SOUTHSIDE PROPERTY. PICKED UP
The year opens with satisfactory evi
dences of a Fpeedy revival in general busi
ness. These are found in railroad earnings
and dividends, large exports, a stronger
iron and a plethoric money market. The
statement of exports for November was the
best ever issued, and that for December is
expected to increase still further the favor
able balance. In regard to money, if there
is any section of the country suffering for
it, it is not because there is not enough to
go round. Viewed from any standpoint,
there is good reason for entertaining hope
ful views of the year which has just opened.
Pittsburg industries have never occupied a
stronger position than they do at this
time.
A n other Tenn Avenue UeaL
Among the largest reported transactions
in real estate during the week was the sale
by Black & Baird for the "Woman's Chris
tian Association to "V. H. Keech of the
property No. 929 Penn avenue for S30.500,
spot cash. It consists of a lot 21x100, with
a three-story dwelling, which will be torn
down and replaced with a new six-story
business house. Mr. Levi "Wade, who owns
the adjoining property, will combine with
Mr. Keech and erect a similar building on
his lot. These buildings will be commenced
immediately after the expiration of the
leases April 1. .
TTrlie Ayenue Value.
A correspondent desires information in
regard to land values on "Wylie avenue.
They vary according to location and sur
roundings, as they do everywhere else. On
the lower part of the avenhe, in the Court
House district, ground is held at about 5700
a foot, and on the upper part 5400 is close
to .the proper figure. Sales on this
thoroughfare are of rare occurrenoe, and
the amount of property on the market is
limited. It is lgrgely held by estates.
General improvement schemes arc on foot
for consummation this year, one of them
being a large apartment house.
Transactions in Acreage.
It was mentioned a few days ago that
there was an active demand for acreage in
the East End. Proof of this is found in the
fact that two deals in this kind of property
have been consummated twtbin a week.
Kelly & Rogers sold an acre tract in the
Nineteenth ward for 560,000. They were not
in a position yesterday to give particulars,
but said the property would be sub-divided
in the spring. The other sale referred to
involved between five and ten acres in the
Eighteenth ward, but the price could not
be ascertained. Several acreage deals are
on the carpet a short distance down the
Fort "Wayne Railroad, one of which at
least will probably be closed in a few days.
A Southside Transfer.
During the week Peter Auen sold to 5".
F. "Walker 135 feet on Bingham street,
near South Thirteenth and Market square,
Southside, with three brick buildings, for
$22,000. This property almost adjoins the
site of the proposed market' house, and,as
that improvement will no doubt enhance
values in the locality, Mr. "Walker evi
dently had an eye to the future in making
the purchase.
Business News and Gossip.
Business was rather slow yesterday, but
there were no bad influences at work save
those of the holiday aftermath and bad

A BUOYANT BEGINNING.
A FINE WALL STREET MARKET OPENS
THE NEW YEAR.
The Low-Priced Shares Score the Big Ad
vances, and Lead Common Takes the
Lead Chicago Gas Continues to Be a
Large Factor.
New York, Jan. 2. The stock market
opened the new year to-day with an active
and buoyant speculation, tho volume of
business being something unusual for the
season of the year, as well as for a half-holiday
coming between two full ones. Among
the active stocks there was heavy buying in
which London was something of a factor,
while the demand from commission houses
continued unabated.and outsido houses con
tributed their quota to make one of themost
aetivo Saturdays seen in a year's time. '
The features of the dealings were the large
trading and verv substantial advances
among the low-priced shares, the new Lead
common scoring a gain of 7jf per cent,
though the greater part of this was the sim
ple process of "maiking up." The Indus
tr.'als were especially conspicuous in the
upward movement, and as Lead took the
lead among the unlisted shares so Chicago
Gas led the listed stocks. Among the latter,
the demand in Union Pacific, AVabash. New
EhglJlnd and C., C, C. & Si. L. was sufficient
to raise those shares to the highest prices
for some time.
The bank statement showed an extraordi
nary heavy expansion in lo.uis, but tho re
ceipts of currency were such as to cause
only a comparatively small decrease in the
surplus reserve, and it had no apparent in
fluence upon the conrse or prices.
The opening .was active and generally
large fractions higher than Thursday's

Bullish Situation.
Watson & Gibson wired tho following to
John M. Oakley & Co.: "The stocte market
never disappoints the bulls any more. It
sold off one to two points early in the week,
bat the decline bronghtin buyers and specu
lators, who were conservative and played
for a reaction of twice as'much, lost their
stocks. It did not take them long to get
around on the bull side, however, and the
street is now almost uniformly bullish.
This unanimity of opinion is necessary to
make high prices and a hull market, but it
usually leads to sharp reactions. It is not
difficult to carry stocks now.'Ior money is in
fnll supply. Oneelementof the strength that
tue mareec win nave 13 tne investment oy
money lenders in bonds and high class
stocks of the funds which they would ordi-.
narily prefer to lend on gortU securities at
fair rates, which cannot now be done. Later
in the winter we believe commercial busi
ness will improve and a better demand will
sprimr un for money, but we shall have at
least CO days of comparative ease.
"Tho hank statement showed a gain of
nearly $ll,(X,O0O in deposits, and an actual
gain in cah of about $500,01', but the in
cieased reserve requiiements reduced the
legal reserves by nearly $2,250,000. The
banks now hold $17,213,300. The feature of
the market was Lead Trust common, which
roc7 points fiom Wednesday's closing.
The preferred rose a little, but lost most of
its gain, for there seemed to bo but Tew or
ders in it. The stock is a 7 per cent pre
ferred one and is very cheap at 81. Chicago
Gas was another active industrial and justi
fied the recent claims of its friends. The
Grangers weie neglected. Louisville, Xash

Western common are said to be prime spec
ulative low-priced stocks. We favor West

"iVeek's Exchanges.
The banks did a good business yesterday,
while the total for the week, five days, was
upward of $1,500,000 in excess of tho corre
sponding time last year. There was a fair
demand for accommodations from business
sources, while the supply was more than
enouih to go around. The Clearing House
statement shows these results:
Saturday's exchanges $ 3,053.367 C3
Saturday's balances 414,013 46

Statistics from reliable sources show that
the total amount of checking through the
Clearing Honse the past year was, in round
numbers, $796,000,000. The Farmers' Denosit
National Bank comes first witli $87,000,000;
the Pittsburg National Bink of Cominerco
next with $63,000,000; the First National, $61,
OOO.OCO; the People's, with $57,000,000, nnd so

FIRST BLOOD FOR BEARS.
Grain Speculators 'Who Banked on a New
Year Rise Are Badly Bitten All Cere
als and Bog Products Down Cables
Against the Bulls Tho Cold Wave.
CHICAGO The action of the wheat mar
ket here to-day was a surprise and a disap
pointment to a" majority of tho operators.
The crowd had apparently loaded up last
week with the expectation that the advent
oftho new year would bring a revival of
trade and better prices. Prices, instead of
going up, went down, and there was very
little recovery.
In the caily dealings there was a fair
amounj of activity, but the market became
as dull as it was in the early part or the
week, and telegrams from other trading
centers indicated a similar state of affairs.
The outside public has not resumed its in
terest in the market since the holidays.
Cables were discouraging. The cold wave
which has been looked for for some time,
was reported to be s-preading out over the
winter wheat belt, where the mercury was
dropping; hut this did not avail to turn the
tide, especially as snow was reported as ac
companying in places.
The pressure 10 sen January naa a de
pressing effect on May. January, which
closed at 90c Thursday, or ened at 90e, sold
off to ESKc nnd closed at S8c. May, which
closed at 95c Thursday, opened at 93Jc,
selling at once at 95:, sagged off steadily to
94Jc, and closed at 9lc, a loss of 1 cent.
Corn Quiet and inclined to weakness
early in the dny, but finally tteadled and
held fairly firm. The close was steady at
the bottom figures of the day, and at losses
ranging from i to X cent for the various
futures compared with Thursday.
Oats Dull and weak, closing with a loss
ofKSJsC-
Hoi products opened higher, but when it
was known that large receipts ot hogs were
expected Monday and next week there was
a snarp decline. This was also assisted by
rather free deliveries, which the recipients
undertook to get rid of. There was some le
covery irom bottom figures, nnd the close
shows moderate losses lor pork and ribs,
while lard is unchanged to a little higher.

THE DOUGHERTY WELL
Was Malring30 Barrels an Hour From
the Gordon Sand Yesterday.
GE0R6ET0WN WELL IS FLOWING.
Eeliaolo Ecporfs Give It as Doing Ileven
Barrels an Iloar.
SOUTH WIST ll'CDRDI WELLS LIGHT
There was little work done in the oil
fields yesterday, as those who laid off for
New Years will not go back until to-morrow
morning. The well of Shay & Co. on
the Dougherty lot, east of Laurel
Hill, was reported yesterday morn
ing to be making 40 barrels an
hour, and of course was the
general topic of the day. It is only in the
Gordon sand, and this,'if true, would make
it the greatest Gordon sander in the field.
This report was afterward cut down to 30
barrels an hour. The well is a surprise to
almost every opsrator in the field. It is at
least 1,000 feet east of other completed wells
and in isolated territory. Already several
locations have been made around it. The
People's Gas Company has commenced the
erection of two rigs on the "Wallace farm
just east of the Dougherty lot. The devel
opments thus far made would seem to indi
cate that the Gordon sand -belt crosses the
fifth at this point in a northwest and south
west direction. There were no wells of any
importance completed iu the field yester
day. There are a number which will be In
some time this week. Forst & Greenlee's
No. 1 on the Wade larm south of McDonald
fatatlon abont 1,500 leet, was reported last
evening to be showing for a irood well.
Georgetown Well Flowing.
The Georgetown well of Liawson, lleSalr
& Co. has caused a genuine sensation since it
started to flow. Reliable roports from it
yesterday were that it was making Just II
ban els an hour. It had been tubed and just
as they were ready to pump It commenced
to flow. Pdrties who have visited the well
and are familiar with its history claim that
is in the third or Gordon sand, which it gets
at about L150 leet. When this well was
drilled into tile sand several weeks ago the
reports from it at first were that
it was making anywhere from 20 to
50 barrels an hour. Many operators
rushed to tho place from Pittsburg and
other points, and found that the reports
were false. The well had sprayed some oil,
and there was a little oil and water in the
tanks, but it never flowed steady until with
in the last few days. It is not in strictly
wildcat territory, as there have been other
wells drilled all around it within a short
radius. Should it maintain Its present gait
for any length of time, there will doubtless
be many new ones started in that neighbor
hood. -
Hussler, Davis & Botts' No. 2 on the Boyce
farm in Southwest McCnrdy will bo finished
up -this week, and their No. 3, same farm, is
spudding. Patterson & Jones' No. 1 on the
Kel30 farm is in and reported light. Mellon
& Co.'s No. 5 Neeley is also reported as a
small well.
Two Bellevue Wells.
Bellevue Tho Kobella Oil Company wfll
shoot their No. 2, on the Straw farm, this
week. No. 1 Straw has been shot and U
making 16 barrels a day.
Drilling for Gas.
Freetckt Ammon & Co. are starting two
rigs on Murphy's Island, three miles np the
river from this place. They will drill lor
gas.

CHILE INCLINED TQ DO EIGHT.
Separation to Be Made It It Is Possible
Without Too Much Humiliation.
Santiago, Jan. 2. There seems to be a
disposition to come to terms with the United
States provided an amicable agreement can
be made which will not humiliate Chile. It
is stated that there is likelihood that the
note of the late Minister of Foreign Aflairs,
Senor Matta, which caused snch offense Ho
the Government at "Washington, 'will be
withdrawn. At all event3, it is probable
that such action will engage the attention of
the new Cabinet at an early date.
It is stated that President Jlonlt has
been advised to withdraw the JIatta note,
and a member of the new Cabinet said that
the Cabinet would take up the question 33
soon as the report of'the court on the Balti
more affair is made. No apprehension of a
rupture is felt, he said, despite the state of
public feeling on the subject. Acting pre
sumably under instructions from his Gov
ernment, Sir. Kennedy, the British Min
ister, has been advising President Jlontt's
Government to make reasonable terms with
the United States. Herr Gutschmidt, the
German Minister, has offered the services of
his Government as arbitrator. Minister
Egan yesterday received a polite note from
the new Minister of Foreign Affairs Per
iera, informing him of the desire of the
new Government to maintain friendly rela
tions with him, both personally and offi
cially, and also to preserve and maintain
the friendship existing between the coun
tries. . '
GOSSIP 0FTHE GUARD.
Mxioa J. C. Kat spent a portion of the past
week in New York City. "
Lieutehaht- Colokel J. B. Stbeethi, the
tall and hustling member of the Tenth Begl
inent, is in the city.
The annual meeting of the officers of the
Fourteenth Eegimentwill be held Monday
evening, January 11, at 8 o'clock. In tho Tegi-.
mental headquarters. Every officer is ex
pected to be present, as business or Impor
tance will be transacted.
Nzablt7C0 bronze and silver medals and
bars arrived in tho city yesterday for distri
bution among the marksmen and sharp
shooters or the three local organizations as
a reside of last season's work on the range.
The medals will be ready for distribution
during the coming week.
The officers of the Fourteenth Regiment
are highly elated over the JjcantUul meeting
place now provided for them, and can justly
claim having one of the finest headquarters
rooms in the State without any limitation.
The committee in chnnre of furnishing tho
qnarters was Captain Corbot, Captain Tim
and Quartermaster McCl.tin, and a vote of
thanks should be tendered the gentleman
for tho able mnnner in which they carried
out their instructions.
Accordiso tothe result of a court martial
in Ncjv York City a week ago, civilians can
be made to appear before the co'nrt but can
not be made to testify unless they so desire;
andnlthouzh they can be adjudged guilty of
contempt, thev cannot be p inishe'1, so the
Attorney General has decided. That the
law is an unjust one ispcneially admitted,
and It is possible that an attempt will be
made in Pennsylvania to provide for such
an event by having the law changed.
AnxotracKMEST is made from the Adjutant
General's office of -the coming inspection of
the guard by the Brigade Inspectors. The
Inspections will be hold in the months of
January, February and March, in the armo
ries of the various organizations. Special
attention this year will be giveii to the
armories, their condition and location, also
to the condition of the blankets, great coats,
blanket bags, canteens and haversacks. No
report as to rifle practice will be asked for.
CoMPAirr B. of tne Eighteenth Regiment,
at present has tho distinction of being com
manded by a Captain who holds a commis
sion in the regular service as Second Lieu
tenant. Mr. Wassell, who ha3 been In com
mand of Company B for the past 15 months,
was appointed to a commission in theregu-.
lar army some two months ago, has as yet
failed to handin his resignation to Col. Smith,
and as a result the affairs in the company
are gradually growing worse. Other matters
in connection with the company has de
veloped lately what tend to show that
section 31, of the military code, might bo
brought into play in Mr. Wassell's case with
good effect.
Ose of the most important events in local
military circles during the coming week will
be the sitting of the Court of Inquiry ap
pointed by General Snowden to inquire into,
tho case of Adjutant Reese, of the Eighteenth
Regiment. The court consists of Colonel
Brainard Case, with Captain E. D. Smitb, of
the Fourth Regiment, as Judge Advocate,
and will sit in the regimental armory on
Diamond street to-morrow afternoon at 2
o'clock. Colonels Krumbaar and Hnnsicker,
of the Governor's staff, will arrive in the
city to-night, being the interested parties in
the case aside from Lieutenant Kecse. The
result of this court of inquiry in tho present
case is being watched with interest all over
the State, as the gentlemen connected are
all well known and a precedent will be es
tablished as to the lino of conduct accepta
ble between officers of a certain grade here
after. CojfsrDEKACLE of a kick has generated
among the citizens in the vicinity of the
Fifth Avenue Market House against the pro
posed lease of the building to the Eighteenth
Kegiment and Battery B for a period or 10
years. The principal objection raised by
tho kickers is that the building is in alto
gether too prominent a location for armory
purposes, and that Herr's Island or some
sequestered nook in Butler county would
be about tho right place to locate the
guard. If the people of Pittsburg propose
to continue In their idiotic sentiment in re
gard to the National Guard, a most elegant
move on the part of the .Adjntant.General's
office would he to disband the 'organiza
tions in this vicinity altogether, and proba
bly at some time in the future their absence
might be felt in a forcible and impressive
mannor. There is scarcely a city in the
country from Maine to California where a
National Guard organization is located that
has not provided costly and magnificent
armories, and on the most prominent thor
oughfares. As to the opening of the Fifth
avenue building for market purposes, the
enterprise proved a dismal failure before,
even with one line of horse cars, and what
would it do now with two line, of rapid
transit to the downtown market? The incen
tive for the proper class of young men to
enter the guard in this vicinity is growing
beautifully weaker each year, and a few
more kicks at the local organizations will
squelch it completely.

An Odd Freak of Charity.
New York Times.
The latest benevolent scheme is the Baby
Brigade, started by some young women in
London to make easier church going among
poor mothers by caring for the infants dur
ing services. The brigade proposes to go to
the babies, and it is suspected that the young
nurses will find that their self-imposed
duties will lead them into some queer
places. The charity hardly seems to have a
practical ring.
