Not Believed Sinclair
To Cut HealdtOn Price

1t is not believed that the Sinclair
Company will follow the action of the
Magnolia Company in cutting the
Healdton crude quotation TO SIOO.
The Magnolia cut does not affect di-
rectly the Healdton operators, mas
much as the Magnolia Company is
not running much more than its own
production out of the local field.
However, il seriously makes inroads
into the income of the producers of
the Stephens shallow field and the
Robertson field of Garvin county. in
which pools quotations are based on
the Healdton price.
An inquiry addressed TO the Sin
clair interests, at Tulsa, Tuesday rea.
tive to change in price in the Head
Ton field brought back a negative
answer. An official of the Sinclair
Company who was in this city re-
Gently stated in answer to the ques-
ton as to whether crude would be
cut in price that there was no reason
for any reduction in the near future,
Just as there was also no reason for
any further rise during the same
period. In his opinion, prices of oils
are due to remain steady. This Off
cial pointed out that as long as the
purchasing agencies are able to build
storage without injuring their credit
standings, during the period in which
the market was dull, the prices would
not be altered However. when stor.
age capacity is filled market is dull
and the buyers cannot afford TO build
more. then cuts occur. He further
stated that according TO figures and
statistics. there is sufficient storage
on hand and in course of construc
ton at the present time TO take care
Of all production until the spring dc
mand occurs.
1t will be remembered that the Sin
clair is erecting ten 10000 barrel stee

Ing sorrow, their infinite wisdom, their
inexpressible aloofness with which
they kept watch over the wilderness.
The smoke would drift about him In
soothing clouds; the glow u the Goals
was red and warm over him. He could
think then. Life revealed some Of Its
lesser mysteries to him. And he be-
! gan to glimpse the distant CLEAN OF
even greater truths and sometimes II
seemed to him that he could almost
catch and hold them. Always It was
some message that the pines were try

forms were the symbols. Il he could

patiently enough, and in whose cree,i

showing these two women the terrible

In the work, and strangely the fact
that It was part Of the plot against

alone In the darkness with Linda

woman-and the command Of simon in

seemed suddenly dim and far away. He
led them over hill, into the deeper
forest.
So intent was he that he quite failed
to observe q singular little signal be

an instant's glimpse Of something that
she transferred from her breast to her

over an outstretched root. 81,
