that the production ui crude petroleum

in the United States eighty per cent
came from the older Appalachian and
Lima.lndana fields, leaving twenty pen
cent Ia bc made up from all the Other
fields. This amount II lie per cent

1890 by the other fields. There was II
slight drrrcas" IN the number oi wells

The exports oi petroleum and its pro-
duets increased aud were larger than
ever before recorded, although there was
n slight decrease IN their total value,
The year was conspicuous for the new
pools found aud for the new production
IN the southern and western states,
which was followed by the organization
of an immense number of petroleum
stock companies representing many mil
lions of capital.

hogs is about s6.4o to $3.50 per 100 live

That would make the corn worth about

doesn't cost the difference between IS
cents and 71h cents a bushel to marke
