Encouraging Report
From New York City

Reports from New York state that
oil executives expect crude oil to re-
main firm throughout the winter
months. Despite the open weather, gaso-
line consumption continues, they point
out, and the seasonable decrease in
gasoline prices have been made. Dur
ing the past few years, each winter has
seen big gain In gasoline consumption
over the previous similar period, due
TO new road construction and increasing
use of closed type automobiles.
According to the head Of one of the
large Standard subsidiaries, eastern re-
finers are taking oil from the mid
continent districts IN big quantities.
Main trunk lines from oklahoma, Kan
sas and north Texas are running oil
through the lines to capacity. Also,
some mid-contnent oil is being run to
the Baton Rouge refinery Of the Stand
ard Oil OF Louisiana for the first time
in several years. Formerly this plant
took about 30 ,OOO barrels daily from the
mid-continent but development in the
Homer. Haynesville and FL Dorado
pools. with big flush productions, and
large imports ITOIn -heNiCp' Cdu@Su NN-
cline in the mid continent demand. Re
Gently $4,000 barrels have been taken
daily from, the mid-contment fields
through this line.
A tremendous demand for kerosene
is another factor favoring refinerles.
Coal is being replaced with kerosene in
many homes throughout the east. Man
ufacturers of Kerosene appliances such
as cook stoves and heaters, are run
ming their plants to capacity.
Another encouraging feature Of the
market is the collapse Of production in
Mexico. During September there was
imported only 2,6S3.OO barrels of light
Mexican oil, which was only about 40
per cent of the 6,l27,OO0 barrels lm-
ported in July Of this year.
