Hancock," Sandusky and Seneca counties, where deeper drilling in terrl tory that was for the most part aban cloned years ago resulted in the completion 1 of wells that ranged in yield between twenty and sixty barrel the first day of production. The striking feature of the development hi this division was in the Tiffin district. Seneca county, on the coun tyf infirmary farm, Eden township, where the Sun company completed several wells that averaged more than UK) barrels in initial production and one well, finished early In September, that was credited it TTiO barrels on Its first Productive day.

in the Indiana division a moderate field activity was confined almost exclusively to the productive district, in the southwestern part of the state. Only five new productive! wells were reported from the vast area of Trenton rock production In the northeastern section, where the lack of activity is due to the almost total ex haustion of the natural ras that once Was so abundant in this division and to the depressed condition of the oil market. which prevented the substitution of other more expensive rueis for arming ana pumping tho wells of low yield in this area.

A temporary flurry in call loans to the highest quota tion in a year and a half also hastened liquidation in weak quarters. toppers and metals in general were little more than steady, despite declaration of many larger dividends warranted by vastly increased earnings1. Miscellaneous shares were mostly higher, but their advance with few exceptions, failed to enlist outside Interest or support. Foreign developments contributed to firmer tendencies, the success of the Rus sian forces against Austria and more de tailed reports of last week naval engagement in the North sea being reflected in the rise of British consuls.

coninoution to the beauty of art. Shakespeare haa touched with a glamorous beauty the romance of the young love in his "Romeo and Juliet'; Wagner handles the theme from something of the same standpoint in 'Meistersinger; Wagner, we think, has touched life from as many angles as Shakespeare, and is as many sided and miraculous in his wizardy.

Juna 10. The cotton market has been leaa active during the week.

The recent break to 12H cents 'for July contracts appeared to have placed the market in a firmer technical position, and future transactions since theni have been irregular with October contracts ruling between 13.62c and 13.00e, closing at 12.90c tonight. One of the chief features of the trading haa been the active buying here by houses with Liverpool connections to undo straddles. This buying haa been particularly prominent In July and October contracts, while there haa been aome selling of January and March for that account. The eaaler ruling of the ocean freight situation ia believed to have promoted this covering by atraddle short interests and at the same time haa Inspired talk of larger exports. Stocks of American cotton In both Manchester and Liverpool showed a sharp falling; off this week and with ocean freight rates lower there have already been indication of.lncreaaed activity on the part of foreign buyers aa reflected ty the larger sales reported' at various port markets.

It is also said that ocean freight room haa been used more freely from New York to Liverpool than for some time and further shipments are consequently expected from the local stock. These featurea have encouraged some scattered buying but domestic spinners are reported to be holding off for a nearer view of the crop while speculative support haa been discouraged by the dwindling hope of an early peace, and the favorable view of Immediate weather and crop condl tlona. There was some talk of excessive rain at a few pointe ln belt and of unseasonably low temperatures in eeveral districts, but very few crop damage reports have been received and Friday's appearance of clearing weather with rising; temperaturea. strengthened expectations of a favorable July bureau. According to the final figures of the department of agriculture, the acreage planted last year amounted to 32.107,000 acres compared with the preliminary estimate of acres, and the average yield of lint cotton an acre was 170.3 pounds.
