- ' DEVELOPMENTS IS OIL The Work of the Past Week the Most Important of the Summer. MOTHER GOOD Jl'DOXALD WELL. The Wheeling Gas Company's 'Well on tho Cook Lot Still Burning. ECIEXTIST3 AXD TIIE WHEELING "WELL An important week to oil producers has just closed. Every day has been replete with surprises to the trade and something new has occurred. The drill is continually bringing to light some fresh discovery, nnd none predict what may happen in the next te en days. The production has been largely increased, nnd in consequent! the market has a droopinc front. Prices have not dropped with a thud since they went to 50 cents, but the gradual tendency is down ward. The wells which have been drilled during the week in the 31cCurdy-3IcDon:iid field were big ones. There wits one exception and that was Hosier & Ca's dry hole at JIcDonald, a couple of hundred leet south west of the Butler lot well. Little, if any, attention is beiiv; paid to the pools outside of the two named above. Th- are still the loadstone, and will con'tinu as such for at least ill) davs longer. Byth-ttime it is estimated, judging lrom the active work being done now, that the territory will be pretty well drilled over and the limits defined. It is belipved that the southwestern end of the streak has now been found, but this is the verdict from only one well, Mellon & Co;'s on the JlcCartv at Trimrose, a mile below McDonald. Saturday they were below the lecl where they should have reached the fifth ean'd, but thev failed to get even a showing for it. Instead of the Gordon sand they found onlv a shale or stray. In the Jumbo well of tlie Bo3l Gas "Company at the slaughter hoW below McDonald it is claimed that no fifth sand was found, but this isa fair well in the Gordon sand. The Jail v production of the field now is consid erably over 10,(100 barrels and nearly every operator is confident that before the end of September it will n achat Ieat 25,000, or ioM;iblv 30,000 bsrrel. The maximum at Wild wood was only a little better than 38,000 barrels a day," and at present it is scarcely better than 4,000. McDonald will, without doubt, prove the biggest white sand pool e cr opened. Hie Long Itlch Strenk. The wells which were completed lat week have either opened a rich streak six miles long, or else their owners were lucky enough to 1m ate them just over nice little tanks in the sand. The Fisher Oil Cor.i jmin's well on the McMichael in southwest McCurdy. which has n big tract of undrillcd land around it, reached the streak, aud Saturday was making (w barrels an hour and is partially shut in. The Forest Oil Compauy's well, on the "Wright, 4,000 feet southwest of the Mc Michael, is two weeks old and is making :j barrels an lour. Three miles, southwest of the "Wright the Matthews well, which is oer a mouth old, is putting out 75 barrels an hour. Half a mile southwest of the Matthews is the Baldwin well of Gufiey, Murphv & Co. which is putting 'Si barrel! an hour into the tanks. Contin uing in the saiuc direction about a mile, the Miller and the Mcvev wells are struck. The Miller Xo. 2, of Gartland & Hays, which reached the pay iu the fifth last Thursday night, is producing more oil than any welt in the field. It is doing at least 125 barrels an hour, aud Guckert, Steel & Egbert's Xo. 1 on the Mcvey iarm 700 feet t outh of it, is a w ek old and is good for 110 barrels an hour. Wliat They Itcly Upon. These are the wells upon which operators bae their hopes of a big field. A hundred more we'l will be drilled within the next three months and it is thought hardly probable thit the pools which thee wells show to exist will fail to connect. The Gulfev. Galley & Knssell well, on the "Albert "Wcttcnecl larm. half a mile northeast ol the Mathews well ofGuf fcy, Jennings & Co., came in last week and is "also showing for at least 30 barrels an hour, and still more firmly clinches the be lief in a long pool. Sceral wells, notably Greenlee & Frost, on the Miller at Oakdale, and the Forest Oil Company, on the Hcr ron at Xoblestown, have defined the eat vein limits of the belt, but the distance to the western edge is as yet an uncertainty. Considering all of these circumstances the outlook for better prices is not rosy. There will be no let up in drilling, however, for as an ob server of the creature hasaid: "If an oil operator knew that by drilling a big well he would tend the market to 20 cents a barrel, lie would go on and drill." The majority of the leases are taken in such a way that a veil must be put down or the lease forfeited. Tlie Cook 'Well Still Burmn;;. The fire was still burning at the Cook lot well yesterday. The preparations for smothering it oiit by steam arc about com plete, and it is believed that this will be ac complished to-day. They have the pipes for carrying off the oil almost to the lead pipe from which the oil is now flowing. The work of getting it into the flames was done Saturday bv men sheltered behind doors covered with asbes tos. Tho well never ceases entirely to flow. The loss to the owners, the Wheeling Gas Company, will amount to about $12,000 if the fire is put out to-day. A large crowd of visitors from Pittsburg were among the spectators around the well to-day, and many exclamations were heard from those who had never witnessed such a sight. Another Good Well. Mc DojrALn The well of Boscher & Co. on the IT. P. Church lot, which was shut down for a couple ot days on account of the shortage of water, was started up Friday night, and earl' Saturday morning the fit h sand was reached, when the well started to flow at the rate of 30 barrels an hour. It is located about 300 feet southwest of the Butler lot well and is almost on a line be tween he latter and the burning Cook lot well. Finncgan, Downing & Co are down 1,000 feet in their well on the Kodgers lot. Thev are 1,1C0 feet in their Mbngoc Xo. 2, 200 ieet in Elliott Xo. 1, 300 feet at their Bobh Xo. 3. They have a rig up for Xo. 2 on the Elliott aud .No. 3 on the Fayall. and are building a rig for Ho. 4 on tho latter iarm. Tlie lioyal Gas Company's Xo. 1 on the Man- Itobb farm is making about 30 barrels an hour. Tlie Mannington Field. MA-5ttN?TO., "W. Va. Snoderly No. 2 received the GJ casing Thursday. Strait X'o. 1 was plugged and casing pulled this week. Hamilton Xo. C, Flaggy Meadow Oil Company, will put in last casing next week. Two more rigs have been erected by the Flaggy Meadow Oil Company on the Fleming larm. South Penn Company's Morgan Xo. 2 will make as good a producer as yet louud on Flaggy Meadow run. South 1'eun's B. F. BlacksnereXo. 5 has succeeded in drilling past tools, and will put in last casi,ng in a lew days. The Burts gasscr, on the Mike farm, is not so large a gasser as reported. She is now showing oil, and a tank has been erected. Tho Deep Well nt Wheeling. Oil meu as well as scientists will be in terested in the following observations and figures in relation to the deep wells of the world. Il is au abstract from a paper read by Prof. William Uallock, of the United States Geological Survy, before tho Ameri can Scientific Congress. It oxcitcd great interest among the distinguished scientists who heard it. Prof. Hallock said: "Tho question as to the conditions which exist in the interior of the earth has alwaysattrncted much attention. The incst important factor in the solution of this ri.icile is the de termination or estimation of the tem penturc there existing. The Brit ish association has for years seized very opportunity 13 obtain data, rs to the rate at which the temperature in creases as the earth crust is penetrated. The most recent and reliable contributions on this subject arc by E. Dnnker, of Halle, German v, and were obtained from a 4,170 foot well at Spercnberg, not far from Berlin, and a 5,740 foot well at Schladabach, near Leipzig. These wells rre both full of water, the circulation of which vitiates results or ren ders elaborate apparatus indispensable, and the thermometers must be protected from the pressure. The "Wheeling deep well sunk by the "Wheeling Development Company and by them ccncrously dedicated to science, is 4,500 leet deep," i& inches diameter and dry; caed only to 1,570 feet. The strata there are nearly in situ, undistorted and dipping only 50feet to the mile. More sat isfactory geological conditions can scarcely be imagined, Being dry, ordinarv United States Signal Service maximum thermometers w ere used and no especial precaution needed to be taken to prevent circulation of the air. The thermometers were lowered and raised, and depths measured by a steel wire. Itesults: TABLE I. Depth. Temp'nre.iDeptb. Temp'nre. Feet. Fahr I Kect.

The whole series giving a well defined and regular curve, with a deflection at 2,900 to 3,000 feet whercn oil sand occurs. Prac tically all the rest of the uncased well is in shale. The increase in the rate at which the temperature rises as the bottom is ap proached can only be temporary, or we should have an inconceivable or improbable statu of temperature at comparatively slight depths. The two distinct series of observations combined in table I nowhere disagree more than n 3 Fh., and hence are very reliable nnd accurate. Table II gives comparison of the results nt the three great wells. TAUI.K II.

From the mean annual temperature of Marietta and Steubenville it might be taken nt 52.2 Fh. Drilling is temporarilv stopped, but we hope to go 5,500 to G.OOoYce. Anton Bey niann, of the Development Company, has generously guaranteed half the expenses, and we are waiting for a lucky man to furnish the other 53j000 and enable the Wheeling well to be lifted from the second to the first place among the deep wells of the world.

A Man In Jail Charged With Getting Board Under False Pretense. Barney Bogan has been arrested on an information made by Miss Emma Sou dan, June 29, for obtaining board under false pretenses. She alleges Itogan came to her house to board, claiming he would pav her at the end of two weeks. He stayed for two weeks and then told her he would not be paid for two weeks longer. Mr. Rogan had his dinner bucket packed every morn ing. Miss Soudan suspected the man was not working. She followed him and found he left his dinner bucket in a saloon. He brought it home empty in the evening. She then made information against him, but be fore he could be arrcstedi he was arrested for disorderly conduct and given 30 days, and until yesterda he could not be lo cated. He was going along Pennsylvania nvenue when Constable. Gallagher took him in charge and took him to Alderman Dono van's office. He was committed to jail in default of J300 bail, and Constable Galla gher proceeded to walk him up to the jail. As they were going up New Grant street Kogan tried to getaway, and they had quite a lively time for awhile. During the strug gle Constable Gallagher received a black eye, but he landed his man safely in jail, where lie will be held for a hearing "Wednesday. Out of work?

DOWN After the Bull Movement in Cereals, and the Week Closes WITH PROSPECTS VERY CHEERING Uot Much in the Hide and Leather line to Comfort Sellers. THE GENERAL .OUTLOOK IMPROVING Office of PnrsncBO Disr-ATcn, ) S TKDAT. Aug. 22. S The leading feature of the week in trade circles has been the subsidence of the bull movement in cereal lines. Under the in fluence of unfavorable European crop re ports, an upward movement started which sent wheat and rye far above the legitimate line. The consequent reaction has come, and wheat has fallen 10c below its highest point, and rye has declined almost as much. The short crops of wheat and rye in East ern Europe will certainly redound to the prosperity of this country, as a market will thus be opened for our own great surplus at remunerative prices. The occupation of tho grumbler among our farming population Is gone for this season. With n crop of cereals beyond all previ ous records, the shortage in Europe now in sures a good price for our cereals. Tho sur Slusofwhentis estimated all the way from 10,000,000 to 300,000,000 bushels, and will be needed to make up lor tho shortage in tho lauds beyond the seas. It is too early to make predictions as to the corn crop, but tho present outlook is good, nnd nil signs point to full average returns in this line. Hides and Calfskins. The lfiae market has not improved in the week past. Trade shows very littlo life, and tho buyer has the field. The following, from tho Boston Herald, expresses tho situation here as well as at the Hub: Holders are asking 6c for green salted buff hides at low freight points, but they cannot sell them nt thatllguie. The tanners offer 5Jo for tho same points, but at such offers they do not appear to pet the hides. It is suggested that there might be soino business done on the basis or 6c for buffs at nour freight points, bnt to this tho holders of hides will not iigiee. Seconds andlJsarein about the same position as buff hides, sell ers and buyers being from KK apart in their ideas of values Buff hides at high freight points are off-ied on the basis of 5Jc, but buyers offor 5Jc, but do not yet get the hides New England hides hold their positio l, from the lact that the few hides that the tanners must have they pick up in this class of stock, and the supply being limited at tho best, tho position Is easy to sustain. The market is at 55;c for steers and 4c for cows. Foreign hides aro very quiet. There Is little change that can bo noted in quotable prices, .Montevideo and Buenos Ayros t-clections being quoted at 124o.

Gage, Tresident of tho First National Bank, had this to say of tho situation and or.tlook: "There Is no doubtlbut that tho fanners will realizo much larger crops than usual this year. The heavy yield will bo more universally distributed than it has been for many years. Tho eflect cannot bo other wis.e tfian to put the farmer In a linancial condition which will stand In perfect con trast to that of the past. That is to say, he will control exchangeable values for tho needs of his farm nnd family. Ho can liqui date, if not wipe out, the burden of dobt which has so severely oppressed him. The effect on general business must be good. Evorybody ought to rejoice with tho larme? nt this bit'of cheorful sunshine that has fal len to his lot. I should say tlint not much money has pone West to move the wheat crop yet. It is not marked, at least. Tho local banks throughout the West have enough cash on hand to take tho initiative AVnen tho big crop becins to move In the Xorthwest then look out for a largo move ment of currency. .Money will be plentif uL" Good News From the tVest. JSrskine M. Phelps, a member of one of tho lcadinir shoe jobbing and manufacturing linns of Chicago, had this to say: "We have noticed a very appreciable nnd gratifying aJvanco in trado already. Let ters fioin agonts day after day inform us that the Western farmers are buying mora goods and of hotter grade than they have in years. For n number of years back the crops have been indif ferent and the prices low. That naturally aused a depression In trade, but this year things aro brighter than lor a number of years. I expect a season of great prosperity. We are bound to have it. The immense crop and the high prices aro a golden boon to tho poor farmers, and theii Rain will also be ours. In former years collections weie hard. but even now they are easier. It is a great j-ear. Money will be plenty, larmers will soon wear patent leather shoes and fancy garments, and drive tullyho coaches." HOME SECUKITIES AND FUNDS. TVltli Few Exceptions Closing Prices TVere the Lowest of the Week. Those who expected a bulge in stocks last week were disappointed not that conditions were unfavorable, but buyers failed to come out in sufficient force to make much of an impression. They seemed to be hanging back for some thing to happen thnt-wlll smash things and enable them to buy on a panic basis. Noth ing of this kind is likely to occur. There is some local trouble, but is so restricted as to have scarcely any effect in financial ciroles. Total sales for the week wero 533 shares against 1,970 tne previous week. Tho most active stocks wero Duqucsno Traction, Cen tral Traction, Luster and Philadelphia Gns. Finnl prices as compared with tlu-so of the previous Saturday show the following changes: Wheeling Gas cained 3, Central Traction . Luster lost Pleasant Vallej-, , Switch K. Airbrake y. There was no cuange in Philadelphia Gas, but the under current was weakor. In most cases tho finish was at or near the lowest point of the week.

Exchanges throuch the Clem Inn House were nenrly $1,000,000 greater than those of the preceding week, bettor thnn for the corresponding week In 1889, and only $2,000,0i0 behind last year. There was a better call for money, show ing a healthy condition and growth In gen eral trada, a better distribution of funds, and fewer unfavorable influences. In fact, the situation not only In Pittsbnrg, but throughout the entire country was dis tinctly favorable to steady progress toward complete recovery from the depression that came in with the year.

Great satisfaction is expressed at Queen Victoria's graciousness to Admiral Qervais. The Liberie says: "The reception of the French fleet by the English people, Queen and authorities sur passes in point of cordiality and kindness all the promises of the programme." Several foreign writers insinuate a feel ing of constraint on the part of England, as if the task of receiving the French visitors was a forced one. Ifthatwereso it would he an act of homage to French preponder ance. Out of work? It coats bnt one cent a word now to advertise for a situation in The Dispatch. MONDAY, .AUGUST 24; THE HOME MAKKETS. Heavy Receipts of Peaches Force Prices Down Lower. CHOICE DAIRY PRODUCTS FIRM. Corn Strong, Wheat and Flonr Steady, Oats and Eye Weaker. GROCERIES SHOW NO NEW FEATURES Office of Pittsijuro Dispatch, ) Saturday, Aug. 22. J Country produce (Jobbing Prices) Markets here have been overstocked.with peaches all the past week. The estimate of receipts for the week varies from 75 to 100 carloads. "With a daily average of '12 to 15 carloads of peaches received in this market, tlie tendency of prices has been steadily downward. Tropical fmits are exceedingly dull, by reason of the immense receipts of domestje fruit. Choice dairy products are firmly held at the advance already noted. Supply of good creamery butter is scarcely up to demand, and the advance of 3c per per pound since the beginning of the week is more than maintained. Vegetables of all kinds are slow and dull with the one ex ception of potatoes, which have improved in quality and advanced in price the past week. BUTTER-Creainery.

STOCKSHOLDTHEIROWNTN THE FACE OF BEARISH NEWS. Even an Unfavorable Bank Statement Falls , to Havo Any Great Eflfrct A Good Up ward Movement In Shares Early In tho Boy Neutralized Later. New York, Aug. 22. The stock market to day agnin showed its inherent strength, and in the face of unfavorable advices from the corn belt nnd an unfavorable bank state ment and persistent hammering by the ad vocates of lower prices, held Its own, nnd finally closed with a majority of the list fractionally higher than last evening. The market opened under pressure to sell for the foreign account, but first prices were irregu larly changed from last night's flgurei, with no materlalfclfference In any one stock. Notwithstanding the pressure from the traders and tho -selling of foreign houses, prices Immediately developed strength, and, with Northern Pacific prefened and Union rnciflc lending, fractional gains were made all along tho line of railroad shares, the im provement in the two stocks mentioned be ing per cent. Cordage, however, showed again some of Its peculiar strength, r.nd rose IJs per cent. News of lrost in the corn belt, however, then gave the traders and sold-out bulls their opportunity to make a demon stration ngalnst Tallies, and, while no spe cial activity was developed, prices slowly yielded, nnd before tho close nearlv all of the early improvement had been neutral ized. The bank statement was also a factor in tho late trading, helping the downward movement by reason of a loss In cash of over $4,000,000 and the depletion of the re serve of $3,500,000. Only in tho Industrials, however, was there any real weakness dis played, and Sugar dropped 2) per cent from its best prices, while Cordage lost its early gain. Burlington, ns was expected, was the weakest of the railroad shares and fell nway 1 per cent from its best figure. The market closed dull bnt heavy, generally at about opening prices. . .Railroad bonds were fairly active, bnt failed to maintain the strong tone which has marked the dealings of late, and while the final changes are generally insignificant a lew losses are shown from last previous sales.

Cf My little son had a number t of bad ulcers and running S sores to come on his bead and body, which lasted for four years. I tried all the doctors and many remedies, but the sores still grew worse, until I did not expect him to recover. My friends were confident that if the soreshealed it would kill him. I at length quit all other treatment and put him on Swift's Specific, and less than three bottles cured him a sound and healthy child. S. S. S., also cured a sore on another of my children. R. J.
