Pennsylvania 9il is marked up to its highest price since petroleum gained a commercial ranking. There was a time when the fluctuations of this standard grade was accepted as bar- ometric of prices in all fields, and, altho the Mid-Continent by virtue of its relation tq the gasoline market has largly superceded Pennsylvania in this respect, the latter still re- tains an impressive position as a crude market indicato: This is apparently particularly true in the present in- stance as many of the influences which have caused the r in the East working in the case of the other fields. The growing demand for high grade oil for refining purposes is one of these influences. It has been in- creasingly apparent in the last few months that if this demand is to be met in the known oil fields, the price of crude must be at a high enough level to cover the increasing costs of drilling. In the tern fields where drilling costs are less but where the production per well is smaller, the price of crude oil must be sufficient to make it pay erate small wells. to op- the producing wells average a much r output, the price of oil must nto account the very heavy cost of drilling if new drilling is expected to continue.

The fact that both he and his brother in their first confession made statements which in the main corre- ly those blaming Newell for the murder, is explained by the statement that the elder Cor- dillo was permitted to interview the young after the latter first confes- on had been made, and before the elder brother’s confession in sub- stantiation had been obtained, and that during this interview the elder brother was informed by the younger what he must say in order to confirm the confession of the letter blaming Newell for the murder.
