This simply confirms the argnmegtd

that one importing house has sold fara

of $1,000 pieces of fine worsted CLOTH

The confidence game that Mr..

as it is bound TO be very interesting

can use the other they are To form a
partnership. Mr.. Cleveland wants

Chickamauga.

Thirty-two years ago-Sept. 1921,
ls63-sOld Rosy and his army of the
Cumberland, who had been following
Bragg from MurfreeSboro since the
preceding January, were treated to Il
surprise on the banks Of Chicka-
manga Creek. Rosecrans knew that
lis enemy, who had evacuated Chat
tanooga in haste, was somewhere in
the hilly country to the south, and
planned to fall upon him from sew
eral directions and compel a surrcn-
der Of the whole rebel army. What
Rosecrans did not know was that
Longstreet's corps Of veterans from
Virginia were already reinforcing
Bragg, and when he found it out, the
union army was making good time
away from a lost field. Had it not
been for pap Thomas and the
Fourteenth Corps, our boys might
not have stopped at Chattanooga
that night. Many are yet living who
were among the visiting tourist there
then, though most Of the visitors have
passed away. This month there will
be another great gathering Of visitors
near Chickamauga, but instead Of the
armed soldiers of thirty years ago,
ii will be composed OF their sons and
daughters-the Epworth League,
missionaries Of peace and good will.

Price for tho Pennsylvania Product stead
lily Rises.

PirrsBuRon Pa. April ll.--Oil is
still on the boom. The Standard
raised its purchasing price for Penn
sylvania oil Wednesday from sl.2T TO
si.35 This is an advance of % cents
cents a barrel in the last week. In the
speculative market sales were made ON
the Oil City exchange at sl.s0
The cause of the excitement Is gem
orally admitted TO be sheer exhaustion
OF the known fields for what is called
Pennsylvania oil The price is expect
cd To keep steadily rising dur
ing the summer, and some producers
are sanguine enough TO believe that
1865 will see SO oil. The price must
stay up now until the production ex-
ceeds the consumption, and unless some
at present unknown field is struck
that cannot be. The opening
of new wells and the developing of old
ones will only have slight effect ON
the production, and even II a new well
is found IL VIII be months before the
supply can be tapped and put on the
market in quantities sufficient 20 af-
feet prices much.
The Pennsylvania oil over which this
excitement has been created has a
parafline base. and that property In it
Is as much responsible for the advance
as anything. Oils produced in other
parts OF this country and abroad have
black asphalt base, and OF that kind
there is enough. The peratiine proper
ties make the Pennsylvania oil dis
tinctive. The oils produced outside of
Pennsylvania are not fit for illumi-
mating purposes and this also makes
the Pennsylvania article more valu-
able. Lima oil is being refined for IL
Illuminating purposes, but il is believed
the Pennsylvania crude is mixed in IL
before il can be used.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE steady adj
vance in oil is leading TO very much
brighter expressions in regard to trade
by the Roclxefcllers. The export de-
mand at advancing prices continues
large and trade reports from
the interior are unusually encourag-
ing. Mr.. Rockefeller, referring to the
fact, told friend that he thought it
was the forerunncr OF more activity
and advancing prices in most OF the
other markets. lie thinks that trade
is Frightening in all directions and
that rich men are steadily gaining
more confidence.
