. v --5 THE FITTSBTJItG- 3DISPAT0H, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY -18, 1890.f iDEAL BROKEN OFF. r, The. Best Brewing Company Scared by - Three Thousand Dollars. I1ATEST MOVEMENTS IN REALTY. 'How Millionaire Prepares Himself for an Interriew With Tramps, DECISION OK THE C. 0. D. QUESTION " It was reported yesterday that the deal which had been hanging fire for some time between the Philip Best Brewing Company , and Mr. McCallip, for a piece of ground on -twelfth and Pike streets, had been declared off, the brewing company declining to pay the price asked. The difference between the parties was about $3,000. Had the brewing company made tbe purchase they would have enlarged the extensive ware house on the property and uses it for storing Milwaukee refreshments. Business was in good shape and of fair pro portions yesterday for tbe beginning of tbe week and on tbe ere of an exciting political contest. Tbe most active interest was real estate, and at least three large deals were closed up, but satisfactory details could not be ob tained. An offer of sometbine over 90,000 was. made for the Caldwell lot adjoining tbe Dollar Bavings Bank. Some of the brokers com plained of difficulty in finding purchasers for business property on account of the exaggerated views of owners. Small parcels are compara tively easy to sell. A suburban millionaire told tbe following story on himself yesterday. He lives in a quiet, retired place near tbe extreme eastern limits-of the city. His partner In business served a term as Mayor, Said be: "I have always had a fear of being waylaid by tramps or road agents, and have for many years been in the habit ot carry ing a few counterfeit bills of large denomina tions in my inside pocket so as to be within easy reach in case ot emergency. Thus. If sud denly confronted by a road agent, I would say to him: "Certainly, sir; yu have the advantage of me: take all I have, but do not resort to vio lence.' Then I would draw out my pocketbook and hand it over to him. He would see there was considerable money in it, accept It with thanks and leave me to pursue my journey. I would bate to meet the same fellow afterward. however, as be might not have implicit oon fldence in the kind of money I carried, and make it unpleasant for me." Prophet Benners prediction that this year will witness a remarkSble revival of stock speculation and a perfect boom In prices is ridiculed by conservative brokers, one of whom says: "Such stuff as this is not merely foolish; it is harmful to a multitude of simple-minded, honest people who have hard-earned savings to lose by indiscreet ventures. People of this kind are more or less superstitious. They are too apt to believe tbe bold and positive assur ances of people of the Benner sort about things tbey are unable to investigate for them selves. Benner has so means of knowing more about stocks than other people; in fact, he knows nothing at all aboui them, and all ho says about them is absolutely worthless." The Commissioner of Internal revenue has majle the following ruling upon the C O. D. question: I am of tbe opinion that when a person makes a bona fide offer to purchase goods, and directs in the same order that tbe goods shall be sent by a common carrier or any one else to a place designated by him, the price to be paid at the place of delivery, and the order is accepted by the seller, and tbe goods are separated from the other goods of tbe pur chaser, and are delivered to tbe carrier with in structions to deliver to the purchaser at the place named by him, and collect the purchase money at that place, that tbe place' of sale. under the law of Congress imposing a special tax upon wholesale dealers, is the point at whlchtbe goods areordered.andsctapart and delivered to the carrier. fc, 'According to a- report of tbe Agricultural Department, just Issued, 10,000,000 acres of for esis are used yearly In this country for fuel and lumber. Fires, it is calculated, destroy 10,000,000 acres more. The forest area of the country is less than 450,000,000 acres. At this rate we will in less than a quarter of a century have no forests. Whatever may come in the future from a change in the fuel question the demands for timber will increase as tbe coun try increases in population. The whole thing . seems to point to arboriculture on a large scale and systematically, and in no long -time either. A GOOD STAET. Local Securities Active nnd Some ot Them Score Advnncea.

Scnlpere nnd Pyker Do All the Oil Boil npR Field KfiTi. The oil market was barely steadyat tbe open ing yesterday. There was some scalping on differences in quotations between Pittsburg and other points, and some pyking by the local crowd, hut very little legitimate brokers' busi ness. There were no orders. The market sold down 3 of a cent without a single transaction, and back again with the same result. The range was: Opening, SI 06; highest, Jl 06H; lowest, Jl Oil 05. The close was weak. Sat urday's clearances were 12,000 barrels. i nere was notmng particularly new irom the field. J Ferguson farm, in the Shannopin 'district. Aiecnnn. urate uo.'s gusner, on ine which came in at a 500-barret rate a few- weoks ago, is now nillng three tanks a day, an equiva lent of about 700 barrels. This farm consists of abont500 acres. There arerow on U26 producing wells, having a dally production of from 15 to 700 barrels, and not a dry hole has yet been found in all the drilling. This is a record it would be pretty hard to beat: Contrary to first reports, the Axbuckle No. 3 in the Chartiers Valley field is not dry. It has 1,000 feet of oil standing In it and was tubed for pumplne. Tbe balcm Flack farm well of tbe South Penn Od Company in tbe Washington field is still holding up in good style, making about 500 barrels a day. Tbe Canonsburg Oil Company's Weaver lot well at Canonsburg has a fair showing of oil in the 50-foot. Lockwood A Co.'sl00-loot gusberjn the Butler field is pro ducing about 800 barrels a day and was given a shaking up yesterday. PETBOLEUMAKD GAS. West TIcw as the Camlnc Field for De velopmentA Looker-On Sara it la Moving; West Along; the Stenbenvillo Pike. A man who generally has bis eye on current happenings and developments, but who prefers to be anonymous, says of the West View oil and gas field, 4ying at the' back door of our Northside neighbor: " Since the development of tbe Ivory-Smith-Kleiman well at West View, operators in view of the big outcome and the quality of the oil, have come to regard this territory as the com ing field.for both gas and oil. The present w ell. which is now being piped by the Standard Oil Company is owned by Smith. Kleiman, Dr. i """ "r -v ....."? . v"""" "",'' 2!FrtiiS?'S g? cnlth-'S; Kleiman have leaoed IVacres from J. Falrley, 10 acres from ,M. OB, f0ram!Bquire Ivory; 16 from M.Ecan, 25 from L. Unit, 17 from J.Vf. Breen, making a total of nearly 200 acres, for which they have been offered and refused $78,000. Smith A Kleiman. who control these, want an even (150,000 or nothing. It embraces several "valuable tracts, bur' they are so' situ ated that unless developed soon they will be worthless, as a still larger syndicate to embrace Henry Phlpps, Jos. Keating, Ueo. Weitzel, Martin ZalVand, F. Setrick. W. Jenny, H. Shaker. John Allen, J. Hnff, H. Jtobinson and others control 211 acres which can "top" the other territory in short order. Mr. Walters, tbe pipe line agent, says no finer oil has been developed anywhere in 'Western Pennsylvania. Outside of thee "syndicates," "Commodore" Rogers has leased his 17 acres to Miller & Co.. M. Woog. late of the Monongahela Hou'e and tenant of the "Commodore." getting one-sixteenth and tbe Commodore one-sixteenth. No bonus. The Standard Oil Company has leased ten acres in Hahn's estate. Cemetery lane, for big royalty no bonus; and tbe Ray tract has been leased by tbe Bridgewater Company, while L Leebody leased to Dimlck and the Hotel Boyer. for 600 and one-eighth, and was offered five times that amount next day and tbe Aldinger patches have been leased for royalty and some bonus. The Kleiman South Pool are preparing to sink ten wells on their leases, while Huff is in a position to tap tbe whole pool. 'Squire Ivory is not troubling him self now about his grocery store or plank road stock, and Colonel Keating is about to build a pavilion to accommodate the rush which is now here and will be larger wben the electric railroad passes bis door to the Aldinger angle. There is a good deal of territory yet unleased, but the owners are asking too high figures at present to find a ready market. The territory as leased is so cut up that tbe first wells put down will tap the adjoining territory. It Miller fc Co. get down their well first nf what use is Eagan or South Deiman tracks on the same belt. If Roden baugh put down a well promptly it opens the Sonith Kleiman territory at the other end. If Rodel or Shiedy drill, where does tbe Ivoy ter ritory dome W7 If Weitzel or Jenny, or a half dozen others in that vicinity drill first, the Untz tract would be abandoned. And so it is a scramble all around, as who will get bis drill in first and the devil take tbe hinamost. Everything is on the boom our here just now, but tbis summer will determine whether it is really the pick oil and gas territory It is claimed to be, or whether it will be tbe champion dry hole territory. The oil men and residents have creat expectations, but wait a little, you can't always tell from tbo smoke tbe amount of pork in tbe meat house chimney. Operations are still very quiet on tbe south side of the river. In tbe Shannopin field a gusher seems to be received as a matter of course; it creates but little talk. It begins to look as though there would be some develop- m.nt lalr nf fttnniw' TTi w r Inn. Th. has been considerable sighting around of late by oil smellers and considerable leasing has been done. It is more cautiously done now than formerly, on account or the decision that such things are not all one-siced. Oil was struck on tbe James Riddle farm, on the Steubenville pike, on Saturday, but just bow much tbe strike is wortb has not been de termined. The well is considerably west of most development in that section. It is said that an agent for an oil company was on the ground soon after the well began operations and immediately entered into' -an agreement to buy the farm ot 06 acres at J300 an acre. As tbls is about three times the farming value of land in the section, tbe owner felicitated him self that a little spray had been a big thing for him, but in tbe ardorof the momenthe allowed the agent to bind the bargain for a dollar made a bargain with bnt one side to it. The well was playing 18 or 20 feet high in the der rick at tbe time yesterday morning, tbe agent was baclc, "bright and early." but by this time tlie-oplnion had developed that the well was not likely to be very large, nnd be concluded to forfciTthe dollar and let Mr. Riddle keep his farm. Had the latter known, it is supposed be might have been 100 richer instead of one just as readily. THE WASHINGTON-FIELD.

Rnllrond Shares Ucpresaed In Prospect of a Bate War In the West Influential Operators on the Bear Side. New York, February 17. Tie stock market to-day was more active, but feverish and weak, especially in tbe first and last hours, and material losses were sustained in some of the leading stocks, which were al most entirely the result of a determined at tack upon values by the Western operators, aided by the room traders. The ostensible reason for selling was the non success of tbe meeting of tbe Northwestern roads to Induce the Illinois Central to withdraw its reduced rates to Sioux City. The impres sion that the Illinois Central, Rock Island and Chicago, Burlington and' Q,ulncy are deter mined to force a fight prevailed and induced considerable selling on tbe part of tbe trading element. Tbe snpply of floating stocks on the street Is steadily growing smaller on account of the purchases ot moneyed men who take their storks out of the street. Tbe unfavorable bank statement of Saturday was the occasion of considerable bearish feel inc, and the liberal selling orders from Chicago met with a strong response from the local operators, and in the first Aalf hour prices went off rapidly. Rock Island, Chicago Gas and Cleveland. Cincinnati. Chicago and St. Louis lead the downward movement. Tbe recommendations by the committee in tbe case of tbe Pacific roads f undine bill tave Union Pacific a lift, and In conjunction with Sugar Refineries it n as especially strong in the face of the weakness of the general list, though the advances were small and unimportant. After tbe first drive was over tbe market settled down to dullness and stagnation, but nil the forenoon leveriihncss was a marked characteristic of the market. Toward delivery hour the news of the adjournment of tbe meet ing at Chicago was made Known ana was ac companied by a renewal of the drive of tbe morning, and Missouri Pacific, Rock Island and Sugar became specially weak, although everything share'd in the general decline. The lowest prices ot the day were reached, and the close was active and weak at tbe lowest figures. The specialties suffered severely, and Cleve land, Columbus, Cincinnati and St, Louis, Wisconsin Central and Kingston and Pem broke were most Conspicuous for the declines established.
