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.
Greenlee A Fprst's Xo. 1 on the Gladden
farm, near the Jloorhead. is through the
Gordon and almost dry. It will be drilled
to the fifth this week The Oakdale Oil
Companj's No.. 3 and 5 on the Sturgeon
heirs." faim are both dry in the fifth sand.
The People's Gas Company's Xo. 6 on
the Miller farm is on top of the Gordon
and. Their Miller Xo. 3 has been shot, but
was not improved. The same company is
lihing for the tools at 2,000 feet on the John
McMurray farm. The Woodland Oil Com
Tunr well on the McMurray, one mile north
ot Oakdale, is due this week. Thev have a
rishing job in Xo. 3 at 2,000. The
Forest Oil Company's Xo. 2, Jane McGill.was
aNo leported a "being dry in the fifth.
Urown A Co., on the McMurray farm, cast of
XoMestown. was through the 50-foot sand
last nisht. The Little Oil Company's well
onihe Little property in Xoblestown is 24
leet in the Gordon sand, and good for only
40 barrels a day.

beyond the opening of a few new woolens

received relatively good attention. Not
only was the demand for prints good but the
strong position or print cloths has a good
effect npon the tone of the market. As this

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.

HOME SECURITIES.
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. Bids and
offers were:

BEAR.TACTICSFAIL,
THE ATTACK ON X. Y. 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;

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.
Much, however, depends on weather."

LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
Light Beceipts at East Liberty Prices Ad
vanced on All Grades Sheep and Swine
Higher and Firm Quotations From All
Sources.
Office of The Dispatch,
Pittsburg, Monday Dec. 28. 5
Receipts of- live-stock were unusually
light at our local yards and prices showed
an upward inclination all along the line.
Prime heavy beeves are conspicuous for
their absence. All live stock of good
quality is in active demand, and
prices are much better than they
have been for a number of weeks past.
There were GO car loads of cattle on sale at
the East Liberty yards this morning against
75 loads last Monday. Chicago was the main
source of supply. Nearly two-thirds of
the offerings "were from that point. The
balance were from Ohio and Indiana. There
were no prime beeves on sale and not many
good cattle. Quality of offerings was, as it
has been for weeks past, below par. Buy
ers were not so numerous ns they have been
ot late, and.with re.ceipts far below average,
markets opened strongat an advance on last
week's prices. The advance was reported
all the way from 10 to 25c per cwt. The
highest price reported was a carload of Ohio
beeves at $4 00. A few loads were sold at
$4 73. Tho same quality of cattle which sold
at $1 75 would not have brought much above
$4 10 a v, eek ago. There was a light run of
tresh cows, and no fancy stock was offered.
For the best on sale $40 00 was the top of the
market. Veal calves weie in very light sun-
ply1, and last week's prices were well main
tained, rho top price was (c per pound.
Sheen and lambs Receipts weie nnusually
ltght. There were on sale about 8 carloads.-
Markets opened very strong at an advance
ot 25o per cwt. on nil desirable stock. Ton
price of sheep was $5 25, and lambs $5 75, with
a lew fancy bunches a shade above these
figures. Hogs There wei e about 35 car loads
on sale at the opening of markets agalnstSO
loads last Monday. M.uknts were firm at an
advance. Top price was $ 10, and the entire
range "was $3 75$4 10. Last week the top of
the market was $4 00 per cwt.
Receipts of cattle at Hen's Island were
light, as they always are in holiday week,
and supply ot desirable stock was not up to
demand. Markets opened active at an ad
vance of 10 to 15c per cwt. on last week's
prices. Best Chicago beeves were sold at
$6 00 to $6 25 per.c wt.; medium grades, $5 60 to
5 80: light weignts. St oj to & lb. and com
mon grades ranged in price from $2 60 to

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
