Sales and Fluctuations.
Business transacted in local stocks yesterday
was not very lucrative to the brokers. All OF
the calls were tame. The active list was about
as narrow as possible. Price changes were un-
important, Total sales were go shares, OF
which 1876 were Electric.
News was as scarce as business. Electric was
steady, opening and closing at the same figure:
In Boston II was bid for 1,000-s hare lots, and
this steadied the market here. There was very
little said about Mr.. Westinghouse move
ments. He Is expected here Today, and may
have arrived last night. The bulk of opinion
favors the belief that he has weathered the
storm. There are those, however, who think
otherwise. The forthcoming statement Will
show which side is right.
Philadelphia Gas sold at 121s, which was the
ruling bid all day. 1t was freely offered at IL.
There was sale of Peoples Plpeage al III, but
il was only ive-share lot. 1t closed steady at
l0I asked. Switch and Signal stood at911 bid
all day, but as this was point below the views
of holders none of it changed hands, The
final bid for Airbrake was a point below the
opening. Some doubt was expressed as to the
dividend but whetherswell founded or not did
not appear. A small fraction was clipped from
Luster. but supporters were on hand to prevent
a material break. Sales were:

Of scarcity of iron in certain quarters. There
has been moderate increase in production in
the South, but there are still many idle stacks.
Prices are up about 75 cents per ton both North

greater advance and others are reported at a
little under the full advance. The tendency of
the market is toward greater trmness, as it is
felt that light production and decreasing stocks

pPEc1AL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsrArcH.
Philadelphia, March 6.-The iron market
IS reported exceedingly dull and it promises to
continue so for some time. The effects of the
recent panic are still felt, as much so in the
iron market as in any other. The local
piS iron market however, has very
firm tone and the advance reported a week
ago as nominal has since been confined by
actual sales. Mill irons have the advantage in
the Improvement, although other grades are
somewhat frmer.
More interest IS manifested in Bessemer pig
than a few weeks ago. owing to an advance in
the PIttsburg market. No transactions have
been reported, except special brands at

WITHOUT A SENSATION.
OIL PRODUCERS PASS A QUIET, UNEX-
CITING WEEK.
Production Steadily Declining, and the
Market Advancing and Becoming Firmer
Wildwood Showing Signs of Weaken
ing-Reports From the Different Fields.

The week closes without single start
ling sensation in the vast oil domain. The
decline in production and the fact that no
new wells of more than ordinary caliber
have been added to The list has advanced
the market and restored confidence in those
who have been so long waiting for this turn
in affairs. There is no question but a continued
advance awaits further falling off ir the pro-
duction and it would seem that Wildwood,
which has SO firmly held by the strangler hold,
shows signs OF letting up and there is no other
field in sight that will he able to continue the
contest when Wildwood has lost its grip.
The McCurdy field, it is true. has shown some
aCgresSiveness. but their latest acquisition to
that pool has not proven a world beater in ca
pacity, and it is Just possible the field will pro-
duce no wells OF greater magnitude than those
which have been completed. The half-dozen
good wells thus far developed are offset by
few small ones and several dry holes. This,
however, is in keeping with the history OF the
fifth sand and only emphasizes the trite saying
that FIFTH sand territory is very treacherous.
The limits of the McCurdy field will be ex-
tended but it is proba ble that il, on the whole,
will approximate The dimensions or prolificness
OF the Wildwood field
AT Mcdonald station, out the Panhandle
road, operations are becoming very active, and
the territory with the work now under way will,
when completed show pretty thorough test.
Graham & Co. have started their well on the
AleAdnuer 1arm TO pumping. anu IL IS making
65 barrels a day.
The Royal Gas Company drilled their well on
the Mcdonald farm on down through the fifth
sand bIt found no increase of oil in that strata.
They then shot in both the Gordon and fifth
sands. but the production was not increased,
and the well will be pumped from the Gordon
sand. The well made several spurts while re-
