OIL DROPS.

Business Hardly Up TO Expectstions-A
Lower Level Established. .--
Business at the Oil Exchange Yesterday was
the opposite of exciting, and the range of
prices was lower than on Saturday. Cash and
regular July options were dull and the quota
tions on them were practically the same as for
August. The latter opened with a steady feel
ing at 9S, and gradually sold up "a. which was
high water mark for the day. The market
hung around that figure nearly all the after
noon and closed weak at 92ss, Y lower than the
opening.
Trading was light, both East and West and
news of any kind was scarce. The increased
consumption of oil and steady decline of pro-
duction are regarded as favorable to an ad-
vance in the near future. Saturdays clearings
were 652 900 barrels. The new plan has SO far
failed to enlist the cooperation of the outside
interest.

In recent interview with Gen. Harri-

ground that his appointments in the

even if he should have to take moderate
Democrats, andin that way new South
can be built up, one which the Republic

son took great interest in Mr.. Bate

favorably toward the idea. This wall

IN BUSINESS CIRCLES.
Commercial Epltome for tine
week.
By Telegraph to the Citizen.

i
| NEW YoRE, Ian. 1S.-R. G. Dunn &
Co.'S review of trade for the week is as
follows: Mild weather still retards busi-
ness, and the practical effects of the re-
cent agreement of the railroad presidents
and bankers begin to be better under
stood. 1t is seen that an advance OF
rates has already checked, for time, the
distribution of products, and that it in
creases one difficulty which had beclouded
our horizon otherwise clear. On the
other hapd, anxious manufacturers in
iron and other connected industries when
searching for signs of eularged cousump-
ment of the bankers is in effect, that they
will discourage the building of more COM
peting railroads, and does not promise a
large increase in the demand for iron.
Last years. production of rails was QUE
third less than the production of 1887,
making difference of more than 70O,-
900 tons in the demand for iron, and yet
the new year begins with weekly pro-
duction, according to the Iron Age, OF
154, ,39S tons, charcoal, iron included; an
increase offs ,4S5 tons over December. The
immediate effect in the iron market is the
weakening of prices and Southern iron
are still offered at fifty cents less
than similar eastern grades, though
the latter are about fifty cents lower
than a week ago, for foundry grades.
Bar-iron, except the best, is exceedingly
dull, and it is again stated that steel
rails can be had at prices equal to $27 at
the mills, the sales thus far, for 1889, be-
ing only 434 1881 tons.
The coal market is also dropping. and
there is a complaint that rates are cut
by individual operators, and that the re.
striction fails to restrict.
The moyement of dry goods is greatly
retarded in nearly all parts of the coun-
try by unreasonable weather, and while
the sales of woolens are but moderate

Mr.. Ramseur's Remarks.
written for the citizen.l

GIancing over a CITIZEN of recent date
noticed an article headed alderman
Westall Takes up the Cudgei for the City
Council"
This is in answer to Rev. c. M. Bish-
ops complaint of the sidewalks of our
city.
1t occurs to me that it would be well if
more of our Taxpayers would initiate
Mr.. Bishops "boldness" and demand that
more of the city funds be used for that
purpose,
But why should it require boldness for
the sovereign people to demand of the
public servants an account of their stew
ardship? Have they, like Caesar. grown
so great that we dare not attack them
openlys
We dare it, but verify, we pay for our
"boldneSs and recklesSneSS" in subjecting
ourselves to insolence and abuse.
The truth is, our local government is
left too much in the hands of a few.
Did more of our citizens, best qualified
to direct our public affairs, take an ac-
tive interest in them, l venture to say
there would be more satisfaction among
the Taxpayers. In conclusion, will say,
| Mr.. Westall lays himself open to the
same charge he makes against Mr.
Bishop-that of being too 'quick to en-.
ter the columns of the CITzEN," occa
sionally. The space he occupies could
be filled with other matter more accepta
/ bic to its subscribers.
