FINISHING UP WELLS.
One Light Fifth and Several Gordon
Sanders Brought In.
"WILLOW GROVE NOW IN ITS GLORY.
Tie Outlook Good for Mce Producers in the
Ueise District
KEPORTS FROM TEKONA COXFIBMED
Xlt hough it is now a year since the Ho
Donald field was opened up it is still active.
In McDonald, Willow Grove, Noblestown
ind Oakdale, the four embryo towns' which
have been brought into prominence bv the
oil industry, are yet almost as many people
as there were Dine months ago.
There are more permanent residents,
although the floating population which
always Infests an oil town is not so lame.
No tanks are to be built now, no pipe lines
to be constructed, and the speculators and
sealpfers,who were for a few months as thick
as flies about a molasses barrel, have nearly
all disappeared.
It is safe to say that not 10 per cent of
them made any money.
The best of the land had been leased be
fore they arrived, and the late comers got
onlvtown lots or farms, which proved in
different territory.
Willow Grove was for a long time negleot
ed, but with the daisies and dandelions It
bloomed into a full-fledged oil town. Just
like its neighbors. It has its shanty restau
rants and its palatial hotels, unpapered, un
carpeted, but not unsung, lor iom every
tram that passes can be seen thetrlaririgand
gilded signs, luring the traveler to taste the
delicacies contained within.
There it has itw pool rooms, shooting nai
leries, and tents tilled with liquid refresh
ments. The only features wanting to make
it a tvpical oil town however, are saloons
and dance halls. It is unlike its neighbors
In one respect in that it has not yet been ac
cused of harboring the pernicious speak
easy. Willow Grove Nnw the Center.
Back of or south of Willow Grove, which
is almost 17 miles from Pittsburg, on the
Panhandle Railroad, is the big Gordon sand
pool which Is being' gradually and steadily
ODcned up. It has already gained the sobri
quet of the AIeie district berause the
initial well in the pool was drilled by Lynch,
jjucuiieii & io., on tue jueise iarm, a couple
of months ago.
Just south of Willow Grove is a hill 800 feet
high and it is nearly a mile from the station
to the top. From the top a broad fertile
valley stretches ont to the south ana west.
In this valleg the big Gordon, or third -sand
isnowbeingfoundata depth of from 2,150 to
2,200 feet, and thus far every well has pro
duced from 250 to 1,200 barrels a day.
The beauty of the Gordon sand wells is
their staying quality. Thev did not play out
with a lizz and sputter, w hlch has charac
terized the latter day fl'th Sanders. It is
true that some of them have declined from
the prodnctiou at which they started, but
they hold on with a tenacity that is not gen
erallv found in the lower level.
In the valley south or the Willow Grove
hill there are 20 wells drilling and rigs up.
Even with this number the territory will
not be half tested. There aie none east or
due south or the Meise No. 1. and in these
directions others must be put down in order
to get at the value of the sand.
No Change in th Production.

terday was estimated at 23,500 barrels, the
same as Wednesday.

for No. 3 the first or rext week,

ing by Shorts and the Slim Prospect or
Anti-Option Legislation the Supporting;
Cause Cables Lower.
CHICAGO Surprising strength was
shown to-day In all the markets on 'Change.
The trend of news was decidedly bearish,
but corn advanocd lje, oats ljc, and pork
and ribs 17c The gain in wheat w as only
e. Thero were Just two reasons known
for the strength: First, Pardrldge was a
free buyer; second, the belier prevailed
among the trade that the antl option legis
lation will peter ont.
In wheat the opening was He higher than
yesterday's closing. The market advanced
fee more: then declined Vc; rallied ex fluc
tuated slightly, and closing was Jc irom the
top. Onerlnics were not ne-ivy, ana mere
wns moderate buying to cevor shorts, with
hot weather dispatches and some talk of the
growing wheat being interfered with by a
too rapid growth of weeds. Cables were gen
erally dulland lower, and the Russian crop
damage reports wei e denied. Tha price cur
rent dwelt upon improving prospects lor
both spring and winter wheat.
Corn suppoit appeared to come from the
short interest who were the principal buy
ers. The poor crading or the late arrivals
and the gootl demand for the cash article
were the factors which influenced the
course of the market, with the sharp ad
vance in Eastern markets. The opening
was at I4ic advance. Then the market
sold off a tilfle, bnt tne demand now became
urgent and the price went up with reactions
Vic: declined e, but rallied and closed
witlnn iir of the top.
All but 'c of the gain in oats was held at
the close.
Aside lrom a bulge in sympathy with corn
the provisions howed siins ot some manip
ulation. The shorts in pork were forced to
cover. Shorts were uneasy, ana a good
many country buying orders w ere received.
The leading futures ranged as follows, as cor

The Drygoods Market.
New York, June 16. The drygoods mar
ket was more animated to-day, although the
active movements were of a special char
acter. Bleached shirtings, lately reduced in
prices, were taken in good blocks. Bleached
goods from 7c down are scarce and very
firm. It seems probable that as soon
ns the revisions are completed a turn
in tendencies will become general and
prices will go up. Dnight Anchor 4-4
bleached was reduced to 8 cents. Masson
nellt 4 4 bleached, being without stock, are
booked for orders at value. Likewise Farm
ers Choice, which was rednced from 6 cents
to 5 cent, are at value. Business was firm
and lair in other directions, with activity in
prints and ginghams. Woolens were in
moderate demand.

LADT CAPITALISTS AS INTKSTORS
It is a cold day, as the savins ia, that doei
not bring forth something important in real
estate. Yesterday VT. A. Herron & Sons,
in connection with Black & Baird, sold a
vacant lot, 160x300 feet, on the southeast
corner of Penn and Dallas avenues to
Colonel Dallas C Irish, of New Castle, Pa.,
for f 22, 500 cash. Mr. Irish, who is one of
the largest property owners in Pittsburg,
his holdings aggregating upward of $1,000,
000, will at once proceed to erect an elegant
residence for himself. The lot was part of
the Myers property, the rest of which was
recently sold by W. A: Herron & Sons to
A. H. Wilson, of the Hast Ead Hotel. This
sale to a non-resident is another straw show
ing that Pittsburg's fame is spreading and
attracting outside capital.
Bought by a Lady Caplta'ist.
The sale ot the Gray property, No, 76
Third avenue, for $18,B00, reported yester
day, was made by Black & Baird. The pur
chaser is Mrs. Johanna Montgomery, not
James Montgomery, as stated. Mrs. Mont
gomery, who is one of the lady capitalists
of Pittsburg, is on her way to Europe,
where she will remain a year or two. Two
othe lady, capitalists have, within the last
six months, invested in central real estate
to the extent of $250,000.
Status of Real Estate Broken.
The buying and selline of real estate is
one of the principal activities ot Pittsburg,
and the men who are at the head of it are
entitled to as much consideration as is the
banker or the merchant. Some call them
real estate agents, but they prefer to be
known as brokers, since that term better
expresses the nature of their business. In
deed, remarks a writer on this subject, they
might not inaptly be considered profes
sional men. It is true that this standing is
not yet popularly accorded to them, but
they are holding on their Way, and are sure
oi eventually attaining some such desirable
place of honor. They have done, a great
deal for Pittsburg, aud will do still more, as
opportunity improves with the growth of
the city in population and wealth. That
they are, as a class, men of integrity, abil
ity and business skill no one will deny.
Advancing the Standard.
A sale on Penn avenne, near Wood street,
Wilkinsburg, is reported at $300 a toot
front The purchaser of the .MUligan prop
erty has been offered and refused $275 a
foot for Wood street frontage. The report
of the sale of the Parley property on More
wood avenue w? s confirmed yesterday by
W. A. Herron & Sons. The price was $17,
000 instead ot $20,000, as stated at the time.
Special Features of Trade.
The Westinghouse Electric and Manufact
uring Company yesterday declared a semi-annual
dividend of 3JJ per cent on the pre
ferred stock, payable to stockholders of rec

estate broker was in conference yesterday
with some of the principals, making final

Airbrake Continues IU Upward Movement,
Followed by 17. S. Glass and Under
ground Cable The Street Batlways
Hold Their Own and a'Little More.
The stock market was reasonably active
yesterday, and prices, as a rule, were strong.
Airbrake shot np to 128 bid at tbe laat call,
with none offered under 135. The steady
rise of this stock Is due to prospects of a 10
per cent dividend and growing business.
Insuring a steady return to holders.
The next most important advances were
scored by U. S. Glass common andv Under
ground Cable. The par or these stocks is
$100 each. As they are .away below this
mark they are considered good purchases.
There have been no reoent reports or
rumors 'concerning the condition of these
companies, but the latter is known to be
busy on large and profitable orders. The
other represents a large local Industry, and
has, therefore, great possibilities.
The street railways were steady, to strong.
Pleasant Valley was offered quite sparingly
at 26, showing that holders think it has not
reached high water mark. As previously
stated, the belief that it will combine with
M.mchesterand declare the usual dividend
next month are the bullish factors. Citi
zens National Bank advanced a good frac
tion, as did Philadelphia Gas. Thore was no
special change iu the rest of the list.
Sales at first call were 10 Luster at 9 and
35 Dnqnesne Traction at 2$. At the second
call 50 Underground Cable changed hands at
76. Business was better at the afternoon
session. Sales were: 75 Birmingham Trac
tion at 27, 50 Pittsburg Traction at 5SK. 32
Pennsylvania Gas at 10, 6 Manchester Trac
tion at 44, 10 U. S. Glass common at 67 and 30

CHICAGO BUYS SHARES,
COUNTERACTING THE EFFORTS
THE NEW IOBE BE IKS.
OF
Foreign Selling Depresses Louisville and
Nashvlllo Distillers' Driven Down
Coalers, Including Read.ng, Settle Down
to Dullness Most Stocks Close Lower.
New York, Juno 16 The stock market was
more quiet to-day than for some time, but
theie was no diminution in the efforts to get
prices down, and in a few cases marked suc
cess attended the drives. The market, as a
whole, however, was barreu of interest, and
while the buying power was still lacking the
stubbornness or prices was never more ap
parent. The realizations among the lighter
bulls continued with some selling by Lon
don, but the Chicago favorites weie still
the leaders of the market, and the desire to
cover in them was urgent enough to resist
the hammering opei ations of the loc.il bears.
The foreign selling was accompanied by a
decided dioD in Louisville and Nashville.
hut there is no real evidence that the selling
orders in that stock didn't have their origin
on this side of the Atlantic: and the weak
ness was without serious influence upon the
rest of the list. Small declines were fol
lowed by partial recoveries and later stag
nation In quotations, as a rule; but a soft
spot was tound in Distillers' which, despite
the declaiation of the dividend, was driven
down nearly 5 per cent; and while support
wns found around 47, there was no rallying
power displayed, and the stock remained in
the neighborhood of the lowest prices dur
ing most of the day.
'lho drive had. as usnal, no effect on the
railroad list, and with the lcmovalof the
pressure to sell the usual dullness resulted.
The Coal stocks were remarkably dull, and
even Reading showed little animation and
no movement worthy of note, fluctuating
with the rest of the list.
The one strong point in the market was
New England, and while it showed at one
time a net advance or 1 per cent it was quiet
and moved withoutappnrent cause, as usual.
The steady depieciation marked off the
prices of many or the list materially before
the close, which was quiet and weak at
about the lowest price of the day. The
transactions reached 264,691 listed and 9,503
unlisted.
The sales or stocks to-day were 274,124
shares, including: Atchison, 3,370; Chicago
Gss, 11.200: Eiie, 6,350: Louisville and Nash
ville, 20,155: Mlssouii Pacific, fi,790; .Northern

Rending, 20,t50; Richmond and West Point,
8;900: St. Paul, 33,700; Wheeling and Lake
Erie, 3 100.
Railroad bonds were qnlet and without
movement of note In any portion of the list
except the weakness in the Richmond and
West Point issues, the 5's retiring 2 to 64.
The sales reached only $1,165,000, with no
special active issue.

M0NETAEY TENDENCIES.
Large July Disbursements From Which
Something Good If Expected.
Yesterday was another quiet day in local
monetary circles. There was nothing new
in conditions or movements worthy of note.
Checking and depositing were fair, but dis
counting was slow. The Interest rates were
nominally S6 per cent. Bank clearings
wei e $2,828,554 23 and balances $629,525 91.
Tho Wat Street Dally News TemrKt: "There
is nowonly a little more than a fortnight to
spare botore we have to look for the largest
disbursements on account of dividends and
interest ever known before at any " period,
and there is no suggestion of any fresh de
fault, nor is there any delay in forwarding
money to this center to meet these large
disbursements. Of course, this docs not
mean any extraordinary Increase in specula
tion, but at the present low rate of money it
insures a steady demand for purely invest
ment stocks and bonds winch in turn must
stimulate trading."
At New York yesterday moncv on call was
easv at 12 per cent: last loan, lf: closed
at 1X2; prime mercantile paper 25per

The hot weather of the past few days has
greatly stimulated the demand for lemons,
and prices have advanced. Bananas are
firm, and oranges are dull and lower. The
quality of oranges ou the market of late has
been 'poor. Watermelons are coming in
more ireely and prices are lower. With the
exception of choice Elgin creamery butter
dairy products are quiet, and in favor of
buyers. Cheese is in supply beyond de
mand, and prices are a shade lower. Straw
berries were not so plentiful to-day as they
were a day or two ago, but there were suf
ficient for all demnnd, and only very fancy
were sold above 10c ner box. Old potatoes
are nearing their end, and very few choice
aie on sale. New Southern potatoes are
plenty and inclining lower. -
