In the oil report sent out by the
Standard OIL company's reporter
says some one gave the tip OF the
decline In the price to parties
In Sistcrsville. This tip was given
to a party and the Tyler County
Bank sold over one hundred and
twenty FIVE thousand dollars worth
of oil for Its customers, saving
them FIVE cents on each barrel.
1t was fortunate tip for
the Bank but how the word
got out of the Standards Office Is
another question. Thee is no
doubt about the word having been
given out, else the Standard would
not report 1t il Its news papers: No
one connected with the Standard
knew about the price coming
down. 1t was given out we think
through the Pure OH company.
Any way 1t was a lucky tip tor
many here.
1t came. The price for credit
balances was reduced Tuesday Eve
cents per barrel These are the
times when field conditions cut
little or no figure In market mauip
ulatlons. The pipe line folks got
tired of the increasing credit balan'
ces In the hands of producers and
used their chalk In changing and
reducing the price for export re
fined oil. Forty pints per gallon Is
the sum and substance of the cat
thus far. The cut Is made at just
about the time when the Brothers
