.KSflRNT PIPE LINE
Expects to Be Piping Oil to Marcus
Book Within Three Weeks.
LOCATIONS OF POMP STATIONS.
One Good TVell TVas I'eTeloped lesterday
East of Oakdale.
DRY TVELLS IS ARODKD MILLTOWS
The Crescent Pipe Line is rapidly near
ins completion. "W. L. Mellon is the
financial backer of the enterprise, and by
the 1st of November he expects to be pump
ing oil from the McDonald field to Marcus
Hook, on the Delaware river, 15 miles De
low Philadelphia.
For some time they hare been engaged
in loading vessels at Marcus Hook bound
for foreign ports.
As they are at present situated they are
pumping oil to Hays Grove, on the Phila
delphia and Heading Kailroad, 30 miles
south of Harrisburg, from whence it is
shipped in tank cars, of which the Crescent
line owns 250, to Marcus Hook. To-day
they expect to have their line laid across
the Susquehanna river at Marietta.
This is about 40 miles from Harrisburg.and at
this Domt the liver is over li meters wide
and very deep. A great deal of trouble has
been experienced at this point, as the par
lies living in that vicinity who first took tho
contract were unablo to fulfill it. The
Ciescent line managers then called upon
the Hulings Bros., of Pittsburg, who have at
last succeeded in retting the pine line laid
act oss the river.
From this, point to Marcus Hook is about
75 miles and over hair of that distance the
pipe has been screwed together.
Unless they nave exceptionally bad luck
the managers arc confident of being aDlo to
jump to the seaboard by Xovember 1.
location of the ramp Stations.
There will be four pump stations on the
line. They will average 42 miles apart.
The first is at Hays station, on tho Panhandle
Jlailroad, in the McDonald field.
After that the next one will be at Llgonicr.
Then one has been placed at Inglcslde, near
Johnstown.
The last one west ot the Susquehannu
river is at Hays Grove, near Shlppensburg,
wmch is Horn SO to 40 miles below Harris
burs. Tho only one between the Susquehanna
and JIaicus Hook will be at Florinal, which
is situated in tho environs of Lancaster.
At each of these stations the company lias
constructed two tanks, each of 5,000 barrels
capacity. Down at Marcus Hook they have
four tanks, each of 33,000 bairels capacity,
one of 10.000 ban els. one of 10,000 barrel, and
they are now building a couple of tanks
each or which will hold 18,000 barrels of
petroleum.
Yesterday they loaded the Spanish steamer
Kasheck at Marcus Hook and to-day they
ure loading the Ficnch steamer Tancarvllle.
Lach ol these has a capacity of 1,200,000 gal
lons, or about 23,570 barrels of oil.
The Ciescent Pipe Line Company has
bougLt JG0 acres on the water front at
Marcus Hook, and has built piers out into
the liver, where they have 24 teet of water
at low tide. Tliev nave iaciimes ior loaain:;
23,000 barrels an "hour onto the shins which
aieat the docks.
This month they will load the Allegheny,
the Wildflower. the Einar and one other
steamer with a cargo of oil for foreign ports.
Their combined cargoes will aggregate
about 150.000 barrels.
Tliej "Will Not Cat Trices.
A gentleman who is conversant with the
plans of W. L. Mellon & Co., when asked
yesterday if they would reduce tho storage
rates to 15 or 10 cents per thousand barrels',
said: "Ion can rest assured that Mr. Mellon
will never go below 25 cents a thousand
Jor storage rates. He is not in the business
to cut anj one's throat, and is simply going
to make as much out of his in vestment as
lie possibly can by every honorable means.
"He is not going to cut prices unnecesariIy
for any one Ho considers it a good busi
ness investment and one m which there is a
wide field for all comers."
Ex-State senator J. W.Lee aid last even
ing that the Producers' and ltefincrs' Com
y.any had from 35 to 10 miles of Its line laid
from the McDonald field to Titusvllle, and
that the United States Fipe Line Company
liad sturted to construct its line. They have
been delayed recently by the difficulty in
getting pipe deliveicd, but they hope to
have the line completed early iiext.spilng.
Big "Well East of Oakdalc.
The most important development in tho
McDonald field jestciday was the Forest Oil
Company's No. 4 on the McClelland heirs'
property, east of Oakdalc It was making
SO barrels an hour last tvening.
This w ell only confirms tho results brought
out by the Forest Oil Company's Xo. 2 on the
Gregg farm, and leads to the belief that there
is a nice little pool along the Pauhandle east
of Oakdale.
The Xo. 6 Marshall, of Gieenlco A Forst,
was shot and is doing S3 bands an hour.

John M. Artois, of P.ukers, was in Pitts
burgh ycsteidny. He is here on business re
lating to an Eiie county gas pool, and he be
lieves that he has struck tho right place to
develop some good gas wells, and open up a
big lotof teriitory.

CHICAGO CHANGE.

at the corresponding time yesterday. Corn

3iav, but Jc lower tor Xovember and Do-
ccmbor. Pi ovisions ruled firm and closed
6c higher Tor poik.about unchanged for ribs,
but a little lower lor lard. .
There were some good buying orders at the
start in wheat, partly to cover- shorts and
partly for investment, tho foellng 'coming
to be quite general that after such a break
- as yesterday some recovery could reason
ably be looked lor. The advices Irom Great
Britain that tho wheat crop In the United
Kingdom was 20,000,000 bushels less than
last year and of a very poor quality, and
that tho countrv would have to Import
16,000,000 this year, also helped to givo the
market firmness, llut the l eport that there
had been good showers in many sections of
the winter wheat belt and that indications
were for a general rainfall, together with
the decided weakness in corn, soon nnder
mined the firmness and tho price went off
to yesterday's low point, but attorward im
proved. If there was any disposition yes
terday to criticise the Government crop re
port on wheat or claim that It had exagger
ated the crop it was pretty efficiently set at
rest by the fact that the various State re
ports as they come In intimate their crop
decidedly larger than given In. the Govern
ment report.
The strength lato In the session was
caused. It was claimed, by tho report that
tho weight per bushel of wheat will be
lighter than last year, and that by figuring
commercial bushels tho viold would he
much smaller than the figures recently
given out would indicate. Besides, cablos
did not decline as much as expected, con
sidering the breaks in tho American mar
kots. The opening was about e higher than
yesterday's closing, ruled weaker and prices
declined &Hc, a-zaln became steadier,
prices advancing a and closing easyK
irom the top.
Corn was very weak a good part of the ses
sion on free selling, fine weather and pros
ectsof heavy interior deliveries. Later,
ion ever, tbeie was a rally largely due to
the free covering bv shorts on the decline
and tho smaller anticipated rece'ots for to
morrow. Price changes were limited to W
1c range. Receivers were sellers at the start,
many claiming they were unable to obtain
one-quarter enough cars at the present
time.
Oats opened steadv, but as other grains
were weaker, oats sympathized, and. with
liberal selling, prices receded K?s- O.11
the decline there was tood bujimr, and,
other grains showing more strength, prices
advanced Kc.
The provision market was firmer at tiie
opening and was generally maintained
throughout the dav nt an improvement
upon yesterday's closing prices. Prices had
their obbs and flows, but on the whole the
market was firm. January pork was the
article principally traded in. The feature
was the taking by Wright on the call of all
the offerings, ills putcbases were about
S.000 barrels.
1 litre was a good demand for vessel room,
but the offerings wero light. Bates to
Buffalo held steady at 2Jc for wheat and
2fc for corn.

STOCKS RATHER WEAK
A Decline in' P. & B. Traction Follows
the Company's Ainual Report.
STREET RAILWAYS ALL SOFT.
Only Two or Three Eeally Strong Points in
the List.
LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS
"Wednesday, Oct 12.
Pittsburg and Birmingham traction fell
"ofl somewhat to-day as one of the results of
the day s operations on the local stock
board, and the decline, which was only
fractional, was generally accepted as mean
ing that the statement of the company's
operations of the past fiscal year was not
very favorably received. The showing of
the first quarter of the new fiscal year,
twhich was rather bullish on paper, was ex
plained to-day by the assertion that
maintenance charges were light in conse
quence of the new motors, etc., in
use; and this assertion, together with the
statement that such charges would material
ly increase during the ensuing quarters,
tended to rob it of its bullishness. On the
whole, however. It must be said that the
sentiment on the stock is not particularly
bearish, and that something of a disposition
is shown to support it at about current
prices.
The other changes In the list, with ono or
two exceptions, wcie also slight losses,
which wero sustained by Dnquesne trac
tion, Citizens traction. Pleasant Val
ley railway, Philadelphia Company
and United States Glass common.
The most notable exception was Alle
gheny Ileatlng Company, which advanced
to 79 bid on the announcement
in these columns of the legular and special
dividends, making 5 per cent for the quar
ter. Peoples Plpeage was also stronger on
the intimation that the checks for the reg
ular dividend would Lo accompanied by
checks for a special. Union Switch and
Signal was another strong point, though its
strength did not develop until after the
close. It held at 1S during the calls, but
after tho last boaid It was bid up to 1
with none offered under 19.
The increased Intel est which has de
veloped in bank shales of late was
maintained, but no tiausactions result
ed. Third National Bank of Pittsburg
advanced to 129 bid, and Enterprise Savings
Bank or Allegheny to 7S bid.
United States Glass preened maintained
its position, and Uudergiound Cable and
Airbrake held their own, but Electric was a
little loss firm, especially the second pre
ferred, which closed at 3SJ.J asked, against S9
nsked during the early part ot tho day.
Others were featureless.
Mot ements of the Market.

The Oil Market Still Alive.
A story was current on Fourth avenue to
day to the effect that cei lain oil produceis
who niado inquiries at the office of the Na
tional Transit Company were told that there
was no market for oil, meaning, presumably,
that the Exchange mat ket had joined the
silent majority. At the same time sales
were at 52c on 'change and 51c was bid for
more The Producers Oil Company was
also doing Dusiness and any producer having
oil in bis lines could have sold bis bal
ances at 51c. Theso facts piove thero was
a market, and in their light tne statements
of the National Transit people cannot be
construed as meaning anything but an at
tempt to belittle and discourage exchange
operations. They also servo to throw dis
credit on the recent stories that the Stand
ard was about to lend its aid to effurts to
levive interest in- certificate speculation.
Western Union's Meeting.
The annual meeting or stockholders of the
T estern Union Telegraph Company was
held at noon to-day at the company's

Treasurer W. Howard Glider, of tho Tole
do, St. Louis and Kansas City road, says:
"Should the stockholders approve the con
templated issue or $1J,5JO,OOJ consolidated
flist mortgage 4J ucr cent 60 year gold
bonds, tbelixed ennrges will bo increased
$.67,500, but the net irniu to the company at

M. M. Jamelson says: "I look for hlgber
prices for the street railways, and tho in
dustrials will probably sell much higher.
People arc becoming moie accustomed to
buying street railway and industrial stocks
generally, and the tendency is to buy them
instead ot railroad shales, which arc sold at
much higher prices in most cases. The in
dustrials on the Xew Yoik Stock Exchange
arc coming to the front, and are advancing
on the big buying. People hete are not yet
accustomed to buying thu industrials to
tlie'extont that Is done in New York, but
tney are gradually comihg aiound to it."
P. A. B. Widener, In a long conversation
the other day, predicted that Chicago Gas
would go to J5J. Tho spoedy Introduction
of natural gas would, he said, not only
greatly Increase tho lovenuos of the com
pany, but would make its position as to
competition impregnable. He piedicted
that West Chicago struct railway stock
w ould sell at 300 and remain at that figure.
According to the Joutnalof P.tumee the
Beading will have a surplus of $3,623,925 for
the present year, even though the mouths of
September, October nnd November should
make no increase in net earnings over the
samo months of last yean 'Yet enough is al
ready known about September to guarantee
a substantial increase tor that month. 1 n o
mi Hon nine handled thousand dollars will
will pay full 5 per cent interest upon all out
standing lnco,. e bonds including first, sec
ond and third preference 6s therefore there
must be a 'surplus ol $700,000 over that sum
that will be applicable to dividend purposes
a sum that will be made greater by the lu
ri eased net results obtained for September,
October and November.
The Daily Iiv:sttgalor says the dlvldendon
Pennsylvania to be declared when the Ol.
rectors return from their Inspection trJp
will not be less than 3 per cent. There is no
probability or any scrip dividend.
Mr. Reginald II. Ward, or tho well known
Boston-New York banking bouse or Clark,
Ward & Co., savs : "The shares of the Wost
inghouso Electric Company appear cheap,
In view of the excellent showing made by
the comnany, nnd the tact that this com
pany anil the General "Electric control tho
immense eleotrlcal industry which Is show
ing such marvelous expansion. The pios
peiityofthe one company is undoubtedly
shared to a great extent by the other.
Should these two companies come totrethcr
at any time or to a certain extent unite their
Dusiness it would result in a vast increase in
the not earnings of both, besides placing the
control under one management, which
wonld necessarily be most advantageous to
both."
