Increased Consumption and Declining Pro.
ductiOn Boost Prices.

Refined oil went up TO 1917 cents a gallon
yesterday. Declining production Of petro-
leum and heavy increase in consumption,
resulting from an enlarged demand for oil
for heating As well as Illuminating pur-
poses since the coal strike, are responsible
for higher prices both for crude and refined
petroleum.
The advance reflects a material advance
in crude oil prices, the advances in both
crude and refined having been in progress
for three months. Crude Pennsylvania
petroleum is now quoted at 81 81 a barrel,
the highest price in a very long time. There
have been no discoveries of new Pennsyl-
vania oil pools of any size and the Standard
Oil Company has had TO depend upon par
