THE OIL QUESTION.
The meeting of refiflen la the Statet
brought oat the Information that there Is re
fining eapaciiy In that country for 60,000
barrels of refined oil per day, while the for
eign and home market doee not call (or one
third ef that quantity; yet the effort to form
refiners' association to regulate their trade
frit through, aod ruinous competition con
tinues. The June report of the Titusville
Herald shows total production during the
month of 632,486 bbls, or a dally average ot
17,749 bbls.. It ie further remarked that
shipments show a decrease of about six hun
dred barrels daily, wlle wall reports pre-
ent considerably greater reduction.
Parker's Lending, and other favorite dis
tricts, show large decrease, and the ques
tion is seriously asked will the oil hold
oat? About million barrels is now held
la tankage, but with deolining yield that
quantity would soon be. reduoed. Hire lo
the Dominion we have large refining capac
ity and constant Increase, and we serious
iy reflect upon the questions; will the sup
ply of crude bold out? or Is there likely to
be sale for the oil manufactured ? Certainly
the quantity pumping la rapidly growing
less, while the large producing interests are
already pretty thoroughly gone over. It Is
possible that new district may be found,
but that Is problematical. Attention is al
ready turning to old localities and old boles.
Petrolia, Onfc, Advertiser.
From Mr. C. D. Jenoisou, of Kaoe City,
owner of the "Arrangement for Seed-Bagging
Oil VPella through Small Casing,"
patent for which has been applied for, that
the apparatus Is meeting with good success.
It has been used In several wells already,
and the production materially Increased.
OH operators will do well to examine Mr.

doing they will save money by purchasing.
