fiected in the estimates sent to Con-
gress by the budget bureau. which
means s94,S72,3O6, instead of s79.241,-
o51, according to the boards method
of figuring. This shows an increase
of S15,631,255 or 1913 per cents

makes it a permanent increase in SAL

the increased cost of living, and the
fact that many thousands of emer-

OUTPUT FALLING OFF
Last Quarterly Production Report Of
Oklahoma Smaller.

Oklahoma City, Okla. Feb. Is
Oklahoma's last quarterly production
report of 1922 shows a considerable
decrease. Returns to the states audi
tor for gross production tax purposes
show total of 3S.JT7 ,443 barrels pro.
duced during the last quarter. making
a decrease of approximately 100000
barrels over the previous quarter.
Larger companies showed 4 slight
falling off during the three-month
period, however the Gypsy Oil Com
pany was an exception to this and
with a total production of 1924. 55G
barrels topped the list as the leading
producer. A heavy production from
the Burbank nd Hewitt districts By
the Carter Oil Company came in Sec
ond with only a slight margin over the
Prairie Oil and Gas Company.
According to the tax returns, which
are made in the form of sworn state
ments, the state had a total produc-
ton of 155,945.072 barrels.
Indications are that Oklahoma will
increase this figure during 1923. The
Tonkawa field at the close of 1922 was
giving promise Of succeeding the Bur-
hank pool as the largest producing
field in the state.

man must spend money to ma

Borrowers Are Accommodated.
They are getting it to spend. n
banks are in a splendid positid
Their credit is not strained and mon
is neither tight nor high. HowevI
the prospect that both raw and FIND
ed products will advance to ST
higher levels has started a hurr1
movement of buying which the md
conservative financers and busind
men are watching with consideral|
concern.
Clothing manufacturers and deald
already are buying overcoats for mel
winter, anticipating that prices a
wooden goods, especially heavyweigI
goods, will advance materially befo|
that time. A marked increase
capital will be required to carry thoI
goods until they reach the ultina)
consumer.
Motor Company Liabilities Grow.
The balance sheets of the mott
manufacturers, for the first time
many months are beginning to sho
obligations for borrowed mono
They have the orders on their book
but they fear still further advanc|
in steel, rubber, leather and pal
glass and they have been scramble
to obtain generous supplies of RAJ
materials. As consequence in som
instances, current liabilities are gro1
ing out of proper relation TO curreI
assets.
The rush for building material
has forced a similar situation in tho|
commodities. Potential CONSTRUCTED
is such as to warrant ANTICIPATED
of undiminished activity for two yea

investment and effort, but there is
decided tendency to anticipate III

The advances in cotton, the jun
in sugar, the rise in copper, the pro-
pect of higher prices for wool o
have sent manufacturers and col
sumers into the market. The bank
are being asked to finance these pui
chases and as the security and I'll
prospects have warranted it, fe
legitimate requests for funds hay
been denied.
