THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH. FRIDAY, . MAT 6, 189a, 11 BELOW SISTERSVILLE. Tatty Bros.' Well on the E. Wells Farm FloTvinj Every Half Hmr. ANOTHER SHOWING NORTH OP IT. This Field Predicted ly a Titnsville Citi zen Four Tears Aco. 1TD0XALD AND MOON OPERATIONS Sistersville was more talked about yes terday than McDonald. There were no wells expected in at SIcDonald, and except in the south aDd southwest it has been pretty thoroughly drilled over. Two of the wells drilling at Sisters ville came in yesterday, and as they give a greater outline to the scope of the field they are two or the most Important which have beon drilled in that field. Ono of them, that of l'atty Bios., Jlei cor, Apple, Elyoa Co., on the E. Wells, was announced In The Dis rATCH yesterday morning as showing for a (rood well. It is located thrce-iu:irters of a mile below the town ol Sistersville, nnil ex tends the field Just that much further to the south and wist. Telesrams received from thore yesterday gave the iniormation thnt it was flowing every 30 minutes Mid was Improving. As in all ot the Sistersville wells it was making a good deal of salt water at every flow, but not as much as found in some of the other wells. About 2J4 miles northeast of it on a 22U- ricgiee line the well of the Emery Oil Company on the J. Ilub bnrd farm was in the sand and showing for a well. It is on the Ohio side of the river and about a mile and three-quarter fiom Sistersville. These two well", with others that have been drilled, indicate that there is a large pool in the locality almost as long as 31c Ponald proper. The only well which has indicated that it might prove better than 101 or ISO-barrel ter ritory is I.udwig & Mooney's on the Knssell farm, located northeast of Sistersville on the Virginia side ot the river. . A Story of Sistersville. Apropos of Sistersville the following statement wns made to The DisrATcn scout jesterday Iiy a well known geologist and Jiil operator of Pittsburg. "Four years ago," Miid. he, "I was talking to Jonathan Mntsun, a well known resident or Titus villo. He was somewhat of a Spiritualist, and during the conversation he said that the spirits or two of his lriends had told him that there wrs oil around Sistersville. istersvi le hnd not been heard of nt that time, and I asked where it was. 'Forty miles below- Wheeling on the Ohio river,' .Mr. .Wntoon lcplled. I then asked him whose spirits had told him. He said that one was n Mr. Rnnsc, who was burned to death at Kon-eville, and the other, David Crosley, a well-known upper country man. I thought no more about it until oil was found less than a ear ago at Sistersville. and then I re called Jonathan Watson's wordh." The Victor Oil and Gas Company's well on the Tolloek farm, four miles up the river on t le West Virginia side from Sistersville, and opposite Williamson's Island, has been caed.

The production of McDonald went up yc-terday from 21,000 to 21,500 barrels.

WEATHER IN THE WEST. Rains, Snows and Cold Begin to Have an Ffftct on 'Change Wheat Slow to Start, but tlt Hull Movement Is In Fall Itlast. CHICAGO The bears In wheat and corn wore more severely tossed on the horns of the Board of Trade bulls to-dny than at any time for some weeks past, nnd It was all on nccount of the weather; not that it was very much worse than it has boen, but because of its continued and widespread effect. All privato advices rccoivod to-day were of the most discouraging nature. The already water-soaked fields, from North Dakota to Texas, received a fresh load or precipi tation last night and to-day, while streams nie swollen beyond all bounds. Low temperature is preventing germination on the highlands. It continues to snow or freeze over largo nreas in Minnesota ana the Dakotas, although a largo proportion of the seeding is still unfinished. Shorts have been getting nervous for somo time, and speculation has been growing more friendly to the bulls; but the dullness and narrow ness of trade has been nzainst any material advance, tond it has not been easy to start the boom. But this morning the friends of wheat showed moro courage. Shorts displayed more nlann, and while trade was lar from active, a stronger feeling ruled. Good buy ing oi ders came in irom the Northwest, and Xw Yorkers finally came into line, while local shorts made a w ild rush to cover. Corn is doubly affected by the weather conditions. The muddy roads prevent the larmers from delivering thoir undeniably large surplus, and tho soaking which was getting In unprotected cribs must inevitably lover still further tho already too low grad ing. At the same time tho sodden ground cannot be plowed, and the planting of the new- crop is till further delayed. All of this gave the corn pit tc-dav a sort of St. Vitus dance appearance. That ceic.il was the first tb feel the effect of the weather conditions, opening excited and higher. Tho wheat crowd, while somewhat Inter ested in the higher opening of their grain, took things rather easr until the corn flurry had about exhausted itself In the early deal ings ana stopped jor resr. men me wheat market began to warm up, and when it got fairly going it led the shorts a merry dance. It did not weary until It had added 3c to yesterday's closing price. Oats wore strong in sympathy with wheat and corn, and on account of tho weather the mm ket closed at an advance of lj-jc. The only restful pnt on the floor of the Exchange was the provision pit, and It was onry quiet in comparison with the turmoil in the grain markets. The Price Current gave the week's packing in tho West at 210,000 head for the week, against 151,000 head for the corresponding week of last year. The stiongtb of tho grain markets was the de terrent force which pi even tod a declino nnd permitted an advance In hog products. Xcar the close pork and ribs weakened somewhat, and final figures hw betterments of 12fc and 15c in pork; 7i10c in lard, and 2c in ribs. The leading intures ranged as follows, as cor rected by John M. DaVley Co.. 45 Sixth street, members of the Chicago Hoard of Trade: Open- Hlgn- Low- Clos- Articles. Ing. est. est. In. Wheat, JJo. 2.

Thore was modoiato activity in local mon etary matters yesterday, but geneial condi tions were much tho same as previously noted. A largo aggregate business was transacted, with nofrictlon to attract at tention. Bank clearings were $2,6J5,312 11 and balances H28.3S9 43. Tho Interest rate was 5Q6 per cont. SpeuKingot gold shipments a recognized financial authority says: "The only time at which gold exports are serious is when bank leserves aro diminished and when money is scarce and rates high. This is not the situation now. What difference does it now mako whether Europe takes $7,000,OvO or $20,000,000 gold? Value is always given lor tho specie no matter whethor the considera tion is securities or incieased importation of cheap sugars or any of tnepioducts that aro admitted Jree or duty. Bank reserves are now, taking tho country as a whole, without piecedent. Deposits in New York nre $533,700,000, as against $407,100,000 a year ago, and have increased $128,600,000, while only $88,600,000 represents tl.eytai's increase in loans: t40,000,000 or new deposits aro thus completely idle." That an .lminouse busi ness is being transacted under these condi tions shows that the country is as rloh as tho banks. At New York yosterday moner on call was easy at 12 per cent; last loan 2; closed of fered at 2. Prime mercantile paper, 3V 5 per cent.

Tho stock market to day exhibited more animation than on any previous day this week, and it developed marked strength in a few stocks, principally tho Grangers, while the Coalers wero slug gish, not to say heavy, and the Industrials wero weak. The general market, however, displayed nn advancing tendency. Tho most importnnt movement was in Sugar, and the declining tendency which has marked tho oourso of the stock for tho laBt few days was intensified irtto positive weakness and a snbstnnti.il loss resulted. The strength In the Grangers was hailed as a most encouraging signal.thougiithe heavy drop in Sugar as too much for tho force np plied to-dav, and the bet prices were not maintained when tho rest of tho'maiket gavo way. Thoie was a material declino in both Read ing and Lackawanna, which, with Missouri Pacific and Tennessee Coal, wero the special weak spots in the railroad list. Tho upward movement of the foronoon lasted during the first hour, after which there was a slow but attndy depreciation In values, and the early gains were nenily all wiped out. Most of the stocks "acre carried below the level of last night's flguies and remained there thioughout tho session. Tho only marked oxception was Omaha preferred, which failed to yield at all, nnd is the only stock showing an important ad vance.
