OIL on THE JUMP.
A Drop to Fifty. and a Rally 70 Above
Seventy.


Seventy.
There is hope for the oil trade yet. On
Friday, when the price dropped to 80, traders
and operators alike were in despair at the
prospect Of the speedy retirement OF tne
certificates, leaving nothing to trade IN.
Yesterday the unexpected happened. IL
was the liveliest day in the business LOT
year or two. The excitement was starred
by the announcement that the price at OH
City had shot up from 6054 to 60. A broker
Immediately bid 81. An order was received
about this time to buy at 631a.
At this jucture many of the old-tlme
scenes were re-enacted. Excitement spread
among the stock brokers and the lobby IN
creased. There were no sellers. All were
buyers. Later the market advanced to 65A
for cash oil here and 70L for September at
OH City. Still no one had any to sell. An
advance in SO short time of 20 cents a bar
rel and no transactions was the great sur
prise of the day.
The cause of this sharp and quick reaction
was attributed to the Standard taking the
premium off of all field oil, making certin-
Gates and oil equal. This it is believed Dy
some, will send buyers back to the ex-
changes, and thus permanently stimulate
trade, This is the view many local traders
take of the unexpected turn Of affairs.
A few, however, fear there is snake IN
temporary. A decline with premium on
will put producers in a worse position than
before.
Refined was again marked down in New
York to 6.60c. 1t was steady at London az
6ssd, and at Antwerp at l6f. The drop IN
price was due to increased foreign produc-
ton. Daily average runs were So b4S; daily
average shipments, 4946

New York, Aug. e-The announcement
was made late yesterday that the Standard
Oil Company would discontinue the pay
ment of q premium in fresh oil in the flelus
and pay the same price for National Pipe
Line certificates that 1t does for fresh oil.
Thepremium in fresh oil has been 15 cents,
and in consequence of its removal it was ex-
pected that crude oil certificates would be
marked up. This expectation was more
than realize The opening was strong at

fluctuations being made, and the market
closed strong at the highest point reached.

rAILINGs OF THE NATIONS.
An Old Russian Legend to Account 70
National Shortcomings.

Among the many legends that obtain
among the Russian peasantry the following
is one of the oldest: They believe that
when the devil was cast out of paradise he
fell upon the earth, and that his body was
broken in pieces, which were distributed
among the various countries. The peculiar
characteristics of the people of each nation
are supposed to have originated from this
circumstance Thus in Spain fell the
DEVILS head, which accounts for the pride
and arrogance of that nation.
In Turkey his hands fell; therefore the
Turks are covetous and rapacious. Italy
received the heart of His Satanic Majesty,
which is said to explain the amorous tenn
permanent of the Italians. 1t was Ger
many's lot to receive the stomach, hence
the Teutonic races have become noted for
their vigorous appetites His feet fell in
France, and to this is attributed the quick,
agile movement of the Gallo race-espec-
tally in pursuit of the fair sex. God pre-
vented Russia from receiving any portion.

out unless aid is rendered, and that has
been denied, so Mr.. Eel rides several times

Sensations of tho Dfvor,

The first sensation that diver feels Is
one of sudden silence. He is shut out from
the hum of life and hears only the labored
pulsation of the pump. He knows this to
be his breath of life. He next thinks of his
ears, for as he sinks deeper the air pressure
increases, and in its efforts to reach an equi-
librium the drums of the ears are momen-
tarily strained The relief is to swallow

COLUMBUS CLUB LOOKING FOE A SITE

A New York manufacturing company, with
q capital Of sl2 900, 900, has decided to estab-
Esh q large branch Office and exhibition
rooms in Pittsburg. As preliminary step
the promoters have leased from Black 8
Baird the Mckee property at the corner Of
Wood and Diamond streets, occupied before
the fire by J. R. Weldin & Co., at an annual
rental of s., 600. The work Of rebuilding will
begin this week. The new structure will be
only two stories high, but this will afford
ample space for the new enterprise, which
will at once come into actual competition
with at least one big local corporation. The
nature of the business cannot be disclosed
for few days, as those interested DO not
want to give their rivals the benefit Of
premature publication, but everything Is
fixed and there will be no hitch.

beauty of his growing tail feathers, en-
countered hippopotamus taking the
evening air by the bank Of the rlver in
which he was conducting his business.
SCATTERING insolently by, the bird re-
turned the sedate beasts salute with a
negligent nod, affecting at the same
time to yawn. my young friend" said
the hippopotamus, in tone of reproof,
''if you must indulge in that practice
let me at least show you how it is done
by those who have pursued it from
youth" With these words he split his
face, and, laying back the lid, exposed a
cavern which presently closed on para
lived ostrich. Then the level beams Of
the sun fell with superhuous ilIumina

already lighted up by sanity smile.
