late Tuesday night developed water
in the sand which produces oil in the
Genou Oil and Gas company's wells,

Tuesday evening it was the inten-
tion to drill into the sand and set
string Of casing before completing the
hole, but with the appearance Of the
water, installation of the pipe was not
necessary. The hole, which logs 1874
feet lower than the Genou wells, will
be drilled to the Madison-EIlis con-
tact.
The sand was reached at 1884 feet
and water came into the hole between
1880 and 1856. the flow amounting toI
approximately 100 barrels a day The
hole was continued to 1850 feet, att
which depth the sand had not been
passed through and the water appas
sntly was increasing.
A report on the well was brought
to Great Falls Wednesday night By
Z. B. Coolidge, chairman Of the oil
committee for the Chamber of Com
merces here and the drilling contractor
employed by the Brittan-DeSchonI
sroup. which is composed by 16 Great

BULLS HAVE EDGE
ON CURB MARKET
Line of Least Resistance on
Side of Advance in To-
days Dealings.
BY WILLIAM II. HEFFERNAN.

special DlSpatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 19.-The action
of the curb market today indicated
that despite the improvement of the
past eight days the line of least re-
sistance still lay on the side Of ad-
vancing prices. The main body Of
stocks was merely moving upward
under the momentum gathered on
previous days, although there was a
growing belief that technical reac-
ton was overdue.
One Of the outstanding incidents
was the rise of approximately 6 points
to new high in American Rolling
Mil common. The demand evidently
was based on benefits expected to be
derived from the huge program Of ex-
pansion.
The pressure against American
Arch was lifted, at least temporarily.
Recent selling was attributed to dis
sension among the directorate as q
result of several recent important
changes. 1t also was recalled that
since the company's patent rights ex-
PRED last September competition has
been more severe, but so far this has
not been reflected in earnings which
for the first six months kept pace
with those for the same period last
year.
Electric Bond and Share broke
rather sharply following publication
of earnings for the 10 months ended
May 81. These were equal to $500
q share, compared with $6.97 a share
In the previous IL months. American
Gas & Electric, on the other hand, con-
tinued in demand at advancing prices.
Prairie Pipe Line featured the
Standard Oils. rising into new high
ground for the year, following a brief
period of profit taking. The action of
the stock indicated expectations of
another special distribution. Vacuum
Oil was another favorite and Humble
was by no means neglected. The low.
priced Columbia Syndicate was
heavily dealt In at improved prices,
although there were apparently no
new developments within the com.
pany to account for the improved
tone.
Among industrial specialties Grand
Stores and Richmond Radiator were
in demand.
