The price for oil advances too
slowly.
Producers should not be fooled
into starting the drill or keeping 1t
going just because they have had a
slight advance In the price and
"think" it will advance still more.
They got fooled year ago.
Only little over six million net
stocks of Pennsylvania oil and
mostly tank bottom at that.
Months of heavy consumption
for oil ahead and the production Is
declining. The price Is much too
low.
$I.3o was high point In price for
1901 but since then that there has
been heavy drain on the stocks.
Conditions are more than ever In
favor OF higher prices.
"Russ ian competition" will soon
have to skate In. The rivers of
Russia soon close and shipments of
Russian oil to various markets will
be curtailed.
An advance of cents barrel
helps, but Is nothingsiike the ad-
vance warranted by conditions.
Big Kuot seems we'll tied judg-
Ing by the way the production IS
slumping
The Pure Oil company and the
Standard fondly nurse the same
prices. SO much tor competition.
Prices being paid for production
indicate faith In higher prices for
credit balances. Faith Is a good
thing, but 1t wo1't pay for dry
holes.
Field runs are unimportaut and
of routine nature
Because the price has advanced
8 cents barrel Is not a good rea-
son to think that 1t Is going higher
nor Is Ii good reason why the
drilling should be pushed with
renewed vigor. The Standard have
a way of 'foolipg the oil producers

Upton TIRED OF SHAMROCK
Why Sir Thomas May Call His Third
Racer Thistle.

Just after Sir Thomas Upton had is
sued his third challenge for a contest
for the Americas cup there IA some
discussion concerning the name he was
to give his new yacht. One member of
the New York Yacht club who had just
returned from England is quoted as
follows:
"Lipton is rather tired of the name
Shamrock. I've been told that in dis
cussing the new boat with the design
ers he intimated he might make a
change. Two defeats under the name
of the trefoil of Ireland made him
think of the emblem of his own native
Scotland and that he might well call
his third racer Thistle. +,
"'You see he solemnly told the de-
signers. 4 think there's a great deal in
a name. | really want il boat to lift
that cup, and ! certainly hope 'this'll'
do so.''--New York Times.
