OIL under heavy offerings to 9O3a, rose to

little movement after this, but the pre-.
vaiing tone was firm and the market
rose once or twice clearing top prices of
the morning but in assurance of any def
nate foreign news, there was no dlsposl-
ton to force the market in either dircc
ton, There was a strong feeling during
most of the afternoon session but the
