Figures
What They Mean
BY 4. A. PATTON,


NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Faced with
the largest December stocks of fin
Lshed and unfinished gasoline in his
tory, the oil industry banks on rising
consumption of fuel in homes and fac
tories to offset possible difficulties from
this source
The latest estimate OF gasoline in
ventories by the American Petroleum
Institute placed the total at 7O,5l3.OOO
barrels, an increase of more than TO-
100000 barrels over the comparable
period year ago.
This record-breaking storage supply
of gasoline has been built up despite
the fact consumption has shown rela-
lively small gains over 1886
In October, for instance the United
States Bureau of Mines placed daily
gas consumption at 1,463 900 barrels,
against l427,00O barrels last year.
With the Nation currently in the grip
of business depression. few analysts
expect the gain to be maintained
through the year
Major Change Seen.
Trade circles look on this damned
up supply of gasoline as the manifes-
tation of major change that is taking
place in the oil industry. They agree
stocks are large when measured by old
standards and would not be surprised
to see a new peak established next
spring
On the other hand, oil men say the
steady upward trena of fuel oil con-
sumption to warm houses and heat
factories in the winter has altered the
entire complexion of the industry.
In former years production was dras-
tically curtailed during the cold
months because automobile travel was
reduced to minimum. Little income
was received from less refined products
than gasoline at that time.
Today, however, there are more than
100000 homes being heated by oil,
and other thousands of business prop
critics relying on petroleum for
warmth. This means both winter
and summer demand and new trends
in gasoline inventories, since the pro-
duction of fuel neceSsitates the manu-
fac of liquid power.
Statsticians familiar with the in
dustry> point out fuel oil business is so
profltable-yielding greater net in
come per gallon than gasoline, hitherto
the biggest money maker-it is worth
storing the more highly refined until
summer
There is an obvious risk, as they
view the situation, tn; I heavy inven-
tories may bring another orgy of price
cutting such as those that ravaged
profits during the depression. This
possibility would be enhanced by a
continuance Of the present slack busi-
ness activity into the spring, when
some of the smaller companies in the
industry might be pressed for cash.
The probability of such condition
is minimized, experts say, by the fact
this year will in many instances be
the best ever recorded Then, too,
most of the inventories will be held by
large concerns, we'll able to carry them
il necessary.
Another factor counted on to help
maintain stability is that few of the
large companies own service station
chains. The individual owners, there
fore, who take the loss when prices are
cut, are not expected TO slash them
promiscuously.
