CALIFORNIA OIL SUPERIORv-
Standards Agents Contracting for
 All They Can Secure

Bakersfield-It is learned here upon good authority that the Standard Oil company has ascertaineud that Cali fornia oil is much better adapted to the manufacture of kerosene than was at first supposed, and as a consequence will greatly increase the manufacture of that product and has ordered its agents to contract for oil wherever it can be obtained without placing any limit upon the amount to be taken. With the order to purchase all the oil in sight comes the additional statement that the amount now available does not meet the present requirements of the refinery al Point Richmond and the contracts already made for supply ing fuel oil.
 This probably explains the activity of the Standards representatives around the KernE Ecountvss fields and the reports circulated of it's securing con- trol of other companies.

Will Need Much Flour

Washington-One hundred thousand tons of bread stuffs musthbe imported from wheat producing centers to Aus tralia during the coming season to meet harvest deficiencies, says United States Consul Goding at New Castle, in report 10 the state department dated November II. The crop in New South Walse he says, will not reach 50 per cent of the quantity reaped last year, and Victoria will require imports of 3,363, ,920 bushels of wheat to supply her needs. The situation is rot so bad in South Australia, though the crop there IS less than last year. About fifteen thousand tons of California flour are afloat for New South Wales, but the consul says the price of California flour has risen so'greatly that the effect will be to divert great deal of the trade to Canada, which raises hard wheat of class well suited to mix with California flour.

Mountainous North Carolina

A new and interesting topographic
 map, known as the Nantahaa sheet, recently issued by the United States Geological Survey, is one of a part of the rugged western section of North Carolina, showing portions of the country drained by the Little Tennessee and Nantahala rivers The region is sparsely settled, being little more than a mountainous wilderness with a few scattered highland villages. On the sheet appear the peaks or balds of the Nanahala Mountains, Tusauitee, Val ley river, and Cheoah ridges. The ele- vations of these mountains and their extent and grades are admirably shown by system of contours or lines pass ing through points of equal elevation at intervals of 100 feet, by which means also even the small ravines are clearly brought out. All the drainage features of the region and all the roads and trails, together with boundaries and settlements are indicated. The map is obtainable at the nomi nal gov ernment rate.

BANK OF VENEZUELA CLOSES ITS
 DOORS
Bills Are Now Selling for 80 Per Cent of Face Yalue-Leading Firms Lead in Supporting the Bank-Partial Payment Made to the Troops.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao There is a financial panic at Caracas. A large number of small traders and private depositors went together to the office of the Bank of Venezuela for the exchanging of the banks notes for silver. The bank refused to exchange more than $2 worth of notes for any one person and then closed the doors. The panic continued. Bills issued by the bank are now selling for eighty per cent of their face value.
 The leading firms at Caracas, not withstaDding the present situation, have not presented notes for redemp- tion, as they are all interested in sup porting the bank. A partial payment to the troops has been made, but it is not believed that these payments can be continued.

The Mates revolution without assist ance from foreign powers will soon be a past story" The course pursued bv the allied powers in maintaining the blockade of La Guayra has caused as- tonishment among the foreign residents of this city. When the Dutch steamer Prinz Wilhelm arrived off La Guayra to take on board the European mails, the authorities at La Guayre sent the mail out in small boat. This boat was stopped by the British cruiser on blockade and the mail bags were taken on board the warship. The postal clerks who were in the small boat say the mail bags, notwithstanding their protests, were opened on board the cruiser.
