On Lukens Town Lot

for years to get foothold in the oil BUSH
ness. They drilled a well near Glacier
Park and found nothing. They quit oil
and went into mining for time but were
lured back by the success of other opera
srto in Cut Bank. They capitalized their
acquaintance gained while drilling the Wild
cat well near Glacier park and succeeded in
getting a lease from John Clark, famous
park artist, on the west edge of Cut Bank
field. They drilled well on the Clark
farm. but it was a small producer. Undis-
mayed, they secured lease from Ed Lulins
on his addition to Shelby lease that had
been passed up by other operators on the
theory that this was state land and that
the oil rights did not go with the title. Thus
the Jeffries and it might be added that
the two members of the firm are Mr. JEFF
ries and Mrs. Jeffries-are today well on
the way to easy street If they do nothing
more than spend the rest of their days
operating this well.
Other operators say that it will make
from Is to 100 barrels initial, judging by
the porosity of the sand and the rate at
which the hole filled with oil.
Ed Lukens is a nonresident investor who
was stuck with his townsite property,
with little prospect that he would ever get
his money out. Last spring he wanted to
sell this property but none was willing to
buy it at any reasonable price, even on the
basis of town lots. Accordingly, he was
forced to keep it until now when it turns
into an income of $40 to $40 day from
his retained one-eighth royalty.

Sugar Trade Waits

The sugar trade spent the week
waiting for an announcement
from Washington on quotas for
the 1nsular possessions and Cuba,
and also other missing data ap-
plicable to the sugar bill. The
volume Of trading in futures on
the New York Coffee and Sugar
Exchange consequently was small
and prices moved in a narrow
range. The net result for the
week was unchanged to 2 points
higher. Interest is centered on a
new reciprocal trade treaty with
Cuba, which, If negotiated, it IS
thought will increase that Islands
preferential from 20 per cent to
perhaps 40 or so per cent.
In the raw market only nearby
sugars sold. All the sales were

Of forward shipments duty frees

COTTON EASIER
AND D[|STLESS

NEW YORK, May 81 GN.S0.
The cotton market today eased
in one Of the dullest sessions in
weeks.
Trading was moderate from the
cali when the run Of contracts
were virtually unchanged. After
the opening, futures dipped for
small losses and then held within
a narrow range at the days lows.
Dealings in the forenoon were
composed Of sales by the South
and scattered commission house
liquidation, as against price fixing
and buying for the Far East.
Trade demand today was neg
ligible.
It was dry in the cotton belt
over the weekend, except for local
showers in scattered sections OF
Georgia, Louisiana and southern
Arkansas, The FosSick bureau Of
Memphis. stated in weekly survey
that cotton planting is practically
completed except in portions Of
the northwest, where completion
is not expected before June !.
Worth Street Better
There was slight pickup in
Worth Street business today, but
not enough to affect cotton prices,
or relieve the gloom over the pos
sibilities of curtailments in June,
July and August. The curtailment
announcement was still awaited,
and seemed to be a primary basis
for many of the bearish views
held in the trade.
One other matter holding the
attention of cotton men IS the i'm
pending presidential silver mes
sage slated for today or tomorrow.
The trade, however, is much d.
vided in its views as to the mes
sage,s possible effect marketwise.
Noon quotations were off to
5 points, with July off 4 at 11.45,

TRADING TREND
SEASONAL

In it's weekly summary Of ths
general business situation, tn
Standard Statistics Company, Q.
New York, currently comments al
follows:
"Signs Of a seasonal SIacken-
ing in general business activity
have become increasingly ap-
parent during the past week,
with prices for q number Of raw
and finished materials receding
under the impetus Of curtailed
production.
'The steel industry, which is
operating at the highest rate
for the year, is . conspicuous ex-
ceptiOn to the general trend.
It is doubtful whether this level
will be fully maintained since .
large portion Of output obviously
is going into inventories. The
dOwntren6 Of scrap steel prices
also suggest a leSSening Of pro-
ductiOn over the near term.
Electric power output shows
an increase over the preceding
week, but a smaller excess over
q year ago than recently has
been reported. Automobile pro
dUctiOn is near the recent peak,
although with some shifts in the
rate Of activity Of various manu-.
facturerS. Indications are that
freight car lOadings are being
kept on an even keel, at q level
not far below that SeasOnaIly
to be expected.
"The seasonal influences at
work undoubtedly will extend
the general dOwntrend of bust
ness volumes over the next sew.
eral months. Nevertheless, there
is still no indication that the
reaction will greatly exceed
usual proportions, or that con-
fidence in the outlook will be
materially disturbed"
