MARKET RECEIPTS DOUBLED
Since the Adoption of the Third
Street Mart.

Market Master Duffy yesterday submitted 10
the city clerk his annual report showing the
receipts at the market house for the year
ending Dec. 81. 1885, The total receipts, in
cuding the rent from the sidewalks and
streets at the Third street market, amounted
to S7.20619. For the same period in 1896 the
receipts were sS.962.33, but that year the rents
for the Third street market. aggregating over
81, OO0 were collected by private parties, and
of course do not show in the money turned

Lou Williams, an assistant lease
foreman for the Seneca Oil COM
pany, at Chipmunk, had an excit-
ing experience with six tramps yes
terday and incidentally carved
name for himself among oil country
heroes. Williams entered the boiler
house on the lease in the morning
and found six men in the building,
all lying snugly in every comforts
able place that could be found.
Williams ordered the men to get
out but one of them, the biggest
and ugliest of the sextette, told him
to go to Olean, station located 8
miles below Hades. Williams did
not wish to go to such a place and
he walked out of the boiler house
and picking upa big stick OF hard
wood, he hurled it at the Zig tramp
who had wished him such hard
luck. The stick hit the tramp and
he jumped up and rushed at Will
liams but the latter had picked up
another stick and at the proper
time brought it down upon the.
hobo's head with dull and sicken-
ing thud, The tramp dropped to
the cold ground hors du combat.
Hobo No. 2 made rush at Will
liams, but he, too, bit the dust with
ease and dispatch. The four re-
naming hoboes did not stand upon
the order of their going, but went
at once and Williams went to work
as if nothing had happened. When
the two fallen hoboes awoke from
their dream they gathered them,
selves up and sneaked away

to the true conditions. The Re-
view has predicted that inanipula-
ton of blackboard prices would
take place and an effort be made to
shape out credit balances and GER
tifcate oil, which is being held for
higher prices. Just how far the
manipulation will be carried de-
ponds entirely upon the extent to
which the Standard Oil Co. will
expose their cheap methods.
Every producer is we'll aware
that for months the price for Penn.
sylvaria oil has been too low, and
even with the recent advance IS not
commensurate with present condl-
tons. 1t is not probable that re-
duction in price at this period will
friehten holders into selling their
balances, nor is it probable that
such unwarranted manipulation of
price will tend to inspire producers
with such great degree of conf
dence that the will blindly rush in
to reckless drilling operations. 1t
is always to be presumed that there
are a certain line of small producers
who usually are sellers of their
credit balances about the first of
each month and it is for these cred
it balances that the Standard Oil
company demonstrates their cheap
methods of manipulation. 1t has
happened at the end of many
months and probably will be con-
tinued.
Oil exchange prices were also
becoming disagreeably high and
prevented the purchase of any con-
siderable amount of credit balances
by the purchasing agencies. On
Wednesday the price for certificate
oil reached $1.o71a which was
cent and half above the credit bal
ance price. Considerable outside
inquiry is being made for the GER
tifcate oil and a few buying orders
have been executed.
Further reductions in prices may
be accompanied by apologies and
"self:explanatory letters" bat even
these will not change the opinion
of the producers and holders of oil
that prices are much too low. For
cheap methods the great Standard
Oil company can close the eye of a
three card man at a country fair.
With the demand for export re-
fined oil still growing and the fail
ure to open any new pools or ma
terially increase production from
present operators it is quite prob.
able there will be merry dance in
o1eaginous circles before the winter
is over and the Standard Oil COM
pany will be large contributors to
the funds for furnishing the music.
Sistersville oil review. [volume] (Sistersville, W. Va.) 1896-1901, 1898-10-05

mercifully they lost all heart and
almost all hope and seemed deter
mined to stand off and let the
Standard do its worst. This action
on the part of the producers has
caused the production to run away
down and no prospects of its in
creasing very materially. We con-
fdently expect two dollar oil before
spring.
We will not be mistaken, unless
a very large field should be opened
up soon, which is not likely. The
talk about the activity" in Richie
and Wood counties is nothing but
bosh and blow. All the oil the two
counties produce would not supply
small city, let alone the world or
any great part of it. The stocks
are going down at wonderful rate
and a big price for oil will follow
as sure as night follows the day.
Hold your oil.
From Fridays Daily.
The southwest extension of the
Elk Fork field received a black
eye yesterday when the No.
Thomas, Treat & Crawford, was
drilled in and was dry. This we'll
was located about a half mile
ahead of developments to the west
I and south of the other develop
ments in that part of the field and
was a good test of the territory in
that direction. 1t looks very much
now as though there was no pos
sible way for an outlook to that
part of the field. On all sides to
the south there has been either
dry hole or a very small producer
found and as a result the operators
do not think very we'll of that stuff.
The Thomas we'll was a very i'm
portant one and had it come in good
there would be quite revival of
work in that part of the field.
The White Oil company located
their No. 2 on the Bills farm near
St. Marys yesterday. 1t is short
distance ahead Of their No. which
was drilled in last week and was
dry.
Over in the northern extension
of the Elk Fork pool, the Little
Muskingum Oil company have the
rig up and will commence spudding
today at their No. on the Martha
Thomas farm.
Keller, Kohl & Co. are building
rig for their No. on the Harvey
and will have it completed by to-
morrow. They will probably COM
mence spudding by the early part
of the week.
! The Carter Oil company is put
ting the timbers on the ground to-
day for the rig for their No. I on
the Day farm.
The expected Juggling of prices
for credit balances has materalized.
On Thursday morning the prices
for Pennsylvania oil were reduced
from $1.o6 to $1.o5 per barrel. 1t
was on Tuesday that the price was
advanced from $1.o4 to $I.o6. Now
| it is quite possible that the "mar-
kets of the world" may have chang
ed in the short period intervening
between Tuesday noon and Thurs
day morning to Justify" the reduc-
ton, but in the absence of self
explanatory letters from Mr.. Seep,
the trade are quite in the dark as

The South Penn Oil company
will case their No. 4 on the Cum

There is change today in the
oil market, but it is the wrong
way. There is nothing alarming
in this change, as it is only done
for the purpose of frightening pro-
ducers into selling their oil. The
Independent Pipe Line Companies
are still paying S1.o6 for oil, and
the Standard will have to come up
to the mark again.
Beside this, the shipments will
exceed the runs this month by
nearly million barrels. When you
also consider the fact that the time
of year is nearly here when there
will be greatly increased demand
for refined oil, coupled with the
fact that there is no new field
opened up yet of much dimension,
and the summer gone, there is
nothing to indicate decline in the
price of crude, and this mark down
in price in oil is only to scare peo-
pie into selling. 1t is a gauzy
move to get oil. Hold on to every
barrel of oil you can is the advice
of the Oil Review and time will JUS
tify our assertion that oil is going
away up before many weeks roll
by.
The fact is, we have been ex-
pecting just such turn as this.

OIL NEWS.
From Wednesdays Daily

The tact that the oil market is
growing gradually and not by sud-
den Jumps, asis usually the case, is
a source of great satisfaction to
great many of the producers and
operators. In this sort of a rise In
the market some of them seem to
think they see bright futme for
the market during the winter. They
agree that sucN rise in the market
is productive not only of good re-
suits in the field, but it makes the
operators more confident and they
feel more like investing their
money.
There has been no happening in
the oil world during the past few
weeks that has given as general
satisfaction to all classes as the
rises in the market, which have &C.
Cured during that time. For
long time while the market was
down, the operators were feeling
depressed and did not care whether
they did any work or not, but now
that the market is advancing, they
are becoming more spry, and are
looking around little to see wheth-
er there is anything they can get
hold of to do something with.
The northeast extension of the
Elk Fork field is attracting great
deal of attention at the present
time and we'll it might. During
the past month or six weeks there
have been several nice wells drilled
in there and what is better, these
wells are holding up to the regular
production in good shape. The in
dications are that pool of some
magnitude has been opened up in
that section and the people who
have territory in that part OF the
field are making preparations to
test it this fall and winter. AT the
present time there is a great deal OF
new work under way up in that
part of the Elk Fork field and
great deal more is contemplated.
Nichols s. BarDsdalps No. 7 on
the Hawkins farm in the northeast
extension of the Elk Fork field
still has the broken bit in the hole
and there is no telling when the
we'll will be drilled in. The lost
tool is just on the top of the sand,
but So far they have not been able
to get it out.
Crawford & Treats No. I on the
Thomas farm in the southwest ex-
tension of the Elk Fork field which
should have been in the sand sever
al days ago still has set of broken
jars in the hole just on top of the
sand and it may be some time be-
fore they are gotten out.
At the sale of the Cameron Oil
and Gas company's property by the
sheriff yesterday, by which quite a
lot of property was disposed of,
Treat & Crawford, of this city,
bought a quarter interest in the
Bonner lease. The Fisher Oil COM
pany bought the Grodhaus lease of
about 80 acres, on which there are
two wells, for which they paid
$4,000. A number of other small
interests were purchased by differ
ent parties, but the whole amount
realized from the sale of the prop
erty did not exceed more than a
quarter of its value.
The Wilson Run Oil company's
No. I on the Edwards farm, which
was drilled in a couple of days ago,
has been cleaned out and is good
for about IS barrels day.
Yost & Co.'S No. 5 on the Reed
