and the price dropped to $3.50. From this
point it rallied and sold up to S291c, where 1t
held until the last 40 minutes when 1t was
struck by another cold wave, which sent 1t
down to size It afterward recovered frao-
tion, and closed at sl1<c, amid another
spasm of excitement The indications were
considered about even between a slight rally
and further decline to-day. Trading was OF
professional character, outsiders preserving
their customary attitude of disinterested oD-
servers. Carrying was fat
Field news was in substance as follows Inc
Union Oil COmpany's Robert Knox No. was
doing 30 barrels per hour. The Brownies NO.
well was doing l70 barrels per day. There was
no change at the Robbins well. The urlan
Clark No. and the Wolf well were due The
Frey well, Brush creek, was dry. Petrie No: z
Grafton, was said to be-s small Considerable
excitement was caused by the striking OF oil In
q wildcat well now being drilled on the Carver
farm, about three miles east of Rochester,
Beaver county 1t is believed to have been
found in the l00-foot sand but as the well is
mystery and admlttance to it is denied every
body, there is considerable doubt about where
it was struck. The location is considered very
good, as it lines up with the Glade run and
other very rich fields in Butler county, and now
that oil has been found there, the prospect OF
opening another very rich pool is regarded as
very promising. Drilling Is still progressing;
but as it is only about 10 days since the wen
was started it is difficult to form any idea as TO
the depth at which the oil was reached.

STOCKS ALMOST LIFELESS.
Very Little Business and Few Strong Spots
in the Market.

There was distressing absence of activity
In the market yesterday the sales amounting
to only 405 shares, contributed by Philadelphia
Gas, Electric and La Noria. Brokers were well
supplied with both buying and selling orders,
but prices were either too high or too low for
them to come together on trading terms. The
strongest features we're Pittsburg and Western,
Electric and Philadelphia Gas, all Of which
were higher. La Noria weakened under the
absence of expected news from the mine. The
rest of the list was unchanged.
Concerning Electric broker said: 81 attrib-
ute its weakness and dullness entirely to the
pending suits. The result will determine
whether Edison or Westinghouse will have the
privilege of debating terms of consolidation,
FOR consolidation is inevitable IN any event
That once accomplished there will be boom
in the stock, for it represents an interest of
great public Importance and limitless possiblll-
ties. The time will come, in my Judgment
when electricity will furnish all our light, heat
and motive power. This will make the stock
the most valuable of any in the world" Bids.

GENERALpb business men seen yesterday ex-
pressed decided opposition to permitting street
cars to occupy Diamond street. One Of them
said: 81 would rather the street would remain
a street railway In my opinion the proposition
is a fatal blow to the improvement. 1t Is so far
as am concerned"
