THE WEEK IN OH.

Business So Slow ms to Discourage Oper-
ators-Fiuciuniionso and sales.
The oil market yesterday was even more than
usually unsatisfactory to all concerned except
the Standard. The Pennsylvania product
didn't open until nearly II o'clock. and Buckeye
not at all. Five thousand or six thousand bar
rels of the former changed hands, but the lat
ter was entirely neglected, as it had been all
week, not single sale being recorded. The
highest bid for it was 94224, but the standing
figure was 34l.
ALI in all the week was full of discourage
ments; for although clearings were respectable.
as things go, the feeling was less hopeful than
before of a material improvement, all expecta-
tions so far proving illusive. The result greatly
strengthened the faction favorable to selling
the Exchange building. Fluctuations of Penn
sylvana oil for the day and week, five days, are
given in the following table.

Ou Its Feet Again,

There was a marked improvement in bust
ness in real estate circles last week, not only
in the number of deals consummated, but in
the broadening tendency of the inquiry and in
the disposition Of seller and buyer to meet
each other on equitable terms Values re-
main steady, with no special change either
way. except that good business property is
more firmly held owing to its scarcity. This is
true, also. of choice residence sites in the East
End district.
A real estate man was recently asked by
well-known capitalist for advice as to the most
profitable investment of money. The dealer
responded that the surest and safest way was
to erect houses suitable for working people,
the scarcity of which is a serious drawback to
the city.

THE NEWS AND GOSSIP OF THE CITY

From every quarter come reports that the
business OF the country is on solid footing.
This is distinctively true of Pittsburg, the
volume of transactions being the largest
ever known, and wealth rapidly increasing.
This is independent of speculations, which
is as gauzy here as Casar's ghost to the eyes
of Brutus.
All this is very encouraging, and is an
earnest OF still better things to come, for
there is nothing in sight or prospect to
arouse apprehersions of reaction or even
a halt In the forward movement. The outlook
is favorable alike to capitalist. and toiler.

A Change on Wood Street.
Another Ian dmark is doomed. For some
time the bull ding on the northeast corner OF
Wood street and Third avenue, belonging to
the estate of the late William Thaw. and used
as a printing Office and depot for Fairbanks
scales, has been considered unsafe. The execu-
tors of the es tate have, therefore, decided to
tear it down and erect handsome business
block in its stead. As preliminary step
toward this improvement, the occupants have
been otifed to vacate the premises upon the
expir alton of their leases next April, when the
work of dem clifton will begin. The lot is 44xl2o
This is one of the oldest places on Wood
street. The building has been used in connec-
tion with the printing business for So or 40
years. The present occupants have been there
since 1852 The new building will be six or
eight stories high, and architecturally in keep
ing with the best modern structures in the city.
