t OIL NOTES.
THE or. MARKET.

Producers were never more
thoroughly Disguised with the
cratic attempts made by the Stand
ard Oil company 10 rob them, than
they are at the present time.
Without cause or reason, but Just
as was predicted by the Review,
and just as might have been ex-
peCted in the future, the Standard
cut and advanced prices. AS the
Review advised its readers, the ex
port quotation for refined oil was
used as basis for the fluctuations
in tie price for credit balances.
When it is known that the Standard
Oil company sell export oil to them
selves and that they are the export
ers, the producers can easily deter
mine 10 what methods they resort
to excuse their system of robbery.
The market manipulators have
acted like gang Of school boys IN
their attempts to justify their ac-
tons.
Nothing they may do in the way
Of manipulation of prices can CT
will change conditions, ard until
remunerative prices are paid there
will be no material increase in pro.
duction. There is no excuse for
the Infamous attempts to rob
the producers which the Stand.
3 I'd have preeticed during tle pest
year or more. Their con6scation
of properties illustrates to what
measures of commercial prostitu
ton they will resort.
In their efforts to discover new
pools or to keep up production the
Standard companies are rushing
the drill; meantime production has
been steadily declining. Another
month and the fall shipments of
crude should begin to increase. All
Evidence from the fields and from
the whole Pennsylvania and West
Virginia producing regions indi-
Gates an inadequate supply of crude
to meet the fall demand.
With the daily production over
II 2 900 barrels less than it was one
year ago, and with hundreds of
thousands Of acres of prospective
territory drilled and condemned,
the value of crude oil was never
more encouraging than at present.
Producers must not overlook the
tact that continual manipulation of
values will be INDUCED in by the
lmbeciles and commercial prosti-
tutes who have the managem, mt of
fixing prices justified in the mar
kets of the world" but they should
not become frightened into parting
with their holdings of property or
oil.
In the Oil Exchange 90 was bid
Tuesday for certificate oil.
The Producers and Refners are
still paying 95 for credit balances in
their line.
WRIT COUNTY.
The wildcat venture is being
drilled by D. A. Upham for Hoch-
stetter & Davis, located on Jack
LYONS farm, on Hughes River in
Writ county. within a short dis
lance Of the Calhoun county line.
The drill struck the salt sand yes
terday and the hole Immediately
6lled up with oil. The sand was
gotten at a depth of 400 feet.
There is considerable gas III the
we'll, which will make a paying
producer. 1t is three miles ahead
Of anything yet struck in that sec
ton of the country and is an i'm
oortant strike in every particular.
The owners have 500 acres leased
IN that vicinity.
