Lowry VS.. Il Constitutional Con-
ventiOn.


Governor Lowry has recently said
that he is opposed to a constitution
al convention for the reason that no
distinct and clearly defined plan has
been agreed upon for the action of a
convention. This il a curious process
of reasoning. Does he think that the
general condition OF rublic affairs are
in such perfect state that they re-
0uire 10 remedies And how is it
possible to perfect and define any
plan by which the State may be i'm
proved without first having a conven-
ton for the purposef
Governor Lowry expresses also
the remarkable idea that there are
differences of opinion in respect to
the measures which ought to be
adopted. If we wait for unanimity of
opinion there will never be another
convention. Again, he says con-
vention could control the Legislature
and the State Treasurer. What of
thist : convention would be the
people, the white men of this State,
and they are bigger than anything
that stays in the State house, and
properly so. The Governors reasons
are rather weak.

A BLIZZARD In OIL.
Prices Do Some Grand and Lofty Tumbling
=Renrs in Clnver-

Oil opened strong yesterday at S55sc, 16c bet
ter than on the previous day, and for short
time the feeling was decidedly bullish, with a
generous volume of business. This condition
was short lived, however for Oil City became
seller and reaction followed which sent prices
below zero. The bulls made gallant efforts to
stem the tide, but finally gave up in despair,
some of them changing front and joining the
bears. There was no recovery after the first
break, the tendency being steadily downward
until the close. The range of prices was the
lowest for many months. The opening was
S55sc: lowest, sac; close. S45sc New York was
a buyer under S5c.
The influence at work is incomprehensible
Bullsh news and decline in prices cannot be
satisfactorily accounted for. They are not con.
yertible terms. The cause for the depression
must be looked for elsewhere. More impor.
tance is attached to the producers bundle than
it is entitled to. If itwere all dumped its effect
would be over in two or three DAYS. That some.
body is loading up is generally admitted Moth
ing can be made by selling in the present con-
dition of the market But who the mysterious
individual or corporation is, is puzzle. AS
soon as he or it ceases to gobble a change will
come-there are signs of it in the air-and il
will likely be in an upward direction, for it is
hard to believe that there is lower depth to
which oil can sink

In SPLENDID SHAPE.
The Insurance Interest of Pittsburg
on a Firm Foundation.
SAFEGUARDS AGAINST FIRE.
The Petroleum Market Goes All to Pieces
Under Oil City Hammering.
STOCKS STILL RIDING A HIGH HORSE

Fire insurance is leading business in
Pittsburg. There are 81 companies in the
field, all thoroughly equipped and man
aged by able and enterprising men. A few
OF them are competitors with similar organi-
cations in foreign fields, where they have
established agencies, but the others, which
constitute large majority, confine them
selves to what they call local work. This
means that they restrict their operations to
Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and
West Virginia, with an occasional foray over
the Maryland border.
There is no friction between the companies
in the matter of rates. The schedule adopted
last year continues in force, and is working
satisfactorily. Pittsburg and Allegheny are
thoroughly inspected, and improvements in
the way of safeguards against fire suggested by
the inspectors must be made before policies
can be obtained at schedule rates. Neglect in
this direction is punished by an extra charge
commensurate with the greater degree of risk.
In some cases insurance at any price is refused.
This makes property holders careful and tends
to reduce the number of fires.
The insurance business, so far as it affects
Pittsburg, is in better shape this year than ever
before. All of the q companies have ample
surplus to meet any ordinary exigency. Moth
ing less than a general conflagration, such as
swept over Pittsburg in ls45, would compel any
of them to throw up the sponge. The fact that
there is very little insurance stock for sale
shows that the business is upon solid and pay
ing basis.
Fire insurance is of modern origin. 1t was
unknown to the Greeks and Romans. The first
official notice of it in England occurs in
statute passed by Parliament in 1901, year
before the death of Queen Elizabeth.

handling it was mum as Mr.. Quay before the
election. Something was going on also in
Wood street property, but it, too. was carefully
kept out of sight. One benefit of the proposed

lively interest.

LONDON DISAPPOINTED
Over the Failure of Wall Street to Elevate
Stocks-Coalers and Trusts Still
Prime Favorites-Prices
Slightly Better.

slightly Better.
New YORK, January 1.-THE stock market
was less active to-day, with feverish tone,
although rather heavy in the forenoon and
stronger later IN .he day. London was not SO
much of a factor in this market to-day, the
disposition on the other side being to await
action by the local operators, as there is con-
siderable disappointment over the failure of
the market to respond more freely to the
developments of the past week. Chicago was
seller to a moderate extent, especially of
Cotton Oil. and the news from that center was
of mixed character, some cutting of rates
being reported, while st. Paul and other roads
were said to be reducing expenses in many
ways.
The coal stocks were the great feature of the
day, and considerable pressure was brought
upon Reading and Lackawanna. The last
named stock was quite weak in the forenoon,
but later recovered handsomely, and is one of
the few showing material gain for the day
this evening. Delaware and Hudson was uri-
usually active and strong and moved up rap
idly on a report that there would be an increase
in the rate of dividend or an extra dividend at
the next meeting. Outside of the three stocks
mentioned, Reading, Lackawanna and st. Paul
in the regular listand Cotton Oil in the unlisted
department, there was very little interest in
the transactions, and fluctuations were small
and unimportant, except in Chicago Gas Trust,
which recovered some of the loss of the past
few days.
First prices were about steady, but the mar
ket in the succeeding transactions became
quite feverish, and except in the Coalers and
the Trusts there was very little movement out
side of Delaware and Hudson. The market
closed quiet and firm at fractional advances
for the day. The final changes are almost all
in the direction of higher figures.
The transactions In the bond list showed a
marked falling off to-day, being only 81, ,42S, 600
against Sl,9750O0 yesterday. To this amount
the Reading fours contributed $4,000, and the
Atlantic and Pacific fours sl4l, 200. but there
was no other special animation in the list
