THE PETROLEUM MARKET.

No further advance in petroleum made last
week in the credit balance market, but 1t is
impossible that another advance will be made in
the not distant future. that of week ago Is
not deemed sufficient to meet the requirements
of the situation. Tie continued failure to make
new discoveries or find important pools has
been very discouraging to operators and nothing
but the prospect of higher prices will stimulate
activity The stua ton is such that the drill must
be kept at work in order to find scattered produc-
tive spots that may still exist in the lower South
west The demand for high grade oil continues
without diminution. and producing properties are
in high demand. Perhaps never in the history of
the business has settled productive territory de-
handed a higher price than at present; few trans
actions have been recorded for many months and
such sales as have been made have been on
basis of not less than 81 900 barrel even for shall
lows and producing territories in West Virginia
and Southeastern Ohio. None offered under
81 200 a barrel in Butler and Allegheny counties or

Purpose of Life.

dav from her grandmother's home. He took her

TO who should care for the child. Mrs. Rooeson

CLEAR PARK ROW.
Promise to Restore the Street to
Former Condition Not Kept.

May has come and gone. and the assurance
that Chief Engineer Parsons gave the Kapiu
Transit Commission that Park Row would pe

ditions by May ] seems to be "a delusion ana
snare" In fact, Park Row between Ann anu
Centre SITS is in many respects in a worse con-
dition than il was a month ago. Ihere are
fenced-in excavations all along the street pe
tween the points named. and from the present
outlook the street will not be restored hlueh
before June /. Near Ann-st. there is pile
about fifty feet long and four feet high OF use

for two or three weeks If they were removed

This space seems to be used for a storeyard
and dumping ground for all sorts OF construc-
ton litter The strike Of the unskilled laborers
has added 10 the dstressful condition of things
along Park Row tn some extent. although the
work should all have been done weeks ago be-
tween Ann-st and the site of the old Hall of
Records. 1t Is expected that the contractors
will be working at the latter point all summer
on account Of the fact that the city authorities
dsd not promptly give the contractor q right of
way at Centre-st. and Park Row.
While delay there is excusable there does not
appear TO he a reasonable excuse for the back
wardness of the work between Ann and Frank
fort SITS. Mr.. Parsons says that the work of re-
storing the asphalt walk along the easterly side
of City Hall Park has been ordered. and that
