barrels have run to waste. Even the present output, however, is equivalent to nearly 500 tank carloads a day. As the present supply of tank cars IS only about 250 a day, the oil producers are in bad way, so far as reaching mark cts is concerned They cannot deliver the goods, and in consequence the price of wells has fallen in some cases al- most to the cost of drilling them. Only four companies have outlets for their oil independent of the railroad; two by pipe lines to the seaboard, and two by car lines of their own. Hope IS now fixed on the chance that the producers may some time find the means of get ting their oil to New Orleans, and thence shipping it along the Gulf Of Mexico and the Atlantic, and up the Mississippi, to where it can be used.
 It is believed that the Standard oil company is taking advantage of the situation and will soon be in control of the Beaumont oil. Very likely. It knows when to buy and it has the money to buy with.
