THE HISTOEI OP THE GAMESTER'S LIFE
rfFECIAL TZLZORAM TO THI PISFATCB.I
"New Yobk, Feb. 22. A decided sensa
tion was proanced in this city and in Brook
lyn: to-day, by Dr. Talmage's announce
ment of a series of sermons which he .pro
poses to preach on "The Ten Plagncs of
These Three Cities." In this sermon, which
is the first of theserie6, he pays his attention .
to the prevalent curse of gambling. He
preached it in the Academy of Music in
Brooklyn in the morning, and acain this
evening at the service in this city. His text
was taken from Eiodus Ix.: 13, 14: Let
rny people go that they may serve me; for I
will at this time send all my plagues."
Last winter in tbe Museum at Cairo, Egypt.
1 saw the mummv or embalmed body of Pha
raoh, the oppressor of the ancient Israelites.
Visible are the very teeth that he clashed
against the Israelitish brick-makers, the sock
ets of the merciless exes with which he looked
upon the overburdened people of God, the
hair that floated in the breeze off the Red Sea,
the very lips with which ho commanded them
to make bricks without straw. Tbonsands of
vears after, when the wrappings of the raum
inv were unrolled, old Pharaoh lifted up his
arm as if in imploration, .but his skinny
bones cannot acain clutch his shat
tered scepter. It was to compel that
tyrant to let the oppressed go free
that the memorable ten Dlagues were sent.
Sailing the Nile and walking amid the ruins of
Egyptian cities, I saw no remains of those
plagues that smote the water or the air. None
of the t roc-s croaked in the one. none of the
locusts sounded their rattle in tbe other, and
the cattle bore no sign ot the murrain, and
through the starrv night hovering about tho
S
lyrainldsnouestrovingangei swept ma ivinp
int thprp are ten ulatrues "till stinsring and be-
f nnlini- and cnrsinc our cities and like anrels of
wrath smiting not only the first born but the
last born.
The Three Cities Are One.
Brooklyn, New York and Jersey City, though
called three, are practically one. The bridge
already fastening two of them together will be
followed by other bridges and by tnnnels from
both New Jersey and Long Island shores; until
what is true now win, as the years go by, be
come more emphatically true. The average
condition ot public morals in this cluster of
cities is as good if not better than in any other
part of the world. Pride of city is natural to
men. in all times, if they live or have lived in a
metropolis noted for dignity or prowess. Caesar
boasted of his native Borne; Lycurgus of
Sparta; Virgil of Andes; Demosthenes of
Athens; Archimedes of Syracuse, and Paul of
Tarsus. I should suspect a man of base-beart-edncs
v. ho carried abont with him no feeling
or complacency in regard to tbe place of bis
residence; who gloried not in its arts, or arms,
or behavior: who looked with no exultation
upon its evidences of prosperity, its artistic
embellishments and its scientific attainments.
Grand old New York! What Southern thor
oughfare was ever smitten by pestilence, when
our phv6iclans did not throw themselves upon
the sacrifice! What distant land has cried out
in the agony of famine, and our ships have not
put out with bread'tulfs! What street of
Damascus, or Beyrout. or Madras that has not
heard the step of our missionaries! What
struggle for national life, in which our citizens
have not poured their blood into the trenches!
"What gallery of exqnisiio art. in which our
painters hae not hung their pictures! What
department of literature or science to which
our scholars have not contributed! I need not
speak of our public schools, where tbe children
of tbe cordwainer, and milkman, and glass
Mower stand by the side of tbe flattered sons
of merchant princes; or of tbe insane asylums
on all thee islands, where they who went
cutting themselves, among the tombs now sit,
clothed and in their right minds; or of tho
Magdalen asylums, where the lost one of the
Etreet comes'to bathe the Savior's feet with her
tears, and wipe them witrn ibe hairs of her
Jiead confiding in the pardon of Him who
said: "Let him who is without sin cast the
first stone at her." I need not speak of the In
stitutions for the blind, the lame, tbe deaf and
dumb, lor tbe incurables, tne wiaow, ine
orphan, and the outcast; or of the thousand
armed machinery that sends streaming down
from the reservoirs the clear, bright, f paneling,
God-given water that rushes through our
aqueducts, and dashes out of the hydrants,
and tosses up in our fountains, and hisses in
our steam engines, and showers out tbe con
flagration, and sprinkles from the baptismal
font of our churches; and with silver note, and
colden sparkle, and crystalline chimes, says to
hundreds of thousands of our population, in
the authentic words of Him who said: "I will;
be thou clean:"
The Plague of Gambling.
All this I premise In opening this course of
sermons on the Ten Plagues of these Three
Cities, lest some stupid man might say I am
depreciating the place of my residence. I speak
to you to-dav concerning the Plague of
Gambling. Every man and woman in this
houe ought to be interested in this theme.
Some years ago. when an association tor the
suppression ot gambling was organized, an
agent of the association came to a prominent
citizen and asked him to patronize the society.
He said: "No, I can have no interest in sneb an
organization. I am in no wise affected by that
evil." At that very time, his son. who was his
partner in business was one of the heaviest
slayers in Hear no's famous gambling establish
ment. Another refused his patronage on the
same ground, not knowing that bis first book
keeper, tbongh receiving a salary of only 1,000,
was losing from $00 to $100 per night The
president of a railroad company refused to pat
ronize the institution, saying: "That society is
good for the defense of merchants, but we rail
road people are not injured by this evil;" not
Knowing that, at that very time, twe of his con
ductors were spending three nights of each
week at faro tables in New York. Directly or
Indirectly, this evil strikes at the whole world.
Gambling is the risking of something more or
less valuable in the hope of winning more than
you hazard. The instruments of gaming may
differ, but the princinle is the same. The shuf
fling and dealing cards, however, full of temp
tation, is not gambling, unless stakes are put
np; while on the other band, gambling may be
carried on without cards or dice, or billiards or
a ten-pin alley. The man who bets on horses,
on elections, on battles the man who deals in
fancy" stocks, or conducts a business which
hazards extra capital, or goes into transactions
without foundation, but dependent npon what
men call '"luck," is a gambler. Whatever vou
expect to get from your neighbor without offer
ing an equivalent in money, or time or skill, is
cither the product of theft or gaming. Lottery
tickets and lottery policies come into the same
category. Fairs for the founding of hospitals,
schools and encrcbes, conducted on the raffling
evstem, come under the same denomination.
Do not, therefore, associate gambling neces
sarily with any instrument, or game, or time or
place, or think tne principle depends upon
whether you play for a glass wine, or 100 shares
of railroad stock. Whether you patronize
'"auction pools." "French mutcals.' or "book
making," whether you employ faro or billiards,
rondo and kenn, cards or bagatelle, the very
idea of the thing is dishonest; for it profeses
to bestow upon you a good for which you give
no equivalent.
The Sumptuous Haunts "of bin.
It is estimated that everyday in Christendom
50,000.000 pass from band to hand through
gambling practices, and every year in Christen,
dom $123,100,000,000 change bands in that way.
There are in this cluster of cities about 800 con
fessed gambling establishments. There are
about 3.500 professional gamblers. Out of the
t60 gambling establishments, how many of
them do vou suppose profess to be honest? Ten.
These ten professing to be honest because they
arc merely tbe ante-chamber to the 790 that
are acknowledged fraudulent. There are first
cla's gambling establishments. You coup tbe
marble stairs. Yon ring tbe bell. The liveried
servant introduces you. The walls are lavender-tinted.
The mantels are of Vermont mar
ble. The pictures are "Jephthah's Daughter.'
and Dorc's "Dante's and Virgil's Frozen Re
gion of Hen." a most appropriate selection,
this last, for the place. There is the roulette
table, tbe finest, the costliest, most exquisite
piece of furniture in the United States. There
is tbe banqueting room, where, free of charge
to tbe guests, you may find the plate, the
viands, and wines, and cigars, sumptuous be
yond parallel.:
Then yon come to the second class gambling
establishment. To it ynu are introduced by a
card "brongh some "roper-in." Having entered,
yon must either gamble or fight. Sauded cards,
dice loaded with quicksilver, poor drinks, will
soon help yu to get nd of all your money to a
tune in abort meter with staccato passages.
Yiu wanted to toe. You saw. The low vil
lains of that place watch xou as you come in.
Does not the panther. qut in tbe grass, know
a calf when he se s it? Wrangle not fur your
rights in that place, or your b'idy will be
thrown bloodv into the street, or dead into the
Eat river. You go along a little further and
find the policv establishment. In that place
joubet ou numbert. Betting on two numbers
is called a "saddle;" betting on three numbers
ts called a "gig." betting oa four numbers is
led a "horse," and there are thousands of
our y?wS ,;is'' '"pin Into that "-addle," and
mounting that "gig." and behind that "horse,"
riding to perdition. There is always una kind
of sign on the door "Exchange;" a most ap
propriate title lor the door, for there, in that
room, a man exchanges health, peace and
heaven, for loss of health, loss of home, loss, ot
family, loss of immortal soul. Exchange sure
enough and infinite enough.
The Infernal Spell Upon nim.
A young man, having suddenly heired a large
property, sits at the hazard table, and takes up
in a dice box, the estate won by a father's life
time sweat, and shakes It, and tosses it away.
Intemperance soon stigmatizes its victim
kicking him out, a slavering fool, into tho ditch,
or sending him, with the drunkard's hiccough,
staggering up tbe street where his family lives.
But gambling does not in that way expose its
victims. The gambler may be eaten up by the
gambler's passion,yet you only discover it by the
greed in his eyes, the hardness' of his features,
tbe nervous restlessness, tbe threadbare coat
and bis embarrassed business, "f et he Is on
the road to bell, and no preacher's voice or
startling warning, or wife's entreaty, can make
him stay for a moment his headlong career.
Tbe infernal spell is on him; a giant is aroused
within: and though you bind him with cables,
they would part like thread; and though you
fasten him seven times aronnd with chains,
they would snap like rusted wire; and though
yon piled up in his path heaven-high Bibles,
tracts and sermons, and on the top should set
tbe cress of the Son of God, over them all tho
gambler would leap, like a roe over the rocks,
on his way to perdition.
Again, this sin works ruin by killing indus
try. A man used to reaping scores, or hun
dreds, or thousands of dollars from the gaming
table will not be content with slow work. He
will sav, "What is the use of trying to make
these 50 in my store when 1 can get five times
that in half an hour down at 'Billy's' T" You
never knew a confirmed gambler who was in
dustrious. The men given to this vice spend
their time not actively employed in the game,
in idleness or intoxication, or sleep, or In cor
rupting new victims. This gin has dulled the
carpenter's saw, and cut tbe baud of the fac
tory wheel, sunk the cargo, broken the teeth of
tbe farmer's harrow and sent a strange light
ning to shatter tbe battery of the philosopher.
The very first idea in gaming is at war with all
tbe industries of society.
This crime is getting its lever under many a
mercantile house in our great cities, and before
long down will come tbe great establishment,
crushing reputation, home, comfort and im
mortal souls. How It diverts and sinks capital
may be inferred from some autnen tic statement
betore us. The ten gaming bouses that once
were authorized In Paris passed through tho
banks, yearly, 825,000,000 Irancs. Where does
all tbe money come from? Tbe whole
world is robbed! What is most sad,
there are no consolations for tbe loss
and suffering entailed by gaming. If
men fail in lawful business, God pities and so
ciety commiserates; but where in the Bible or
in society is there any consolation for the
gambler? From what tree of the forest oozes
there a balm that can soothe the gamester's
uearir an mat uuuu nucic uw ara ..
tears of His children, are there any tears of the
gambler? Do tbe winds that come to kiss tbe
faded cheek of sickness and to cool tbe heated
brow of the laborer whisper hope and cheer to
tbe emaciated victim of the game of hazard?
When an honest man is in trouble he has sym
pathy. "Poor fellow!" they say. But do
gamblers come to weep at the agonies of the
gambler?
Many Crimes Caused Thereby.
But the dishonesties in the carrying on of tbe
game are nothing when compared with tbe
frauds which are committed in order to get
money to go on with the nefarious work.
Gambling, with its greedy hand, has snatched
away the widow's mite and the portion of the
orphans; bas sold the daughter's virtue to get
tbe means to continue tbe game: has written
the counterfeit signature, emntied the nanker's
money vault and wielded the assassin's dagger.
There is no depth of meanness to which it will
not stoop. There is no cruelty at whicb It is
appalled. There is no warning of God that it
will not dare. Merciless, unappeasable, fiercer
and wilder it blinds, it hardens.it rends, it blasts,
it crushes, it damns. It bas peopled our pris
ons and lunatic asylums. How many railroad
agents and cashiers and trustees of funds it
has driven to disgrace, incarceration and sui
cide! Witness vears ago a cashier of a railroad
who stole $103,000 to carry on his gaming prac;
tices. Witness 540,000 stolen from a Brooklyn
bank within tbe memory of many of you, and
tbe 5180,000 taken from a Wall street insurance
company for the same purpose! These are only
illustrations on a largo scale of the robberies
every day committed for the purpose of carry
ing out the designs of gamblers. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars every year leak out with
out observation from tbe merchant's till Into
the gambling hell. A man in London keeping
one of these gambling houses boasted that be
had ruined a nobleman a day; but if all tbe
saloons of this land were to speak out, they
might utter a more infamous boast, for they
have destroyed 1.000 noble men a year.
Notice also tbe effect of this crime upon
domestic happiness. It has sent its ruthless,
plowshare through hundreds of families, until
tho wife sat in rags and the daughters were dis
graced and the sons grew up to the same infa
mous practices or took a shorten to destruc
tion across the murdeter's scaffold. Home bas
lost all charms for the gambler. How tame are
the children's caresses and a wife's devotion to
tbe gambler! How drearily tbe fire burns on
the domestic hcartM There must be loude
laughter, and something to win and something
to lose; an excitement to drive the heart faster
and fillip the blood and fire tbe imagination.
No home, however bright, can keep back tbe
gamester. The sweet call of love bounds back
from his iron soul, and all endearmen are
consumed in the flame of his passion. The
family Bible will go afte' all other treasures
are lost, and if his crown in heaven were put
into hit hsfld be would cry: "Here goes one
more game, my boysl On this one throw I stake
my crown of heaven." A young man in London
on coming of age received a fortune of $120,000,
and, through gambling, in three years was
thrown on his mother for support.
The History of the Gambler.
Shall I sketch the history of the gambler?
Lured by bad company he finds his way into a.
place where honest men ought never to go. He
sits down to his first game bat only for pas
time and the desire of being thought sociable.
The players deal out the cards. They uncon
sciously play into Satan's hands who takes all
tbe tricks and both the players' souls for
trumps hi being a sharper at any game. A
slight stake is pul up just to add interest to
tbeplav. Game after game is placed. Larger
stakes "and still larger. They begin to move
nervously on thel' chairs. Their brows lower
and eyes flash, until now they who win and
they who lose, fired alike with passion, sit with
set jaws and compressed lips and clenched
fists, and eyes like fire-ballsthat seem starting
from their sockets to see the final turn before
it comes; if losing, pale with envy and tremu
lous with unuttered oaths cast back red-hot
upon the heart or, winning, with hysteric
laugh "Ha! ha! I have it I I have It V
A few years have passed and he is only the
wreck of a man. Seating himself at the game
ere he throws the first card, be stakes tbe last
relic of his wife, and tbe marriage ring which
sealed the solemn vows between them. The
game is lost, and staggering back in exhaus
tion he dreams The bright hours of tbe pst
mock his agony, and in his dreams fiends with
eyes of tire and tongue of flame circle about
him with joined hands, to dance and sing their
orgies with hellish chorns. chanting "Haill
brother!" kissing his clammy forehead until
their loathsome locks, flowing with serpents
crawl into his bosom and sink their sharp fangs
and suck np his life's blood, and coiling around
bis heart pinch it with chills and shudders un
utterable. To a gambler's dcatbbed comes no hope. He
will probably die alone. His former associates
come not nigh his dwelling. When the honr
comes bis miserable soul will go out of a mis
erable life into a miserable eternity. As his
poor remains pass tbe bouse where he was
mined, old companions maylook out a moment
and say: "There goes the old carcass dead at
last," but tbey will not get up from the table.
Let him down now Into bis grave. Plant no
tree to cast a shade there, for the long, deep,
eternal gloom that settles there Is shadow
enough. Plant no "forget-me-nots" or eglan
tines around the spot, for flowers were not
made to grow on such a blasted heath. Visit
it not in tbe sunshine, for that would be .mock
ery, but in tbe dismal night when no stars are
out and tbe spirits of darkness come down
horsed on the wind, then visit the grave of tbe
gambler.
Drygoods Market.
New York, Feb. 21. There was compara

three-yard sheetings wide sheetings, fine
bleached goods denims, tickings prints ging
hams and printed dress cottons were in good
demand.

FEATURES OF TRADE.

PRODUCE AND GROCERIES SLOW.
The Hide Situation Is Practically as It Was
a Week Ago.

OFFICE OF PrTTSBTTRO DISPATCH, J
Saturday; Feb. 2L i
Trade and Floods.
Volume of trade in produce and grocery
lines has been very much curtailed tbe past
week by the floods At least two days were
lost by high waters, and the time remaining
has failed to make up for that which was
lost. The principal features of the week
in produce lines were the drop in eggs
and the advance in creamery butter. Eggs
are 7c per dozen lower than a week ago, and
not a-few investors in this line were forced
to unload at a loss A leading dealer reports
prices to-day at 16c per dozen, and yet 18c was
considered low a week ago.
While eggs have droppedV'lancy creamery
butter has been moving upward. Choice but
ter bas now reached a figure that helps oleo,
and the latter is selling much more freely for a
few days past. When the jobbing price of
creamery butter eoes above SOc per pound the
average citizen refuses to indulge. In grocery
lines, tbe volume of trade for tho week has been
light, and prices remained essentially un
changed. Sugars are tbe uncertain quantity,
in view of the fact that they go on the free list
April L
The labor troubles in tho.coke regions andbad
condition of country roads have, no doubt, had
much to do with light volume of trade.
The Hide market.
Tbe hide situation bas not materially changed
since our report a week ago. Transactions
have not been as large this week as last, but
prices are maintained. There was heavy buy
ing a week or two ago and tanners are well sup
plied. Thoneb demand has not been so active
for tbe past few days there-are no indications
of a decline in pnees.

The Cattle Supply.
The following letter of R. M. Allen, of Ames,
Neb., general manager of tbe Standard Cattle
Company, to the Chjcago breeders' Gazette,
will no doubt be of interest to all live stock
dealers:
I have just read in your issue of the24th ult. a
letter from Mr. T. L. Miller regarding the
marketing of cattle. I do not see how an one
can possibly expect to secure a simultaneous
holding back of cattle from shipmen among
the countless number oi shippers spread over
a vast region. Cattlemen either sbip cattle to
meet obligations or because they are fit for
market. They have good and urgent reasons
for shipping. As for cattle beingover-marketed
and not over-produced, one might as well talk
of a pipe continuously discharging more water
at one end than is admitted into it at the "th ..
Cattle certainly might be marketed in too great
numbers for some short period of time, but if
this is true we shall so much themo-n get tbe
benefit of It when tbe conseq t depiction of
the total number has resulted.
As far as tb. dressed beefm -c are concerned,
wby should they, during the last five years,
have contended and competed with eac t other
for caul-- when th ir necessities have been
more than snppl'e . by the average dally re
ceipts! Whetu).'ornolsoie combination or
agreement exists btw e" them no one ca'i tell;
but if it does wha. then? When the number
of cattle marl: Jrd is not sufficient for tbe de
mands of th. trade, their combination will do
tbem no good. If there proves to be an active
demand they canuot hold prices down below
tbe natural point, for if tbey were to attempt
to there would be margin enough In the busi
ness for any one who pleased to go Into it. At
the present day the dressod beef men have a
partial monopoly because they only are able to
practice the economies which are necessary to
secure a margin of profit.
Mr. Miller says that there is no one that will
question that there is a shortage of cattle. We
all hope there is but nobody knows whether
there is or not; and it is perfectly plain that the
shortage of cattle on farms has absolutely no
effect whatever on tbe price of beef cattle at
market so long as tbe supplies continue as tbey
have. The shortage must be ielt at the mar
ket, not estimated or gnessed at back on the
farms When this shortage shall have made
itself thoroughly felt on the market, and if it is
great enough to hold the price of cattle up for
a long period, we shall forget all about tbe re
lation of the dressed beef men to the price of
cattle, with which they really have very little
to do.

MINNEAPOLIS The market wis firm on
good country wheat to-day, with sales of No. 1
Northern running about KSlc under the May
price, and some selections going above lit ; ln
range for this grade was from 93HW4f0'
very fancy; poor wheat was generally slow to
place, except the better qualities Loal mill
ers were good buyers and considerable was
picked up to be shipped out. The tables were
generally cleaned uo early. Tbe receipts are
running light, and with about half as much go
ing out as is coming in it leaves hardly enough
to go around, bringing out more demand for
elevator wheat. Closing quotations: No. 1 hard,

NEW T0EK STOCKS.
Shares Continue Dull, but Are Moderately
Bullish Slim Prospect of Legislation
Depresses Silver Mobile and Ohio
Up Susquehanna Is Down.
New York, Feb. 2L There was no expecta
tion of anything more than a dull and listless
market this morning, and no one was disap
pointed, many brokers falling to put in an ap
pearance, and the floor for a long time pre
sented a deserted appearance, while the trad
ing was strictly in accordance. The room was
inclined to tbe bull side for the most part, but
just before the bank statement appeared there
was shown a disposition to discount an unfavor
able showing, and the final dealings were
marked by a weaker tone.
Tbe opening was firm, reflecting the general
sentiment, and in tho early trading further
slight adritces were scored among the
Grant eM. St. Pal, Rock Island and Burlington
Ebowl.ig so'ie animation. Silver however, was
weak, tb; general indications bei-.g that no
further legislation favorable to the silver in
terest will be allowed to go through this ses
siou. Mobile and Ohio was pron,.nent among
tbe low-pricedsbares, advancing from 36 to
39c on reports of favorable developments to
come out and good earnings of the road. On
tbe other band, the Susquenanna stocks were
sharply depressed, tbe common falling from
10 to 9c, and theprefoired f rom 37 to 34c,
though a partial recovery took place later.
Tiie theory of the movement in these stocks
is that certain of tbe insiders have been en
deavoring to secure options on the stock in or
der to take advantage of the pending deal, but
failing to secure the options, tried to depress it
in the market to buy. The market was totally
devoid of other feature, and the close was
rather heavy at insignificant changes for the
day. Mobile and Ohio is up 1J4. but the Sus
quehanna and Western preferred is off 3 and
the common 1.

and prices still show a downward tendency.
Sales are reported to-day as low as 16c for job
lots. Klgin creamery butter is firm at the
recent advance, but demand light because .of
high prices. Tbe average consumer prefers
buttenne to butter when tbe latter goes as high
as present quotations. -Cheese is very firm at
outside quotations for choice stock. In lines

SEVERAL MORE GUSHERS
SPOIL THE CALCULATIONS OF THOSE WHO
WAHTED GOOD PEICES.
Openings In the Wildwood Field ThatTVlll
Have an Important Effect Production
at Other Points Declining With a Ten
dency to Curtail Work. '
Tbe great oil industry for-the past week
has been invested with much interest and
importance, both in field developments, and
from a commercial standpoint. The revela
tions of the drill have again changed the
aspect of affairs, and just when the.situation
was assuming a basis to warrant and Justify
a better price for crude,, three or four gushers
make their advent and for the time blight all
hope and prospects in this direction.
The Greenlee & Forst well on the Alston
farm, better than a quarter of a mile in ad
vance of developments on theiSouthwest line
of the Wildwood field is withont qnestion the
most important in field events. With very
few exceptions tbe verdict of practical opera
tors, and others who claim a geological
knowledge of white sand pools, was In effect
that while they admittea tbe possibility of
good territory and fair wells in advance ot the
marks and Ringheisen developments, tbey
never predicted a gusber of such magnitude as
tbe Alston surprise. A personal gauge of tbe
well Saturday at 4:15 P. M made its production
iWf, menes an bour or auoui iu oarreis.
u'be McCurdy fifth sand pool bas also during
the week loomed into prominence by two
wells of more than ordinary caliber being
added to the completedlist. The Aiken & Co.'s
well on the Parsonage lot, came on the be
ginning of the week. Murphy & Galley's
Church lot well made a fine finish and is by
odds the best well in the pool. The sitnation
in other sections of the;Southwest practically
remains unchanged. It may be said, however,
that at other points, with the exception of
Mannington, the production is declining,
and the general tendency is to curtail new
work.
It cannot be said there has been any Improve
ment in tbe commercial situation, and perhaps
at uo period within the past decade has the
vital interests of tbe producers and the general
stability of tbe trade been involved as at pres
ent. Tbe Bnrdick bill, now before the Legisla
ture, is the all.absorblng topic and overshadows
everything else pertaining to the industry. The
coming week will be eventfnl in tbe history of
oleaginous legislation, ana snouiu tne measure
become a law in its present form will undoubt
edly mark a new era In tbe petroleum trade
Wildwood The well on the Bryant farm at
Bryant station is attracting some attention
just now. By a majority of the operators in
the Wildwood field the location of this well did
not inspire tbem with any great hopes of a tig
well. The present status of the venture is such
that more confidence in this quarter of the
field is exhibited even by tbe most skeptical
producer in tbe field. Saturday tbev found a
second pay, and the well made a flow of 17
inches in a 250 tank. They shut down
to move out tbe boiler and make connections,
and when the well Is drilled deeper tbe pro
duction'may be improved. It is reported tbat
tbe well on tbe Shaw farm is through both the
third and fourth sands, and its name 13 Dennis.
The next well due at the front is located on the
Jenney farm, a quarter of a mile southwest,
and in advance of tbe Alston farm well and
owned by Dibert. J. M. Guffy & Co. have mat
ters in good shape again at their Heidelberg
well, and it will only be a short time until the
resnlt of this Important well is known.
Greenlee A Forst bave made four more loca
tions on the Alston farm and are expediting
worK witn an possiDie vim. aneir 10. x, on tne
McGabeyfarm, is doing 16 inches per hour, and
No. 2, same farm, four inches an hour. The
Mandeville A Evabs well on the Marks farm is
through the sand and doing 100 barrels a day.
Roth & Jenning, on tbe Peepbles belrs, are
drilling in the blue Monday and expect to cut
the melon abont Tuesday.
Griffith & Cn.'s Ringheisen No. 5 is 20 feet in
the sand, with the bole full of oil and salt
water, while No. 4 is showing no change from
our last report. The Roth Oil Company's well,
on the Kyle, is still blowing off gas, and A. C
Dibert & Co., on tbe Semple lot, near White
sell No 2, are in the bine Monday, and with
ordinary luck will Una the sand on Tuesday.
McDevitt & Co. are rigging up at No. 3 Guyton.
and will bounce tbe drill to-morrow. The com
ing week will bring forth some important re
sults on the Southwest line. The Harbusb No.
11 and the Alston well bave increased the pro
duction of tbe field to 9,000 barrels a day.
McCURDY There's nothing new to report
from McCurdy since the Murphy & Galley well
came in on tbe Church lots. Following are the
gauges of tbeimportant wells: Palmer No. L 600
barrels a day; Palmer No. 2, 1,250 barrels a day;
Parsonage lots. 500 barrels a day; McCuruy
Nos. 4 and 5 and tbe Kanawha Oil Company's
well will be due this week.
Bridgeville Robblns & Graham's well on
the Alexander farm, will make a 100-barrel pro
ducer from tbe Gordon sand.
Evergreen The well on the Thompson
farm, owned by Harry Highlands, is pumping
abont five barrels a day. This well is located
seven miles southwest from Semple station and
two miles west from Guffy's well on Little
Pine creek.
Bakerstown In the old Bakerstown field
and vicinity there is considerable activity for
this time in the year. As soon as good weather
sets in, and roads are in better condition, there
will be quite a lot of new work started. The
Butchers Oil Company's No. 4, on the Richard
son farm, is in the sand about three feet and
showing some oil. It will most likely make a
good well on deeper drilling. Their No. L on
the Mrs. Kerneban farm, is drilling in tbe
boulders. Joe Millison Sc Co., on tbe Patton
property, have gotlthe tools out of tbeir well,
and are now In tbe Blue Monday. The well on
the Mrs. Mahen farm is 12 feet in
the sand, and showing for a well.
The Cbartiers Oil Company are starting a well
on the Kyle farm, and have another upon the
Mrs. George Hays farm ready for the drill.
Joe Millison and Calhoun have a rig about fin
ished on the William Allison tract, while the
well on the Wesley Monks farm is in the salt
sand. Christie & Crosbv on tbe Absalom Monks
farm are drilling at LOGO feet, and Ireland &
Hughes on tbe Martin farm are down 700 feet,
and shut down waiting for cable. Tbe Cbartiers
Oil Company's No. 3 Bob Jack is In the 100-foot
sand, and their No. 4 same farm has reached a
depth of 1,150 feet. Millison & Co. have a well
on tbe William Jack farm drilling at 1,150 feet.
Tbe Reed farm wildcat well has received its
last string of casing. This well is located two
miles east from Bakerstown and two and a half
miles sonth of tbe old Montgomery develop
ments. Painter & Co., on the Levis farm, are
pulling tbe casing out of their old gas well ana
will ream down, shut off the salt water and drill
tbe well deeper.
Oil City "Operations in Venango county
are very limited, but developments will be
quite active as soon as spring opens up. Ed S.
Gdss, who for tbe past seven or eight years has
been engaged in the capacity of news agent on
the Valley road, had the eood luck to strike a
ten-barrel well at Sedgwick station just below
Oil City. Mr. Goss. elated over his success in
his first venture is getting ready to punch
another hole, and if he strikes It rich will go into
the producing business on an extensive scale.
Wolfe, Kugler & Co. ou the Hill farm, have
shot and tubed their new well which made 40
barrels the first day, but will settle down to a 10
or 13-barrel pumper; the same party on tbe
same property bave another rig building and
have made another location. On th e Lee
Hicton tract Roess dc Co. have cased their well
and Richardson & Co. will soon start their well
on the Gormley farm, which they expect to
complete in 12 or 15 days. Immediately south
of the Joe Hill farm William Heeter completed
a 10-barrel well on the John Shiner farm Fri
day. Nesbit fc Bell have completed tbeir well on
the Wise farm, just opposite Smoky Clty.which
will make an average producer for this territory.
Messrs. Judd & Geiser at City Point, will
most likely bring in their well on tbe Edward's
farm next week. Nickle & Geiser bad the
eood luck to find a 10 barrel well In tbeRed
Valley sand Friday which is located on the,
Nickle farm in tbe ancient villase of Kinckie
ville. On Thursday tbe gas well at tbe month
of deep hollow was treated to a liberal nhot
whicb increased the well's production tbe first
day to 40 barrels: when the well settles to Its
normal condition it will be good for an 8 or 10
barrel -pumper.
Petersville Joe Colestock's Splthaler
farm well, reported as being dry.-H starting to
show considerable mi, and will no doubt make
a fair well yet. Jeff Morrison has a new rig
up on th boundary line between the Blakeley
and McKlnnev, and on the latter they are rig
cing up. Sboiip & Co. have a new rig up on tbe
Oswald Rader farm. Several new wells will be
in within the next ten days, whicb will no doubt
increase tbe field's production.
"Waters station Huelton SCo. are In tne
sand on the Graham farm, but' as yet rrava
reached no pay, Possibly a little further drill
ing may develop one. One of Gns Leidecker's
crews came up from Wildwood and are en
gaged in rigging up on J. A. Leldecker's No. 1
Kelly. Tbey will start spndding to-day.
Renfrt-w Renfrew & Graham bave anew
rig up within the borough limits and are ready
to start tbe drill.
McCalmont Phillips' No. 17, McCalmont
farm, is 20 feet In the sand and showing some
oil.
Glade Run The Forest Oil Company
brought in their No. 3 Sutton yesterdav.
What the actual capacity of the well will
amount to is uncertain. But she is not rated as
over 25 barrels and may possibly be less.
Coe A Co. have a new rig up ou the Drushel
farm about 20 rods soutbeast of the Forest Oil
Compan r's No. 1, Ed. Geohrinc. The location
is important, as there is a block of undeveloped
territory to the sonth and east
Klingensmltb & Co. are spudding on the Joe
Asb.
Evans City Boyd & McNuIty have pulled
the stuff out of tbeir well on the widow
Trushel farm, andhave plugged and abandoned
it, H. MCC.
THE WEEK IK OU.
Light Trading and a Clear Loss of Over
Four Cents.
There were no orders for oil Saturday, and
no business. Tbe market was inclined to weak
ness. Tbe opening, if such it may be called,
was 76c, and tbe close 76Ke bid. The week
throughout was dull and uneventful. Fluctu
ations are given in tbe following table:

that, while fluctuations were neither frequent

HOME SECURITIES.
Pittsburg and Boston Awaiting the Outcome
of Electric Negotiations Other Active
Interests The "Week's Trading
and Fluctuations.
There was some disposition to operate in
Electric Saturday, but holders were stlS in
their views and business hung fire. All through
the session 12 was freely bid, but only a small
jag was offered below 12. The only sale was
a ten-share lot at 12.
Tbe feeling in Boston was much the same as
tbat which prevailed here. There was no ur
gency to load up or unload. The few transac
tions that toos: place there were around 13. In
both places tbe trade assumed a wattmgattitude
pending developments in tbe financial deal.
Here tbe opinion seems to be gaining strength
that a combine of some sort with tbe Thomson-Houston
Company is a strong probability.
Tbe hesitation to take bold is due to two causes
uncertainty as to what tbe outcome of pend
ing negotiations will be and to the fact tbat the
time f qr bringing affairs to a head March 1
is so near at hand tbat heavy dealing would
bear a close resemblance to recklessness.
A block of Citizens' Traction was taken at a
slight advance. The sale indicates that it is
attracting more interest than it bas been fa
vored with of late. The onlv other active in
terest was Philadelphia Gas, several large
bnndles of which were unloaded at .tho uni
form price of 12. showing steadiness.
Closing prices of the leading stocks, as com
pared with those ot the previous Saturday,
show gains in Philadelphia Gas, Citizens'
Traction, Electric and Airbrake, and conces
sions in Central Traction, Pleasant Valley and
Luster. Tbe close ot almost everything was
from fractions to points better than the lowest
quotations of the week.
