Production Of raw materials
other than crude, that is, ma
tural gasoline and benzol, also
declined in 1880. imports OF crude
petroleum and refined oils were
lower, and the total new supply
Of all oils amounted to 1.O56,3O5.-
600 barrels as compared with
1.171.S5s.OO0 barrels In 1929.
stock Trend Reversed
The trend in stocks OF all oils
was reversed in 1889, when a net
decline OF 2s.29e.OOO barrels was
recorded as compared with a net
increase OF 6s.156.OO0 barrels in
1923. Exports OF crude and re-
fined oils in 1880 totaled 1884,
666. goo barrels as compared with
$4,000 barrels In 1929.
The daily average indicated
domestic demand for all oils in
1880 amounted to 1888. 600 bar
rels as compared with an average
of 2,57e,0OO barrels in 1929.
This decrease reflects the de-
cline In crude throughput at re-
fineries.
Drilling Decreased
The number OF oil wells com
pleted in 1880, 1I.577. compared
with competitions in 1929, 15,572,
indicates q material falling off in
drilling activity. but the total ini-
tial output OF the competitions in
1880 was over 5O3per cent higher
.han in 1929.
The rank OF the leading crude
producing States in 1880 was mr.
changed from 1899. Texas was
again first. with a production Of
2s9.s65.0OO barrels. a slight drop
from the previous year. Produc-
ton in California declined mater
tally but the State retained second
place, with an output Of 22s. 0ss.-
