Purchasers of Oklahoma and Kan
sas crude announced another cut In
the crude market yesterday, reducing
the market from 90 TO IS cents. This
was the fourth scent cut within a
week. The first was posed last
duced from Sl05 TO 500. Naturally
there Is good deal of speculation as
10 how much more IL viii be reduced
before IL touches bottom One guess
is as good as another. but all agree
that the key TO the situation Is held
by, operators In the Kansas-Oklahoma
nelds. Vast quantities OF oil is now
flowing on the ground for the lack
.of transportation and storage facili-
ties To take care of the enormous
production. In the Gushing pool one
company is reported to have a pro-
dnction so large that omre than 1000
barrels a day Is going on the ground
and another company has more than
500 barrels. Many other companies
and individuals are losing a part of
their production from the same
cause.
II operators will continue 10 per.
sist in drilling in gushers and food
ing the country with oil. the pur-
chasing companies will no doubt CON
tinue TO cut the market IL a 20 per
cent. cut in the market does not con
vince operators in gusher territory
that II Is time to call a halt and cur
tail development work. a 40 per cent.
cut may cause them to sit up and
take notice. More Than three months
ago operators were forewarned as to
ne result II they persisted in pushing
drilling operations. Had the appeal
70 operators been needed at that time
the present reduction might have
been avoided.
