Texas Oil a Boon TO Manufacturers.


The financial editor of the New York
Press recently wrote to several Of the
large manufacturers of the country asking
their opinion as to the future of Texas Oil.
The following reply was received from the
international Power Co., of Providence.
Rhode Island. Financial Editor n. Y.
Press.-Sir: We have your favor of the
14th inst. in regard to the possible effect
of Texas oil upon the manufacturing in
dustries of the country.
The most sweeping statement that can be-
made is that it would enable American
Industries to outclass at one step all for
eign competitors; but this, of course, is
assuming that the price remains down
where it is at present.
The price can raise considerably with
out making oil as expensive as coal, and
even at the same price its superiority over
coal would still make it's use universal, if
the supply were sufficient.
One thing is certain, whether the price
of oil goes up Or not, there splendid
margin in it for producers. it offers the
greatest opportunity of the age for men
to make money. Invest your capital in
conservative company lille "The Texas
Fuel Oil Company" do all you can to in
terest your friends in the proposition; 1t
is basis as sound as a bank, and Will
| be one of the big shippers OF the world
! within short time.
The Pipe Line to Port Arthur IS pro-
crossing rapidly, the storage tanks are

Perhaps fifty bales of cotton made up
yesterdays receipts in Americue, and
an air of thrift and business was given
to the several warehouses. Much of
that brought in was sold at eight cents,
the prevailing price for good cotton,
though some sales were made at a six
teenth better. Farmers are seeming.
ly satisfied at the prices Offered, and
IN view of the large crop in prospect 1t
is probably the part of wisdom to sell
at prevailing figures Receipts today
