OIL MARKET QUOTATIONS.
Will the Price BE Cut

There have been several inquiries
"a tho probability of cut In the

,,r,esions Of some of tho new spapor

tiamo entirely upon the oil pro-
dur,rs. IL win be pleasing news to
a very few II tho price of crude is
maracd down.
Tbero are some very interesting
aevc'opmeuts that viii likely be
made public II 1t should happen
that The price is cut again, as they
will plainly indicate that there has
teen another repition OF the extra

when ,ho said big people were
hloving their heads off drilling
around Ranger and Desdemona and,
in fact, all over Texas, except at
Burkhurnett and breckenridge.
IL would make it appear II the
truth were told, that the man who
framed the law prescribing a penal
ty for "a pipeline purchasing oil to
own production was absolutely
right and proper. and, especially in
Oklahoma which Is being made the
goat, while every other state and
an foreign countries are drilling
their heads off. And not only would
II show a lamentable lack OF judg-
nent In spending money like smoke

20 the people of Belgium, France,

These countries are entitled U

who have been held up to public
scorn of late, understand this and
are doing business every day; and
It Is also a safe bet that they have
not been throwing money to the
birds in the way of ordering tank
steamers which they had no use for
not these thrifty Dutchmen.
And now, days when the harbors
along the gulf and the Atlantic
coast are crowded with tankers
loaded with Mexican crude, With no
place TO unload, II would look as
though the commonest kind of fore
sight would have dictated that II
tank steamers were to be used as
storage tanks, that some of this
cheap kerosene, fuel oil and gaso-
line should be thus stored. 1t Is a
big story and will be given in full
as the occasion demands.
