Oil closed at Sac. yesterday. The
Warren county jumbo, it seems, can
bring down the price just so far and
then the bulls say "no further )" hence
the price remains where it has been
for nearly a month past, in the ifties.
Of course we never bought more than
a million barrels at time, and conse-
quently are not thoroughly posted in
the ups and downspf the business, but

investment. There is an end to all
earthly things, and in all human
probability the Warren county field
will see and end some day, and then

The Bradford Era says: Difficulty
is experienced in getting men to work
on the more elevated part of the Kin
zua bridge even at the luxurious wages
Of SO per day. Labor for raising the
lower columns is cheap, but the price
advances as the men climb heaven
ward. Few are used to the task of
working over two hundred feet from
the ground without even a scafolding,
only the foot wide iron girders being
provided for them to stand upon. The
end of the bridge is now 21S feet high
and the height will increase with each
succeeding span until the middle is
reached, when the spectator can have
the dubious pleasure of standing on
the track and looking down Sol feet
until his head swims.
