Oil and Gas.

So far as development work applied
70 the Eastern fields, the week closed
with no important discoveries and
leaving the advance of 5 cents In the
crude market the only feature. Pro-
1ucers and operators are OF the opin'
ion that the advance will be followed
by another in the near future. 1t is
we'll understood that the Eastern
fields are not supplying enough
crude to meet the demand and the
source OF a new supply Is not now
apparent.
More gas wells than oil producers
comprise the late competitions in the
West Virginia fielis. On Bens run,
Liberty district. Marshall county, the
Carnegie Natural Gas company drilled
1 test on the Elizabeth Emery farm
through the Big Injun sand. 1t is

Company completed test on the

n the same formation.

more than five barrels a day. In

", located 1000 feet southeast of
