Severe Hammering Fails to Make Much
Tu,pres.fou nm the 0il Market.

Impression on the Oil Market.
The oil market yesterday was active and at
times quite animated. Another advance to-
ward the dollar line was made, the price reach
ing 923Sc. The bulls and bears had rough
and-tumble time of it all day, the result being
a drawn battle, as the market held up under
the severest hammering it has experienced for
some time. The opening figures were 9l1sc.
Good buying soon sent the price up to 925sc,
the highest of the day. Heavy hammering
forced it down TO 9iK and slAc, where II hung ,1g
until about o'clock, when it broke to 9lc, the
lowest price reached. Good buying then caused
a reaction to 9l34c, followed by another period
of depression, during which 9l11c was reached.
This was the closing price. There was wide
difference in the opinions of brokers as to the
outcome. The bears think the market Will
slump off, while the bulls maintain that 1t will
reach still higher figures. Nearly all of them
admit tnat the situation is decidedly bullish.
