my. They are engaged in legitimate
industry and arc on tho saio side OF tho

The case o! those who do not produce
oil is quito diGoront. For them tho
market Is full Of possible pitfalls. To
got into tho merely speculative poo Is
to get into dangerous water whore
many a sanGuine man has boon drowned.
Nobody can ~foroteli whether oil Is going
higher or whether it Is going to drop.
The brokers show worry p~ointed!y tho

situation. They want larger margains
