New York. Feb. 2s.-Trading on the Curb Exchange was again restricted in the petroleum group today although the statement of production last week. showing a decrease in output of 0,000 barrels daily, had a hardening in- fluence and there was a substantial inquiry at close to recently prevailing prices.

S2,5OO FIRELOSS IN
 CHESTNUT ST. BLAZE
Chief Noble Finds Broken Pipes
 Leading From Furnace

Damage estimated at about S2,506 by Fire Chief William J. Noble was caused this afternoon abouts2 o'clock by fire which practically gutted the interior of house at 60 Chestnut street. Henry w. Brewer, owner of the place, upon discovering the blaze, sent in a still alarm to Engine Co. No. 2. A bell alarm was sent from Box ' calling out the rest of the force.
 The building is constructed with a frame front and a brick addition in the rear. A barbershop was conducted by the owner of the building in the basement while Brewer and his family occupied the two other floors as a rooming house.
 Brewer stated that he was working in the barbershop when he was at- tracted by his wifes screams above. He rushed up the stairs and heard her shout that the building was on fire. She pointed to closet and when Brewer opened the door, a cloud of smoke and flame leaped out.
 The interior of the building on the second and third floor was practically gutted while the basement was hard ly touched by fire. The work of the firemen saved the structure from de- struction even though it seemed doom- ed from it's appearance on their ar rival there.
 Chief Noble in making an inspec- tion of the place after the flames had been brought under control, was shown the closet where Brewer stated that he had first seen the fire. It was in under a staircase leading from the first to the second floor and Brewer could give no reason for the flames. Chief Noble. upon going into the eel lar. discovered that the pipes leading from the furnace in which fire was burning. were broken and routed away. This he said. caused the fire and he ordered Brewer to have them repaired before he built another fire in it.
 During the course of the fire. sew eral of the firemen were partially oy- ercome by the smoke, but none was so badly affected as to require medi- cal aid. The building was entirely covered by insurance and Brewer said that he had a s2,i0o policy on the furniture.

BUFFALO TEXAS OIL co.
 WOULD ABROGATE TERMS
Claim is Made That the state At torney General Has Not Lived
 Up to His Agreement

Buffalo, N. l., Feb. 2S.-Officials of the Buffalo Texas Oil company an nounced today that steps would be taken to set aside the stipulation en- tered into with the state attorney general whereby the sale of stock in that company and the Buffal South western Oil company would cease. Breach of faith by the attorney gen erals office in making public the agreement to ease stock selling is charged by the oil company officials.
 Attorney Arthur F. Conley, repre- senting the oil company officials, said had been working on plan to re- duce the amount of outstanding stock and that when the attorney generals office outlined a plan of procedure, the stockholders and officials acquiesced.
 Attorney Conley denied that s500,- 900 in stock had been issued on leases worth between $2,0OO and s2,5O0, a charged in statement issued by At torney General sherman, and de- clared that existing assets are worth at least s5oo,OOo.
 Stock in both the Buffalo-TeXas Oil company and the Buffalo-S South western Oil company is held chiefly here, Chicago and St. Louis.
 Tn agresing to the plan of the at torney general for recognizing the company and reducing the amount of outstanding stock. the officers were merely putting into effect something that they had had in mind for some time" said Attorney Conley, "all this was based on the theory that nothing should be published until our people had chance to rcorganize and to save the asests."
 Now, however, we will make mo- tion at once to vacate the stipula- tions. We have been willing to go in court from the beginning. We have nothing to fear"
