this story would probably never have

that read in the papers only the 9th

OUTPUT OF OIL
California to Enlarge Produc-

Panama Canal
tBy latest MALL

/ NEW. YORK.-Increase in prodnc-
| tion of crude oil this year will come
chiefly, in California and other states
from stimulus of high prices, especi-
ally In mid -continent field, according
to the geological survey.
Production in California will I'M
doubleday become more significant
element with the opening of the Pana-
ma canal, until at least consumption
[ in California outstrips production. 1t
is not improbable that the flow OF
fuel oil through the pipe line along
side the Panama canal may eyentn-
ally be reversed, because fuel oil is
SO essential to Industrial development
of the west coast, and because it may
become possible in the near future
to supply large quantities Of low
priced oil from Mexican fields.
Importations from Mexico of low
priced oils are already tending TO off.

Gasoline from the Far East being con-

OIl6 dIlu VIII t1CICd6C.
Great economic change in oil con-
sumption effected by development of
gasoline engines calls attention to
the possibilities of other great varia-
tions in consumption of petroleum
products. Lubricating oils can only
show a gradual extension with In
creased use of power of all kinds.
Similarly, use of kerosene in lamps
is net likely to show the sudden de-
yelopment observed in gasoline. New
ertheless, a great discrepancy must
be noted between per capita consump-
ton of Illuminating oils in various
countries 1t might be expected
that the advent OF gas and electricity
would check the use of lamps, while
the contrary is tne case. But the
change is slight compared to great
difference in per capita consumption
of ell for light In various countries.
In spite of the development of gas
and electricity in the United States,
this country leads in consumption of
oil for light, using about Is gallons of
kerosene per capita per year. Other
countries range as low as tenth Of

! Besides efforts to increase use of
artificial light as an outlet for oil,
effort ito disseminate literature of all
.inds in all countries will tend to in
crease per capita use of oils; for ex-
ample, China, with it's great popula-
ton, is in the class of very small con-
sumption, and a slight increase there
in Iiteracy may rival the automobile
in improving the oil market.

LEADING MARKETS
CONTINUE QUIET
Encouraging Reports of
Business Conditions
Pred0minate
CROP OUTLOOK GOOD
Increased Preparations for Fall and
Winter Trade-Possibility of
Threatened Railway Strike Is
Now More Remote

New York, August 1.-Dun's review to-
morrow will say:
Encouraging reports of business condt-
tons predominate. and the growth of con-
fdence is evidenced by increased prepara-
tions for fall and winter trade. All the
leading markets continue quiet, yet in
scme instances the midsummer recession
has been of shorter duration than Gus
tomary.
THE prevailing optimistic feeling was
apparently not impaired by the reported
damage to corn, and the agricultural sit
uation is still promising. Gradual recov-
cry in spring wheat is accompanied by
splendid harvesting returns from the
southwest.
THE possibility of a strike on the east
ern railroads is now more remote but
financial sentiment was somewhat dis
turbed by the reduction in the dividend of
a prominent system, although such action
was not entirely unexpected. The reve-
but in the aggregate railway earnings
continue to exceed the total of a year
ago.
Failures this week numbered 256 in the
United States, against 2sl last year and 19O
in Canada compared with "a year ago.
New York, August 1.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Trade reports still present mixed as
poets, with perhaps a sharper tendency
to temporarily reflect quiet In the east
high rates for nonev and tariff uncer-
tainties continue to act as repressive in
fiuences, while in the west adverse news
of the corn crop has induced some hesi-
fancy.
"On the other hand southwestern adj
vices indicate that house trade has ex-
panded, and feeling as to the future is
decidedly optimistic, buoyancy being i'm
parted by the tendency to increase esti-
mates of wheat Yields. At the same time
trade in the south appears to be improv-
ing, and sentiment is certainly better
"As regards the leading crops, 1t seems
certain that the wheat yield will be of
record proportions, that cotton will furnish
a large crop, but that oats. hay and corn
will be shorter than last year, when all
three were, however, record breaking.
Business failures for the week were
24S which compares with 224 in 1912.
Wheat. including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week aggregate 6,775.173 bushels, against
2,494,65 bushels this week last year.
