A Conple of Producers Expected To-Daj, With Others 'to Follow Soon. EEPORTS FROM INDIA ASD EOUHANIA Yesterday was a day of developments in the McDonald field. One new well reached the filth sand and started off at nearly 100 barrels an hour, another is good for 75 a day from the Gordon, and two wells were shoe ing tor dusters in the fifth. The estimated production of the field was up 2,500 barrel'. On "Wednesday morning the Output was rated at 22,000 barrels, but j cstcrday It was placed at 24,300. Forst A Greenlee secured the big well yes terday; in fact, they own both of the new producers. Their No. 2 on the McMurray lease, between Oakdale and Noblestown, hit the pay In the fifth early 3 esterday morn ing, nnd started on" at 100 barrels an hour. It settled down gradually, and according to the last reports it was making 60 barrels an hour. The same nanies' No. 5, on the Vv'ado farm, south of McDonald, which was a bis; gasscr in the 50 foot, leached the Gordon sand yes tei day and is good for nl out 75 a dav. Their Xo. 0, on this fni 111, which entered the Gor don Wednesday, made 231 barrels in the en suing 24 hours. Their Xo. 1 on the McMurray lease was shot yesterday and its production was in creased to 50 barrels nn hour. Their Xo. 5, on the Marshall le.iscNo. 2, lsilue in the fifth In Monday, and will he closely followed by X'os. 2 and 3 on the same lease.

There were tvvo wells showing for dusters in the fitth band 3 eterday afternoon. The Forest Oil Company's Xa 2 on the Sam Sturgeon farm, located about 400 feet f 0.1th of their Xo. 2 on the Agnes Kemp, as IS lect in the fl thj esterday without a show ing of either oil or gns. The same company's Xo. 2. on the Jane Slcnuit, anil Xo. 1, on the X'ancv Scott, lo cated about a mile and a halt north of Oak dale, should both he in the filth sand this afternoon or evening. Fcitig, Keil A Co.'s Xo. J, on the malthouso propert3. was seven bits in the hlth nnd yesterday afternoon without oil or gas showing. The and was of an in lenorqualitr and little hopes were enter tained o Kitting a good producer. It is located about an eighth of a mile we-t and outli of the station at Oakdale, and 011I3- 153 feet east of lirnwn, Walker & Co.'s well on the Wilkinson lease, w Inch started ofT at 60 ban-els an hour. It would seem to indicate that the pool ends somewheic between it and the Wilkinson well, and gives the town lot wells, now drilling 111 Oakdale. a doubtful outlook. J. M. Gufley, Mcwart & Co. are down 1,400 feet 111 their Xo 3 on the McMichael farm, in the McCurdy field. The Ito3al Gas Company drilled its Xo. 2 well on tfio Mrore farm at Tenice deeper into the 50-foot sand yesterday without lm- S roving it. It is now making 50 barrels a as".

Carter in the Biadford field, has written to a fiicnd from India, and claims that the oil tound in th.it country issupeiior to either the American or Russian product. He went to India sevei.il years ago 10 drill oil wells and build refineries. The native oil burns like alcohol, making a clear, bright flame and docs not clear or bWcken the wick. He is located near Bnrinah, nnd the com-JV1113- for which be is woiking has thieeCOO lwirel stills running. He drilled one well from which the oil flows to Pangknlan Bran dan, a distance of ten miles, wheie the oil andgns is separated. Itismaking350bnrielsa day and is only 520 feet deep. One well has been flowm-r lor six years and is onlv 370 Jeetdecp. Hush Johnson and Daniel Jltiir, fnrmeily of Titusville, are with Mr. Mont gomery. The heavy work is done b3' M.ilnv s William II. McCrea, a well-known driller of Pittsburg, has Just returned fiom Itou- jr.ania, where he woikcd 011 two wells which were put down by a Philadelphia syndicate. Oil Is round on the Surface. The wells were drilled north of Bucharest in the vicinity or the Carpathian mountains. One was put down 1,600 and the other 1,100 leet, but no gas or o:l was found in either. There is a good deal of snrface oil in tho region and this led to the bclier that an oil bearing rock would be found below. Xa trv es secure oil by sinking shafts from 100 to 200 leet, but t'lerc seems to be no oil farther down. Xcar the city or Plovesti. about 100 miles east of Bucharest, a 100 barrel well was struck recently, and thcie is much excite ment in consequence. Hugh McKccver. A. E. Culveison and John "l illiams, all well-known drillers, weie with Mr. McCrea. He is glad to get back, as the natives mound where he was drilling are only half civilized, and the countrv is rough and rngsed. Theioodwas ir fnim mlin. ble and they w ere foi ced to live in the same semi-barbarous wav as tho bloodthirsty mountaineers who dwelt in the region. Yesterdaj'n Market Features.

The. rioods Davit g Tlielr Inevitable Eflect on 'Chancre Corn Still the Leader' Speculators Have to Watch the Market Closely Provisions Only Sympathetic.' CHICAGO Eveiy pit was booming on "Change to-day. Wheat shorts were scared and. sent prices up for a time nently 2c. Corn this evening, compared with lastnight, is up lWc for July and 2Jc for May. All kinds ot provisions scored an advance. In wheat not only was theio sharp action In prices, but tho trans ictions were heavy. The first indication that a bulge w as coming was felt in tho closing hours yesterday, when a few shoits sought to cover ahead of the. ciowd. It was even hinted that a number or operators licld a sort of "caucus," at which it was decided to have offerings so light and bidding so strong this morning that the shorts would take to their heels and tho maiket get a big lift. This is not seriously believed, bnt the market acted just like it. Ihe opening was c higher than yes terday's closing, ens-ed otTc or so and then became strong, prices advancing lc, be came easier and declined lKc; ruled steadier and the closing was about 1K higher than 3csterdav. .,,., The corn market was one that had to be closely watched all day bv all parties with open trades. June and July shoits showed agreatdesiie to get out while there was some prospect of clearing weather in the fur West. The reports of damage already done and the thought thatagroatnicaortho corn land is vet unplowcd, w ith but ten w orking days remaiping iu May, caused the trade to take hold very confidently on tho buviug side. During the morning hour, however, thoie was Iree sell ing by longs with profits. The offerings were taken chiefly by shorts. There was some reaction from the highest prices, but as later dispatches came in from hundreds of points covering several States, stating that it was still raining, and no field work possi ble for many days, the market got a second up tm n and tho market closed at the top. Oats ruled much stronger to-day w ith corn, on the reports of bad weather, the close being made fiom to c higher. Trade was active but scattered. Piovisions had no Independent action. The great strength In corn caused shorts to get restless, and on moderate covering prices woie advanced all aiound, with the host gain in poik. JUI3 pork went 15c above last night's close, and left off with a net gain of 10c.

The Ursuline Convent PrJper Not Kott in the Market at Any Trice. TREND OP M0XEI AND SPECULATION A small business center appears to be forming on Dinwiddie street, between Col well and Filth avenue, to meet the requirements of a rapidly grow ing population. Several dwellings near the Lockhart property are being re modeled and store fronts put in. High rents on tho avenues are driving small dealers to the side streets, not only in the locality indicated, but in many others. Cutting Down the Mills. Property on the upper end of "Wylie ave nue is looking up. A strong objection heretofore to this thoroughfare has been the numerous hills and hollows on each side of it This source of complaint is being re moved. The hills are being leveled and the hollows filled up. A notable illustration of this may be seen on the northeast corner of "Wylie and Morgan streets, where Messrs. Coyle and Hutchinson have cut oft a gener ous slice of a steep hill and dumped it into a hollow in the rear, making their prop erties comparatively level. Mr. Coyle has completed the foundation lor a handsome modern brick residence at this point, to cost about ?6,000. Plans for several other build ings are under consideration.

Philadelphia Gas Sustained by Buying Orden Junction Railroad Joins tho Active List A Demonstration Against Luster Street Railways Sales and Fluctuations. ' There was considerable trading at the early stock calls yesterday, but at the last there was a conspicuous absence of anima tion, only one sale being made. Under the influence of a few buying orders Philadelphia Gas was steady all through. Tho broker who made tho raid on Tuesday was a buyer. Thero was nothing noteworthy in the lest of the list. Duquesne was a trifle weaker. Birmingham mudo a slight gain. They were offered hesitatingly, showing that holders are not ready to bo dictated to by the bears. The feature of the second call was tho sale of 00 shares of Junction Railroad at 30 the first movement in this stock for several months. Its importance as a link to sccuro a shortor route to Chicago has made a favor able' impression upon investors. At tho same call a 500-shaie lot of Luster was offered down to 8. It had been offered in small Jags at 9. The stock rallied somewhat and finished at 9 bid. Switch made a slight gain for tho day, but Underground Cable de clined half a point.

NOT A TIME FOR VENTURES. WESTERN FLOODS HAVING EFFECT OX STOCKS. A BAD Undoubted Selling for the Long Account Gould Xot a Bear Atchison Raided The Passing of the Dividend Hurts Xorthern Pacific Bonds Quiet. New York, May 19 The stock market was again practically in the hands of the bears, and, though stubborn resistance to the pressure was seen In some slocks, the special points of attack yielded rather readily, and losses approximated 2 per cent In some cases. Theio was undoubtedly some selling for tho long account, small holders becom ing discouraged by the failure of tho market to rise, while the floods and disasters In the West are having some influence to deter buying; and in view of the waiting attitude of the more influential speculators, many regaid the present as not a favorable time to enter into new ventuies. There was special pressure bi ought against Atchison this morning because of the proposed Issue of bonds, and while inci dentally the Grangers were paid particular attention none of them suffered as much so as the Erie stocks, which 3-ioIded readily on comparatively light transactions. The at tempt to prove the Gould following in favor of a lower range of values ceased, and Man hattan rose rapidly 2 per cent. Tho Villards, also, seem to have had tnelr day as bear cards, and all were well held, and in the early dealings even disposed to consider able strength, without scoring an advance of note. the low-priced stocks were qulto neg lected, and in no case furnished any feature ot auv Kinu. in tno aiternoon tne wnoie list subsided into the sumo condition, the firessure to sell being lemoved and no buy ng movement being stimulated by the de clines. Tho opening gave promise of a firm tem per to the dealings; hut there was a lack of buying orders, and tho bears soon pressed their advantage to the utmost. The decline extended until well into the afternoon, when it was resumed on the renewal of the pressure upon Xorthern Pacific preferred, whose decline again carried the list down waid. The announcement of the passing of the dividend was the signal Jor tho lator demonstration, and Xorthern Pacific pre ferred was caniod down to5J;f, while othor stocks lost only small fractions further as a rule. j . Tho covering of shoits failed to rally tno list to any marked extent, the close being rather heavy, with prices at or near the low est of tho day. The losses are generally for fractional amounts. The transactions reached 330,368 listed and 5,443 unlisted. The total sales oi stocks to-day were 335, 855 shales, including: Atchison, 73,690; Chi ca"o Gns, 11.500; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 3,300: Erie, 20,455: Hocking Valley, 4,115; Missouri Pacific, 8,115: Xoithwestern, 4 675; Xorthern Pacific, 4,460; Xorthern Pacific preferred, 66.314; Reading, 23,700; St. Paul, 21.400: Union Pacific, 15 460. Rtilroad uonus were more quiet to-aay, with the exception of Atchison Incomes, which were again heavily pressed for sale. Thoiestof the list were only modcrately traded in, and the close was barely steady. The following table shows the prices of active stocks on the Xew York Stock Exchange yester dav.

More Encouraging Keports Sent From This, City by Iron Manufacturers. New York, May 19 ifSpecial. The Iron Age trade report to-day says: From Pitts bnrg we havo reports of a noticeable Im provement in the demand for some lines of finished material, such at steel plates, wire rods, plain and barb wire and wrought pipe. But while the outlook is thus better as to volume of business, an advance in prices is not expected at present. Heavy deals in pig iron aie pending at Pittsburg. Besse mer appears to have settled down to $14 25 for early delivery, at which a block of 10,003 ton was sold, while 2,000 tons brought $14 40, delivered. Steel billets are quoted at Sil 3522 75, at Pittsburg, but large buyers aro endeavoring to lorce prices lower, claiming to have had offers ut$22 25. Our Northern markets renort increased business in pig Iron. The month of May promises to show a very large ton nage of sales. The tendency of furnacemen In some parts or the country. In which com mission houses have hitherto controlled tho pig iron trade, to ignore them and mako snles direct to consumers, prevents many trades from becoming public. Taking the aggregate of business known to have been done in the leading markets the past week, it will not be surprising if stocks at fnrnaco show a good decrease on the 1st of June. Finished iron and steel aie suffering severely from the competition among makers for such business a-s is now coming forward. The prices published this week touch the lowest depth thus lar reached in this period of depression. The foreign markets are reviewed by cable as lollows: Operations in pig iron warrants have not increased materially, but higher prices are current all along the line, due chiefly to uncertainties attending tho Dur ham s'tnke, a settlement of w hicli appears to be far off. Continued heavy draits upon supplies of iron in public stores also tend to affect the market. The total of Scotch iron in warrant stores is now 433,001 tons, or 4,000 tons less than a week ago, and the amount of Cleveland held there has dropped from 93.000 tons to S8.000 tons. Scotch warrants sold tin to 40 lOKd. Cleveland to 33s lid. and hematite to 433 lOd. Sales of Spanish hema tite iron, it is reported, have been made at prices that were current before the strike, ior delivery on the East coast. Pig tin hasadvanced about 15s, chiefly un der the influence ot lather small spots, stocks moderate, shipments from the Straits and exports to America. Outside specula tion moderate nnd chiefly in futures. Cop per is firmer. During the latter portion of the week there have been more speculative and freer purchases for consumption, which together with favorable advices from Amer ica and more Inquiry from the Continent, restore confidence. In tin plate there has been lather more business, ohlefly in Besse mer cokes and tornes. Charcoals aro ncg Iectod. A large demand for black plate Is noted from Spain, and heavy consignments have boen made to avoid tho new duty. Steel ship plates are down to 6 2j 6d, 1. o. b.
