Railroad Men and Bankers Getting Ready for Possibilities. THE WORLD'S FaIR A BIG FACTOR. Another Important Transaction in Twenty Second Ward Acreage. A SHADYSIDE KESIDENCE flCKED UP Business was generally good during the week, undergoing no marked improvement in any department, but certainly holding its own. Operations of the Clearing House were larger than a year ago. The banks found employment ior considerable money, but the demand was far below their ability to meet Stock trading was fair for a non speculative center, and values as a rule were strong. Real estate was in good shape so far as Inquiry went, but & little slow in point of "sales. Bnilding was tip to the limit of last year. Besults were satisfactory lor a week largely given np to politics. Symptoms of a nulge. The springs of trade lie deep; the expan sive influences are far beneath the surface. None know this better than the great rail road builders and great bankers of the country. There are evidences that some of these gentlemen are getting themselves har nessed up for possibilities of a bulge which they, perhaps, think they see in the horizon. They are not in the habit of announcing their purposes in advance. Certain con ferences have recently been held in New York and Boston of moneyed men, looking to the inauguration of schemes that mean, or will mean, a great deal, if undertaken. These capitalists are simply putting them selves in shape to be ready for railroad con struction on a large scale. The present movement is eimplv preliminary and pru dential. It has leaked out that they are not intending to actually push new con struction, but are only placing themselves in position to be ready to rush things when the time comes. The presidents of some of the largest railway systems have expressed themselves practically in the same way. These premonitory symptoms ot better times are certainly encouraging. World's Fair Possibilities. Another factor of controlling influence in the business outlook should not be omitted in-forecasting the future. Next year the "World's Fair at Chicago will attract thou sands ot wealthy Europeans to this country who will leave millions behind them when they return' home. Shrewd people think the money return to this country from this source will be equal to two crop harvests in a single year. Should results be as ex- Eected next year will be a good one for usiness, and especially so lor new enter prises. It is perhaps lortunate that the country is well supplied with. money, at present Unemployed, to enable it to meet anticipated exigencies, viewed in any reasonable light, the prospect lor the last half of this year and all of next is of the most encouraging character. Fale of EasfEnd Acreage, Mr. George E. Peebles yesterday closed the sale of a big slice of his property in the Twenty-second ward to three or four local capitalists for 545,000. The ground dis posed of fronts C50 feet on Braddock ave nue, the same on East End avenue and 4S0 ieet on Peebles street. It is finely situated, is high and level, and is within a short dis tance of Penn avenue and the "Wilkinsburg electric cars. It has been Mr. Peebles' policy to hold on to his real estate, and his change of base emphasizes the progressive tendencies ot the times in and arouud Pitts burg. The improvement of this tract will greatly increase the value ol his other hold ings. A Fine Residence Chances Hands. Another sale of importance was consum mated by Liggett Bros. They sold ior George Crawtord his handsome residence in "Westminster place, Sbadyside, to Bobert Patterson, one of the oldest residents of Duquesne, for 535,000.

HOME SECURITIES. INCIDENTS OF THE WEEK IN LOCAL SPECULATIVE CIRCLES. A Respectable Amount of Business Trans acted and Prices Generally on a Higher Level Nearly Everything Finishes at an -A drnnce Sales and Fluctuations. Considering the political pressure and the absence of some or the prominent Investors, business in stocks during the week footed up a respectable aggregate. There were few special features. The dis covery of a new gas field imparted addi tional strength to these interests. The talk of Pleasant Valley and Manchester con solidation was more confident. Tho failure of the Birmingham peoplo to declare a divi dend was no surprise, but caused a slight de cline in the stock. There is no doubt of the ability of the company to pay a dividend, but it was not considered expedient at present. Price chancres for the week were nearly all for the better. Airbrake led the advance, closing $4 higher than a week ago. Gains were also scored bv People's Gas, Philadel phia, Citizens' Traction, Pleasant Valley, Manchester, Duquesne, Switch, and United States Glass common. The finish wassteady at about the best figures of the week, excep tions being fe '. saies yesterday were sio.ooo Pleasant vnl ley consolidated 53 at 101. 10 Duquesne at 28, 50 Pleasant Valley at 27l, 100 at 27J. 100 at 27, 10 Philadelphia Gas, s. o. b., at 18& and 20 Luster at S.

They Fail to Prevent the Market From Being Intensely Dull and Purely Pro fessional Higher Prices Am Due Only to Covering Operation. New York. June 2o. Tho stock market was tame this morning, the dullness being extreme. While the trading was confined almost entirely to the professional element, and while the tone was strong throughout, it was due wholly to the covering operations or the local operators. Naturally the stocks which have been most under pressure for the last week-were strongest to-day, and conspicuous among them was Burlington, whieli was the only 0H1VK wjucu Hucueeueu 111 reacning nve n ures in the amonnt of its transactions, and was the only one in which the extreme fluctuation reached 1 per cent. As might he supposed, it led the list in strength nnd closed with a net gain of lper cent. Tho only other stock showing any approach to " .... o.un ouv...Uh .r -II this was Lackawanna, which rose SA. Tho rest of the list were, except Rock Isl and, New England, Atchison and St. Paul, intensely dull and almost stagnant, though sympathizing with the leaders in their up ward tendency. No feature or any kind marked the dealings, however, and the tam est sesblou or the Stock Exchange in many weeks finally closed with a firm tone at the best prices, but intensely dull. Total sales or stocks to-dav. 56.700 shares. including: Atchison, 6, 10 J; Chicago Gas, 1,500; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, 18K: Missomi Pacific, 3,400; Northern Pa cific prererred, 1,550; New England, 3,05.): Beading, 1,800; St. Paul, 4,100. ZZZ. Railroad bonds were quiet, but, like stocks, wore unusually bairen of feature, and the only movement or the day of inter est was the decline in the Detroit, Macki nac and Marquette land grants of IK per cent to 42. The trading readied $516,000, of which the Atchison incomes contributed $106,000. Fntile Bear Attucks. John M. Oakley & Co. received the follow ing fiom Watson & Gibson: "The London market did not cut much of a figure to-day in its influence on our prices. The fact that the London exchange is closed eveiy other Saturday for rcpaiis may have a signifi cance, and, in duo time, an influence, lor tbe repairs may extend to prices and per manent betterments result therefrom. This was a slow market. New England, Atchison and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy were as active as ever. "The first named has not lost its attract iveness to the speculator, and it can be said or New England that it is the only road run ning out or Boston whoe stock Is selling at shallow figures; in fact, the others are nearly all on a dividend-paying basis, and while the local business ot many or them is a profitable and Increasing one, the oppor tunities ior New England are equally good. It has the best terminal facilities, and while they are worth big money now they are continually increasing in value. This road is practically the shortest line to the West, nnd tho lact that Reading has arranged for an advertised through express train from Philadelphia to Boston and return indicates a new line of travel nnd the additional im portance of New England. " hicagoGas round some support to-day on.tbe strength or a Chicago dispatch that President Benedict had bought an option of the Mnmal Fnet Gas Company, but no aatual net warn elioltad. "Tha bin statement ihoved ft low In tat reserves of $2,900,000, but the deposits de creased $5,100,000. which required the banks to have $1,250,000 less reserve, therefore the actual loss was over $4,000,000, but it must be borne in mind that over $7,000,000 in specie was sent ont last week, and so the decline in reserve was not serious; in fact, the state ment was n fair one. "Tho attacks or the bear element, which at times develop 'boldness, do not suc ceed in weakening the prices of stocks, and with any indication of buying for the for eign account, which we have reason to be lieve is likely to follow the short interest, this market is likely to turn and become buyers.

Ho Petroleum Found East of the Brady's Bend Anticlinal. IT IS 0YEE 200 MILES IN LENGTH. Features of tbe 'Pinhook Curvature -Noticed uy E. C. Eeardslej. WELLS IK TUE GORDON AT M'DONALD With John F. Carl, who had charge of the geological surveys of the oil and gas re gions of Pennsylvania, and Prof. X. C. "White, of "West "Virginia, E. C Beardsley, of pittsDurg, has probably a greater practi cal knowledge of the geological formation of the oil and gas belts than any other man in the country. He was in a cheerful mood yesterday after noon when The Dispatch scont en countered him. Mr. Beardsley is a large man in every particular. He is considerably over 6 feet high, and with his massive bodv and full beard might easily he transformed, with the exercise of a little imagery, into a giant of the olden legends. Branching ont on tbe snbject of geological formations, he said: "It is a curious facr, hut nevertheless a fact, that no paying oil well has been fonnd east of the Brady's Bend anticlinal, or fifth axis, as It is known to geologists. "This is one or the longest anticllnals we have. It is plainly traceable from the mouth of Woods' Bun, on the Ohio river, Jnst below Pittsburg, to Smethport, the county seat or McKean county, a distance of 200 miles. It Is called the Brady's Bond anticlinal because it is most prominent near Brady's Bend, where it crosses the Alleghe ny river. "The biggestgas wellshave all been fonnd east of this anticlinal, but as I stated no oil in paying quantities has yet been dis covered. As nearly every school boy knows the whole Appalachian range or mountains is dne to pressure,andnot to volcanic action as,are the Itockles. Illosrra'lnc the Earth's Contraction. "These anticllnals are the result or pres sure, or the contraction or the earth's surface. To illustrate more fully. Take an apple, place it on a, mantel and let the jnlce dry out of it. and the apple will be covered with little ridges. It was the same way with the earth. In the center of, or rather on top or, the sound ridzes on the earth's surface, which have thus been thrown np, oil and gas are fonnd. i'TIio Chestnut Kidge and the Laurel Hill anticllnals have boen faulted, or cracked, and tbe gas has escaped which, probably, wonld otherwise have been fonnd In them. "Speaking nfgas recalls the Pinhook anti clinal. It is named from the little town of Pinhook down in Washington countv, near Ainlty, where the anticlinal was first no ticed by Prof. White. It runs northeast and crosses the Monongahela river near Brad dock. At the latter point it is flat "Anticllnals are not uniform in curvature, nor do they run in straight lines, but like tue nages on an apple, wilt twist ami turn in several directions. Their geneml trend, however, is northeast nnd tonthwest. "After leaving Braddock the Pinhook be comes more prominent, nnd reaches its grentest curvature hack of Verona, bntas it nears the Ki-kiminetas it agnin flattens, and leaves little hope tor oil or gas. "TheMurravsvilleand the Grapevine anti cllnals, which are entirely separate, are both east of the Pinhook; The Mt. Nebo. also a separate antlollnal. is off 10 the west, and others are traceable as far west as Lawrence county. "The Hickory gns field was formed by a cro:8-cut, or, as Pro!. White termed it, a 'hogback.' There was a fork in the anti clinal, and a short distance above the fork a cross cut had risen.whicn held an enormous amount of gas in the triangle thus formed." Showing for Qordon Sunders. NOBLISTOWN Greenlee Font's No. 3 on the Marshall & dial rant lease, located hair a mile southwest of this place, was reported yesterday afternoon to bo in the Gordon sand and showing for 75 or 100 barrel- a day.

Milllson, Friel & Co. reached the Gordon sand yesterday in their No. 4 on the Shaffer farm in southwest McCurdy, but had no showing of oil or gas. The Forest Oil Company's No. 3, E. Wright No. 1, Mrs. Campbell and their No. 1 John McEwen will probably reach the oil-bearing rock to-morrow.. The wells started several weeks ago in the northeastern part or tho McCurdy field are getting In the neighborhood of the sand. The Philadelpnla Gas Company's No. 1 Cole ii down 1,450 feet. Tho same company's No. 1 Peotis drilling at 1,300 Ieet and No. 1 Leech is 400 feet deep. The Lockhart Iron and Steel Company's No. 2 on the McCoy farm is in the 100-foot sand. .
