D0uGHERTY
OPPOSED TO
OIL TARIFF

The Journal has received from
New York the "other side'' OF the
controversy over the alleged oil
famine. this coming from Cities
Service company. a proponent of
lowered tariff on oil. Just as for
eign countries need 100000 bar
rels OF American light crudes per
year. so does the United States
need heavy asphaltic crudes from
Venezuela and Mexico. and this
oil is imported despite tariff Of
21 cents a barrel. says Cities Ser
vice.
"Tha' 40 available American
crudes can successfully be substi-
tuted for these imports, has been
proved. and unquestionably inn
ports OF heavy asphaltic crudes to
the Atlantic seaboard are vital
necessity to. that part Of the Am
erican industry Just as American
light crudes are indispensable to
me refining industry in Europe. It
might also be added that American
crude stocks have been reduced by
35,00e. 600 barrels since 1885. For
this reason. the importation Of
certain amount of foreign crudes
can in no way injure the price
structure OF domestic products"
The report says that petroleum
imports have declined 27.2 percent
since 1892 while expor's have in
creased 24.2 per cent.

While there Is no local record
Of the amount OF oil stored by
Canadian refiners, It is deemed
probable that they are carrying no
great excess of storage oil beyond
winter demands since they know
that the oil will be available to
them when they need It in the
spring.
Whether the agency Of the OIL
Board can be utilized
in the spring to control orderly de-

OUTLOOK FOR
PRESENT YEAR
Is PROMISING

ped 10 cents per barrel in Tex
as and tie Midcontinent dur
ing the past week, marking
the turning point in the OH in-
dustry Of tkIe nation.
With national production down
TO the approximate level Of con-
sumption. with no important flush
production. and the lowest stor-
age Of many years the general sit
uation begat a price increase that
has been forseen In eastern finan-
cial centers for several weeks
Gasoline consumption set an all
time record in the United States
during 1885. This. combined with
rurtaiIed imports and greatly i'm
crossed exports has served to re-
move distress" products from the
market. The European war scare
has greatly increased export trade
and there is every reason TO ex-
pee. greater consumption during
1886 than during the past year.
Production of crude in 1885 is
estimated at 100000 bbl.. or
S4,OOO.OO0 barrels above 1884.
Against this record production was
a consumption of 1S,15O.OOO.O 900
gallons of gasoline. a new all-time
record.
Above-ground orage at the end
of the year is estimated at s11.-
600, 900 barrels. the lowest of any
recent year and more than 1OO,-
600, 900 barrels below the COM
parative recent peak.
The increase places the price of
-Midcon inent and Texas crude at
s1.1O per barrel against price of
$500 maintained since 1888. Price
increases have been noted in every
other section Of the country ex-
cepting the Rocky Mountain re-
gion.
