Figures obtained here show that de-
spite the popular belief that the great
er part of Britain's oil was derived
from the Mexican fields, all but 5 per
cent went in reality from North At
lantic ports of the United States.
Predictions that importations of oil
from Mexico would exceed 10000, 900
barrels were made last week by gov
eminent experts. Last year imports
totaled 60,00O,0o0 barrels. while those
of 1917 were only 31,00o.00o.
These reports and predictions are
most gratifying to motorists all over
the country. But from general COM
plants heard here it is not SO much
the quantity as the quality of gasoline
being sold that has caused so much
trouble in the last sixty days. and if
the manufacturers of this much
fuel would only endeavor to serve
better grade of gasoline to their deal
ers. regardless of what the extra cost
in. price would be. local motorists
would gladly pay the cost, and the
unbearable situation would be greatly
relieved

Reports from the manufacturing cen-
ters indicate that the price re1uc-
tons already announced are pras:t-
cally ali the public may anticipate for
many months. or until the entire in-
dustry has returned to capacity pro-
duction.
Some of the manufacturers were
so situated that they can get back
to a normal basis quicker than Others,
and several of these already have an
nounced pre-war price on their
products. but. in order to stabilize
the price situation and to convince
the motoring public of the confidence
which the dealers have that the prices
of automobiles will be maintained
where they are for some time to come.
many of our local firms are guar
anteeing the prices of their cars
against any price reduction for GER
tain period of time.
The two things which go to make
I'D a finished machine-labor and
material-are scarce and will be more
or less for some time to come, and
these problems there can be no re-
duction in prices of the finished
product.
There is every reason to belieVe
that the present prices must be main
tanned until the middle of summer at
least and that is tho reason why
the dealers are willing 50 give this
guarantee, which should be every
thing that the public needs to show
that the industry is on stable basis.
