Resignation of Prairie Oil
and Gas Head Significant

Decisive reductions in the prices of
crude oil are seen by oil men gem
orally in the resignation late Tues.
day OF j. Il. o'Nel. president of the
Prairie OH S Gas company.
What IS expected by the stock
market Of Wall street and the OIL
Industry. is shown in the dispatch
received in Casper yesterday after.
noon by Wilson, Cranmer & Com.
pany. The message follows:
Tho resignation OF O'Neil from
the Prairie OIL & Gas company Is
Indicative Of inside problems ana.
we believe. foreshadows another
drastic cut In gasoline and oil
prices. Today's market should be
carefully watched"
II Is said that o'Neil's policy has
always boon to stand by the inde.
pendent, small operators and pro.
d%ucers. believing that their pros.
perity was tho prosperity OF the
Prairie and that to cut tho prices
OF crude oil to n point whore tho
independent producer was wiped
out, was also to ruin the Prairie
OIL & Gas company.
That O'Noil interfered with nny
plan OF his company 20 cut crude
pricesin tho Midcontinent fold more
than the reduction which came
carly this summer. is a widely held
opinion. In order. therefore, to ef.

Heavy Offerings and
Weak Demand

NEW YORK. Sept ia large
volume of selling orders again cut
prices extensively in today's stock
market. influenced largely by the
u~nfavorable tenor of European
news and less encouraging reports
from the steel industry. Profess
sional traders were active on the
selling side and heavy profit TAX
Ing sales were again IN evidence.
Sales Appropriated one million
shares.
NEW YORK. Sept. 1s.-sellinE
was renewed at the opening OF to-
days stock market with some OF the
sugars and low priced oils display
Ing conspicuous heaviness. Mar
land dropped 2h points to n new
low price for the year at 24K and
American Sugar and Cuba Cane
Sugar preferred were down q point.
Selling was OF a rather varied
character during tho first half hour
with members OF nearly all OF the
active speculative groups suffering
in the decline. Losses in several In
stances ranged from / TO . points
among tho industrials and special
ties with several railroad shares ex-
hibiting heaviness. Buying orders
were encountered for some shares
at tho lower levels, DUPONT. Foundn-
ton company and Jones Brothers
Tea scoring advances OF about a
point each. Foreign exchanges
opened lower.
Unfavorable foreign political
news Including n Spanish revolt and
continued lack of agreement on the
Italian-Greek controversy, influenc.
ed further selling for both accounts
during tho first hour today with
bear operators taking full advantage
of tho reported slowing down I'm
the steel industry. Steel shares,
however. were no heavier than
other popular stocks ana United
States Steel met support at .s9Ts.
Fractional advances occurred at the
start of the second hour but the
general list again turned heavy
toward moor and prices continued
downward, all the steel shares be
ing offered freely. Call money
opened at S per cent.
Failure OF material support TO de
velop for tho independent stee.
stocks which were carried down {

Conditions in Madrid present a
normal aspect, no especial agitation
by the people being noticed. The
army an a whole. Il is declared. re.
mains loyal 10 the government.
The cabinet is remaining in ses-
sion and tho government expressed
confidence In It's ability to stamp out
the revolt movement
According TO some Of the Madrid
newspapers the garrison at San Sc
bastin imprisoned Foreign Minister
Santiago Alba while others express
tho belief that he escaped across the
frontier into France. None Of these
reports IS confirmed.
Since tho early morning II had
been rumored that tho cabinet was
in an extremely difficult position.
According to Information from an
administration source a document
had been distributed among the
garrisons severely oensuring the
government and demanding It's
resignation.
The news of this proceeding
caused a cabinet meeting 20 be
hastily summoned and increased
the unrest.
The president Of the council dc
Jared the meeting had been ON
voked to deal with q question OF a
purely international nature, but Il
was generally considered that the
document circulated waH the real
reason for the c~onvocation.
The document Ia said to have de.
clared that the situation in Spain
was most complicated and that tho
government had lost all public con.
fidence as the result Of It's low
morale and corruption.
The first meeting Of the cabinet
ended at 2 o'clock this morning.
when tho ministers asserted the
situation WINS normal ana returned
70 their homes, but during tho
night tho premier went TO the home
of the minister OF marine where tho
cabinet was summoned to meet
again before dawn and the captain
general of madrid, Munoz Cobo was
summoned TO attend the discussions
OF tho ministers.
At 4 a. m. the captain renerai
made the following statement to tho
press.

lection OF oil field equipment, crude
oils from ell tho fields and samples
OF all tho petroleum products manu-
featured in the Casper ~renneries.
this exhibition easily surpassss any
other single thing In the whole State
Fair.
The oil business is represented by
a chart prepared in Casper and de-
picting the whole geological column
OF this region. Here Geologist Tay-
Tor lectures on tho different sands
and other horizons and then takes
his audiences through the processes
of actual drilling Of wells by means
OF a model drilling machine which
Is In actual operation and shows
the work as It is actually done in
the field. The manne of setting
casing. drilling the hole and produc-
ing the oil is shown so clearly that
even n small child can easily under
stand the different processes.
A miniature oil field is shown that
IS actually pumping oil from the
well and then n great exhibit Of the
refined products is shown by sam
pies from each cut or division so
that anyone can clearly understand
all that takes place IN tho petroleum
industry that has placed Casper as
tho largest city OF this State.
The exhibit is due to the efforts OF
tho Casper Chamber OF Commerce
and the Midwest Refining company
officials. Through tho cooperation
Of Mr.. Ellison OF tho Midwest. tho
Standard OF Indiana came forward
with contributions Of oil samples
and other material and the Con.
tlnental OIL company also supplies
much of worth. Then the different
