GOING SKYWARD.
The Oil Boom Still On, but ir Fails to Inter-
est Outsiders,


The bulls on oil were more bullish than ever
yesterday. They stormed around until they
got the price up to 1861 The opening was
1882, the highest 1867, the lowest 1885, and
the closing 1855
The melting causes of the boom were IN ad-
vance of five points in refined at New York,
and expectations that New York shorts will
soon be compelled to cover. One or two ex-
perts SAID the market was running up too fast
to stay. Conditions, however, are beginning to
count, and they all favor the advance.
Pittsburg and Oil City were the principal
supporters of the market. New York sold;
but there was considerable realizing all round
A notable circumstance is that the boom has
so far failed to interest outsiders. The lobby
yesterday was very thin. Room traders had it
all to themselves The close was steady to
strong. Thursdays elearings we're 100000 bar
rels.
The Wheeling Natural Gas Company is drill
ing four new wells, all of which are expected
ated in Oakwell and Mount Pleasant townships
Washington county, and when finished they
will be connected with the company's main line
from Washington county to Wheeling.
One Of the wells was started as early as last
December, but last spring the tools broke and
since then the contractors have had fishing
job, which lasted for several months and de-
layed the work considerably. However, the
well is now drilled down into the sand and it
will be first to come in.

A PLETHORA OF FUNDS.
Pittsburg Banks Hold Plenty of Money for
All Legitimate Purposes.


Chicago reports no money to spare, but Pitts
burg banks have more than they can find en-
ployment for. The difference between the two
is that Chicago is debtor and Pittsburg
creditor city-money moves from the one and
toward the other. Pittsburg manufactures
draw funds hither; Chicago speculation causes
an outward fow. making that center one of the
first to feel financial pinch
Nothing short of a universal crash which
would put a stop to all manufacturing, could
materially affect Pittsburg. Other cities East
and West have been complaining at intervals
for month or two of tight money, but the
situation here has been at no time strained,
and the prospect is good for an easy money
market all through the winter.
There was good demand for funds
yesterday which was supplied at the
customary rates. Checking was good and
depositing liberal for SO near the end
of the week Currency was easier. The ex-
changes were 81, 544, 541 IS and the exchanges
1898, $50 80. The probability is that Pittsburg
will put Baltimore in a hole again this week.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, ranging from ~ to 6, last loan s, closed
offered at per cent Prime mercantile paper,
9<@7. Sterling exchange quiet but firm at
"a sl75 for 60-day bills. and 81 s511 for demand.

The situation presents no new features since

Notwithstanding recent decline. Potatoes of
low grade, with which markets have been
flooded of late, are pretty well cleaned up, and
choice stock is active and firm. Jersey sweets
are IN good demand, but Southern sweets go
slow. There is good supply Of grapes in the
market, bur their season is evidently near its
close. Only fancy apples are wanted thus far,
and common stock goes begging for customers.
There is an improved demand for Sweitzer and
Limburger cheese the past week and prices are
stiff and will Undoubtedly 60 higher before the
month is out The drought in Wisconsin has
curtailed the output during August and Sep
temDer and domestic Sweitzer can hardly fail
to feel the effect.

NEW YORK. October 25. = The drygoods
market presented the usual features Of late.
Demand was steady in the directions previous
wants, but liberal for futures. There was no
decidedly feature to the market Prices con.
tinued pretty firm and the general tone tends
toward Improvement In some respects busi-
ness seems quiet but this is seasonable. The
market is in astonishingly good shape as to
stocks, and 1t is understood that the same con-
ditions prevail with jobbers throughout the
country. The outlook seems TO be as favorable
to spring trade as it well could be.
