An UnaccounfnbIe Break In Local SecurI.
tIes-AH the BOOmS Nipped.
Yesterday was another bear day at the Stock
Exchange. The brokers manifested good
deal of vim, which was encouraging, but they
were all after cheap stuff, and some Of them
got it. All the booms were smashed. CUnces-
sions were made throughout the entire active
list. Sales were 275 shares.
Just why wave of depression should sweep
over local securities at this time, with condi-
tions and prospects favoring an advance, is
difficult to say. In the case of Central Trac-
tion, which was a particularly weak spot, the
talk was of difficulties In the way of operating
the road and the great liability to accidents
from crossed cables. The other fractions also
lost ground. Pittsburg closing at S75S bid the
lowest point yet reached by 1t. Even Pleasant
Valley, which has been a strong favorite all
along. and regarded in the light of an invest
ment, was swept along by the ebbing tide and
dropped fraction. Philadelphia Gas broke
to S21s in the forenoon, but recovered a fraction
before the close. CHARTERS Gas showed good
staying power, in spite of discontinued stock
holders.
Allegheny Heating Company was the only
strong feature advancing to l07 bid. Manu-
facturers' Gas was offered at 90 Electric con-
tinueG in the dumps without any apparent
reason. Switch and Signal and Luster mining
were neglected. La Noria was wanted in
blocks at l215 cents, but holders refused to let
90 at that figure. They Still hope that the un-
expected may happen,

Oil Drops Below the Dollar Line and Stays

Oil Drops Below the Dollar Line and Stays
There.
Oil values, following the course of local
stocks, took decided tumble yesterday, drop
ping below the dollar mark soon after the OPEN
ing and remaining on the neither side of it the
rest of the day. 1t was the first time that the
price ad been below a dollar since November
q of last year.
The market opened weak at 81 OO1<. 1t
quickly sold down to 9S1sc rallied and sold back
to about 99c, then broke to CSC, firmed up
trife and closed at 991sc bid. The extreme
fluctuations were: Opening 81 O011, highest
81 OO2s, lowest 971sc. closed $3.50.
The weakness came from New York and Oil
City, and also from some local longs getting
tired and dumping their stuff. This, in the
absence of buyers, there being no support
from the shorts. and no outside interest, was
more than the market could withstand. The
feeling at the close was weak. as shown by
bids tor puts, which were cents below the
market. Notwithstanding a great amount of
chinning very small amount of trading was
done.
After the hammer fell, broker said he
thought the Standard had engineered the
break. Activity in the field, which will be
greatly increased when the roads settle, prob
ably had as much to do with the slumps as
anything else.
Jennings q Co. struck sand Wednesday night
at their second well in the Grafton field, but
IRE broke out and destroyed the rig. The well
is on the South farm and gives evidence of
being good one. The well on the Ivory farm
was doing ten barrels an hour yesterday. Three
more good wells have been struck on the Fer
guson farm in the Shannopin field. One of them
was turning out 20 barrels an hour yesterday.
Another made $50 barrels in the first "a hours.
With these three good strikes at Shannopln
came in duster, Mccoy & Co.'s wildcat, south
west of Shipping Point, being the unfortunate
one.
The Kanawha Oil Company's No. /, on the
Young farm. near the Lockwood gusher in the
l00foot district of the Butler field is not so
large as reported. The Hundred-foot Oil
Company's Cable farm well is a 5Obarrel pro-
ducer, and the South Penn Oil COmpany's
VIM. Cashdollar farm well Is completed and
good TOR but 10 barrels day. Brennan &
Hite's No. on the Brown farm in the Brush
Creek extension, is 75barrel well.
Poth & Peppers No. g. in the Washington
held, was struck by lightning, and the rig and
tank burned. The well came in two years ago
as 100-barreler and was doing 20 barrels day
when oVertaken by misfortune.

THE STORAGE QUESTION.
Transient Facilities Abuudaut-WhOIesnls

Caused by the City's
Rapid Growth.

Rapid Growth.
An interview with one of our leading mer-
chants published in this column of Wednes-
days DISPATCH, as to the need of storage
houses the central part of tte city, is liable to
misinterpretation. The facilities for transient
storage are fully up to demand. The advertis-
ing columns of THE DISPATCH are sufficient
proof on this point The Pennsylvania Storage
Company, SO, 40 and Al Water street, furnishes
every facility in this line. All classes of mer-
chandise and household goods are afforded
storage to any extent and for any period de-
sired In addition to this are the Union Stor-
age Company, which is just completing down.
town warehouse; the Hoevelers', near the
Union depot, and that of the Dilworths, and
no doubt others.
The jobber who was quoted in the former in
terview reports that there is no lack in the ia
clities now furnished for storage purposes.
The point he aimed to make-and if it was not
made in the article referred to, the fault Is not
with the merchant-was that our wholesale
merchants, as rule, are greatly cramped for
room; that their warehouses are not, as gen.
eral thing, capacious enough TO carry the neces-
sary stock of goods for these times. Said he:
"1he wholesale merchants of the city are gen.
orally lacking in facilities for storing goods.
We did not build big enough years ago, not
having any idea of the city's future and are
now in the condition of the pan spoken of in
the Bible who had no room to bestow his fruits
anu MS Eoous II NAieHouSeS Coulu We IenJeu
we could bridge over our present difficulties
until such times we could enlarge. But for
the present there is difficulty the part of
most of the jobbers of the city in securing the
space needed for the carrying on of their grow
ing trade. All wholesale men are crowded for
room.
when the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
built their immense freight depot at the foot of
Liberty street many years ago 1t was the gen.
eral opinion that large part of the space was
entirely useless. Now it is crowded to its ut
most and building twice the capacity would
be fully occupied. Soitis with our warehouses"

HARD CASH,
The Local Market in Good Shape-New
York Losing Her Grip.

While there is not a plethora of loose
money in this market, there is enough for all
business purposes. and gilt-edged collateral is
readily discounted att per cent. Checking and
depositing were active yesterday. The ex-
changes footed up S25S9, 494 90 and the balances
s4Ol, ,3l1 20.
A call from the Controller of the Currency is
daily expected. and local banks are paying out
as little as possible so as to make good show
ing.
The hardening of the money rate in New
York will have very little effect on the country
atlarge. In fact, New Y ork does not absolutely
rule the money market. Time was when
fnanciers all over the country took their cue
from the metropolis; but that time has gone by.
The expansion Of business West and South has
made it necessary to have steady and reliable
supply of funds in those sections not affected
by the exigencies of Wall street. and this has
built up a number of distributing centers-
Chicago. St. Louis, San Francisco, New Orleans
and Others-where rates are made TO conform
TO the local demand, and are not continually
subject to Eastern manipulation. This has
proved Of great advantage to business and
especially TO the agricultural community.
The money rate is more stable in Pitrsburg
than in any other city in the country. for the
reason that this is a creditor city, which means
that the flow of money is steadily in its favor.

however the bears selling il down on the story
that the courts would interfere with the pay
ment Of the next dividend. Tennessee Coal was
rather weak again, notwithstanding the publi'
cation of . bull article upon the property in an
influential morning paper. The Grangers were
less active and were traded IN over narrow
dull and heavy generally at close to the lowest
ngures. The final changes are in most cases In
the direction of lower prices, but the only ones
OF Importance are losses of l1s in Sugar and
per cent in Tennessee Coal.
Railroad bonds were again Quiet to dull.
and to-day again displayed general dropping
tendency. though the declines were for the
most part insignificant and the only feature
was the selling of Reading down below the
stock again. The sales of all issues reached
81, ,OOl 900, but this business was very evenly di-
Vided between a large number OF bonds. The
principal losses we're Central Railroad of
Georgia 5s. p at SO, and Reading 3ds, at 3S1z.
The few gains included Louisville, New Albany
and Chicago firsts, to 1l9.
The Post says: The early prices in London
were Il to per cent higher for all stocks than
they closed here last night. and it was mainly
to this fact that the higher prices here this
forenoon were due. There is no reason to
doubt that with the easier money market there,
London has become buyer of stocks, and that
one of the causes of the decline in foreign ex.
of bankers bills drawn in payment for
stocks and bonds. The closer money market
here this week has probably been the most
etfectual obstacle to an advance in the stock
market which would naturally follow London
buying, and though this may be relieved to
some extent by the payments of interest on
United States bonds on Saturday, March ], the
continued absorption of the circulating
medium of the country by the treasury is
likely to keep the money market working close
until in April.
But. so far as the stock market is concerned,
it is already so much over-sold, on the pros
poets of tight money, that unless there should
come some severe pinch in the money market
strong upward reaction in prices is probable
before long.
