NEW YORK, October 1.-The re-

small municipal issues are being adj
verified with coupons ranging from

hears that Henry Ford expects to
reyolutionize not only the automobile
business, but also the oil industry
Well informed men, who watch Ford's
movements closely, understand tina,
he is negotiating for big oil proper
ties. planning to produce crude Oil In
huge quantities, refine this into gaso-
line and sell 1t to Ford car drivers
only, at Is cents a gallon.
Thus. it Is assumed, the manufac-
turer will make his dream of 10000
automobile production per day come
true. 1t is suggested also that the

man" will become a fact.
wall street fnanciers say that the
general scheme Is not only logical
but economically sound.
In the financial district, 1T is said
gasoline selling in New York at e
cents retail is produced at around 1C
cents. Assuming this to be true
Henry Ford, with his own oil wells
could sell gasoline at 16 cents and yet
make a substantial profit, it is ar
gued.
