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."

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:

Bank Bcsorves Without Precedent In tho
History of the Country.
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.

Considerable animation was displayed at
all the stock calls yesterday under the con
duct of Captain Barbour, Secretary Chaplin

not heavy, but the feeling was buoyant and
values steady to stronger.

Tho next most Interesting stock was Central
Traction, which gained hair a point for the
day. Luster fell off a trifle. Switch and
Underground Cable were steady.
Thero Is an impression that nt the meeting
of the Manchester Traction Company on the
16th, terms of consolidation with the Pleas
nut Valley will bo considered. This, re
marked an insider yesterday afternoon, is
Incorrect. The meeting will be simply for
the election of officers. The advance In

THE PREVAILING TONE QDITE BEAR
ISH DURING THE DAY.
Sugar Leads on tho, Down Grade Most
Other Declines Are Small Omaha Pre
ferred Resists the Pressure and Scores a
Gain Bonds Active.
New Youk, May 5. 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. Theelosowas qniot but generally
weakat about tho lowest prices ot the day.
Tho final changes are generally slight losses:
but while Omnha prererred is up Sugar
is down 4K: Union raclflc, 1: LacKUuanna
and Reading, each Vt, and Cotton Oil, 1 por
cent.
Tho total sales of stocks to-dav were 267,070
share, Including: Atchison, 14 250; Chicago
Gas, 6,330: Delaware. Lackawanna and West
ern, 3.900; Erie, 5,270: Hocking Valley, 4,153:

St. Paul, 16,500: St. Paul and Omaha, 4,513.
Baiiroad bonds were fairly active, but
whilo displaying a firm temper tho upward
movement wns checked to somo extent by
the movement In stocks, and final change's
are slight in all cases. Tho dealings
reached $1,841,000.

Groceries.
Tho recent spurt In coffeo was apparently
without a good oasis to rest on. Thero aro
no openings for bulls in this lino. Last
year's crop was largo, and this year's, which
will be duo in July, promises to be equally
large. The movement of general groceries
is active, and this week will undoubtedly
show a larger volume or trade than last.

few days past, are now reported slow at the
old prices. Sheepskins are lalrly steady at
prices quoted.
