Occurred Yesterday in Prices OF
Solicitation of Market
Violent and Feverish.

New York, May 20.-The violent
and feverish action of today's stock
market served to confuse greatly the
views of the speculative element and
in consequence served to intimidate
the less powerful class of operators.
who saw prices moving in a mercural
| fashion apparently at the will of hid
be followed and whose motives could
not be fathomed. That operators of
powerful resources We're using violent
monipulative measures to effect the
! wide and sudden fluctuations in
prices was patent even to superficial
observations. With the growing in,
terest of the outside speculative ele-
ment, made up of individuals of
smaller resources than those who I'M
dertake to inaugurate n speculative
campaign, the bull position has
grown increasingly vulnerable The
number of buyers on margin, unable
to hold through any considerable de-
cline has grown. AS a safeguard to
their position spectators nave been
placing stop loss orders to sell at
certain prices slightly below the mar
ket. With the market honeycombed
with such orders, such sudden re.
lapses as those late yesterday and
midway of toda's session become
likely The early part of the day was
given over to a laborious repair pro-
cess of the inroads on prices effected
yesterday and early today. The sen
sational advance in Missouri Pacific
and the response by sympathy of the
whole Gould group was an effective
medium for supporting prices during
this attempt towards rally. Mys-
terious illusions to new alliances for
Gould railroad enterprises involving
support from the wealthiest
and American capitalist
made upa motive power of this move
ment. Efforts to secure authentic
confirmation or denial of these
rumors We're fruitless during the
stock market session and they were
left in q realm of conjecture.
Additional engagements of gold for
export Indicated the unimpaired force
of demand on New York for metal.
New York banks also are preparing
to meet the call for repayment Of
$25 900. 900 of government deposits, !

ADDING BOILERS AND
INCREASING CAPACITY

When the United Oil company ia
finished with the work now in hand
the steam capacity of the refining
plant will be increased by $50 horse
power, which, 1t ia claimed, will be
enough for all present purposes.
There are now eight boilers in the
power house, but two Of them have
not yet been connected up with the
new steam pipe line. There are also
two in the annex aud the combined
capacity Of the boilers is 900 horse
power A fourteen-inch steam pipe
line is to be laid to connect both re-
fineries in the near future and when
this is done the new boilers will be
connected.
At present the steam capacity is
far too insufficient and it is difficult
matter to keep steam enough to run
the plant. This is especially true

BIGGEST PRODUCTION
FOR A DOZEN YEARS

Wv ~ OVAAtN SSvutO
1t IL reported from the offices Of the
United Oil company in this city that
the daily production of oil from the
wells in tho field at present ia the
greatest for many years. and not. .since
the later nineties have the wells
yielded the grease as they are now
doing. Three or four big wells that
have been struck In the last five
weeks are responsible for this con-
dition Of affairs and 1t appears now
that the oil will continue to flow at
the present rate for months to come.
These strikes added thousands Of
dollars to the monthly value of the
oil zone and assures the permanency
of the field for years to come as the
new strata were struck in deeper
holes than those of earlier days.
Before these wells we're brought in
the oil situation here was getting to
be very uncertain as many wells were
drilled and resulted in busters. The
new strikes were made at the time
when the demand for finished oil was
brisk. and the finished output that Is
now being marketed is much larger
than a few months ago. Much Of the
Florence oil is shipped westward
where the market is broadening every
year. III fact the larger part of the
western portion of the United States
is largely supplied with renfied oils
from the Florence refinery.
A happy condition of affairs exist
in the wax department which proves
that the new department Is past
the experimental stage and that it
is here to stay. Where only 100
barrels of wax distillate was run
through this department when the
plant was first started, today there
same material used. showing that the
company has studied out all intri.
cate parts Of the machinery and know
| their use in the manufacture of wax
The output Of wax from this de-
partment averages better than two
carloads a month, each car holding
thirty tons.
The experiment is also past in the
manufacture of the first grade of wax
with a melting point OF 1870. meant ng
that wax is subjected to 1870 degrees
of heat before 1t will melt. This is
the highest melting point wax in the
United States. The company has also
succeeded in making wax Of 1874 point.
and the ingredients used in its manu-
facture is the sweat or grease from
the wax of the first grade. Dr.
Knoch, the superintendent says that
still another grade can be made from
the sweat of the second grade, and
that he supposses it can be continued
in this way until there is nothing
left at all but wax
At this time ths company is exper-
imentinR on the manufacture Of chew
ing gum and has made up several lots
Of different flavorings. such as sas.
frass. wintergreen. and peppermint
I As yet the melting point is little
too high ~ IL is necessary for the
chewer to hold the parafine in the
mouth until the natural heat dissol :
YES 1t. The heat OF the mouth Is but
ninety eight and II Is thought the
third grade wax would be more suit
able for chewing gum than the
second grade. The melting point of
the first grade is entirely too high
for chewing gum, and the WAX
