The only noticeable feature of the fifth sand in the McDonald oil field Saturday was the Increase of the Xo. 3 Matthews, be longing to Guffey, Jennings & Co., from (50 to 110 barrels an hour. It is at least 1,200 feet northwest from this company's Xo. 1 on the J. J. Matthews farm, and shows a wide scope of oil-producing rock to the west. It is not, however, as far to the west as the same parties Xo. 1 on the Matthews heirs farm. The latter well is. morever, at least 500 feet east of the Oakdale Oil Company's Xo. 1. on the Hutchinson farm, which is ex pected to recede the fifth early this week. Xorthwest of this apain is the well of the Oakdale Oil Company, on the Gormley farm, which should be in the fifth sand be fore many days. The greatest oil producing sand in the whole field was under the Matthews and the Snsan Herron farms. The Bell farm has also produced a big lot of oil and Gnftey, Jenninps & Co.'s Xo. 6 on the Bell farm should be in the fifth sand early this week and then Xos. 4 and 5 on this property are also near the last stratum. Their Xo. ."ion the Herron is the next due on that property. On the "Wallace farm the Oakdale Oil Com pany should get its Xo. 5 into the fifth sand this week, and Guffey, Murphy & Gjley's Xo. 5, on the Elliott "farm, is also near the fifth. The Oakdale Oil Company has a couple of wells on the Sturpcon heirs' prop erty, which shonld be in the Gordon before Wednesday. Operations at McDonald. Down at McDonald the Royal Gas Com pany's Xo. 6 on the Sauters farm is on top of the fifth sand. Their Xo. 4 on the Mary Robb property is just above the Gordon sand, and the Royal Gas Company and Gibboney will get the Gordon within the nexfthrec-days on the Sauters property, northeast of McDonald borough. Schreffler & Russell's well on the Moorhead property in McDonald borough and only a short distance from Robison & Co-'s big Gordon tand well on the Pasher lot, was three feet in the Gordon and show ing only a little oil, but as the best pay on the Gordon-is- not struck before at least 12 feet no one has the temerity to predict that the well will be a failure. "The iact is that none of these wells were tny good before they reached a depth of at least 12 feet in the Gordon sand. Some of them were compelled to go deeper than this before striking the pay. Greenlee & Forst's venture on the Glad den farm npar the Moorhead well, a mile south of McDonald, did not get into the Gordon Saturday, as expected. The above well, together w'ith A. J. Mercer & Co.s Xo. 1 Reed, three miles southwest, and the Venhne Oil Company's Xo. 1 Woods, half a mile south of the Rend Xo. 1, should all be in the third sand to-day. They form a line across the theoretical Gordon sand belt running from the west in a north-cast direc tion for nearly three miles. They are all very important wells and are being watched wi(h a great deal of inter est, as upon them rests the value of thousands of acres of land. If they prove to be good averaee Gordon sanders there will be wells drilling on every farm between them within two weeks. Hartman & Co.'s well on the J. R. Kelso farm, not over a mile cast of the McCarty well of Mellon & Co., will not be bctte'r than a 50 barreler in the Gordon sand. The owners are very anxious to have a line laid io it Dorman & Co. on the Wade farm will get the Gordon to-day or to-morrow. It is not over 1,000 feet sonth of McDonald station. They Are 3fot Ho'dlng Cp. Some of the late Gordon wells down around Laurel Hill and between that point and Xoblestown. have fallen off very fast in the last three or four days. The owners of nearly all of them are making prepara tion to tube and pump them. The best Gordon sandcr in that locality at present is Xolan & Co.s on the Bobbin's lot. Green lee & Forst should reach the filth to-dav in their Xo. 11, on the Mevey farm, which is located on the southern pjrt of the farm near the Xoblestown road. Bartlett & Co.. on the Couch lot, will be in the third sand some time to-day if they have no bad luck. The Forest Oil Company's Xo. 1. on the Margaret McGregor farm, north of Oakdale, is almost through the fifth sand and prac tically dry. The same company is spud ding in its Xo. 1, on the Saiii Sturgeon farm, northeast of Oakdale .and just south of the Kemp farm. The Matt Crouse well, at Oakdale, belonging to Gardiner, Snyder & Co., is through the fifth and will not be better than a four or five-barrel well. Xearly C,OCO Barrels Production. Hahmony This section of Butler county is again rising in the estimation of oil pro ducers. It is being thoroughly drilled, and it may yet have a production which will rival some of its" jealous neighbors. Already it is putting out about 5,635 barrels a day, or nearly double the present production of Wild wood. It is only within the lat two or three months that this field has come into general notice. For a while last spring and even into the summer it was scarcely deemed worthy of notice, but the opening of the pool to the northwest of Harmony and northeast of Zclienople gave it a decided boom. The following is a list of the wells in the field and their daily production: Kennedv & Co.'s Xo. 1 Eicho"ltz; CO; Xo. 2 Eicholtz, 100. McKinney & Co.'s Xo. 1 McCurdv, SO.

Last Thursday a report was sent out from Marietta to the cflect that a well on the D ve Brooks farm, 15 miles from Marietta, near Archer's Forks, was making 12 barrels an hour. Scouts were immediately sent down from Pittsburg. They returned yesterdav and reported that the story was a'fake, anj that there is not the slightest indication of oil at the well Trading Moderate, but the Feeling a Ut ile More Bullish. Trading was fair in tho aggregate, footing up about 75,000 barrels, and the feeling was a little more bullish on symptoms of a de cline in the field, but with several wells at McDonald about ready to come in, enthusi asm wasnot to ho expected. Fluctuations for the day and week are shown in the fol lowing table: FEATURES OF TRADE. Holiday Goods Now Have the Call, bnt in All Other Lines BUSINESS IS SAID TO BE QUIET.

The Plttsburs-Dnnuesne Traction Deal the I'rincipal Event No Sprcial Influences to Affect Trading Office Business of Good Proportions Sales and Quotation. The event of the week in local stock cir cles was the consummation of the agree ment between the Pittsburg and Duquesne Traction Companies, by which they will hereafter be operated by one management. The burden of opinion seems to be that the removal of all caue for friction between the late rivals will increase their earning capacity, strengthen public confidence and nnng their bonds ana stccks into more act ive request. The market pursned a comparatively even course during the week, there being no radi cal price changes, and no special influences to turn the scale one way or another. Clos ing figures, as compared with those of the previous Saturday, show these results: Cen tral Traction trained . Citizens' i: Pleasant Valley , Switch and Sisnal , and Airbrake 1; People's Pipeage declined 1, Philadel phia Gns , Luster Ve. and Electric . Of the unlisted tractions the only one showins a departure worthy of note was Duquesne. It was weaker. Sales Saturday were 10 shares of inter prise Savings Llank at 00, 100 Philadelphia Gas at 1Zi, and 30 Luster at 9K- Sales for the week were 2,795 shares, against 3,256 the previous week. Luster led with 610 shares, followed bv Philadelphia Gas with 435, and Duquesne Traction with 332. Office trading was better than for some time. Sales of bonds reached nearly $175,000. Increase of funds at nearly all the finan cial centers was the feature of the week in banking circles. Business, however, was satisfactory, bank clearings bavins been nearly $1,000,000 in excess ortho-e of the pre vious week and upward of $1,500,000 greater than for the corresponding time last year. Trade was alone time catching up with the rapid gait of 1S90, but it has finally forged ahead. Business is not only better than it was in tho closing weeks of last year, but conditions and influences are Infinitely more favorable. There is nothing in steht to prevent a continuance of the forward im pulse which has set in.

A survey of the week's trade furnishes few features worthy of note. In general, business has been quiet and the volume light. Dairy products of high grade are a shade firmer under the influence of colder weather, but there has been no advance in prices during the week. Country butter continues to be a drug, and only fancy stock is wanted. Creamery is firm, as is cheese of choice grade. The movement of game and poultry is more active than it was a week ago, and prices are a shade better. Strictly fresh eggs are almost as scarce as hen's teeth. The few offered are quickly taken at outside prices. Alas! for the weakness of human nature, storage eggs are made to do duty as fresh laid to a large degree. Among the features of the week is an im proved demand for tropical fruits, especially bananas and lemons, which are a shade higher. Florida oranges are still in supply above demaud and markets are slow. In grocery lines the drop of Jc per lb in susar has been the week's feature. Before the drop prices were so low that the job ber's profit was almost wiped out. Kew stock cannot be laid down without loss and the wholesale grocer who has to lay down sugar at present prices must needs work for glory, and that at some expense, until there is a change toward better prices. The coffee situation continues to show great firmness, but prices are unchanged compared with a week ago. Xot a Good Tlmo for Cereals. Cereals are not so firm as they were at the beginning of the week and corn is a shade lower. According to precedent, markets in this line will be dull until after the holiday season is over, and in this faith dealers buy only for immediate wants. By reference to trie home market column it will be seen that receipts of grain and hay for the week were unusually large. As compared with last week the increase was close to 100 carloads. That our require ments in this line are large is proved by the fact that 337 carloads were bulletined at the Grain Exchange between December 11 and December 18. Not 10 per cent of this amount was sold on call at the .ex change. It is plain, therefore, that the office trade is large or stuff is accumulating heavily. The hid and leather situation has under gone few changes in the week past. There is a slichtlv improved tone to the trade in heavy harness leather. Medium and light weights are still dull and slow. Light hides are scarcely as firm as they were at this time last week. Then there was a gen eral expectation of stronger markets, which expectation proved to be a vain one. Green calfskins are active and firm, with a fair prospect of an advance. In general, the Tolunie of trade in regular lines has been light all the week, and little improvement is looked for until after New Years. Only holiday goods show signs of activity. Uses for Old Shoes. The Youth's Companion contained the fol lowing interesting item on the uses to which old shoes are put in the Old World, where economy is studied to perfection : "In France cfiildren's shoes are cut from the larger pieces which are obtained bv ripping up old boots, but in this country, as well as abroad, the practice now is to convert the scraps into a leather pulp, which may be so treated as to produce a substitute for the real article, cheap and comparatively worthless, of course. "Of late the manufacture of an artificial leather wall covering, selling under a high sounding name, makes a market for all the worn out boots and shoes of the American people, so that in its revised form the dis carded footwear of the most wretched of earth's children may look down for years upon the scenes of splendor such as the for lorn wearer saw not even in his dreams. "There are other uses as well, including the manufacture of buttons, combs, knife handles and other articles which are inter esting, but of which the public know little. Carriage makers, book-binders and picture frame makers consume this artificial leather to a certain extent for their cheaper grades of work." The South and Trade. The Manufacturers' Record has this to say of business prospects in the South: "The past week has shown a very decided in crease in the number of industrial enter prises organized and projected throughout the South, and a careful study of the whole situation and of the plans that are being matured for many others seem to indicate a tendency to a more general activity than has been seen for many months. It is true that there is considerable complaint of dull ness and of slow collections in some places, but the outlook apparently shows that the South, in sympathy with the whole coun try, is gradually entering upon a period of renewed activity, the full force of which will not, however, be seen until after the first of the year, and possibly not until the spring." CHICAGO There was a decided improve ment in the amount of business done in the wheat pit on tho Board of Trade to-day in comparison with that .of the past few days, though it was chiefly of a local character. Prices started at about the closing figures of yesterday, but the tone of the market was hesitating and uncertain for a time. Tho chief influence here during the week has been tho foreign situation, which has been- Intensely bearish. Both the British nnd continental markets have not only been quoted lower from day to day, but accumulated stocks and a very limited demnnd were noted in day cable ad vices. For tho last two days, however, the sentiment here f eemed to be veering toward the bull side, nnd operators were moro and more Inclined to think tho prices had reached a point at which it would pay to buy. It needed hut a turn in the trend of foreign advices to translate this sentiment Into a moderato buying movement. There was no furore in the market, bnt a strong, confident feeling and good liberal buying. Trade, however, was neither henvy nor very broad. May opened at 97c, tonehei 97JJc, weakened to 975c, reacted to 9Sc. held around 97c for a time, weakened to97Jc. but rallied some near the last and closed firm at 97Kc. Corn was decidedly weak early. Improve ment in the inspection started pretty liberal selling, and weakness was at once apparent. A drop of 2o in December corn at Xew York increased the depression. Later, on the ad vance in wheat, tho tone of corn improved, but it became unsettled during the last hour, going still lower and doting near the bot tom. The market was rather nervous. De cember opencdljc lower at 17Kc, and fluc tuating as noted above, receded to 45Jc and closed at 16c. January shows a loss of lc and May of Vcjc. Oats steady and withot feature. Hog products were lower. Packers were free sellers from the start. The close was near the bottom figures of the day. The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M.

( Country Produce (Jobbing Prices) The week's windup was far from lively in this line of trade. Cold weather has served to strengthen, in a measure, poultry and dairy product markets, but prices fail to advance to any extent. Country butter is still a drug, as it has been for a month or more. Quality of offerings in this line is not high as a rnle, and oleo is preferred to suspicious butter. Eggs that are fresh laid do. not come to market except in a very small way, and all that come are promptly taken at outside prices. Fruits and veg etables are quiet at old prices. Florida oranges are m excessive supply, and are very dull at a decline from former rates. Apples, too, are heavy stock, but bananas aro steady. AppLES-f l M2 00 per Barrel.

RICE Head Carolina, OSfOKc; Erio Still L-nds In Activity, While Louis ville and Nashville Scores the Largest Advance .V Very Favorable Back State ment Will Improve Matters. New York. Dec. 19. Tho stock market to day was a legitimate continuation of those of the last few days, there being still the very pronounced bnying by commission houses, whiio tho selling remained princi pally professional and without significance. The temper, while strong almost through out, was heavy nt times under the pressure or, first, the bears, and second, further reali zations. Tho creat feature of the day was the con tinued purchases by tho foreisners, and the stocks which aro the greatest favorites abroad were the most prominent in the market to-dav. Among theso Erie and Louisville and Nashville were specially con spicuous, the first being ngain the leader in point of activity while scoring a marked ad vance, and tho last making the largest final gain of anything on tho active list. The maikct in general opened quiet but higher, but while bear pressure caused the loss of the openimr gains in the early deal ings the concession was only momentary, and the whole list soon resumed its steady upward march. Xo slsrns of a reaction was seen nntil the final dealings, when realiza tions on advances caused some hesitation; but the close was still activo and firm to strong at near tho highest prices of the day. Among the activo shares the final prices show small cains, as a rnle, but Louisville nnd Nashville is up l1; Wabash preferred, 1. and Cotton Oil, 1 per cent. Railroad bonds wero again especially active, displaying the same stubborn strength as has been seen in the share list, and while the more prominent issues failed to scoro nny substantial improvement, all S rices are hizhcr this evening. The total ealings for tho two honrs were $2,102,500, out of which the Atchison income furnished $362,000 and the St. Louis Southwestern firsts $123,000. Among the more important changes in quotations are Chesapeake and Ohio, R. A. seconds 2 per cent to 78. The lollowlng table shows the prices of active stocks on the New York Exchange vesterday.
