why GAS PRICE
WAS INCREASED
Inside Story Of Why Jump
Was Ordered

WICHITA FALLS. Tex. May ,5.--
Here's the inside story OF what's back
OF the Jump in gasoline prices. ac
cordlng TO veteran oil producers:
Various refining companies got
stuck with lot OF crude oil which
they bought at high prices before the
market broke.
For instance. Pennsylvania crude
oil now sells for 1926 "A barrel at the
wells. The war high peak was ts.l0
n barrel. Prices of oil produced In
other fields have. In "A rough way,
dropped correspondingiy for Penn
sylvania crude In the oil industry's
price barometer.
a lot OF this oil. bought at f61o n
barrel is still in storage. 1t has de
precinted in value t2.s5 a barrel.
TO cover such losses, most OF the
big companies have written OFF,
large sums In their inventories.
Now. by lacking up the price of
gasoline. they are trying TO recoup
to some extent.
When gasoline began advancing In
price, oil producers began expecting
a rise in the price paid them for
crude oil. Veterans In the Industry
now are less hopeful Of getting an
Increase for their oil runs.
Stocks Of gasoline on April 0atest
reported by bureau of mineD totaled
S54. 23l. .655 gallons. This was enough
to supply the country for el days. at
recent rate OF consumption.
Stocks OF gasoline on April ] were
L5 per cent larger than on April l.
1919.
But the American people are using
% per cent more gasoline than three
years ago.
on that basis. oil refincrs argue,
stocks are lower now In proportion
TO what's needed. than they were
four years ago.
