment of insurance polioies on his
life for $12,000, a second mortgage on his
personal property and a quit claim deed to
about 80 acres of land.

Some-Important Deals in Real Estate
and More on the String
HE INDORSES THE NEW SCHEME.
One ol the Largest of the La Koria Stock
holders Favors Going Ahead.
PROMPT ACTION THE 0HLT SALTATION
Handlers of real estate, either as agents,
buyers or sellers, report a continuation of
the active movement so frequently referred
to in this column. The principal events
which came to the surface yesterday were
these: "W. C. Stewart sold a house and lot
on Aiken avenue, Shadyside, to Mrs. Mary
A. Glass, for $10,500. She will occupy it as
a residence. C. Beringer & Son disposed of
a Westmoreland county farm of 101 acres
for $4,000. The purchaser is said to be a
"Wood street merchant Between seven and
eight acres belonging to the "White estate,
fronting on Ellsworth avenue, Twentieth
ward, were sold by "W. A. Herron $ Sons
at a price approximating S90,000. William
Mooney is said to be the purchaser.
Several important transactions, which have
been hanging fire for two or three weeks, wero
practically closed up yesterday, and may be
made public to-day. Two of them represent
values which require six figures to express.
The proposition to rehabilitate the La Norla
Alining Company by the Infusion of fresh capi
tal, as outlined at the meeting Wednesday
evening, gave rise to considerable discussion
on Fourth avenue yesterday. From the best
that could be learned it is probable the scheme
will go through and work resumed under more
favorable conditions than heretofore. This
seems necessary to save what has already been
invested. One of the heaviest stockholders, in
approving the reorganization plan, remarked
yesterday evening:
"I think the suggestion to form a developing
company is a good one The Idea is to organizo
a new company with a capital of, say, $200,000,
representing SI for each share of the old stock.
This wonld pay off the present indebtedness
and provide sufficient funds to further develop
the mine, particularly in sinking the shaft,
which is now 265 feet down. The general plan
is to lease the entire property to the new com
pany tor a term of 10 years, at the expiration
of which time the La Noria Mining Company
will again come Into possession-of the prop
erty. "I am decidedly in favor of this plan of pros
ecuting the work, as it does not necessarily de
prive any of the stockholders of their holdings.
It is not a game of freeze-on". The success of
this scheme rests, entirely upon 150,000 at
least beine subscribed by the end of the pres
ent month. Otherwise the probabilities are
that the company will be completely swamped.
There is necessity for prompt action on the
part of stockholders to save what is already at
stake. I see that. Mr. Davis, the manager, ex
presses confidenc in the successful res alt of
sinking the shaft, and I fully agree with him.
Successful mines in the neighborhood of La
Noria are worked at a much greater depth, one
of them being down 1,000 feet."
A local lumber dealer, who has just returned
from a trip to Michigan and other North
westernBtates, says the railroads are begin
ning to respond promptly to the requests for
the speedier movement of lumber, but they do
not seem to fully realize the Importance of that
article of traffic For instance, the other day
a prominent lumberman at Bay City. Mich.,
went to a railroad freight office to complain of
some delay in handling his shipments. "Yes, I
know we have treated you badly, but we have
our hands full in handling freight." ''Great
guns! Isn't lumber freight?" "Well yesI
reckon It is. but I mean regular freieht, snch
as eraln, cattle, etc" That same road soon
afterward sent out a long train of lumber, but
still the officials didn't exactly class It as
freight.

' Statistics show that there is a steady increase
in the consumption of American oil in Canada.
Last year the consumption of Arderican oil in
creased, while that of the Canadian product
decreased. America furnishes two-thirds of
the total consumption in Canada. This moves
a Canadian journal to say: "At -present we
only get 7 gallons of 790 refined oil out of a
barrel of 35 gallons of crude, imperial measure,
which is fit to compete with the best American
oil of the finest quality, and it is thought that
if the flash test was reduced to 88 or 90 we
could get 9 gallons refined out of a barrel of
crude, of a quality as good as the best Ameri
can oil, and that the importation of American
oil wonld be reduced proportionately and in
consequence this would give a greater demand
for our crude oil."
Here Is another item of interest to American
oil producers: The deep-seated prejudice of
the rural population in the United Kingdom
against the use of oil for illuminating purposes
is gradually wearing away, and they are begin
ning to see that the American petroleum gives
a better light and is about as cheap as the old-
time candle. As an evidence that American
oil is making headway, nothing is better than
the complaints of candle-makers who say that
their business Is falling off.
The Linden Coal and Coke Company, of Chi
cago, has been incorporated with a capital
stock of S50, 000. Tho company owns and oper
ates coal mines and manufactures coke in
West Virginia, the works being located some
ten miles north of Fairmont, on the Mononga
hela river, in what is known as the Gonnells
ville basin. The seam worked by the company
is eight feet thick and produces similar coal in
all respects as that mined in tho Connellsvllle
region. A plant of 50 ovens is in full operation,
but the capacity is shortly to be increased.
About one-half of the output is converted into
coke, whllo the remainder is shipped to the
gas and steam trades. The mine is equipped
in first-class style and the present output, be
tween 800 and 400 tons; can readily be doubled
if required.
When the lumber supply in Michigan and the
South becomes exhausted Pittsburg can draw
upon the far Northwest. It is said that Pnget
Sound has 1,800 miles of shore line, and all
along the line, miles and miles farther than the
eye can reach, is one vast and almost unbroken
forest of enormous trees. The supply is so vast
that although the sawmills have been working
up 500,000,000 feet of lumbtr taken out of the
forest every year for the past ten years, the
spaces made by these inroads seem no more
than garden patches. An official estimate
places the amount of standing timber in that
area at 600,000.000,000 feet or 1,000 years' supply,
even at the enormous rate the timber is now
being felled and sawed.
A BETTER FUELING.
Dlore YItn in the Stock Market nnd Con
siderable Staff Picked Up.
So far as buoyancy was concerned, yester
day's stock market was one of the best for
sometime. Nearly all the brokers had orders.
The sales were 327 shares, contributed by
Cbartiers Gas. Switch and Signal, La Noria,
Philadelphia Gas and Central Traction.
Philadelphia Gas sold in a small way ex-divl-dendatSlK
and closed at 31 bid, showing
quite a rally. Very little of it was offered.
Considerable of it was said to hare been picked
up on the street around 31& The La Noria
meeting threw cold water on the stock. It
sold'to the extent of 175 shares at and closed
at y, bid. There are those who think it will yet
come out all right. The tractions. Switch and
Signal and Pleasant Valley Hallway were frac
tionally stroncer. Charters Gas was hid up to
4L Westinghouse Airbrake was weaker, as was
also Electric
The stout resistance which stocks nave
offered to the persistent hammering of the past
two or three months furnishes ground for the
belief that the recent improvement, in activity
no less than strength, will be permanent.

OIL IHPK0YING.
Prices on a Hlcher Level and Brokers In
Better Spirits.
The oil market was stronger and more active
yesterday than for several days. Pittsburg
furnished the backbone and did most of the
trading. There was an encouraging increase
of orders. Other points were quiet. The prin
cipal bullish factor was the drop in the. Glade
Run well to 12 barrels. This was a disappoint
ment. The opening was 10 highest 105, lowest
105, closing 10 The feeling at the windup
indicated considerable faith in the staying
power of the market. Wednesday's clearances
were 248.000 barrels.
The Fort Pitt Natural Gas Company's Deip
well No.iS, in the Montour Run field, south of
Groveton, near Coraopolis.it is thought, will
settle down to a SO-barreler. The Imperial
Coal Company got a dry hole with their well
on the other side of tho farm from Deip No. 2.
The Taylor well on the Cable farm in the
Myoma field, which was increased to 100 bar
rels by a shot, has decreased to 80 barrels a day.
Joseph Hartman's well, on the Samuel Staple
farm at Callery Junction, has been drilled in,
but without showing any signs of improve
ment It is now put down as a 60-barrel well.
The James Hays well, In the same field, will
not prove much of a one. It is probable that
some new territory will be opened up before
very long near Mumnsvllle, in Butler County.
Luce & Co., who control 3,000 acres there,
have one well in the territory that is in the
sand, with prospects of being a fair one. It
is far away from old developments.
In the Washington field the Taylor-Moffat
No. 1 is down to the fifth sand without showinc
for much, and the No. 2 has let up altogether
on production. Things look so discouraging
there that the owners of several wells in the
vicinity are seriously thinking of abandoning
them. Fergus & Co.'s McQuay Ho. 1 is com
pleted in the fifth sand. It has been tubed and
pumping will be started to-day. Taylor Sc Co.'s
well ou the Smith farm is doing 25 barrels a
day. The McCalmont Oil Co.'s No. 1 onjthe Fer
guson farm, in the Shannocin field, is through
the sand and full of oil. It will be an average
well.

The Washington Field.
Washington, January 16. At Hickman
well No. 1 at Canonsburg, to-day, a plug was
blown out by gas killing John Moore, a tool
dresser, who was in the top of the derrick.
Butler, January 16. Charles Haslett & Co.'s
No. 1 on the Humphrey farm and 700 feet east
of the Nesbitwell in the 100-foot sand, began
flowing to-day at a lively rate. There were no
tanks up and a great deal of oil went to waste
on the ground. Tho well is estimated
to be doing 100 barrels a day and
is evidently not at its best yet.
The Grazier well, on the John Martin farm, one
mile northeast of Callery Junction, and an
equal distance from developments In the
Myoma field, is 40 feet in the sand, and has
made several flows. Tho Mclntyre well, on the
McNeal farm, west of the Irvine, Is drilling In
the sand and showing some oil. The Phillips
well, on theDonthett farm at Glade Run. which
started off at first with a dally production of 600
barrels a day, is still doing 13 barrels an hour.
John S. Shee Co.'s well, on the Ellas farm,
near Murrysvillc was torpedoed yesterday, and
Is doing 10 barrels per day. This was a wildcat
venture, and will stimulate drilling in that lo
cality. Already a large number of rigs are
building and new locations being made

STOPPED THE TIOKEB,
The Commercial Telegram Company Bocks
Against Wall Street Sagar Mores
Up Union Pacific Raided The
Final Figures Lowest.
New York, January 16. The stock market
to-day was even less active than for the past
few days, owing in part to the stoppage of the
tickers of the Commercial Telegram Company,
which seriously interfered with the business of
many brokers, and partly to the apathy ol the
traders who are again the principal makers of
quotations. The feeling at the opening was
bullish among the traders, but the pressure
upon Union Pacific from the bears was ex
tended to other stocks, and the traders turned
over to the other side for a turn, and a general
decline was the consequence, though the fluc
tuations were extremely narrow, and possessed
little significance outside of the few leading
shares.
Sngar was up about 2 per cent on covering of
shorts, though there were large purchases by
some firms which bad the appearance of long
buying, and these were helped out by purchases
on the long side, but the traders who, disgusted
with the sluggishness of the railroad list,
turned once more to the trusts as likely to'
afford an opportunity to get a profit. There
was some selling; by those who thought the
stoek had already had its rise, and the improve
ment would not be held, though it closed with
a fractional advance.
The bears again attacked Union Pacific on
the option of Chairman Walker, though the
decline was accelerated by reports from Wash
ington that had withdrawn some land grants.
Wisconsin Central was again materially lower
on the continued liquidation, and Jersey Cen
tral late in tho day dropped suddenly from 123
to 120 but recovered a portion of the loss.
The Coal stocks were remarkably strong again,
and Reading was aided by the report that the
Mayor of Philadelphia had signed the terminal
bill, while Lackawanna was bought largely by
influential parties who had the appearance of
investment buying.
Lead Trust followed Sugar, but fluctuated
within very narrow limits, and its final change
is insignificant. The news of the day which
had any effect upon the market was from Chi
cago, and was principally of an unfavorable
nature.but the Influences of these advices were
fairly offset by the large disbursements by the
Treasury, whose effects were seen In the in
creasing ease of money and the removal of
fears of a squeeze in rates.
The maraet closed dull but heavy and gen
erally at lowest prices. The activity in the
Trusts made considerable animation in the
market, however, and the sales in the unlisted
department reached 65.208 shares, of which
Sugar contributed 38,835.
Railroad bonds were again quite dull, the
sales reaching only 5L089,000. and while there
were large nnmber traded the active bonds
failed to show any movement except Wisconsin
Central incomes, which reacted again, dropping
from 67 to 6L The Readings were stronger,
however, and the Ss moved from 40 to 42.

, Country Produce Jobbing Prices.
Interviews with Liberty street commission
men failed to develop any new features in this
department ot trade. The price ot eggs is
merely nominal. Bales are reported as low as
15c per. dozen. The general produce trade is
uncomfortably quiet. Even poultry, which was
scarce and firm during the holiday season, has
quieted down, and demand is light at a shade
lower prices than have ruled of late. There is
little or no change in prices of good creamery
butter. Country butter is slow, and only the
choicest holds up to quotations. The great
topic with produce dealers is weather. The
failure of winter to show up in its usual style Is
viewed as the great hindrance to active trade

ATTENTION, DEP0S1T0E8 J
Interview the Assessors If Ton Wonld Not
Get Left In the Larch.
Under Jndge Stowe's ruling depositors in
banks who get interest on their deposits
must report the same to the assessors for as
sessment of the 3-miIl tax. As banks are
required to give the lists of their stockhold
ers the County Commissioners hold that the
Dollar Savings Bank, if its capital consists
of its debts, must list them for taxation, or
the depositors must list their deposits. It
neither be done the Commissioners will take
last year's report of the institution and
under the law mnst add 0 per cent to the
amount credited each depositor. .
The good goddess of poverty never appears
more beneficent than in tax assessing and
paying time. The tramp is not hampered by
any of these complications.
When baby was sick, we gave her Castoria,
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria,
When she became Miss, she clung to CastdHa,
When she had Children,she gave them Castoria
