PREMIUM ON KENTUCKY OIL

Eastern Kentucky crude is command
ing premium OF from ten TO fifteen
cents on the barrel at the present time
according to some OF the producers
who have been offered the additional
price. One operator from Magoffin
county last week sold several thou
sand barrels of oil at price OF $3.50
per barrel. while several have recently
sold at SITS. This means that there
Is genuine demand for Somerset
crude and the independent purchasing
agents are willing to pay premiums to
obtain the Kentucky product The OPP
orators hold the opinion that before
long another increase will take place
and that Somerset Light win touch
the $500 mark by the end Of the year.
Should this prediction come true, the
oil industry will be firmly established
and much new development work will
be undertaken.
ID The strengthening OF the foreign ex-.
change should have a stimulating ef-
feet on the oil industry particularly
with regard to the export of lubricants
gasoline and kerosene. Oil Is the one
commodity which is exported to for

the purchasing power of many Of
these countries has been held up by
the adverse exchange. With exchange

considerably more buying will be done.
