DROPS OF OIL.
A Quiet Market. but Prices Reach Higher
LeveI-Clsarances IncreasfnR.

A Qu1et Market but Prices Reach Higher
LeveI-Clearances Increasing.
The oil market was quiet and steady yester-
day. There was gradual and, with one ex-
ception, uninterrupted advance from opening
to close, which was at the highest point of the
day. The special weakness referred to was
caused by selling in New York
The business was of moderate proportions,
and mainly incidental to shifting the option
from January to March, The evening up of
deals made the demand. This was the only
element of strengih noticeable on the surface
There was some bidding for cash oil, indicating
a shortage somewhere on the bear side. but
there were no sales. or very few. The range
was: Opening 81 0511, highest 81 O61S, lowest
81 Oh. closing 81 061S.
Yesterdays clearances were csc. 900 barrels.
Those for the week were 3155,OO0 For the
previous week they were 3OS OOO
The Ferguson farm in the Shannopin field is
prolific source of oil supply 1t is turning out
wonderful amount of the fluid through the
several wells that have been struck on it, and it
comes to the front with still another. The
Painter well No. 2, on the farm, is in and
flowing at the rate Of so barrels day. 1t is
owned BY the Fisher Oil Company and Painter
Bros. The McCalmant Oil Company's Stone
Sypher well, in the Shannopin extension. has
made some good flows and may be o 60-barrel
well. Oil men are much interested in this
venture, as there il probability of its opening
up some valuable new territory,

Railway Securities Safe Invesfment-The
CoaIers and GranErrs.
John NJ. Oakley & Co. Wall Street Special.l
NEW YORK, February Lit is a common re-
mark that it is often more difficult to keep or
invest money than to make it. Accidents some
times favor the investor, but as 4 rule they
operate against him. No species of property is
secure beyond contingencies. Houses may
burn down and the insurance companies be un-
able to pay. The tide of CONNER ce may stead
lily move against piece of real estate and
greatly depreciate its value. Defects may be
found in titles. and the forger and the thief
may there practice their villany as we'll as in
stealing the funds OF banks, or the assets of
merchants.
Good railway bonds are certainly favorite
form of investment, one reason being that they
are easily cared for and lightly taxed, while
the chances of default are as small as the fail
ure to rent real estate. Next to these gilt
edge' bonds are what may be called silver
edge" second mortgage or income bonds or
preferred stock. Then come of course specu-
latiVe issues, which may be called "copper".

The proceedings at the Stock Exchange yes
terday were in striking contrast to those wit
messed in Congress during the latter part of
the week Brokers were harmonious, but
lacking orders, they were not in position to do
much business. Still, the sales were above the
average for Saturday.
There were no important changes in quota
tions. Philadelphia was the strongest thing
among the natural gassers. All the rest had a
bad louk, CHARTERS particularly, on account of
alleged mismanagement All the street rail-
ways we're weak. Airbrake, Switch and Signal
and Luster developed additional strength. La
Noria showed no recuperative power, and
holders seemed anxious 10 be rid of it Bank
and insurance stocks were firm at close to pre-
vious quotations.
Sales for the day were 400 shares. Those for
the week were 479S, for the previous week they

Judge Hart, Solicitor of Internal Revenue,
says there are several hundred cases pending
before that bureau involving the collection of
taxes on capital and deposits of bankers. This
law has been repealed, but the recent decision
of the Supreme Court settles all claims in con-
troversy in favor of the Government The de-
cision was in the case of David Richmond. of
the Southern district of New York, against the
United States, and involved the question as to
what constitutes banker as defined by statute
Richmond contended he was only stock
broker and not subject to taxation. The Court
held that any person who has a place of busi-
ness where stocks, bonds or promissory notes
are received for discount or sale is q banker
within the meaning Of the internal revenue
law.
Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, ranging from S931S per cent; last loan,

1t has been reported about town this
week that the Missouri Pacific officials
had asked the mayor and council 10
give that company a right of way
through the streets of Baxter Springs
and that the city dads had refused to
grant it. There is not one word OF
truth in the report, The request for
right of way has not been made, but
whenever it is made we are certain
the city officials will be only too hap
py to grant the railway anything that
it may desire in the way of right of
way and depot grounds. Such reports
are silly in the extreme.
