Paris. May 27.-The war of the pump
and can which has been sending the
price of gasoline down sharply during

spread rapidly, SO rapidly that the big
local refiners who have large sums
locked up in cans grew alarmed and
began cutting prices against the
pump.
The pump interests responded and
between them the price of the gallon
dropped by sta ges from $3.50 to IS
cents. Tho belligerents then found
the war Improbable, came to an ar
rangement and raised the price by IS
cents a gallon, at which advance 1t
