but to take care of expanding re-
quirements. They wish to be placed
in q position where there would be
no heSltancy in extending the use
of oil from time to time as growth
demands. That storage oil is es-
sential to the well being of the
trade must be admitted p
The Oil Age Weekly regards the real
problem of the moment the finances
of the small Independent operator.
This paper says in this connections:
To add to the discomforting stu
alton, the consumers are not MAX
ing contracts for future deliveries
at present prices, and the marketers
in self-defense are not cutting
prices, thereby forming a dead
lock The consumers figure that
the surplus production can result in
only one thing-lower prices to
them, and they are waiting to
see; the marketers, on the other
hand. are looking into the future
and figuring upon the big contracts
that can be obtained when they
can show a sufficient surplus. Be
tween these two stands the small
producer, who worries, and with
good cause, about the source of
operation of his property.
The big problem today is not
oVerproduction and consequent
Cutting of the market and low
prices, but is a matter of finances
to take care of the oil that is now
being produced in excess of re-
quirements to fill existing con-
tracts. The agency committee is
busily engaged in working out this
problem, but it is admittedly a
difficult one to solve. If a feasible
plan can be devised and executed
whereby the producer can draw
against his oil in storage to per-
init of the operation of his prop
erty, the situation will without
doubt shortly clear and show
greater prosperity in the riffs be-
tween the clouds 1t is generally
conceded that number of large
contracts can be closed as soon as
it can be Demonstrated to the pros
pective consumer that regular de-
liveries can be made without the
shadow of a doubt. There is only
one way that this can be demon
strated, and that is by an actual
surplus of oil above ground far in
excess of the present consumptive
capacity.
The prospects for a widening of the
oil market to a degree to meet the
situation are of the brightest When
this shall have been accomplished. the
will have been placed on a
better basis than ever before. The ef-
forts of the independent producers are
directed to this end.

MOODY GUSHER ONCE

that Palmer No. 2 which came in with

MARKET SITUATION
WORRIESPRODUCERS
Independents Bear Burden of the
Lakeview Gusher Which
Created Big Surplus

Among the independent oil operators
there is increasing anxiety over the
situation. The continued ex-
cess of production has made it impos-
sible for the agency to handle the full
output of its component companies.
These companies, therefore, have been
deprived of their full revenue upon
which they are dependent, not only for
dividends but for regular operating ex-
penses. This is the most serious phase
of the present day conditions. 1t is
from this situation that trouble, if it
does come, will first spring.
The other problems will be met and
solved. They involve storage and an
expanding market. Storage is being
built and the greater market is assured.
These will come, but they viii take
time. Meanwhile the small independ-
ent companies must be financed. It
was hoped that loans could be nego-
tiated on oil in storage, but all efforts
in this direction have proved unsuccess-
