siderable sales 'iavo been made in Philadel

does not seem to be general with tne pro
ducers of that district. When it is a question
of reaching into Eastern competitive tcrri

prices. We learn that $24 has been shaded
as a quotation on orders emanating outside

as a matter of fact, it was I,t$5,307 gros tons
in that vear. The same statistician places
the production of 1S91 at 1,090,000 tons, in
Isnoranrt- of the fact that the shipments,
as lcportcd by the association, cover only
rails "of standard section. Up to July 1 of
Int year the shipments weie 454,423 tons.
SwaiiU, of the first halfyear, reported a rail
product of S17,7fs gross tons. Tliis is a mat

GOOD LUCK AT BLAIR.
The T. Campbell Company's' Gas
Striko Opens New Territory.
OUTSIDE BUSINESS SHUT OUT.
Ko Material Chan-re in Rents for Dwell
ings ixpected This Year.
FEATURES OF JIOXET AXD SPECULATION
The gas well struck on Wednesday at
Blair station by the T. Campbell Glass Com
pany is a regular roarer. It can be heard
for half a mile. Gas was struck at a depth
of 1,200 feet, and is regarded as the lively
vaporings of a large pool further down in
the regular gas .stratum. Thewell will con
sequently be drilled deeper. Ihis is the
only gas well in that vicinity, and derives
special importance from the fact that it
promises to open up an extensive gas field
to supply fuel for the industries located
thereabouts by the Blair Land Company.
A number of capitalists are awaiting the
outcome of this strike with great interest..
Business Heavily Handicapped.
The publication in this column yesterday
of a report, apparently reliable, that certain
Eastern business men, unable to secure
suitable quarters in this city would lease
ground on long time and build to suit them
selves, caused considerable talk among
owners and agents of down-town proper.y.
One of the latter said:
"This is an important matter. Owners
talk about and rejoice over Pittsburgh
material growth, but do nothing to help it
along. The business area is large enough,,
if it could be fully utilized. Bnt there
are so,, many worthless buildings
occupying commanding sites and locations,
fit for scarcely anything, that there is a pos
itive famine in this line. These places are
occupied for the most part by small traders,
doing a business of a few thousands a year.
If tbey were replaced' by modern stores
large interests would take the place of small
ones, which would do as well on side streets,
and the volume of trade be greatly in
creased. The pressure ior business space is
greater at this time than ever before. Al
most every real estate agent has applica
tions from outsiders for stores and ware
houses Inability to meet this demand is a
serious obstacle to the welfare of the city.
No other city with which I am acquainted
is thus handicapped."
The fact that outside capital and enter
prise are seeking entrance denotes faith in
the stability of Pittsburg's activities, and
should be an incentive to owners to make
reasonable exertion to accommodate all who
desire'to come in and contribute by their
means and skill to the general prosperity.
Comfort for Tenants.
Several of the leading real estate brokers
spoken to yesterday advanced the belief
that rents "for small and medium-sized
dwellings will not be increased much, if
anv, this year. The supply of such houses
is limitedbut as they are occupied by a
class whose ability to pay more is ques
tionable, it is thought that owners will be
content with nresent rates.
Some particular districts may be affected,
but from all that car. be learned tenants
may rest assured that there will be no gen
eral advance.
Business Xews and Gossip.
It was leported yesterday that an offer of
$3,500 a foot had been made for a property on
Fourth avenue, presumably between Wood
and Smithfleld streets. Xothing more could
be learned.
When outsiders have to erect their own
business stands it is high time owners
be up and doing.
It is thought the Gusty subdivision on
Perry9ville avenue willbe sold out and lmilt
up this year. There is no finer residence lo
cation on the avenue.
-The railroads are earning big money and
putting a large portion, pf It into construc
tion work and improvements. Shareholders
have solid grounds for expecting large re
turns this year.
Property on Bailey nvenue,Thirtlerh ward,
Mt. Washington, is "held at about $70 a foot
front. The avenue is nnpaved. This is
nearly on a level with-Oakland prices.
The" Xational Cordage Company wilt to-dav
declare its usual auarterly dividends of 2
percent on the preferred stock ana 2JJ on
the common.
The statement of the earnings of Xew
Y'ork Central is almost a new revelation of
the cipacity of railroads to earn monev,
namely, $40,000,000 for the year, against $33,
000 000 two year ago.
Ixmis Walzer has sold a business property
on Main street, Sharpsburg, lot 20x90, to

FUHDS IH ABUNDANCE.
Indications of an "Eisy Market for a Lone
Time.
Esse and abundance were the features of
the local money market yesterday, and this
was a true reflection of the situation at all
outside points.
The supply of loanable funds at Xew Yoik
is excessive. Interest rates at Chicago have
been dropped from G to 5 per cent. Every
Indication points to an easy market for some
time to come.
There was a moderate call for loans and
disconnts. and counter business wits fairly
active. The usual 6 per cent rate was main
tained as a rule, but some shading was re
ported by individual capitalists. Bank clcar

More or the Bijj Traction Company Stoclc
Wanted limn Offered Philadelphia
Bowu and Luster Up New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal a Feature.
There was comparatively heavy trading
on 'Change yesterday. Each of the three
calls contributed. Sales aggregated 1,290
shares and $2,000 bonds. Of these, Duqnesne
Traction furnished 1,000. The stock showed
no weakness under this pressure, and the
demand was unstftisfled. It is now evident
that the deal with the Pittsburg Traction is
bearing good fruit. Investors seem to ie
gard the road as on a paying basis. It is
surmised that the buying is by a syndicato
formed to bring the stock more prominently
before the investing public on the theory
that the higher it is the more interest will
be taken in it.
One of the strongest features of the mar
ket was Xew Y'ork and Cleveland Gas Coal,
which advanced to 45 bid, with none in
sight. A leading broker said or this stock:
"I think it will go still higher in sympathy
w ith the general improvement in the coal
trade. I doubt if it can be bought under
59. I have been chasing it from around 34,
and am still a buyer. Reports show that the
company is making money."
Luster moved up and Philadelphia Gas
down. Tills reversal of position caused
some comment. Perhaps the cold snap had
something- to do with the weakness of the
latter. Central Traction finished the day
with a slight gain. Pleasant Valley declined
a fraction. At the last call Birmingham was
offered at 1S. AVith few exceptions final
prices were the best of the dav.
Sales nt first call were 100 shares or
Monongahela Water Company at 27K- 400
Duqnesne at 18, 25 Pleasant Valley at 22 and
50 Luster at 8J. Second call, 10 Luster at 8,
20 at P, and 100 Duqnesne at 18 Third

A BIG SLUMP IN STOCKS.
WALL STKEET IS TREATED TO A DE
CIDED SHAKING UP.
The Bear Bald Made in the Wnn'ng Hour
oftha Day Sellers, Who Are Anxious to
Bccomo Buyers, Combine and Break the
Market,
Xzw Y'okic, Jan. 7. The stock market to
day was by all odds the most active we have
had since the revival of business last fall,
but while displaying a strong temper during
the most of the day, yiolded throughout the
list in the last hour, and all the early gains
were lost with something in addition. The
raid was made during the last hour of busi
ness by a combination w bo have been sellci s
of stocks and who have been endeavoring to
become buyers at lower prices. The move
ment, started by a sudden drop in Chicago
Gas, was believed in some qnai ters to have
been the result ot a settlement with the
shorts in that stock, and with this settle
ment all necessity of keeping its price up
was done away with, consequently mnny
heavy stop orders in it were uncovered at "l
per cent down, and the suddenness of the
decline has seldom been equaled.
The drop was followed by a determined
attack upon the whole list, to which the
bulls did not appear to make any strong re
sistance, the more prominent among them
expressing tho opinion that thisieaction
would bring in a fresh lot of buyers. Tim.
leading feature of tho morning was the
strength in the Industrials, including Chi
cago Ga-, which 1 ose from 78 to SO. The
only real weak point in tho list 'was Louis
ville and Xashville, which responded to sell
ing by the foreign clement and retired over
1 per cent In the face of the strength of the
rest of the market. The break which car
ried all the rest down had little influence on
it, nnd it yielded only slightly when other
stocks were running off nppaiently. The
close was very active but weak, generally at
the lowest prices of the day. The only gain
is Xew England, 2 per cent.
The total sales ot stocks to-day were 673 575
shares, including: Atchison. 40,095: Canada
Southern, 3 050: Chicago Gas. 70.210: Delaware,
Lackawanna and Westorn. 3,500: Erie. 19,353;
Kansas and Texas. 4,335; Louisville and
Xashville, 21,873: Missouri Pacific, 9,280;

Richmond and West Point, 34,047: St. Paul,
31,525: St, Paul and Omattn, 4 045; Union
Pacific, 17.660.
Railroad bonds wore also more active than
at any previous time, and the total sales
reached 5.240,000, but,unlike stocks, there wns
no severe slump in final dealings, although
somo oT the more active of thespeculative
issues, like the Richmond and West Point
bonds and some others, yielded slightly.
The Kansas and Texas bonds were the
special strong featmes, but all the more
prominent issnes were advanced more or
less, and tho Readings and the Richmond
and West Points were very active.

stocks on the New York Mock tixchango yester
day. Corrected dailv for TIIE DISPATCH by

THlS WATER SUPPLY DIMINISHED BY
THE COLD EiTUEK.
One Big Well Brought in Y'esterday and
Another Stopprd FJowing That Sixth
Sand Sensation Th? Woods' Venture
Showing Oil In the Fiflb Sand.
A genuine blizzard swept over the Mc
Donald oil field all day yesterday. Across
the high and unprotected hilltops and down
the valley from McDonald to Oakdale the
wind blew a steady gale. The buoyant snow
flakes were battered and tossed and chased
along pat allot with the ground, except
in places where they encountered ob
stneles, when gi eat drifts weie formed. The
intense cold froze the water pipes and
biooks, forcing many contractors to shut
down on account of a shortage in the water
supply. Portheaame reason many pump
ing wells were stopped, and the larger wells,
which have been agitated almost dally, were
not disturbed. Inconsequence of this con
dition of affairs tho pioduction dropped
'from 34.500 to 33.000 barrels, which is lower
than it has been for several months.
One big well wns developed yesterday
which came in with some of the energy
characteristic of tho old timers. It is the
Oakdale Oil Company's No. 1 Hutchinson,
and last evening was making 40 barrels an
hour. This well is located about 2,000 feet
northwest of tho original Mtuthews farm
well. Gutfey, Jennings & Co.'s No. 1 Herron
suddenly stopped flowing whllo producing
12 barrels an hour. There was a report Inst
evening to the effect that their Matthews
Xo. 1 had also stopped, but this could not oe
omflrnied. The Xo. 4 Matthews, of Guffey,
Jennings & Co., was due to get the fifth sand
last night.
Still Drilling in the Sixth.
Tho reported sixth sand well was about tho
only subject of conversation with men in
tne oil business yesterday. Late Wednesday
night the report was brought in that Ilite &
Hothian's Coviack lot w ell wns making any
where from 10 to 00 ban els an hour from the
sixth sand. It is located just north
of the railroad at Laurel Hill and
was visited jesterday morning by The
Dispatch scout The drillers c'aim that
nt a depth of 200 feet below tho fifth sand
they struck a hard black sand, which, as it
was penetrated, became whiter and more
porous. At 'i o ciccic j esteruay tnev ciainieo.
to be in it nine or ten feet, lmt had failed to
And oil or gas. This well was good for 20
barrels a dav in the Gordon, but this pro
duction wits killed by strong gas in the
fourth sand. In the flth" sand it was dry.
The Wheeling Gas Company's well on the
Woods farm, sontlL of Laurel Hill, was on
top or the fifth sand and had a showing of
oil. Greenlee X Forst'a well on the Glad
den fnim, hasnot improved its Goidon sand
pioduction of 25 or 30 banelsaday in tlio
tilth sand. Guckcrt, Learn and the Jen
nings Bros.' well on tho Reed farm, south
east of Venice, tapped the Gordon Yester
day, nnd has been shim down until connec
tions can be made. Shav & Co. '3 well, on
the Dougherty lot, east "of Laurel Hill, is
through the Gordon and good for only a
few barrels a day from that formation.
Crowley Bros.' well at Willow Grove was
on top oftho filth sand Inst night. The De
vonian Oil Company's No. 3 on tho Morgan
Elliott farm was in tho Gordon yesterdav,
wit a'very light showing of oil, and their
No. 4 same farm should be in the Gordon
to-day. No. 5 is down 1,050 feet. The same
company has a rig np oil the W. B. Moor
hcad farm.

Villi wintry weather, though longed for
these weeks past, now that it is here, fails
so far to stimulate trade. The movement is
slow, and prices are in mostlinespractically
unchanged. Creamery butter of fancy
grades is a shade higher, but all below
fancy is a drug. Country roll butter has
only a nominal value. Quality of that of
fered is generally low and passes only ior
cooking butter. Cheese is" moving more
freely than for some time past, and markets
are firm. Eggs are quiet, supply being in
excess of demand. Poultry supply is scarce
