ALLEGHENY COUNTY OIL,
The Wonderful Development Putting Money
In Farmers Pockets,

California in its palmy days did not furnish
tunes made than are now coming to light every
few days in the oil fields of Allegheny and
Washington counties from 20 to 80 miles south
and west of Pittsburg. A farmer from the
neighborhood of Clinton, who was in the city
to-day, reports that the oil speculators are max
ing him daily visits with a view to leasing ter
ritory at prices which would have been consid-
cred fabulous year or two ago. Said he: ION
the Ferguson farm, which starts about mile
and half north of Clinton. there are now 40
flowing oil wells. and only one well on the en-
tire tract is dry. ALI wells north and west of
this tract have so far proved to be busters or
dry wells.
Clinton, around which great expectations gath
cred, proved within a few days to be duster
and blasted many bright expectation. Up to
the very last day the signs were most promis-
ing. but all signs failed The Albert Ferguson
oil well furnishes story of success which has
had no equal in our section. A little more
than year ago John Ferguson, one of the
pioneers of our section, passed away at the
working tanner and farmer, and though he
accumulated competency in his long life
time, his only son Albert has gathered more
spoils in the one year which has interviewed
since his fathers death than the latter did in
his long and labOrious career. Not more than
500 feet from the old tannery is an oil well which
IS now Welding 5UU TO bUU barrels OF oil every
day. The profits of the present proprietor of
this tract since October last have been SIS. 900,
and he has lately refused 1925 600 for his oil in
terests The Ferguson lands are rough and un-
productive as a rule, and $40 an acre would
have been considered good price a year or
two ago. The present yield from this land is
not less than $500 daily. This is better than the
good old days of yore, when mere subsistence
was eked out by hard toll in the corntield and
tannery."
The Allegheny and Washington county pio-
neers had little conception of the wealth be-
meath their feet when they undertook to make
to themselves humble homes on the frontiers.

Good potatoes are very scarce in the market
and prices have advanced sharply within day
or two. as our quotations will disclose. Still
further advances are extremely probable, and
that at an early day. Apples and tropical fruits
also show an upward drift. Oranges in cases
are up 81 in the past week. Apples do not adj
vance, but are very firm at quotations. The
strong markets for potatoes and fruit are ex-
pected to bring more liberal supplies next
week. Of late markets have been rather bare
in both lines. Eggs are quiet at quotations.
Poultry is scarce and firm. Cheese is active at
quotations. Creamery butter is moving freely.
but there are no indications of higher prices.
In fact. markets are lower than they were last

EVERYTHING BEARISH.
OIL Rapidly Approaching the Eighty Cent
Line-FIeId News.

oii Rapidly Approaching the Eighty Cent
Line-FIeId News.
The oil market was dull and heavy yesterday.
The shorts were pretty well covered Wednes-
day. and there was nothing to support it, All
the influences were bearish. Refined was of
at Antwerp and weak in New York. Pttsburg
and Bradford sold in the forenoon. In the
afternoon Pittsburg was light buyer. but the
quantity of stuff handled was inconsiderable.
The extreme fluctuations were: Opening, oS24;
highest. SS5s; lowest, s5sl; closing, S51s.
Wednesdays clearances were $4,000 barrels.
The Mcpherson farm well west of Sewickley,
On which some tall hopes were based. has come
in as dry hole. The Ivory well, at West
View, is holding up splendidly. 1t is now doing
l5S barrels day by the gauge. There is some
talk OF drilling it in, and some oil men say it
viii either spoil the well or increase its pro.
ductlons to 500 or 600 barrels a day.
The Union Oil Companys well, on the Nc
Cracken farm, at Claysville, has come in as
panys No. 2 on the Gourley farm, is in the
Gordon, and good for 100 barrels day.
T. W. Phillips No. 16, on the Jacob Stamm
farm, at Glade run, in Butler county, is flowing
at the rate of 800 barrels a day, and his No. is
doing 100 barrels day 1t looks as though the
old Petrolia field was going to experience re-
vival. A well drilled on the Allen farm at
Campbell station, on the Pittsburg and West
ern Railroad, has good showing, the hole hav-
ing tlled up 400 feet with oil. Another well will
be drilled close to it.
Hopes of another new oil field in Butler
county may be realized at Grove City, where
several test wells are to be put down. A Sec
tion of territory 10 miles wide and 20 miles
long, lying between Mercer and Grove City,
will be developed should anything be found IN
the first test well.
Barnsdale & Moore's No. on the Hammat
farm, in the Eureka field, is Is feet in the sand
and flowing 300 barrels day. The Borcher &
Mccullough No 2, in advance of the Hammat.
is 15barrel well.
Two drillers were terribly burned by an ex-
plosion of gas at the BrIdgewater well, near
Cumberland w. Va.
Many Pittsburg operators are turning their
attention to the oil fields OF Wyoming, where
great things are expected. They are located in
the central part of the Territory, and have
never been developed, although oil was discov-
cred there several years ago.

THERE is good movement in local railroad
bonds at full prices. They are considered a

hogs, against 325. 900 for the corresponding time
in 1859.
THE news from the Argentine Republic is
such as to inspire the gravest apprehensions.
The premium on gold is once more up to 134
