Mexico is Only Foreign Field

(F'rom Commerce and Finance. Pre-
pared by Munds & Wnslow, New
York;
We are bullish on oil. This view
is based primarily on the collapse of the
Toteco pool in the Mexican oil fields.
That pool was producing at the rate of
about $4,000 barrels of oil a day, prior
to the appearance of salt water on July
2 last. At the height of production
in February the pool produced about
500 900 barrels of oil a day. At pres
ent it is producing less than 100000
barrels of oil day. and further steady
loss can be regarded as certain. From
Its high point the pool now shows a
loss of 400 900 barrels of oil a day, or
20 per cent of the worlds total pro.
duction.
Such a reduction in the worlds oil
output in the course of few months
will not be replaced rapidly, nor will
II be replaced with such cheap oil.
Other pools will continue to produce in
Mexico. but for the most part they are
closely held and the oil will not be

expense than formerly.
Recently Mexico has been producing

and most or il thrown on the markets

can be safely said that such a volume
Of cheap oil will not be available for

Higher Prices Assured.
All Of this means that higher priced
oil is assured with a continuation of
normal business conditions and more
specifically it means that the American
oil industry will prosper. Other foreign
sources Of supply can be dismissed
from consideration as factors in the
situation for several years. at least.
Only Russia is capable of giving a
large supply Of Oil but the industry
there is in a state of chaos because Of
the political conditions.
In arriving at a bullsh viewpoint
on oil, ii should be kept in mind that
the demand for gasoline is a permanent
factor just as fixed as the demand for
shoes. The trouble with the industry

the flood OF chean Mexican oil which
helped only a few refiners. was that

ing over the ordinary use of fuel or
oil or coal. 1t happened in this way:
Mrs. Shaw was drying out a kiln, and
for this purpose was burning kerosene
under it. Some of the kerosene cans
had been standing for quite a while,
and water had accumulated in them
By accident, the whole combination
was used, and an immensely hotter
flame was produced.
Scientists have declared until very
lately" says Mrs. Shaw, that it is
of course impossible to burn water.
However. had done it, and not being

thing"
One of Mrs. Shaws oil and water
burners has been operating an $4,000
horse power plant in Texas for some
time. This is the only big private
plant using the invention thus far
Mrs. Shaw has used everything in
the way of oil from kerosene TO the
very poorest grades of crude oil, full
of dirt and foreign substances. She
has yet to record a failure. Naturally

special" However, practically every
kind of oil has been tried out, and 1t
has been found that the very lowest
grades will work all right, if they
are heated SO that they will run freely
In using the heaviest grades of oil,
steam pipes are run through the tanks
to heat the oil in cold weather In
really warm weather this expedient
doubtless will be unnecessary.
One great advantage claimed for
the new system over coal firing is the
saving In labor. Mrs. Shaw says it
has been demonstrated that to oper-
ate plant requiring a dozen men
when coal is burned, with her system
installed, only four men would be
needed. There is big saving, too, in
the cost of the two fuels, as the cheap
est grades of oil can be burned, with
out having the oil put through any
refining process at all.
By combining the water with oil, it
is claimed that tests have shown Il
saving of, roughly, so per cent over
the ordinary burning of fuel oil. This
is because a hotter fire is secured
from the use of considerably less oil
Another advantage in the use of
Oil instead of coal in any kind OF
power or heating plant is the absence
of any ash. To engineers this means
a two-fold saving-first, no labor is
necessary in feeding the fuel to the
boilers nor in removing the ashes
second, the whole weight of the fuel
used is burned up and all of it pro
