OIL NEWS.

Sistersville, w. Va, June Al. c..
McManus is erecting rig on Inc Vii
lers tract out at Middle Island, and will
start to spudding- about Saturday.
The Fisher Oil company are erecting
another rig on what is now known as
the Tuel farm, just south of this city.
Hosford & Holden brought in a small
we'll on the Thorn farm, just back Of
Friendly, this morning.
The Devonian Oil Co. has drilled in
their Kyle No. 6, in the Indian Creek
district, and have another small pro-
Queer.
Quite a surprise was tie coming in
dry of Capt ]. T. Jones' well on the c..
P. Russell farm, or Bread Run, yester-
day afternoon. This well is surround
ed by good many producers, and 1t
being buster cannot be accounted for
by men well up in the business.
Reports from the Devonian's VIM.
Stealey No. 5, at Wick, and their Bull
man No. 3, in same district, is TO the
effect that they had been drilled in and
will make splendid producers. Late
news from the Bullman No. corrobor-
ates the earlier report and estimates the
flow at 225 barrels. This well has been
due for several days, and is another big
gusher for its owners, who seem to have
struck it rich at all their many loca-
tons. The prospects are that when
this well is drilled deeper an increase
will be experienced.
o. o. Inglefield purchased to-day a
complete set Of rigging and tools to put
down well near Hebron, Peasants
county.
The Waynesburg Oil Co. are making
splendid Roadway with their wells back
of Belleville, Wood county, and are
now putting in GA inch casing.
w. NJ. Gillespie received, at Mounds
vile to-day, a complete set of materials
to erect, rig and drill well in that yicin-
ity.
w NJ. Graham, who is putting down
the Yoho well at Proctor, is having con-
siderable trouble on account of smash
ing the stem. To-day it was smashed
for the fourth time, due to the hard
stuff they are drilling in.
The Eastern Oil Co.. who have been
fighting the owners or leases of tine
Harness property before the Courts for
some time, were given a decision to-
day. The Eastern Oil Co. were the win
ners and will commence at once the
erection of several rigs and start them
TO drilling as soon as rigs can, be got
ten in shape.

THAT ~REBuKE~ TO THE PRESIDENT.

THAT "REBUHE" TO THE PRESIDENT.
The reckless and constituencies par
tisans of the Republican press are re-
joicing over what they are pleased to
call the 'rebuke" Congress administered
to the President by passing the River
and Harbor bill over his veto.
Rebuke for what? The Presidents
sole aim in vetoing this measure was
10 keep the expenditures within tho
limit Of the governments receipts. This
bill, calling for an expenditure of $780,
coo. 900. far overs;eps that limit.
There are projects of Improvements
covered by the River and Harbor bill,
such as the Improvement of the Mon
ongahela and Ohio rivers, that are of
undoubted merit and necessity. But
the President could not weed out the
good from the bad in the measure. He
had to accept or reject it as whole.
But it is also a nesting place OF imme-
date and prospective jobbery. The
President pointed out that the bill would
involve expenditure. present and pros
pective. amounting to SSO,OCO,OOO; and
that appropriations for other purposes
would PROBABLY reach s5OO,OO0,OOO. To
the authorization of such vast outlay,
at a time of great business depression
and in face Of failing revenue, much of
il Tor purposes of doubtful utility and
not related to the public welfare, the
President felt constrained to interposa
his veto.
Congress. on the other hand, seeing
more good than evil in the bill, and
prone to look favorably upon all meas
ures spending money lavishly. passed
the bill over the Presidents veto. An
appropriation bill. carrying millions of
dollars to be distributed on coast and
river lines in all parts Of the Union has
an immense number of supporters in
side and outside the halls OF Congress.
And a veto was never flung in the face
of q more reckless opposition than
President Cleveland has had to en-
counter.

The large iron paint works at Keyser
which have been shut down for long
time are about to resume operations at
full time. The industries that were
silen, under the Mckinley iniquity and
have been started up under the Wilson
bill are legion. Scarcely day passes
that does not add TO their number.
Were it not for the terrible financial
panic which the country was thrown
into as a result of the Harrison-Sher-
man Mckinley ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
regime. and from which it has even yet
not recovered. the country would to-
day be enjoying probably the greatest
era of prosperity in its history.

the mills OF the United States probably
produce annually not less than 10000
coo barrels Of flour; and all the mills in
the Northwestern Combine scarcely
turn out fifteen per cent. OF this big
total. The ultimate fate Of combina-
ton which excludes So per cent. Of the
production OF the country is barely
problematical. The Combine" millers
may think tina; they can hold out against
the competition OF all the outside mills
in the country; but unless all experience
be valueiess as a guideto the future, their
iron-clad agreement must eventually go
to pieces.

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Oct. 21.-The SUMS cotton re-
view says: Spot cotton here was unchanged.
Liverpool was unchanged on the spot for
mlddlings. The port receipts were 1855
lower, recovered the loss and advanced l to
points, but reacted and closed steady at a
net decline of l to 8 points, with sales OF
800 bales.
Prices fluctuated within an extremely mar
row range today and at the close were prac-
tically unchanged from last nights final
quotations. The trading was quiet and al
most wholly local Liverpool was easier and
prices here declined at the opening. But
the semi-weekly interior movement proved
to be smaller than had been expected, and
in the absence of any decided pressure to
sell the market slowly rallied. Still later,
however, prices weakened again and closed
at small net loss for the day. The re-
ceipts at the ports were about 10000 bales
smaller than a week ago.
The semi-weekly receipts at thirteen inte-
rior towns were 49, 900 bales, against ITO, 600
bales last year.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 2-There was gloom
In the bull camp today, wheat losing 31sc.
Lack of support from shorts was apparent.
Had there been any interest in the opening
on that side there would have been a better
demand and probably less disastrous con-
clusion The cables from Liverpool were
not the sort to enthuse and yesterdays
weakness at San Francisco but emphasized
the growing weakness. Longs sold freely
all day and toward the close the pressure
of offerings became tremendous. Pyramids
Wed with each other in their efforts to Sc
cure profits before they entirely disappear
ed. When Bradstreet's report of 100000
bushels increase in the worlds stock was
issued, there was temporary indecision, fol-
lowed by panicky selling, and in the final
moments prices cut little figure, the main
object being to get sales. Liverpool quoted
1a to I'd decline, and continental markets
opened with no excitement following. De-
cember wheat opened from 77A to TIC, de-
clined to 75kc, closing at 754c, with the loss
per bushel lower.
Corn-The weak position of corn was de-
monstrated by the rapidity with which
prices dropped when deprived of the sup
porting power of wheat May corn opened
at 2S%c, declined to N7sc, where 1t closed,
13sc under yesterday. Cash corn was weak
and 1c per bushel lower.
Provisions-At the opening this market
was fairly steady, partly firm hog market
at the yards tending to steady, things, but
the slump in wheat soon carried uneaSfnesS
into the pit and prices declined on moderate
selling. January pork and lard closed 12lac
lower and January ribs 7is0l0c lower
