London.-A long spell of mac
tivity has seemed to prevail in this
market, no diversion from the dull
monotony previously noticed hav-
ing been experienced since the be-
ginning of February, and the petro-
leum trade throug bout has been as
quiet as possible until the COM
mencement CT March. Arrivals
have been as numerous and as ex-
tensive as ever, and. with dimin-
ished quantities being delivered for
consumption, an accumulation of
stocks in London or the outports
must have been the rule rather than
the exception during the past
month. Prices at first, notwith-
standing, scarcely varied from those
in January, and only a week ago
was recorded as under: American
refined at 438d., and Russian oil at
a 3-16d. to 4Ad. per gallon for pres
ent deliveries; also at AID. and
AID. for September to December
orders. Lately, however, a kind OF
"boom" has been started at New
York, which has had the effect of
forcing up prices en- this side of the
Atlantic, so that American oil now
realizes 458d. per gallon for instant
delivery. In waterwhite oil there
was nothing new to observe till

means of defence from greater
physical calamity which no one
afflicted with Nervousness or dyspep-

use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which by restoring the tone of the

I'm n Bad Way.

The other day two fellows who
had evidently seen better days were
sauntering around a down town
saloon looking for some good ma
tured tool dresser to come along
and say: Come, boys, have some
thing"
After growing impatient from
waiting in vain they started to seek
out a more favorable place. They
proceeded some distance dejectedly
when one of them started up that
familiar darkey song, "Sing Again
that Sweet Refrain. He hummed
the tune uninterruptedly until he
came to this line: 1T takes me back
to slavery days." At this juncture
his companion turned, cycling him
tor a few seconds, and then said
doggedly: Say, Bill, there is no
use being carried back to find slav-
e y days"

Latest Texas OIL Notes.

w. II. Barth we'll No. and Beulah
No. this morning.
The Walton wildcat we'll near
the county farm, two and one-half
miles out, has been abandoned at q
depth of 1900 feet.
There are now eighty-nine wells
in the Corsicana field, thirty odd
drilling and about dozen rigs IN
readiness over newly located wells.
The Red Oliver we'll No. 2 in
East Corsicana, which has just been
finished up, is classed as the best
producer in the field. Its average
flow is sixty barrels daily.
Many wells in the East Corsicana
fields are now being put to pump
ing. The Southern Oil company
began pumping a number OF their
wells yesterday, which they have
connected with a central pumping
station.
Having recovered the drilling
tools and 500 feet of cable rope
which fell into the newly finished
Gibson we'll No. I during the oil
FIRE last week, contractor Charley
Allen now has the rig over the
Boyd well, two blocks farther east,
and will begin spudding Monday,
The Acme Sucker Rod company
of which Percy c. Jones is manager,
has completed its central pumping
station in the Charley West cattle
pens, and will begin pumping a
nomber of wells for Individual par
ties next Monday by means OF an
Acme gas engine of thirty wells
capacity, utilizing the escaping gas
from adjoining wells as power. This
station will be open to visitors on
Monday.
Renewed activity in the Corsi-
cana field is apparent, and leases On
oil lands are in demand, the anxiety
to secure them indicating that there
"is hen on" or something under
the surface not yet made public.
Leases have recently been taken or
land eight miles south of the city.
Other developers are pointing
northward in search of oil. The de-
mand ofleases east of the developed
field is not now so great as it has
been.
AS indicated in these columns
few days ago, through efforts of
Mr.. H. P. CARRIER, recently of Dali
las, but formerly developer in the
California field, the Central Texas
Oil and Development company was
organized in this city yesterday
with capital stock of $4,000.
The plans of the company are what
its name indicates, the development
OF oil in Corsicana. The company
proposes to organize with a capital
of $40, 900, and sell $7,ooo of this
stock at 90 cents per share in bulks
of twenty-five shares After a suf-
fcient amount is raised so as to
comply with the law, articles of in
corporation will be filed with the
state and a charter secured, then
operations will begin. If the COM
pany is successful after the dispos
al of the first stock, the capital
stock will be increased $4,000
more. About 1900 of the shares
have already been sold. The Of
fcers OF the company are w. E.
Sullivan, president; T. J. Gray,
vice-president; S. w. Bogy, treas
urer; w. P. Gerber, secretary and
