The Market Starts a Run Probably to
the 90 Mark.
PITTsBURa, April 16.-Oil has passed
the 80 mark and reached the first quar-.
ter post ON the way to SO. Yesterday
the Standard Oil company opened the
day by announcing 81 as its price for
credit balances. This was an advance
Of 20 cents over Saturdays figure. The
opening bid on the exchange was 50. 05,
but the first sale was at $2.1 In two
bounds it was up to $2.35, the highest
price yet reached ON this phenomenal
rise. The trading ON the exchange was
less active, but more feverish than last
week, and the fluctuations were very
mild. From $2.35 the price quickly re-
ceded to $2.13, then mounted in a
twinkling to $2.241S, and then went
back again to 1920. The sales during
the first half of the day were about 90,
600 barrels here and 10000 barrels in
Oil City, portion of the latter being
for Pittsburg account.
A dispatch from New York stated
that refined had been advanced cent
per gallon, making the price 1016 cents.
This is equivalent to about $l.50 per
barrel ON refined since the beginning OF
the month

A REHEARINe PROBABLE.
Petition Filed In the Supreme Court
Administration Favors 1t.

Petition Filed In the Supreme Court.
Administration Favors 1t.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-Copies Of the
petition asking a rehearing OF the in
come tax question have been handed
around to members Of the United States
supreme court.
The petition for rehearing sets forth
that while the court has decided two
points of the law, as to rents and mu-
nicipal bonds, yet no Judgment has
been announced. authoritatively estab-
fishing any principle for interpretating
the act ON the following three points:
/. Whether the void provisions in
validate the whole act.
2. Whether, as to the income from
personal property as such, the act is un-
constitutional as laying direct taxes.s
3. Whether any part of the tax, if
not considered direct tax, is invalid
for want of uniformity.
The petition for rehearlng then re-
cites that in the early history of the
supreme court, rule of practice was
adopted requiring, if practicable, con-
stitutional questions to be heard by a
| full bench. 1t then asks for hearing
before full bench.
III COuCiublOn pOblOlOu uShb tIlub
the cases be restored to the docket for
reargument on the questions upon
which the court was evenly divided. In
case this is denied, the petition asks
that the court below may be directed
to determine, first, whether or not the
invalidity of the statute in the respects
already specified renders the same alto
gether invalid. and second, whether or
not the act is constitutional in the re-
spects not decided by this court
Dissatisfaction with the decision OF
the court seems to be general, and it is
believed that the administration will dc
oil in its power to secure rehearing OF
the case. The government, however,
will not consent to reargument OF
any particular question involved but
will insist that il arehearing is granted
the whole case be reargued The only
point decided by the court meeting with
approval Of: the government Is that
exempting from the tax incomes from
state and municipal bonds.
The rent exemption is being vigor
ously q tackled, and the contention ii
made that IL the late decision stands
