Oil Industry Slowing Down

Petroleum refining operations in the
states of Oklahoma and Kansas have
been reduced about 40 per cent, ac-
cording to the Federal Reserve Bank
of Kansas City, number Of small re-
fineries being shut down while others
are operating on shorter time. Deyel-
opment work has also siackened per
ceptibly as result Of the decrease in
consumption and the fall in crude
prices, and the number of rigs and
wells drilling in the states of Kansas,
Oklahoma and Wyoming at the begin
ming of February was 1856, which is
l19 less than the number st the begin.
ming of the year. With this depressed
state of the oil business, however. the
operators are maintaining cheerful
attitude, the bank says. believing that
the passing of winter will bring back
larger automotive demand. while evil
dences of increased activity in indus
trial plants are expected to bring re-
newed activity to the oil trade.

Redeeminp Liberty Bonds

The Treasury has entered the market
again as purchaser of Liberty bonds
and Victory notes, it was reported IN
investment circles yesterday Although
the fact could not be confirmed it was
intimated that the Treasury planned
to buy about 100000 on the present
operation. 1t was pointed out in this
connection that the government is be-
hind ir its sinking fund requirements,
as it has purchased only about $780,,
100000 of war bonds in the last seven
months, whereas under the provisions
of tho sinking fund arrangement it
should have retired approximately
$3.50, ,000, 900 in Liberty bonds and Vic
tory notes during the current fiscal
year. The Treasury since the first Of
the year has received approximately
$50, 900 900 in franchise taxes paid to
it by the Federal Reserve banks out Of
surplus earnings in 1920. These funds
are available for retiring the outstand-
ing debt

New York Central Wage Cuts

Local officials of the New York Cen
trail admitted yesterday that they were
considering downward revision in
the wages of the unskilled workers on
the New York Central Railroad, the
Lake Shore & Michigan Southern and
the Michigan Central. A preliminary
conference will be held with repre-
sentatives of these employees at the
Grand Central on March s. Thirty
thousand men will be affected if the
proposed reductions become effective.
After the men and the New York Gem
trail have conferred the matter in dis
pute will then be taken to the Railroad
Labor Board at Chicago. The conten-
ton of the New York Central is that
wages of unskilled labor should be
goVerned by local conditions.

Crucible Lends at Premium

Shortly after o'clock the bear ac-
count in Crucible Steel received an un-
pleasant jolt from the announcement
lenders of the stock were demanding
a daily premium of l per cent. This
was followed by rush on the part Of
the shorts to cover, and in a few
minutes the price of the stock jumped
from below 93 to 95M. When the i'm
pulse to cover had subsided somewh at
the price eased off again, but at the
close Crucible still showed a net gain
of 17s points. The placing of a stiff
premium on Crucible had the effect of
causing short covering in other issues
that have recently borne the brunt OF
attacks by bear operators.

rletion and depreciation charges of six
Of the largest oil companies ranged
from 60 cents to 1s cents barrel.
Taking the lowest figure, depletion and
depreciation in the case of Sinclair
would approximate $4,000 900. IN
terest, sinking fund and taxes would
require an additional $4,000. .O0O max
ing total charges of $2l 100000
With all these deductions. net after

Another among the many evidences OF Germanys
remarkable industrial recovery is furnished by the
Tere Mercury in its of the profits and wages
paid by the German textile industry According to
this paper the returns for 1870 show period OF great
prosperity during which huge profits have been paid
to the shareholders and high have been paid to
the men OF this industry. Unemployment is not 60
great as in England and has decreased notceably from
the previous year Conditions of labor have likewise
been improved 46houf week having been established
with six-day vacation with pay Since the time I'M
mediaely after the armstice wages OF cotton spners
have been increased from 60 marks a week to 24I9o
marks Wages of weavefs have been increased IRON
s2oo to 2o2 40 marks The wages OF women workers
have been nceased on a similar scale. The cost oi
living has of course risen rapidly during this PERIOD
but even when this taken into account the increase
in the wages of German workers has been considerably
greater than that of British workers in comparison with
prewar figures.
The returns of the, large firms show even more
clearly the prosperity of the industry, Many firms
have increased their capital from twice to six times
that originally employed The dividends OF 81 COM
panies show that from per cent to 36 per cent has
been paid to shareholders during 1920 and that IL OF
