THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, THURSDAT, NCTVTEMBER 10, 1892.
THE TRUSTS DECLINE
As One of the Eesults of the Election
and So Do the Trunk Lines.
SLIGHT RALLIES AT THE CLOSE.
Professionals Disposed to Sell on the Change
in the Administration.
KAItiTCAT BONDS RULE FAIRLY STEADY
Xkw Yonrc, Xov. 9. There was less ex
citement at the Stock Exchange following
the result of the election than had been
generally expected. The transactions
footed up a total that is by no means above
the average under ordinary circumstances.
The professional element was disposed to
sell stocks on the change in the adminis
tration and devoted special attention to the
trusts. These stocks rallied at intervals
during the day, but invariably started a
fresh selling movement until near the close,
when leading operators put in sufficient
buying orders to bring about a substan
tial recovery. American Sugar opened
2 points under Monday's closing price
at 1C0JX, rallied to 11( dropped to 10SJ anil
closed at a recovery of 1 per cent from the
Ion est. Distilling and Cattle Feeding fell off
IK to 66Ji and later sold at . American
Cotton Oil broke 2 to 45 and rallied a point.
The eastern and western trunk line shares
j ielded only J to l'i per cent and the pres
sure or sales was chiefly for the snort ac
count. Duiing the afternoon there was a
recover' of J to Ji per cent and the market
closed firm in tone.
Kailwav bonds were steady. The sales
weie $l,O02,OJ0. The changes either way as
a rule, wore slight.
Tlio Evening Post says in Its financial
column: Xo public pledge or public lecord
would have restrained the Republican can
didate from signing a second and radical
silver measure. Or tlie Democratic President-elect,
picclsely the reverse Is true.
Distrust of free coinage legislation, if any
existed, ought, therefore, logically, to have
fixed itselt on the administration now in
pow er. 1 hese facts will Dear their own fruit
in the stock market; if not at once, then
luieron. The chances are, as every obser
vant oDerator knows, that barring unex
pected iies,tho deeper a trader venture in
the present bear movement against prices,
the higher he will have to "climb" to get his
short stock back.
Government bonds closed as follows:

CHICAGO 'CHANGE.
Cereals Excited and Higher nog Products
Fail to Hold Gains,
Chicago, Nov. 9. To-day's market was ex
cited and higher, especially for wheat and
corn. The enforced closing or a portion of
a short line of corn and oats lor account of
D. E. Sibley had much to do w ith the excite
ment. The operator in question is Ions in
New York against as much as he is short in
Cliicaco, but he was called here for more
margins than he could Immediately respond
to and some of them with whom ho had the
deals closed bis trades, ?ltliou;h his re
sources in property are said to be ample and
his integritr undoubted. Wheat closed Jc
hieher and corn Jc higher. Provisions,
after an early bulge, showed bnt little
change at the close since Monday.
Wheat at the opening was a shade under
Monday's closing figures, first prices show
iae about Jc decline; then It became
stronger and prices were advanced V.iQlVo
per bushel, eased off about z und
closed.
In corn. Initial trades were at Monday's
final figures nnd on goodbuylnsby the local
bull contingent advanced ith little reaction
a lull lc. when many longs weie disuosed to
take profits and prices receded c, but
rallied soon afterward Jgc. declined lie,
changed some and closed s.oady.
Opening sales of oats were at Monday's
clo.e and prices advanced a for December
and Jc for May. receded slightly and closed
with Hsain ot c.
Hos receipts continued small and every
thing started higher than Monday's closin"
prices and advanced still higher in the
couiseof the session, but toward the cloe
on lew realizing sales by the clique the
pi ice worJced off, losing more than had pre
viously been gained.

GOSSIP FBOJt WALL STEEET ORACLES
Wednesday, Nov. 9.
The tone of speculation on the Chicago
Board of Trade to-day was bullish, particu
larly with respect to wheat; hut on the
New York Stock Exchange an apparently
bearish temper developed, especially in the
trusts. "The action of the market in the
final proceedings," however, says the regu
lar Wall street special to Sproul & Co.,
"was far from being distasteful to the bulla.
Surprise and dismay at the political change
of the country were natural, but it would ap
pear that the short selling on such factors
exceeded by far the real liquidation which
seemed likely in the morning. The pools
and cliques in Biich stocks as Chicago Gas
were not slow to act upon this lead and ap
parently encourage the formation of a short
interest only to twist it in the end." In
sizing up the post election situation the cor
respondents of Oakley & Co. say: "Although
the bulls had confidently predicted that
London would buy stocks in the event of
tho election of the Democratic candidate
for President, still orders from abroad were
found wanting, though It must have been
known in London that. Mr. Cleveland was
elected by a much larger majority than
even the most sanguine Demociats had
hoped for. The sweeping victory of tho
Democrats shows conclusively that the
country is not satisf ed with the McKinley
bill, and that the change which Mr. Cleve
land has pledged himself to bring about
must be adhered to when be assumes con
trol of the Government. The present busi
ness of this country is shaped according to
the present law, and, as dickering with the
tatiffis inevitable, it will, no doubt, retard
new ventures and have some elfect in cur
tailing trades and diminishing business. It
is also known that tho Democratic
polioy is adverse to trusts and mo
no olies, and as these have all con
tributed to the Republicans they noed not
seek any lavorsfrom the Demociats. The
maiket 'looks to us as though a rally was
going to be engineered to-morrow, but we
advise our friends to sell their stocks on
rallies, as we look for lowor prices in the
future." If tho people identified with the
various trusts really believe they have any
thing to fear from a Democratic administra
tion, it would seem as if their policy In the
future would be one of more masterly mani
festation than has yet been witnessed, with
the obiect of leaving the nubile with the
stocks and the experience and themselves
with the money.
On the Local Board.
The market for local securities to-day
was about as dead as the provoroial door
nail. The brokers, particulaily those who
were unfortunate in getting on the wrong
side of tho betting, took no interest in the
proceedings on 'Change, and this apathy
justified the assumption that politics still
had the call with the public There was no
demand for anything until after the last
call, when a stiong inquiry for Pittsburg
and Birmingham traction developed which
lesulted in a few small transactions at 24
U, the latter price being bid formoie wlm
out success. At the first call an odd lot of
Airbrake sold nt 134: at the second no
transactions occurred, and at the third
$2,000 Philadelphia Company bonds sold at
par and interest and 20 shares Union Switch
and Signal common at 1 the bond sale
being the first of the kind ever recorded on
the Exchange sales beard. ,
Philadelphia company was quoted at 21
1l)4, hut it weakened a little alter the close
on indefinite reports regarding a shortage of
gas in the business portion of the city. To
offset this, however, there was a report that
the company had Just brought in a big gasser
near Veiona, but it was without effect.
Wheeling Gas was weaker at 18 asked, bnt
People's Pipeage was strong at Monday's
closing quotations.
Snitch and Signal was firm. Citizens' and
P., A. & M. traction were weak, and others
of the regular list were unchanged. Electric
second preioricd was quoted at 3SQ39.
Unlisted street railway securities closed as
follows: V. & B. traction, 2124L P., A. &
M. traction, 40K13: do 5s, 102 bid; l)u
quesne traction, 2SUSJ.
Pittsburg Virginia railroad scrip was
quoted at 90 bid, and $7,000 Wavnesburg
Water Company 6s were offered at 101.
The Monetary Conference.
Tbo membership of the International Mon
etary Conference, which will meet in Brus
sels on November 22, has been completed by
the appointment by Germany of Count von
Alvensleben, German Minister to Belgium:
Dr. von Qlasenan. oi the Imperial Treasury
Department, and lierr Hurtling, Director of
the Relcbsbank. Late London advices say
that it is evident that the advocates of
the single standard are in the majority, and
that England, Germany, Austria and Bel
gium will send delegations having a pre
ponderance of momimetallists, yet the
growing belief in London financial cir
cles is that the conference will effect
some arrangement. The talk formerly
indulged in about the futility of the con
gress is no lpnger heard. The President
of the Institute of Bankers, in his inaug
ural address, referred to the currency
question as urgently demanding a reason
ahle settlement. The duty of the Govern
ment, he said, to find a practical remedy for
existing difficulties, co'ild never be mot by
theoretic discussion. In the multitude of
counsellors there is wisdom, and the confer
ence promises to prove the entering wedge
to an enlarged use of silver, if not to the
ultimate restoration of bimetallism.

THREE NEW OIL WELLS.
They Are All Located in the McDonald
District Knox Bros. Get a 100-Barreler
From tho Gordon on the Scott Farm
Excitement In Indiana.
There was one well drilled in at McDon
ald yesterday, but the estimated produc
tion of the field was not changed from 18,
000 barrels. The Marshall No. 6, of the
Tidal Oil Company, was dropped from the
list ot those making 20 barrels an hour or
more, and consequently there were no wells
reported in the list yesterday.
Greenlee & Forst's No. 3, on the Kirk
farm, in the Meise pool, one mile south of
Willow Grovo, wns finished np yesterday,
and is good foy300 barrels a day irom the
Gordon sand, it is one of the last wells
drilling in this district.
In the northeastern part ot the McCurdy
field, or rather in the old Crafton district,
Stewart, Robison & Cd.'s No. 1, on the Ar
buckle farm, was reported to be flowing
on the giound from, the fourth sand, and
showing for a good well.
Knox Bros. & Co. were reported to
have struck a big well late last evening on
the Scott farm, two miles southwest of Mc
Donald, but tho report could not be verified.
A later report from it, however, was to the
effect that It would make 100 barrels a day
from the Gordon sand.
The Philadelphia Company was drilling in
the fifth sand yesterday afternoon at its No.
6 on the Clever farm, but no oil was in sight.
Drilling In the Thirty-Foot,
Undercliff Meicer & McCIurg were drill
ing in tho 30-foot sand on the Miller farm
yesterday with a fair showing of oil.
Patterson & Co. are In the top of the 30

are In the same formation at their well on
the Herman farm.
Their Rnsh farm well is good for 50 barrels
a day from the 100-foot sand.
Reported Mrike in Indiana.
The greatest excitement that has ever
been known in tho Indiana oil fields exists
at Portland, Ind. A well drilled on the
Drissel farm was torpedoed and a solid
stream of oil shot into the air ICO feet above
the derrick. The well is flowing 2,000 bar
rels a day. It belongs to Gibson & Giles, of
Pittsburg. Oil men from nil over the terri

THE MESQTJITE IS VALUABLE.
The BIucli Despised Plant Is Ono
of
Mexico's Best Productions.
The despised mesquite is one of the most
valuable productions of New Mexico. The
plant is very peculiar, producing singularly
crooked stems, which abound in spines, and
when in a thicket of anv size render it im
possible to penetrate, says a writer in the
St. Louis Globe Democrat. ,
The root, however, is of more importance
than the stem. Where ground is burned
over everv vear or so the mesquite tops are
burned off, but the roots remain, constantly
increasing in size, so that the ground under
a clump of bushes, the largest of which is
not thicker' than one's little finger, there
may be taken roots as thick as a man's leg.
These roots make a fire as hot as that from
anthracite coal, and in some of the silver
mines of New Mexico and Chihuahua the
smelting is done entirely with mesquite. It
is impossible to kill the plants, and horses
and cattle eat the pods with the greatest
aVidity. ,
Tholndians and Mexicans seem to like the
pods and beans, but, to most persons the
sweet taste is disagreeable, though instances
have been known of the lives of lost men
being supported by this food for many days.
INCREASING ACTIVITY
In Realty Oat tho Perrysville Road as a
Result of the Contemplated Improve
ments In That District Gossip, Permits
fc and Late Transactions.
"Wednesdat, Nov. 9.
As a result of the contemplated improve
ments in the Perrysville avenue district,
such as the new boulevard, the park and
the many fine residences which will be
erected by some of Allegheny's prominent
and wealthy citizens along the boulevard,
realty in this section has become quite ac
tive, an illustration of this fact being found
in the sale of the property fronting on that
portion of the avenue known as "Horseshoe
Bend"by Henry Wilt to J. a Alles, which
piece contains eight acres, for a price ap
proximating $5,200 or $650 per acre. A piece
of unimproved property situated a few
miles north ot the proposed park has also
been purchased for $12,000.
Notes of Gossip.
A tract of land containing 183 acres, ad
Jolning Millvalc, will likely change hands
on Monday next, and possibly before that
day. The price asked by the owners, and
whioli will very likely be paid, is $200,000.
The intending purchasers are Eastern capi
talists. The new land company called the Cres
cent Land ana Improvement Company,
has been organized and a charter has
been applied for. One of the gentlemen in
terested in the new company is J. E. Glass,
the real estate brokor.
Now that the election is over a few days'
time will undoubtedly bring to the surface
some very Important deals in realty, which
have heretofore been in such a sIiudo as
would not warrant publication.

A STRONG SITUATION
In
a Mercantile Way, but Trade at the
Moment Is Quiet An Active Demand
Expected as Soon as the Excitement
Over the Election Subsides.
Wednesday, Nov. 9.
Trade is quiet at the moment, but there
is an undercurrent of strength to the Situa
tion and the demand is expected to pick up
aiter the excitement attendant upon the
elsction has passed away. The recent rains
have greatly benefited the winter wheat
now in the ground, and the farmers are in
better spirits. Corn husking and cribbing
are well advanced, and the supply is boun
tiful in the corn belt At the present time
prices ior wheat, corn and other grains are
unusually low, owing to the recent heavy
receipts and the crowded condition of ware
houses everywhere.
A gentleman who has recently made a
tour through the potato producing sections
of Michigan and Wisconsin says: "I found
the producers there paying as high as So
per bushel for picking up potatoes, and
pickers so scarce that men, women and
cunurcn aiute were presseu into sue service.
Potato buyers from all parts of the country
were there competing for tho product. The
natural result, of course, was to make prices
higher. At one hotel where I stopped I
found representatives from over twenty
States they were all there after potatoes.
The first freeze In that country will causo a
suspension of business until spring."
Owing to the general strike In New Or
leans orders recently placed in that market
for molasses, syrups, rice, sugar, etc., on
Pittsburg's account cannot be filled. Busi
ness there la simply paralyzed.
We have advanced our quotations on
creamery butter to correspond with the ad
vance established in Elgin Monday. The
market is quoted very strong at the higher
range.
A better and higher poultry market is
looked lor In the near mture.
Sugar is roportedli little firmerat primary
points and coffee continues strong, but oth
erwise the grocery situation is unchanged.

New York, Nov. 9. Hubbard, Price 4 Co.
say: The Liverpool market yesterday ad.
vanced 6-64 to 7-61 and to-day scored a
further improvement of 3-64, dne undoubt
edly to a growing belief that the lockout
would be of short duration. The New York?
market opened steady at 12 points advance,
rumors of a decline in Liverpool being cur
rent, and, although the rumor was con
firmed, all the long cotton offered was
quickly absorbed and prices advanced soma
a points further. During the afternoon the
liquidation of long cotton continued, caus
ing a slight reaction, but the market closed
steady at nearly the best prices of the day.
The market now awaits the Bnreau reDOrt
to-morrow. It will undoubtedly show a
very large decrease in the yield of lint cot.
ton, but for the last three years Its concln.
slon has been largely under the ultimata
outturn. A higher market la expected to
morrow by the trade.
