Altogether, the outlook of the Baku oil industry is not merely, critical but threatening. The proprietors of the wells begin to realise the fact that the local fields are really getting exhausted at last, and unless fresh springs ran betapped within reasonable distance of the refining works, the consequences will be the stoppage of all operations on the Caspian as well as in Baku, the probable ruin of thosa engaged in the trade, together with loss of employment to all the working people. occu

In a second report on the subject from Mr. Sandwith, dated the 3rd of August, the Consul-General states ibat the exhaustion of the Baku wells continues to engage the attention of the South Russian mercantile world. Already the effects are being experienced by the owners of vessels hitherto engaged in conveying the oil across the Black Sea; many tank steamers, finding no employ. ment at Batoum, having been sent across the Atlantic to seek freight.
