MARKED ADVANCE
In Price of Crude Oil-S2 offered for
10000.

on CRY, Pa, Dec. 5.-A bid of 50
for 10000 barrels of crude oil. D.
resented by National Transit certifi-
Gates, was made on the floor of the
exchange here today. There was a
sale of 5000 barrels at $195. With
the exception of the year 1895, when
certificates sold as high as 500 a
barrel, the bid and sale today Is the
highest quotation in % years, or
since the opening and development
of the prolific Bradford field.
The advance is caused by the
pipe line reports for November.
which show steady increase in
new wells, but decrease in produc
ton and heavy draft on tue reserve

oil. Not only are the Standard aud
Independent fe6ners having trouble
IN getting enough crude for refined
demand, but the demand for BIZ
products is exceeding the supply.
1t is predicted that the price of
refined oil is due for steady in
eteases, and while the high prices
will cause more activity in drilling
for crude, practical oil men say it is
doubtful If the production can be
materially increased. Petrolia, On

AUDIENCE DELIGHTED
personal Glimpses of ia nous
Men and Women
I. N. C. A. Course Opens AuspiciousIy.
Audience Hears C0nweli-A Finan-
cial success.

Russell II. Conwell again delighted
a large Morgantown audience 10 Com
mencement Hall last night with his
lecture Personal Glimpses Of Famous
Men and Women lie was brought
here by the University Y. NJ. G. A,
and the young men are to be coDgratu-
allied on opening their course .~th a
lecturer SO famous.
Mr.. Conwell'was introduced TO his
audience by Professor Waitman Barbe,
who paid high compliment TO the
speaker Of the evening and called at
tention to the fact that bis many
previous visits TO Morgantown made
an Introduction unnecessary.
Mr.. Conwell jestlngly referred to
bis long career OF A years as a public
lecturer, saying the lecture bureaus
had made him promise TO quit when
he had reached the forty-fffth year.
While he was here, he said, he would
say his farewell, for it might happen
that he would be lecturing ten years
yet,
This fact Of his inability to leave
the platform aud public life even
though he desired to, was the
point emphasized in his glimpses
of all the great men and women OF
whom he spoke. The audience was
thoroughly delighted with the lecture,
and Mr. Conwell will be warmly wei
coined when he comes again, as his
own logic proves be will come.
The Y. NJ. G. A. boys have sold
nearly 400 season tickets for the
course, and If single tickets are pur-
chased freely at the different lectures,
will make some money. The next
mum Der ia the course is Congressman
Littletleld of Maine on January 10.
