The Grandin q Berry Bros. we'll at
Balltown was shot last week with q

increase the production was not en-
tirely successful. The amount of gas
was considerably increased, but it
seems the oil supply did not increase.

the shooting. These same parties have
commenced building q new rig about

vantage Of every puff Of wind, and won by
three days.
Then there was lively work, The ship
was loaded in the shortest time possible,
and before Astor's vessel, which had arriv-

weighed anchor, and, with full cargo Of
tea, set sail for Sandy Hook, arrived in
good time, got ship slongside the wharf,
and began hoisting out bis cargo. which
was sold at auction on the spot.
This glutted the market. for the con.
sumption was comparatively small IN
those days, and when Astor's ship came in
