A SUCCESSFUL RAID

BEADING 1KD CHICAGO GAS MOST ACTITE
New York, Nov. 29. The stock market
was dull during the greater part of the day.
At the opening a firm tone prevailed and
fractional advances were scored for the
leading shares, owing partly to moderate
purchases for London account, but chiefly
to buying to cover short contracts. Bead
ing was one of the leaders in the upward
movement, being taken in round amounts
by a firm credited with being short of that
and other stocks for a well known operator.
Louisville and Nashville sold up to
71, the greatest advance ot the day in the
railway list. Following the partial elimi
nation of tbe short interest, dullness set
in and the fluctuations were quite insignifi
cant until the last hour when the bears
made a vigorous and successful raid. The
market closed weak; railway bonds con
tinue irregular. Tbe sales amounted to
$1,146,000. Tlie Beading's were firmer on
the favorable October statement.
There seems to be no doubtabout theship
ment or gold on Saturday next Tue only
question now is. How much will go out T
With sterliug exchange at $4 SS on tbepound
and no commercial bills In sight such an
outcome is inevitable. Wall street realizes
the fact and thisafternoon'soutpourorboth
long and short stock furnishes convincing
proof of the danger. Outside of this the
maiket had little to move It. Even the In
dustries were neglected, and though the
October statement of the Heading Company
produced a favorable Impression. It could
nut stem the tide of bearish ieellng which
swept over the "street." From Sproul &
Co.'s market letter.
The main cause of to-day's weakness was
the project that by Saturday's steamers
about t3.000.u00 gold wlllco out; exchange
Is very r rung, and unless Europe buys any
quantity ot stocks the shipments abroad
will be enough to Increase the uneasy Ieel
lng. When It comes to any great shipment
or gold it matters little whether railroad
earnings are good or not, as the money mar
ket stiffens up and weak holders are forced
to sell. This is the true position ot the mar
ket at present, and conditions are decidedly
against the bulls. We look lor still lower
prices, and advise our lrlends to sell on
every rally, on any decided break, however,
the market is always good for a rally. The
news from the sliver conference was such as
to not show any encouragement, as the
proposition of Mr. Itotlischlld that we
should coin 5J.0O0.O00 ounces and all Europe
25 000,000 ounces annually is considered in
Wall street as ridiculous J. S. Bacbe &

HIGHER PRICES
Established at the Opening, but Not All the
Gains Are Sustained.
Cnicsoo, Nov. 29. A meteorio display or
high prices In the provision pit fascinated
the bears into temporary stupor for a time
to-day. To-night, however, compared with
last night, quotations for grain and nearly
everything else show a loss. Wheat is down
about c and corn c.
Tbeie was not much activity in wheat.
Cables were dull and easy, and the English
market was represented as in a seriously
demoralized condition, with prices so low
that larmers were inclined to feed their
wheat to stock rather than market it at the
low prices, which are equal to 81c for the
average of the farmers' product. Minnesota
patent flour was said to be selling in the in
terior towns of England for $5 per barrel.
The amount of wheat and flour on passage
Increased 1,650,003 bushels during the last
week and the .receipts in the Xortuwest
were again large or 940 cars against 75 cars
for the same day last year. The English
visible supply whs also said to show an in
crease of 103.COO bushels. The contract
wheat in Chicago elevators Is 00,000 bushels
more than a week ago. Ttieco conditions
with good selling gave the market a weak
undertone, but tbe excitement In the pro
vision pit and the sharp advances scored
there helped to hold wheat pretty steady,
even in the face of so much that was bear
ish. Late cables reported a decline of Kd.
and the heavy feeling locally became inure
pronounced, last prices being at the bottom
for the day.
Corn was inclined to weakness but on the
excited feeling In hog products developed
strength temriorarllv. The chief bull Item
of the dny was the decrease of nearly 900,000
bushels In local gtoctts. The light out in
spection or 120.OJ0 bushels and the increase
of about 300,000 bushels on ocean passage
were on the bear side. The close was flat at
bottom prices, as a result of the depression
in wheat.
The oats trade, which was most active
around the high prices of the day, waa
largely of a scalping nature. The close was
at j(c decline from last night.
The provision trade had a continuation of
the squeezing operations which nave so
frequently of late made the shorts' lives
miserable. Cudahy's and Wright's brokers
appeared to have had Instructions to take
everything in sight at the opening, and
Slices jumped skyward. When the shorts
ad taken their medicine the price worked
back to where it had closed on the previous
evening except lard, whioh retained the
greater part of the dav's gain to the end and
lelt oft at 22J4c higher than it did yesterday
for January deliverv. At the top. pork was
37Kc higher than last night; lard, 32c and
rib 17c
Freignts wore slow at 2c for corn to
Buffalo.

LOCAL AND GENEEaL FINANCIAL NEWS
Tuesday, Nov. 29.
Another decline in Philadelphia Com
pany was the bulging feature of the local
stock market to-day. Ihe stock did not
show special weakness until the last few
minutes of the closing call, when it sold at
20Jf20i4, and closed looking weak at W
20X. These figures apparently brought
out some stop oideri, or else some stock was
thrown on the market through the failure
ot someone to respond to a call for margins,
as, immediately after the gong
sounded for the olose of the
call, it came out rather liberally
at 20J, and then at 20 and closed firmly
at 20X bid. Sproul & Cc and "W. J. Rob
inson were the chief sellers, and the buying
was distributed among G. B. Barbour, Fred
Rinehart, Lawrence & Co., R. J. Stoney, Jr.,
Hill & Co.. and a L. McCutcheon. The
cause of the weakness of the stock is inex
plicable. So far as can be learned, it is
worth just as much now as it was when
quoted at 23. It had to have a break, seem
ingly, and now thut it has had one it may be
we will see a better market for all the
gassera, Phillie in particular. The stock is
certainly worth more intrinsically than it
Is selling for, and there is bound
to be a reaction. It looka very much
as If it had touched bottom. Considerable
Uneasiness was created In the East to-dav
by the announcement that several millions
oi gold would go out by Saturday's steamers,
and it may be that the uneasiness was re
flected here. There was certainly a dispo
sition at the close to let go of stocks likely
to suffer in tho event of tight money.
Besides the sales of I'hillie, Union Switch
aud Signal preferred sold at 88, one share of
Lustre Mining Companv at 9und$l,000. P. &
IS. traction 6s sold at 100, which was the ex
tent of the business on 'change The quota
tions made throughout the list,
however, indicated a generally weak
tone. The ti actions were all easy, with one
or two of them lower, and the Bame descrip
tion is applicable to any one of tbe other
groups of stocks. Electrio second preferred

McCandless and Coinsurance.
President McCandless, of the Pittsburg
Board, was in town Saturday, says tho New
York SuUetin, and talked to the Bulletin re
garding the coinsurance question at Pitts
burg as follows:
"It was never up before the Pittsburg
Board In any manner, shape or form, and,
consequently, could not have been squelched
as stated by -Iron City' in his communica
tlonor November 18. The whole matteris
beinfc carefully considered by the Executive
Committee of tbe board, and in my opinion,
it is only a question of lime when the best
coinsurance system will be adopted. How
long a time that will be, it is hard to tell.
We meet once a month, and our regular
meeting has Just passed."
President McCandless, on being asked
whether the W. G. McCandless, W.rL. Jones
and Edwards & Kenney agencies, which con
trol much business there, are in favor or
azainst coinsurance at Pittsburg, says:
"They have no more voting power than other
agencies. I am not prepared to say which
are for and which against coinsurance, but
I believe a majority of the Pittsburg Board
n ill prove favorable to the measure when
properly presented. I cannot fix any time
when it will be, although we are liable to
see it done early in the coming year."
On being asked what would postpone the
needed action until 1893, Mr. McCandless
says: "We have only one meeting befors
next year. It requires laoorand time to get
data from other cities. Then, too, the holi
day season comes in. We aie not afraid to
bell the cat.'. One of tho most serious ob
jections that we meet with is the fact that
New York and foreign companies will per
sist in writing over the heads of their agents
at less than board rates." Regarding tbe
bearing of this on coinsurance. Mr. McCand
less says: "The higher the rate, the greater
the opportnnity. The adoption of coinsur
ance Is practically au advance in rates. It
means mora premium, or the companies
would not advocate it."
Upon this interview a New York insur
ance man comments as follows: From the
jucCandless interview I Judsc that tbe
agent-brokers at Pittsburg are trying to
postpone tbe question till tbe storm blows
over, and then shelve it. W. L. Jones is op
posed to oolnsurance very positively, and Is
unlikely to be instrnrtod from his home
office McCandless and Edwards X Kenney
do not favor the reform for fear they may
lose some of tbe accounts they control. The
'agent for 'the assured" is very numerous
and bold at Pittsburg. With the example of
how the companies conquered the rebellious
Virginia agents before us it Is fair to assume
that, smarting under the heavy louses,
agency managers will soon oommence set
tling the Pittsburg question unless the local
agents act speedily themselves. The broker
agent Is as much of an evil factor at Pitts
burg as he is at Baltimore

A WELL ON THE STIRLING.
The Forest OH Company's No. 2 Is Making
From 13 to 15 Barrels an Hour Lo
cated Southwest of Oakdale Dry Holes
Below Slstersville.
There was one good well reported yester
day m tho McDonald field. It comes in the
nature of a surprise as it is located almost
in the midst of a circle of small wells or dry
holes. The well is the Forest Oil Company's
No. 2 on the Stirling farm and it is making
from 12 to 15 barrels an hour. It is about
halt mile west of south from Oakdale.
It Joins the famous Marshall farm, which
Greenlee & Forst developed on the south.
The Fo est Oil Company's No. 1 on this
farm, which was drilled nearly a year ago,
was dry in all sands, but considerable gas
was found in the tonrth sand, and sonio in
the tilth. .Jennings & Co. and the Floicnce
Oil Company both drilled light wells in this
vicinity, and the Forest's well was almost
entirely unexpeced. It may lead to uioro
drilling, but as the sand has already beon
proven to be ,spotred, there are few who
would care to take a chance at it.
Je'nnings & Co.'s well on the Sptoul farm
was reported last night to bedilllingin the
fifth sand, but according to the latest reports
no pay streak, bad been leached.
The Wheeling Gas Company was on top or
the nrth sand in Its No. 2 Kelso, east of tbe
Scott farm wells, last evening, nnd they
were expecting the rock at every bit.
Greenlee & Hartman struck r vein of gas
yesterday in the bottom of the Big Injun
sand, at their No. 3 on the Potter furm. south
o: the Meiso pool. It is located 800 feet
southwest of their No. L which was a good
Gordon sander, and they are looking for a
good producerat this well. Their No. 2 Pot
ter, which is a small well, is located 400 reet
east of No. 1.
Greenlee & Forst'a No. 1 on the Rough
farm, near Chartiers, was drilling In the top
or the fourth sand yesterday. They expect
the oil at 28 feet in the sand.
The Tldul Oil Company, which has been
delayed at Its No. 10 on the Marshall farm,
south of Xoblestown, on account of having
to drill out a bailnrin the Gordon, will be in
the fi:th this week. Their No. 8 Marshall is
also due in the filth within a few days.
The New Underdid Sand.
UNDEitcxipp-The information published in
The Dispatch yesterday? relating to Ros
cnzl's well at Wlttmer station created con
siderable comment among tbe oil operators.
It was not drilled any deeper yesterday, and
is still standing with 400 feet of oil in the
hole. Tbe tools may Jje, run to-day. The
sand is found at 1,9.7) feet.
John M. Patterson, the well-known opera
tor, who is thoroughly conversant with the
sands In that locality, assorts that it is a
sixth sand, as it is 175 feet below the top of
the fifth sand.
S. D. Robi'on, who drilled a well within a
few hundred feet or Rosenzi's well, stopped
at about 1,905 feet. He now intends to drill
his well on down to the new sand.
Dry Hole Below Slstersville.
Sistersville Guffey, Bobbins & Co.'s well
on the Johnson farm, 12vmilcs below this
place, on Middle Island creek, is dry in the
Big Injun. It will be drilled to the Berea
Grit, which Is 400 feet below the Injun.

The production of McDonald was 20,000
yesterday, the same as the day before;

BUTTER IS FIRM,
But No Change in Price Is Established in
Elgin Coffee Another Very Strong Point
of tho Markets, and a Higher Range of
Cost Is Probable Fresh Eggs Scarce and
Firm.
Tuesday, Nov. 29.
Sales on the Elgin butter board yesterday
were made at last week's prices, so that no
change in quotations on creamery butter
will be made in this market this week. The
situation is very strong, however, and the
export business is quite active.
Another very strong point in the market
is coffee. Hints are thrown out that prices
will be advanced again this week. Intelli
gent opinions in the roasting and grinding
trade aie to the effect that the only way
that the present decidedly upward tendency
in coffees can be checked is for the retailors
to put up prices in following with what
prices have advanced within a year on raw
coffees. This putting up prices, instead of
trying to cheapen the coffee, would tend
to greatly check the consumption
of coffee, and thereby the chief
cause of the advancing market would
be removed the small stocks and the less
ened production. Tho Rio and Santos spot
markets are strong, active add higher. A
heavy business is being done In afloats and
spot coffees at an advance ot per cent over
lust week's prices. The latest cables from
the primary markets report advancing
prices, with large shipments being made to
Europe and tue United States. Planters'
agents estimate the next Rio crop at only
2,700,000 bags. In New York, as well as other
markets, there was a heavy business last
week, the wai chouse deliveries averaging
15,000 bags a day. There is also a lack of
desirable stocks to select from. Almost tho
entire stock of spot coffees consists of me
dium ciades, high nnd low grades being
very scarce. In Maracalbo and Central
American coueea me huukce is very unniy
held, owing to tho small stocksiand scarcity
of desiiable grades.
Grain continues to show great strength
here, and as will be noticed oats havo ajaiu
been marked up.
The egg market remains firm at the ad
vanced prices, the receipts and supplies
being very small. The bulk of the offerings
is cold storage stock.
