OFFICE AKD STKEET NEWS AND GOSSIP
The abundance of money at all of the
principal trade centers affords a good oppor
tunity for men of enterprise to engage in
business. There is a large home market
which it is difficult to overlook, while Can
ada, Mexico and South America are more
than ever looking to this country for sup
plies. Ttie field is so broad that ill ere is no
longer much danger of overproduction. A
Reliable market can tie depended upon Kith a
large decreo of certainty.
Xo place in this country offers so many in
ducements to the manufacturer as Pittsburg,
iler central location and abundant facilities
for distribution to all parts of tbe country are
advantages of great weight. If to these be
added an illimitable supply of choan fuel, trie
experience of large masses of skilled workmen
and perfect machinery for the production of
anything from a .watch spring to a war sh'.p. It
will be seen tbat sbc occupies a position that
must in all competitions uemonatr.ite her su
periority, hbe is tborougbly prepared to hold
her own against the world.
This naturally brings up the question: Can
manufacturing sites be obtained at reasonable
prices? By consulting the columns of The
Dispatch it will be seen that there is no
siarcuyof this kind of property. It abounds
in all parts of the cttv and suburbs, and can he
purchased at from 500 to 51,000 an acre. No
manufacturer desiring to locate in .Pittsburg
should hesitate Ironi fear of difficulty in pro
curing a site on almost any of the railroads or
rivers. There are enough to go round. Pitts
burg is full of industrial establishments, but
tLere is room fur as many more, and business
enough for all.

Tbe Transactions Continue to Improve
Thclrjroiltlon r.u'ter Gains a Point
Trading Light, With. More
Buyer Than Sellers.
Tbere was quite a shrinkage In business at
the stock calls yesterday, as compared with re
cent; times. Tbe buyer was there, but the
seller had the grip and refused to let go. The
former class outnumbered tbe latter, showing
firmness and faith in the future. Total sales
were 197 shares, contributed by Philadelphia
Gas, Electric and Pleasant Valley.
The feeling was rather bearish and -values
weak at the start, but the .firmness of sellers
caused a revulsion of sentiment later on, aud
the majority ot tbe leading properties finished
with substantial cams. These included Phila
delphia Gas, the Tractions and Iinster, all of
which rloscd from a fraction, to af nil point bet
ter than the opening.
The most important event of the dav was a
decliuu of SI a share in Pennsylvania Railroad
stock, due, it was said, to the shipment of a
considerable bundle to this country from Lon
don for a market. London was also a seller,
nu rumors nt a big failure in Berlin. This may
be the cause for the break. Railroad shares
received no atieatinn here.
A good sized bundle if Solar Carbon Manu
facturing Company stock was sold for apcount
ot whom it mav concern at H. This is an out
sider, and tbe transaction the only one within
tbe lecollection of the oldest inhabitant. It
was probably an echo of the Lawreuce Bank
failure, as some of the people of that Institu
tion n ere interested in the Solar enterprise.
Electric held its own, but there was no
Jirersure to buy it. Jt opened and closed At
4f. It ruled piactlcally the same at Boston,
wuti little doing, showing that tbe postpone
ment of a statement was a wet blanket. As
conditions remalu asliefore tbe meeting tbere
is no reason for a decline. If the stock was
good then it is good nun. The fact tbat roost
ot the stock is in strong hands shows that it is
not without support. It is believed by some
l.eie that Eastern buyers have acted on in
formation that was wltnheld from Pittsburg.
In a general way professional stock operators
are bullish, but are at the same time cautions
and inclined to take profits' henever the mar
ket dlsplajs hesitation. The loundatlon for
this is undoubtedly the.sanguine views encour
aged by the favorable crop prospects. Trans

KEW Y0BK STOCKS.
Shares Sluggish Chicago Gas the Strongest
Feature, Scoring the Only Advance
Gold Shipments Depress All Other
Stocks Bonds Dull.
KrvYoek, May 5. To-day then was little
in the trading in the stock, market outside of
Cbicago Gas and St. Paul. although the Wheel
ing and LakeTJne stock 1 were strong on light
transactions, and C,C.,C. & St. L. continued its
movement nf yesterday during the forenoon.
Silver certificates were weaker, and the Indus
trials were quite, neglected until late in the
day, when they became active and weak with
tbe general list.
Tbe marketopened firm but quiet, and while
a few specialties like Chicago Gas scored ma
terial gains, the general market failed to ad
vance. more than small fractions beyond the
level ot first prices. London sold its specialties,
and this precipitated a selling movement ly
local operators, which soon wiped out tbe early
gains.
The afternoon, however, brought with it the
announcement of a further engagement of
1.500,000 gold for shipment abroad, and the
selling became general for both sides of tbe
account. The selling was vigorous while the
afternoon lasted, and material losses were
suffered iu all the leading shares, though tbe
final losses forthe day are generally confined
to fraction.1 amounts. Ihe final dealings
were less active and roamed by a quieter tone,
hut the close was, heavy at about bottom fig
ures. Tbe losses of note Include Lackawanna,
Sugar, 1; Silver Certificate'. I per cent, and
Northern Pacific preferred, .. while Cbicago
Gas, which was the strong feature all tbe way
out, is actually up 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds Wore a rain dull, the sales of
all issues being only 985,000, while the tone
was generally steadv but sjmuatbized with the
stock market, late in the day tiecoming beavy
under the effect ot realization. The final
changes are insignificant, with business widely
distributed.

CANNED MEATS.
Trade In This Line Now More Active Than
Ever Before.
Tbe trade in this line opens up earlier and
more actively this season than ever before. In
former years demand has been slow until the
plcnicseasoc drew near. But this year trade
has opened up briskly a full month ahead of
the usual time. There has been a much larger
export demand for canned meats this sprimg
than ever before.
Theadvancoin live stock and fresh meats
has no donbt had much to do with the rise of
canned goods. The latter, however, have been
advanced almost as much as fresh meats. Said
a representatlve.of one of the leading firms:
"Onr trade for the montb of April, 1S91. was
more than double what it was for tbe cor
resDonding month of 189a The firm I repre
sent sold 3,000 cases of canned meats during
that month, while our trade for the same
month last year was little above 1,000 cases
There are three other firms in our city hand'
ling these goods and all are prospering. When
it is remembered tbat our best trade is uni
formly in the summer months, it ls'evident
tbat this season will be a. big one for every
thing in the line of canned meats."

OTriCE OF PITTSBURG DISPATCH, I
. 1 UE3D A Y, May 5.
Country Produce Jobbing Prices!
The first Tennessee strawberries of the sea,
son arrived this week and are selling slowly at
3 75 to $4 00 per crate. The cool weather has
served as a check to demand. Strawberries
and ice cream go slow, such weather as we have
been having for -a few days past. At the
meeting of the Elgin Board on Monday
afternoon creamery was advanced ljc per lb.
The adva'nee will go Into effect here on Friday.
As our markets are very bare of good creamery,
and have been for a week or two past, the ad
vance is likely to appear ahead of the usual
time. New choose is not in sufficient supply
for wants of trade. Receipts of eggs are fully
up to demand, but prices are steady. There is
no danger of ,1 surplus as all not needed for
private consumption ire promptly gathered in
by cold storage companies. , Markets are
abnndantly supplied with prime apples, and
prices have declined since the beginning of the
week as our quotations will disclose.

Wheat Begins Weak, Continues Strong and
Collapses at the Close Corn De
pressed by Heavy" Receipts,
With Oats in Sympathy.
Chicaoo, May 6. Wheat started out weak,
made a yery respectable showing for the great
er part of tbe session, and then collapsed
utterly. Not only were the London, Liverpool
Paris Berlin and Antwerp wheat markets in a
demoralized condition, but the quotations on
British consols and French rentes showed that
the money markets abroad were a little exer
cised.
This created almost a panic July wheat
Started at 99Jic81 OOJi. against $1 OOK at the
close yesterday, and sold up on tho early bull-,
jou reports 10 i uijj, wiin very little
reaction. The bulls lelt secure in the
face of a decline of 14 cents per bushel, with
in the last two weeks Then the hears began
to unload; prices broke to $1 Olj baited and
dropped to $1, and then slumped on tbe bear
ish cable reports and the bear raid to tho lowest
point of the day, 9Xc. closing at 9797?c
Corn was depressed early by the immense re
ceipts for this time of the year 8S5 carloads
besides 8.00Q bushels hy canal, and by the fact
that Liverpool prices were 3c lower, then rallied
with wheat because of estimates of but 330
cars for to-morrow, and Anally broke with
wheat, because of sales by the bear crowd.
The weakness in corn, heavy receipts and the
sale of a line of Jong property cau-ed an eirly
break in oats July opened at 46Jc sold off to
45c and then, on good buying, rallied to 47c,
built sagged off later and closed at 4t,c
The prices of provisions were highest at the
opening and lowest at the close The net re
sult of the day' trading shows a loss for the
JUiy option or tsoc In pork, IOC in lard andl7c
in ribs compared with the closing prices yester
day. The leading futures rangea as follows, as cor

TOWARD SMALLER POOLS,
THE ATTEHTIOH OF THE OIL FEATEB-
HITY HOW DLBECTED,
Since the Larger Fields Have Fonnd Their
Limits A Probublo Connection Between
tho Coraopolis and Moon Districts A
New Well Near Washington.
Since Wildwood has received such a
backset as it has experienced, attention i
turning, with more interest than formerly,
to the fields in which smaller wells only are
7Jf found. In these there is less temptation to
incur great risks, but the operator has no
place else just now to which he .can go.
It is true that tbe ' chances or
obtaining grand results are Tcry
much less, and therelore operations
will not be conducted in such a headlong im
petuous manner, bnt more in accord with the
itald habits nf serious business men. I: thus
happens that a report of even a small well in
new or nearly new territory excites more re
mark and attracts more attention now than a
very much larger one did at Wildwood.
In proof of this a circumstance occurred
which quietly went the rounds of nil
circles b jt at other times would not have been
so much noticed. Tbe Kanawha Oil Company's
venture on the Onstott farm, between the
Coraopolis and Moon fields, was last week re
ported through the fourth sand and dry as a
bone. Whether through ignorance of tbe facts,
or because the company desired to conceal
them, its members sanctioned the report
and it went. Last night the boiler wat
fired up again, some more drilling
was done and the well made a strong
flow. Some say no drilling was done,
but that tbe well had been nlueeed and tbe
plug blew eut. At any rate, the Kanawha
people have a well wbere no well was supposed
to be.
The importance of this strike will be under
stood when it is explained that it goes far to
prove tne existence 01 a -direct connection be
tween Coraopollsand Moon. -If further tests
fully demonstrate such a facr. a Acid seven or
eight miles in length, as now known, will be the
result.
There are 27 wells being drilled, with rigs up
for them, in tbe Moon fields, showing that
there are many people willing to drill for 25 to
50-basrel wells on 80-cent oil. Bradley &
Murphy are LOOO feet deep ou the Springer
farm. Bug 4 Mecbling have the tools stnek
atl.OOOfeoton the same farm. The Orion Oil
Company is ready to drill on tho Hatnerlor,
near the original NoC 1 Goss, and is down LOOO
feet in the Gordon.
Tbe Kanawha Oil Company, on the Meek's
farm, and Captain Grace, on bis Dotv acre, are
due Thursday or Friday, as are also the Hervey
Oil Company's No. 2 McCutcbenn and No. S
Goss: Mellon's No. 1 Parry, and Bolen A Co.'s
on a farm tbe name of which was not learned.
A Well Near Washington.
rSPXCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISrj.TCK.1
Washington. Pa.. May 5. The Peoria's
I Light and Heat Company found an oil well this
morning on the A. O. Day farm, sornef our miles
south and west ot Washington borough. Some
months ago this company leased 5,000 acres in
that section for gas purposes, and the present
well was the first drilled on it. The oil was
found in the Gantz. sand, and the well
Is estimated as good for all the way
from 60 to 150 barrels Mr. Caldwell.
President of the company, was In the city yes
terday and seemed highly elated over the dis
covery, for it is made, ho said, in entirely new
territory, and he thinks opensa new and pro
lific field. Wells have been drilled in that
part of the township (Franklin) in which this
well is loca d, but not within a milo or so of it.
A U Accidentally Plugged.
Coraof i,is Galley Bros, struck gas In tho
"huny.un" sand on the Mark Watson lot. ffhe
Forest Oil Company's No. 7 Neeley, completed
last week, is doing 70 barrels a day. The same
company has rebuilt the rig on Hogbar Island,
which was washed away by the flood last win
ter. Tbe Coraopolis Oil Company Is throngh
the 100-foot on the John Watson farm. , ' .
Black & Emerson shot their Jolley lot dry
hole yesterday afternoon. When the shell was
lowered It did not exnlode. Tbe tools were run
and the thing went off, plugging the hole with
a string of bent and twisted tools.
A Strong New Gasser at McCurily.
McCurdy Black & Emerson struck a heavy
flow of gas yesterday in the fltth sand in
their venture on the Mink farm,l miles north,
22 east, of MqCurdy.. The flow is said to be as
great as' tbat struck last winter on the Jolley
farm at Coraopolis The sand has not been
touched deep enough to develop any oil.
The total urortnet of the McCtfTdv field for
April was 72,088 barrels; a daily average of 2,.
402. This week tbe field is making 2,b56 barrels,
the increase being due to glycerine, for no new
wells hare come in to add anything to it.
A Poor Showing for McDonald.
- McDo'sald The Royal Gas Company's
Sauters well lsmaking juSt 160 barrels a day,
and the flobb "no'thing, or so nearly nothing
that no oil bas been run from it yet. The com
pany began drilling to-day on the McDonald
brothers' farm, and has a rg up on one of the
Robb farms Black & Emerson are building a
rig on a town lot north of the Sauters.

TAIIOHG TO THE POINT,
A Canadian Legislator Lets Himself Loose
on Keciprocity.
.TTCCIAt. TXLJCORAM TO THI DISrATCH.!
Ottawa, May 5. In Parliament yesterday,
Charlton strongly condemned the Dominion
Government for tlie policy of irritation
toward tbe United Spates add tbe in
sults they were reported showering
upon the 05,000,000 people to tho
South, He ridiculed the idea of attempting
to negotiate a treaty, of auy kind with tbe
United States while the people of their republic
were flowing over with indigna
tion against Canada. The only sal
Tation ." of Canada from bankruptcy
and ruin was Unlimited reciprocity with tbe
United States, which Sir John Macdonald bad
now mado Impossible to negotiate. He pointed
out the one-sided character nf the treaty
of 1S54, upon which Sir John Macdonald said
be expected to base bis negotiations. The
United States did not want a treaty tbat
offered Canada all the advantages. It must
admit of tbe free importation of the products
of Amorlcan labor into Canada dr tbeta wonld
be no treaty. He donbtea, however,
whether. In view of the lusultlng language
Sir John Macdonald tad applied to Ihe people
of tbe United States, either President Harrison
or Secretary Blaine dare submit a proposal of
reciprocity with Canada to the United States.
Tbe Dominion Government had attempted to
negotiate commercial treaties with tbe West
Indies, but had failed.

KISSES.
(A la Romeo and Juliet)
A prominent physician calls the kiss "an
elegant (disseminator of disease." He says,
" fever is spread by it, so are lung diseases."
He maintains that if the kissing custom, were
driven out of the land "it would save one
tenth of one per cent, of human lives " which
are now sacrificed. Out upon the gnarled
and sapless vagabond I Evfdentlykiises are
not for suh as he, and the old f 01 says the
grapes are sour. Let him devote himself to
making our women healthy and blooming
that kisses may bo kisses. This can surely
be done by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription which is simply magical
in curing diseases peculiar to females.
After taking it for a reasonable) length of
time there will be no more irregularity,
backache, bearing-down sensations, nervous
prostration, general debility and kindred
ailments. "Favorite Prescription" is an
invigorating, restorative tome and as a
regulator and promoter of functional ac
