TRADE
WINDS
BY LOU SCHNEIDER

Last year, when investors
were buying stocks in antici-
patton Of the Nation pulling
out of the recession, securities
analysts practically pushed
them into oil shares. Now, in
all the bull market, those issues
are definitely Iaggards.
The securities statisticians
failed to note an oversupply of
crude oil and impending price
cuts. And were caught fiat
footed by the Venezuelan sharp
increase in oil company ircome
taxes. Moreover, they didn't
believe President Eisenhower
would dare to invoke oil import
restrictions. They knew nothing
of an April IS meeting of the
Arab oil-drenched countries.
The oil import curb can be
changed at will by the Presi-
dent. To make sure it isn't,
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat
of Wyoming, and Representa-
tive Aspinwal1, Democrat Of
Colorado, have introduced bills
to curb legislatively the flow Of
imported oil. Coal producers,
coal labor unions and coal
carrying railroads are cooper
ating to Ak oil import quotas.
The import quotas may
strengthen prices to consumers.
But, as in such instances as
lead and zinc, the higher prices
will encourage increased do
nestle production. Should it
happen in oil. it will restrain
price advances.
AS for the scheduled April IS
oil conference Of the Arab
countries, it isn't promising for
oil companies. Regardless Of
political differences among
those nations. they do have one
thought: An increased share
from oil company revenues
and they'll get it, too.
AS for the situation in the
United States, the oil industry
did very nicely this winter. De-
mand was close to record levels,
due to the cold weather. But
in producing heating fuels.
large amounts Of gasoline re.
suit as q by-product. Now the
trade must pray that weather
this summer will be favorable
for motoring. If not, gasoline
prices could crack. Selling COM
petition is keen.
