ford is well-known in both Pittsburg and
the Southside. He is now, and Las been for
several years, living at No. 240 Brownsville

notable in the second case for the remark
able experience it describes. Mr. Crawford's
fast-failing health had convinced. him and
his friends that he would have to give up
entirely the duties which engaged him In
the mercantile line.

Good Trading at the Stock Exchange For

Considerable business was transacted at the
Stock Exchange yesterday for short day,
and the feeling was more buoyant than usual,
indicating that the brokers are seriously THINK

holders, there were no transactions. lHere
were few office sales at slight CONCESSIONS
from Exchange quotations. The other natuIal
gassers were steady, with no particular cnanSe.
Electric was firm and featureless, waiting LOT
something to turn up. Friends OF the company
think it will come out triumphant from lts
legal entanglements. Bank and insurance
stocks were firm and inactive, with some ao-
vances and no declines.
A broker remarked: "The great trouoie
with stock dealing here is that brokers nolo
out too long for trifes. Instead of selling at
fair profits and making quick turns, as in New
York and Chicago, they higgle and halt over
small fractions, and often miss a sale by IL
By adopting a broader policy and paying less
attention to trifies they would do more business
and make more money. The pinching process
works no better in stocks than in drygoods or
groceries, and by pursuing it brokers often
miss big thing while wasting time over q
small one. Liberality is always rewarded. II

BETWEEN TWO FIRES.
Petroleum Winds Up the Week Below the
Dollar Line.

Oil was in an uneasy condition yesterday, with
bearish influences predominating, chief Of which
were the two new wells recently brought in, and
continued selling in New York. The bullish
factors were greater firmDess in refined and in
crease in consumption. Between these two
fires the fluctuations were narrow and local
trading light. Oil City did most of the buying.

market to fall below the dollar line. The open

The interest in the building of our Odd
Fellows Temple is being revived again IN some
of the lodges, and it is earnestly hoped that
their efforts may prove successful. for su ,h a
building has become an actual necessity in this
city, and should be centrally located, for several
reasons which we have not the space here to
mention, but when the affair has taken a more
definite shape we will have something more to
say upon the matter.

THE OLD FLAG.

Though many and bright are the stars that
appear
In the flag of our country unfurled;
And the stripes that are swelling in majesty
there
Like rainbows adorning the world;
Their light is unsullied, as those in the sky,
By a deed that our fathers have done,
And they're leagued in as true and holy tie
In that motto of ''many In one"

An interesting incident is told at Jewell's

cotton factory. 1t was in the birthstone
days Of 1854, when Sherman was making
Rome howl in Georgia. His men rode up to
this factory, listened for a minute to the
hum Of its spindles, glanced at Mr.. Jewell,
the elder, who was standing at the door,
and, in obedience to their commander.
started to fire the building. At this instant
Mr.. Jewell pointed to the tower on which
the Masonic sign sc" was printed in very
large tpye.
The leader cried out to his men, ssHold a
minutep' and then began to exchange signs
with the factory owner. Finding that the
latter was true Mason, he made his men
march onward to other spoils.

John M Oakley & Co.'s Wall street corres-
pondent wired yesterday evening: All the pro-
fessional statisticians had figured on loss to
the banks on actual cash ranging from two to
three millions, whereas the bank statement
shows a net gain of over q million in cash.
This great disparity called attention to the un-
certainty attending financial estimates, and as
the money market is the cynosure Of all eyes
figures relating to it were observed with special
interest The bank statement is made up on a
system of averages, which may be approxi-
mately correct IN the long run, but which is
peculiarly unreliable for any one week. The
stock market is in the clu tches of money lend
ers, and quotations which have natural ten
dency to rise are pinioned by usury.
Bankers all agree in saying that there is no
prospect of relief from high interest for weeks
to come. but perchance bankers are to money
what bulls are to stocks, always bullish when
they are high. and the higher the quotations
made the more bullish. Human nature is
pretty much the same with bankers as with
other persons, As it was, the bank figures for
q moment further stimulated an already strong
market. but the close was at concessions.
