A Oh, sntic OIL Deal

\ little more than wear ago one of the
greatest oil deals ever mi,de in the
world was cou.ummate,i between the stan
darl oil Company and the leading pro-
ducers of Pennsylvania.
In the summer of lS>1 the price of
crude petroleum lauguished around 50
cents barrel. figure ruinous To all hut
the best equipped and most fortunate of
miners for oil. \ large stock above
ground furnished the opportunity for
bear operators To deprrss values in the
speculative market, new field Of oil had
been discovered in ohio whose posi-
hilities were unknown, and the work
of the drill in many Pennsylvania
regions was uncoveriug wells that
yielded 5000 barrels day. Negotiations
Ia prevent any further depression of the
oil industry were opened between the
leading producers of the West and the
Standard people, which resulted in an
agreement for the stoppage of drilling
operations aud the shutting in of third !
of the current output
The producers Carl led out their part of
the contract and accomplished reduc- |
ton In stocks above ground of about |
Il, 600, eco barrels. Since then the output /
of oil has never approached the cousump /
tive demands to within 10000 ia l5.0o0 |
barrels day. The Standard agreed to
give the producers who observed the
agreement 100000 barrels OF oil at 81
cents. the profits on which were TO BE- dis
tributed whenever called for at the
end of the shut-in year. From
November. ISIS, this "call' WAS
extended at the convenience of
the producers, and in the latter part of
January last the Standard agreed TO ex-

The Biideford Times questions the accu-
racy of an editorial paragraph IN the Port
land Express stating that the bills of the
Yale crew for provisions during the two
weeks they were in training at New London
were 5000 and that they consumed daily
eighty pounds Of beef, forty pounds of chops
and fifty pounds, of steak. The Times
figures out that according to the reckoning
OF the Express the sturdy Yale men ate
one hundred and seventy pounds
of meat day, or twenty seven pounds for
each man. This doe, seem to be case Of
goracity vs. verscity. The Times should
remember however, that there were proba-
bly, good many sDpes about the club
house 1t doubtless took considerable beef
for these.

the state of affairs there, after close investigs-
