This represents a daily average, of 21,260,018 gal- lons. Imports during October were |20,001,431. gallons which, added to production, shows a new supply of 679,062,001 gallons or a daily average of 21,905,226 gallons. Stocks on hand at refineries October 31 were reported as 946,872,083 gallons, show- ing a decrease during the month amounting to 25,832,149 gallons. Domestic demand for gasoline dur- ing October showed a decrease of nearly 6 per cent, sales amounting to 617,699,699 gallons, Exports (in- cluding shipments to Alaska, Ha- wail, and Porto Rico) were 87,194,451 gallons. The total demand (domestic demand plus exports) amounted to 704,894,150 gallons, a daily average of 22,738,521 gallons which shows a decrease of nearly 7 per cent from the September demand.

These plants ran to refinery stills a daily average of. 1,642,068 barrels of foreign and domestic crude oils, thus operating at 76.5 per cent of their capacity and an in- crease of about 1 per cent over the operations during September. These plants are, with but few exceptions among the smaller refineries, the same group which \ was operating last month and the iticreas» reported in capacity is caused by a few large refineries reporting increases. fii i ae eas Foreign Exchange NEW YORK, Dec. 8—Foreign ex- changes frregular; quotations in cents: Great Britain demand 435%; cables 436%; 60-day bills on banks 4355.
