"Marketers are all so greedy and

OEMULGEE. Dec. Z3.-Consump-
tion Of crude oil I'm the fields east Of

cocded production by 1,913.25O bar
rtls fro the month OF November. not
wIthst8udlng tho fact that prSduc-
ton in these fields showed a net I'm
crease OF HSO,25O barrels during the
month according tu figures COM
piled and published by the American
pctroi'um institute.
Tho bulletin Of the institute Issued
under date Of December IA says
Pipeline and tank farm gross do
mestic crude oil stocks east of tho
Rocky mountains decreased 933,O
barrels In the month OF November
according 20 reports made to the
American Petroleum institute by
representative companies. The net
change shown by the reporting COM
panies accounts for increases and
decreases In general crude oil stocks
including crude oil in transit"
Bulletins issued weekly by the In
gtiLutc during the month OF Novem-
Der show the following increases and
decreases in the daily average pro-
duction Of the fields east Of the
Rocky mountains during the month
of November:
Week Ending. Increase. Decrease.
November 4........l 4 1850
November 11.......3O,2 goo
November IS ...,.. 100
November % ...... 12,9Ou
Decemher,2 ........ 500
These figures show that produc-
tion east OF the Rocky mountains in
creased 1880 barrels in tho first
tour days Of November, 295,050
barrels in the next seven days and
l49,O0O barrels in the. last five days
OF the month, a combined net in
crease during the month OF 9S0.25O
barrels. with production showing
an Increase OF $50, $50 barrels in the
fields east of tho Rocky mountains
during the month of November and
stocks in the same fields showing n
decrease OF $4,000 barrels. II IS ap-
parent that consumption during the
month more than kept pace with
production in these fields and that
consumption actually exceeded pro-
duction by 1,915,250 barrels during
the month.
This fact seems the more remark
able as the figures published by the
petroleum institute show that the
fields east of the Rockies were pro-
ducing 1,17S,050 barrels per day at
! tho end of November, a new high
record for all time. But consunp-
tion figures in the high sgrade oil
fields are also breaking records and
there are ample indications that
price advances In the fields where
high gravity oil is produced, VIII
come early in 1929.
