Wt GOD'S FIRST BIBLE. That Is What Dr. Talmage Considers EjO'prs Monster Pyramid. KOT PLANNED BY A HUMAN BRAIN. Its -Construction Implies Knowledge Which JIau Never Gained. WUAT THE GREAT PILE TEACHES TS !rr.CJAT. TELEGRAM TO THE DISrATClI.1 Brooklyn, Oct. IS. Dr. Talmage's ser mon this morning was the first of a series he intends preaching on his Eastern tour, en iitltil, "From the Pyramids to the Acropo lis, or "What I Saw in Egypt and Greece Confirmatory of the Scriptures." His test was Isaiah six., l'.l-'JC: "In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Esypt and a pillar at the bor der thereof to the Lord. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness." Isaiah no doubt here relers to the preat pyramid at Gizcli, the chief pyramid of Esypt. T!l t1- speaks ofa pillarm Kgypt, anil this is the greatest pillar ever lifted; and the text says "it is to be at the bonier of the Ian d, and this pyramid is at the border of tbo land: and the text says it shall he for n witness, and the object of this sermon is to tell what this pyramid witnesses. We bad on a morning of December, IPSO, landed in Africa. Amid the howling boat men at Alexandria we had come at.hore and taken the rail-train lor Cairo, Egypt, along the hanks of the most thoroughly harnessed river of all the world the river .Nile. THEIIi FIEST NIGHT IK EGYPT. Wo had at eventide entered the city of Cairo, the city wheie Christ dwelt while staying in Ecypt during the llerodic pcrsc cntiqn. It was otir first night in Egypt. Put bow can I describe the thrill of expec tation, or today we are to see what all tho world lin icen, or wants to see the pyra mids. We are mounted for an hour and a halPs ride. We pass on amid bazaars tuned with rugs and carpets and curious fabrics l all sorts fiom f-myrna. from Al-gicr-, tram Persia, iroui Tnrkey. and through streets where vc meet people of all colon-and all garbs, carts loaded with gar Jen productions priests in gowns, women in black veils lioilor.ius in long and seem ingly M-.peifluou apparel, Janissaries in jacket of cmbroid'-rcd gold out and on "toward the gival pyramid: for though there are S3 pyramids still standing the pyramid at Jizeh is tho monarch of pyramids. Wo meet camels grunting under their load nnd see buffaloes on either side browsing in pasture fields. The road we travel is for part of the way under clumps of acacia and bv lone rows of sycamore and tamcrisk, but alter awhile it i3 a path of rock and sand, and we find wo have reached the margin of the desert, THE" GREAT SAHAKA DESERT, and we cry out to the dragoman as we see a huge pile ol rock looming in sight: "Drago man, what is that?"' His answer Is, "Tho 1'yramid," and then it seemed as if wo wore living a century every minute. Our thoughts and emotions ncre too rapid and intense for utterance, and we ride on in si lence until w e come to the foot of the Pyra mid spoken of in the text, the oldest struct ure in all the earth. 4.O00yeais old at least. Here it is. We -.tand under the shadow of a ttrncture that shuts out all the earth and all the sky. and ' wo look up and strain our vision to appreciate the distant top. As we dismounted at the base of tho pyra mid I aid : "Others may go up it, but not I. I will satisfy myself with a view from the bae. The "ascent of it would be to me a loolhardy undertaking. "' lint after I had given upall idea ol ascending, 1 found my danghter was determined to go.andas I could not let her go witn strangers, I changed my mind and we started witii guides. It cannot beltme without these helpers. Two or thieo times foolhardy men have at tempted it alone, but their bodies came tumbling down unrecognizable and lifeless. HOW THE ASCENT IS JIAHE. Many of the blocks of stone are four or live feet Iiigli anil beyond any ordinary hu man stride unlesi assisted. With tno Arabs to pnll and two Arabi to push, I fo'und ray-t-clt rapidly ascending from height to height, and on, to altitude's terrific, and at last at the tiptop we found ourselves on a level spaco of abont SO feet square. Through clearest atmosphere wo looked off upon the desert, and off upon the winding Nile, and off upon thephinx with its features of ever lasting stone, and yonder upon the minarets of Cairo glittering in the sun. and yonder upon Memphis m ruins, and off upon the w reek of empires and the battle fields of ages, a radius of view enough to 1111 the mind and shock the nerves and overwhelm one's entire being. After looking around for a while, and a kodak bad pictured tho group, we do-M-euded. The descent was more trying than the ascent, for climbing you need not seethe depths benenth, but coming down it was Impossible not to sec the abysms below. With two Arabs abend to help us down, and two Arabs to hold us back. we wero lowered, band below hand, until the ground was in vitingly near, and amid the jargon of the Arabs, "we were safely landed. ASPECTS OF THE rVKASIID. I said the dominant color of the pyramid was gray, but in certain lights it seems to Ebnko off the gray of centuries and become a blonde and the silver turns to the golden. It covers 13 acres of ground. What an an tiquity! It was at least 2.000 years old when the baby Christ was carried within sizht of it by his fugativc parents, Joseph and Mary. The storms of 40 centrries have drenched it, bombarded it, shadowed it. flashed upon it, but there it stands ready to take another 40 centuries of atmospheric attack if the world should continue to exist. It has s2,Ul,U0U cubic feet of masonry. Ono hundred thousand workmen at one time toiled in its erection. To bring the stone from tin' quarries a causeway CO feet wide was built. Tlie top stones were lifted by macliinery such a the world knows nothing ci to-day. It is T46 feet each side, of the somite base. Tl.c structure is 450 feet high, higher than the Cathedrals of Cologne, Stras ljurs. Itouen, St. Peter's and St. Paul's. Xo surprise to me that it was put at the head of the Seven Wonders of tho World. It has a subterraneous room of red granite called the "King's chamber," and another room called the "Queen's chamber,"' and the probability is that there are other rooms jet unexplored. the nirFicrET interior. The evident design of the architect was to make thcc rooms as inaccessible as possi ble. Attcrr.ll the work of exploration and all the digging and blasting, if you would enter thse subterraneous rooms yon must go through a passage only 3 feet 11 inches high and less than four feet wide. A sarcophagus of red granite stands down Tinder this trountnin ol" masonry. The sar cophagus could not havo been carried in sifter the pyinmid was built. It must nave been put ti'cie beiorc the structure was aeaied. 1'robably in that sarcoohagus onco lay a wooden ccflin containing a" Head king, but time has destroyed the coffin and de ttrovedthe la-t vestige of hmnnn remains. FiirS.fWyvars this sepulchral loom was unopened, and -would havo been until to day, probably unopened, had not supcrsti tio"usmipi.WiOA sod abroad that the heart. it the pyramid was lllled with silver and gold ar.il diamonds, and under Al Mumoun, an excavating parly went to work, and hav ing boied and blasted through luO leet of rock they found no openiug ahead.and wero nliou: lo'glve tip tho attempt when they iicard a stone tolling down into a secminaly Imllow place, and encouraged by that they resumed their work and came Into tho un tlergiound rooms. IT IS A TERFECT STRUCTURE. The Pyramid built more than 4,000 years ego, being a complete geometrical figure, vicinen have concluded it must havo been Oivinely constructed. Man camo through thousand of yeuis to fine architecture, to ictibic, to painting, but this was perfect at the world's st ar and God must have di rected St. All astronomers and geome tricians and scientists sav that it was scien UCoally and mathematically constructed ""be'iuc FClencennd mathematics were bom. i'lom jfic Inscriptions on tho pyramid, l'm its proportions, irom the points ol" the wj-pitx-. irrngE'scU in its structure, from tlie .lircrtiAn in wnich ih tunnels run, from the relative postion of tne blocks which aijx.se :t. scientists. Christians and infi lejs have dciii-mstm ted that the being who planned thi-. pyramid must have known the w.rii:"st.;h"iicity. and ilia: its motion was Votary, and how many miles it ivas in diam oterand circumference, and how- many tons the woi'.d weighs. and knew at what'point in the hen veils certain stars would nppearat certain perir.fls of time. Not m ihel,Wjytars since the putting up of that pyramid has a single fact in astron omy or mathematics been found to contra dict the wisdom of that stutcture. GOD'S FIEST BIBLE. Yet they had not at the ago when the ryramid was started an astronomer or an architect or a mathematician. Who planned the Pyramid? I' must have been God. Isaiah was right when bo said in my text "A pillar shall be at the oordor of the land of Egypt and it shall bo for a sign and a witness." The Pyramid is God's first bible. Welt, ortrhnt is this Cyclopean masonry a sign and a witness? Among other things: of the prolongation of human work com pared w ith'tho brevity ot human life. In all the 4.C00 years this P-vramid has only lost 18 leet in width, ono sfde of its square at the base changed onlv from 764 feet to 74G and the most of that 18 feet taken off by archi tects to lurnish stone, for building in the city of Cairo. So men die but their work lives on. Wo are all building pyramids not to last four thousand ycais, but forty thousand, forty million, forty trillion, forty quadrillion, forty quintillion. All the good words or bad words we speak arc spread out into ono Inver for a pyramid. All the kind deeds or malevolent deeds we do nre spread out into another layer. All the Christian or un christian example we set is spread out in another layer. All tho indirect influences of our livei are spread out in another layer. THE AVORK OF MANY HANDS. Some boss mason in the world's twilight didn't build the Tyramld. One hundred thousand roen built it and perhaps from first to last 200.000 men. So with the pyra mids now- rising, pyramids of evil or pyramids of good. Tho pyramid of drunk enness rising ever since the time whon Noah got drunk on wine, although there was at this time such a superabundance of water. All the saloonists of the ages adding their layers of ale casks and wine pitchers and rum Justs until the Pyramid over shadows the 'great Sahara Desert of deso lated home, and broken hearts and destroy ed eternities. The pyramids will continue to rise until the millennial morning gilds the completed work, and tho toilers on these heights shall take off their aprons and throw down their trowels, crying, "It is fin ished." Your business and mino is not to build apyiamid but to be one of the hundreds of thousands who shall ring n trowel, or pnll a rope or turn the crank of a derrick. The Ecumenical Council, now in session at Washington, its delegates the honored re presentatives of 00,000,000 Methodists in nil parts of the earth, will at every session do honor to the memory of John esley. WESLEY'S JOHN THE BAPTIST. I wonder if anv of them will think to twist a garland for the memory of bumble Peter Bonier, the Moravian, who brought John Wesley into the kingdom of Go:iT I rejoice that all the thousands who have been toiling on the pyramid of righteousness will at last be recognized and rewarded the mother who brought her children to Christ, tho Sabbath teacher win brought her class to the knowledge of the truth, the unpre tending man who saved a sonl. Then tho trowel wilt be more honored than the sceptre. Further, carrying out the idea of my text, the pyramid is it sign and a witness that big tombstones are not tho best way of keening one's self affectionately remembered. This pyramid and the C9 other pyramids still standing were built for sepnlchers, all this grout pile of granite and limestone, by which we. stand to-day, to cover the memory of a dead King. It was the great Westmin ster Abbey of the ancients. Some say that Cheops was the King whobnilttlilspyramid, but it is uncertain. Who -was Cheops, any how? All that the world knows about him could be told in a few sentences. The only thing certain is that ho was bad and that he shut up the temples of worship and that he was hated so that the Egyptians were glad when he was dead. XO JIOXTOESTS FOR THS GREATEST. Joshua, the greatest warrior the world ever saw, no monument: Moses, the greatest lawyer that ever lived, no monument; Paul, the greatest preacher that over lived, no monument: Christ, the Savior of the world and the rapture S heaven, no monument. A pyramid over scoundrelly Cheops, but only a shingle with a lend "pencil epitaph over many a good man's grave. Some of the finest obituaries have been printed nbqnt the worst rascals To-day at Brussels there is a pyramid ot flowers on the grave of Bou langer, the notorious libertine. Yet it is natural to want to be remembered. 1 nm slowly passing away. I am a dying pyramid. I shall yet lie down in the dnst of the plain and the sands of the desert shall cover me, or whon the earth goes I will go. But you are immortal. The feet with which you climbed my sides to-day wilt turn to dust, but yon have a soul that will outlast me and all my brotherhood of pyramids. Live for eternity". Live for "God! With the shadow of the evening now falling from my side, I pronounce upon you a benedic tion. Take it with yon across the Mediter ranean. Take It with you across the Atlan tic. God only is gicat! Let all the earth keep silence before him. Amen!" And then the lips of granite hushed, and the great Giant of Masonry wrapped himself again in the silence of ages, and as I rode away In the gathering twilight, this course of ser mons was projected. 'Wondrous Fgypt! Land of ancient pomp and pride. YClieie Beauty walks bv hoary Ruin's side, Where plentv reigns mid still the seasons smile. And rolls rich gift of God cxlinustlcss Nile." TOOK HIS OWN LIFE. A WEALTHY NEW YORK TOBACCO MEECIIANr COMMITS SUICIDE. It "Was at First Reported as a Sadden Death An Effort by the Family to Sappress the Fact Falls Ill-Health the Cause. Xkw York, Oct 18. Special Alex ander MeLeod Agncw, the wealthy tobacco merchant, who "died suddenly" Friday, as announced in the papers this morninjr, committed suicide. There was an attempt on the part of Mr. Agnew's relatives and others to suppress the facts. Dr. Jenkins, of '.he Coroner's office, was the man who discovered the fact of the suicide. He says he told Coroner Hanly that it was a case of suicide, and that the Coroner told hira he would send Dr. Donlin, his deputy, around to attend to it. The Coroner denied to-day that Dr. Jenkins had told him that Mr. .Agnew had killed himself. He said he was very sure he did not tell him. Dr. Jenkins reasserted that he did. Dr Jenkins said to-day: "Early yester day morning I received a note from a medi cal friend, stating that there had been a sudden death at Mr. Agnew's home. I went around to Mr. Agnew's house and met several members of the dead man's family. They told me that Mr. Agnew had been suffering from nervousness and insomnia, and that he had fallen in tlie bathroom when taking a bath. The fall had produced cere bral hemorrhage, which, according to a physician, had caused death. "There was a small wonnd over the right temple, which resembled a bruise or scratch more than anything else. On examination I found that the wound was produced by a pistol shot, probably'of 32 caliber, and 'the pistol I discovered" under the body. The family were greatly surprised at my dis covery." Coroner Hanley said that he called at the house while Dr. Jenkins was. there and that he was informed that Mr. Agnew had died of cerebral hemorrhage. "Thev told me," he said, "that it was all right; that it wasn't my case; that a doctor had been in attend ance, ami that if I was needed I would be sent for." It is not suspected that Mr. Agnew had any other reason for suicide than bad health. BUENED AND MELTED. Safes From the Mingo Junction "Wreck Examined Yesterday. Special Agent Geigcr, of the Adams Ex press Company, arrived from Columbns Saturday, and took charge of the five safes that were in the wreck at Mingo Junction Friday last. He had the safes opened, and the contents were found to be badly burned. Several bass of coin were melted, also a lot of jewelry, which is claimed by the owner to have been worth $9,000, but his receipt only called for 51,000. Mr. Geiger was unable to state what the loss would be to the company, hut it would be heavy. The safes were sealed and taken by hint to "Washington last night, and the contents will be turned over to the Treasury Department for redemption.

GARDENERS HAPPY OVER FROSTS. Buff Hides and Calfskins 'still Slow and Steers Steady. A BOSTON VIEW OP TIIE SHOE TRADE Office of Fnrsr.cno Dispatch, Saturday, Oct. 17. S In reviewing the trade features of the week we note the great scarcity and sharp advance of creamery butter. A month ago orders tor Elgin creamery were promptly filled, and the rule was that jobbers here received more than ordered. Now the sit uation is reversed. Jobbers dare not count on receiving halt the amount of Elgin ordered. The advance this week on choice stock has been equal to 4c per pound in a j'obbing way. Probabilities are, however, that a reaction will come to the present boom, as supplies of milk in dairy re gions have recovered somewhat of late from the shortage caused by September drouth. Receipts or grapes have greatly de clined since last Sunday's frosts, and values have as a consequence moved up hhrher. Last week the daily receipts wero a dozen carloads. This week not hair that number have been received, mid the end of the sea son draws nigh. Xearby gardeners are, niter long waiting, able to secure a fair price for their products. Said an old-time Xeville Island gardener to-day: "Until the past week garden stuff has been begging for buyers nil the fall. We had plenty of every thing, but could get little or nothing for it. Two weeks ago tomatoes were slow at throe bushels for $1 00, now we nre able to get $1 00 to SI 25 per bushel for choice stock." In cereal lines the feature of the week has been the downwnrd dritt of corn. The new corn crop begins to show un. While Septem ber's heat was adverse to dairy products, it proved a mighty help to the corn crop, and the effects are already felt in declining prices. For the same reason, hogs and hog products have been seeking a lower level the past week or two. Harness Leather. Markets are quiet and movement is not what was hoped for by tanners. Prices in leather lines are unchanged, and choice stook is firm at quotations. Following nro the prices or harness leather, as established by the Allegheny tanners: No. 1 trace, 38c per lb: B trace. 38c per lb: ho. 1 extra heavv. 100 lbs aud over.

The featnrcs of the markets in this lino vary little from what they were a week ago. Buff hides and calkskins are very slow at quotations, and steer hides are steady. Prices remain nsa week ago.

Following is the view of markets in this lino as given in the Boston Herald's trade col umn: 'The qniet tone of tho boot and shoe mar ket previously noted still prevails. Manu facturers have not made a successful full season in hardly any class of goods, though trade has been Detter'or late than early in the season. Rut the orders in duplicate on fall goods are not very satisfactory, "and not up to expectations. Snoh being" the case, manvof the leading manufacturers are rnn ning" out the last of their orders on fhll goods, and are preparing to soon take stock and get ready to commence on sprini? goods. It is rnther early for such a commencement, it is true, but thero is the alternative of shutting down the factories for a season, or besinning on. spring goods rather earlier than is desirable. Some of the leading manufacturers have already considerable orders for spring goods on hand or in sight. Resides the sales of samples are reported to be larger thau usual in these spring goods, tip to the present time, and this gives manufacturers the coinage to begin early on spring goods. They reason that if tlfe samples are reasonable heard from, they nro fairly sure of a good spring trade. Financially they are in better condi tion than n yearago. A nnmberof prominent concerns that are accused of making goods at ruinous prices have failed, and the field is now clear lor the more careful and conserva tive houses. It is reasoned that competition cannot possibly be as bad for the careful boot and shoe manufacturer this year as it was last, while the chances for business are believed to be better. On the whole, the out look is hopeful, and not without good rea sons. The condition of the country has never been better, nnd it is only some element in herent in the business itself that enn con spire to hinder a good boot and shoo trade the coming season.

Lato Cool Wave Sends Fruits and Garden. Stuff Upward. CREAMERY BUTTER STILL SCARCE. Shell Corn on the recline , and Other Ce reals Are Steady. COFFEES LOWER AND SDGAES WEAK Office of Pittsbuho Dispatch, Saturday, Oct. 17. 1 Country Produce Jobbing Prices The sharp frosts of the past few nights have checked the great rush of grapes to our markets, and prices are firm. It is esti mated that 800 carloads of grapes in the vineyards of Chautauqua county, New York, came to an untimely end by reason of this week's frosts. All garden stuff is on the advance since the arrival of the cold wave. Tomatoes have trebled in value the past week. Creamery butter of high grade is in very short supply. Our jobbers report that it is impossible to secure one-half the amount necessary for their trade. The shrinkage of milk from the effects of Sep tember's drought is estimated from 80 to 75 per cent. Potatoes are coming in more freely of late, and prices are barely -teady. Einanas have been in light supply this week, and demand has also been light.

A FAVORABLE BANK STATEMENT, BUT IT IS DISCOUNTED. Tlie Result Is That Stocks Were High in the First Fart of the Day and Lower Later On Early Gains More Than Neutral ized. New York, Oct. 17. Tho stock market to day was quiet, and after continuing strong during most of tho session, yielded to re newed bear pressure, and the early gains were wiped out in almost every case among the active shares. The opening was made on a moderate vol ume of business, but first prices wero from to percent higher than last night's figures, supported by further pnrchases for foreign account nnd considerable buying for tho shorts. The market continued to im prove on a small volume of business until after the i9suo of the bank statement, which showed a large increase in cash and a gain in the surplus reserve of $2,S90,0OVbut the buying during the earlier part of the day had been to discount this favorable exhibit, and there was a rush of the trading element In the final dealings to put &ut another line of shorts, based on the withdrawal of the support given daring the last fow days. The result was that prices yielded rapidly in the Inst few minutes' trading, and almost without exception the previous gains were neutralized with something lost in addition. The trading during the entire session tailed to exhibit any feature of note. The early advances were confined to fractions nrtd were very uniform throughout the active list, while the later declines possessed the same quality. Atchison, Northern Pacific preferred, Mis souri Pacific, Louisville and Nashville, Union Pacific, St. Paul and Lackawanna were the leading active stocks, but in neither was there any remarkable trading. The market finally closed quiet and heavy nt the decline, with most stocks at a shade under first prices. The final ohanges.are all insignificant, but declines abound. The total sales or stocks to-day were 119. 441 shares including Atchison, 11,230: Chi cago Gas, 3 280; Delaware.

WONDERFUL OIL WELL The Old Mathews Gusher Hade a Fine Spurt When Agitated. TOTAL 0.UTPUT CLIMBING UPWABD. it Beached G2.000 Tarreh Testerday-, Greatest Yet recorded. BIG SALE OP PBOPERTI AT WILDW00D The production of the McDonald oil field reached the unprecedented amount of C2.000 barrels yesterday. This is an increase of 10,000 barrels a day since Thursday. Friday it increased from 02,000 to 53,000 barrels, and Saturday it was 63,000 barrels. This enormous output may go as high as 75,000 barrels this week, as there are from 10 to 15 wells, located on good lines, which should be completed within the next six days. They are expected to brin? the production tip many thousands of- barrels. This little field is rapidly climbing to the point attained by the Bradford wplls, al though it would scarcely be noticed in point of territory if placed beside its big upper country neighbor. The Great :Tathevra Gush or. Probably the most remarkable well in the field is the Ho. 1 on the Mathews farm, which belongs to Guffey, ilurpby, Jennings, Galloway & Galev. Certain it is that little else was talked about Saturday by the men in the oil business. Tt was agitated a few moments Saturday and tor the first hour or two after it was drilled it made 720 barrels an hour, and then settled down to 450 or 500 barrels. What makes this well so remarkable is the fact that it was struck July 16, over three 'months ago, and since that time has produced over 300,000 barrels. The full capacity of this well has never been known before. For several weeks after it was first struck it never varied a barrel from 40 barrels an hour. It was then considered the best well in the field. Finally they run the tools in it, and it jumped to 140 barrels an hour, and maintained this gait for a lung period. Becoming bolder the owners de cided to give it a few more licks with the tools. Their surprise can be imagined when its production jumped to 240 barrels an hour and remained at 225 barrels for several weeks. It had dropped to 200 barrels an hour Saturday, when they agi tated it again, and boomed its output to more than 700 barrels in GO minutes. This great well is located about a mile northwest of Koblestown. and two miles northeast of McDonald. It is on a 45-dcgree line, northeast and southwest, with the 31c Curdy field, the Baldwin well, the Elliott No. 3. the big Mevey No. 1 of Greenlee & Forst, and Hays & Gartland's Miller farm wells. The production of the wplls, in which J. M. Guffey and Mr. Mur phy are interested amounted yesterday to mare than 38,000 barrels. Hays & Gart land's No. 4 on the Miller farm came in Saturday afternoon and is making 150 bar rels an hour. The production of four wells on this farm, which are located within a radius of 500 feet, amounts to 10,800 barrels a day. Wells About Finished. Greenlee & Forst Nos. 3 and 4 on the Mevey farm are on top of the fifth sand and will be drilled in to-day. Guckert & Steele's No. 2 on the Mevey should be in the fifth sand this week. George S. Martin & Co. 'swell on the Heiser lot is through the fifth and light. It was only one loca tion from the Boyal Gas Company's No. 3 Sauters. Martin & Co.'s well on the Druart property is through the Gordon sand and will get the fifth this week. Leg gett & Haymaker's venture on the Tourney property is due inthefifthbeforemanvdays. Y. P. Black & Co.'s well on the Crooks lot, which had been shot and was making 250 hnrrels a day, suddenly broke loose Saturday, and is putting out 25 barrels an hour. There are a dozen new rigs going up in the vicinity of AV. P. Bend's well. Black & Co.'s well on the Miller property, back of Oakdale, wa3 reported to be ten leet in the fifth sand last night, and showing small. McCurdy The Forest Oil Company's No. 1 on the J. N.

Wildwood Greenlee & Forst have jnst sold a large block of property in this field to Rtddlcsperger Bros., of AVarren, Pa., for 550,000.

The totil production is 205 barrels, which makes the average per b .rrel for the property a fraction less than 5244. Saturday Oil .Markets.
