The closing bid for Pennsylvania

The closing bid for Pennsylvania
oil on the oil exchange yesterday
was $3.50 cents q barrel. This
means that 1t you had a certificate
for one thousand barrels of oil you
could sell 1t for 81. 50 a barrel, In
stead of $1.71, the price which the
Standard OIL Co., Is paying. 1t Is
generally conceded now the supply
of high grade oil Is SO low that 1t Is
possible for almost any ordinary
capitalist and Spectator to corner
the market. The surplus of Penn
sylvania oil Is now less than two
million barrels. Everything indi-
Gates a big rise In the price. If the
Standard OH company reduces Its
prices the spectators will gladly
buy all the oil they can get at the
prices named on the exchange. We
predict two dollar oil at least and
would not be surprised If 1t went
away above that mark. 1t Is really
worth more money but has always
been so plentiful the Standard
could do as it pleases but that
day Is past. There Is going
to be a mighty boom In
oil before there Is q decrease
in the price of oil. Winter Is near.
ly here, roads will be bad opera
tions will be retarded by cold and
bad weather, new operations will be
discontinued on account OF bad
weather and the production materi-
ally lessened while the long winter
nights will cause a great increased
demand for refined oil. 1t begins to
look as if the day had about come
to an end when the Standard OIL
Co. could dictate the prices of 10th
the crude and refined oil. 1t would
not be a great undertaking at all
now to purchase every Darrell of
oil there Is above ground, In other
words to corner the market. You
may expect some exciting news In
the oil business soon. Just hold
your oil. II the price Is cut few
cents, Just hang on and say moth
Ing. This morning the price of oil
was advanced by the Standard to
$1.71 a barrel. We may expect
more good news next week. In
fact, we expect some very sensa-
tional advances In few days.

the mechanical department of an en-
CINE works, and in the evenings stud
led draughting at a mechanics insti-
tute in Baltimore. In 1858, Col Peter
Donahue of the Union Iron Works,
San Francisco, engaged him as special
draughtsman and took him West. In
1862 he resigned and took up the
manufacture of mining machinery. All
those massive engines that developed
the great mines of the Comstock were
the product of SCOTS ingenuity.
After his marriage in 1868 Scott
was again engaged by Col. Donahue
and returned to the Union Iron Works
as superintendent Two years later
Donahue retired, putting Scott in his
place as partner. The plant was great
ly enlarged, becoming the most ex-
tensive on the coast and capable of
turning out anything from a battle
ship to a needle.
Mr.. Scott never held a public Office
of much Importance except that of
presidential elector and chairman of
the California commission to the
Worlds Fair at Chicago. He leaves
a widow and two children, and his
brother, Henry t. Scott, who is now
the head of the Union Iron Works.

Irving NJ Scott, vice president and
general manager of the Union Iron
Works, and known to national fame
as 1.-The man who built the Oregon -
died at San Francisco last week
Prominently mentioned as a candf-
date for the vice presidency on the
ticket with Mckinley in 1900, twice
formidable aspirant for the senator
ship, and for many years leading
figure in the business and political life
of California, Mr. Scott was a man
whose death is regarded as distinct
loss to the state He was one of the
most progressive shipbuilders in the
world, and besides constructing the
Oregon his firm built the Olympia, Ad-
miral Dewey's flagship at the battle of
Manila; the Charleston, the Farragut
and other vessels of the American
navy, and filled contracts for the ma
vies of Japan and Russia
Mr.. Scott was educated at a public
school in Baltimore, finishing his
course at Milton Academy. Junius

pupils, and the visits of Edwin and
John Wilkes Booth to their brother
