JUMP IN MOTOR
FUEL Sticks

An increase Of 100000 bar.
rels in the storage of motor fuel
last week. as reported by the
American Petroleum Institute,
gives point to the current efforts
of the oil code administration
and industry officials to correct
the tendency toward excessive
storage.
The figure of 58,0O3, 900 barrels
of motor fuel at the end Of last
week, including 3,550,000 barrels
Of natural gasoline, is 1898 900
barrels higher than the amount
set by Secretary Ickes, oil ad.
ministrator, for February % and
1,793,O0O barrels higher than the
March 81 objective.
The institute revised its figure
of gasoline storage for March
3 upward by 10000 barrels, due
to the fact that one Of the com.
panies on the East Coast had
some stocks which were not pre-.
viously reported.
With better motoring Condi.
tions, the storage Of gasoline
should currently begin to show q
reduction. It has usually been
the practice in the industry to
accumulate stocks during the
winter season to meet the spring
and summer demand, but there
has, nevertheless, been q ten
dency to increase storage ex'
cessively.
