Oil Com pany's quarterly dividend and the re- auction Of the Crescent Pipe Line and the Ohio Oil co. dividends. Tn the case of the Crescent Go. it was probr ably found to be absolutely necessary to make a reduction, owing to de- creased earnings, as that company,s s earnings had not been good at any time this year. In the case of the other two concerns. however, it was merely a precautionary m measure.
 Both Of these concerns are in a strong financial position, and both have been enjoying earnings this year in excess of dividends, despite lower crude oil prices. It is ge1era al opin- ion in the oil trade, however. that the situation is on the mend Tlle action of the Standard Oil Co. of New York in resuIning shipments will be a great help to the producer, and it is expected that within short time ex- ports will be considerably Increased.
