moved. The market rallied slightly in the frst

Inc nnal changes are irregular, though the

The Post says: All of the most active stocks
on the list are now at about the lowest prices
since January !, having been: Rock Island
6o7z February l9; St. Paul 671z February 81;
Louisville S41S February 2l; Union Pacific 65H
January 81; Burlington 10l5S February 21;
Lackawanna 1341f January III, and Reading
S5z January 13. As to the character of the
selling which has produced these low Prices
whether 1t has been more largely OF sales on
long or short stock, something may be estima-
ted from the effect it has had to cause declines.
The fact that Rock Island had declined 10
points from its high price on January 4 Louis
Vile points from its high price on January 29
and Bul lington points from its high price on
January n, shows that there has been good
deal of long stock thrown overheard, which has
enabled the bears to cover short sales without
any important upward reaction in the prices
St. Paul has declined only points from its
high price on January IS and Union Pacific
points from It's nlgn price on the same GATE,
which reflects the greater irmness with which
they are held. Notwithstanding some short SELL
ing. Reading is now only points below its
high price made on February I, but the bears
got severe twist in it from 351S, to which they
had sold it down on January 13
Lackawanna has been sold short on the same
reasons as Reading, viz: the bad outlook for
the coal trade, but Lackawanna is rapidly in
creasing its trunk line and Western traffic. and
instead of any long stock coming out as in the
case of Rock Island, Burlington and Louisville
1t is being bought for investment, and for that
reason has been one of the steadiest of the ac-
three points below its high price made on jan
uary 8, and seems likely TO touch its high price
again before any of the other of the active
stocks above mentioned.

A TUMBLE In OIL.
All the Props Knocked Away and Down the
Stuff Goes.

All the Props Knocked Away and Down the
Stuff Goes.
Oil scraped the dollar line yesterday. The
bears had it all their own way. The depressing
influences were rumors-the Ivory well on the
Perrysville plank road and the developments
in other fields being among them. The opening
and highest was 81 045z, lowest 81 0Oss closing
81 O0H. 1t was good day for scalping on the
short side.
Another element of weakness was the selling
Of long oil, holders offering it down on stop or
ders, but there being nobody to take the stuff,
the shorts having satisfied their craving and re-
tired the market sagged from sheer lack of
support.
Although the market was lively especially in
the after part of the day, the aggregate of sales
was small. Tuesdays clearances were 5000
barrels.
The Kanawha Oil company's latest strike on
the Young farm, Little creek is estimated at
loo barrels day. The Horton, Crary & Co.'s
No 8. on lot l70, was doing so barrels. 1t start
ed off at 100. Their No. 4 on the same lot is
about due, and is expected to be gusher. Oil
men agree that the well on the Ivory farm is
good one, but not such producer as reported.
The Swint farm well of the McCalmont Oil
Company, in the Duff City extension, about
three miles from Bellevue and on a line with
the Ivory farm well. is producing 100 barrels
day after being drilled in a little.
The Fort Pitt Gas Company expects its dep
No. in at Groveton in day or two. and is
looking for the coming in of gas well on the
Anderson farm.
Hart Bros Bellevue No. 3 in the Washing
ton field is doing 100 barrels a day from the
stray; c. D. Robins Wilson farm we'll No, g. 80
barrels, and the South Penn Oil Companys'

A big gasser, one of the biggest, it is said,
ever struck in the Washington field, was
brought in Tuesday night It is situated on the
Smith farm, and is owned by the Werner Gas
Company. The pressure is from 500 to loo

BEARISH TACTICS
Brought to Bear on Railroad Shares, bat
With No Marked Encct-sagar
the Only Really Weak


NEW YORK, February 26-The stock market
to-day was qu1et, and left to ITSELF would have
shown an improving tendency as indicated by
the early trading, but the bears got in some
pressure upon Rock Island. Burlington, Lacka-
wanna, st. Paul and some others, though with
small effect only. The general list showed a
strong undertone throughout and the efforts OF
the bears, whether directed to the unloading of
long stock or the covering of their shorts in a
a few shares. was without marked success any
where.
The only really weak spot in the list was
Sugar RehnerieS in which there were rumors
and points that the stock would decline before
the opening of the market. The Chicago peo-
pie were sellers of Rock Island and the other
Grangers to moderate extent, but the bulk OF
the pressure came from the bear contingent,
and the argument that the late reductions must
result in smaller earnings was sent forth in sup
port Of their position. ST. Paul was depressed
below 81 on large business and Rock Island
reached below 50 for time, but Burlington was
strong and failed to decliae to any extent.
There was a little foreign buying of Louisville
and Nashville, but the trading for the interest
was small, and the stock was dull in compari-
son with the last few days, while 1t moved over
only g narrow range, and showed little change
at the close.
The deal in Tennessee Goal seems to be about
over and that stock was quiet and maintained
within narrow limits today the other bitumin-
Gus stocks being almost neglected, with the ex-
ceptiOn of Colorado Coal, which developed con-
siderable animation and strength in the after
noon. Sugar also stiffened mp when the regu-
lar list was weaker, but failed to hold its ad-
vantage and finally closed at about the lowest
of the day. There was some selling also Of
New England and Reading, but both met with

be in good condition. The exchanges were

rency was in fair supply.
En exclamation of the loss of the New York
banks IN surplus reserves is found in the fact
as stated by the Financial Chronicle, that they
represent a much smaller proportion than
formerly OF the funds in the loan market Of
course the lower reserves have compelled
clearing house institutions and especially the
more conservative Of them, to exercise greater
care and less freedom in putting out money.
and that accounts for the smaller offerings.
But besides the banks, there are all of the
Trust companies, many Of the insurance cor

There is great scarcity of hemlock lumber
in this market and prices are up from 81 to
81 80 per Thousand in the past week or two.
The want of snow through the lumber regions
prevents the mills from getting their usual
amount Of stuff to market. A leading dealer
said to-day that not one-half the usual amount
for this time of the year had reached markets.
The larger mills, which are not dependant on
snow transportation, are pushing things to
make up for this scarcity, being stimulated so
to do by the better prices. and in the end full
supply may be obtained.
