OIL RACKETEER
STILL MENACE

There are 100000 barrels of
"hot oil" Icing in storage in
Texas awaiting an opportunity
to evade President Roosevelt's s
order banning the shipment in
interstate commerce of illegally
produced crude, and this oil prob
ably will be refined and shipped
as gasoline or kerosene unless
steps are taken by the Federal
Government to include refined
products as we'll as crude in the
order, says the current T. S.
Hose review.
Mr.. Hose declares the Oil rack
eteer will make desperate last
stand to realize on his invest
ment and unless drastic measures
are taken the petroleum situation
will remain menaced by the law
less operator. He predicts an
attempt will be made by the
racketeering element to show that
the big companies are running
and storing "hot crude"
The industry would welcome an
investigation along this line, he
says, as it would show that the
major companies have never
taken a barrel of illegally pro-
duced oil or purchased a barrel
below the posted market price,

'BUY|NGPOWER'S s
NEED IS SEEN

The Standard Statistics Com
pany's current survey says busi-
ness activity continues to expand,
seasonal influences having failed
to cause more than a moderate
slackening in some lines. Its July
index preliminary is at the
highest level since September,
1880. 1t comments:
Deferred demand among
consumers for every conceivable
kind of goods probably exists
on a scale unprecedented in
recent times. Much of this
demand is as yet not effective,
because purchasing power is
lacking, but there is another
great division of it which has
been kept imperative, not by
lack Of money, but by lack of
confidence.
"A great deal is now being
done to restore confidence, and
the spectacle of rising prices
acts as spur to buying. Higher
prices for agricultural products,
if reasonably maintained to the
harvest season, will place in the
hands of farmers a cash fund
larger than was available last
season."
In spite of distress in some
quarters caused by crop failures,
a turn in the agricultural situa-
ton may prove one of the deci-
sive factors in putting business
recovery on a solid basis, as it has
done more than once in the past,
the survey concludes.

NEW YORK, June 20.-Prices turned
downward in the late trading on the
Curb Exchange today, wiping out some
substantial gains made early in the
session and closing the list with numer-
Gus net losses.
Declines were not large and the re-
action was to be expected following
Mondays brisk advance. Some short
selling undoubtedly combined with
profit-taking to force prices lower.
Electric Bond & Share, which, as
usual, set the pace for the market, was
down 8 points at 351s near the close
after having pushed ahead a point
shortly after the opening. Other util-
tiles also yielded to the pressure, though
many of the losses were confined to
