Eet with the refined commodity The Canadian OF Aome
demand for refined oil may be pnt down at tOO od ~

but our estimate much the truth To procure
this amount of refined, 100000 barrels OF craze VIII
aa%nualv 99s oo and tbe drence is the left on
the producers hands calling for market. tSo E
some one may ask could not rehners seek the Ec
rOpean market as well as neighbOrs, who t Nllhh
few weeks have had monopoly OF that e&lehslNe
ercal feldi The reason was our rehners We're HIao
10 produce an article that could at all compete with the
Pennsylvania product How 10 deodorze our crude ho
British kindred would not bear the smell and naturally
preferred our ne!ghDors PIo9ueLoI wO WHEN cbieved
and inOfensive. And now this triumph mas Deeh
by labor, expense ana patient experimenting NOI
has been shortened so that what Dy Vne O
cess took day and half, two days, can now De &C
comphshed in one day. FOR the Canadian perleetty
deOdOrzed OIL the foreign market is now as open as LOT
the refined Oil prepared in the united states, anu cOo
the great impulse has just been given to the fero
leum trade. Moreover, II Is contendeI tnaO ou nc" Ia

when Its qualities fully understood hkey 10 E,
the preference in the foreign market us tbird
consists in greater light giving power u Ouns st

busy at work preparing for the demand which they are
unable to supply. Other refners are merely disulng
tit il for expectation Europe As yet all the mpr9yea
OIL has been purchased from the rehners here by New
York firm, and they ready to receive mucR IAtseI
quantity than as yet be produced Other buyers
moreover are In the field and so long as our lgnCIs eau
dispose OF their product readily, they VIII nave 10
occasion to think OF making direct shipments across e
Atlantic on their own account In view OF inc OPSStIs
up Of the foreign trade, new rehneres have been Ou
aud the distlng capacity OF others enIugeu,' on az
immense still has been erected at Petroa' capa1Ve W
being charged with 1000 barrels Of crude OIL which can
be of week The idea now is for large suns ln
preference to the small ones at first used, IL Is IN the
st that the color got rather by slow distauon IN
large vessels the oil is found to be more ehectua as
COOred that rendered t5dter Ike which is one OF the
properties which commend refined to the new narket
along with the deOdOrZing which Is purely chelCal
result At present 500 barrels are shipped from
local rehnees for the European market by way OF
EewYork In week ten days this quantity VIII De
doubled AT present there in all % rehueres IN az
ferent localities, IA of them being in the immediate
nelgbbOrhoOd OF London. These altogether employ go
men, each receiving from Sc to 50 week Ii may Do
stated addition that after SO cent have been taken
off the crude oil refined about cent OF another
oil can obtained ut for lubrcatng purposes or lot
wool spinning The residuum, commonly called tar IN the
stills Is now employed union with steam for firing pur-
poses in the distng process one barrel OF II being
equal to cord of wood. Thus 1t Will be seen that time
has brought economy into the art and the Improvement
in the refining process has introduced our product
into market that promises 10 call for an unlimited
supply.
