UNUSUAL ACTIVITY,

Buyers Are Considerably More Numerou,
Than Sellers I'm the Chicago lIaIket,
fsPBCIAL TELEGRAM TO THK DISPATCH,
CHICAGO, May 30.-Rogers, Brown & Co.
say: Instead OF the dullness so common in
the Chicago market at this period OF the yeal
We have unusual activity. Buyers are
rather more plenty than sellers at current
minimum prices. The bargains that were
going In Southern irons have disappeared.
Local brands also are irmer. Lake Superior
charcoal irons are so well grounded on what
the makers consider bottom, that offers on
large lots at so cents per ton under asking
hgures are promptly declined.
Inquiry ior malleable and car wheel irons
is heavy and rather in advance of usual
buying time. Ohio strong softeners and
silVeries continue to find ready sale in small
lots. Taxing the situation ali around there
is without doubt more hopeful feeling and
better outlook in all branches of the iron
and steel trades.

TWO MORE BIG WELLS.

Oil Business In the Belmont Ficld Locking
Up-Gushers Coming In.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPArcH.i
BELMONT, W. VA, May 3o.-Two more
big wells have been added to the list this
week. The Hart Barnyard well, on the T.
N. Boss, is now throwing out her 400 bar
rels day, and is not nearly through the
sand. The Island No. q few hundred
yards below the Island Beauty, came In
Wednesday, and is holding her record up to
30 barrels an hour. There are two other
them bid fair to be good producers. This
property is the subject of suit for $150, 900,
the plaintiffs .being Charles Best and
Thomas Lockwood, of Marietta. The gen.
tlemen claim to hold lease that super
sedes the one held by the Two Brothers
oil Company, and are going to try the
strong hand OF the law to gain possession.
Shingleton No. 1, owned by. the Belmont
OilCompany, was shot on Thursday, and
responded with tine most beautiful squirt OF
oil ever seen by any oil men of any field.
She was almost full of the pure stuff, and ten
quarts of nitro-glycerine lifted the oil about
60 feet above the derrick. The sun was
az tuC tiulS anu uO IdlQDOW ever QlS-
played finer variety of colors and shades
than that stream of pale green
oil. And what is more to the point,
the we'll, which had started off a few
weeks ago at 200 barrels, and had
run down faster than any other well in the
field until she reached the 25-barrel mark,
rose Immediately to the 200-barrel gauge
once more Immediately after her the
Graveyard well, which had come in a duster
save for slight show of oil, had 40 quarts
put in her. Her response was not so nota-
BILE, either for beauty or profit, but neverthe-
less she will probably do % or 80 barrels
day for some time to come, and is one of
that class of dry holes that pay for them
selves.
Three wells are due to-day-the Ferry
well, the Blacksmith shop well and Shingle-
ton No. 8. The first of these is on the Ohio
side OF the river, and not far from the Frie-
del No. 1, 50-barrel well. As this well is
q little nearer the large wells than
the Friedel, she will very likely
have greater capacity. G. B. Hart is the
principal owner. The second one, owned
by the same gentleman, is on the land
of T. n. Boss, and about 100 yards from the
Barnyard we'll, mentioned above. She is
gassing already, and the crew are busy NOV
ing her boiler, preparatory to bringing her
in. The third one is about $50 yards up the
river from the Island Beauty, on the West
Virginia side; and if position has anything
whatever to do with the caliber of q we'll,
she will certainly be dandy.

IRON TRADE REVIEW.
The Upward Turn Already Noted in
the Pittsburg Market
HAS BEEN MORE THAN SUSTAINED.
A Very Decided improvement Throughout
the Entire Field.
JUST A TRIPLE BETTER IN THE SOUTH

The upward movement Of iron and steel
noted in our report last Saturday has been
more than sustained. In some lines there
have been further advances, and in all iron
and steel products there is great hrmness,
with an upward drift. Bessemer iron is
particularly strong, and our quotations are
advanced in accordance with stubborn facts.
The general situation has ceased to be in
favor Of the buyer as it has been for a few
months past. The volume of business this
week shows a marked increase on last week,
and it is no longer possible to place future
orders at present prices.
Blooms and billets have Joined in the up
ward movement and our quotations are ad-
vanced. The demand for rails and nails is
also more active than it has been for some
months past, and, while prices are not ma
terially advanced, markets are much 6rmer.
Old rails are higher, a sale being reported at
$26 per ton.
Manufactured is in better demand, but
prices are unchanged.
The same is true of structural iron.
The general situation shows decided i'm
proVement.
Following are the latest quotations:

A BETTER DEMAND.
There Are Many More Inquiries and Num-
Der of small Orders.


Der of Small Orders.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH,
PHILADELPHIA, May 30.-Iron makers
and the manufacturers of structural iron
all report better demand. There is more
inquiry at prices very close to those at
which products are held. Small orders
are more numerous and business is
more active. The low-priced irons
are hrmer. One correspondent OF
the Iron Age proposes that furnace
men bank their furnaces for two weeks.
This would reduce the production BY
200, 900 tons and it is argued would relieve
the pig iron market OF all surplus stock.
The process of restriction OF output is
practical in the coal trade. 1t can be
successfully enforced in the oil business.
The trust has tried it with the sugar in
dustry. It remains to be seen whether the
iron industries can be so thoroughly con-
trolled that a complete shutdown could be
brought about. The imports OF pig iron
for the first quarter of 1890 were sc. $40 tons
against 49, 41U tons in 1889. The imports of
iron ore, however, increased 212, ,000s to
Az, III tons.
A rair range OF quotation is S1S@iS so for

Another Well Promising TO Rival the Young,
About Entering the Snnd.
Comparatively few oil drillers observe
Decoration Day. Operators have been so
greatly impeded by mud that they are
straining every nerve to reach bedrock, and
the walking beam walked yesterday with
unabated vim. The Augusta Oil Company
seems to have hit another we'll in Coraopolis
1t is on the Woods property, near the road
from Coraopolis to Ewing's Mill. 1t was
said to be showing well. This company's
luck has not been much in that belt, but it
has prospects now of coming out slightly
ahead.
The D. z. Ewing we'll No. 1, Forest
Grove, is ready to bring in. Reports con-
cerning her promise are conflicting. Some
said she promised to be larger than the
Young well, while others said such talk was
ridiculous, but all agreed that she showed
for big one. The Young is reported still
holding up to 800 barrels day, which, for
a we'll two months old, is remarkable. The
forest in the vicinity is being slaughtered
for timber for new rigs, and some farmers
are treading on air. Several wells will be
completed in this district next week.

GREEN MOUNTAIN SOLDIERS.
An Observer Says That the Best Troop
Come From Highlands.

| An Observer Says That the Best Troop.
Come From Highlands.
Lieutenant Peter Leary, Jr., of the
United States army, in writing of the Ma
tional Guard OF Vermont in Outing for
June, pertinentIy asks: ''Does some moral
force dwell in the environment of the
mountains that gives the martial
| spirit to the people who inhabit their
slopes? An observer who was in South
America in an official capacity during the
war between Chilli and Peru in 1881, and
who was professionally habituated to look
critically at soldiers. saw division of
Chilian troops pass in review in Lima
during the Chilian occupation. They were
remarkably uniform in physical quail
tiles, the tallest being not more than
five feet eight, and the shortest not
less than five feet six inches. He pro-
nounced them the finest troops he had seen,
and said that their exploits in the field were
as fine as their appearance on parade. They
were fair exponents of that noble race, the
descendants ofthe Basque people on one
side, and the native races on the other, OF
fathers who went from the mountains of
Northern Spain to marry the daughters of
the mountains of Chill, and to found the
model republic of South America on the
Pacific.
"As a rule the men of the mountains make
good soldiers. From the early DAYS of
Thermopyle they have faithfully stood in
the passes, or, leaving home for service,
have distinguished themselves on every
field they have fought in. Probably there
are no better troops in the world to-day
than the swift-moving Bersaglieri of the
Alpine provinces of Italy. Like other
mountaineers, the soldiers of the Green
Mountain State have always made good
name for themselves. Whether repelling
the attacks of Indians on the settlements of
New Hampshire grants, or marching with
eccentric Ethan Allen to Ticonderoga. or
fighting with Warner at Hubbardton, Stark
at'Bennington, or Macomb on the Saranac,
the Green Mountain boys have reflected
credit on their country"

A Curious Tradition Regarding the Famous
Hereditary Crest.

Curious TRADITION Regarding tho Famous
Hereditary Crest.
The tradition is, that the Black Prince,
having slain John of Luxembourg, King Of
Bohemia, in the battle of Cressy, assumed
his crest and motto. The crest consisted OF
three ostrich feathers, and the motto was,
''Ich dieu" I serve). John of Arden dis
covered cotemporary MSS. in which it
is expressly said that this was the case; but
much controversy has arisen on the ques-
tion. DIR. Bell afirms that the crest is a
rebus of Queen Philippa's hereditary title,
viz, Countess OF ostre vaut Ostrich feather).
Randall Holmes claims an old British
origin, and the Rev. II. Longueville asserts
that the arms OF Roderick Mauve, prior TO
the division of Wales into principalities
was thus blazoned: Argent, three lions pas
