both declined IN OCTOBER. w lille
the runs fell off over 5000 barrels
a day, the difference in the ship
ments was a little less than 1000
barrels a day, and for the first
time since last February, there
was a decrease in the pipe line
stocks. Similar conditions pre-
vailed in the Lima-Indiana sec
tions, where the runs showed a
decline of over 1000 and the ship
ments of over 5000 barrels day.
There was also a decrease IN the
pipe line stocks Of Buckeye oil.
While the shipments of Pennsyl-

the heavist of the year, they were
less than the average runs and
an increase of about 400 barrels
a day was registeed in the pipe
line stocks. The runs showed a
decline of over 1000 barrels a
day from August. The Buckeye
runs were the largest OF the year
and the shipments were unusually
heavy, but the decrease. in the net
stocks was not sufficient to over
come the gain made in the stocks
of Pennsylvania oil. The total
increase in both sections OF the
producing regions, however, did
not exceed 500 barrels a day.
The decrease during October was
about 27OO barrels a day.
