Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 27.-The oil and
gas shares attracted considerable In
terest for several reasons yesterday.
It became known early during the SEES
sion that the Caney River Gas com.
pany had struck a new well in its
Oklahoma field, which created a de-
mand for those shares, that resulted in
boosting the price Of that stock to q
new high record. At the opening 1t was
inclined to be weak. but 1t quickly raj
lied from 41h, its lowest price for the
day, and dose to 42A where It closed
on sales amounting to 6S5 shares. Pure
Oil was particularly active, and 1t also
acted in accordance with the news.
In its case the street seemed to be I'M
der the impression that the company
would declare q dividend, and when a
telegram from Philadelphia, where the
directors met, did not s~ubstantiate the
supposition, the price in the trading
was sharply affected. Quite a large
amount OF the cnarss were sold during
this downward movement. AT one time
it fell to 1917, but recovered slightly
later in the day, closing at 10 n sus-
tanning o loss of 81 per share. The to"
tai number sold was 1888. The other
issues in this group dt dnot attract
much attention in the trading, and
what little was done did not help them
TO improve their positions.
The glass shares displayed a more
or less interesting situation. Quite a
few traders, for instance, appeared to
be possessed with q violent anxiety
to sell American Window Glass Ma:
chine common, which naturally forced
down the price, and at one time 1t sold
down ia AK. During a rally it recover.
cd a trifing part of this loss and closed
at 44h, having suffered a loss Of s.. 2S
for the deg on sales a%ggregating 1875
chares. The only other. glass issue to
get into action was United States
Glass, and it sold of : quarter Of a

Washington's refusal to accept Ber-

chance to buy st. Louis Fed players.
The only place Kauff has anything
on Tobin is in batting, Tobin is as
fast on the bases, plays fiy.hit balls
better and throws better.
Tobin batted 1893 i'll the Fed league
last season. He made more hits than
any. other player, 1856. His nearest
rival was Ed Konetchy, who made
.179.
Tobin ranked second in the number
Of bases made on his hits, thi.d In
scoring runs and fourth in homers.
Combination of the two st. Louis
clubs gives the Browns a pretty sweet
looking outield. Besides Tobin, Man.
ager Fielder Jones will have Armando
Marsans, the Cuban, who also comes
over from the Fed club; Shotten, Red
Walker and Onward.

SIT was not until the last hour OF

records for the 1915 crop were made.
in the wheat market today, the fourth.
time In four successive days. The
temporary fresh strength today was
based mainly on adyices that consump-

Corn and oats swayed with wheat.

Of locust damage in Argentina were
