A SPURT IN OIL.
The Dollar Line Touched-Best Closing for
Nearly Four Years.

The Dollar Line Touched-Best Closing for
Nearly -Four Years.
The oil market vest sterday was bullish and ex.
cited. For the first time in just four weeks it
touched the dollar line. Trading was quite
lively both East and West, Pittsburg giving
the cue. The market opened strong at 95,
where it hung for a few minutes and then
weakened to 94s4, the lowest price of the day.
Then an advance set in. which was not inter-
rupted until it sold up to 81, at which price sew
eral small lots were unloaded. The market
then declined slowly the rest of the day, clos
ing at 9S-with one exception the best for near
ly four years. The highest in New York was
The short interest is very light, less than at
any previous time since the Exchange was
opened five years ago. This is a strong factor
that can be given for the advance are bullish
statistics and scarcity of certificates.
A New York telegram says: Petroleum was
stronger and prices moved higher than ever be-
fore this year, August option selling up to 81
per barrel and spot oil reaching 9611c. The ad-
vance was caused mainly by an attempt of
Wall street and Pittsburg operators to cover
high to get any certificates, and it is under
stood that the outstanding short interest re-
mains as large as ever. Spot oil opened steady
at 943zc, and started upward Immediately after
the first sales, and before noon advanced TO
98%. The market then reacted and became
quiet. closing steady at 977Sc. Stock Exchange:

amount to $3.50 on each s., 900 bond; thus. If the
Government was compelled to pay by the
scarcity of bonds, 1856 or 81 $50 for each 81, 900
bond, there would be saving to the people OF
s360000 IN each 81, 900 600 purchased; while the
scattering of the money into the channels OF
trade and commerce would result in untold
good to the country. Now. unless we are very
much mistaken IN our opinion, the Secretary
will have no trouble in supplying all his present
wants at considerably less than 1885, The Secre-
tary of the Treasury is now offering to buy AIS
at price which nets the Government saving
of less than ~ per cent for each year-zZ
years they still have to run-and gets no bonds
worth talking about"
As an offset to this, Secretary Window was
recently quoted as saying that there were no
apprehensions of a money stringency, and in
proof he pointed to the fact that, while the
Government stood ready to buy in It's bonds,
holders refused to sell them. As they pay less
than 2 per cent premium counted, this would
not be the case If money were really or pros
pectively stringent

there was a moderate movement at the usual

rather scarce, but it was not down to the fam

ply.
Harvey Fisk & Sons, New York, say: "with
the small amount of excess reserve in the

demand for currency-now almost on us-to

HE COUGHED DAY AND NIGHT.

Mr.. James Brown, well-known citizen OF
Allegheny county, formerly residing in Glen
wood, but who has for the past IL years lived
in Hampton township, has passed through an
eventful experience His disease, although
not unlike that of many others. assumed GER
tain conditions that gave him great alar m. He
had continuous dropping of offensive matter
from his head into the throat, where il as
sumed dry, tenacious condition. rendering it
almost impossible for him to raise it out.
There was a tickling sensation in his
throat. and, as the poisonous matter
extended down into the bronchial
tubes of his lungs. he coughed badly
both day and night He felt great tightness and
a stuffed-up condition in his throat and lungs.
His breath became very short. and as the dis
ease further preyed upon his system. he lost
flesh and became very weak. He had pain over
the eyes. poor appetite. coated tongue and
belching of gas after eating. Although "a years
of age he received treatment from the physi-
clans of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute at
323 Penn avenue, and he became entirely cured
of these diseases.
He adds: II am glad to give my testimony
for publication. as have been cured as above
stated. by the physicians of the Catlrrh and
Dyspepsia Institute. JAMES BROWN"
Mr.. Browns postofice address is TaIley
Cavey, Allegheny county. where this statement
can be easily proven by himself and many
friends.

NEW YORK, July 22-The week on the Stock
Exchange opened with dull and declining
market, though considerable irregularity and
feverishness marked the trading, and the final
changes for the day are generally fractional
and very irregular. The same influences
which made the market so weak on Saturday
prevailed at the opening. and first prices were
from H to e per cent lower than Saturdays
closing figures. The traders and professionals
were still inclined to hammer the list, while
commission people were doing nothing, and
there were few London selling orders in the
market. There was some buying for Western
account however, and it was noticed that
there was more inquiry in the loan crowd for
the Western stocks, while in all the leading
stocks there was evidence of better support
After the weak opening the market became
quite strong, though the movement was of
slight Importance The improving tendency
was hampered by the weakness in the trusts,
in which several stop orders were uncovered,
the special cause of the decline being the de-
cline in beet sugar IN Europe. Sugar scored a
decline of 2s per cent in the first hour, and the
others lost fractional amounts. The official
denial OF saturdays story of the sweeping
reduction in Missouri rates was received, and
turned over some of the traders to the long
side and brought in some outside buying or
ders, which lifted the general list to something
above first prices. Missouri Pacific leading.
The highest prices were generally reached
shortly after noon, when it was announced
that the Missouri Commissioners had ordered
reduction in some rates, and Missouri Pacific
quickly lost all the Improvement of the FORE
noon, and the rest of the list, while subsiding
into intense dullness showed a sagglng tend
ency. The traders again attacked the list
later, and toward delivery hour the downward
movement became more pronounced. The
c., c., G. & St. L. stocks. however, showed
marked strength, and advanced per cent from
ats lowest price. In the last hour there was
