NEW YORK, April e3.-The stock market to-

any heavy declines or wide fluctuations, the

A BOAT CHASE AT COPENHAGEN.
American Bank EmbezzIers Hauled Up By
the Danish Police.

American Bank EmbezzIers Hauled Up by
the Danish Police.
COPENHAGEN, April 23.-The British
steamship Oakdale, commanded by Captain
Brown, arrived in this harbor to-day, hav-
ing on board two persons who are very
much wanted by the police of New York.
They are Oscar Creamer and James N.
White, alias Burkman. According to a
New York dispatch these men are wanted
for stealing $500 from Dix & Phyfe, bank
ers and brokers of that city. They had, it
appears, filled in blank checks and cashed
them at the banks, Creamer being in the
employ of the firm. 1t is about midnight
night when the Oakdale steamed into
Copenhagen. The police were on the look
out and did not wait for the steamer to come
up to the quay.
Creamer was also awake, watching for an
opportunity to escape from the vessel.
Creamer realized his position in an instant.
1t appears that boat had already been low
cred from the stern of the steamer in order
to carry some Of the ships officers ashore.
While the police were climbing into the
steamer he and Burkman ran to the stern.
With the agility of a cat they seized q rope
that was hanging down from the stern
and slid into the empty boat Burk-
man followed. At first the Copen-
hagen police were held fast for moment
with surprise. The boat with Creamer and
Burkman aboard was fast disappearing in
the darkness. Then the boat disappeared
presence of mind, were in their boat in an
instant. Every Dane is fish in the water,
and the fugitiyes were no match for the
Danish police. The police boat gained on
the fugitives and soon overlook them, and
after brief struggle, the Americans were
taken in charge and were soon lodged in
cells pending extradition proceedings

THE WEEK IN OIL

Russian Competition the Principal Bear
Card-Cause of n Slump.
Trading was light and the range of fiuctua-
tions' narrower. The market was steady to
firm up to yesterday morning, when it weak
ened on a statement, presumably from in
side sources, that the average price OF oil
this year will be less than in 1891, due to
active competition from Russia, which is
making heavy inroads on the European
markers for the American product. As the
average price of oil in 1891 did not exceed 65,
there does not seem 70 pe much encourage
less. Fluctuations are shown in the follow
ing table:

MDONALD'S PRODUCTION GOES UP

The interview with an officer Of one Of the

The DISPATCH yesterday morning was about
the only topic OF conversation among all
classes OF oil men yesterday. They all ad-
mitted that the outlook Tor better prices was
not Of the best, but all in all they arc
hopeful lot. and many of them believe
that before the summer is over they will be
getting at least Is cents a barrel for their oil.
as being an offer OF the Standard producing
should be acted upon by the producers as q
whole. The Standard producing companies
have been combined against incurrIng
any extra or heavy expenses which are
not absolutely necessary, and this is taken
by the independent producers as warming
generally for themselves that they may not
expect an advance in prices within the next
80 days atleast. There is now almost an ab-
solute shutdown in the fields outside of Nc
Donald, and when the wells now drill
ing in the latter pool are fin
fshed up the outlook is good for
voluntary shutdown without an agree
ment.
As long as wells can be had at Mcdonald
which will make from 20 to Is barrels an
hour, the operators can afford to drill even
at 25 cents barrel. 1t takes at least lO,O00
barrels of oil to pay Tor a well at present,
