A Boom i'm the OH Field.

Lima, March 2.-The unprecedented
rapid advance in the price of Lima oil
within the last two weeks has had the
effect of causing boom in the oil fields
The advance has been looked for by eX-
perienced producers for some time, and
in consequence they and many others
have been holding their oil for better
prices and many are still holding their
production for a better price. The ad-
vance is the result of a scarcity of oil
throughout the Pennsylvania as well
as the Lima field.
