SHIPMENTS FOR APRIL
win Go Beyond the Five thousand
Car Mark, II Is Believed,
GUfFEY COMPANY GETS A GOOD PRICE
For the Oil Which Il Is Shipping to
EnaIand--Annual Election Of the Oil
Exchange Takes Place Soon.


u.-r-nenr rcxas April 28--The steamer
Cnrdium is now located on the outside and
ready TO clear for England and will add
another good supply to the fuel oil on the
soil Of the mother country. The number
Of barreis In the cargo will be $4,000
An Interesting fact was developed IN the
nrst shipment OF oil by that boat TO Eng
land In that the price sworn to before the
government icustom house ofdccers was 81
cents per barrel. SINCE then 1t Is gen
erally understood that the price has been
increased and II that is the case an idea Of
what the Guney people are getting for their
product may be determined 1t has been
stated by some Of the employees hererwho
are not with the company now, however
that the company receives 30 cents per bar
rel for the oil on board the vessel AMI
then gets half OF the PROFITS over that
amount. 1t Is. Of course well known that
they sell 70 the Shell Transporting and
Trading company and this would mean
pretty fair price for the oil. II is true
that Ii Is desnlpburized but that IS matter
Of small EXPENSE compared to the cost OF
regularly rcIued oil
AT any rate it Is certainly n fact that the
Quincy Petroleum company gets moro than
20 cents per barrel for its product, and that
f. or should he. greater factor In buoying
up tho price from its rir.culously low az
ure at present
There IS NO longer any doubt about the
oil shipments for the month passing the
6Oo0-car mark. for the shipment Of the
Cardium assures that beyond any question
and means That April win be the largest
month in the history Of the field. Accord
Ing to the Enterprise the shipments mp 10
tonight run TO 400 ears aud tle Cardum
shipment alone viii increase the list $50
cars, while there Is yet considerable time
for the remaining ju0 ears 20 make the TO-
tai pass the limit that has been watcded
SO closely during the latter part OF the
month The fact that the demand keeps
up 10 the facilities for shipping aud thar
every tank car and every vessel that can he
obtained is still bciue sought for rather
than dragging upon the market shows con
clusively that the liquid fuel of this field Is
the coming fuel for manufacturing iustitu-
tons who're tho rates are not productive.
A great many people thought that when
a lsrge addition was made 20 the number
OF tank cars in service hero and the vessels
were secured for the trade the demand
would not Keep w, bnt they have reekoned
Hnwisely.
