AASAeNt market Price For the PRODUCT
In Thirteen Years.
PITTsBURG, April 9.-Oil took anoth-
er squirt today, and at noon the price had
jumped to 140. This is the highest
market since 1882. At the opening the
Standard advanced the price for cash oil
cents, by offering $1.27.
On the exchange May option opened
at $1.29 and rapidly advanced to 81 341155,
and then broke to $1.32. Then it ad-
vanced to $1.40 and remained at that
According to the last monthly report
there are only 565 certificates for 1000
barrels each outstanding, and that a
Pittsburg firm owns half of them.
The main reason for the advance is
that producers are not selling direc ! o
the Standard, but are putting their oil
into the pipe lines aud taking out certifi-
Gates. thus making on them the differ
ence between the cash price and the
speculative figure.

HARD TO DRAW HONEY.

The Former State Mine Inspector Refus-
ed 81, 800 He Claims.
Ex-State Mine Inspector Anthony C.
Gallagher of Pittsburg, is trying awful
ly hard to get 81, 800 out of the state
treasury without making the kind of an
itemized voucher demanded by Assistant
State Auditor Wiley w. Cook.
AS state mine inspector Mr- Gallagher
drew salary of $4,000 year from the
state, but as has been customary the last
few years the last legislature allowed
him deficiency appropriation of 81 800.
This appropriation was in the mis-
cellaneous appropriation bill which has
a provision in it that the auditor shall
pay out only such amounts as may be
necessary on itemized vouchers of the
various claims
Mr.. Gallagher a few days ago pre-
sented an ordinary voucher for the full
amount of the $500 appropriation, but
the assistant auditor told him he must
present an itemized voucher
Yesterday Mr. Gallagher again called
for his money and presented a statement
of expenses for travelling, expressage,
hack hire, livery, postage and other
things amounting altogether to So, ,367 g.
The assistant auditor thought the
itemized statement should show where
the mine inspector travelled and how he
used the postage as is shown by the
vouchers of the other departments which
are now being audited.
Assistant Auditor Cook refused to pay
out the 81, 800 until he consulted the at
torney general and MIR. Gallagher went
away angry because he did not get the
money.
Assistant Auditor Cook says as long as
he is in charge of auditing state accounts
