The oil interest IL rather upon the dec line.
there being at present falling off in price
of crude, and general stagna.ion in deve-
opment. Considerable uneasiness exists 90
to the future of the trade; the accounts OF
tho enormous production of nearly 26OOo
barrels daily in Pennsylvania, has had the
eject OF lowering the price Of refined 10 New
York to 1Gls cts or conr, 9 It is dificu'
Tor tho oil interest of Canada to conpo
foreign markets with Psunsylvania. Iec

part OF the wells are pumping and soma 10
ones going down. But with crude u, 81 90
or LEGS, small wells must nee eaarily sto.
while the profit from the latter Class viii
not warrant operations 10 rick ae heFe.L-
iore.
A spasmodic effort Ia now being made to
have expenses reduced by causing engineer b
to look after two or three rigs in neighbor-
hood. We fear that in some caces this viii
prove ga penny wise and pouod foolish
policy, as one "smash" would make q bal
ance tho other way. But q more seriOos
affair may occur with loss of lie as well as
property. II is difficult to serve two mes
tiers, and one or the other may como to grief
We visited a rig few days since and found
fifty pounds OF steam up, good fire on
well idle, and no person in sight; VIC tried
10 rise the safety valve, hut it was 90
go, aud we quickly placed the damper aud
loft the premIs Ises, not liking tho look of ,bo

plosion and loss of life, wha. would colou"

comparatively free from accidents afoupd

tion. Tho excuse of necessary economy
