on Operations In January:

In Il, monthly review Of oil operations
for January, the Oil City Derrick says that
during the month Of January oil opera
lions underwent a decline. The number
Of wells completed was 276, falling of
from the December number Of 1O5. A
still further reduction Of the volume OIL
operations was expected, and had opera
tors north moved as slowly as they did In
the lower country, less activity would
have prevailed in the fields at the close Q!
month Of yexation to the producers and
some speculators. The number Of dry
holes finished was proportionately large
40 being completed. The daily produc-
ton was 81, 02O barrels, which is a de-
crease Of 1900 from the preceding month
On the last day Of the month SSl wells
were drilling and 262 rigs up and build

ALTHOUGH the armed vessels OF all
other nations have been rigidly excluded
from the Dardannelles, American war
vessels have entered she straits and sailed
up 10 constantinople on three occasions
without protest from the Porte. The first
instance Was that Of Captain Bainbridse,
who entered with the frigate George
Washington in 1900; the second, frisaic
ottwenty guns; in 1910; and the thirdIthe
friga,s Wabash, Captain Barron, who in
1855 passed up to ConstantinOple, de-
Tending his action upon the ground that
the United States was not one Of the
signers of the treaty of Paris. He was,
nevertheless, received in very friendly
manner, the fact that he represented a
government outside Of the European sys'
probably operating in his favor.

goods shall be sold; also, Of making It
obligatory on all those asking credit to
furnish written statement OF the amount

The resolutions also provided that the

ture trade and kindred branches In this
country. The resolutions and condition
OF the trade were discussed at length, and
