PETROLEUM Still active
Through LabOrs Of the Standard,
Prices Arc Still Kept Up.
JUMP OF TEN CENTS A BARREL
Tho Big Monopoly Controls Most Of the
Certificates, Leaving Little for
Speculative Purposes The
Plunscrs Arc Timid.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 1S.-Ths start
ling feature in oil circles today was the
advance Of 10 cents per barrel, or 260
posted by the Standard at their differ
ent purchasing agencies nOtwithstand-
Ing yesterdays big slump in exchange
prices. The speculative market opened
at 255 bid for the May option, or S5 cents
lower than the price fixed by the Stand
ard.
After 1t became known, however that
the monopoly thought pretty well of
oil the exchange market was bid up to
257R. While this advance was taking
place on the exchange very few trans
actions were made. the price being
simply bid up by offers for small lots
of from 1000 to 5000. Towards the
close the market again became weak
and oil was offered down as low as 240
just before o'clock. In this wide
fiuctuation in price probably not 10000
barrels We're traded in.
The fact that the STANDARD controls
the bulk Of certificates leaves very few
outstanding for speculative purposes.
These few, however, seem to make very
wild markets. 1t is plain to be seen
that the holders of these outstanding
certificates get very badly frightened If
they hear a rumor that the Standard Is
liable to reduce the purchasing price
The Standard, however, is taking all
oil offered at 260 and did a greater busi.
ness at the local purchasing agency to-
day than at any time since the boom
began. One firm sold a batch of $4,000
barrels that 1t had been holding.

Overwhelming Vote.

Overwhelming Vote.
Harrisburg, Pa, April 1S.--The house
met at 10 o'clock. A large number Of
senate bills were reported from COM
mittee. The bill authorizing the super
intendent of public instruction to ap-

normal schools, which was recalled
from the governor, was amended by

There was an exciting scene when the
Muehlbronner bill, providing for the
unconditional repeal of the oleomar-
garine law, came up on second reading.
Owing to the confusion which pre-
vailed, the clerk could not hear the re-
sponses on the roll call, and the cor
rectiOn of the record was the occasion
of much Ill feeling among members,
who crowded around the clerks desk.
The bill was overwhelmingly defeated.

The speaker (Mr. Lytle) desired to
know how Mr.. Kunkel voted, in order
to learn whether he was competent to
make such motion, whereupon Mr..
Kunkel said that there was no record
of the vote, and he was not obliged to
say how he voted. The chair conceded
this after some discussion. and his roll
call on reconsideration proceeded It
