INTERESTING OVER THE LEFT.
BearIsh Influences Make Dali and Weak
OIL Market.


The oil market yesterday was dull and feat
ureless. with a weak undertone throughout
The latter condition resulted from selling in
New York and Oil City, another drop in re-
fined, and indisposition to do much so near the
end Of the month. Toward the close New
York reversed its tactics and pulled the price
up fraction. The fluctuations were: Open
ing. 9Ssss; highest, 9s1z; lowest. 81S; closing,
s73<. As on the previous day, Pitrsburg was
small seller, but trading was very light. Dollar
oil Is seldom mentioned. The last time that
figure was reached was on the 17th. The low
est point in the same time was 961z.
Intelligence has been received from Baku to
the effect that q permanent decrease is show
ing itself In the production of naphtha in that
region, and that there Is a probability of very
serious crisis shortly coming on. The naphtha
basins Of the Apsheron Peninsula and Bibici-
bat are no doubt still very productive, but the
yield Is no longer to be relied on. Almost all
the factories at Baku, inclu ding NJ. Nobel's
are suffering for want OF the raw product, the
price OF which has risen from to 2 kopecks to
8 or per pound. Many n ew borings have been
made, but the results by no means realize the
hopes or expectations of the spectators.
Messrs. Rothschild's representative, the man
ager of the Caspian and Black Sea Naphtha
Company, has receiv ed orders to proceed to
Faris after thorough investigation has been
made of the state Of affairs by the company's
engineer at Balachona.
