wells that have stood still for year
will be cleaned out and put to
pumping again. More than half
the number of wells completed in
Allegheny, Washington and Butler
counties during the present month
proved busters and the aggregate
new production is less than 100
barrels.
From Mondays Daily. .
The buyers on the Exchange
were today taking rest. The
Exchange price remains practically
at Saturdays quotation, no higher
point being reached. The sanguiHe
producer who predicted dollar oil
today was four cents off. The
highest offer today was 96 cents,
the opening bid being SO cents.
The Standard is evidently endeav-
oring to ovcrtake the Exchange
price. The credit balances todav
made another advance all along the
line. Pennsylvania oil was marked
up from Is cents to SO cents, being
an advance of IS cents in the past
fifteen days. 1t would seem that
the spectators are evidently laying
of in order to allow the price of the
credit balances to reach a point
nearer the Exchange price.
Since the exchange buying was
inaugurated there has been about
20 cents between the Standard and
Exchange price and the spectators
have forced oil to a point now that
makes the oil industry remunera-
tive, vet Notwithstanding this fact
the roads will not admit of opera
tons at the present time and stocks
will be compelled to continue to de-
crease. The only field today pro-
ducing Pennsylvania oil that is
promising is the southwest or West
Virginia field, and the outlook here
is not at all bearish.
The general trend of the pool
from this point seems to be south,
yet when Volcano, ". Va, IS

OIL: NOTES..
THE OIL MARKET.
From Saturdays Daily.

The market taking such jumps
upward is making the operator
dizzy. 1t came in the way of such
a complete surprise that the pro-
ducer can hardly realize what is
taking place. The Standard ad-
vanced the price of all credit bal
ances again today. The higher
grades were worked up three cents
while the Lima and Indiana oils
were only advanced one cent. Buy
ing in Oil City exchange today was
very active and at last accounts 96c
was being offered for certificates.
The fields are presenting no new
features. In the Elk Fork pool
Mr.. Nichols reports the No. 5 7.
G. Hawkins being cased with the
Io-inch casing.
In the Wilson run pool Neeley &
Co. will shoot their No. I Bever to-
day.
In the Jug pool the Victor Oil &
Gas company are 400 feet at their
No. I Morris. The Hickman Oil
company has breakdown and will
be delayed several days. Bartlett
& Stanclif's No. Fletcher,is drill
ing at about 500 feet. Z.E. White

As yet the advance in the mar
ket has no noticeable effect ON oil
Developments. Those who have
drillable territory say they will get
to work as soon as the roads get In
better condition, and they are con-
vinced that the appreciation in val
ues is not temporary.
There will be general shaking

ket reaches the dollar mark. Old

AN OIL DEAL.

The producer is vainly trying in
every possible manner to increase
the production OF his old wells that
had been allowed to run down on
the 65 cent market. There are
some, too, that are replenishing
their decreased production by pur-
chasing interests in good territory
whenever it is possible to do so.
The latest deal was given out this
morning and came as a surprise to
many.
1t is reported today that L. A..
Brenueman has closed deal with
Z. T. Devore, of PArkersburg, for
his one thirty-second interest in the
holdings of the Elk Fork Oil and
Gas company. Mr.. Brennemau is
out of town today and cannot be
seen, but the report is from an au-
low the advance in the price Of oil,
yet it will be some time before the
drill will be able to reach the oil
bearing rock. The advance in the
price of oil begun before the oper-
ator was expecting it. and couse-
quently no rigs are completed and
all work will have to he started
from the very beginning.
The Wilson Run pool is furnish
ing very little new production.
Neeley & Co. have shot their No.
Beaver and from present indications
will have a small pumper.
In the Mayfeld pool the Spragg
Oil company have completed their
No. 6 J. NJ. May6eld and have
fair Injun sand producer.
The Jug pool is furnishing very
little speculation for the talent, the
crop of drilling wells number three.
The Hickman Oil company have
cased their No. 1 Hickman heirs
withthe s 4 casing, and are progress
ing nicely since their recent break
down.
The Victor Oil and Gas compa-
ny's No. I Morris is moving along
again, after having been delayed
several days by a crooked hole.
Bartlett & Stancliff are drilling at
/ 900 feet at their No. I Fletcher.
This is by odds the most important
of the three locations.

doubt in my mind but that certifi,
Gates are splendid investment for
anyone, and I have been expecting
the independent producers with
some associated capitalists to make
a move to corner the market before
this time"
L. A. Brenneman said: II be-
lieve it is the doings ofthe Standard
themselves. Letter has plenty to
keep him busy without attempting
to effect corner in oil"
G.. W. Crawford was then ap-
preached and asked for his opinion
regarding the rumor, and he said;
II had heard the rumor, but gave
but little credence to it. I would
rather believe that some capitalists
have considered it a good invest
ment and they, together with the
independent operators are buying
it up. If a man has capital enough
be can go in and come out ahead;
there is no doubt about it.
L.C. Wilson when approached,
was surprised and replied with a
gleeful smile: "If Joe is in there
we will see some fun" The mar
ket in my opinion can be easily
cornered, as there is not stocks
above ground sufficient to prevent it
from being accomplished.

Pinch the OetOpds,


buying through representatives oil
on the Oil City exchange? If so,
what will be the result? Here is a
question that is worthy of investiga-
ton. While it is not generally
known yet we are reliably informed
by parties who know Letter that his
agents are on the floor of the ex-
change buying everything in sight.
1t is significant that something 9TH
er than the small advance in the
the price of the credit balances has
been brought to bear on the market
to cause an advance of 1oAc yes
terday. If Letter is behind this
movement it is hard to predict
where the market will stop.
There is every reason to believe
that dollar oil is a certainty and
that in a very few days. IT the
market is cornered by set ofspec-
ulators much higher price will
surely be the result.
It is almost inexplicable to some
and the only reason that can be
given by them is, Some heavy
outside buying is responsible for
the spasmodic advances of certih-
Gates" Who these outsiders are is
10 them mystery.
The opinions of the operators
end producers here differ as to the
cause of the rapid advance of GER
tihcates as we'll as the credit bal
ances. Some claim that the Stand
ard is ''lulling" the market, while
others claim that the heavy shrink
age of stocks together with still
further decline in stocks now inev-
liable is responsible for the heavy
buying,
There are others who say that

aud know for fact that Jos. Letter,
the wheat king, is behind the move
to corner the market: While the
last reason looks hardly creditable,
yet it is not Improbable.
Six months ago there was not
man to be found who would have
dared to assert that Letter would
wrest the title OF wheat king" from
Armour. To-day the young mil
aioaare is in complete control OF
the situation. Armour, himself, has
confessed that Letter CONTROLS the
wheat market, abso.u ely If that
was so easily affected, it is thought
by some here who have made the
oil industry lifetime study, that
he would have a"walk over" IN cor
nering the oil market. The real
facts concerning the amount OF
stock that would necessarily have
to be purchased in order to control
the entire output independent oi

stocks may not be as lage by mil

to bear and intimidate the inde'
pendent into sacrifice sale of his

as its influence on the market IS
concerned, and there is no reason to
fear anything in the future from
that source.
Washington and Monroe coun-
ties, Ohio, it would seem, has passed
their zenith IN the oil industry.
Washington has always proved a
loser while Monroe has fur
nished some excellent small pools;
she too has presented many freaks.
The only real source from where
any new production will be derived
within the next thirty days is
IWhiskey run, Richie county de-
velopment. Already more than a
dozen wells are drilling, some of
them will be completed during the
coming week.
Some we'll informed oil men have
already pronounced the Albrecht
well a freak, but it must be remem-
bered that it has been holding up
too long not to have something
back of it, and there exists small
pool at least in that locality.
While it may never be, nor does
any one expect a second Elk Fork,
yet there will be lots of spectators
very badly disappointed in case it
does not pan out" to be a very
nice sized pool. The shallow sand
of Peasants, the Injun Of Tyler and
the deep sands of Tyler, Wetzel
and Marion counties are the three
sections that the octupus hopes to
Ireplenish its reduced stock from.
| Wetzel and Marion have not been
furnishing satisfactory results late
Ily, while the roads in Tyler county
have made the local fields inacces-
sible, and it will be thirty days be-
fore the operator can resume de-
velopments to any active degree.
The indicator points to higher
market. The rapid advance in the
price of the credit balances is self
evidence of a very strong tone and
shows conclusively that the Stand
ard is shy" Of stocks.
Field developments during the
past week have been uniuteresting.
A small amount of work is under
way, but the major number of the
producers and operators are taking
a vacation.
Boyd Bros. started up at their

UNFrrrRD BY CIGARETTES
VIM Such q Large Number Of volenteert
HaVe Boon Reiectad From fhA Arnrx

The large number of reflections of
volunteers has caused much comment
In the army medical corps. However,
the physicians who have conducted the
examinations say that outside OF the
ranks Of cigarette smokers there are
even fewer reflections than there were
In the days of the civil war. Among
habitual users Of the cigarettes the re-
jections are about 90 per cent.
DR.. Benjamin King of Philadelphia,
who acted as an examining surgeon
during 1S61-63 in New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Indiana, says that thu
average reflections during those years
did not exceed 13 per cent. He attrib-
utes the large increase almost entirely
to the cigarette habit. II have been in
specting the papers In a number OF
cases under the present recruiting
act" said DR.. King, "and I observe
that most Of the men who failed to
pass the medical examination have
weak hearts or lack the vitality neces-
sary to make a good soldier.
II had expected that the percentage
Of reflections would be greater now
than In 1861, but did not dream that
Il would be almost three times as great.
The examining physicians with whom
I have talked have generally told me
that the excess Of reflections Is due to
the large number of young men apply
