stocks on hand at the end of January
amounted 10 19.7S4,352 barrels. and at
the end of February TO 19.225,940 bar
rels. a decrease of 559.s12 barrels. It
is the consumption figures, however.
that viii be of more interest to the pro-
oucers in these days of oyerproduction
fear. The daily average consumption
for the month of January was 164,437
barrels, and for the month of February
this amounted to 194,076 barrels, a
daily increase of 29,639 barrels, as com
pared with the daily increase Of pro-
ductionof only 6,s78 barrels. Compared
with the daily production for the month
there was an actual daily average
shortage of 1898 barrels. It would
appear from this that we would need
a few gusheTs to maintain the parity
between production and consumption.
