Wall street special to John M. Oakley d Co.:
The two most important features which affected
the stock market this week were the strikes
and money question. The latter, which threat
ened to unsettle things generally, relieved
bv the prompt action of Secretary Window in
offering to pay par and interest to maturity for
SO, 600 bonds If presented before September
!. Nearly the entire amount has been re-
deemed. and money is again in good supply
Still, the future Of the money question is not
altogether settled. The Treasury will have to
do more than this, and will have 10 continue to
make liberal concessions to the holders of
bonds.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, with no loans, and closing offered at 2per
cent. Prime mercantile paper, 6@7. Sterling

TIE COURSE OF STOCKS.

Business Rather Slow. but Values Held Up
-Gaius and losses.
Stock trading during the week was rather
slow and unevenrful. Several disturbing In.
huences affecting money and labor were pro-
motive Of caution on the part Of investors.
These seem to be passing away, making bet
ter outlook for the future. The principal
events we're the boom and boomerang in Lus-

tricks Of the trade.

THE WEEK IN OIL

Three Days Without a Trnde In Buckeye
Fluctuations and Clearinzs.
There was limited trading in oil last week,
and, in spite of bullish conditions, opening
prices OF Monday were considerably shaded at
the close of yesterdays session Of the Exchange.
On three days of the week Buckeye was
passed over without a transaction, showing
that it has not fairly gained it's feet. 1t may
improve. One price for speculation ana another
for consumption keeps outsiders confused and
restricts fluctuations, without which activity Is
impossible. The best bid for 1t yesterday was
S2Hc, with none offered. Fluctuations for the

MORE CONVINCING TESTIMONY.

Among the extensive fruit raisers in the
suburbs about Pittsburg. none are better
known than Mr.. and Mrs. @. Ooolbach, Of
Garrack In recent conversation with the

My nose wonld discharge. and then sometimes
be stopped up, so that could hardly breathe

Overhead vs. Storage System.


Overhead Storage System.
The Wilmington City Railway Com
pany has completed the work on the two
squares connecting the electric lines at
Tenth aud Market and Eighth
and Market streets The wire and
track were tested yesterday morning.
and gave perfect satisfaction. The only
difficulty was the striking Of several high
stones against the apparatus under the
car, but this was remedied by cutting
down the distractions.
The Riverview cars now run to Eighth
and Market streets and back Five of
the large cars are ready, and when the
sixth is wired. continuous trips will be
made from Fifth and Union to the River
view terminus.
The cars are provided with 80 Sorse-
power motors, which are required for the
Eighth street hill. The present River
view cars have 15-horse-power motors
and will not 60 up that hill They will
be used on the Msrket street end for
rushers. The new cars will be powerful
enough to carry ,trailers.
The relati We value and usefulness Of
the storage battery system as compared
with the overhead system opens an inter.
esting field for discussion. The burden
of proofs in favor # the overhead system,
for it's cheapness, light apparatus, sure
work and ease OF repair. The danger from
the system is minimum, as less than 500
volts are used, and that quantity Is
never fatal.
The use of the storage system is
coupled with an immense quantity of
heavy lifting. Batteries Weighing two
tons must be taken out and charged three
times in an average days run The ap-
paratus is expensive and short lived
