APALL IN BRIDGE STOCK,
Sales Made Yesterday Lead TO Enquiries
BEING Made The New Bridge,

Sales Made Yesterday Lead TO Enquiries
BEING Made The New Bridge,
A well known real estate agent and
stock broker yesterday disposed Of a
small block Of Wheeling and Belmont
Bridge Company stock at $50 per share,
The par value Of this stock is sos per
share, and for the past three or four
years what little OF it has been put on
the market has never sold for less than
$40 per share. Some OF II has sold as
high as S45, but the average price during
this period has been about S42j and on
stock purchased at that figure 1t Is re-
ported that the returns have been about
the size Of 7 or per cent, and this, too,
with the company making large OUTLAWS
for extensive improvements.
Naturally the report that block Of
this good paying stock had been disposed
OF at such a big drop from the figure II
has been commanding, occasioAed con-
siderable comment in business circles,
A reporter who made some inquiries into
the transaction learned that only Ave OF
six shares constituted the block disposed
OF, and that the sale was partly IN the
nature OF a forced one, 1t Is said, which
would partly account for the drop; the
owner was In need Of ready cash and
had to have it quick, But II was also
learned that while 1t Is not probable thai
any more Of the Wheeling 4 Belmont
Bridge Company's stock can be had al
that figure to-day, there are several
blocks that can be had at $S5; indeed Il
was stated to the reporter by several
stock brokers that they could pick up OF
the quiet all the stock wanted al SIS,
When asked as to the cause Of thi'
drop and whether the proposed new
bridge had anything to do with 1t, ont
stock broker replied; "That's Just it
| the Suspension bridge people have beer
given quite a black eye by all THU
talk about the proposed new
bridge to the Island, They know
that there Is good Pittsburgh money be-
hind that scheme and that itseldom goes
into anything that Is not a go. With q
new bridge built in the not very fal
future as the Suspension peo'
pie and many others believe, the
Suspension bridge stock IL not going Ia
be the fat thing It has been for 80 many
years past. While there Is no stock ad'
yertised on the market, I'll get all any
one wants for $S5. The new bridge is q
sure go and don't forget It,"

WHAT NAY 10 EXPECTED.
The Mills to Have Their Supply Of Natural
GINS Cut or This Winter,

The Mills to Have Their supply OF Natural
Chs Cut or This Winter,
The necessity Of obtaining better
supply Of natural gas for the mills and
factories Of this city has been presented
to the people in almost every light, but
many Of those who should be interested
still seem not TO appreciate the exact
condition Of affairs. The gas pressure Is
now too light to supply oil the fuel
needed by the industrial establishments,
and before the winter is over, before
that season is fairly on in fact, the supply
will be much more insufficient. The
Wheeling and West Virginia companies,
are both pushed continually, and there
seems to DO little hope Of their increas.
ing the supply.
The following, taken from the Pitts
burgh Commercial Gdseites stock market
reports ono day this week, illustrates
the situation and proves the necessity
Of obtaining q better gas supply than
now exists: "Wheeling gas stock dis
played great weakness, breaking 10 2St,
against sales last week at 30. AA officer
Of the company was asked il he knew
anything which would cause the sudden
decline, and replied that he did not. He
answered the question whether Wheel
ing had plenty Of gas by asking: "Have
any Of the companies plenty Of gasp
and stated that the mills on the line
would probably be cut of this winter,
when the demand for domestic consump.
ton was at it's height"

DANGEROUS PLACES
ON the Street Car Line Pointed out-Better
Regulations Needed.

ON the Street Car Line Pointed out-Better
Regulations Needed.
Yesterday q gentleman called the At
tention OF reporter to three places in
the city where the street cars, as they
now run, arc at times very dangerous.
At TwentyEeventh and Chapline, at
Thirty.third and EoF, and at Thirty
ninth and Jacob, the squares formed by
the intersection Of the streets are OCCu'
pied by two sets Of tracks. On these
tracks the cars run in opposite directions,
and very frequently they pass just at the
street Intersections. The gentleman IL
illustrates the case thus: Suppose o team
is coming down EoR street, aud the
driver hears the car gong, He does not
know whether the car Is coming up or
down Thirty.third street, and, when he
gets into the square, he finds one COM
Ing IN each direction. The space be-
tween them being very narrow, he is
placed u aposition Which, II his horses
are q Il Ia timid, Is dangerous. This
could b. easily remedied by an order
from the superintendent Of the COM
pany glyingth the cars going one way the
preference, and calling for the cars going
the other way to stand at least half q
square FROM the street intersection, till
tile other car turns the corner.
