What the Review has been pro-
phesying for weeks occurred yes
terday. The prophesy In question
was that the price of oil would
reach the ST. 50 mark before ChIist
mas, and yesterday our prophecy
was more than fulfilled, as the ad-
vance In Pennsylvania and West
Virginia crude was three cents,
making the price $1.51, 1t is
needless to say that operators and
royalty holders are delighted at
this advance In the market. All
sections of the oil producing terri
tory throughout the country have
been greatly stimulated by the ad.
vance. In the surrounding oil
fields, especially In the vicinity OF
our neighbor town of Friendly,
there Is much new work starting
and the wild-catter as we'll as
the experienced operator, Is abroad
in the land for the purpose of doing
business and with determination
to secure fortune If possible.
We very recently heard old ex'
perienced operators express them
selves to the effect that the price OF
oil would continue to stes Oily ad =
vance until 1t reached the S2,oo
m.rk, unless there was a new tl=ld
opened up in the very near future
of large proportions. The rapid
decline in the production OF ctl

much weight to the opinions of the

Under Mr.. Vanderbilt's Eye.

The change in the operating offices of the
Lake Shore road, whereby T. N. Miles was
sent from Buffalo to Detroit as operating
official. and H. A. Worcester transferred
from Detroit to Buffalo, has been a matter
over which there has been much specula-
ton. While it was promotion of a man
who has been considered an efficient opera
ting man and man of much ability, 1t
was puzzling, but an official makes the
statement that the Buffalo end has become
one of the hardest to operate on the sys-
tenn; it was the promotion of a young man
who has been out of the public eye for
sometime, and he predicts brilliant future
for him. A few years ago, when Mr.. Cald-
well was on the Lake Shore, he was taking
Mr.. Vanderbilt over the line one day. He
asked the latter If he had ever met Worces-
ter, and he answered in the negative. Mr..
Caldwell then introduced the young man,
suggesting that Mr.. Vanderbilt might make
a valuable acquaintance if he would invite
the young man TO dinner and have him
seated at his left where he could talk over
the affairs of the road with him. The in
vitation was extended; Mr.. Vanderbilt since
that time has been profoundly impressed
with his ability, and the present promotion
followed.

having twenty thousand acres or upwards
under this product, including New York
about three-fourths of the entire buck
wheat acreage of the country, five repre-
sent a yield per acre in excess of their

States reports an average yield in excess of

MINISTERS IN SESSION.


The Rev. L. A. Goodwin proposed at the
meeting of the Methodist Ministers Asso-
citation, held yesterday morning i'm the
Meridian-street NJ. f. Church. that Indian
apolis be made one Methodist conference
and its affairs directed by one presiding
elder. He said that the practice of hav-
ing two and three conferences was not
the best. The Revs. Roberts, Bacon and
Edwards, of Indianapolis. and the Rev
Mr.. Schell. of Greenfield, were named as
committee to try 10 bring about this
change. The committee is to report some
time during the winter. The opinions of
the ministers seemed TO be that the pres
ent system is not helpful TO the church and
that a change should be made.
Dr. Baer, superintendent of the Methodist
College at Lucknow. India. appeared at
the conference and asked help from the
indianapolis Methodists for the school
he told the wonderful growth of this COL
lege and what needed additions could be
made II little money is provided for
the purpose. The Rev. S. l.. Welker, of
West Indianapolis read a paper on
Ministerial Qualifications"
The Rev. c. r. Bacon requested a meet
ing OF the pastors of the local Methodist
churches and the treasurers of each who
have been trying TO collect money for the
Methodist General Hospital and Deaconess
Home. AT this meeting a report will be
asked or the progress made in raising
FUNDS for the proposed hospital.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
WARM WEATHER A DETERRENT TO
AUTUMNAL ACTIVITY.
Prices in the Main steady, with Poul-
try Easier-Heavy Receipts of Corn,
with Narrower Price Spread.

The local market was active in several
lines yesterday, largely in filling orders
brought in by the travelling statesmen on
Saturday, and in supplying home trade
The weather continues too warm for dry
goods to move actively, though very fair
trade is in progress. The wholesale grocers
are the busiest merchants on the wholesale
streets, as for every line of groceries there
seems to be an excellent demand. Despite
the fact that the fruit canning season Is
over, sugars are moving very freely. Coffees
steady and are moving well. In fact, all
staple groceries are moving fast, the IN
dianapolis houses never doing better DUST
ness. On Commission row trade dragS III
tie and cool weather will be welcomed, as
retail grocers and families are buying only
TO meet immediate requirements lest they
lose heavily by rotting of fruits and veGe-
tables. The produce market is in strong po-
sition as to eggs, butter and cheese, put
poultry is weaker; however. prices OF poui-
try were never before as high as thus 1ar
this fall, and they continue too hlgn 10
create a good demand. Packers are heavy
purchasers of poultry, and as prices begin
to decline there is active Eastern de-
mand. Flour is quite active and prices nuc-
tuate but little. Iron and steel merchants
report their trade as still very satisfac-
tory and sales of window glass are very
large
