HIGH PRICE OF REFINED OIL Ought to Bring About $2 Crude Oil, But It Hasn't, and Thereby Hangs a Tale?The Pipe Line Beport An alyxed to Show That the Producer Ought to Benefit by the Advances j in Beflned?Operations in the Field. The pipe line report for the month of December, Just Issued, presents food for thought and will be read not only by the producing element with Interest, but by every one engaged in the various branches oC the great industry. The report shows that the exports of petroleum and its different products are below those for the past ten months, yet they are above the shipments for December in the year 1898. In this connection particular attention Is directed to the Increase in cash returns, and while we have shipped considerable less oils, the amount received for it shows a remarkably large percentage In gain. The year 1899, compared with 1898, indicates by the official figures that there were over 35,000,000 gallons less oil sent abroad In the year just closed than in 1898, but on the other hand over J12.000.000 more was received for It. Export oil commands two and a hall cents more at the present time j than it did at this time in December, 1898. At this writing the prevailing price for export oil delivered in bulk j on board tank steamers at the port of New York, is 7.40 cents per gallon, the highest quotations that have ruled for some time. Upon the basis of the refined market, crude should bring a much higher price and Just why the crude market does not j keep pace with the refined product is a j question the producers fail to understand. They fully realize that at this 1 period of the year, refined and bi-pro.ducts are not in great demand, yet they think when refined commands the present high price it does, there Is no logical reason why the producers should ndt share in the advance. They can I find no bearish conditions ir. the field situation and unhesitatingly affirm tliat if equity was meted out they would be receiving at least $2 a barrel for their i product. A comparison with past re- I . ports of the various pipe lines show | that the exports for the entire year of 1S99 were less than they have been since 1856, while at the same time the cash returns were greater than any previous year. In 1S99, according to the reports, I the month of August showed the largest shipments In the petroleum export trade in the history of the trade. And tbis was not only true In the number of gallons exported, but also In valua- ; tlon and established a record not likely j to soon be broken. The amount ship- | ped in September was considerably below the figures for August, footing up about seven and a half million gallons, but owing to the great demand and buoyant market, the amount in valuation was In the neighborhood of half a ' million dollars greater. Thin was certainly a banner month, as a careful comparison of past reports show that September was the first time in the history of the trade that American export shipments of oil amounted to % more than seven million dollnrs in one month. As compared with September, = the shipments in the month of October were more than nine and one-half mll_ lion gallons in amount, and nearly six hundred thousand dollars less in valuation. but nevertheless, was quite a good record In every particular. So did the November report show a falling off with October and the record was orcr 1000.000 gallons In amount and nearly $90,000 In valuation. The shipments in December show a decided falling off of more than seventeen million gallons, as compared with the previous month, the decline in cash returns being over $1,^ 200.000. In December. 1899. there was I an Increase of almost 120.000 gallons and I more than I1.2SO.OOO in money received I for it above the record for December. wnen tne record vi .viruuiun. 1890, Is compared with that of the same month In 1898. a gain Is shown of nearly 52.000,000 In value and almost 6.000.000 gallons in nmount. The month October recorded yet n larger Increase, both in amount and value as compared with !lie same month In 1898. For the month of September, the total exports of mineral oil products were between four and Ave million gallons more than In September, 189S, while the Incrense In value was over two and one-quarter million dollars. In the month of August the shipments of American oils were almost three million gallons more than they were for the month of August the year previous, while the Increase in valuation footed up over $1,500,000, In July the shipments of export oils fell off from those In July, 1S98, by more jn than 8.000.000 gallons, but In valuation the gain was a net million and a half in K. cash returns. It Is shown by the United States treasury departments statistical reports that the exports of mineral oils for the month of December, which embraces crude, Illuminating, lubricating oils, etc., amounted to 65,931,073 gallons, and In valuation footed up 9 15.476.027. For December. 1199, they amounted to 65,870,049 gallons, bringing a net cash return of 14,194.267, which Is an Incrense of 121,024 gallons and In valuation 11.281.770. The December ex=a ports decreased, as compared with November. 17.687,679 gallons, and In valua_ tlon $1,156,226. f At the close of December, 1899, the reports show that our total exports of g crude, naphthas. Illuminating and lu brlcatinK oil, resldum. etc.. for the twelve months, amounted to 151.024.441 gallons, and In valuation, $64,982,249. This Is about 35,500.000 gallons less thnn the preceding twelve months, but the valuation on cash returns Is $12,451,201 greater and the heaviest for any preceding year In the history of the petroleum Industry. Thus It will be observed by the foregoing reports that the appreciation In values has more than made arood the falling off In the foreign demand for American oil. In (he yenr 1898. the total export* of petroleum and Its bi-products were 9S6.4N0.fil0 gallons, tipon which was plnced a valuation IR2.fiSl.04R. For the yenr 1897. they were 994.297.7S7 gallons, valued at $59,057 54. For 1896 the exports footed up 931.78S.022 gallons In amount and In valuation 162.764.278. 5, while In 1895 our exports Amounted to * 853.126.130 gallons, bringing a cash re 51 turn of >56.224.425. The reports of the TFk exportH of crude and refined petroleum. 'C lubricating oils, naphthas and resldum for October, were 83,138,165 gallons, valued at $6,427,038, While for October. 1898, they footed up 79.524.K27 gallons, valued at $4,643.14?. This shows nn Increase of 3.613,338 gallons. and In cash returns of $1,783,890. Our exports for October fell off from September, 9.515,622 galloon nnd the corresponding decrease In vultm tlon wu iBTO.ftw. mo kiwi; ... dtlon In vnltir of American petroleum pxports without nutation demonstrated thplr superiority over nil foreign pro1" ducts, nnrt that the American refiner Is nble to rlotnnnd proorl price* from *hlpP<*rs, and also thnt the foreign sltuatlon has wonderfully Improved slK-e the beginning of the yenr.

Another week In the world of olldom A pi has passed Into history without any All material change In the general situation. The same bullish tendency that ! has characterized the trade for the ' ? past six months still prevails, and at*'0* this writing there is nothing in sight to th change the present situation. The re; fined market remains firm, although the Demand at present is not as great as it "W | has been. Crude for some reason does v? ...uk ?,,? ** (not spcm to Keep in nym^um^ ?*.?? . ? reflntd product*, and an yet no one has 211 ventured the opinion why this is so. Reports from field operations Indicated a falling off in new work in every sec- qe tion. from the polar regions down to the extreme limits of the sunny southwest teea district. The experimental drill, how- Loaj ever, is still In as much evidence as ever, and it anything, this class of . work Is on the Increase. While noth- "cni ing of great importance has taken place Judf In the field, there were one or two new This strikes made during the week, in ter_, whJch considerable Interest Is manifested. c0?1 Perhaps the most Important dlscov- and ery is the ifcw well located on the Tay- jt lor farm, Lewis county, W. Va., and In the Camden district. The new well is ml" owned principally by Porkersburg par- one ties, but Just what It will amount to the J when thoroughly tested remains to be d t seen. The drill tapped the pay in this well Friday and made several small F11 flows of salt water and oil. Operations Alfr were suspended until tankage could be Gen? built, and by to-morrow or next day it v will be drilled in and its correct status v*" known. The new venture is located In Sei the neighborhood of three-fourths of a g. J. mile east from the Southern Oil Com pany's Camden No. 1. and aooui iour and one-half miles from Weston In the Kce( same direction. Some claim that the Th oil was found In the Keener sand, mgg while other* think the oil is derived M from the salt sand formation. Many " * wild stories were set in circulation as Lanj to its calibre, which made the well Fo range in production from 200 barrels to Mr8< 1,000 barrels a day. The owner, how- . ever, said when Interviewed about their new strike, that they thought it would Dr. ! make a twenty or twenty-flve barrel pu producer when tested. There are a few b d who claim to know nil nbout Camden ? territory and are positive the new ven- **'n8 ture will make on the start-off at least SIj fifty barrels a day. There Is also a lurking suspicion in the minds of some * . that deeper drilling will produce a >v' 1 wonderful change, and It would cause Se' them no surprise to see a gusher de- Dr. ] veloped. R b( However this may be. the territory In this vicinity is in good demand and c" A that "which is not already taken up is Mr. being leased as rapidly as possible. If jjj. the Taylor farm well does not turn out w r any better thnn did the Camden No. 1, n* It Ib not the least likely the market will Bow be materially affected. Already there Mrs. are two or threo new rigs building ?0_ near thr? new well, while half a dozen * more locations have been staked off by Tr' different parties. ton. This week a test well of pome Importunce was* completed In the Cadiz DuB . ??- _?. ???n onHro fnllurp Van< pool, WI1IU41 |IIU?CU ?... and condemned a considerable amount Mr. of prospective territory, which until the well was completed looked reasonably * good. ***"* The. different shallow sand pools of At "West Virginia still continue .to make a ^j,e ' good record. In fact the shallow sand . diggings are showing up better than asai? any of the other formations, and if mun operations continue in the future to be Wi as succcssful ns they have been in the D r pnst three months, quite a large pro- ' ductlon may be looked for from this E* * formation. Ec A new well was found recently In the j5ew Big Injun formation a little In ad- r 1V vance and to the east of the Berea grit developments in Washington county, and in the Scottown district It was Mrs. drilled by the Henderson Oil Company pa and has an official record of twenty- _ Ave or thirty barrels a day. This Is ^nJC1 looked upon as one of. if not the most Mrs. important, well drilled in this pool for a<3 some time, and whlrh undoubtedly will result In considerable more new work in the Big Injun formation. DegH The United States Oil Company in ing the past two years have been one of jate, the most successful corporations en- . gaged In the production of oil In the aiOK southwest fields. Two years ago. when com! Mr. W. II. D. Chapln took charge of inve the company's affairs, their production _an was about tl>n barrs a day, but under his supervision It has Increased to l"at over 2.000 barrels a day. which is a re- est i cord hard to beat. Their operations hlbit oever the pools In Wetzel. Marlon, Pleasants. Wood and Harrison counties in West Virginia, and Harrison, Mon- nam ro<^ and Washington counties in Ohio, havi This company has under lease 10.000 or over 12,000 acres of territory and has 300 pumping wells. At present, owing to talie the bad condition of the roads, they are exhi running but three strings of tools. This Th week. Theodore Barnsdall & Company h, bought the Strickler Oil Company property. on WhJskcy Bun. consisting of cha? three wells and one hundred acrcs. for aftei $12.000?no production. 0f c TnE SCOUT. ?
