 GREATEST IN WORLD
 According to MT. Finch the four will begin extensive developments soon. He declares that the Alabama oil field will be the greatest high grade oil territory in the world"
 For six years he has been of the opinion that there was oil in the Cor dova section and has spent every spare dollar in pursuing work to strike the oil. He is, perhaps, the most inter esting figure in the entire venture and is an authority on the subject Over S1O0,000 has been spent in bor- ing into the depths of the earth in search of oil. Six holes have been sunk. The first well was sunk more than 20 years ago.
 There are six wells in that section. The last. and the one that proved that oil in large quantities was in that field. is. on the Barney mine property and is termed No. l.
 At Flat creek another well has been sunk. At a depth of 1260 feet gas has been struck and there Is such a potential quantity that MT. Finch states that it is possible that 1t will be piped off and brought into Birmin gham, to be
 used for commercial and lighting purposes. The drillers have pro- tected the store of natural gas and it is stated that the volume is suf- ficient to warrant development.
 OTHER DRILLING At Bryan drillers have sunk a hole 3200 feet. Oil has been struck and 1900 feet of the total depth is occupied by oil. Water is above, but it is be- lieved that this can be pumped off and that the we'll can be developed and a good supply of the liquid secured. This we'll was drilled several years ago.
 Three miles north of Bryan the fourth well. drilled about three years ago, is located. No oil was found when

acter Of the present industrial activity
Is said TO be steadily decreasing.
The Boston district reports "excep-
tionslly good business in practically every
line" The cotton mills and the worsted
mills are said 10 be well sold UP. while
many are running over time Disturbing
factors in some business lines In this
district and discerned in the increasing
cost Of raw material and the unrest OF
labor
In the Philadelphia district many new
plants are being erected and many Of
the older ones are sold ahead for months
TO come. Labor is hard to obtain. wages
are high. and there seems to be a gen
eral shortage Of merchandise in all parts
Of the district. according TO the Phil

The Richmond agent points TO large
railroad earnings. the organization and
construction OF several new short lines
reported from North Carolina, the ap-
parenty healthful increased activities

Of debts and new credits rendered
available, as justifying the conclusion
that the general business condition Of
this district is good"
