The Petroleum Market Persistently Refuses
to Brace Up-Wet Blankets

The Petroleum Market PersistentIy Refuses
to Brace Up-Wet Blankets
The session of the Petroleum Exchange yes
terday was short horse and soon curried.
1t lasted about two hours. The market was
dull and lifeless from the start. There was no
snap in it. The dumping of long oil and the
producers nightmare disheartened the boys,
and they resorted to scalping to earn an honest
penny.
The opening was s4, u under Friday. This
struck the keynote for the day. About 10
o'clock the bulls made feeble attempt to brace
up. They put their stuff up to S413, but it
wouldn't stay there. Tie downward procession
was then resumed and continued until the cor
bined noise of gong and gavel announced that
the meeting was over. 1t was jolly if not
happy crowd that trooped out of the exchange
at noon.
The opening was 81, highest S415, lowest a.
closed S41S, q higher than Friday. 1t was an
of day at all of the oil centers. New York
was quiet as well as the West. Outside news
was generally bullish, but had no effect upon
the market. Fridays clearings we're 2,l4S0O0
barrels.

the stand there appeared to be disposition to
go slow. Bids Of $500 and $3.50 were made,
Young ana Taylor having the field to them
selves.
Slowly the price crept up to s57,5O0, where it
stuck, despite all persuasions to augment it.
The property was finally knocked down at that
figure to w. j. Young. Almost. all the oi men
present expressed the opinion that the price
was bargain.
