PROGRESS MARKED
IN OIL INDUSTRY
Leading Companies Can Look
Back on Real Advance
in Last Year.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 26.-A-
though it is still faced with difficul-
ties, the Oil industry can look back
upon 1882 as year of definite progress
Leading oil companies we're among
the few industrial classif1cations to
make a relatively better showing this
year than last.
The industry is now scanning the
field in the hope that gasoline price
advances, which were originally posted
in New York and New England. will be
followed by similar action In other sec
tions. This is essential, its proponents
hold. in order to prevent any under
mining of the price structure.
Prices Increased.
In addition, the industry has sue
ceeded in marking up crude oil quota
tions, IL of the country's leading mid
continent producers having stepped up
prices on October is with a 15-cent
barrel increase
Although the industry has been
handicapped by reduced sales. and it
currently is entering the period when
gasoline consumption normally de-
clines, the record shows considerable
improvement.
Stocks of gasoline are estimated by
the American Petroleum Institute at
48, ,321 900 barrels against the 1892 peak
last June Of 67000,000, a decline of
nearly 100000 barrels. This has
been accomplished, although consump-
ton this year is about per cent under
last years level The industry had an
ticipated sustained buying this year,
and in the first half had greatly in
creased its storage of gasoline.
Supplies Reduced.
Meanwhile, the Nations holding of
crude supplies has likewise been re-
duced through the cooperation Of the
principal oil producing States in a
program Of curtailment. The daily
average production of crude in the first
nine months of this year was 2,172, 900
barrels, against 2,3l1,0 in the corre-
spending 1881 period.

funds as best serving the interests OF
the entire country.
Charles M. Upharn, chairman OF the
congress, declares that the premise upon
= which is based the assumption that
highway money should be conserved to
highway purposes is supported by the
research of not only private but OF
governmental agencies.
These studies" he says, show that
while about 20 per cent Of our total
highway mileage of 100000 has been
improved in various stages only 4 per
cent has been permanently and durably
surfaced.
These Federal figures leave little
doubt that we still have a vast amount
of work to do before we may regard
the benefits Of motor transport as a
national blessing"
Those identified with construction
Il enterprise are prepared to show that
Fl diversion of gasoline tax and other
81 motor vehicle revenues has the effect
81 of adding to the acuteness of the un-
employment problem, Upham said.
