continued improvement in amount OF business done,
and the sales aggregated 13S,60O shares against

fuctuation The Bodie stocks continued strong,
and Bodie consolidated again rose to $11. Green

The absence Of the interest of the outside public IN the

week by the of tho market Another failure OF the
long-expected boom" in prices was recorded ana the
deaIn0s while fairly large confined soey to the
local traders at the different exchanges Prices were par
tIcuarly Irregular declining from an opening at ella
to al 5e and then advancing to S112+ under the de-
yeonmeut of an apparently strong tone Sales TO reaze

nuotatlons and the final figures $1O90 OSS5 Inc
e result was tho loss Of nearly cents barrel IRON the

fLeess the holdings Of oil apparently IN the hands OF
strong persona and their confidence that the statistical

They do not seem be disposed TO exert their power and
as the result of the indifference OF the public we have

THE PETROLEUM MARKET.

NEW-GORK, Feb $.
A great deal Of interest has been excited in
the petroleum by the development work in the ter
rory around the Mckinney well and at the southwest
er end of the Batown district In the former field the
work on about twenty rigs and drilling wells Is being
pushed The Indications point to the probability that the
Cooper and the Sheffield fields connected by vein or
oil OF the ordinary width for that part Of the country
little extension OF Baown district at its lower end Is
probable The several wells which were opened last week
seem to warrant these conclusions but at the same time
the results are not the expectation
of change I'm the situation of the oil country as whole

SUMPTION and ragged extension Of tho lms OF the elds

The Ladies Meeting

The ladies Of our city are, perhaps,
more enterprising than our males.
Sometime ago they got up Fair for
the benefit Of eur FIRE department, and

ment, that it resulted in the purchase
of steam Ere engine. They now
propose to inaugurate Bazaar to raise
money to complete the work they so
lnobly began. A meeting is called,
through our advertising columns, to
take place tomorrow afternoon at the
Assembly Rooms to arrange the pre-

The exposition about to open at
New Orleans will be one ofthe grand
est displays ever witnessed in the
world. Every State in the Union
will be largely represented. Annap-
oils ought to possess many relics OF
the past which would be acceptably
received and exhibited in the Mary
land department. We think it the
duty of those holding such relics to
offer them to our representative, DR..
Bishop, who will be very careful to
return them in good order to their
respective owners at the close of the
exposition.

A BeIated Crab.

The other day Mr.. Z. J. Tucker Of
SoIomon's Island, Patuxent river,
while taking up some oysters, found
among thenl very large soft crab.
It was presented to Captain Jones of
the steamer Theodore Weems, who
pronounced it as toothsome as are
soft crabs in their season. Now, we
have here some of the oldest and
most experienced crab catchers on
the bay, and we should like to learn
from them what they think of this
