Jennin & Ca'sSo.3,on the Matthews farm, dropped to less than 20 barrels an hour and was dropped from the list of wells given in the guages. The Oak dale Oil Company's Xos. 2 and 3, on the Baldwin farm, went from 45 to 25 barrels an hour, a drop of almost one-half. The wells which were reported as in the sand yesterday were, with one exception, showing light. The exception was J. M. Guffey & Ca's Ka 1, onthe Mankedlck farm at "Willow Grove. It was in the Gordon sand yester day afternoon and had the appearance of eventually proving a good producer. HusslerJ Davis & Bott cot a surprise in the southwest McCurdy field. Their Xo. 2, or. the Bovce farm, was drilled through the filth canH'nnd was drv in that formation This well is. however, a phenomenon in the fourth sand as it is making over 100 barrels a dav from that formation, and is the only we'll in the field which is producing from the fourth sand. , Their Xo. 3, on this farm.

B. Moorhcad farm, was on top of the Gordon sand last nurlit. There was a rumor in circulation lastnlgbt that the Wheeling Gks Company's well on the W. J. Kelso larm, which had been making ten barrels an hour, had been drilled deeper and was making 30 barrels an hour. The report could not be confirmed, however, and it was generally discredited. The Forest Oil Company's Xo. 2, on the Agnes Kemp larm, is almost through the fifth sand and will not be better than a 10 or 12 barrel well. Their Xo. 1. on the Jane Stewart farm, is in the Gordon sand and showing a little oil. Their Xos. 3 and 4, on the Jane McGlll larm, should bo in the fifth sand this week.

Not So Large as First Keportrd. Bend 4 Bobbins' well on the Bobbins property, west of Willow Grove, whloh was erroneously reported Monday night to be making f romeight to ten barrelB an hour from the Gordon, was not making anything yes terday, and was almost -through the sand. What gave rise to the report na that it made a few nice flows irom the top of the Gordon Monday. As they drilled deeper into the sand they developed au interior quality or sand, which continued as they went deeper. This well is not over 250 leet from Guckert, Learn 4 Co.'s big Gordon sander on the Cunningham lot, and onlv a short distance from Guffey A tY's Xo. 3, Mary Sturgeon, which is good for 300 barrels a day from the Gordon.

CHIC AGO Wheat opened weak and lower to-day, touching the lowest price yet re corded for the present crop 87K- against 8So reached yesterday, which equaled the lowest figure recorded 'since last summer. The news and the sltnation both favored the bears. Cables were lower, domestic markets were declining, the weather was all that could be desired and crop prospects every where were full of encouragement. The liquidation of long wheat continued, with short sellers active, and the confidence of hulls seemed to be thoroughly shaken. A surprising item of news was the reported in crease of 1,164.000 bushels in the amount of wheat and flour on ocean passage. The bulls gota little comfort out of the fact that the English visible supply had been re duced nearly l,000,000bushels during the week, and that large export engagements continue to be reported from Xew Tork. For several days now these engagements have been re ported at 400,000 to 600,000 bushels per day, but only a small per cent shows up in the actual clearings. The buying was at times quite sharp, but was mostly to cover former short sales, which yielded a profit, as there was not sufficient confidence to cause much investment demand. On every rally, how ever, there was rrce short selling. Tbe price of Mav at and around the opening was 87X 7c, against SSJc at the close yesterday, selling sparingly at the lowest figures; milled toSSJe; broke to S7c again: beldsteadv during most or the last hour around 87J 87;c, but on heavy buying near the close by shorts who had good profits in sight, ad vanced to 88c and closed firm at SSJc. Corn was quiet .and lower on the fine weather, larger receipts than were expect ed, the increase in the contract grade and sympathy with the weakness in wheat and S revisions. Trade was slow, tbe offerings eing liberal, but with very little demand. Mav opened unchanged at 42Uc, weakened to iVic but rallied some and closed steady at 42c March lost c on free local selling. Oats were quiet and steady, closing with a loss or c Pork suffered quite a slump in prices. Live hogs were lower at the yards and there was free selling of products, with hardly any de mand. Pork opened TJo lower at $11 20 for May. The price went as low as $11 02K but rallied some near the close and finished at f 11 10. Lard and rttw sympathized in some degree with pork. The former is off 7o and the latter 2c The leading futures ranged as follows. S3 correct ed by Jonn M. Oaklev A Co.. 45 Sixth street, mem bers of the Chicago Board of Trade: Open ing. : High est.

Good Sales of East End Building Lots in tbe Last Few Days. ALL THE PURCHASERS. WILL BUILD Comparison of Land Values in Boston With Those Realized Here. SITE SECURED FOR A BANE BUILDING It was learned yesterday from an inside source that the Liberty National Bank has purchased for $60,000 the lot on the corner of Ellsworth and Penn avenues. It is 60x 100, and there are three two-storr buildings on it, occupied as stores and dwellings. These will be torn down the coming spring to make room for an elegant bank build ing. The bank, prosperous from the start, has been looking for a site tor a permanent home for some time) and now that this ob ject has been accomplished, it will no doubt erect a structure that will not only be a credit to itself but elevate the .architectural standard in that quarter of the city. -This is the most important deal that has been con summated in East Liberty since that of the Harrison property. . - Activity In the Lot Market. There has been quite an active movement in East End realty within the past week or two, particularly in Boulevard place, where Black & Baird have sold 11 building sites within the time specified to persons who will build high-class residences the coming spring and summer. Among the purchasers are J.. a "Wallace, Mrs. Mary Gloninger, F. H.. Speer, Van Gorder & Lloyd, E. M. Jloore and J. 6. Stephenson and associates, known as the Boulevard Place Syndicate. The most unique of the buildings will be that of Mr. "Wallace who will bring out new. effects by the use of red sandstone Mr. Moore will build two houses. The aggre gate of these sales is 535,000. Boulevard place was put on the market in 1887. Building improvements since that time reach a total value of $230,000, while street and other improvements foot up 5150,000 more. The readiest way to sell a subdivi sion is to improve it Land Values in Boston. A recent sale of central property in Bos ton is of interest as constituting grounds for comparison of real estate values there and here. The estate on the corner of "Washing ton and Bromfield streets, Nos. 371 and 373 "Washington and 2 Bromfield street, was sold by the heirs of Elizabeth M. M. "White The price is understood to have been verv close to 5190,000. The property is well known not only from its central location, bnt from having been occupied for many years by the Saturday Evening Gazette. The building is an old 3J-story structure of brick, with a granite front. The land measures 1,721 square feet, and has a front age of 30 feet on Washington street aud a depth of about 60 on Bromfield The price received, 5190,000. brings the square foot value up to 5100. This is al most double the best price ever secured for central property in Pittsburg. The Tradcmen's National Bank comes the near est to it It brought a little over 560 a square foot There is very little difference in the size of the two lots." The Schmertz and Newell properties on Fifth avenue ought not to be considered in this connec tion on account of the great depth of the lots. Black & Baird report an offer of 575 a square foot for a lot 60 feet deep on the lower side of Fifth avenue, but this figure can have no weight until the cash is planked down. The Boston incident goes to sustain the claim that realty is cheaper in Pittsburg than in any other im portant city in the country. 'Take Tour Choice. The following from a New Tork source gives both sides of the speculative situa tion and outlook: The bears say March is not a month of adversity to them and point to large "Western cities as boycotting Iowa roads, to a prospective poor winter wheat crop, to the lowest and dullest iron market, and further claim the coal stocks are at too high a level and too scarce to sell short, and predict further troubles in the gas and sugar circles. The bulls claim railway earnings were never larger, general business never better, exports over imports never were exceeded, that the Kansas prospect for a crop was never better, money is easy and there is more of it than ever before per capita, that the Bank of England also shows a large reserve over last year, that the stocks are well held and are not pressing on the market and that much higher prices may be looked for in the near future. In the meantime the street is in an excited frame of mind and is ready to believe any 'tales of combinations or breaks in combina tions, in deals and melons that are to be cut and in miraculous and phenomenal things generally. The public are indifferent and they look on with amusement or indiffer ence at the stories employed to entertain them. Pittsburg National Banks.

Heaviest Day's Trading ot the Tear and Some Tall Figures Put on -the Board Wheeling Gas and Birmingham Trac tion Improve Their Position. The bulls were in clover yesterday. Some of the specialties reached a surprising alti tude The probability that Mr. Westing house will again assume control of the Switch and Signal Company strengthened all of his interests. Total sales were about 3,500 shares. The opening was strong on a good display of buying orders. Philadelphia Gas started out at 18, was bid up to 18 at the second call, and at the last sold at 19. Wheeling Gas, following the lead of Philadelphia and in sympathy with it advanced from 18J at the opening to 22 at the finish, with sales at 22. Tbe advance was partly based on a report that its Kelso well was one of the most important yet struck. The stock was offered quite sparingly. Birmingham Traction also moved up sev eral notches. It sold early at 26 from which point it steadily advanced to 27. Tbe rise was rapid and uninterrupted up to this point At the afternoon session it weakened on heavy soiling and receded, to 27. Pleasant Vallev added a fraction to its credit Manchester was fractionally weaker. Duquesno was a little Armor. Sales at first call were 50 Citizens' Traction at 63. 25 Wheeling Gas at 18. 100 Birming ham Traction at 26 425 at 27. Before call. 100 Birmingham at 26.

Some pre dicted that both Philadelphia and Wheeling would weaken to-day, unless unexpectedly sustained by buying orders. The following, signed "A Broker," was received late in the afternoon: "A bet was made by a leading broker to-day that Central Traction will sell at 40 before May 5,1892."

IB- New Encland Still One of the Leading Stocks Heavy Pressure on St. Paul Chicaco Gas One of the Weak Points ' Few Bond Features. New York, March 8. Tbe stock market, while showing after the first hour a material decrease in the amount of business done from that of the last lew days, lost none of its unsettled character, and prices drooped all along the line, though in the general list only small fluctuations were noted. The change in the New England directory could scarcely be called a factor in the day's oper ations, although New England still held Its place as one of the few leading stocks. There was further pressure from hear sources upon Beading, but there were evi dences of heavy covering, and lato in the day it became firmer and was maintained within a small fraction of its last night's prices. The talk or the day was almost all upon St. Paul, and. conpled with, heavy sales of the stock, apparently for foreign account, were numerous rumors that there would be no dividend at the meeting of tbe directors soon to beheld. This afternoon also saw special pressure on the stock, evidently sales for the short account, and a loss of 2 per cent from its last night's prices was shown at one time. Tho rumors received, of course, no official confirmation or denial. There was no support to the Vanderbilts, which re tired from any prominence in the market: but the Grangers were all lower in sympathy with St. Paul. One of the weakest Soints in tbe market, especially in early ealintrs, was Chicaco Gas, which, selling; ex-dividend and ex-risbts, retired Irom 75Jg to 74, while the other Industrials were dull. The general list opened quiet and at ir regular changes from last night's figures. Tho final raid established the lowest prices of the day, and while there was a feeble rally in the late trading . from the covering or shorts, no stock .succeeded in rallying more than insignificant fractions, and tbe close was unsettled -at close to the lowest prices for the active shares, but within small fractions or the opening figures for ' most or tbe list. Tbe final changes show losses almost invariably, however, and Xew England is down 3 per cent, St. Paul, iA Lackawanna, 1; Wheeling and Lake Erie, IK, and Beading 1 per cent." The totul sales of stocks to-dav were 378,765 shares, including Atchison, 13,700; Eiio, 15.900: Lake Shore. 5.635: Louisville and Nash ville, 8.072: Northwestern, 1,750; -New Jersey Central, 3,800; Northern Pacific preferred, 5.901; New England, 5,384; Heading, 1C4.600; Richmond and West Point, 5,200; St. Paul, 59,525; Western Union. 6,800. The dealings in railroad bonds extended to a laige number of shares, but beyond the transactions in tho Uichmond and West Point issues there was no features or inter est in the market, and tbe total transactions were within tbe amount usual or late. The temper or the dealings was much the same as that or stocks, and an irregular move ment within narrow limits prevailed throughout the session. The Richmond and West Point 5s were most active, and while displaying an advancing tendency at first, later yielded from 64 to 62. at which point they showed a loss of IVi per cent.

New Tork Bank Statement an Encourage ment to Business Men. No new phase or the local money market was developed yesterday. The excessive supply of loanaDle funds, a bank officer re marked, Is not wholly due to a falling off In the demand. Deposits have increased to a greater extent than demand has fallon off, showing a large proportion of current busi ness is done on a cash basis. Exchanges, $1,885,636 74: balances, 416,292 66. The condition of tbe Pittsburg national banks, ns compared with the statements of September 2. 1891, is shown in the following table, compiled by R. J. Stoney, Jr.: Reserve, Increase $2,835,963 Loaim, decrease 798,783 Specie. Increase 292,8:5 Deposits. Increase 3,806.706 Lejral tenders, decrease 411,797 Circulation, decrease 7,030 Dne from reserve agents, in crease 2,954,930 The statement of tbe New York banks last week were encouraging to business men. The depletion of the reserve to the extent or nearly $6,000,000 was a welcome sign that money is entering tho regular channels or trade. But it ought to' call a bait to gold shipments, and probably will, as tbe changes in the main Items point to higher rates for monev on this side of the water. At New York yesterday money on call was easy at 12 per cent; last loan 2, closed offered at 2. Prime mercantile paver at 4 5K per cent.
