runner Of big feet of oil tank vessels that
VIII supply Eastern manufacturers with
their fuel. The Guffey company is building
three Others Of the same kind, and expects
to have all Of them In commission within
ninety dnys.
The Higgins company also expects to
ships in the ccastwise trade before the be,
ginning OF fall, the ships being now In
course of construction.
While there are several ships engaged In
the oil-carrying business, there are only two
small ones. In addition to the Guffey, that
are available for Commercial" business
The largest oil-carrying vessels are owned
by. foreigners, and are, therefore, unavail-
able for the purpose of carrying oil from
one American port to another. The other
vessels that have been in the business here.
tofore are owned by the Standard oil COM
panS, and have been used by that COM
pany exclusively.

self of the mud and water used In placing
the casing.
The drillers, fearing another gas blowout,
used much thicker mud than usual in plac.
Ing the casing, and this accounts for the
well not gushing as high at first as IL should
have done. A telephone m ssnge from the
field this afternoon says that 1t is now
practically cleaned out and that the oil
was gushing fifty feet over the derrick.
This Is n siI-inch we'll and Mr.. Wood, as
sistant to Driler Dobblns, says II Is the
best well in the field.
This is the well which has given so much
trouble on account Of gas pressure and a
blowout which struck the pipe, and much
credit IS due to Driller Dobbins for his
efforts and perseverance in his work.

AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT.


San Francisco, Sept. 13.-Mrs. Will
liam II. Stewart, wife Of the United
States senator from Nevada, was
killed yesterday in an automobile
accident. Mrs. Stewart was enjoying
q ride with her nephew, Henry
Foote, son Of w. W. Foote, an attor-
ney, and H. D. Taylor. They were
going along Santa Clara avenue in
Alameda county, Taylor guiding the
machine and sending 1t along at
high speed. A vehicle approached
and Taylor swerved the automobile
in order to avoid collision. At that
moment he lost control Of the steer
ing apparatus or made Q miscalcula-
ton. The automobile ran into .
telegraph pole and the occupants
were thrown out. Mrs. Stewart
struck her head and was carried in
an unconscious condition to SAM
tarium in the vicinity, where she
soon died, Foote and Taylor es-
capped with minor bruises. Taylor is
cousin of Frederick Benedict, who
was recently crushed to death under
his automobile in New York. Mrs.
Stewart resided at Washington. She
was visiting her sister, Mrs. Louis
Aldrich, who lives in San Francisco.

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Fall Trade Expanding II Volume : Car
Shortage Growing - TO Cereals
Indicate . Large field.

New York, Sept. 13.-Bradstreet'a
commercial report says: Taken as
Q whole fall trade is still expand
ing in volume because western and
northwestern markets report un-
abated activity, eastern jobbing ID
as active as heretofore and the south
reports more doing at nearly all cen.
tiers. Frost held off until the close
Of the week, when a scare was
worked up. Any deterioration now,
however, can only be as to quality,
because the crop seems secure as to
quantity. Industry is active and ex-
cept in the eastern shoe manufactur-
ing trade, the hard coal region and
iron furnace work, the latter because
Of the coke shortage, present out
puts equal and in most cases exceed
records. Despite the fact that the
new crops are only moving in small
volume and the usual activity in an
thracite coal is absent, the pinch Of
the car shortage is steadily growing.
That the trouble is not entirely one
Of too few cars seems evident from
the heavy orders for locomotives
given by the leading railroad lines.
Scarcity Of help is noted in the south
for picking cotton and at the north
in public works.
The corn crop made satisfactory
progress toward maturity until Fri.
day, when general frost was report
ed, without, however, much effect on
prices. Altogether government and
private adHces as to crops Of &C.
reals, fruits and tobacco are quite
encouraging for large yield. The
quality Of oats will be below the
standard, owing to the wet weather
in harvesting, and much winter wheat
Is below grade. The reduced move
ment Of hogs to market is apparent
ly based upon fewer animals on the
farm.
Another notable feature is the gen.
eral strength exhibited by prices.
The smallest stock of wheat supplies
since 1898 is indicated both here and
abroad. Export business in wheat
was large early in the week and the
tendency Of this branch Of business
to expand at slight concessions is
notable. A feature in keeping with
the advancing season is the higher
range of farm produce. Eggs are
higher and butter is advancing on
larger consumption and reported
manipulation by cold storage inter-
ests.
