iurther, that rs a result Mrs. I.abouclere
did not come to Boston with the Jer-

but said Mrs. Langtry had chosen 10 make
and maintain an acquaintance IN New
York, against which Mrs. Laboucherc pro.
tested, and that the former proposed to
maintain their acquaintance in Boston, and
that hence she, Mrs. l.abouchere, declined

To-day, after much trouble and DELAY, a

Plrrsbu RGl, December 7.-The cold

Gates OF the oleaginous fluid, as there was
an unusually lively session at the Tx.
change this morning. At the opening
there WIS considerable strength developed
by the bulls, but about II o'clock there
was a general onslaught made by the bears
and the market finally broke, declining
from 81 lOl to 81 Os4. The decline was re.
ceived with loud cries by the bears, and
another s.ttack was made, but this time
they were repulsed and the price advanced
to 81 09i. Another reaction followed,
however, and the market again declined to
81 0S!.
A good dinner served to give the bulls
courage, and when the market opened in
the afternoon they entered the fight witt,
renewed vigor, and by . o'clock succeeded
in forcing the market up 10 SIP. The
strong advance created the widest excite.

The bulls yelled themselves hoarse, and
the bears, fresh from victory in the morn.
ing, stood in dis,nay.
What is the cause OF this sudden turn
in the market? asked press representative
Of prominent dealer. "The principal
reason" replied he, "is the fact that large
number OF producers have agreed to slow
down until spring. Another cause is the
cold weather which, il it continues a few
days, will compel all to suspend the drill.
Besides there is not enough water in the
Allegheny field to run the boilers. Then
