OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION.
More Petroleum Produced, But Price
shows Falling on.

The value Of the natural gas produced
and sold in the United States in 1905 eX-
ceeded that of any previous-year by $685.
go It amounted to S4l.652.S SO. The Geo
logical Survey reports that this result has
been accomplished by a general advance
in price rather than by any increase in
the quantity Of gas produced.
The greatest increase was in West Viz
ginia. where the increased value amount
ed to 81. Dol 655 more than the previous
year. \ falling of in value is shown in
Indiana. Kentucky, and Tennessee.
The oil production Tor 1868 greatly eX-
ceeded that of the previous year, but the
value Of it was less. The production in
1860 was I347f7.5S0 barrels as against H.
ESQ. $50 barrels i'm the previous year. This
production was greater by 176S6-620 barrels
than that OF any previous year. The pro-
duction of petroleum in the United States

years The increase has been in the
heavier grades of the fuel class The
value OF the oil produced in 1905 was rated
at SS4. 157. $50. against $10l 175. 40 in the
