There will be q surplus Of OH

II am informed ON good

1900 barrels of Kelvin and 1900

going TO get hungry pretty
soon and they are going 10
sell that on for whatever it

BIG SQUEEZE
ON IN CANADA

Every operator In Northern
Montana has felt ever since
last fan tfaE there was some
thing going on behind the
scenes In the oil industry,
pertaining 20 the Canadian
market.
Nearly everyone has felt
thAt divorce proceedings are
afoof between Ohio on COM
pany, heretofore the dominant
producer, and Imperial OH com.
paily, heretofore the dominant
DuyeR of North Montana crude.
That Is one possibility, bat
Il does not explain everything.
The Saskatchewan market
has been disturbed by hot oil
from tile Afidconfinent which
made the growth Of q flock Of
little swimmers which pr0fited
by q considerable anni-Stan-
dArd campaign and seriously
disturbed the gasoline market.
Then appeared Brifish~Am-
erican OH corporation, buying
and building refinertes In AL
berta and Saskatchewan. After
that came Highway Refineries
Ltd, which took over . number
of little plants, paying fabu-
lous prices for them, with sap-
parently an unlimited check
book. The control of the Alder
ta-SasAatciaswan refining I'm
dustry swung into the hands Of
three groups almost siEnuitan-
eOusly with am advance An
freight rates which definitely
bars MidcOntinent crude cost
ing 81 per barrel or more.
This seemed to rebound to the
enefit of Montana producers who
ave an avantage Of from 16 "a
cents per barrel, at present
osted prices. The 640O-barrel I'm.
erial refiney at Regina summarily
hut down. Saskatchewan has been

Then arose a movement to have

Grs down TO Argentine and other

Ike the situation very seriously.
A hearing at Regina last week
vea1ed that the movement for the
moyal Of the 21kc per gallon
riff on Canadian gasoline imports
ID been organized with meticulous
re by person or persons who

lrmers' unions, labor unions, po-

atoms we're arrayed in an aston

Canadian observers say that II

FAILURES In

WASHINGTON. March 80. RD-
Signs OF a downward trend In busi-
ness failures. after a long period
IN which they we're on the increase
were reported Saturday In a chart
prepared by NRA's division OF re-
search and planning.
The chart portrayed an almost
regular gain In the number OF fall
ures IN the years lg2i-3i inclusive,
put a sharp drop beginning early
IN 1888.
In 1922. the rear after the l920-2l
depression, there also was a substan-
tial decline In the number on fall
ures. but not substantial enough TO
break the lOng-term upward trend.
The chart presented what IL
known az a trend line" With this
line an attempt was made TO Iron
out year-t0-year fluctuations and
show what the trend on the whole.
While the evidence was called toe
meager to indicate positively that a
new lnng-term trend has been start
ed. research officials Id NRA say they
are convinced that even II failures
increase In the future. such increase
will be az "A substantially lower rate
than that recorded during the 1871
1892 period.
Even in the best RI times business
' failures have been numerous
