TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1923. Coe Casper Dally Cribune >: Finance CALIFORNIA OUTPUT TO TAKE BIG SLUMP Marked Decrease in Production from Pools in Los Angeles District Predicted by First of Year by Experts LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23—By the end of the present year ofl produc- tion of the three great pools in the Los Angeles district, Signal Hill, Huntington Beach and Santa Fe Springs will commence to register a marked decrease, and during 1924 motorists will pay for the cheap gas- oline they now are burning freely at low prices, according to findings of experts reported to the petroleum institute and to the Southern Cali- fornia Ol Producers Executive com- mittee. Petroleum institute engineers es- timate that the Los Angeles district wells will show a combined out- put of 500,000 barrels daily at the close of 1923, The old producers’ experts fix the figure at from 415,- 000 to 486,000 barrels, but both agree that with January 1, 1924, a material falling off will be noticed. Roy B. Collom, ofl and gas sup- ervisor for the California State Mining Bureau, expressed the opin- fon that the decline in production Was certain to come, but that it would not be nearly so rapid as the rise. All predictions, however, are made on the basis of production of proven fields and take no account of pos- sible developments elsewhere. Two Gushers LOS ANGELES, Oct. 23—Two ofl wells with an aggregate initial flow of 5,300 barrels were brought -in during the last 24 hours in southern California fields. The pan-Amer- ican Petroleum Company's pan Am- erican number 1 down 5,000 feet. came in at Signal Hill with a flow of 8,500 barrels; the Pan American number five, belonging to the same company, opened up at 3,570 feet with a flow of 1,800 barrels. Water Is Struck At 2,900 Feet in Colorado Field Hamilton dome in Colorado over which much enthusiasm has been worked up within the past several months, has received somewhat of a setback due to the Texas com- pany getting water at 2,900 feet. Colorado's prospects of making good as an oil state are lessened by the result of the Union Oil com- pany test near Wellington in Lar- imer county, Sma showings of gas and oil were encountered about 10 days ago but the first Wall Creek wand has just been passed through and found barren. The Union hole ts tn excellent con- dition, however, and it will be con- tinued down to test the second Wall Creek sand and the Dakota forma- tion, both of waicn are expected within the next 700 feet. The Texas company on Hamilton dame in Craig county will continue With its test until every sand less than 4,000 fse1 {7 dsoth is picked up. It is thought that this test will be completed before winter its in. Market Gossi p and Briefs On Operations in Oil Fields Good by Rozet Drilling ahead steadily after being somewhat held back by cavéeins and water, the Rozet test in Campbell county !s now in a shale formation at a depth of about 1,400 feet. been landed at 3,! ed by the Hatfield Oil company in its test of the Eight Mile Lake struc- ture near Rawlins. A shutoff of the second Wall Creek sand, which produced some gas and water, bas Drilling was resumed today. Bsti- mates place the present depth of the hole within 220 feet of the Dakota sand in which production is expected — Shutdown for Winter ‘The American Oil Field Workers, who have been operating in the Crooks Gep district in Carbon coun- ty for the past three years, have closed down operations for the winter. During the past couple of months the company has encountered con- siderable trouble with the hole which ie now down 8,486 feet, but recently succeeded in removing a string of 4%-Inch casing from the well which had been run sometime ago. ‘Work will be resumed on the well in the early spring and the 6%-inch casing will be carried to the present depth of the hole. Several good showings of both oil and gas were encountered during the drilling this year and officials of the company fee! confident that they will be ally to bring in a pro- ducing well saortly after resuming operations in the spring. Specifications for Kerosene Results of survey of the kerosenes marketed in the United States, con- ducted by the department of the tn- terior, through the bureau of mines indicate the need of further investi gation as to long-time burning oil. In this work the bureau of mines was able to obtain the co-operation of the signal section of the Ameri- can Railway association. <A large number of samples of railroad oll Performance proves the new Goodrich DeLuxe Tractor T; truck tire designed for, heaviest duty, Heavy loadings and long having. “Best in the Long Rum" Liberty Garage 428 S.

It is hoped that! this work will eventually result in the preparation*of a more satisfac- tory specification for this product than now exists, MUTUAL BUYS PIPE LINE The Mutual Oil company has pur- chased the 6-inch pipe line from the Cat Creek field to Winnett, Mont., formerly owned by the Independent Pipe Line company, now in liquida- tion. This line was sold by the sheriff to the Continental Supply company for $52,000 under foreclo- sure. The Mutual company will equip the line with oll-driven pumps and use it to relieve the congestion of the 4tnch line from the field which is owned jointly by the Mu- tual and the Midwest Refining com- pany.

BERLIN, Oct. 23—(By The As- sociated Press)—With the German nationalists demanding the resigna- tion of the Stresemann government, the cabinet today discussed events in the Rhineland. Official opinion is that the success of the separatist movement in several Rhenish towns and cities has seriously affected not only the morale of the Ruhr population but also the pristige of the reich. An order has been issued prohibit- ing display of the red flag.

STOCKS HEAVY IN LATE SALES Many Issues Touch New Lows for Year In New York Trading NEW YORK, Oct, 23,—Alternate periods of weakness and strength characterized today's quiet stock market with the general tendency toward lower levels. Speculators for the decline again succeeded in foro- ing sharp recessions in a number of the rubber and leather shares while the general list was inclined to yield in sympathy with the weakness of the foreign exchanges. Sales ap- proximated 550,000 shares. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Stock prices developed a reactionary trend at the opening of today’s stock market in reflection of the further weakness of sterling to another new ‘ow record for the year. Initial re- cessions in the usuai leaders were held to small fractions. Pacific Gas and Electric dropped 1%. Selling pressures was jumed against the rubber and leather shares and some of the olls but to- baccos were again in good demand. New lows for the year were estab- shed by American Sugar, Central Leather common and preferred, United States Rubber first pre- ferred, Goodrich Rubber and pressed Steel Car preferred. Foreign ex- changes opened weak. Confusing price movements took place during the morning with no definite trend apparent before noon. Merchandising and tobacco shares were inclined to be strong while food and rubber stocks yielded easily to selling pressure. Most of the other shares fluctuated aimless- ly in rather sluggish trading and in contrast to the number of new low records. Baktin: Woolworth and Kresge advanced 2%, five and 6% Dolnts respectively, to new peak prices for the year. Towards noon the so-called Hill ratlroad stocks were again offered in rather heavy volume, Great Northern preferred dropping two points to a new bottom price for the year while Northern Pactfio came within % of a point of the 1928 minimum price. Call money opened at 4% per cent. Individual instances of short eell- ing and lUquidation gave the market a heavy tone in the afternoon when a score of stocks were quoted at their lowest prices of the year, Woolworth dropped to 257% after touching 276. The closing was irregular. Re- vival of the demand for tobacco and merchandising issues in the la dealings checked the selling move- ment in other quarters and there were some atrong rallies, Cotton NEW YORK, Oct. 23—New high levels for the season were reached today in the cotton market when October sold at 30.35, December at $0.25 and March at 29.83, repre senting net advances of about 50 to 65 points.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 23—Another move which was declared to be ac- tion intended to rid organized labor in Nebraska of radicalism was made when the executive committee of the state federation of labor withdrew endorsement of the Midwest Labor News, a labor paper published here. The action was tak- en, committee members said, on the ground the paper has published views derogatory to the policies of the state and American Federation, According to Joseph A. Lichray, editor and publisher of the paper, the objection of the federation men to the paper is due to publicity It has given to the work “in the inter- est of amalgamation of unions into ‘one big union’ for each industry.” He branded their action as a “trial and sentence in which the jury was picked but the defendant not allowed to be heard or to be present.”* ———————________ and generally unsatisfactory ser- vice.
