A correspondent of tbe "Meedvllle Repub
lican, writing from Foxbnrg, says:
There Is muoh excitement alto In oil OlM
cles, owing to the discovery of an Immense
oilfield, northeast of St. Petersburg, hereto
fore undeveloped. Very large wells are be
ing struck almost daily. 1 was In Clarion
on Saturday and great exoitement was pre-
vailing there, owing to a new strike of oil
within ODs.hatfmile ol the borough. Tbe
well was down through tbe third aaod, ta
depth of 1,180 feet, and tbey olaimed five ot
tlx buudred feet ofoll in tbe bo'e. Should
tbla prove to be a good oil well, it will opoo
up another vast oil Held, making this (lis
argeat oil development on record, and
preading over nearly tbe whole of Clarioo
oiunty and tbe northern part of Armstrong
county, and tbe central part of Butler oouo-
ty. Thus it seems there is no end ol tbls
great source of commerce, buried hundreds ol
feet in tbe earth. Tbe great question with
tbe producers now Is, what shall be done to
stop tiie further production ofoll, w blob l
now far In advance ol the demand, until tbe
production shall exceed the demand. Up
on the solution ol this question hangs the
prosperity on financial ruin of tbe producers-
Tbe oombioation of producers In different
parts of the oil region, for tbe purpose of
s oppina the furtbe r drilling of new well
or six mm tba, if carried out In every part,
may be tbe means of raising tbe price ol oil
bat this relief is ouly temporary, and at tbe
end of six months they will find themselves
Id the same positloo they are today, and
will then be called upon to solve tbe ssme
problem which bas been tbrowo upon them
at tbe present lime, which io greatly embark
rasslog tb em at present.

The Dear la the Oil SlarketN
Yesterdsy tbe oil producers were startled
to find that tbe Tldloute oil market bad
dropped lo $2,40, while tbe Oil City mar
ket s'.ill beld its own at $3,15. To-day it
is still worse. No maiket at Fagundas yes
terday, to-day wa have noon here. What !
tbe trouble with tbe oil? One or Ihe pro
ducera said this morning wbea aked tbe
question, that It was it was sick, 'decided
ly sick."
Tbe trouble Is Ibat no ears can be procur
ed to ship tbe oil. It Is said tbal there are
oil cars al Garland standing on Ibe road and
of no use whatever and yet, tbe controllers'
of tbe railroad say tbey can get no cars.
Why is tbis tbuslyf Simply because tbe re
liners have reaobed oiit tbrlr bands tilled
with mooey, behind iheir backs, and Ihe
railroad, tboning a smiling from to tbe
producers bas taken it.
This morning oil is worth 11 etc., la New
York. At this rate oil al tb wells in tbis

Ing 20 cent for piping f 3,34 cents at Ibe
cars. Aod it is quoted al f 2,50, with a
prospect or being at (2, 10.
Producera you ara only losing about a
dollar a barrel by your non-aetloo. So
talk on, and don't act, and let the refiners
eat you up and soon al Ibe rat yon are now
losing, drlva lo tbe well aud force you un
der tbelr thumbs. If you act at all It must
be now! Tldloute Journal.
