A CRAZY MARKET.
Wide Fluctuations in Oil. Caused Partly by
Bogus Well News.

Wide Fluctuations in Oil. Caused Partly by
Bogus Well News.
The oil market yesterday opened strong at
107A on good Eastern buying and further ad-
vance of 10 points in refined. Local buyers
then went to work aad run the price up to 1O9.
At this juncture the report OF well at
Sheffield, Warren county, said to be doing 800
barrels an hour, obtained circulation on the
floor. This was veritable wet blanket to the
buoyant bulls, and under Its influence the
market broke to 1861. This report was soon
contradicted, however, and the market quickly
rallied to l071z, and closed steady at 1859 bid.
The latest report from the Sheffield we'll was
to the effect that it had been brought in, but
that its capacity had been greatly exaggerated.
1t is probably small one. How the report
started is not known, but it afforded the bears
good opportunity to get out of a hole.
Altogether it was lively day in oleaginous
circles, trading being good all along the line.
The longs rid themselves of good deal of the
stuff when the bears assumed the response
bility OF carrying, Trading in puts and calls
indicated still higher level Of prices to-day.
Saturdays clearings were $4,000 barrels.
A telegram from Warrington, W. Va, re-
eeeived yesterday afternoon, stated: Workmen
began to drill out the last plugs in the Hamil-
ton oil well this morning, and the well will be
let in some time this evening. The Hamilton
was the first and only well that has entered the
sand in this region, and hundreds of leasers
and oil operators are gathered here to watch
the amount of the flow. The importance of
the Hamilton well lies in the fact that it is at
least 20 miles in advance of any other well in
the Big injpnn sand, and practically locates
new oil field. The majority of the operators
believe it will not do less than 100 barrels q
day.
The fever for land speculation in this section
continues and hitherto unheard-of prices are
paid for land within any reasonable distance Of
the oil line

ances S429, ,0S6 93 The tact that Pittsburg put
Baltimore in hole last week was gratifying
to the business community.
Henry Clews Co., New York. say in their
financial circular: An easier feeling has pre-.
vailed in the money market during the past
week. The interior demand for currency is
growing less urgent, and the time is approach
ing when this will have been satisfied and cur
rency should begin to flow in this direction. by
this we do not mean that easy money is in i'm
mediate prospect, and yet an abatement OF the
recent tension Is TO be anticipated. The con-
tinued contractions in loans, amounting 70
about s12, 600 900 within the last three weeks,
has materially strengthened the bank reserves,
and SO tended to allay uneasiness In that re-
spect. Moreover, bond purchases have been
more liberal the last few days-about three and
q quarter millons-and this has afforded some
relief Still further, the Bank of ENGLAND has
succeeded in increasing its gold supplies tzoo,-

interior British demand and considerable eA-
ports to Brazil.
As result Of these conditions, while current
rates for both call and time money have ruled
at about previous high figures the stringency
is less pronounced and a better demand for
commercial paper is noticed; though the nlgn
rates tend to diminish the supply. The foreign
exchange market has been heavy, owing TO
better supply of commercial bills In fact, the
condition of our foreign trade is one OF tne
most favorable features in the situation. The
revival of trade in Great Britain Is causing an
active demand for our exportable products,
while the same influence tends to restrict I'M
ports: thus not only averting an unfavorapie
trade balance, but also stimulating the demand
for home manufacturers. Our total exports IN
