A Dry Hole At Great Depth

The Five Rivers OIL and Gas Com.
pany, the Birmingham million dollar
corporation that made an endeavor 10
become actively interested In the
local oil territory some months ago,
has just developed a "duster" at a
depth OF 2,260 feet. This dry hole
was brought In 10 the proven gas neld
In Fayette county, Ala, and tends to
prove the arlthmetlcal proposition
recognized by practical oil men that
at least ten per cent OF all wells
drilled In proven territory are nom
producers.
The announcement OF the failure OF
this we'll, which had reached the same
depth at which the de Lamorton well
No. at Laine developed into good
gasser, adds that the company aban-
doned their efforts with this partlcu-
lar we'll and that the drilling crew
were sent back to their northerr
homes. The well was drilled to tht
depth OF 2,26O feet in flfty-tnree days

JOBBERS FIGURING
IN RISE OF SUGAR

Discussing the sugar situation, the
San Francisco Call Of August IL
says:
Market conditions have been par
ticularly interesting during the week
by reason of the remarkable advances
in some of the leading products at rec
ord figures. Barley has moved to UNI
usual heights, ana fruits are yielding
large revenues. H.
The sugar situation has been dark
verse tariff legislation. We're 1t aot
for this and the pending investiga-
tons. sugar shares would have re-
sponded more violently to the upward
trend of the market. There has been
a hating Influence also In the con-
tracts made at prices below the pres
ent level. .Jobbers have displayed n
desire to buy for present needs In the
open market and to postpone pur-
chases on their contracts until later
dates, anticipating still greater ad-
vances in the price of raw.
The continued drought abroad and
the active market in London had fur
nished ground for the belief that the
topmost notch had not yet been
reached. In order to force the jobbers
to accept delivery on their contracts.
some of the concerns had ceased the
sale of raw except on these contracts.
