"FLIVVER" IS A LUXURY,
 SAY LAWS OF FRANCE

PARIS, June 21. - Is a flivver a luxury?
 French law says it is. It demands a "taxe de luxe" of 10 per cent on everything that runs on four wheels and eats gasoline, irrespective of age, race or previous condition of servitude.
 M Maurice Ajam, deputy, comes to bat for the fliyver. He proposes that the Chamber of Deputies suppress the tax on all motor cars of less value than 15,00O francs (about $1,500), which, in France, means flivvers and their kin.
 "It won't make much difference in the budget" M Ajam is reported to have argued

"sRE's GOING TO $4"

"She's going to four dollars" is the attitude of the average producer in this field. Conditions seem to jus tify this attitude.
 One of the big contributing factors in keeping Eastern crude prices down so far has been the ability of refiners to get so large a percentage of gaso- line out of Western oils. With com paratively little demand for other re- fined products Pennsylvania and near by grades of crude were compelled to compete with these.
 With industry at a standsiill lubri- cants simply represent frozen" stocks that cannot be moved by refiners With industry going on reasonable basis these lubricants become a high ly desirable asset to the refiner com peting for business.
 To the Eastern oil fields rise in crude is like a rise in the price of wheat or corn to the farmer in the grain belt. Business will undoubtedly be stimulated throughout the South ern New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky fields as thousands of small and large oil pro ducers come into the market for pur- chases they have been withholding until they could see which way OH would go.

CRUDE OIL IS EXPECTED HIT
 HIGH MARK

OIL CITY, Pa, June 21.-Enormous demand for gasoline, stiffened demand for fuel oil and lubricants and nation wide decrease in production of crude oil, curtailment of Mexican oil imports and failure of increased production in such fields as Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and California to counterbal- ance decreases elsewhere in the oil fields are the big contributing factors in the series of advances that have been occurring the past few weeks
 North Texas crude quotations were increased about two weeks ago. Pre- miums have been paid in a good many weeks.
 The demand for gasoline and fuel oils, light lubricating oils and an i'm proved market for heavier grades of lubricants probably are as great a fac tor as any in the rise of Eastern crudes.
 From well-authenticated sources it is learned that numerous Eastern re- liners have been unable to secure suf- ficient Pennsylvania crude to keep operations up to the point that the de- mand for refined products justifies.
 Having this situation in mind, one refiner in this district is of the opin- ion that Pennsylvania crude will be forced up to $4 barrel within a few months.
 Should a large scale business re- sumption materialize it is this refin- CTS belief that a top market of $5 a barrel for Pennsylvania crude will be the result
 Producers in the Eastern fields are not excited by the advance of twenty five cents, and while oil sales will na- turally be stimulated among those who are unable to carry their stocks most producers are planning to hold on for a still higher market.
