Mexico Oil Sufficient
To Last rs Years. Vie,u

George Otis Smith, director of the
United States Geological Survey. puts
the proven area of Mexican eli lands
at about 10000 square miles, with re-
sources of 4,500,000000 barrels, and
the potential output of unproven terri
tory at 1,250,000000 barrels. The total
estimate of 5,750,O00.O00 barrels is
stated to be sufficient to give an ade-
quate supply for forty-five years at the
1920 rate of exports.
Roy H. Flamm, expert of the Latin
American division of the DEPARTING MT
of Commerce. in a report on "The
Petroleum Industry in Mexico" in the
October "a issue of "Commercial Re-
ports says that the enormous re-
serves of petroleum lands held by the
Mexican Petroleum Company and the
Aguila Company allow these companies
to regard the intrusion of salt water
in their present wells with a certain
degree of equanimity.
Referring to the oil industry in the
United States, Mr.. Flamm says that
with 40 per cent of the producing fields
exhausted and it's reserves officially
estimated to last not longer than twen-
ty-fve years, this country is supply
ing 70 per cent of the worlds present
demand. He continues:

CHICAGO, Oct 24.-Unexpected fall
ing. off in the visible supply total to-
gether with increased talk of the rail
strike being averted, led to a material
upturn to-day in the price of wheat.
Closing quotations, although unsettled,
were l7sc to 214c net higher, with
December $1.07s4 to $1.Os and May
Sl.12&s to $1.121s. Corn gained 14c to
lac and oats Il 0ssc to fs@%c. In
provisions the outcome varied from
l2Ec decline to 15c advance.
Most OF the traders in wheat had looked
Tor hberal enlargement to day in the
visible supply. AS soon, however as indi
cations appeared that the general assurnp-
ton in this respect would prove unfounded
persistent buying the part of strong
commission houses set in.
Demand for wheat was further stmu- =

which caused many dealers to conclude
that the strike situation clearing rap
Idly. stu further encoura cement for bulls
was found in predictions that for the next
few weeks receipts would be held back to
take advantage OF reduced freight rates
on the other hand, export news was
bearish, and partly because of this cir
cumstance the best prices of the day
dropped at the last.
Corn and oats with wheat Besides
smallness of receipts counted as buliish
