PRICES OF OIL AGAIN
BREAK THE RECORDS
TWO ADVANCES IN KENTUCKY
COME WITHIN THE
WEEK.

Pttsburg, Penn, January 9.-The
long expected goal of the oil producer
was reached and passed here to-day
when, at the opening of the market, it
was announced that the principal pur-
chasing agencies had lifted the price of
Pennsylvania crude 10 cents barrel to
s3.05. Other grades were advanced as
follows: Cabell, cents to s235; Som
erset, cents to s2.1S, and Ragland, 8
cents to 81.
These are the highest prices COM
manded by these grades of crude oil
since speculation in oil was stamped
out by the Standard~nOil company and
its subsidiaries many years ago. They
are due, refiners say, to the enormous
demanded for home consumption and
the steadily increasing demand from
foreign countries.
Producers have long been holding oil
for So barrel, selling only as much
as was absolutely necessary, and 1t is
now expected that they will market
their holdings freely. Hundreds of
thousands of barrels are said to be
above ground in West Virginia alone.
1t was also predicted that drilling
would again bo actively resumed, not
only in new territory, but in old fields,
where veteran oil men say they have
hopes of bringing in more paying wells.
