Der failed TO keep up the average produc-
ton of October. The total output of the
wells for November was 1855 barrels and
for October Sos, 1914 barrels, by far the larg
est production of any month in the year.
Inc market price of the product made four
advances during the month. and now stands
at s.01- For months the Indiana producers
have hoped for dollar OIL and they now
have IL, and will have still more, for the
present conditions warrant it.
For The first eleven months of the pres
snt year the output of the wells amounts
to 1906 201 barrels. with a valuation to the
operator and farmer of $6,656. 3.35. This
amount of money has been widely circu-
lated throughout the State. The shipments
of oil for the eleven months were 1860, All
barrels valued at $685., 1914
When the years report of the pipe lines is
compiled IL will show that enormous
amount of money has been handled through
out the oil region OF Indiana. The rapid adj
vances in the price of the oil should slim
ulate operations and create a boom in all
the fields OF the State.
