On Saturday last, at Oil City, a score or so of producers and refiners held so Inform al meeting lo combine the Interests of tbe Pruilucors w i lb that of the Refiners' Combi nation under the title of tbe "Producers and lienors' Backlog and Storage Association." Jt was proposed that the Refining Assort - ation agree to take from the Pioducers As sociation 17 000 barrels ol etude daily, pay ing for October $3,90 per barrel, aud for November $4, continuing to take that amount uf oil at tbe .latter figure tbe year round, tbe refiners retalniag one dollar per barrel draw back as a gtiaranteo that the producers would sell to oo one else and keep the surplus production out of tbe market.- At the end ol ninety days tbe first months' draw back would be paid and so on after, -wards paying tha dollar land keeping back two. Io other words getting tbe use of a million or Dior of the producers money lor sixty days for Duthlog, the whole sinking fnod some day or other is mora , likely to go Into tbe courts and lawyers pockets than those of tbe loo confiding producers. It will be observed that tha producer give bonds Io the amount of a million or more to luilil coutraot, but tbe refiners put ap nothing and risk nothing. They can put teOoed Io 35o. aod the ex porter must take It at that for tbe shale oils o( Great Britain and crude of Canada can not. seriously interlere. The producers in the meantime cao mako only one dollar a barrel wblcb la held sixty days ahead as a collateral end subject to forfeiture. It teems to us that these Interests can only be combined on tbe basis of equal re sponsibility, equaKontrol and equal profits. We bave ofteo thought that If the reflnv Ing business was cojduatert oo the same general principles as a gristmill or a cheese factory, all antagonism of Interests would disappear. A refinery has tuy, 1,000 barrels crude 4(1 or 47 gravity delivered, and Immediately Us equivalent In standard white is given in return. The miller who lives on toll has tbe same inemi lu the free 0 wheat and Hour as tbe rarmer. Io tbii way the producer would all nothing but refined. Whatever fa tev d and mada in that business would accrun to bim. Tbe ultimata effect would bn If tbe producer! adopted this plao to transfer tbe refining busloess to tbe oil regions en tirely. Every producing district would bave a refining capacity equal tn the re quirements of Its product. Tbe double transportation and labor would be saved and would inure to tbe benefit of all con cerned. ' . Then, when theso things are so when by a sure, just and feasible plan the produ cers and refiners are tbe same, the violent fluctuations in market prices which bave ruiaed so many will occur no mure. Owing tu (ti Inniemeney of tbe we erttier last Weduewlay evening, the CilizV Meet ing was Dot s largely attended as it should bave been, perhaps not more than fifty be ing piesent. Now, as It concerns all wbo reside aod do business bere, let us all at tend, and by proper plea and protest en- deaver to get sucb changes effected as will give character and permanency to our prop erty and to the plaoe. This evening then, at tbe Grant & Wil son Club Room, at the usual bour, let every citizen and property holder be on band. Ad alarm uf lira Saturday ntgbt was caused by the building occupied by Mr. II. Pbelps as a friflt and vegetable store, calcb ing fire. Tbe fire was subdued before any particular damage was done.

Tbe producers bow seem thoroughly aroused to a full sense ol tbe Impending ruin that stares them Id tbe face and bave resolved, without much controver sy, to stop pumping aod drilling tor forty days. It must prove ao antidote to "too much oil," taking out of production nearly tbroe- fourthsof a million barrels io that time,and probably enhancing tbe price of the product la the following niuety days enough to can cel all loss from stoppage. Ia the meantime tbe greatest gain to the producers will be in tbe consciousness ever after of strength. It will forever inspire them with confidence in escb other when organized. It will convince tbe most skep tical that tbe producers are the uiasteis of tbe situation. After this the bear corners will be as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard. Tbe cere tainty that when tbe price le loo low, or the production too gre.it, tbat tbe wells will stop pumping, will give tons and BtrengtD to the market, and four dollars for the aver- 889 J faot W age price of crude will be an accomplished 'ells tbat must be pumped because of water cau be pumped on the ground or the oil burned up or otherwise deslioyc us last as pumped.
