WILL RAISE THE PRICE
Oil Exchange Directors to Meet for
Business on Monday
Dimi fishing Production Bound to Have Its
Effect-What the Standard is Pay.
ing-FieId Notes

On Monday afternoon at l o'clock a
meeting of the directors of the oil exchange
will be held, at which it is expected the
price of petroleum will be given another
boost of 5 cents. At the present quota
ton, 20 cents, the demand is fully equal
to the surplus offered for sale, and, taking
into consideration the constantly diminish
ing product of the wells, the advance in
rates seems justified by present conditions.
AS showing the reduced output of the field
it may be stated that nearly 20 per cent of
the wells are now idle, some played out
and others for various reasons not being
worked. About 10 per cent of all wells
now down are so far gone that they no
to pay to pump them. These figures are
given by A. E. Martin, a member OF the
exchange, and show how rapidly the pro-
duction is being curtailed.
Mr.. Martin has three wells from which
oil is now being pumped, but states that
the flow of each of them has diminished by
at least one-quarter within the past sixty
days. With this an established fact the
price seems bound to rise. Both producers
and consumers are holding back, neither
wanting to trade until it ia definitely ascer-
tained just what may be expected. The
cargo sent north by the Talbot cleared up
great part of the surplus on hand, and
upon her next trip she will leave plenty of
