ment today OF T. r. Revels. field man
for the McCaskel-W interests Of

dition Is general. II Is understood
that this concern has decided not to

Paying Three per Cent
DiUidends

Tho Owenwood pool No. 3, a sub
aiduary OF the OwenwOod oil corr
potatlon, has announced n three per
cent cash dividend for July, with n
total OF l6 per cent since March Is.
II VIII be remembered that the
oWenwood people secured i0-acre
lcaRo at MeNla. which owen wood
made famous by writing a descrip-
ton OF the first well. both well and
the description thereof bolng In a
class by themselves.
The well is now said TO have pro-
duccd more than 100000 barrels.
Speaking OF the conditions In the
oil business. Wood says. "It is
algniflcont that the largest corpora
lions are building extensive storage
facilities ana II is well known that
the largest profits are roalised dur
ing declining market. There are
several reasons for this The more
important reasons are the effect
these lower prices have on small
producers who are either Obliged
to sell their properties at sacrifice
prices, or become discouraged and
put their properties on the block.
TN the summer OF 1921, prices
OF producing properties were only
n fourth, and In some cases n NTH,
Of tho prices that had been asked
and secured prior 20 the drop from
ta5O TO 81 barrel. while the
present price cuts will not cause
such precipitate property price re-
ductions. there Ia evidence that real
bargains are TO be secured right
now. This In particularly true whore
banks have started calling loans and
small producers ana operators are
unable to carry the load, and must
AnrrifiCe even against their will"

Wheat showed less activity than

over night developments to cause any
enthusiasm on the buying side. While
there was considerable support on
the breaks in the main, II came
from shorts who were taking pro-
fits. a fair decrease In local con-
tract stocks Is expected to be shown
for the week, the receipts being g.
$4,000 bushels. owing TO the large
loadings out from public elevators,
contract stocks probably will show a
decrease OF around 100000 bushels,
leaving around 100000 bushels in
store.
Country offerings were not large
