THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, ITUDAT, APRIL 22, 189a
11
HAS SOME OPPOSITION.
Butler County Operators Will Oppose
the Shutdown Movement.
BELIEVE IT IS THEIR TORN SOW.
A Storage Company May Be Organized to
Take Care of the Surplus.
LIGHT WELLS THE EULE TESTEEDAT
Considerable doubt is expressed as to
the ultimate success of the shutdown
movement. It is not the universal more
men t that some operators would like to
hare their friends believe. Those who are
in favor of it are load in their advocacy,
while its opponents arc saying nothing but
sawing wood
There seems to be a general feeling among
the operators outside of the McDonald field
that is antagonistic to it. Even a number
of the McDonald people who have signed
the agreement did It under protest and on
condition that producers all over Penn
sylvania and West Virginia should also go
in. Arrangements are now being made. to
hold a meeting of the signers early next
week. Then the situation will he thoroughly
discussed and the plan of campaign out
lined. D. W. Clark, or Butler, who is one of the
leading operators in the country, was in
Pittsburg last evening. He is opposed to the
shutdown and says he cannot comprehend
how the McDonald operators can ask out
siders to co into the movement.
"They ruined scores of little operators In
the outside fields hy the way in which they
drilled McDonald last fall," ho said. "They
piled up a big lot of stocks, knocked down
the market and now expect us to go in with
them.
Will Operate if Prices Improve.
"I have not drilled a well since last Novem
ber, but I have plenty of territory yet to
drill, and as soon as a shutdown movement
is inaugurated and the market goes up I
will commence operations. This seems to
be the prevailing sentiment in Butler, and I
erpect to see a big lot of new work started
in that county this summer if we get better
prices."
John Galloway is one of the most enthu
siastic supporters of the shutdown scheme.
He has circulated a petition and secuied
about 40 signers. Be says he is on the work
ing committee, and states that a movement
is now on foot to organize an immense stor
age company, with a capital of at least
$3,000,000, which will take care of all the
surplus oil produced. If the scheme i a
success they will build tanks in the field,
and instead of giving the oil to the pipe
lines they will run it Into their own tanks
and hold it for better prices.
Mr. Galloway says .that by this means
they would expect to croate a demand for
crude oil by holding back the surplus.
Another method by which they are trying to
reduce the surplus is hy introducing it as
fuel into the mills and furnaces about Pitts
burg. The producers have agents at work
now, and E. H. Jennings and the Fisher
Bros, stated that they were confident of se
curing a fuel consumption in Pittsburg of
from 6,000 to 10,000 barrels.
Claims It Is Cheaper Than Coal.
The Producers Oil Company and the l P.
A. are now delivering it at several places in
tho two cities for from 74 to 77 cents a barrel.
At the Hall Steam Pnmp Works 330 gallons,
or S barrels a day are used, and it is
claimed at the works that they save over $1
a day by using oil instead of coal. They
also state tnat tuere is no ainerence Be

Stirring; Business Center.
SEAL ESTATE BROKERS' COMMISSIONS
In a eareful review of the business situa
tion a competent authority makes these ob
servations: "While business is by no means
bad, it is not equal to expectations. Bat it
is improving. The outlook is full of en
couragement. That the country is upon the
eve of a general expavion of trade, and'of
manufacturing and agricultural prosperity,
is evident. Prices of all kinds have been
crowded way down, and that is the prelim
inary step for improvement. The very
evils of which people are complaining will
open up avenues for escape from such a re
currence, and for permanently better prices.
The whole world is learning not only how
to have better government, but how to
maintain industrial prosperity, and to enjoy
the benefits and plenty which come from
our greatly increased productive capacity."
(Exchange of Properties.
A residential property in the lower part of
Allegheny City was traded yesterday for a
building site on North Highland avenue.
Considerable is being done in this line of
business. A Fourth avenue broker has on
his books a number of propositions to ex
change 'Western lands for city property,
Improved or unimproved. Another broker
has a'lbng list of farms in "Western Penn
sylvania and Eastern Ohio for exchange for
Pittsburg real estate. In making exchanges
valuation plays a subordinate part, and
such transactions are unreliable as indicat
ing the trne market price! Convenience is
the object sought. The city man thinks he
can do better in the conntrv and vice versa.
Both are frequently benefited by the ex
change Steady Growth otMcKeesport.
If McKeesport maintains its present
rate of development it will in a few years
be entitled to a higher rank among the
cities of the State. Business of all kinds is
flourishing. Building is very active. A
Pittsbnrg real estate" broker, who handles a
large amount of HcKeesport property, said
yesterday that on a recent visit he counted
upward of CO houses in various stages of
completion. Among the builders he men
tioned the following: G. M. Leppig, nine
houses; Boss Smith, six;-Thomas Lane, five;
G. F. Myer, three; P. McKea, twe Some
of these are under way and work on others
will begin at an early day. There is talk of
several good business houses going up this
season. The gentleman referred to above
controls about 60 feet on Filth avenue, upon
which he thinks a commodious store will
be erected during the summer.
Commission Rates Determined.
The Milwaukee Real Estate Board, which
is still in its infancy, experiences the same
difficulties in adjusting questions of com
missions which have been met by the Chi
cago Beal Estate Board, and which are now
engaging the attention of the Beal Estate
Exchange. An amendment to the articles
of association is proposed, making the fol
lowing provision: In case any agent listing
a piece of property shall himself sell the
same he must notify the 'Secretary within 24
hours, or else forfeit one-half of the com
mission to any other agent who may secure
a bona fide purchaser for the property. Two
other paragraphs will determine the commis
sion to be paid namely: On sales of $3,000,
3 per cent: up to S10.000. 214 per cent, and
up to 540,000, 2 percent.
Testerday's Building Permits,
Yesterday was one of the best building
days of the season. Nineteen permits were
issued, representing 25 improvements, cost
ing, according to estimates', (34,14c The

A CIRCUMSCRIBED MARKET.
THE
ONLY FEATURE IS ANOTHER
RAID ON THE COALERS.
Beading Attacked, and Then Lackawanna,
Taking the Starch Oat of the Trading
Foreigners Still Sellins Erie and St.
Paul Industrials Strong.
New York, April 3L The operations In
the stock market to-day were more circum
scribed than usual of late, and the strength
given by the covering of short contracts
was lacking, which, with a general bearish
feeling by the local traders, lesulted in a
comparatively dull and dropping market.
The Coal stocks were still the favorite pb
Jocts of attack, and Reading was subjected
to another vigorous raid In the early deal
ing", which resulted in a loss of 1 per cent
to 57, at which point the support became
pronounced enough to cause a partial cessa
tion of the pressure.
The transfer of the pressure from Reading
to Lackawanna followed immediately, how
ever, and that stock was found to be much
more vulnerable, and a decline of about 24
per cent was established. This checked the
improving tendency in the general list, and
prices remained under those of the opening,
while New England again showed weakness
under freer offerings, declining per cent.
There was still some selling of Erie and St.
Paul for foreign account, and the late sales
by the foreign element wero reflected in
higher rates for exchange, which of itself
exerted a restraining influence upon the
amount of business done, and with the ex
ception of the Industrials all other stocks
than those mentioned were extremely dull
and uninteresting.
The efforts to cover in the late dealings
neutralized the declines In a part or the list,
and the strength in the Industrials, espec
ially Distillers', helped the rally to some ex
tent. The market was almost entirely pro
fessional, and the close was active and firm.
The final changes are generally small losses,
while Lackanna is down V and Jersey Cen
tral 1 per cent, partly balanced by a gain of
1W per cent in Distillers'.
, Tne total sales of stocks to-day were
279,980 shares, including .Atchison, 3,820;
Delaware, Lackawanna and Wcstorn, 2,525;
El ie, 23,010; Lake Shore. 3,500: Northern Pa
cific, preferred, 6,800; New England. 21,510;
Reading, 115,700; St. Paul, 16,173; Union Pa
cific. 4,500: Western Union, 5,068.
Railroad bonds were still moderately ac
tive without the development of any feiture
of note, and tho subsidence of the trading in
the Richmond and West Point issues was
folt, not only in the dealings, but also in the
the temper of tho market. The Readings
wero still active, but held steady, and are
practically unchanged to-night. The sales
were $1,665,000, of which Reading firsts con
tlibu ted $123,000.

Some Improvement Noted In-the Offerings
of Commercial Paper.
The local money market yesterday was
quiet and unchanged in all essential points.
At two of the banks' a better call for dis
counts was reported. The bank rate was 6
percent, but funds wero to bo had at some
thing less. Currency was in good supply.
Clearings were $2,621,553 96 and balances
$426,093 02.
A New York authority says: "The offer
ings of commercial paper are now much
larger than a month ago, but so eagerly are
good names sought for, not only in tho city,
but in the interior, that there is no accumu
lation, and consequently lutes are easier.
Reports from other points indicated that the
heavy weight of idle capital is being lifted
as spring business progresses."
At New York yesterday money on call was
easy at 1 to 2 per cent; last loan 2, closed
offered at 2. Prime mercantile paper, 3K3
5 per cent. Sterling exchange quiet but
strong at $4 87 lor 60-day bills and $4 SS for
