OIL Continues to Struggle Along Below the

OIL Continues TO Struggle Along Below tho
Ninety Cent Line.
Petroleum was active and lower yesterday.
1t opened off Il of cent and dropped still
lower on heavy selling by Pemberton, Steven
son and Sproul & Lawrence reaching the low
water mark aboutnoon. 1t was then bulled up
by New York and Oil City, and closed steady
next to the best figure of the day. The ex-
treme fluctuations were: Opening. S75sc; high
est, SSc; lowest. SS14c; closing, s77sc.
The low prices are bringing out considerable
long oil, bought around 81 0s. A good deal of
it was marketed yesterday. The shaking out
of the longs will afford opportunity for new
deal and an advance in the price.
The bearish features of most importance yes
terday were a further advance OF 2 cents in
Ohio crude and decline in refined at New
York.
There was nothing specially important in the
field news. On the whole it was rather bull
ish. Another dry hole was reported in the
Sheffield district and one in the Shannopin
field.
The McClung & Co. we'll on the Graham
heirs farm, in the Hundred-foot district, is
making l5O barrels day. The big gushers
there have declined to a moderate output,
Wood & Young's well being the best producer
at the rate of 800 barrels q day.
The Wildwood well is doing about 40 barrels
day and will be drilled in. A bonus of s75.
with from one-fourth to three-eighths royalty,is
being asked for leases on the territory around
the well. with lots of takers at that.
The Ivory farm well, at Westyiew, is reported
to be doing anywhere from 25 to l25 barrels
day.
E. Hukilps well. on the Morse farm at Mt.
Morris, is in the pay streak and showing for
l50-barrel producer.
Barnsdale & Moore's No. S. on the Hammatt
farm at Eureka, is in the sand and showing for
800 barrels day.
The smith.Allender well. in the Washington
field, was drilled deeper with good result. 1t is
thought to be good for rs barrels

NEW YORK, March lS-The stock market to-
day was extremely dull, narrow and almost en-
tirely professional, with n consequent sagginc
tendency in prices, 'rhich, however, as a rule
resulted in nothing but slight fractional reces-
sions Reports of cutting of rates were again
prevalent, and gave the bearish traders what
little encouragement they'had during the day.
The opening of the market was marked by a
more vigorous attempt to down the list than we
have seen for some days, and Union Pacific was
the special object of the attack, being reported
as one of the offenders in the rate cutting line
The effect of the recent report of earnings of
the system, together with the opposition of the
company to a funding bill supposed to be in its
interest. we're powerful bear arguments on the
stock.
The bears are looking for stringent money
market around April i. and the near approach
of the settlements of that date makes them a
little more aggressive, while the bulls hold off
pending that time.
Atchison was again one of the most active
stocks of the day, but the strength which it
has shown lately was missing, and the same
NAV be said OF the Wheeling and Lake Erie
tocks. Northern Pacific preferred and e. q. &.
& ST. L. were also specially weak at times, while
all the advances were made in the specialties,
and Pere Marquette.
The unlisted department was more quiet,
though there was fair business in sugar re-
fineries, which after fractional decline slowly
crept up again and closed with material i'm
provement.
There was no news of character to have
any influence upon prices in the afternoon, and
the most extreme dullness and stagnation ruled
the market which finally closed fairly steady.
but generally within small fraction of the
lowest prices. The list is almost invariably
lower tonight. and while most of the changes
are Insignificant, Northern Pacific and Cleve-

financially, to take care of her own interests,
the promised influx of foreign capital will be
welcome. The city has started on career OF
