cussed by Trade.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, January s.-Major oil
units kept the industry in suspense
today on prospects of a widely expected
general boost in prices of crude
petroleum.
Oil men were on the alert on the
possibility big buyers might fall in linz
with an increase OF II cents a barrel,
effective yesterday. posted by the Con-
tinental and Barnsdall companies,
operating chiefly in the mid-contineut
and Rocky Mountain areas, and one
or two smaller units.
Continental informed the trade a
month ago it planned to raise the
crude price partly to cover rising
operating costs.
Informed oil men said the rest of the
industry apparently was waiting to
see if any of the standard units or other
big interests would join the move.
Might Be DELAYED.
They insisted a general advance of
IL to Is cents a barrel was probable
sooner or later. but might be delayed
for a more opportune time
Crude oil stocks. they pointed out,
have been falling steadily and have
reached the lowest point in the United
States since 1922. Meanwhile, gasoline
consumption has risen to new peaks.
However, this was described as a
relatively slack season for the oil IN
dustry pending the usual upturn in
consumption with the approach OF
Spring and improvement in motoring
conditions.
The last general advance was posted
early in 1886 Another hike. oil men
said, would put standard grades in the
midcontinent area around SIPS a
barrel.

duction in the United States decreased
