We find the following article on the situa
tloo of the oil trade In the Eist Brady Incj-e
peudent:
Tbe situation In oil Is oot what il should
be, but tbe indications are favorable for a
wholesome ohange. The change will not
come tnis week, nor next week, but It will
como before long. The pioduction cf the
Butler districts is uot so large as people
outside the region suppose. The stiikes
bare been greatly over estimated. But few
were as larga as reported, ami tbo produc.
lion of these has lulleu off wonderfully.
From our owu observation we know o' wella
dropping from one thousand bairols a day to
less than ont-uolf this amuunt, end Ibis,
too, within four days irora , the tune they
were struck. The Troottoun well is per.
haps, the only well in the how district tba
has maintained Its larg production lor any
considerable length of lime.
When wo take into consideration the fnc
tho production i falling off rapidly at homo1
and that the demand Is Incruasing In foreifr,',
countries, we can ooly conclude thnt the
woiatisover. The low price of poil ha.
ueeu uii iu wiuu uorc, oui it tilow to some
advantage bcioss tho seas. It hap, in a
manner, driven tho shale oil, of European
miinuracture, irom tho tnaiket, and thus
disposed of a rivil th it has given us som
trouble. In consequence ot this our expor
iraue is increasing eaoh month, and unless
some monopoly presents itself, will coutlnuo
to incieasr. iieu who devoto their entire
nttFutiou to Iho business, do not expect ol
to leach a much lower llgnro than it is a
uow, and when the "bottom" is once touch'
td, a re-aciloa will tulto place. Oil will
advance in pi ice as rapidly as it fell, and
prosperity will pievail ooca more in thu m
gioo. .Men who bave oil i& tank now wil
be wise to hold it for a few mouths, when a
fair price for the product can easily be ob
turned.
Our former townsmen Messrs. Egbert
and Payne, are In luck. 1 hey bavo two
