Oil Chief Explains
Price Weakness
" olMme at Any Cost
Mania Is Responsible,
Says E. G. Schubert

CHICAGO, Jan. 4.-"The extra
ordinary mania for volume at any
cost which besets some of the
marketing organizations in the in
dustry." explains the fact that
price weakness has made much of
the years business Improbable,
according to Edward G.. Schubert,
president of Standard Oil Compay
of Indiana, reviewing petroleum
industry conditions in 1910.
Schubert pointed out the price
trend has not corresponded with
rising demand in 1910, with whole
sale prices of petroleum products
of per cent and index of retail
prices at the lowest mark Of which
there is record except for 1888.
He said there had been notable
gains in amount of both crude oil
and motor fuel in storage but that
this alone. considering demand
trend is not sufficient to cause
price weakness.
