Reduced n Second Time.
The Kansas Oklahoma crude market
was subjected TO "A second . cent cut last
Friday. bringing the price OF that pro-
duct down from si05 10 s5 cents a bar
~ nI IN me opinion o. many operators
subjected 20 additional cuts or reduced
10 a point where operators will decide To
stop the drill TIL such time as the trans
portatton and storage can be provided
TO take care OF the enormous production
What the effect will h. on the price OF
high grade crude IL not apparent at this
time. There Is not the remotest indica-
tion that the production of the eastern
fields can be Increased but the condi-
lions aer somewhat chaotic at this time.
Eastern operators claim with the kind Of
territory they have to develop the pres
ent quotation $3.50 is none too hiah
There IL a large surplus OF the refined
product at this time and purchasers Of
crude are not inclined 10 stili further IN
crease the supply.
