Major Charles T. Doxey is the best au-

There is a daily output OF oil in the In

making an annual income from oil OF about
81 000,0oG. or double the amount that IS re-
ceived from gas lines and Plants. The Major
adds: while have no data to figure from,
the amount of money that has been invested
in oil will venture to say rs not one-fourth
as much as has bee-l invested in gas.
"Oil development is in its infancy. and l
believe the production will reach fifty thou

three years. making the annual production
from oil about $I5.cc0.co0 on the basis or
present prices. or seven times the amount
that is now realized from gas plants.

expected Monday. Similar expectations re-

Butchers and Gamers cattle have ad-
vanced more than beef steers and they
promise to go still higher If the receipts

chiefly above $50. and some choice S5-lb

Dry Goods.

FALL RIVER Mass, Jan. u--Business
continues dull in the print cloth market,
and the prospects are that there will be
no increase in activity for some time 10
come. Buyers are reported to have all the
goods on hand that they want, and until
they can sell what they have will not buy
more goods at any price. When trauing rs
resumed, ii is almost certain that 1t VIII
be at prices under three cents, the present
quotation. Cotton will not go down 10 any
extent, but cloth pieces are expected 70
drop very decidedly. Manufacturers would
sell very freely at the market price IL
openings were offered. All the sales of the
week were odds, and the basis of trading
was under three cents. There were a few
odds and the rest ran through to the first
of April for delivery. The deliveries were
very low, and stocks included 5000 pieces,
odds picking up somewhat more than regu-
lars. The sales ahead are so slight that
there must be a big increase in stock each
week until active trading is resumed.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE market for dry
goods scored an Improvement during the
week just past, and seasonable dry goods
moved forward in fair sized lots. The pri-
mary market was dull, and the large num-
Der of distant buyers arriving had no ef-
feet on general conditions. Staple cottons
were at a standstill, while only a moderate
order demand was recorded in spring lines.
The demand for woolens OF every descrip-
tion was very small. In imported lines
prices hold steady The print cloths market
closed dull and firm at &c. Operations for
the week were as follows: Production. 220.-
900 pieces; deliveries, 125,000 pieces; sales,
