JUDICIOUS BDYIXG TEE THING
That Has Enabled Even Jay Gould to Secure
His Great Wealth.
GOOD CUAXCES -VOW OPEN' FOR CAFITAIi
rPrrCIAt TnrEGKAM TO TOE DlSrATCH.l
Kew Yokk, Oct. 4. Matthew Marshal
reviews the financial and speculative situa
tion for to-morrow's Sim as follows:
TI10 sucpestion which linade, two months
ago, tliat there was a glut of now securities
on the market, wliich might possibly havo
to be relieved by a marking down of prices,
similar to that which the late A. T. Stewart
ned to make when he wanted to get rid of
tnisalasledrj goods, has been shown by the
revelations of the past fex days not to have
becnaltoccthcr unreasonable. The failure
of a II. Vcnncr .V Co. of this city, and of
Turner v Ilro. of Boston, are both ascribed
bv the members of those Arms to their being
overloaded with new water and corporation
bonds, which, though good in themselves,
could not bo sold fast enough to meet the
maturing loans for which they had been
hypothecated.
The officials of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santn Fc liailroad Company openly an
nounce that, owing to the want of a market
lor their general mortgage 4s, they
deem it more advantageous to pay a com
mission of 1 percent for a renewal for two
years of their $7,000,000 guarantee fund or
mortgage -U than to pay them. The
Hock Island Kailroad Company, too. is
reported to be about to issue some millions
of short debentures, instead of selling long
bonds it holds, in reserve.
1X1I.1.0W1XO UNION r.VCIFIOL
TSoth thec corporations only follow the
lead, in this respect, of the Union Pacific,
which, with f0,000,noo of securities in its
treasury, has been obliged to go begging
forn three yeais' extension from its cred
itors on its V-OiOi.OO'1 floating debt. These
cases are onlv samples of hundreds of others
of lcs importance which havo not come
prominently into notice, because the parties
inteiested-creditors as well as debtors
wi-el refrain trom making them public.
Pming the flush period which preceded
the llaring collnpse of last November, the
same sort of enthusiasm which is now rush
ing up the prices of stocks led to the build
ing, all over the country, of water works,
gas works, towns and cities, electric street
railroads, electric light plants, manufactor
ies of various kinds, and not a few railroads.
The inonev for them was sought principally
iu Xew York and Iondon, and about as
much in one city as In the other. Financial
institutions and bankers either bought out
right the bonds issued by the companies en
gaged in these enterprises, or made large ad
vances upon them. A part they disposed of
to investors at a profit, but a very large resi
due still remains upon their hands awaiting
a rhange in the temper of capitalists, who at
present resolutely refuse to buy them.
CAUSE OF THE UEFUSAX.
That tho refusal is not merely due to the
want of va'nc of the securities offered i
evident from the difficulty with which the
city of Brooklyn recently placed herSper
cent loan, and from the veer fow sales of the
best class of bonds listed on the Stock Ex
change. It is rather, according to my no
tion, owinsr to a difference of views between
buyers and sellers in regard to the rate of
income, rims, wiuie urooKiyn coma not
readily place her 3 per cents at par, her Is
went at a trifle above par, and whenever
any good investment stocks and bonds aro
offered at auction without reserve they find
purchasers, though at prices much below
those which ruled for the same class of se
curities two or three yean aco.
Thcfall In Government 4s from 130 In 1SSD
to US now is further evidence to the same
effect. This condition of the investment
market must ere long afford opportunities
for the profitable employment o: money far
superior in every way, in my opinion, to
purchasing for n rise stocks about the In
trinsic value of which no information can
be obtained, and which, like Missouri Pa
cific, can be knocked down out of ight in a
day by events which can neither be fore
tecu nor controlled.
HOW I-ORTUXF.S ARE MADE.
All the solid fortunes in existence havo
been accumulated, not by gambling on tho
Stock Exchange on tho turns or the market,
but by Judicious buying at low prices of
properties which time and the growth of tho
country havo rendered valuable. Even Jay
Gould has made $10 in this way where ho
has mado $1 on tho Stock Exchange. In
lact, his stock gambles have more than once
brouclit him to the verge of ruin, while ho
has been enriched bv his purchases of low
priced railroad and telegraph stocks nnd
their subsequent development into dividend
payers.
1 will not say that the dividend-paying of
some of his enterprises has not been falla
cious and intermittent, like that of the
Walmsb, the Union Pacific and the Missouri
Pacific concerns, hut his method illustrates
the principle I have in mind. Whatever
solid property he now possesses consists
mainly of things which cither pay dividends
or which he hopes to make pay dividends in
the future. The lato Moses Taylor left over
$30,000,000, which he amassed buying the
bonasand stocks of concerns which were In
difficulties and then bringing them out upon
solid ground. The late Isaac Sherman did
the same thing, though upon a smaller scalo
than Mr. Taylor.
INVESTING MONET ON FACTS.
Among tho living I know many, whose
names of course I must not mention, who
devote their energies, not to watch
ing the tape, but to inquiring
Into facts, and who invest their
money upon their own J udgement, and not
upon what they fancy is going to be the
course of to-morrow's or next week's mar
ket. Pome become richer than others, and
some of them have at times made mistakes
by which they lost, but all of them have, on
the whole, been large gainers. What has
been done by these men can be done, in a
measure, by anyone who will take the same
course that they did.
Let a man, for example, who has money
which he desires to employ to advantage, in
quire of his broker, his banker, or of any re
spectable financial institution with which
he has relations likely to procure for him
favorable attention, what bargains in securi
ties they have to offer, or what opportuni
ties they know of for profitable investment.
Ir they show a willinsrness to negotiate, let
him inform himseir of the nature or the en
terprise proposed, of the character of the
men who conduct it, and or the facts upon
which it depends for success. It is oiten
wise to make a personal inspection of the
railroads, the water works, the mines, tho
lactory, or whatever it may be that the
securities offered represent, or employ an
expert to do so.
1'KErAUTION IS NECESSABY.
Having gathered the necessary data, the
investor should then sit down and consider
them carefully and make up his mind upon
them for himself, consnltinc ntliprs. tint, fnr
their opinions, but for such furthorinforma
tion and suggestions as he may need lor
the formation of his own decision. Indeed,
I know of nothing more unjust to old friends
than to get their opinions of investments
and act upon them, ir tho Investments
turnout weH, the friend's lidvisc is for
gotten: if they turn out ill, they alone arc
blamed.
"Let every man be fully persuaded In his
mind," is the Apostle's sound exhortation,
or to put it into tho vernacular: "Let every
tnb Hand on its own bottom." The objec
tion to this method of proceeding Is, of
course, that it demands much time, patience
nnd trouble, with a certain amount or
money-making instinct, whereas stock gam
bling is as easy as going to perdition.
The stock gambler gives his order to his
broker and hands Mm his check and the
broker does the rest, whereas the plodding,
painstaking investor puts his own labor and
brains into tho operation. The one wins or
loses by the mere caprice of fortune, and
while he deserves blame if lie loses, he is
entitled to no credit irhe wins. The other,
even if be loes, has the satisfaction of re
taining his scir-respect, and If he wins he
may justly congratulate himself upon his
success.
WEALTH FKOM THE CHOI'S.
'There are abundant crops, and the high
prices at which they are likely to be sold
promise the country a great surplus of
wealth which will ultimately be available
for Investment Iu new forms of wealth-producing
agencies. For it should always be
remembered that It Is ndt coin nud paper
money, but the articles which they purchase,
which co to create now wealth. The men
who construct railroads and wnter works,
open mines, and build factories, do not con
sume, as money, the money they receive
for their wage. They exchange the money
for food, clothing, and tools, and It la their
labor, thus nourished and aided, which is em
bodied In the results they produce.
Thus, too, rails, locomotives, cars, pipes,
looms, buildings, and all other articles em-
Eloyed In useful enterprises are made em
odlments of tho food consumed by the
workman, whose labor creates them. An
abundance of food in the first instance, and
of men to convert it into other forms of
wealth is, therefore, an abundance of real
wealth, and under its stimulus opportuni
ties for productive investments occome
more desirable and consequently more val
uable. The prospect, accordingly, for an era of
real.business prosperity in this country is,
at present, very good", and those who are
able by their means and their sagacitv to
take advantage now of their opportunities
for investing capital may reasonably count
upon a large .ultimate profit.
THE GREAT MEVEY WELL.
IT 3IADK CSO BARRKLS AN HOUR BT
SLIGHT AGITATION.
Forst & Greenlee's Wonder the Surprise of
the OH World Four Wells Which
Should Soon Get the Fifth Sand Dry
Hole at Moon.
"Wonders have not yet ceased in the oil
business. The most remarkable event ever'
chronicled occurred Saturday. A few days
ago Oleen, Forst & Greenlee's Na 1 Mevey
was drilled deeper into the sand; it was re
ported to liave increased at least C00 barrels
an hour. This was tho greatest record np to
that date of any well ever struck in the
Pennsylvania oil fields. A correct gauge of
it was not obtained owing to the fact that
the tanks were all lmmcdlaeoly filled, the
connections broken, and the oil ran
down the creek. Thousands of barrels
were thus lost. Saturday evening
this same well was agitated and its produc
tion increased. A correct guage showed it
to be making a little over f50 barrels an
hour, or 15,050 barrels a day. Without doubt
It is now the largest well in America. What
it might yet produce Is only a matter of con
jecture. It has never been ascertained just
the amount of oil which can be forced by a
heavy pressure of gas through a casing only
5 inches in diameter. This well is appar
ently producing all that it Is possible for it
to put ont. It keeps up a continuous rumble
and roar that can be heard for a quarter or a
mile. Last evening it was reported to have
dropped back to 450 barrels an hour.
There are four other wells In this field
now on top of the fifth sand. They will be
drilled in before Wednesday ana they
should more than offset tho decline In the
production of the old wells. They aro Guffey,
Jennings, Murphy & Co.'s So. 2 Bell, and
their No. 1 on the ncrron farm. Both of
them are in the vicinity of the big Mathews
well, which belongs to the samo parties.
Guffey, Murphy & Co.'s Xo. 3 Elliott was
drilled one hit in tho fifth sand Saturday.
It has been making 200 barrels a day from
the Gordon sand and when tho hit entered
the fifth It increased to 15 barrels an hour.
The well was then shut doun and will not
be drilled in nntil to-morrow on account
of making repairs to the rig. Guffey &
Gailev's No. 1 on the Conncll farm near Oak
dale "will get the fifth to-day. Guffey,
Murphy A Co.'s Xo. 2 Herron and their Xo. 3
Elliott will both get the Gordon sand to-day.
There are a number of wells in this field
which will get the Gordon sand the last of
the week.
Thorn Rtrcf The Kanawha Oil Company's
Xo. 3 on the .Tames Springer was completed
Saturday and is a duster.
Saturday's Quotations.
Cash oil was neglected Saturday, the
November option having the call. It opened
at 61, which was high-water mark. The
lowest was 59Ji, and tho close 00.
Refined finished at a decline tor the week
at nearly every point. There was a material
increase in daily runs and shinments.
From Atlantic ports the exports of crude,
refined, etc., since January 1, have been 4U,
657,000 gallons; decrease as compared with
same period in 1890, 11,499,000 gallons. The
stock of Pennsylvania oil is apparently In
creasing, and is now about 12,000,000 barreis.

Tho Drought Causes Apprehensions.
Wheeling, Oct 4. Special The pro
longed drought and continned hot weather
are beginning to excite grave apprehensions
in many counties. Host of the small
streams are entirely dried up, springs have
failed and even the larger rivers have
almost disappeared. There is but eight
inches of water in the Ohio at this point
and the stream can be waded almost any
where. ' Forest fires are feared in the
mountains and sickness in the interior
towns,

A HGHT FOB LAND.
A Man Kept From His Timber by Farmers '
With Dogs and Guns.
Johnstown, Oct 4. SpeciaL A some
what novel contest took place about four
miles south of this city last night. Jacob
Herkman owned a valuable tract of timber
land which he sold to his neighbor, Levi
Schman, who put in a sawmill and began to
cut the timber. Some time afterward a
lumber dealer from Clarion county named
Childs persuaded Herkman to sign an agree
ment, m which Herkman allowed him to
take a few oak trees on a portion of his tract.
It afterward developed that the contract
with Childs was an agreement for all the
timber which Schman was cutting. Childs
expressed his determination to take posses
sion, and yesterday it was learned that he
was nearing the ptacewith his engine drawn
by 12 horses.
Schman consulted his neighbors and they
agreed to help him hold possession. They
armed themselves with guns and, ac
companied by dogs, they held the fort. As
night approached they built fires all along
the line ot the tract where Uhllds wouiu ap
proach with the engine. After Childs be
came tired of being driven backat the point
of a gun. he sent word to the Sheriff, and
as he had the necessary papers to allow him
to take possession, the Sheriff escorted him
on the grounds without any 'trouble from
the farmers.
An Old Soldier's Killing Bee.
Walla "Walla, "Wash., Oct. 4.
"Word reached here-at midnight that Fritz
Zorn, an old soldier and musician of the
First Cavalry, shot and killed his wife,
mortally wounded his mother-in-law and
then shot himself in the month four times.
He will probably die. Zorn was divorced
from his wife an'd threatened often when
intoxicated to kill her. He went to her
house about ten miles in the country this
afternoon and demanded admission. Upon
being refused he forced open the door and
commenced shooting.
Two Men Killed by a Bridge Falling.
Lima, O., Oct, 4. SpeddL By a bridge
giving way near here this morning, two
men were killed. While Frank Goss and
Emanuel Kink, farmers, were driving a
heavy threshing machine over a township
bridge a few miles from town, the structure
gave way, precipitating the men and ma
chine into the stream 25 feet below. The
men fell to the bed of the stream and were
instantly killed by the heavy machine tail

Almost daily we have the extreme pleasure and satisfaction of seeing
people in our clothing departments who have been our customers for a
score of years and longer. They are living witnesses of our reliable
make of clothing. Do you suppose for one moment they would have
kept on coming all this time if they had been dissatisfied with our
methods and merchandise our prices and principles ? And this broad
policy of fair and liberal dealing with the public sticks closer to us to
day than ever before. The result is plainly visible in our ever-increasing
trade.'
