cipally for the lower grades. There was a bet
ter inquiry from the short interest for this
month, many Of whom have held off hitherto

Peter Wright d Son, Of Philadelphia, write as
follows:
In tie regions petroleum has remained steady, Of

opinion now that the rumor OF another thirty days,

the stoppage has injured the wells in any way. In
these districts which have been worked for some tine
is very much feared that many Of the wells viii be
