ECstern Crude Advances

The price Of eastern crude was al .
vanced yesterday, the news OF which
came as glad surprise TO the mid
continent oil producers, who need
the advance Just as much as eastern
oil men and in exactly the same pro-
portion.
The new price puts Pennsylvanio
at $3.2J, Cabell at S1oG, Somerset

price now $l.15 per barre II IL the

Moreover the advance IL good
business on the part OF the purchas-

the demand for tariff on Mexican
crude and no better way could pos
sibly be devised to stop this sort Of
agitation than to put the price up

This order OF the Prairie Pipe Line
Co., coming to the producer amidst
his Joy and rcvelry in high prices
and lots OF production, was like a
bolt Of lightning and clap OF
thunder from a clear sky. He had
been reading the speeches OF the
various leaders in the oil industry
who spoke at the Petroleum Insti-

short days before the order; and to

Mr. Bedford, had played sweet
