OIL MEN DEPRESSED. The Downward Tendency of Market Discourages Them. the SEVERAL WELLS DCE THIS WEEK. f ome Yentures Showing Light in the Mc Donald Tool Yesterday; PUESOlfAIi POLNTS ABOUT PRODUCERS The tendency of the market to settle on the 50-cent mark 'has caused a clou3 of gloom, unctured with woe, to settle on theiaces of the great majority or oil oper ators the last few days. The average operator is a sensitive crea ture on the subject of the market. He watches its gentle fluctuations as the aver age youth doss the baseball bulletin. When I bo market Is ou the upward track, tbe ope rator is happy. It makes no diSercnce whether he lias a cent at stake, or a barrel of production. Hope is his staff ol life. 'With a good mat ket lie moos pood times ahead. It is an excellent barometer, anil will accu rately delineate tbo condition of Ills mind. For several days it bas been hovering be tween SS and 51 cents a barrel, and tbe oper ators correspondingly depressed. Tbo sit uation, be claims, warrants a .better price. Du tier county has been drilled over until a map of it and its wells resembles a mam momli sieve. McDonald has boon peppered until there is scarcely room to make a now location. The only drilling now beins done in that field is on the edjtes. The little Allegheny connty pooft have been sapped until little oil is left. Sistersvillo is new, but in the light of the SlcDonaldgnsliers.lt has not yet produced any market breakers. Its territory is spread lnc. bnt so tar tbe ontside wells are light. In the upper country, whicu emoraces Al legany county, X. Y JlcKcan, Warren, Ven ango and Forest counties, nothing.is being done in tbe wav or new work. It is this condition of affairs which leads the operator to believe that the market is n'ot as high as it should be. Small wells do not pan our, and the chances of getting big ones are so uncertain that few caio to risk $5,000 or$6, COJ in a blind venture at present. V llg Sbowirg Light at SIcDonald.

No. 1 Mrs. Campbell and No. 3 John McEnen. located south of Willow Grove, in the Meise district, are on top of the Gordon. It is claimed by persons familiar with the wells that the big Meise wellund thoe on the Mrs. Campbell and 31 rs. Kobb farms are drawing the oil from the smaller Gordon sanders located west of them.

TwelveAcres in the Upper Part of Wilkinsbnrg Change Hands. FEESH BUILDING INTELLIGENCE. Fifth Avenue Property Yiewed in Relation . to Removing the Hump. FEATURES OF MONEY AND SPECULATION Mr. John "Wesley, formerly prominent as a cattle dealer and butcher in East Liberty, consummated a transaction yesterday by which he acquired about 12 acres of land, situated above the Edgewood road, Wil kiosburjr, at a cost close to S25,000. The tract will be plotted and put on the market. Being near the line of the borough men tioned, and adjoining the Laveen plan, its improvement will emphasize the necessity for uniting the two towns. It is even now a difficult matter to tell where one ends and the other begins. Easier Than It Looks. The removal of the Fifth avenue "hump" appears to ba a less formidable undertaking than is generally supposed. Speaking of this . matter yesterday a prominent real estate operator said: "Ou the lower side ot the avenue, from Smithfield street to Boss, property is, or soon will be, in such shape as to make the catting of positive advan tage to it. The Court House was built with that end in view, and the Park block, cor ner of Fifth and Grant, as also the Carnegie block, and the M. P. Board of Publication office, will be. Kaufmanns are building on the same level. On the other side of the avenue, the Leader and the Maeder build ings are on the new grade. The houses west of these to Smithfield street are old, and the damage to them would not be great. The Cathedral property and that between Grant and Ko&s streets, on the upper side of Fifth avenue, are really all that would be mate rially injured." Building Intelligence. Mr. H. S. A. Stewart is laying the foun dations for four handsome residences on Stanton avenue, Kegley Place. They will cost in the neighborhood of $10,000 each. It was mentioned a short time ago that a Wood street banker was contemplating the erec tion oi a number of first-class dwellings in tbe Oakland district It is understood he has gone so lar into the scheme -as to con sult au architect in regard to plans. Some thing important in the building line is ex pected to transpire on 'Greenfield avenue before the world is a month older. Some heavy capitalists are interested in this quarter.

THE Itlsi and Fall of Pleasant Valley Sellers Made a Nice Turn Manchester and Airbrake Marked TJp No Special Changes in Other Directions. Tbe street railways monopolized business on tbe Stock Exchange yesterday. Nothing else was'traded in. A few other things were wanted, but differences in values could not be bridged. The feature of the day was a sharp ad vance, followed by a break in Pleasant Val ley. These were simply business move ments, and were not Dased upon anything affecting the company. The sellers were Long, Bailey and Caster. The stock cost them 25 or less, and by selling around 28 they made a nice turn. This was reason enough for unloading. Manchester Traction was anotherlnterest ing feature, selling at 5) at the first call and at 46 at tbe afternoon session. Du quesne wns fractionally stronger, but Birm ingham scarcely held its ground. The same may be said of Citizens' Traction. Pipeage improved its position, but Phlldelphia Gas closed a small fraction down for the day. All the advices from the new pas field were favorable. Airbrake made another Jump. There was none offnred under 44. Luster nnd United States Glass common submitted to slight concessions.

The Volums of Business Growing Smaller, Though Pricss Remain Firm A De clining Tendency In the Grangers Atchison Strong Railroad Bonds Quiet. Nbw York. June 23. The volume of busi ness at tho Stock Eiolianse grows smaller from day to day, but there is still main tained a stubborn firmness whiob, while based on the new ciop conditions and the general bright business outlook of the coun try, is not supported by any organized aid in a speculative way. Operators in the stock market are confined to the trading by small pools ou either side of the account. The opening was made on a very moder ate business, and at small bnt irregular changes from last night's figures, while the declining tendenoy in the Grangers met with little response from the rest of the list, while the strength in Atchison carried it up over 1 per cent. The liquidations in the Grangers depressed prices slowly, and Burlington, at its lowest point, was down over i, but the rest of the market, without exception, remained without apparent ten dency in either direction, fluctuating with in the uartowest limits and developing no lcatuie of inteiest whatever. The market gradually sank into tho most lnsense dull ness, the nomination of Cleveland having no effect cither to stimulate trade or cause any movement in prices, and the close was dull and lairly steady at insignificant changes for the day. The bond market was quiet except for Atchison and Richmond and West Point is sues, while the former was especially prom inent in the dealings. Total sales, $1,423,000.

A FBOFII FOB IHE EAST In the Unsettled Condition of Affairs In the Western Mills. New York, Juno 23. Special.' The Iron Age of to-morrow will review the metal markets as follows: The possibility of a strike of some duration in the Western mills is telling on the iron and steel markets. It has adversely affected pig iron, and has led to a rush of work to the Western mills for delivery prior to July 1, and is bringing orders to the Eastern mills for delivery after that date. Tbe opinion seems to pre vail in the trade' that both parties in the controversy, so lar as the Iron mills are concerned, have made extt erne demands in order to give themselves leeway In subsequent negotiations. In the steel trade the situation seems a little graver. Rails, of course, are not affected. In pig iron the Southern furnaces have In the West suc ceeded in placing a good deal of tonnage by lowering prices to the lowest notoh yet reached. Heavy sales are reported from Chicago, Cincinnati and Louisville, gray forgo having been sold down to $3 50, Bir mingham. Large sales are reported in Pitts burg of Bessemer pig for forward de livery at practically the lowest prices reached. It Is reported tnat the lasfdecllne is due to lower sales of ore in Cleveland, thus reducing the cost of production of the pig iron. This is confirmed, to some extent, by the fact that steel billets aro being of fered for August and forward delivery at prices as low as any made in the past. 'or spot billets there has been quite a sharp ad vance in the Pittsburg market, but the rise is due solely to temporary conditions. The foreign markets are reviewed by cable from London as follows: In prices" of pig iron wai rants the movement has been nar row, with hematites leceding about 6d, but neither Scotch nor Cleveland varying more than 3s. More has been done in Scotch war rants, however, but operations in Cleveland were limited, chiefly covering pievious "bear" sales prompted by fnrther reduction of stocks and disinclination of lakers to yield, despite the cessation of the Durham strike. The cansum ra tion of Cleveland iron has improved, uub au uiiiiei mica iiicio 10 tiu uiiuiii;. j.Jieia is somo pressuro for early deliveries or the former. Ac present there are 74 Scotch fur naces in blase. Cleveland furnaces are rap idly relighting. The last returns show a fur ther reduction in stocks in connula stores. Tho totals were 435,000 tons Scotch and 42,000 tons Cleveland. Latest traductions were at lis 3d for Scotch, 41s for Cleveland and 50s for hema tite. The p'g tin market has ex perienced a sharp reaction. Prompt deliveries, after reaching 103 15s, gradu ally weakened to 100, with futnres at 1 discount under pressure to sell. The latter movement was prompted by re ports of "bear" pressure to sell in New York. Local demand has been limited, how ever, and the feeling here is one of uncer tainty and indecision. Demand lor con su motion is momentarily limited. Conner has ueen quiet and" the market is easy at about 50, 10s decline on Mei chant bars. Tin plate bas bHn quiet but Arm. More doing in ternes at 22s 6d for doubles, nnd in Bessomers at 12s 6d for American ac count, but business otherwise on a moderate scale. In black plate lor America fair sales are reported at 8 10s.
