of the general suspension in the BIZ
luminous fields, have stored supplies
of fuel sufficient for three to four
months of operation, according to
Charles ID. Morris, assistant chairman

in a considerable loss on tonnage and

other hand, there has been a heavy
movement since the first of the year
which will materially offset the slump
