TEADE OF THE WEEK.
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

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 '.

TWO STRONG STOCKS
SET THE GAIT FOB TOE BEST OF THE
LIST IN STKENGfH.
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."

IHE WEEK 15 OIL,
Prices Glvo War Under a Considerable
Pressure to Sell.
The market was fairly steady early in the
week. The decline in the latter hair was due
to considerable oil pressing for sale and to
the approach of switching time. The ad
ditional fire loss added to the disgust of tbe
longs.
The field was practically in statu quo, and
had hut little influence upon values. After
the July deliveries Pittsbnrg will have con
siderably less oil than a month ago, having
sold heavily In the last ten days. Fluctua

CHICAGO The Derby paralyzed trade on
'Change to-day, and tbe directors readily
closed the session 45 minutes before tha
usual hour. There was a poor exense for a
wheat market most of the session. The '
principal matters to consider were the
weather, the harvesting reports and tha
probabilities of the anti-option bill. Nona
ot these contained anything to change prices
much. Fluctuations were confined to U
c Hinge, nnd the closing was abont He
lower than yesterday.
The corn market is not qntte so narrow as
wheat. What action there was occurred tha
first hour. The receipts, owing probably to
railway washouts, fell considerably under
the estimates. The grading was not im
proved. First trades were at about the final
guesses or yesterday. Upon the filling or a
few outside buying orders the market
firmed np c, bnt reacted c, a local
operator supposed to be Interested in the
long side selling freely of September. July
sympathized in the decline. The markee
again rallied, and at the close July had
gained VHaV. and September bnt a frac
tion. Oats closed from to o lower on tha
near futures, and about steady on the de
ferred deliveries. Trade was featureless.
An advance of 12c In lard for the day
was the feature or the provision trade. The
demand was remarkable from flrst to last,
and the, offerings light. While pork and
ribs were a little active and higher, the ad
vance was not in keeping with lard, nsnally
the slowest thing on tbe list. The receipts
Of hogs were light, which may have encour
aged the buyers for the long account and
caused tome haying also for shorts.
