Lucky Oil SpeculatUs.

| Pit burgh Tergr M, Aug. 81.
The excitement in oil circles Is still
undated, and Duquesne way to-day is
alive with dealers. 1t is runlored that
there is giant ring bolstering up the
price of oil, and that before many
| days the bottom will fall completely
out. Others deny this and say the ad.
vance is the legitimate demand of Ger
man brokers, who in anticipation of a
still further rise are buying freely, and
| now find the production in no way suf-
ficient to meet the demand. However,
be this as it may, reports are in circu-
lation of immense profits and fortunes
some operators made during the past
week. Dr.. II0stetter, of bitters fame,
it is stated, held personally 100000
barrels, on which he cleared Two dol.
lars per barrel. A number of opera.
tors here who held 10000 barrels sold
yesterday at a profit Of three dollars
and thirty cents per barrel. Schriver,
of Oil City, closely connected with the
pipe lines, has cleared, it is said, dur.
ing the past week, 100000. Thum &
Co., brokers, who hold a large quanti-
ty of low.priced oil, are reported to
have cleared on its sale upward of
100000. One sroker here has $4,000
barrels which cost him but little over
81 per barrel. He still refuses to let
it go 1T 81. Another gentleman bought
quite low, some time ago, paying about
80 cents and sold at 1915. Another
transaction, much larger, was that of
Il dealer who sold 3 900 barrels at 50. 80,
for which lie paid IS cents, but was
afraid the market would collapse.
Everybody in the oil region who has
had any cash on hand seems to have
invested when the rise commenced
and were made happy. At Oil City,
one Of the SPECTATORS is about $73,UOO
ahead, and several others nearly or
quite rs much. Many of them count
their profits realized by tens of thou.
sands. and few of them by anything
less than thousands. A large number
OF outsiders, who rarely, if ever, have
anything to do with the market, have
been induced so take a chance and
have realized good profits. Young
men with limited capital and board
bills to pay have purchased calls at
prices which they little expected the
market to reach, and have realized
profits ranging from $50 to ST. 600. It
is safe to say of the oil exchange that
there was never a scene of so much
excitement in three consecutive days.
At Titusville it was the same. Geo.
A. Chase went to the exchange in the
morning, and came out at night with
ST. 200 more money than he entered
with. Chief of Police Rouse made
$3.50 net during the past three days.
Policeman Kane is worth $500 more
than one week ago. A boy put $40
III the hands of a broker to be used
with other money, and in two days
time drew ont $500. Some of the
dealers and brokers might report some
thing large. One Tltusville operator
since Friday morning last has made
$l5, 900; another $40 600 and another
$4,000. Others have made various
sums from $4,000 to $4,000. Will
prices stick, is now the absorbing
conundrum to operators in this city
and residents of the oil regions. The
fluid has already reached giddy
height, but the next "a hours may see
a wonderful change in it's figure.

How Long to Milk q Cow.

Mafyl0Du FARMER.
There seems to be prevalent idea
that it is not profitable to milk COW
more than eight or nine months, and
most dairymen dry off their cows early
and let them go dry three or four
months. Is this the best practice {?
We think not. A cow is kept for milk.
She should be bred for holding out her
milk rs long us possible with due re.
gard to health. 1t has been proved in
the case of thousands of COWS that
have lived to good old age. that they
can be bred to give milk ten months
in the year, bear 4 good healthy calf,
and be ready for us good a milking sea.
