A funphSe in Oil.

EXCITING seems IN THE PITTSBURG MARKET.
PITTSBURG, september S.-There was repetition
at the Petroleum exchange to-day OF Saturday s
exciting scenes, and Oil took a further tumble
dropping five cents in short time. When the mar
ket opened trade Had not fully recovered Satur
days furry, and the feeling was Very much unset
tied. This was greatly augmented by bearish news
and TulnOrS that several dealers were financially
embarrassed, whteh was later verified by the In
ability OF Jacob II. Walter ana f. f. Janowitz to
fulfil contracts. Walters was unable to deliver
As. 600 barrels, and that amount was bought in
under the rule fOrihiS account. JanowttZs failure
was caused by Walters embarrassment. The total
loss in money Will not exceed 81, 900. When the
gong sounded for the commencement of business
there was a general rush to sell, and
values dropped from u to 76, then rallied
to 1Sh, and remained in that neghborhood with
Slight fluctuations until pm. when trade became
pano stricken. In few minutes prices fell to 73ss
There was great excitement, ana. numerous large
bundles OF oil were thrown on the market.

New York Stock Market Heavy and

NEW YORK, September S-Wall Street. ESQ pm
The Post Says The stock market was heavy and
lower this forenoon, the large loss of property in
Cleveland by tho fire undoubtedly having some
effect In that DIRECTION. There was more than the
usual amount Of fuctuation OF prices in the hour
from the opening at II O'Clock until IL. but the
amount of trading was small. The decline In
prices appeared I'd be partly the effect Of the Ceve-
land fire, and partly due to the selling OF some long
stocks by speculatO tors who have become discouraged
with waiting for On advance The market for rail-
road bonds was quiet and Irregular during the first
hour and half OF business. The tendency OF
prices was downward, although the changes were
about evenly divided.
