BRISK RALLIES IN INDUSTRIALS NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Industrial stocks resumed their upward movement in spectacular fashion today and brisk rallies at the opening reflected the enthusiastic reception of reports from London that the Germans had agreed to the terms of evacuation of the Ruhr and that final agreement on the reparations question was in sight. In addition, weak-and business reports were uniformly favorable. A sharp advance in American Can was attributed partly to the hasty covering of shorts and the same is true of Mack Truck, U.S. Steel, Ealdwin and a number of other high price stocks in which the upward movement has been pronounced in recent weeks. Gains or 2 or 3 points were also recorded in the medium-priced industrial steel and copper stocks like Allis-Chalmers, Westinghouse, Gulf States Steel, Colorado Fuel and Iron and other representative shares. The coppers made a strong response to the favorable foreign developments on the expectation that the copper trade will derive a large benefit from the revival of continental industry. Anaconda sold up nearly a point at 39, Kennecott at 49½, United States Smelting made a new high at 32. St. Louis & San Francisco Pfd. and Southern Railway continued to dominate the railroad list, the former at 61½ being at the highest price in ten years, while Southern, above 67½, was at the highest price in the history of that road. Shipping stocks enjoyed a strong market today as prospects for the resumption of over-seas trade appeared brighter. International Merchant Marine crossed 40 for the first time since the decline in the market started in March, and American International sold up nearly a point. Independent steels made a better showing than in the last few days. Gulf States advanced to 75, representing a rise of nearly 1 percent in nearly a year.

At the horse show large money WEEKLY REVIEW OF OIL INDUSTRY Completion records at Torrance were boosted last week by the Shell company. Seven wells were added to the production list. Of the completions two were on the March lease, three on the Bluemie and two on the Scarborough property. The wells ranged in depth from 3850 to 3904 and the production ran from 200 to 400 barrels. The average gravity of the new producers was 18. At Kettler No. 2 the Shell's deep test well of the Torrance field a depth of 4300 feet has been reached and to-date the well has shown nothing particularly encouraging beyond the present production zone. The well is the most important one now drilling in the field. The Superior Oil Company presented to the Torrance field its largest producer for the past week at Torrence No. 28. This producer drilled to 3818 started off at 524 barrels. In addition to putting on production the field's largest producer for the week the Superior has started four new wells and has a development program underway that includes 10 wells. At Dominguez a real surprise was given oil operators and land owners by the splendid showings both the United and Marland Oil company got on the extreme southeast section of the field. At 4165 the Marland Oil company's Dominguez well got showings that necessitated the immediate setting of pipe. The United at 4108 commenced to show oil and gas pipe was set at 4122. The good showings created a distinct surprise in that neither well was considered to have a chance of being on the structure, and hence a substantial southeast extension of a mile or more is not quite probable for the Dominguez field. The Associated Oil Company's DefFrance No. 1 at Dominguez is a total wreck, the gas blow out of last week having completely destroyed the well and its equipment. A second well is now under way to take the place of the ill fated No. 1. The cause of the WATTIS LEADS FOR UTAH DELEGATES SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 15. In one of the closest political struggles ever held in Salt Lake co., Gov. Charles R. Maby and William H. Wattis, leading Republican gubernatorial candidates battled in the primaries for a majority of the delegates to the state convention in the Salt Lake Theater, Aug. 20. With only one or two districts missing returns indicate honors are about evenly divided, with Wattis probably slightly in the lead. If any difference develops in a re-check it will probably favor Wattis as returns show he won by a fair margin in the city and broke nearly even in the country. Claims of B. G. Morgan, Watis campaign manager, Saturday morning were that Wattis had won 65 per cent of the delegates.

TWO MEN DROWN AT SEAL BE LOS ANGELES, ARTHUR C., Comerford and B Moore are dead here GARAGE BURNED foot mark were not found and as it outcome increases. The Sentinel Oil Company is guarding all information on the well with extreme care even stacking the drill pipe crosswise in the derrick to make it more difficult for the scouts who count the stands. At Long Beach A. T. Jergins has scored again. On the City's Water Yards Jergins completed No. 12 and got a 1200 barrel well flowing high gravity oil. Along with the big flow of oil some six million cable lines of rich gas is coming to enrich the output of the absorption plant. A. T. Jergins has two more wells underway. Nos. 13 and 14 and both these have every indication of duplicating No. 12. The Federal Drilling Company has been working on the Leedom well for several months, only recently the well starting to make any kind of a showing, and now at 4345 feet it is looking like the real thing. W. R. Ramsey's Municipal No. 4 failed to make the showing on production it should have made at 4570 feet and is being carried on deeper. Some splendid results are being achieved at Santa Fe Springs now in the way of rejuvenating old producers. Recent and notable successes have been the returning of the Donnellly well at 2000 barrels, the Schaff-Noble well at 700, the doubling of the production of the Bellevow Oil Syndicates two wells and Co-operative Petroleum Syndicate's No. 1. The increased production is being accomplished by the installation of more efficient pumping equipment, plugging back of wells to the Foy and Nell zones and the simple cleaning and swabbing out of old holes. The Vosberg Petroleum Company is doing its best to put Arcadia on the oil map of Southern California and to this end report this loss of oil sand mixed with shale from 4080 feet to the present depth of 4400 feet. While the well is not given much consideration by the oil fraternity and petroleum engineers it might spring a surprise. The well was located by a man who claims to be able to locate the black gold, and its success or failure will have a lot to do with the gentleman's future, likewise his standing in the oil world.

SUPREME EFFORT TO BLOCK FIRE SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.—A supreme effort was made today by fire fighters to encircle the great Mariposa-co. fire that threatens to leap into the confines of Yosemite National Park. More than 500 men recruited from convict road camps, lumber mills, hydro-electric projects and national park rangers, went into action against the Sweetwater fire which after being checked in one direction leaped the Merced River. Forestry service officials were hopeful the new drive would succeed in definitely encircling the fire. This and the closing of the entire Modoc National Forest effective August 20 to all forms of sport and recreational activity were the principal developments today in the war on forest fires. Foresters recruited from Arizona and New Mexico began to arrive in California today and are being assigned to strategic points to direct the fight against fires by district forester Paul G. Redington. It was announced that to date there have been 1,411 fires in California burning over 347,000 acres and doing damage estimated at more than $3,000,000.

He has been approached by a number of cities from San Diego, north several offering to give the land and put up initial buildings. He states that he has gone thru the different propositions and now has definitely decided to locate in one of two cities, either Anaheim or another city. When asked why it was that several cities were stating in the Sunday papers that his corporation was going to their city, he remarked: "They have nothing definite on which to make such a statement. Their propositions and land sites have been investigated: Some of them have advantageous sites, but up to the present I have promised no city, and I wish to be quoted as saying that as far as I know now I am coming to Anaheim until I definitely inform the C. of C. of Anaheim that I am not coming." "This was gratifying," says a C. of C. representative. "It means that if we get behind this proposition we can bring a very valuable industry to our city. Everything is in our favor.
