artificial or manipulative element. A
letter of inquiry has been sent to
every manufacturer of motor vehicles,
farm tractors and other gasoline en-
gines to ascertain as far as possible
the increased outputs of their prod
ucts and the effect of the advance IN
gasoline prices upon the demand Tor
their machines and upon the con-
sumption of gasoline.
Factors OF Fuel Cost.
The following points are being ex-
amined: Forces of demand and sup
ply as effecting the price of crude oil,
exports and imports deterioration in
quality of crude. increased cost Of re-
filming. improved methods and specu-
lative holdings of crude and gasoline.
1t Is pointed out that the close con-
nection between the investigation OF
the causes Of high prices and of the
alleged discrimination should be
noted. II prices are found to have
been raised to higher level in some
sections than in others. after making
due allowances for quality Of product.

may be inferred that an element OF
articificial manipulation has entered
into the advance.
The effect of decreased production
in the Cushing field in gasoline terms
is given in footnote which says the
ing fell from 96,000.000 gallons in
April. 1915. to 36,OO0,O00 in Decem-
ber, 1915. The gasoline content OF
all the oil produced In the United
States decreased during the year. The
estimate of the years total gasoline
content for all the oil in the country
was 1892, 100000 gallons.

No Solution of High Price
Problem Offered at
This Time.

Preliminary report and some sta

the federal trade commission seems to
leave the general public Just as much
IN the dark as to what Is causing the
high price of gasoline as before the
investigation was started.
Congress is told by the commission
that for the purpose of bringing out
the facts concerning alleged inequali-
ties in the advance Of prices in differ
ent sections, all statistics have been
compiled and segregated by particu-
lar towns Refiners and jobbers Of
gasoline have reported the location
of their tank stations in every town
having a population OF $500 or over
throughout the entire country and
the quantity of gasoline sold at each
point.
In its investigation the commission
is considering both domestic and for
eign conditions and asserts that 1t Is
