PENNSYLV LVANIA CRUDE OIL
OVER THREE-DOLlAR MARK
Highest Price Reached Since Stand
ard Oil Company Stamped
Out Speculation.

PITTSBURGH, January 9.-The long
expected goal of the oil producer was
reached and passed here today, when
at the opening of the market it was an
nounced that the principal purchasing
agencies had lifted the price of Penn
sylvania crude 10 cents barrel to
s305 Other grades were advanced as
follows:
Mercer black, 8 cents to S243: Corn
ing. cents to s2.3s; Cabell, s cents to
sass: Somerset, s cents to s2.1s. and
Ragland. cents to 81.
These are the highest prices COM
manded by these grades o crude oil
since speculation in oil was ;tamped
out by the Standard Oil Company and
it's subsidiaries many years ago. They
are due, ref1ners say, TO the enormous
demand for home consumption aud the
steadily increasing demand from for
eign countries. Producers have long
heen holding oil for SO Il barrel, SELL
ing only as much as vas absolutely
nece ssary, and it is now expected that
they will market their holdings freely.
Hundreds of thousands OF barrels of
oil are said to be above ground in
West Virginia alone.
It was also predicted that drilling
would again be actively resumed, not
only in new territory. but in old fields.
where veteran oil men say they have
hopes OF bringing in more paying
