JULY OIL NOTES. Month Was an Active One in the Oil Fields. During the month of July there was great activity displayed in the Trenton limestone oil fields of Indiana and northern Ohio. It has been the greatest month since the first well that was discovered in Trenton rock crude was put down at Lima. The record for the month in both states was 893 completed wells, 13,225 barrels new daily production, 76 failures to find oil, 679 wells drilling and 308 rigs up, or a total on new work of 1,087, which speaks highly for the new work to tie done during August. The Indiana end of the field shows the greatest number of wells completed, production and dry holes, while the Ohio end shows more new drilling wells and rigs up. The advance in the price of the crude product during the month has stirred the trade to some extent, and will have a tendency to increase operations. Many of the oil men are holding their product for higher prices but it is a mistake. While the pipelines want the product, and want it badly, they will hardly advance the price very much in the face of a credit balance of over eleven million barrels. A shake up may lie given the trade most any day, and one that is large enough to create a sensation. There is not sufficient oil in sight to satisfy the refiners,as they prefer to have large stocks of crude on hand. THE ASSEMBLY. Rome City Chautauqua Closes Next Week.
