EEED WRLL DOUBTFUL Many Widely Different Accounts Given of It by the Owners. DOING FROM 25 TO 200 BARRELS. Gladden YTell Drj in the Gordon Sand, Others in the Fifth. PRODUCTION IS DEOPHNG KAPIDLT The Reed farm well of Mercer and the Pittsburc Oil Comjianv, three miles south ivet of McDonald, is still the topio of con lersation amonc the southwestern operators. The different stories being told by the owners are puzzling outsiders. Since the well reached a depth of 2,000 feet there has been an evident attempt to shroud it jn mystery. Jleports were circulated by interested parties when it reached the Gordon sand that a vein of salt water had been struck which would have to be cased ofi. After a reasonable delay the same par ties stated, m answer to inquiries, that the nater had not been catcd off because a load, of casiny had disappeared. "o onef seemed to lnow whether the cn'-iiR had been side tracked on the lAil-oad. or dumped into a convenient mud hole by an Irresponsible teamster. It was onli" a snort time alter mis statement until it ijas reported to he within a few feet of the fi:Bi sand. hen the well was said to be flllettup -with lh-sanil oil last Thursdav the statement f s renerallv discredited, as many believed f us onl in the Gordon and Saturday one w the owners -tated that the well nu flow irseverv 15 or 20 minutes from the ton of fie fifth, and that it was good for from 230 to W barrels, a day as it then stood. The latest vport from it. however, rather takes the zlamour off this last statement. Yesterday another man who is interested in the well made the assertion that it was 14 leet in the flth sand, and would not make riioi e t nan a 23 or30-barrel well. There is only onc 250-barrel tank at the well, and as only one more small tank has been oidered, the , 25 or 30-barrel estimate appears the more "credible. " From Disinterested Turtles. Disinterested persons who w ere at the well yesterday say that it will not do more than 40 barrels a day. Notwithstanding this another ow ner asserted positively last evening that it was at least a200-barrel well, and that it was onlv three or four leet in the sand.

An Active Demand for East End Acreage for Improvementi THE KIMICK DEAL IN GOOD SHAPE. Shadyside DeTelopment the Comins Tear promises Good Eesnlts. STA1US OP CHEIST CHURCH PE0PEETT An interesting feature of the real estate market at present is an active inquiry for acreage in the East End. Several syndi cates, to say nothing of individuals, are looking for this kind of property, but with out much success so far on account of the firmness of owners. The most promising negotiation known to be in progress in volves a large tract in the Eighteenth ward. The price has been agreed upon, but there is a hitch in regard to terms. In "the Twenty-third ward several deals which have been under way for two or three months, are likely to be closed soon after New Years. Nearly all of these dickers involve building schemes of more or less importance. It was thought last week that the sale 01 tne Niraick property, 30 acres, at Wilkinsburg, would fall through, but it was learned yes terday that the difficulty had been over come and the. transaction ratified. Some Figures Named. ' There is considerable doubt connected with the disposition of the Christ Church property, principally as to whether it will be sold as a whole or in parcels, and at private or public sale. A leading member of the congregation said yesterday that the trustees were committed to neither ot these methods. All they wanted was the best price they could. possibly get for the prop erty. He added: "I do not think it will realize as much as was calculated upon just after the fire. Prices paid for the Govern ment and other properties on that avenue show that our original fisjures were too high. Still, it should bring $200,000 at the very least. I do not mention these figures as a guide to bidders, for I do not know that they would be accepted. The scarcity of well located sites of the size of this one ought to be an important factor in influenc ing the-judgment and governing the action ot buyers." Improvements at Sliadyside. Shadyside is full of building schemes, all substantially backed, ana, therefore, reason ably certain of being carried out. While a few of the promoters are talking of blocks and rows, the most of the improvements will be single houses, generally of a high class, for well-to-do people, who have ac quired a taste for rural comforts. Accord ing to indications the center of activity will be between Fifth and Ellsworth avenues, although other quarters will receive atten tion. Plans for a number of fine houses are under way, and work on them will begin early in the spring. The progress of this district in the last three or four years has been remarkable, and the spirit of improve ment seems to be even more aggressive than at any former period. A Big Undertaking. The work of filling up the McGinness property on Fifth avenue, nearly opposite the TJrsnlinc Convent, is one of the heaviest jobs of the kind ever undertaken hereabouts, but it is beginning to show substantial prog ress. It is the biggest "dump" on the ave nue, and a great deal of material will be re quired to bring it up to the level of sur rounding property, whiclvit is proposed to do, and which will no doubt be done in the course of time. It will be valuable prop erty when improved according to t&e plans under which work is being prosecuted. An Enterprising Woman. "Where there's a will there's a way. Suc cess in business dependsiipon the individ ual more than upon fortuitous circumstances or surroundings. Few, if any, of Pitts burg's rich men were "born with silver' spoons in their months." A woman, well known on Fourth avenue, where she finds employment as an office cleaner, which brings her about $30 a month, has contrived to save enough money in the last few years to purchase ground on Fifth avenne, in the Soho district, and build a row of four sub stantial brick' houses. They are not quite completed, but soon will be. She expects the rent from these buildings will keep her inher old age With such an example as this to stimulate his efforts, no one should despair of acquiring a home. Business News and Gossip. The tone of the street yesterday was rather bearish. Holiday sentiment is seldom buoy ant. It is said fire insurance rates all over the country are to be increased. Boston has started the movement. Plans have been prepared for an extensive addition to the lower Allegheny shops of the Pittsburg Locomotive Works. Pittsburg is full of building schemes for next year. Should there be no labor trouble great progress will be made 111 providing homes for the people, so says the Southern Lumberman.

THE HOLIDAY DID NOT WHET THE APPETITE OF INVESTORS. Luster Dobs Up in Time toetave the Day From Disaster Xo Price Changes Worth, Considering Expectation of Busy Times After New Year's. Speculation was very tame yesterday. The long holiday instead of whetting theappe titofor stocks, had the effect of dulling it. There was no accumulation of orders, ana the tone was bearish. The first two calls passed without a sale and the third had a narrow escape. Luster was the only active interest.- It sold to the extent of 111 shares at 8. B and 8 the inside figure for one share. Philadelphia Gas broke a small fraction. There was little or no change In other parts of the list. Tho following bids were made on bonds: Pittsburg Traction first mortgage 6'n, 117; Pittsburg and Western general mortgage 4's, 83; Citizens' Traction 5's, 106; Pittsburg Incline Piano first mortgage 6's, 105; same, second mortgage 6's, 100. The situation, so far as stocks are con cerned, is tho best of the year, and great confidence is felt in a general rally soon after the turn of rlie year. Easy money is the basis of this expectation.

CENTRAL DOESN'T DEPIJES5 THE LIST. Gonlil Shares Very Prominent in the Deal ings Realizing on Last Month's Profits Makes a Heavy General Market Bonds Still Active and WH Distributed. New; York, Dec. 28. Tho rise in stocks was not, in general, commensurate with the amount of business done, and the advance was not so steady as it has been for the last week or two. Tljo demand was in a great measure mado by the .shorts who put out their lines during the last week; but while the new buying was largo and influential the realizing on the profits accrued during tho last month was sufficient to eive the market a heavy tempor at times, and some of tne leading shates are even fractionally lower this evening, while New York Central is actually over 1 per cont lower. The Gould shares were moie prominent in the dealings than for some time, while they were also the strong features of the day, Missouri Pacific taking the lead in the fore noon and Union Pacific, toward the close coming up with a ni-h that placed it npon'a materially higher level than on Thursday. None of the other leading shares; displayed any marked strength, but Omaha common continued its upward movement and scored the largest net advance of any stock during tne uay. Asa rule the usually active stocks moved within very narrow limits when the volume of business is considered, many bein traded in over a range of less than y, of 1 per cent. The coal stocks were quiet and withont feature, bnt the industrials were more largely traded in at advanced prices, Distillers being especially strong. The for eigners were not an influential factor in the dealings, but the West bought liberally of its specialties. Among the low-priced shares only Tennessee Coal made any marked movement, but many were unusually active without making any extended movement. The market opened very active and de cidedly stronger, but the advances over Thursday's figures extended to onlv per cent, and the nressure to sell in th cany trading and the decided weakness in New 1 oi-k central, caused a recession In the list, bringing most stocks slightly below the level of the opening figures. The market, under the urgent demand shown by the shorts, rallied quickly, and prices along the lino were advanced large fractions. The realizations in the afternoon, caused an other downward movement, wiping ou't many of the gains of the forenoou, and bringing most stocks down to the neighbor hood of first prices. The close was rather heavy, notwithstand ing the spurt in Union Pacific In the last hour. The final changes are generally small advances, but Omaha ie up 2 per cenr, Ten nessee Coal 1, Missouri Pacific 1 and Dis tillers' 1J4, while New York Central is down 1. lie ruiiroaa uona marset was still very active, with the same wide distribution of the business done, but the Reading firsts and seconds, with the Richmond and West Point Trust 5s. were specially prominent in the dealings. The last named, after selling up to 65, retired to 63, closing onlv a fraction higher than its last previous sale's. The total sales of stocks to-day were 457, 600 shares, including: Atchison, 25,930: Can ada southern, 3,070; Chicago Gas, 12,900; Del aware, Lackawana and Western, 11,610; Erie, 48,295; Lake Shore, 3,079; Louisville and Nashville, 6,720; Missouri Pacific, 19.155; Northwestern, 5,350; North American, 7,i95; Wisconsin Central, 13,150; Northern Pacific preferred, 13,460; Beading, 1660; Richmond and West Point, 34.5S0: St. Paul, 12,360; St. l'aul and Omaha, 16,53): Union Pacific, 27,000; Western Union, 5,267.

Country Produce Jobbing prices Trade inTthis line gives very few signs of life. Receipts of all kinds have been very light since Christmas, but there is still more than enough to meet all demands. The poultry glut is over, and prices are back to about the old standard. Dairy products of high grade are fairly steady, and some dealers predict an advance before the week is out. The soft, raiuy weather of last week upset many a nice-laid plan of bulls who worked for higher markets. Said a leading Liberty street commission merchant: "Trade is about as dead as it can be, and has been so for the past-week. While we receive very little stuff there is more than enough re ceived to meet all the needs of our custom ers. "VVe now expect little improvement until after the New Year is fairly open.

All gone tvo man's suffering and woman's weakness. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription puts a stop to it. It's a remedy for all the delicate de rangements and disorder's that make her suffer, and a cure for all the dis eases and disturbances that make her weak. It's a legitimate medicine, that corrects and cures ; a tonic that invigorates and builds up ; a nervine that soothes and strengthens. For bearing-down pains, displacements, and nil the f unctfonal irregularities peculiar to tho sex, it's a safe and certain remedy. Other medicines claim to cure 1 That's true. But they don't claim to do thi?: if tho "Favorite Prescription" fails to benefit or euro, in any case for which it's recommended, the money paid for it 13 refunded. Judge for yourself which is likely to be the better medicine. And think whother something else offered by-the dealer is likely to bo " just as good." You pay only for the good you get. Oa these terms it's the cheapest. A DYSPEPTIC'S AUGMENT Is a growl, and that growl marks the limit of argument with him.
