MEXICO LARGE OIL PRODUCER
Yields from Fields in United States
May Become Exhausted.

Washington, Sept. 21.-M exi c o
promises to become the oil reservoir
of the Western Hemisphere, the De-
partment of Commerce declared today
in a review of the petroleum industry
in the southern republic Increased
consumption in the United States is
likely to exhaust producing fields in
this country within twenty-five years,
the statement said.
Exhaustion of forty per cent of the
producing fields Of the United States,
the departments review stated, has
caused Mexico to take second place
in oil production although only about
twelve per cent of the potential ca
pacity of Mexican wells is being ac-
tually produced.
Oil exports from Mexico during the
first six months of 1920 totalled Co.
000, 900 barrels, an increase of seventy.
two per cent over the previous year.
Development of the Mexican oil
fields, however, is only in its infancy,
the review states, adding that of the
231 $50 square miles of territory be-
lieved to contain oil deposits, not
more than 800 square miles are be-
ing exploited. Curtailment of produc-
tion is ascribed by the department to
lack Of transportation and storage ia
cilities, and to the unsettled political
conditions.
Of the $780, 100000 estimated to be
invested in the Mexican oil industry,
including $4,000, 900 in tankers, abous
10 per cent represents American capi-
tai, the review says. About 81 per
cent is British and Dutch capital and
three per cent Mexican and other in
terestS.

products in the continental Europe coun- tries
 Therefore, whatever President Teagle says upon the question of oil product.ap and consumption is spoken of as authori- tative. His estimate which he put be- fore the Petroleum institute the other day is that the United States will consume 445,oo0o00 barrels of home-produced oil in the year 1920. Apparently he does not look for any greater increase in our production of petroleum than will be rep resented by a little under 450, ,O00, 900 bar rels. That is assumed to be not high water, but the high oil mark for crude pe- troleum production in this country. But Mir Teagle says this is not enough to meet present day demands. We must in- port at least 120O00, 900 barrels of oil from Mexico. Therefore. it is assumed that consumption of petroleum and its pro- duets in the United States. together with the export of these products entails little under oo0 barrels year.
 IT MAY BE TEN MILLIONS
 Computations have been made based upon the rate of increase in our own and the worlds use of petroleum which seem to show that if the present rate O.. increase and consumption be plaintained then within eight or nine years not Tar from 100000 barrels of crude petroleum must be secured by the United States il the oil industry is to meet the demand which will be made upon it. This means. Of course, that we must depend upon enormous increase in our imports of oil or else must rely to some extent upon the discovery and exploitation of new oil fields in this country, and in our terri tories. A high English authority esti- mates that within five or six years the United States will be compelled to import petroleum yearly at cost of billions of dollars This authority went so far as to predict that our imports of pe- troleum might in few years be suffl- cent either to eliminate or greatly to re- duce the indebtedness of other nations to the United States. Should this prediction prove correct, then the balance of trade represented by our imports and exports of oil products will be against us, al- though for many years that balance has been greatly in our favor
 MT. Teagle spoke with earnest moni- tiona when he referred to the relatively smaller part which our home production is going to play in the future. This plain ly means that drastic economies must be adopted in the production of oil with the intimation furthermore that we may be compelled by and by to rely upon that great reserve asset which the oil shale re- sources represent, and also possibly upon the triumph of science whereby syn thetic chemistry can produce artificial pe- troleum through the enforced union or carbon and hydrogen.

SELMA DRUGGIST SAYS APPROACHING HOLIDAYS. PREVENT LOWER CANDY

Selma, November 2l.--(Special.) )-ln spite of the drop in the price of sugar, effective some time ago, candy is show ing no inclination to follow similar downward movement, and make ac- quaintance again with the old selling prices which prevailed before the alleged sugar shortage sent it skyrocketing.
 E. B. Ward of the Ward Drug company is authority for the statement that sugar in only per cent of the cost of candy, and consequently a drop in the sugar market means comparatively little in de- termining the cost of the finished pro- duct which tickles the palate of old and young alike. In order to combat high wages, he says. some candy manufac- turers are closing down their factories and dismissing men, with view to re- organizing later and taking back their employees at lower wage scales
 The advent of Thanksgiving and Christi mas, two holidays which always mean big sales for the candy dealer, is hold ing up the price of fine candies, hut with January cheaper prices may be looked for, it is said,

 COTTON SITUATION


 Cotton has made a new low record but the announcement that an Edge Bill bank with minimum capital of S6, 00O,- 900 will be formed in the cotton states, encourages the hope that some way to send our export surplus to continental Europe will soon be found. It must be admitted, however, that the cotton crop is turning out larger than expected and that the recent decline is in a meas ure due to this fact. Corn and wheat are also lower. The decline in the last named cereal is in part attributed to the offerings of Canadian wheat at tracted by the premium on the Ameri- can dollar in Canada.
 Steel and iron are rather easier, but no reduction in manufacturing activity is reported. Foreign exchange has re- covered from the low prices of a week ago. but the fluctuations are not sifnifi- cant.
 NEWS FROM ABROAD
 Aside from the meeting of the League of Nations at Geneva, the most impor- tant news from abroad is the report that an agreement will shortly be con c1uded between Great Britain and soviet Russia in pursuance of which trade be- tween the two countries may be re- stunned. A condition of this agreement is that the soviet government is to ac- knowledge it's responsibility for i'm perial Russia's debts to private citizens of England and France. The total amount involved is the gold equivalent of about two billion dollars, which is to be liquidated over number of years. The arrangement has the approval of English financiers, though it has been opposed by the political idealists as tending to strengthen the boleshvk government. The proposed loan to Cuba has not yet been arranged for and the bankers of the island are urging an extension of the moratorium until the sugar crop shall be marketed in Febru- ary. A terrible famine in China is threatened affecting an area contain ing a population of 2O.000.00o persons A fund of $2,000,000 for the relief of the stricken section has been raised in Shanghai.
 Immediate legislation to permit firms that have suffered heavy financial losses to postpone payment of the tax installment due December 15 is urged by Daniel c. Roper, formerly commits sioner of internal revenue. He is con fident that such le.gislatibn can be had, although the time seems short As the date at which Congress will convene approaches increased interest in the tax problem is apparent, but it is hardly to be hoped that definite action can be taken until after March 1.
 Bank ciearings for the week as re- ported by Bradstreet's show a decrease of 121 per cent as compared with last year The same authority puts the business failures for the week at BOT. as compared with 21f last week and 110 in thesame week last year. The com mercial mortality that these figures connote is not surprising when the de- cline in prices is considered. but the easier money market now definitely in- dicated encourages the hope of q rising barometer and more salubrious and in vigorating weather soon.

Daily Financial Gossip
Rx HOLLAND

New York, November H.-(SpeciaL J. George Otis Smith, who is the director of the United States geological. survey, told the American Petroleum institute at the meeting of that organization last week that the known American oil re- sources will last only nine years and tEree months if these resources are de- pended upon to furnish all that this coun- try needs. Dr. Smith was in New York a few days ago, and while here met sew eral men who have been much interested Tn, and in fact deeply concerned over, the oil situation He said to them, as re- ported, that he is in perfect agreement with all the high authorities who have yentured the prediction that within few years our visible supply of petroleum will be exhausted Not. however until he met the American Petroleum institute has he, so far as is known, asserted that our oil supply will be exhausted in less than 10 years.
 Two years ago government authorities and some of the experts who had been studying the oil situation predicted that at the rate of consumption and produc- ton as that was reported in 1918 our oil resources will have been exhausted in about Is years Of course, there was in mind the contingency that new and rich oil fields not at that time known might be discovered and exploited. But in any event consumption. they said, was gain ing so rapidly on production that not more than % years will have passed be- fore the United States will be compelled to reply upon imports for the most part for its petroleum
 Now this government authority tells the Petroleum institute that at the pres ent rate of consumption and production our known oil resources will be exhaust ed in a little over nine years. This is a startling reduction from the estimate which was made two years ago. It tells 8 story Of the increased use of the various products of petroleum not only in the United States, but elsewhere. Inferen- tially it shows how vital to the indus tres of the United States and to some forms of transportation petroleum pro- ducts have become.
 PRESIDENT TEAGLE'S WARNING
 Probably no abler expert authority upon all phases of the petroleum indus try lives today than Walter Clarke Teagle, who is president of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. He has ex- pert knowledge of the industry both in its production and manufacturing char asteristics, and he showed himself to be master hand in the marketing o~ pc- troleum products in Europe until he was forced to withdraw from Europe because of the war.
