Paying Of Premiums for

barrol above the posted price fnr
crude Uf 3s gravity ana above, this
policy has become practically gem
ornl throughout the Mid-Coutucut

bic, however, that an tho rompuuirs

feroutial effective In an ticlds that
a report Cumc out OF New YORK
Thursday that The Texas had boost
ed the price Of Mid-Coniincnt crude.
Tho Independent rcfIncra hive
been having to scramble for high
grade crude for some time. For
instance at Tonkawa, where indo-
pendeuts are the only purchasers.
the regular premium has been 7b
cents a barrel. whilo II is reported
ne high na $l2j has been offered
in some cnsos The Hame applies
TO CARRIER, where the OIL is Of an
unusually high grade As high ~
there several weeks ago, and this
may have been increased since that
time.
Numerous independent companies
are paying AZ high as so cents pre-
mium In the Oonge, one buyer
stated that his company paid so
cents on high-Erade crude, hun that
the premium for crude OF lower
grade from the OsaEo ran 10, 10
and 25 cents a barrel
Practically no crude goes out OF
the Lyons pool without premium
OF 25 cents. while one company II
reported TO be paying As cents above
the posted price.
This all argues well for tho pro-
ducor. who has been literally be-
tween the devil and the deep blue
for couple OF months. Even
though the general market has not
been advanced, the growth Of tho
premium habit increases the value
of a lot OF the oil that has been
stored dunng tho period Of ever
production. II Is estimated that
2here are something like one hun
dred tanks OF oil now In stornge
that would bring "a premium.
1t might be well to point out,
however, that the shut-down move
ment still must be given thought.
The poster price has not advanced
and the producer who bringa in
flush production below 3S gravity
in all probability still viii have TO
take Sl25 for 1t. lie might just as
well leave this oil In the ground 30
long as his neighbor is letting him
alone and the lease still has some
time to run. II Is a lot better TO

the pessimsts think either. Con-
dItions change mighty quick In the
