This was the highest point touched during
the week The lowest was 55c, showing a

Refined closed at New York at 62O@6 s5c;
London, sgd; Antwerp, 1857. Runs for the
week increased 10 600 barrels; shipments did
little more than hold their own.
Those who some time ago predicted 80
cent oil had little to say yesterday. Produc-
Really it is less, and by the ordinary laws of
trade this should keep the price up to its
present level or better.
A New York authority is quoted as saying
that the output of the Baku field is dimin-
fishing and that developments in India are
not up to expectations. This Is favorable to

HOME SECURITIES.
RESULTS OF THE WEEKS OPERATIONS
ON THE LOCAL BOARD.

A Fair Amount Of Trading ~ . Generally
Higher Range OF fValues-Condittons and
Influences Indicate an Active Campaign
Near at Hand.
The past week was an eventless one IN
speculative circles. Trading was OF falr
proportions, footing up 1915 shares, out
new features were conspicuously absent.
Conditions and influences affecting the mar
ket were favorable. The impulse was up
ward, and nearly everything on the active
list finished the week either higher or with
better backing. The only sale yesterday
was that of 20 shares Of Pleasant Valley at
2S
Closing prices for tho week. as compared
with those of the previous Saturday, show
the following changes: Arsenal Bank
gained 1; Allegheny Gas Company, II; Cen
tral Traction, H; Pittsburg Traction, n;
Pleasant Valley, q; New York and Cleve,
land Gas Coal, q; Luster, u; Switch ana e
Signal, n Pittsburg Gas Company lost a;
Phfladelphia Gas, u; Wheeling Gas, l; Ctti,
zens' Traction, "a; Electric, H; Underground
Cable, u.
The results Of the weeks operations are
encouraging, and although business cut 40
great figure it was sufficient to show that
there is money for investment in such
stocks as are handled on the Pittsburg Ex-
change. Shrewd operators in stocks ana
bonds feel confident that the newborn
booms at all points to the eastward must IN
evitably give an impetus to business here.
Final bids and asking prices follow:

Railway bonds were less active than
shares, the comparative insignihcance of
the dealings in Atchfson incomes account
ing for a large part of the falling off. There
were other active issues, however, Texas
Pacific seconds, Western New York seconds
and Northern Pacific IS being prominent.
The movements in the list were not of i'm
portance, although the market regained its
strength, even the active speculative bonds
failing to score any material change:
