Sewer Pipe Manufacturers Have Tormed a Kew Syndicate, AKD miCES ARE ABOVE LAST YEAR Precions Time Lost to Building by fieason of the Trade CONFLICT OP CAPITAL WITH LABOR Office of Pittsburg DisrATcn, Tuesday. April 2S. $ Sower ripe Trust. ""An attempt was made a year or two ago to form a pool of sewer pipe manufacturers of Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania, and the combiaatioa operated under the title of the Globe Sewer Pipe Company. There were enough companies which kept aloof from the combination to niaL.e it a failure, and a year ago the Globe went where the woodbine twinctu. As a result, of every manufacturer for himself 'ast season, it was the old boy for them all. Ssewer pipe manufacturers, as a rule, lot inone during 1890. Another at tempt has been nn.de tins spring to form a pool to prevent the cutthroat culicv. The new syndicate has organized un der the title of the National bewer Pipe Com )nv, nith heauquarters at Cleveland, O. There Is a better prospet-t of &uccess to the new organ ization tiiau to the "Globe," as nearly all ot the manufacturers arc in the present deal. Prices have been advanced 23 to 30 per cent by the no organization The trade in sewer pipo does not open up fully before July. From that time till s'iirn fronts is the active time for the trade. 1 bus far business is slow, but dealers have strung conrHence in the future, m t iew of the fact that all manufacturers are in the pool. Cereal Outlook. The trade event of the week has been the strong bear movement in cereal lines, bright, sunny weather has, no doubt, had much to do with the success ot the bears. The last half of April has been all that farmers and gardeners could wish tor the good of incoming crop;. It is a rare thing that prospects for a bountiful yield of tho fruits of the earth is as good at abltmie of the year as it is right now. The promise ol fruit was never better. Though it is too carl to prophesy as to far mer's crops for the season before us. there is a hopeful feeling that there will be a prolific harvest. The strong up ward movement of cereals last week became top heavy, fcpecnlative influences sent prices above the legitimate line. .N'uw we are having the natural reaction, and with weather favor able for an abundant crop the reaction has been all the more pronounced. A haj has been vcri low this season com pared with price of corn and oats, it is proba-. blcthat many meadows will be plowed up this' year and planted with the more profitable article, so that, next season the situation is likely to be reversed, and hay will be dear, and corn and oats cheap. "Wall Decorations. The demand for wall paper is nearly a month behind the average time this season. Tho bright weather of the past few weeks has, how ever, very much stimulated trade, and dealers report that the last half of April has shown the largest trade on record for the same period, baid a representative of Pittsburg's oldest firm in this line jestcrday "Our volume of trade this month has been fully 15 per cent larger than for the corresponding month last year, prices of reliable goods are much the same as thr ha e been for tw o years past. The fashionable styles are still light colors, notwithstanding the wane of natural gas. bite and gold and ivory and gold are prevail ing fashionable colors. One of the adverse features of the trade i- the fact that mary store keepers arc attempting to lack the wall paper trade on to other linc3 of business. To the or dinary eye damaged paper and a low grade ar ticle with a little gilt in it, which is not worth half the standard article, terms to be all right, and dealers who make a regular business of wall decorations, suffer more or less from the efforts of irregular dealers to encroach on our department of trade." Labor Troubles. The hitch between contractors and journey men, which will not be settled until Hay 1, has lieen a depressing factor in many important lines of bu'iness. V, eather for the past few weeks has been very favorable to building ind rot less than three valuable weeks tae been lost becansp of the unsettled ques tions between the contractor end journeyman. It is reported that buildings aggregating in wiiii' J8 500.WO. are awaiting the settlciuen of iWs conirv, rsy The plans are in the desl s of architects, and contactors are tied up until the demands of labor are settled one way or the other. Dealers in lumber who nave heaVil v stocked up are nrxioa-ly awaiting the issue. The misfortune is that present good wcatbT should be lo-t when both contractor and laborer ought to be reaping nice harvests. MARKETS BY WIRE.

HAS A FULL SWING, THE SOUTH PENH OIL COMPANY'S P0ETANT WELL IK- The Geological Oil Trunk of Wiidwood and Its Two Branches Tlieorlcs and Predic tions of Geological Formation Questions n hich the Aew 1 ells Will Clear Up. A very important well in "West Virginia is that of the South Penn Oil Company, on the Milton "Wilson farm. This well is just soutb of the county line betweeu Marion and Monongalia counties, and is a searcher for what has been termed the "geological bend." This is the connection figured out between the ML Morris and Mannington fields by the geologists. The geological formation is peculiar, in tbat the sharply-de fined anti-cllnal at Mt. Morris seems to fade near the southwest developments of that pool and is continued by a low, flattened ridge, not in the same direction, but swinging very hard to the west and connecting with tho anti-cllnal at Pairview. which comes up sharp again. The angle at which the Mr. Morris crest runs is probably 2& w est of sotith,aud that between Fairview and Mannington approximates 43 west of south. The "swing" between them, though probably a'little circular, may be con nected at the ends by a line produced at an angle ot about 80 west of soutlu 'Ibis Milton W ilson well is reported as show ing a little oil, and if it deve'ops into a pro ducer, may be taken to establish tlie geological theory so much laughed at. Previous develop ments in this scqtinn .nro the Manifold Oil Compan.'s well on the Jasper Wilson faim. aoout one mile nuo sontn 01 Linton Wilson. tl his well was a ver. light gasser- the South Faan Oil Company, on the Milton Varne. firm, two and a half nines cast, which was a preu v strong gas well, and the South Penn's Brice Wallace No. 1, about five miles west and a little to tbo south, which showed strong gas and a spri 01 oil. Considerable mystery is thrown about the new well, and nothing more can be learned than that it is showing some oik At the office of the compan) no information is obtainable, and The Dispatch's informant says the com pany's field men show the same disposition toward secrecy. Why they should be so close is not apparent, as the South Penn has every acre of termor) on the "swing" under lease. Predictions and Theories. Wildwood This field has practically noth ing of importance to oiler to-daj, but owing to the prominence the field lias occupied in the months gone oy it may not be amiss to present to The Dispatch readers some of the predic tions and thrones advanceo by the different oil men. the results ol which can now be verified or not, as the case may be. After the advent of W. E. Griffith's White sell No. 1 well, in which oil was lound at the third sand, horizon predictions were rife, and exery new turner into the field would predict and procure his terntort accordingly, home won d predict a north 4o east line aud its re verse; othurs a o." Hue. others a o line, and not al(.wa22jline. By taking the line as developed from a point near Wildwood station and producing s lid line to a point where tho McGcagh lot, Ruuga farm ai.d the Rn geisen come together, it is safe to sa that the thickest sand and most proline wells have abounded on a4alioe, orrery do-e thrieto. At the-northeast corner ot the Kingelsen farm the belt seems to split or ditide. t!.o north wing taking the direction of south 75 to b0 west, and the south wins nearly parallelling the original 45 line. The Marks well No. 2 and W. a Guffy's dry venture on the Heidelberg farm, go to prove the theory that the nelt is split, on the south west end, and disprove the theory of a 5i or 57 line carrying clear through the field, which would meet with the Guffy dry well on the route. Another fact is advanced by some iu proof of two streaks to the southwest: Kirst, the wells on the uorihwests.de or the pool, with very few exceptiors. find the first nav on ton of the sand just as soou as It is penetrated, and the uext pay a considerable distance in the sand; while on the southeast side of the pool the lirt pay is found at from 8 to 15 feet in the sand, and the second at from IS to 21 feet in the sand, and there is also a marked difference In the textures of the sands on "the different eirfes of tuo pool. . extension of the Ttvo "Wings. At presert tl.e average operator is a little at sta. Ihcro are those who predict that the north wing will extend to the Perrysville plank road over the Deer, north end of HciJeibjrg, Cole and Eopey properties, and the south end to a point near Perow!!e, on the old iua,kcd out route, the verification of which will be known on the north wing at the coming in of J, M. (juUVs Krttzer wells, Griffiths & Co.'s Cole w ell aud J. M. Patterson's Kspey wells in ad vance, which, with kmi jluck, will be lu in tho next ten days to two weeks. llic south wing will receive Its status from the advent Of the llotll Oil L'nmnmt'i Canin- bell well, which ism the sand, and is not show ing as well as could be expected, and the Jen ney well of Delhi rt, Iioag& Co., aud the two wellh on tho Milutt ro farm, which are respec tiielj 1.100 and l,5uu feet deen at this time, as also the 12 orlfi a ills drilling on the .Alston. Peoples, Campbell and Good properties, all of whiuiistion d bom by the 15th of May. The Jennej eil is booked for this week, and the result of tne Campbell well will also be known in the developed portion of the rkld. Griffith and the forest Oil .Company hold oer tnrec-fonnhs ot the undrilled reserve, and the oitier wells of tho field are holding up well, considering tho enormous production of this held, it being now 13 months' old.

The Yell-Known Weldin Stand Pur chased for a Konnd Sum bj THE DIAMOND bTKEET SYKDICATE. A Good Deal tone in Stocks at Auction, bat - the Calls Featureless. OFFICE AND SIELET SEWS AND GOSSIP It was stated a short time ago that the Gregg, orMcKee property, corner of Wood and Diamond streets, had been sold to the Diamond street syndicate for $130,000. The sale was afterward denied by those having authority to speak ot the matter. Informa tion obtained yesterday from inside sources shows that both the report aud denial wero practically correct The deal had not been closed at the time the report of the sale obtained currency, and this afforded opportunity for con tradiction. It was consummated about 10 day's ago, however, and the property now belongs to the syndicate, unless tho Informant is very much deceived. He understood the considera tion to hare been $125,000. .notner gentiemau who is close to the head ot the syndicate, furnished the following addi tional information: "From all I have beard and know, the sale was coinp'eted earty last week. 1 understand tho place will not be re built, at least for two or three jears. The ob ject of tho purchase is plain. The syndicate has brer, buving on Diamond streot for two y ears or moro on the supposition thtt it would be widened. They are 111 favor of the improve ment, as it will largely increase tho raiuo of their holdings. The owners of tho corner property, like Mr. Howard, fought them at every step, and the oniy way to silence them was to b&y ihem out. This they have done. The deal has given tho streot widening scheme an impulse that seems likely to carry it to a successful issue." JIow April Leaves Bnslnoss. The fourth month of the year is practically ended aud its record made up. It leaves busi ness, both general and local, better than it found it. Improvement has been slow but steady, an lit has all the elements of perma nency. The year opened under unfavorable auspices. It was handicapped by the misfor tunes of its predecessor to such an extent as to well nigh reverse the wheels of enterprise. Ihe struggle was between artificial congestion and the nutural tendency of things to expand. Thn contest has been fought out and the hosts of pessimism routed. There is a better feeling abroad to-day than at any previous time this 3 car. This betterment is the natural response 01 cosiness to tne wants or tne people. The outlook could hardly be better. There is a fair promise of immense crops to enrich the farmers aud gire employment to the rail roaas. which in turn, will keep the iron mills going to furnish material for improving old and laying now tracks. Everything will feel the impulse and start into new lile. The labor trouble is the -only drawback and it cannot last long. The interests at staku are too important, they affect too many homes to make a pro tracted struggle possible. An active move ment in all lines of trado seems to be assured for the remaining eight months of tho year. Business News and Gossip. A large number of buildings will bo started in May, strike or no strike. The fact that nearly 300 lots in Schenley View Place have been sold by Straub t Morris in less than a year shows that buyers are still In the marker. Well-posted investors think street railway stocks will be the local attractions on 'change this summer. They are all iu good shape for a bulge.

The event in local stock circles yesterday was the auction sale on the floor of the Exchange in the afternoon by John D. Bailey. There was a fair attendance ot investors and brokers, and while bidding was by no means spirited, it meant bnsinoss almost every timo. Of 24 prop erties on the list 15 wore sold. This shows a good demand for dividend-paying securities.

Shares Less Active bat Stronger Close at Nearly the Itest Flgnres Grangers Again Prominent A Few Active Bonds, bnt Others Dull. Nr.w York, April 2S. The stock market to day displayed a marked decrease in its activity, but also a marked improvement in iw tone over yesterday, and while no material advances were scored in the general list the cessation ef the pressure went a great way to restore confi dence among the smaller class of speculators. The Grangers to-day again came to the front as the leading group of stocks, and the move ments among tho specialties wero of less con sequence than nt late, altho.igh the sharp ad vance and ill dine in Jersey Central was an ex ception. The opening gave no trace of yeter riiy's weakne-s. hut fust prices were from to 2i per cuit better than last night's figures, wnich advance was not fully maintained in tho early trading. Prices afterward ad vanced, though slowly at first. Later there were marked gains made, and manyof tho lead ing active shares scored material advances for the day, while the handsome rise of 2 per cant in Jersey Central was nearly all lost. Reactions occurred from time to time, keeping the market down close to tho level of the opening figures, bnt the close was fairly active and firm at close to tho best prices. Railroad bonds, while showing transactions in an unuMiilly large number of Issues, was only moderately auho Jn the aggregate. The trading reached only 81.159,090. without other feature of Interest.
