TILE WEEK IN PETROLEUM.

One OF the features of the market for refined
petroleum last week was the heavy exports TO Ma
gasaki, Japan; Copenhagen and Amsterdam. But
while these shipments aggregate millions of gal
Ions they were not sufficient to make any change
in values here. Aside from these exports the mar
ket was quiet. but prices were firmly held. fleid
work continues on fairly liberal scale Consid-
erable interest is manifested in the Ganer develop
ment and there is much speculation as to the final
results Of the wells now in process of drilling. one
OF these wells was drilled during the week by the
Eclipse OIL Company the Palmer farm. In Wet
eel County w. Va, but after the drill was sent
into the deep sand II developed nothing but gas.
This we'll is about a mile ana quarter west OF
the Gamer well, which has been increasing us
production and is making more than TWO
hundred and hfty barrels per day The location OK
the Eclipse Companys well is such, however, tnat
good wells may be found between Il and the
famous Gamer gusher; In the ohio fields WORK Is
going on but with only small results .
