1'hs rounding out OF the week21oi
development work in the Eastern
fields differed little from the earlier
part and was commonplace to de-
gree During the early part of the
week the completion OF several wells
in new pools furnished some little in
tereSt but the week as a whole has
not been sensational. The market
for crude of the Pennsylvania grade
remained unchanged. It is generally
admitted that conditions are inlpror-
ing but 1t Is likely to be some time
before it will be reflected in the adj
vance OF the market. While produc-
ton and consumption are so unevenly
balanced in the Mid-Continent there
is but little hope for an immediat
advancement in values. During the
oucers will be content to wait. drill
ing principally In locations that re-
quire Immediate attention There is
no occasion for a great deal OF that
kind OF work Light wells are the
best that can be hoped for and the
development of territory that can fur
nish nothing better than light wells
can be held back for an advance in
the market.
Operators when the market is low
and development work abandoned
usually designate a price a.. which
they can develop light territory At
the present, time 1t Is claimed that a
two-donar market will be required to
stimulate operations in the fields
This would mean an advance of eiga-
ty-fre cents above the present quota
ton for high grade crude. II IS quite
probable that the larger operating
companies will withhold development
work until the market Is advanced to
near that point and possibly realfza-
ton OF two-dcllar market remains
IN the distant future.
