THE PETROLEUM FIELDS.

The market for refined petroleum has ruled steady
during the last week. and prices. both here and
New York is quoted at SIS In barrels and 500 In
bulk. with Philadelphia prices basis Of points
lower. Foreign prices for refined petroleum are rs
follows: London. 63sd per imperial gallon; Ant
werp 2lhs francs per 100 kos and Bremen $50
marks per 50 kilos. Interest IN tho field develop
ments has again centred in the lower southwest
territory where the developments continued on an
active scale. The Congo pool in Hancock County
continues to lead in point OF production. In the
older part OF the pool several competitions have
been made which will materially increase the pro-
ductton. Two new producers have recently been
drilled In the east side of the territory on the
Mahan farm. which has increased the production
to $50 barrels. while in the locality on the
Ward farm. another producer of equal capacity
was brought in About n mile north, on Dunkard
Creek the South Penn OIL Company is drilling In
its No. the Stackpole farm. and the same
company's No. on the Youst farm is holding up
at H5 barrels day. In the Church district in
Wetzel County, the Carnegie Natural Gas Com
pany's No. is producing 1SO barrels.
What Is considered very important discovery
and the one that is attracting considerable atten-
ton is tho gusher tho William I.oar farm ON
Black Run. Aleppo Township. In Green County
This well drilled in about week ago and
continues to hold at about 700 barrels a day This
discovery has inspired more confidence in the sur
rounding country. and should the well continue To
maintain its present record new work will undoubt
edly be undertaken In the PENNSYLVANIA fields
there has been very little development work and
apart from Ross & Dunn's gusher in the Bristoria
district which is holding 90 barrels dav there
nave been no new discoveries of Importance There
mas peeli no Improvement in the Ohio fields, but
operators are making determined efforts to locate
new producing territory. In the old territory some
lalr producers have been found In the Clear Fork
alstFict. but the work OF locating extensions has
Deen unsuccessful In the Illinois field considerable
activity Is displayed In the Casey-Westheld field
ana considerable work Is looked for between now
