Xrw Tobk, Oct. 20. The stock market
displayed greater strength to-day than ex
pected in view of the protracted holiday,
the Stock Exchange having resolved to
keep closed nntil Alonday morning next.
The early trading aSordecLjndications that
the bears intended it possible to use the ap
proaching holiday as a pretext for a reac
tion. New England was sold with consid
erable freedom down to 43, a decline of
nearly a point from last night's closing. A
lew other stocks were also raided, but frac
tional declines resulted im bringing in large
buying orders for the railroad as well as the
Industrial shares and a general advance fol
lowed. '
Speculation in the railway list was stimu
lated by advices of a heavy freight and pas
senger traffic over the Western lines. "Big
Fou." advauced2 and others Jto 1 per ceut,
the prices attained boing the best for some
time. Heading, hich lias been hefivy lor
some days, started on the up track nnd ad
vanced over a point, but lost balf the im
provement before the close. Northern
Pacific preferred advanced a little over a
voint and beld firm to a close at about SO.

M'DOXALD DROPPING. .
Its Production Below 30,000 Barrels The
People's Gas Company looses the Big at
Their Mc3Iurray Well, Near Greggs
A Conple of Big Wells at Slstersville.
The estimated production of the McDon
ald field has again fallen below 20,0 JO bar
rels a day. It was given out yesterday as
"being 19,500 barrels. There is still only
one well on the list, making 20 barrels an
hour.
The rig at the People's Gas Company's
Xo. 156, on the McMurray farm, located
between Oakdale and Gregg station, wan
burned yesterday. The origin of the fire
was rather peculiar. They engaged in shoot
ing the' well. A shot had been
?ut in, bnt the go-devil failed to explode it.
he shooter then dropped a squib, and' just
as ho did so the w ell made allow, thioning
the lighted squtb up into the derrick, where
it exploded and ignited the rig. The burn
ing well is only a short distance from the
Forest Oil Company's Na 2 Gregg, and it
nas only hv the hardest kind of work that
it was saved. It is the first accident of the
kind that has happened in the field. -'
The Forest Oil Company's No. 6 on the
Clever farm in the nortueastern put of the
McCnrdv field reached the fifth Sand yester
day morning and made a 25-barrel flow. It
was drilled lor gas in the lourth sand, but
as it was a failure in that formation they
nut it on down to tbe fifth sand. This is the
'first oil that has been struck in theUfrh
sand in this part of the field. The well is
located about tliree-quartersofauiile south
west of 'the wells on the McCoy farm, and
there are some fifth sand gassers between
them.
Greenlee A Foist are down 1,200 feet in
their Na 3 Kirk, located in tne lleise Gm
don sand pool. Knox. Bros. & Co. are di ill
in,i at 1,500 teet in their No. 2 on the Scott
larm, tn o miles southwest of McDonald. -
The Forest Oil Company is smidding In its

they are building a rig for No. 3.

well on the Gardner farm, in the Garvin
pool, southwest of this place, and it made a
20-harreI flow. They have a rig up on the
Knauff farm, 2,500 leet northwest .of tbe
Gardner.
TJMJEBOLirr S. D. Hobison expects to
reach the 30 foot band to-day on tbe Miller
farm. It is located three-quarters of a mile
west of Patterson & Sohn's 30-foot well on
the Ecssler farm. If it is dry in the SO-foot
he will drill it to the fit tit sand.
Two Good Slstersville Wells.
Sistetsvjlix A couple of good wells were
d tilled into the sand in this field esterday.
The Kanawha OH Company's No 3 Ludolph
was reported at the office of the eompany to
bo good for 600 barrels a day. It is in the
center, of developed territory on the Ohio
side.
Jennings & Grace's well on the southern
end of Williamon's Island was ropoted to
be cuod lor 300 barrels a day. It is two
miles above Slstersville.

Flour In the Northwest.
MijrsEAroLis, Mnnr., Oct. 20. The Xorth
witern 2tller says: The mills did not get
out quite as much flour last week as In the
week before, partly on account of a loss of
time by one of them from a. break down.
Tho amount or flour made was 221,970 bar-'
rels, averaging 3B.935 barrels dally. Only the
previous week's run has has ever exceeded
that of last week. For the corresponding
week a year atro the output was J W. 600 'bar
rels, and in 1890, 155;730 barrels. This week
the safne 20 mills are going, and if no acci
dents happen they are quite likely to agalri
nverage 38,000 barrels per 24 hours. While
millers complain of the flour market as
lacking any vim or liveliness, they seem to
be sellliiK abont as much as is being ground
from week to week.

LOCAL AHD QEKBEAL FIXAN CIAL KBWS
Thubsdat, Oct. 2a
A sort of a holiday smrit pervaded "the
street" to-day,being especially noticeable in J
the brokers' offices and on 'Change. It was
reflected In various ways, though mainly
in-very moderate trading and a disposition
td'sell rather ttian to bny. This disposition
became more marked when the Exchange
voted to adjourn at 3p.il until 10 A. M.
next Monday," but nothing suffered save
Philadelphia Ctwpanr, which declined a
fraction and closed looking rather weak.
There were no other particularly wealt
spots, however, and In a general way the
market was steady to firm, though quiet,
with Pleasant Valley, Switch and Signal,

A Buglo Blast for Seattle.
William H. Llowellyn, Vice President or
tbe Llewellyn Mortgage and Trust Company
of Seattle," Wash., was encountered in the
office of George B. Hill & Co. this afternoon,
and talked to The Dispatch as follows:
. "There are those who have "been pleased
to compare Seattle to Chicago, and have
prophesied for it a similar lemarkablo
growth. It can truthfully be raid that
Seattle possesses the same irresistible condi
tions that have made New York, Chicagoand
Pittsburg what they are. It has a record for
enterprise which, 1 believe, has never been
equn'ed in tile history ot the United States.
In 1880 the population was 3,500, in 1890 45,00(1,
andnt the present time it Is about 70 000,
which places her second only to ban Fran
cisco on the Pacific coast. Seattle is located
on Elliot hay, a branch of the Pacific ocean,
and is tbe "hub" of the great commercial
wheel of Puget Sound basin, which has a
shore line or about 2,000 miles.. It is nearly
sui rounded by water, having several large
fresh water lakes back or it.- In 'June, 1890,
a lev days after your irightful calamity in
Johnstown, the cily suffered a loss by fire
of nearly $20,000,000, all of her business build
ings and stocks of goods being consumed. 1
since that time e have unlit approxlmatcly
$20,000,000 worth or buildings, about 80 miles
of'street railway,-and have Dobght about
$50,000,000 worth or real estate.
"Xoitsiailroad and shipping auxiliaries
are due the remarkable developments of
the State. The commerce,especially of Puget
Sound, U expanding rapidly. The great
outside trade is through Puget Sound. Hore
come tho teas ot Cnina and Japan; the
cement, lion, fire brick and manufactured
goods of Great Britaiu; the coffee, rice,
spices,, sugar, etc, ot Hawaii, Brazil,
juuniuu, iOiitriu America anu ocner ioreign
couutries. From here go lumber, wheat,
flsh, etc., to the vitlue of ahout $14,000,000 per
annum. Five t-ea-going vessels per day, 150
per month, 1,800 per year, averaging 1,000
tons each, go tiom Puget Sound points and
coast points bejond the Stato limits, and as
many vessels enter the Sound. . '
-Tne amount or shipping in American bot
toms is greater fioin Puget Sound than from
any port in the Union except New York,
beattle can boast ot one feature not pos
sessed by any city In the world, and which
demonstrates the intelligence and foresight
of its people, uiul betokens their laith in its
futuio greatness. By an ordinance, whijli
has been duly tested in the courts of the
State, the city lias set apart a portion of the
entire water front of the city as a right of
way for railways, which shall be free
and uninteirupiedto any and all which
have now or may hereafter enter the city.
So commeice finds in Seattle a condition
Involving less cost of irefgbt handling and
closor connections by rail and water than
can lie found in any other seaport in tbe
world. This right of way is calleu the Great
Bail way Avenue or the city of Seattle. This
liberal policy toward railroads has ben
wainily received, and the interest which
has been taken in Seattle by the various
transcontinental Hues shows an Intention
to avail themselves to the greatest extent
of the phenomenal privileges accorded
them.
"Puget Sound produced and shipped last
yeir ahout 800,000,000 leet of lumber, about
$6,000,000,000 uortn or flsh, and an equal
amount of coal. King county, of wrrich
Seattle is the county seat, contains large
deposit or superior coking coal, large ledges
or limestone and mountains or iron, all
within easy reach or Seattle and the sea
board. The Pacific coast consumes annually
about 200,000 lous of iron of all classes. Pig
iron sells in Seattle for $28 to $32 a ton. We
need blast furnaces badly."
. Paid Too High Prices.
British investors have had occasion to ex
press much dissatisfaction with their invest
ments in Ameiican breweries three or four
years ago. The London Mattel has this to
say upon the subject: ''The English direct
ors of some American breweries are now dis
.posed to regard the disastrous state of their
affairs as tho lesnlt chiefly of-bad manage
ment in America. ' It is to be noted, how
ever, that in most cases this is the . same
management which, before the breweries
were sold to English companies, had, ac
according to tho prospectuses, made (hem
highly prosperous, and that, in soma in
stances, tbe English diroctois, after visits
to America, have expressed full approval of
tbe management which is now strongly con
demned. TJicro may have been mismanage
ment, but tbe great mistake, as we have
constantly pointed out, was that twice or
three times their value was paid for most of
tbe breweries, and the difficulties which
were almost cettaln to arise in carrying
them on by Britlsu companies were reso
lutely ignored." How are investors in some
or tbe many "-Industrials," which have been
floated in the same way, likely to fare?

"Under the head or 'Financial Notes' in your

ing that this company has, by action or its

In
Shaler Township Brine 840,000 Ira
Burchfleld Bays the Tract From Hugh
- Miller-Other Big Deals Closed and
Under Way Gossip and Sales,
, Thubsdat, Oct. 20.
One of the important sales mentioned in
this column a few days since as being near
the point of settlement was consummated
to-day. Ira M. Burchficld purchased from
Hugh Miller a tract of land containing 85
acres, situated in Shaler township, adistance
of seven miles 'from Allegheny City, on the
Pittsburg and Western Bnilioad, for $40,000.
The prooerty adjoins the Johnson tract and
the Butler plank road runs diroctly through
the center of tbe land a distance or over
3,u00 feet.
Tbe price paid ror tbe property is con
sidered very reasonable, as it is but two
miles from Sharpsburg, and with tbe com
pletion or tho contemnlated extension of
tho electric line tnlther realtv thereabouts
will undoubtedly enhance somewhat in
value. 0

TALES LIES A SEAL BRITISHER.
The Canadian Goldwin Smith Attacks Glad
stone in a Newspaper Article.
LONDON, Oct. 20. Prof. Goldwin Smith
has written a letter, which is published in
the Times to-day, commenting on Mr. Glad
stone's recent article on home rule in the
North American Rxiew. Pro Smith savs
that among educated Americans the tradi
tional hatred of England is dead. Among
the masses it is dying out, bat what remains
is kept alive by newspapers, stimulated by
protectionists in their own interests.
Hatred of everything English is effected in
American politics for the sake of the Irish
vote. Prof. Smith says:
I have yet to see the American who really
cares for the Irish cause or who clearly un
derstands the meaning of home rulo. Amer
ica's pretended love ror Sir. Gladstone Is
nothing bnt hatred or England. Americans
cannot help in their hearts spurning ths
Englishman who, while holding Great
Britain's highest trust, stabs her character
in a foreign press.
