Total ..............14 900, 900
This quantity, which includes lit
tie oil actually produced In 1915 but
marketed during 1916. is appreciably
less than the output during the first
half Of 1915, though It is greater by
about 100000 barrels than one-half
the entire quantity marketed last
year. When 1t is considered that the
first half of 1915 includes the period
of maximum production of the Cush-
ing pool in Oklahoma and the erich
ton pool in northwestern Louisiana
the disparity in output between the
corresponding periods Is not especial
ly significant. The magnitude Of this
quantity, the fact that 1t is greater
than one-half the total petroleum
marketed in the United States in
1915, and the further fact that it re-
fleets the results OF general activity
throughout all oil-producing areas
rather than flush production in re-
stricted areas is, however, significant
and leads TO no other conclusion than
that the final statistics of oil market
ed in 1915 are destined to establish
a new record.
The outstanding feature OF the pc
troleum industry during the half
year just closed was the high level
reached in the prices of crude oil in
March and maintained firmly to the
end OF the period. This level In
wolves prices ranging from ninety to
$50 per cent higher than those Of
year ago for high-grade eastern and
mid-continent grades and reflects less
strongly the decreased capacity of
Cushing than it does the increased
demand for crude oil resulting from
the activity of large number Of new
refneries installed during the recent
period Of low prices.
AS a consequence Of the incentive
afforded by the high prices in the
early part Of 1916, activity in drilling
increased enormously in all fields
with opening Of spring, and though
within the half-year period no strict
ly new pools were discovered there
