CRUDE OIL PRICES
AREBOOSTED AGAIN
Refincrs Fail to Get Sufficient
Supply; Move Made to In
crease Output.

Another advance in the price Of Penn
sylvania crude OIL. the fourth 25 cent
advance In less than three weeks, was
announced yesterday. making the new
price 1925 a barrel This compai>
with a high price at the beginnins Of
the year of $6.10 a barrel and with q
low figure less than q month ago of Sc
q barrel.
This continued advance in oil prices
all around the list, including Louisiana.
Midcontinent. Texas. Gulf Coast. Wyo-
ming and, in fact virtually every grade
Of domestic crudo. has been a big sur
prise. The rapid advance Is due in some
measure to a tendency toward a correc-
ton Of an overdc1e deflation In the oil
industry and 700 great sIackening OF
production.
When ts~s regular seasonal improve
ment stared. two or three month later
than ustfal. it was suddenly found by re-
finers that the supply OF crude oil was
not SO great as they had supposed and
consequently there was a sharp upturn
in prices This Improvement. which
usually begins In June, was held back
until September, and as result the
refiners' demands, which are usually
spread over a period of five to six
months. had to be supplied in about
third Of that time.
Consumption in August in this country
exceeded production In domestic fields
by about 100000 barrels, according to
figures obtained yesterday. The excess
was provided by importations from for
eign fields, largely Mexico and South
America. It Is said that II the decline
OF Mexican production continues a heavy
drain will be placed on American surplus
OF oil. This surplus of stored oil in
June totalied about 165. 900. 900 barrels.
an increase of approximately 65 per
cent above normal. according to figures
obtained yesterday.
Ralph Arnold, chairman of the petro-
leum and gas committee Of the American
Institute of Mining and Metallurgicai
Engineers, yesterday discussed the Mexi-
can outlook, recalling that less than
eight months ago a statement was made
before the institute that the output OF
eading Mexican fields would fall sharp
ly within two years unless new oil acre
sge was found He added:
THE daily production Of Mexico was
about 100000 barrels; now 1t Is about
$50, 900 barrels. No new pools of con-
sequence have been opened up. although
extensions have been made to two old
pools. Over 100000 barrels come daily
from the Los Naranjos. Amatlan and
North Zacamixtle fields, in which prac-
i;cally every well Is so affected by salt
water that the potential production
dropped so per cent. in September.
THE United States and Mexico pro-
duce six-sevenths of the world supply
The production Of the United States Is.
rs for several years, below our consump-
ton. Mexico Is now our only foreign
producing source Of oil. The oil situa-
tion in the United States is, therefore,
extremely critical

which pointed out that the rate on
June Is for all maturities up to ninety
days stood at 5h per cent, in contrast
to AZ per cent. at present time. The
council sees significance in the fact
that In the last six months the reduc-
lions IN the market rate for prime bills

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
General List Reactionary.

Although many stocks closed with net
gains on the day, the general active list
displayed yesterday decidedly reac-
tionary tendency. All through the morn
ing there were several rather soft spots
which traders persisted in picking out
and attacking with more or less success.
but in the early afternoon. when rumors
of railroad strike were circulated in
the financial district, the weakness
spread to other issues. A sharp reac-
ton In most OF! shares came in the clos
ing hours os the session. In the MORN
ing those stocks continued their recent
advances, helped along by the further
advance of Pennsylvania crude oil
prices. The rails. too, were under press
ure most of the day. Some of the spe-
cialty shares and several issues in which
pools had been operating for the last
two weeks or more moved higher.
