The annual meeting of the Switch and Sig nal Company will be hld this afternoon. THE Pennsylvania Railroad reoorts that the quantity of coal and coke originating on and carried over its lines east of Pittsburg and Erie for the week ending March i, was 327.273 tons, of which 2S0.33S tons wero coal and 96,915 tons coke. The Reading Railroad reports that its coal shipment (estimated) for the week ending March 8. was 100,000 tons, of which 13.000tons were sent to Port Richmond, and lu.00 tons were sent to Port Liberty. Conservative financiers in New York do not expect a monetary stringency there. They think the backs are several million dollars bet ter off than they were reported in Saturday's statement. The Chicago Board or Trade will follow the example of the New York Stock Exchange. On March 31 it will discontinue all quotation service. What adjustment will take place thereafter nobody knows. The remarks of President Roberts, in the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's annual re port, about the necessity for new capital, are generally considered to foreshadow a new issue of Itock this spring.

Messier Succeeds in Securing a Foothold on Smithfield Street. ANOTHER BIG DEAL CLOSED DP. The Old Story of Scarcity of Business Property Going the Rounds. A CANARD 0DT OP WHOLE CLOTH Another real estate mystery was unraveled yesterday by Black & Baird. A month or so ago it was reported they had sold Nos. 411 and 413 Smithfield street, two three story brick buildings and lot 40x60 to Thomas D. Messier, of the Pennsylvania Railroad, lor 580,000. This was an error both as to purchaer and price. But the coupling of his name with the transaction induced Mr. Messier to examine the prop erty, and being convinced that it was a good investment he concluded to make the pur chase, paying $72,500, or $1,812 50 a foot front. The deal was closed up and the deed passed yesterday. He will make extensive Im provements after the expiration of the present leases, which hare three years to run. Scarcely bad the above facts been seenred when the report was encountered to tho eifoct that Samuel W, Black &. Co. had closed the sale of a down-town business property for 560, 00a The firm admitted having made tho deal, but refused to give particulars at present. w "I see from the reports of the clearing houses of the country that Baltimore put us in the hole again last week." remarked a Fourth avenue bank officer yesterday. He added: "Baltimore has been doing an immense grain trade for some time, but I think the bulk of it is over, and that from this time on Pittsbury will out rank her. When it comes to regular business there Is no question of our superiority. We have distanced Cincinnati, will soon lead Balti more, and will then give St. Louis a race. We are alive and kicking." The story started about a year ago of a famine in business sites in Pittsburg is still going the rounds. It was enconntered a few days ago in a Baltimore publication. It was denied at the time, but that didn't prevent would-be rivals of this great industrial city from using it for all it was worth; and it is still doing duty to divert capital from this to other localities. There is no scarcity or business sites in Pitts burg, nor will there be for years to come, and all statements to the contrary are false, mis leading and injurious to the city. This class of property is abundant In every ward and on almost every street. It abounds in the very heart of the city, while the suburbs are full of it. Penn and Fifth avenue extension are lined with choice business sites. They abound in the First ward, and range in price from 51,000 to 5L500 afoot front. West of Wood to Ferry they are rated about the same. On Water street from Sixth to Wood they are held at 51,500 to 51,800 a foot, and from Wood, on Water, to Ferry, at $1,200 to Jl,50a As these are all choice locations, tho prices named are very reasonable. The lots fronting on Water street are very deep. Directors of the Sixth Street Suspension Bridge will hold a meeting next week to con sider propositions of the Pittsburg, Allegheny and Manchester Railway Company. One of the directors said yesterday that it had been about settled that the present structure could not be adapted to railway and other travel, and would undoubtedly be torn down. The gentleman thought the fate of the venerable structure would be practically decided -at the meeting next week. w Judge Blodgett, sitting in the United States Circuit Court at Chicago, has decided in a case brought by The Consolidated Roller Mill Com pany versus The Barnard fc Leas Manufactur ing Company, that the roller process patents mainly relied upon by tho Consolidated Com pany, being those of Gray, Odell and Bierk holz, could only be sustained for such special dovlces as they covered, and that the inventors entered the field at so late a date that they were not entitled to have the doctrine of equivalents enforced in their behalf. "The de cision will relieve a large number of millers from the fear of suits for infringment. The Philadelphia Stock Exchange has elected the following officers: President, Bushrod W. Adams; Secretary. J. G. Johnson; Chairman, Thomas G. Knight; Vice Chairman, William J. Morris; Governors (to serve three years), H. F. Barhman, Abraham Barker. George S. Fox, George A. Huhn, R. M. Janney, W. J. Peale, H. L. Townsend, H. H. Lee. S1GKS OP IMPROVEMENT. Stocks Illove Slowly, Bat n Good Feeling Among the Brokers, Stock trading yesterday was of the usual Monday proportions, sales being 330 shares, Dut the feeling was strong, which was an encour aging feature. The market developed no changes in conditions to make or unmake values. There is a good demand for nearly everything, and nothing Is pressed for sale. Improvement should follow Philadelphia gas made quite a bulge. but;iost a part of the aavance. Tne other natural gas stocks were steady and unchanged. Pittsburg Traction was the strong feature in its class, 40 being offered and refused. Tho others were inclined to heaviness. Electric and Luster were weaker. Switch ana Signal was stronger. Five shares of Pittsburg, Allegheny and Man chester Railway ere marketed at 290, the first movement in it for several months. HOItNIXO. apterkoox. Itlit. Asked. Hid. Asked, Pitts. P. B. & M.

The Most Bearish Pipe Llae Report la Throe Years. The pipe line report for February, posted yesterday, was rather bearish, showing a net reduction of stocks of only 174,000 barrels, the smallest of any month since June, 1SS7, when it was 142,000. The reduction of certificates was 28.766. Tbe market was dull from opening to finish, and fluctuations narrow. Jt was offered down soon after the opening. Oil City then turned buyer, and bulled It up to the highest point, but when this support was withdrawn the mar ket sagged, but recovered a fraction and closed abont steady. The extreme fluctuations were: Opening 94J& highest U, lowest 93, closing '1 he Sheffield district may redeem itself from the imputation of being prolific of dusters. Another good well has been brought in there. It is Horton, Crary & Co.'s No. i, on lot 196, which started off at 25 barrels an hour and is keeping up at that rate. The gnshers in the Hundred-foot district have declined to some extent, although the Wood A Young well has bad its production in creased by further drilling. The Brown 4 Fisher well is showing for about a 50-harrel producer, with the drill still going after an other pay streak. The Fleury well, not far from the Humphrey farm, is in and dry. Guffy & Co.'s No. 2, on the Lefever farm at Bakerstown, reached the sand and filled up 1,500 feet with oil, but has made no flow. The J. J. Huffman well, back in the country from Mouongabela City, drilled about a year ago, has-commenced spraying oil. While the flow is comparatively light, tbe oil is sain to be of the heaviest and most valuable quality. The J. C. Morris No. 3 well in the Mt. Morris field, owned by E. M. Hukill, which came in at 10 barrels an hour, is an important one. While not the most advanced well in the extended belt, it indicates an improvement in tho terri tory in that direction. The Transcontinental Association has re duced oil rates to the West from 51 25 to BO cents a hundred. This will hereafter be the new rate not only from Pittsburg, but from New York, Titusvllle and other oil shipping points In the East to as far west as the Mis souri river. It is tbe lowest rate that oil men have bad for a long time. The Standard Oil Company has a corps of men engaged who will at once begin the work of laying a new eight-inch pipe line between Lima. O., and Chicago. This new line is made necessary bythe largely increased demand for Lima oil, which has outgrown the capacity of the present line. MAY BE A BIG ONE. Tho Ferree Well Sets Some Cornopolltane Crazy Town Lot Being Leased for Baring Other Soaih- Ide Oil-Well Work. As stated on Saturday, the well on the George Ferree farm in Coraopolis borough is likely to make things crack in that village. The capaci ty of the hole was not known yesterday. It vomited oil at intervals on the floor of the der rick, and its manifestations were such as to make Mr. Ferree several thousandirdollars richer, if he had chosen to pnt his ground in the market. People were divided in opinion as to the probable outnut. The well has not been drilled in yet, and while somo said she was good for 25 barrels, others thought she would make 40 just as easily, while the irrepressible talked of 300 or 400 barrels a day. While no one could sit down and figure it out, there were people trying to lease town lots 50x150 feet which would barely give room for a rig and tank. Some citizens were measuring their back yards and trying to cut them so as to make room for rigs. Since tho Depp No. 2 was struck excitement bad abated in that section, but the Ferree well has put everything into a ferment again. Dorrington & Ewing are still trying to exhaust the salt water in Knopf No. L They have pumped with a per sistence worthy of success, getting enough oil, perhaps, to pay expenses. They shot the Scbmid well, near the Knopf, on Thursday, but the hole has not yet been cleared of the debris. The owner of the farm, Mr. Schmid, doesn't seem to have much hope of the well be ing a payer. Operations on the Depp No. 3 were frozen up on Wednesday at a depth of 1,520 feet. In a fow days, or weeks at furthest, Chartiers station, P. & L. E. R. R.. may be in the center of an oil districr. A well is going down on each side of it. One is on River avenue, not far from the city line. It is being put down by Hulmes, Criley &. Smith?. The other is the Urjan well, a few rods above the town, up Chartiers creek. It is down 1,000 feet. THIS IS BUSINESS. Mature Asked to Help Support thePaa pers ni the County Home, County Poor Director William H. Guy has been studying the Ferree oil well at Coraopolis for points. The reason thereof is that the County Home directory is thinking of boring for general results on the county poor farm, and Mr. Guy was appointed a committee of one to conduct negotiations with men who ransack tho bowels of the earth. Both experts and tbe witch hazel fork state that tbero is in all burran probability cither oil or gas under the farm, and either, if developed, would lighten the burden of supporting the lilies of McKees port and Sharpsburg. It is said those two cor porations furnish the bulk of tbe county's paupers. The matter will likely be definitely settled at the next meeting of the board. Mr. Guy has received an offer from a party which is highly advantageous to the poor farm management. Tho party offers to drill a well and If gas Is gotten to sell the well to the Homo for the actual cost or boring. Should oil bo rotten the contractor reserves it to himself, all except the royalty usually given. In case gas be found the fuel will bo largely consumed by the Home, and any surplus can be readily dis posed of. ASOTHEU ADVANCE IS LIMA OIL. Result of a War Betvr rea the Standard and Independent Refiners. IPPKCIAl. TZXKGBAM TO TUB UISPATCtt.! FindZiAY, O., March la There was much excitement here this morning among oil oper ators and tho prodncers caused by tho advance In tbe price to 21 cents per barrel by the Standard Oil Company when its agents found that the independent buyers were offer ing 20)4 cents for the product The advance by the Standard last week to 20 cents per barrel, after having kept the price down to 15 cents for three years, was brought about by the desire to shut out tbe independent buyers in the field, but these gen tlemen were gamo and this morning raised the price on the Standard half a cent per barrel. The Standard then put the price to 21 cents, but the war is on, and it is freely predicted that Ohio oil will command 30 cents by Saturday nignt. thus doubling the price within a week. There is much feeliug here and tbe oil boom is on in all its intensity. Scramble for Oil Lense. There was quite a scramble yesterday for leases for oil territory in the vicinity of the new Gaffy well at Montour. James W. Drape has leased about 56 acres of his farm, which adjoins the new. venture, and secured a cash bonus of 54.000, with a graded royalty from one-eighth to one-fourth of the oil.

They Boom the Big Conlcr to Get Ont of a Tight Place Heaviest Trnnsnctlon Since the Oregon Trnns- comlnentnl Drnl. Nf.tv York. March 10. There was little of the stock market to-day outsido of dealings in Reading, though a few stocks in sympathy with that stock showed marked -strength at times. The fear of tho consequences of tho comple tion of tbe deal, however, kept the general list in a feverish and generally unsettled condition throughout the day, and a raid by the bears in the last hour upon the easing off of the pres sure upon the shorts in Reading resulted in wiping out most of the early gains in the rest of the list. The shorts in Reading this morning found themselves in a tight place, and not since tbe Oregon Transcontinental deal have there been such heavy transactions in any one stock, nor wide an interest taken in any deal. Duringthe forenoon, at least, the corner in Reading ab sorbed tbo entire attention of the street, and out of a total of 171,000 shares listed stocks traded in over 127,000 were in Reading, and for the first hour over 50.000 shares of that stock were dealt in. For the day it furnished 256,440 shares out of 379,693, or about two-thirds of the entire business in listed stocks. The record for one stock is certainly eclipsed by this. A large crowd gathered in the stock beforo tbe opening, and everyone was bidding with no stock apparently for sale. The price rose from 3SK to 40. when the bidding for cash lots began, and, while sales regular way were mado as high as 41 cash sales were run to 42. and tbe difference at times was even larger than that. Tho bidding for cash lots continued very urgent up to noon, after which there was less demand lor it nntil 2 p. M., but In the last hour very little of the stock was sold that way. Beyond the movements mentioned there was little in to-day's market, and dullness and stag nation woro a feverish tone. Sugar was an ex ception, however, and while it ran off at first, a material advance followed, most nf which was retained at the close. Louisville, New Albany and Chicago was conspicuous for one of its sharp advances, and Union Pacific and Tennes see Coal were weak. Railroad bonds were slightly more active, but outside of Reading 4s, which, after opening up, lost all of tbe Improvement, tbero was little fea ture to the trading. The sales reached 1,324, 000. The tone of tbe market was steady, but there were a few marked movements. There were a few losses, and Louisville, New Albany and Chicago firsts declined 2 to 117, and Peoria, Decatur and Evansville seconds oK to 66. The Post says: Of course this heavy manipu lation of Reading has no reference whatever to the value or prospects of the propertj', or to the prospects of the' general stock market. It is merely the endeavor of parties, who have got loaded up with Reading, to get rid of it without loss. To do this they must first put up the price, and theu try to sell out on each other for the public will not buy it. The proof of the artificial character of tbe price to-dav was that while tbe stock, of which there is 539,500,000, was selling at 40J& tbe third preference incomes, of which there are 518,500,000, that come ahead of the stock were selling at tbe same instant at36K. But aside from the Reading manipulation, there was a stronger feeling developed in the general market to-day. As mentioned on Sat urday, Lackawanna is also quite largely over sold, and the supply of stock in tbe street is small because it has been absorbed lor invest ment. The granger stocks are all still oversold to some extent and now that tbe latest and most trustworthy information Is that the Chi cago roads are all likely to come into tbe new Inter-State Association, the prospects are that there will have to bo a covering of shorts in those before long, which will advance their prices more than the same thing has done in Reading. The monetary situation is tbe most serious obstacle to an advance in the stock market and while there may not be any very decided ad vance, all things considered the chances are largely m favor of higher prices yet in March than any in Febrnary.

There are no new developments in the cereal situation since oar last reports Wheat and shell corn show tendencies toward an upward movement. In the Northwest values of wheat and flour have advanced within a few days and holders have grown much firmer in their views. There has been of late a scare as to prospects of winter wheat for which tho weather is re sponsible, and speculators arc making the most of it in pushing a bull movement. It is many years since prices of wbeat and flour have re mained stationary so long as this season, and bulls, wbose occupation has beengone for some time, are disposed to make the most of their present opportunity.

At first bands, demand was on about previous scale, replenishing orders being conservative. The condition of tbe market was unchanged, goods continuing to be shipped out as fast as received, and the tone being well sustained both on account of the quantity of goods sold and because of tho still increasing cost of cotton. Print cloths and some colored cottons are dull and weak but the general market is not affected thereby. SICK. RKADACHi,Cjirler,g UMIe UTerrulJ. SICK nEADACHECarter,s Little Liver Pills.
