ing the month for -. 447 barrels to supply
the demand. This looks very encouraging
for an advance in the price of the crude
product. Figures show that the output is

Der of new wells being brought in. The
production at the close of August should
make better showing than July owing TO
the number of new wells that will be drilled
in before the close of the month.
