PECOS OIL FIELD
GOOD, SAYS TROXELL
OIL Lands and Interests Cali
fcrnians in Field.


According to c. R. Troxeu, who has
returned from several months in the
oil fields, the PecOs valley oil belt
around Artesia,-DaytOn and Lakewood
n NJ, has made good and, in the
opinion of a number of oil experts
from several Of the older fields, viii
prove one of the great oil fields in the
country. Mr.. TrOxell has taken leases
and options on a large section OF
country, and has interested California
people who are now operating in the
California oil fields. He leaves for
Los Angeles tomorrow on business
connected with the property he has Sc
cured. The trend of the oil basin is
from northwest to southeast, and for
at least so miles along that trend near
lyievery well that was sunk for water
carries more OF less oil, which, it is
claimed, is evidence of an enormous
basin OF oil somewhere underneath.
The most northerly point where oil
was struck is at Cottonwood, u miles
northwest of Artesia, where it was
About eight miles south and east
from Artesia and three miles east of
Dayton, is the biggest well, which is
called the Hammond well. and around
IT are good many scattered wells, all
OF which are arteSian wells with more
or less oil The Hammond well is
producing so barrels of oil daily. There
IS gas in this well and the force of the
gas is so strong that it forces the oil
out which shoots up above the top Of
the derrick at regular intervals
The artesian water flow has greatly
handicapped the oil interests in the
Dayton field, said Troxell. for the drill
ers must go through it first and then
on down another hundred or more feet
to the oil. In the future wells the ar
tesian flow of water will be shut off
so that the oil will have = chance to
flow to the surface unimpeded.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
= . ' '

New Orleans, May 7.-Cotton fu- lures opened steady at an advance of 3G4 points. Cables were about as expected. The weather map showed heavy rains in the central belt, light rains in the Atlantic and some rains ill South Texas. The precipitation caused heavy buying and put the trading months up to new high levels 12c. July was sent up to 12.26c. It was wholly weather market and no attention was paid to anything but weather reports. At the end of the first half hour prices were 12@13 points over yesterdays close.
 Profit taking by the longs increas- ed until, around the middle of the morning, there was enough pressure on the market to cause break. Off, ferings were met by a new demand from longs, based on the forecast of more rain in the cotton belt, but this inquiry was more than met and late in the morning the market had rather an easy time. Crop reports were un- favorable from nearly all sections of the belt, hut leading bull interests had apparently decided to withdraw their support until liquidation had de- creased. At noon the trading months were, points under yesterdays close.
 Futures opened steady. May, 12.06c; August, 12.03c; September, 11.95@ 11.97c; October, 11,S7@11.sSc; De cember, 11.90@11.91c; January, 11.92 @11.94; March, 11.9S@12.00c.

Re- ports of continued rains and bullish new crop conditions in the South and strength in Liverpool were factors in the advance, but the practical recov- cry of last weeks big loss inspired heavy realizing and prices during the middle of the morning were 5@6 points off from the best.
 Cotton futures opened firm. Jan uary, 11.SS@11.S9c; March, 11.95c of fered; May 11.4Sc bid; June 11.5Oc hid; July 11.64@11.65c; August. 11.65@11.56c; September, 11.70@ 11.75c; October, 11.75@11.76c; No vember. 11.s1c bid; December, 11.SS @11.S9c.
 The reactionary tendency noticed shortly after the opening carried prices off about 12@13 points from the best during the middle of the day. At this level offerings became less free and the market rallied , or 6 points on bullish weather reports and an unfavorable weekly weather bureau review. Spot nominal.
 The weekly weather report devel- oped no fresh feature and the mar ket was quiet with prices ruling steady and about 2@5 points net higher during the middle of the after noon.
 Spot closed quiet, 10 points higher. Middling uplands, 11.90c; middling, gulf, 1215c. No sales.
