For the time being crude petroleum
seems to have settled down to about G2l
cents per barrel at New York, and refined
to cents per gallon. The average price
Of the crude product last year was 81 81 a
barrel; the highest price ever paid was
$50 barrel in 1850. The cause Of the
present depression is the enormous aver
age yield Of $4,000 barrels day, against
$4,000 in April, $4,000 in March and 49,
100 a year ago. Nevertheless the sinking
OF wells goes on recklessIy, and there is
likely to be still further decline till the
