STOCKS FINISH WITH A HURRAH. Important Transactions in City and Subur ban Beal Estate. FINE HOUSES- NEABING COMPLETION The week was productive of a slight im provement in general trade. Jron, almost alone of all the great material interests, showed a hesitating disposition. Although the weather was about Jheworst possible, the spring movement made considerable 'progress, as shown by a better mercantile demand for money at nearly all of the financial centers. The fear of denuding tht country oi gold lost its potency as an obstructive factor. This was a distinct gain. Building was fair for the season, and real estate active, an unusual number of im portant sales being put on record. Stocks were active and higher. Although the song of the turtle was not heard in the land, there were abundant signs that the turning point of the year was at hand. A period of good weather will expand business as 'a will vegetation. Sale of Residential Property. One of the largest transactions in realty during the week was closed -yesterday by M. F. Hippie & Co. They sold, the SI a ta per homestead property on "Wineluddle avenue, near Penn, consisting of a ten-room frame house and nearly three acres of ground, to Kobert Spronll for $43,000. It is under stood he will sell off a tier or two of lots in the rear and improve and occupy the re mainder. Another Penn Avenue Sale. There -is a disposition in some quarters to keep large transactions in reality from the public. This policy is clearly detrimental to business, which needs all the stimulus it can get. An attempt was made to cover up a sale yesterday, but not by the agent. It was learned that a piece of Penn avenue property, below Fifth street, had changed hands at a price said to be about ?70, 000. Mr. C H. Iiove, whose name was associated with the deal, said he was not prepared to talc on the -subject, but made no denial. From another source it was ascertained that the sale had been consummated, but the in formant would make no further revelation. The reputed purchaser has Vithin a few months invested fully $300,000 in realtv on the avenue in question. A Northside Transaction. Among several transactions in Allegheny realty during the week was" oue by Baxter, Thompson & Co., which was closed yester day. They sold through the agency of Sam uel "W. Black & Co. a residence property situated on the northeast corner of North avenue and Webster street, fronting the park, consisting of a two-story brick house of 12 -rooms and lot 20x110 feet, to a" prom inent "Water street business man for $15,000. This is the lecond sale in that locality within ten days, the other being tho Mrs. Crow property, which was purchased by Mr. Guckert. Liberty Bank Deal. The purchase of the' Flinnteer property, corner of Penft and Ellsworth avenues, by the Liberty National Bank for $60,000 was a surprise to owners of some of the adjacent properties, notably McCombs and Goeddel!, who, it is anderstood, had made offers which they, had reason to believe would be ac cepted. Besides, the Flfnniker property was not known to be in the market. But as it cost less money than the others were held at, and the location being about as desir able, it was taken in preference. By the terms of the purchase verv little cash was nsed. According to good authority the bank gave a mortgage for the bulk of the purchase money, to run until theyoungest heir, now 13, comes of age. The bank will not begin building before a yer from April, as leases do not expire until that time. Fine East End Buildings. Finishing touches are being put to many elegant buildings in thc-Esst End. "W. M, McKelvy, Vice President of' the Standard Oil Company, is completing a fine stone house on Fifth and College avenues. Mrs. Gnsky's palatial mansion, on Fifth, near Iw streef, will soon be ready, for occu- pancr. It will be the most costly private building in Allegheny county. A hand some residence is also under way at the cor ner of Fifth and Ivv. These and other buildings of equally high class will improve tne appearance ana increase tne attractions of the EastjEnd district of the city, al though this seems akin to the attempt to paint the lily. Elevated the Price. It has been announced that the sale of the Armstrong property, nine acres, to a New York capitalist, was declared off on account of the refusal of one of the heirs to accept the price offered, $32,000. J. H. Coleman & Co., the agents, said yesterday that the property is now held at $38,000, and, notwithstanding the big jump, the prospect oi selling it to a Pittsburg man is very flatttering. Good property of this size, in desirable neighborhoods, is becom ing scarce, and those in quest of it tor rural homes are generally quick to snap it up. Business News and Gossip. .Stock trading was up to high watermark last week, and final prices were in most cases the highest. Superintendent Allerton says he will be gray-headed before the stockyards are re moved. The old story will not down. Any one looking for a bargain in a farm should consult the advertisement of Charles Depew. The street was quite bullish on stock yesterday afternoon, indicating still higher prices this week. Andrew Caster sold, after call, 45 shares of Airbrake at 110; and Henry M. Long $8,000 Pleasant Valley lateral road .5's at about par. The London market for American securi ties yesterday, was weak. Tho strongest features were Reading and Wabash. The new Allegheny Valley Railroad pre ferred stock is quoted outside the Exchange at 2530 per cent of par. Thirty-two permits were issued last week for 43 improvements, the estimated cost of all being $42,355. Fonr fine business structures will soon be started on Penn avenue.

The week turned out to be a good one in speculative circles. The opening on Mon day was strong, but later on a reactionary disposition was displayed, which carried some of the specialties down, and gave rise to apprehensions of a general abandonment of advanced positions. But this prospect was not realized. The tables were turned yesterday and in a man ner that was quite significant. Nearly everything traded in was conspicuously j strong, and gains were not only numerous but in most instances important. Pipeage, on the knowledge that a dividend will be announced in April, together with the strong financial position of the company, lea the upward movement followed by Philadel- hia and Cbartiers Gas, Citizens' Traction, a Noria and some others. Wheeling Gas rose to 93 during the week, bnt lost part or the advance, finishing, however, $2 better than a week ago. Birmingham Traction put about the same amount to its credit. Closing prices or the active interests as compared with those or the previous Satur day show these changes: Pipeage advanced li, Philadelphia Gas ll, Cbartiers Gas Yv Wheeling Gas 2, Central l'ractionJ, Citizens' Traction 2. Pittsburg Traction - Binning, ham Traction -2, Pleasant Valley . Luster Electric 1, Airbrako 2. Some of these stocks were unable to hold the full advance, but 'the fact that -all finished better than a week ago, and on a rising market, is sufficient to show that they have substantial backing, which is based on dividends in some cases and better prospects generally. Sales yesterdav were 630 shares and two memberships at $5X1 each 50 La Noria nt 3L 245 Philadelphia Gas at 19, 110 at 19, 175 Pipeage at 12, 50 at .11.

A FEW PROMINENT FEATCKES STOCKS AND BONDS. IN The Mrjorlty of Transactions Are in Read In;. Which Suffers From Reports of Coming Prosecutions in Pennsylvania 1 lie New Syndicate lloomins B. & O. New York, March 12. The stock market to-day suffered irom liquidations on the ad vances of the week, and the list presented a dull, hut slowly drooping appearance, leav ing most stocks at small fractions lower than last evening. There were a few special features which save life to the dealings, conspicuous among which were the Rich mond and West Point stocks, the Coalers, tne industrials ana .Baltimore ana unto. The transactions in Reading were again more than the half or the total dealings in listed shares, and rumors' or action against the comhinanon by the State authorities or Pennsylvania was the occasion of heavy liquidation of long acconnts in the stock. All the other stocks interested in tho deal, how ever, were dull, thongh sympathizing in the downward movement in Reading, and all scored even larger losses than the leader. The rumors and expectations or a favor able outcome to the reorganization pro ceedings m Richmond and West Point made those stocks the strong features or the ac tive list, and the preierred made a verv sharp improvment,whiIe the common, which was very largely traded in, was held at close to its first price. The new rumors in regard to the control or the Franklin refinery by the Susar Trust was tne. occasion ot a lurtner material im provement in the prices or the latter stocks, bnt the preferred tailed to hold its gain, and late In the session the decline in the com mon from the best figure became important. The Boqm in the B. fc O. Among the inactive stocks the Baltimore and Ohio stock was specially strong on buy ing or manipulation, supposed to he for the account of tne syndicate which has lately taken a block of the stock. The opening was made at irregular changes from last evening's figures, but the Rich mond and West Point stocks and the Sugar 'were all more than I per cent higher than last night. These stocks made further material gains in the early dealings, but the weakness of the Coalers was imitated by the rest of the list, and a slow but steady drooping tendency was seen throughout the rest of the session, in which the Sugar stocks' joined towavd the close, except in tne cases mentioneu, How ever, the whole list was kept within the nar rowest limits, and the changes in quotations were, as a rule, insignificant. The market closed active and heavy, gen erally at about the lowest figures. The final changes of note include only two notable advances Richmond and West Point pre ferred, 6Jper cent, and Sugar, 1; while Lackawanna lost 2: Jersey Central, 1: Delaware and Hudson, and .Reading and uoruage, eacn 1 per ceqt. The total sales of stocks to-day were 257,333 shares, including Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 2,802: Delaware and Hudson, 3,133; Erie, 3,250; New England, 3,957; Head ing. 121,232: Richmond and West Point, 35,825: St. Panl, 6,800. Railroad bonds were like the share list, generally quiet" within narrow limits, but the activity in a few issues brought the total business np to a respectable amount. The Richmond and West Point 5s led, with $350, 000, Reading thirds following with $293,000, and the seconds with (108,000 out of a total of $1,470,000.. The changes, as a rule, were in significant, but considerable irregularity existed, and while Canada Southern firsts rose 1Vt to 110, Indiana, Decatnr and Spring field rose 2 to 1L . Richmond the Feature. Watson & Gibson wired the following to John M. Oakley A Co.: "This seemed to be Richmond day, and the securities- of this concern rose as it they were going to be finally benefited by the proposed reorganiza tion. There has been so much disappoint ment in this matter and so many losses have been made recently in 'fooling' with these stocks and bonds that traders are pretty thoroughly disgusted. The reports that came out a month ago of the formation of a strong underwriting syndicate were not true, or ir true, were changed as they would not have been had the agreement been care fully made. When the Georgia Central was thrown in the hands of a receiver the stocks and bonds of Richmond went kiting down, as indeed they had done one day previously when none was out. The publio have had large amonnts of Richmond, bought all the way down from the twenties, and the record of every commission broker office is that the stock has been a losing one. The managers of the Richmond reorganization are men of exceptional ability and they maybeielied upon to force through as able and ingenious a plan as conditions will permit. Sugar was again active at advancing prices an dbull talk on it abounds. Of course it is very mercurial, and it is snbject to wide and sadden variations. The Baltimore and Ohio stock caihe to the front to-day and was active and up to above 101. The Granger stocks were not so firm and the speculation outside of a few specialties was very limited. ! The bank statement was unfavorable showing a loss of reserves of over 6,000,000 ; W111C11-1 which wns more tnan exnected. Snecie de- t creased 4.000,000 and legal tenders decreased nearly 1,500,000. The loan again mcreasea showing conclusively that bank funds are still being diverttd into securities. The week closed wit&S'considerable short inter est in the market and with the bulls still hopeful or immediate results. We regard Western Union and St. Paul about the best among the safe stocks."

Everything an 'Change Weak and Lower Yesterday A Closing Rally in Corn Quite a Lively Business in Oats in the Morning Provisions Sympathetic CHICAGO. Everything dealt in on the Board of Trade was again weak and lower to-day. The news was generally bearish and the conditions rather discouraging to holders. Domestic marsets all had a down ward tendenoy. The line weather here and the mildness which the weather map showed to be prevailing through out the winter wheat belt, was also a weak factor. The trade was light, the demand being largely confined to the covering of shorts. There was some efforttnade to check the weakness by using a weather scare, but it fell flat. Still the covering on the break was sufficient to pre .vent anv trreat slump In values. Mav opened at 87Jjf87Jc, against 87cat the close yes terday: bioke to 8637c; rallied to 87','e; went off to 85c: strengthened on covering by shorts, and closed steady at 87c. Corn continued weak with lower urices. The weakness was due to liquidation large ly by country holders. Large receipts were also a weakening factor. May opened at 40-K41c, 'against 41c at the close yesterday, and sold down to 40-c. Then shorts began to cover, and this with somo Investment buying, stopped the decline and caused a rally which bronght the price up to 40c at the close. Oats were traded in freely during tho early part of the session, but in the last hour the market became quiet. There was free liqui dation by longs early, and no deman d except .from shorts, -who bought liberally. The heavy offerings, however, produced weak ness, and May closed at 29c, a loss of c, after having touched 29Vc Hog products, in the absence of any other news to affect prices, were governed largely by the fluctuations in wheat and corn. The market was dull and with narrow fluctua tions. Pork and ribs closed 2c lower, while lard was unchanged. The leading futures ranced as follows, as correct ed by Jonn M.

Moorhead Farm. TWO NEW WELLS DUE LAST NIGHT. Oil Discovered in the Hundred-Foot Eand West of Noblestown. COLONEL P. II. SHANNON ON THE TRUST The producing territory inthe McDonald field is extending almost every day. Wells are being brought in in octlying districts which are rapidly, extending the limits of the field and increasing its scope until it is at present one of the largest ever developed. The Devonian Oil Company's well, on the W. B. Moorhead farm, reached the Gordon sand late Friday night, and at an early honr yesterday It was reported to be making 30 Barrels an hour from the third sand. It Is in the western Jart of the Moorhead farm, and is therefore west of the Wheeling Gas Com pany's initial well on this property. The Wheeling's well was at no timens large as the one bronght in bv the Devonian, which is generally conceded to be the biggest Gordon sander yet developed in the field. It opens np a big stock of now territory. Another peculiar feature developed yes terday was at Greenlee 4 Forst's No. 2, on the No. 1 Marshall lease, west of Nobles- iowii. u mie aruung in tne juo-root sana, the well began to flow and threw a column of oil over the crown pulley. There was a fire in tho derrick, and in a few seconds the rig was In flames, but by quick work, the men on tour at the time succeeded in saving the property. The well continued to flow for some time, but was not putting out any oil last evening, They were shut down and moving back the boiler. Expected the Pay Last Night. There were two wells drilling on top off the fifth sand last evening, and were ex pected to reach the pay at any moment. One of these is Jennings, Guff ey 4 Co.'s No. S, on the Matthews heirs' farm, located northwest or the old original Matthews well. The other is the Forest Oil Company's n ell on the Jane Stewart farm, northwest of uaKtiaie. The Devonian Oil Company's No. well, on the Boyce heirs' farm, in Southwest lie Curdy, was also in the top of the fifth sand. They lost the tools Friday, but had suc ceeded in getting them ont yesterday after noon, and tho ivell will be drilled in to-morrow. There is every indication that the above wells will be good producers. Judging from those which have been completed around them. The Oakdale Oil Company has succeeded in getting a string of tools out of its No. 6 on the Wallace farm, where they have been fishing for the last tour months on top of the fifth sand. Thev started to drill it in vester day and it was showing rather light, but as the pay in the surrounding wells was not reached until they were 18 feet in the sand, they still have hopes that tho Wallace No. 6 may yet he a producer. The same company has fishing Jobs on hand at four wells in the McDonald field. One Hundred Barrels a Day. Greenlee ft Forst's No. 2 on the Wade farm, located nearly, a mile south of Mc Donald, Is making about 100 barrels a day. It was erroneously reported yesterday morning to be making over 200. Jennings, Guffey & Co. are still fishing on top of thje fifth sand at their No. 5 on the Herron farm. Their No. 3 on this farm is through tne 100-foot. They are also fish ing at about 1.200 feet in their No. 5 Bell, and their Bell No. 7 is down 500 feet. Their No. 4 on the Matthews' heirs farm is being spudded in. Guffey Bros.. Jennings 4 Campbell were expecting the pay in the fifth sand at their No. 1 on tho Mrs. McMasfSrs farm yesteraay afternoon, hut. at a late hour last evening nothing had been learned in regard to it. This will be located northwest of McDonald and in the neighborhood of the famous Wet more wells The well of Peebles 4 Mnlarkev, on the pool room lot at Willow Grove, Is drilling in. the salt sand. Greenlee 4 Forst will get into the Gordon sand'Monday at their No. 1 on the Miller farm, at Laurel Hill station. It was at this well that a boiler exploded, whinh delayed operations nearly a week. Producers Made to Suffer. Colonel P. M. Shannon, who is a member of the Executive Committee of the Pro ducers' Protective Association, and a di rector Of the Producers' Oil Company, re turned to Pittsburg yescerday from a trip through the upper oil country. When asked as to the opinion of the producers he had met In regard to the disso- lution of the Standard Trust he rorjlled: "Ttiey do not believe that it will affect the pioducingend of the business one way or the other. The Trust has been declared illegal, and tbe Standard people are going to comply with the law in a certain sense. They will dissolve the trust, hut they will fludmeans.of carrying on the businessjust as they did before. It is true that the trust has in a way cheapened the price of refined oil to the consumers, but whatever has been tbe con sumers' gain has been at the cost of the pro ducers. The latter mere made to bear the burdens. Even now the Standard is trying to gain 11 monopoly in Europe by driving out Russian competetion, but they are making the flght with the Nobel Bros, and the Rothschilds at the expense of the producers of Pennsylvania, so you can see the producer is made to suffer on everv hand. Some time ago Andrew Carnegie was quoted as saying that he saw the beginning 01 me en a 01 me acanuara, ana 1 oeiieve tne decision of the Ohio courts is the beginning of the fulfillment of that prophecy." The McDonald Ganges. The prodnction of the field was 24,500 yes terday, tho same as the day before.

Price a Little Higher, bnt Business Nothing to Brae About. Trading was only fair, a little better 'than the average perhaps, but far below the point warranted by conditions.

People Beginning to Find Use for 7hetr Money Local Features. The monetary situation underwent con siderable change during the week, and less was said abont the big surplus than for some time. This was due to a better call for loan s incident to the advanced'season. While general trade was quiet, it was by no means bad. Improvement was noted in some lines. Should the revival continue and expand, as expected, surplus funds will soon bo called into requisition.

Old Papers Which Have Never Been Called For Troublous Times Recalled Through e Them Something for Cyrus Marsh, His Heirs or Assigns In this country of ever shifting human panorama a man or woman may ocospy con siderable space and yet be forgotten within two or three decades If Annie Bracegir dle, Colly Cibber or Peg "Woffington, or their equals, were alive now, the chances are that they wonld be forgotten by the year 1925 to such an extent that only a few old people and antiquarians would know anything particularly about them. There are to-day thousands ot adult people in every State of the Union, and people who are not illiterate, who cannot tell you who or what manner of man Henry ..Ward Beecher was C Kimberland is preparing to move, his office and is having a redding-out or ac cumulated letters, papers, eta, that no longer possess any commercial value. Among the collection, is a let in tin boxes that were left in his care some 20 years ago, by a mannamed Cyrus Harsh, who, accord ing to a discharge from the Confederate Army given by 31. F. Berry, was Major and A. A. General, commanding Camp of Instruction at Enterprise, Miss, on May 21, 1863. It recites that Marsh was born in the State of New Tort, that he was then 33 years of age, was a merchant and honorably entitled to a discharge from service in the armies of the Confederate States of America for the term of three years, by reason ot his having furnished a substitute 'in the person of Thomas "W. Brooks, a citizen of the Confederate States, 53 years of age, born in Ireland, and by oc cupation a mason. As Brooks would, if alive, be 82 years of age now, it is probable he sleeps with his fathers. Another is a copy of the amnesty oath taken by Marsh in the Probate Court of Adams county, Miss., July 22, 1865. An other is a pass given Mrs. Marsh, November 11. 1864, by the Provost Marshal of New Orleans, and another given her November 5 by the Provost Marshal oi Natchez. The latter allowed her and her children to pass to New Orleans, and the former from there to New York.

What seems strange abont the matter is that a man of the prominence of Harsh could drop out of sight and not cause any comment. He came to this city from Beth any. "W. Va., where he had been a gnest of J. K. Pendleton, President of Bethany Col lege, the institution founded bf the cele brated Alexander Campbell. President Pendleton has a son living in this city and pastor of a Christian, or as it is sometimes called, Disciple Church. In all these years no inquiry has come from anyone regarding the papers, though one would suppose thev would be of value to the family as members, if for noth ing else. It seemsthat Marsh was of an inventive v bent of mind, as among the papers wers found much correspondence with the Patent Office at "Washington and an announcement that a patent had been granted him. There is some correspondence relative to a patent for acotton planter.
