THE PETROLEUM FIELDS.

Operations in the oil fields during the last
week continued to be moderately active,
but no developments OF Importance were
reported.
In the Blue Creek fields in Kanawha
County. w Va, It has been necessary to
check production OF the district owing to
the lack of available tankage TO care for
the production. In the mid-continent Held
some now work is under way ana lndica-
tions are that operations will snow greater
activity i'm the near future. Recently some
good wells have been brought in In the
Gulf Coast districts and have materially
increa sed the production Of the district In
the Illinois fields operations continue fairly
active. although there is tendency 10 do
less drilling on leases. In Crawford County
several wells were reported durlng tne
week, while in Petty Township new work
appears TO be very slow.
Although prices for crude petroleum IN
some districts have worked slightly higher
i'm sympathy with the recent advances IN
other districts, the price OF the refined
product has remained practically un-
changed, $40 cents in barrels and 40 cents
i'm bulk al New York, while In Europe quo
tations also remained unchanged at SID

per 10O kilos at Antwerp and $50 marks per
800 kilos at Bremen. The general tone ct

as to permit OF very active operations, eN-

Contractors Fail to Meet Agree
ment, Say Freeholders.

There was a merry war at the
meeting o fthe Board of Freeholders
yesterday over the failure of several
firms. to live up to their contracts.
In one instance. Kresner & Co. of
New York. delivered mosquito-net-
ting for nurses caps, instead of linen,
sent a poor quality of underwear to
the Soho Isolation Hospital. and,
although given an order for 1000
blankets, to be delivered some time
at Overbrook,s only sent fifty.
Freeholder Ryman, chairman of the
hospital committee. stated the blan-
kets were much larger than the kind
ordered and equally as heavy. The
company will be given five days to
deliver the $50 blankets overdue, and
If they fail they will be purchased
elsewhere.
The Austin, Nichols ! Co.. incor-
porated; failed to deliver the proper
kind of cereals at the hospital for
the insane at Overbrook, due to a
clerical error. and considerable com
ment was made. The steward ad-
n1itted that the cocoa and flakes We're
not as good as the former brands 1t
was finally left to Freeholder Malta
and County Counsel Jones to settle.
