SENATOR ELKISS
Not n Candidate For Prcsidsnt-Hls View
on tho silver Question.

.>ot Shuuiuhtc Eor AFctueut-hh views
on tho silver Question.
Los ANGELES. GALA. April ll.-"Be.
ing 4 senator is good enough for me-"
said Hon. S. B. Elkins when asked
II there was any foundation for the
statement made in a dispatch recently
sent out from Cincinnati that the IVES,
Virginia senator would be in the race
for the presidency at tho next Republi-
can convention.
The dispatch based the senator's
chances upon his extensive business
connections in the cnst, which would
make him strong in that section and his
silver ideas would attract the west.
As to tho latter. Mr.. Elkins said:
~ am uuqualifiedly in favor OF free
silver and shall work with the west in
an endcayor to give it its proper place.
As to bow tho question can be best
handled. ! can say nothing now. Put
me down rs solid silver man though.
"You can authoritativcly state, how.
ever. that am not candidate for the
presidency. for, as said. am perfectly
satisfied with representing West Vir-
ginia In the senate"
Senator Elkins left for San Francisco
this afternoon.

rrrrsnuroH, April ll.-Tho oil excite
msns hero continues unabatcd. Tho
Standard this morning put their price
up 10 cents TO 81 so. On tho exchange
cash oil opened at 81 so aud sold up to
81 60. May options opened at 81 so bid
and the first sale was made at S. 60. 1t
then broke to 81 IS and rallied to 81 60
on sales. 1t was then bid up to 81 6S
without sales at o'clock. The opening
sale was cash order for 10000 barrels
msl 80, and the next sale was made Mt
s. 56; The first sale in May options
was at 81 GO.
This was the highest oil had been
since 1871. when |. sold as high as 3.5Sf.
Speculation which heretofore has been
confined to national transit certificates,
has been transferred to Mellon pipe
line certificates aud sale OF 10000 bar
rels was made here to-day.
The price rose steadily until the 81 50
mark was reached, when it broke TO
s. 60 and closed at that. Spectators
unloaded largo amount OF oil at 81 10
and that 10 alleged 10 have caused the
break. In four days oil has advanced
s. per cent. The advance mado by the
standard was Is cents and should n
similar advance he made to-day oil
would be selling at twice the average
price OF last year.
There is much gossip here about the
orEa hns ~ l1ty ho ka.
mark would be crossed inside OF sixty
days. Some say that the Standard is
making the advance to stimulate Wild
eating and bring in new territory. An
other claim is tnat the Standard Is put
ting up the price OF crude and holding
down the price OF refined below the cost
oi production in order to freeze out the
Independent Producers and Retiners'
Oil Company. That organization is
bo!ding meeting At Butler tonight,
sut refuses to give out any information.
So lar this week the advance amounts
:o 10 cents per barrel by the Standard
aud 43 cents on the exchange for the
May option. To the producers OF West
ern Pennsylvania aud West Virginia
this means s37 800 a day more than they
sere getting for their oil las: week. or
.a increase OF Sl.125,000 per month.
The total market value OF the product
Is nearly s., 500, 900 per month. 1t has
greatly stimulated activity in the field
and no: only furnishes additional work
!or hundreds OF oil drillers, but has also
Increased the demand for iron and steel
supplies consumed in the business. So
lar the consumer has been taxed an nd
ditional cent per gallon for his jllumi-
Eant but further advance is almost
certain.
SEw ioRx, April ll.-Another jump
ID the price OF petroleum. to-day brought
the price OF pipe line certificates up to
81 80, the closing price at Oi! City, and
IN this market being 81 7il. On Janu-
arg !, the price was 95c. Tho price OF
refined oil in barrels has increased in
ths same time from s. 50 to 50 80. Since
Saturday pipe line certificates have in-
creased in price from 81 l6 to 81 so and
refined in barrels from s. so to 50 50.
Today'a prices wero said to be tho
hehest on record, considering the
phenomenal increase i'll price and com.
