This Kansas patriot(?) would prefer
democracy, high tariff, low tariff, fre-

Philadelphia Gas and Electric the Only
Properties Handled-Both Lose Ground,
With Switch and Signal Following
Airbrake and Luster Advance.
The sessions of the Stock Exchange yesterday
were lacking In interest and productive OF
little business Only two properties received
attention, Philadelphia Gas and Electric, and
salesot those were restricted to $50 shares.
The market, with few exceptions. was strong
est at the opening. The subsequent weakness
was due to the pauciry of buying orders. Elec,
trio was down in Boston and this was reflected
here. 1t closed at the lowest point OF the day,
but with good undertOne on the belief that It
will, by some mesns. soon be put on its feet
Mr.. Westinghouse left for the East as confident
ever of success.
Switch and Signal common went off from
l1H at the opening to l01a at The close on the
unsettled condition of the management. and
preferred broke to "a bid on the passing of the
dividend. Airbrake was bid up to 81 and
closed strong at that figure The fractions
were weak and neglected. Third National
Bank of PIttsburg was offered down to 100. 1t
sold recently at 175 The disparity was due to
a weak holder desiring to realize.
Iuster was the strongest thing on the list,
next to Airbrake. The receipt of two gold
bricks from the mine and the presence of Man
ager Pelham to enlighten the meeting to be
held on Friday, we're the bullish influences. 1t
showed an advancing tendency from the start,
and finished with a gain of almost point.
Philadelphia Gas sold up to PA then down to

buyers was notable. Sales were:
First call-2O Philadelphia Gas at 12A, 200

SPRING SUGGESTIONS.

Avoid draughts and sudden changes Of tenn
peratrre.
Do not discard your warm winter clothing too
soon. 1t is better to suffer little inconveni-
ence than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially liable to con-
tract bad cold or chill at this season Of the
year.
A cough or cold contracted between the sea-
sons is the most annoying kind, and may last
through the summer.
IL you feel cough or o cold coming on take
drink Of pure whiskey at once. III will keep
the blood In circulation and IL the best pre-
vcntive against tbs diseases OF the season.
Remember that only pure whiskey should be
taken. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has tho
strongest recommendations from the leading
scieutists and medical mon. IL Ia the only
standard medicinal whiskoy. Take no olher
from your druggist or grocer.

FUTURE OIL MARKETS.
AN oLD-TIMEEs PROGNOsTICs ON THE
COMING SITUATION.
The Outlook Gloomy as to Production, But
Roseate as to Prices the Producers VIII
Soon Receive-He Offers to Make a Bet
on the Subject.

The recent decline of the market was YES
terday the principal theme of conversation
among producers. Upon this momentous
subject there is, as usual, diversity of
opinion among oil men, some taking a rosy
view of the state of affairs ami the bright
prospect Of the future, while others are in
clined to look upon the dark side OF it.
John Preston, of Washington. Pa, an Old
timer in the business, expatiated upon the
present and future situation of the oil busi-
ness to an admiriug group. Monday night, at
the Hotel Boyer. in the following manner:
81 am willing" he said, 60 go upon record
as saying that within the next 10 days the pro-
dUction will decline from the present figures
from Is 600 to &c, COO barrels day. In speaking
of the old fields there scarcely any wells
drilling, while at the same time the producing
wells are gradually declining. 1t would be i'm
possible, on account of the deplorable condi-
tion of the roads. to get a we'll down in West
Virginia within 80 days. while the same will
hold good in almost any other section of deep
territory where there is Likelihood of finding
good wells, or ANYTHING that would justify one
in investing capital in new developments.
The drill has demonstrated. beyond the
shadow of doubt, that the advance territory
on the southwest line at Wildwood is spotted
and uncertain, and will not justify one in paw
ing tho heavy bonus that is asked here, or even
drilling wells without any bonus. If you will
take notice, there is 4 feeling OF uneaSlness and
uncertainty pervading the atmosphere in this
locality, and the general disposition is to let
go. which confirms the theory that there is not
much big oil ahead. You will find that within
period of so OF 60 days the production here
will materially decline.
The alarming state of affairs in the 100-foot
field is making most everybody interested in
this field sick. The production is going off at
such rate that it is almost beyond the COM
prehensIon oil the average oil man. In the face
of these facts, l can't see why the market will
not advance: and l will bet $500 that oil will
reach S211lc barrel within a period of 80 days
from tins date. This offer is open to all cOmers,
not excepting Rockefeller himself.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Animation Caused by Big Export of Gold,
Succeeded by a Return to DulIness-
Short Stock Put Out-Railroad
Bonds Quieter.

NEW YORK, March 17,-In the stock market
the selling from day to day is mostly from the
trading element. though to-day there were
some sales for foreign account, the aspect of
affairs in London and on the Continent not
being the most fattering, the demand for
gold on the other side resulted in the with
drawal OF 81 000, 900 gold for export to-day. The
upward movement resulted in the putting out
of more short stock, especially in the forenoon.
which made considerable more animation in
the market than usual of late during the fore
noon, but later there was 4 return to dullness.
Railroad bonds were more quiet than yester-
day, but displayed the same firm tone although.
as in stocks, there were specially weak spots,
though the final changes generally insig-
niticant. The sales reached s.. .299. O0O. out of
which the Atchisou incomes furnished S270.000
