OIL MEN SEE FURTHER
ADVANCE ON GASOLINE
Situation Made More COmpli-
Gated by Great Stocks Of
Kerosene Piling Up.

The price Of gasoiene will continue
to rise. according to oil men. Stocks
are practically exhausted and the de-
mand Is far In EXCESS Of the supply.
Oil men say that as long as these condi-
tions continue the situation will remain
serious.
a factor adding to the tension in this
market lis the fact that great quantities
OF kerosene and other refinery products
arc piling up. and storage tanks through
out the country are we'll filled with the
kerosene which has been refined from
crude oil In the manufacture OF gaso-
lene.
The problem Of refining sufficient
sasolene to meet the demand Ia not the
only one the refners have to face. They
must discover some way OF disposlng
OF their heavy stocks Of kerosene, which
In the case Of tho independent refineries
" an absolute necessity. Heretofore
the big market for kerosene produced
In the United States Was In China and
abroad. This market has been seri-
ously held IN check by the enormous
rise in freight rates and it is almost
impossible to send kerosene to the Orient
at a profit.
Recent supply and demand statistics
show that there are approximately s0.-
900 more barrels Of crude oil consumed
each day than are produced. During
the month OF January a daily average
ri approximately 100000 barrels Of
crude oil was produced. The daily
average OF deliveries during the san
month was approximately 100000 bar
rcls.
oil men say generally they would
rather find a good market for kerosene
than see the price OF gasolene go up.
This is due to the fact that most OF
the crudes produced in this country
carry a good percentage OF kerosene
and a small percentage Of gasolene. In
high grade crude IL Is possible TO
obtain about IS or so per cent. of kero-
sene a barrel. whereas the hest per-
centagc OF gasolene obtainablc from the
same oil is between 10 and IL a barrel
