The summer of 1882 must pass into
history as having witnessed the most
memorable doings in the annals of the
petroleum trade of Pennsylvania. In
the Scientific american for July 22, 1882,
reference was made to the results which
followed the opening. in May, of the
new oil deposits in Warren County,
Pennsylvania. A most ruinous policy
was followed by the producers, who sue
ceeded in obtaining a lease upon the
prolific sand rock. Five wells to the
acre were pierced in the heart of the
rock, and when signs of weakness were
noted in the flowing of these wells, nitro
glycerine torpedoes, of forty quarts each,
were exploded in the bottom of the well.
The latter, in number of cases, yielded
when first struck $500 barrels every
twenty-four hours; at least one pro-
duced 5000 barrels, and q 500-barrel
well was regarded as q small affair.
Other and older oil regions were COM
paratively deserted. and in August last
the new field, flom less than 200 wells,
was yielding $4,000 barrels Of oil daily,
bringing up the production Of the entire
oil regions to the unparalleled figure Of
los, 900 barrels daily. and sending the
price below fifty cents per barrel. But
it was the fable Of the killing Of the
goose that laid the golden egg modern
lied and enacted on q stupendous scale.
Early in September, after the best
wells had been ''shot" BY torpedoes re-
peatedly. they suddenly ceased pro-
ducing in q way that caused Z revision
of feeling and intense excitement among
all interested in producing petroleum.
BY October the daily production had,
in all the regions, fallen off nearly 25.-
600 barrels, and for the first time in five
years, production and consumption
nearly approached each other. namely
10000 barrels per day. Prices advanced
and the excitement atthe Oil Exchanges
of Pittsburgh, Oil City, Titusville, Brad
ford and New YORK Bity was so great,
and the activity SO intense, As to be phe-
nomenal. The sales at Oil CITY during
September reached 153, 900. 600 barrels.
On one day alone September Is, the
sales were over 100000 barrels.
Meanwhile seventy wells in the choicest
territory ceased producing, and early in
October the new territory was not yield
ing over 5000 barrels daily, and the price
had mounted to one dollar. The records
of the oil trade show but feeble parallels
to last summers development, and the
rise and decline of the Cherry Grove,
Warren County, Pa, regions is unique
bit OF oil history. = Scientific American

DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, August 15.-Through orders
and steady demand for many miscellaneous
assortments the character as well as the vol
ume of trade is very satisfactory, the very
wide distribution of the large production of
desirable fabrics in execution of previous
engagements contributing to the good per-
centage of goods on movement. Exports of
domestic cotton goods for the past week, 1891
packages, and since January, 1882, total of
104,700 packages. against $1,000 the same
time last year, 70, 134 packages in 1880, and
1924 in 1879, which shows fair increase
over any previous year, with large contracts
in course of execution. Lancaster, Written
ton, Gloucester and Plunkett fancy ginghams
advanced 10 SIC, and Berkshire to 7ac. In
all seasonable fabrics the combined shipments
in execution OF purchases on orders and on
contracts give very good amount of bust
ness, which is of legitimate and wholesome
proportions.
