THE OIL AARKET.

In the Folsom district r. L.
Lamberton and others drilled In
No. 4 we'll this morning on the E.
"A. darlington farm, which is
showing for as good or better we'll
than No. 3 on same farm. The No.
3 we'll Is holding up at $50 barrels

Operations during the past week
| In the southwest fields have been
exceedingly quiet, and contain little
of interest to the operator, gener'
ally speaking. A few fairly good
producers, others small or dry, Is
all that can be said of the recent
discoveries. The majority of new
wells are located within defined
limits and, whether producers or
busters have no bearing on Il q
general situation. New producing
territory Is what the southwest
fields most desire at this time.
Reports from day to day show
hat an earnest effort has been made
to find 1t, but the only information
has been to point out and condemn
many localities. In the entire
lower southwest and southern
Ohio there Is not a new pool under
development.
The month of March closed with
the runs and shipments on better
terms than was indicated In the
first half. Pennsylvania stocks,
when the pipe line reports, will not
have suffered a loss of 10000 bar
rels for the month. Lima stocks
will suffer loss of between $780,
600 and 100000 barrels.
Richie county stills holds first
place In work of an experimental
kind. Howe ger, no new pools are
being revealed, and operators show
disposition to give up further
sesrch.

Pretty Cold Weather.

Two boatmen on the Ohio river were
talking about cold weather and Of q
certain severe winter. 1T was just
awful" said one Of them. cat Cincin
natl the river was froze tight, and the
thermometer went down to 20 degrees
below Cairo"
Below which" asked his puzzled
companion.
Below Cairo, you blubberhead! You
see, when it freezes at Cairo it must
be pretty cold, so they say so many
degrees below Cairo"
But light was bursting in upon the
other. NO, they do not" he ex
claimed eagerly. You've got it al
wrong. It's so many degrees below
Nero. / do not know what it means
but that's what they say when its
dreadful cold"
