@ peak of 8,225,000 barrels early last fall. Production of crude in 1922, as estimated by government officials i totalled around 735,000,000 barrels, Consumption in this country, tn- clusive of exports, amounted to 730,- 000,000 barrels. This was an in- ~ crease of 27.7 above 1922. Mexico sent us about 80,000,000 barrels last i If eonsumption on why “hers should not, about 9,- 000,000 bareis of of will be required in 1924. At the Jresent rate of out- Dut, total domestic productior. would be 690,000, year, there would %e available 770,000,000 Barrels to stpply a 900,- a 000,000 barrel demand. These facts i offer am explanation for the {increase } in oll and gasoline prices. A check against an advance here is found in fact that there ta now tn storage enough oll to meet requirements for six months. At this time’a year ago f the daily output of crude was 1,- 148,000 barre:s, a tittle over § per cent below w! it is now, If that Fate had been maintained, the drop in of] prices would scarcely have oc. curred, but oil booms disrupted the industry. The flush production for the three great California districts, ‘Huntington Beach, Long Beach and ‘Santa Fe Springs, placed a flood of i ,oll_ on the market. This was aug: { smented by the discoveries in the .Smackover and Powell fields. Pro. ductions, In those districts now, is End of Oil Booms Has Helped Price of Crude along at « fairly constant as is the remaining central area. Gulf coast production and the Ark and Louisiana districts in which Smack-over is located are falling off in output, altho there was a trif- ling Increase in Louisiana and Arkansas this week. Increase might Probably come from sutin produc: tion in Calffornta~ outside the so: called Los Angeles pools. Montana and Wyoming have possibilities of greater output and the Oklahoma flow might be augmented, but in seneral there is at present no in- dication of immediate flush produce tion which would | disturb vitally the general rate. It is doubtful if, in view of the developments at Washington, the naval reserve lands in California and Wyoming will be extensively exploited this year, How- ever new operations have been greatly stimulated and drilling in Proven territory can be counted orf to proceed on an extensive scale. Consequently oll producers are beginning to feel that they are “Sit- ting pretty" and will continue to do so until another boom sends them sourrying for tankage facilities gain. There are 25 per cent more gasoline driven vehicles in operation today than @ year ago and more are being turned out at a tremendous rate. This increase 's counted on quickly to eat up.a surplus, Much interest continues to be manifested in the possibility of the adoption of the Bowle-Gavin crack- ing process, developed by interior department engineers at the San Francisco office of the bureau of mines, to the simultaneous recovery and cracking of ofl from of] soaked sinds'and shales. A number of people having interests in the oll- soaked sand deposits of California or Canaéa have called at the San Francisco office: to look the plant over and discuss its operation. Should the flush production in Cal- ifornia and elsewhere decline, as many oil operators believe that it will, 1t is apparent that much Inter- est will again be taken in the pos sibilities of marketing otis that may be extracted from such deposits. A report on the revitalization of inert material from the Bowie-Gavin pro- cess is belng prepared by J. 8.

Woodside Test Resumed. With the hole filled 2,000 feet with water as a check against a large flow of gas containing helium, the Woodside test of the Utah ©! Refining company in Utah, has re- sumed drilling at a depth of about 70 feet. The hole is thought to be on top of the Primo-Carbonifer- ‘Ous series where two sands are ex: Pected to be encountered. Down 500 Feet. ~ Test well on the Fort Collins Structure close to Fort Collins, Colo., being drilled by the Union Oil -of Callfornia is now at a depth of more than 500 feet. Other Petroleum Clubs Buccess has beeh attached ‘to W: oming Petroleum club of Casper and is certain for the newly organized Balt Creek Potroleum club at Salt Creek. The start made by these two groups of oll men should lead to the forming of petrojeum clubs In other parts of the state.

The committees members meeting in Denver were John T. Barnett, president of the Wyoming Asso- elated Oil company; W. T. Funk, of fhe Carter Oil company; 8. H. Keo- ghan, president of the Mutual Oil company; George L. Ferguson, of the Marine Oil vompany; M. J. Fo: ley, of the Staley syndicate, and James P. Kem, of the Wolverine Oil company. such organizations could. be well carried on due to the development of the Industry in these regions. It is certain that much of the benefit from such a general spread of clubs ng | would be derived by, oil operators all over Wyoming. Hatfield Gas Contracted Production of gas from the Bight Mile Lake structure near Rawlins which is being tested by the Hat- field Oil company for oll, is to go to the Producers & Refineru at its Par- co refinery. Tae purchase, accord. ing to the contract, is on the basis of 4 cents per thousand cubic feet at the well. The contract is to run for five years beginning June 1 or sooner if the gas line should be completed prior to that date. Money is to be advanced by the P. & R. to the Hat- field Ol company to be used in con- Unuing development work and to be repaid out of production. In case oll should be discovered the P. & R. is given the option of purchasing same for a period of five years, but in case this company does not purchase the entire ovtput the Hatfield company is permitted to sell the remainder to other par ties. President Hatfield nas decided that it Will be economy to close down for a month and as a result of this decision there will be no afilling until early in March. —_ Flax DULUTH, Min: flax: Februrry 2.

Early Display of Strength CHICAGO, Feb. 5—Fresh upturns on the wheat market today estab- Mshed new high price records for the season. Higher quotations at Liverpool stimulated buying «and there was nearly complete lack of selling pressure. Continued reduction of the visible supply together with prospective curtailment of spring wheat acreage counted in favor of the bulla. The opening which ranged from \ to “oc higher, May $1.12% to $1.13 “and July $1.12 to $1.12% was followed by moderate further gains. Considerable buying of future de liveries hereon foreign account took place, It was pointed out that within a month Liverpool March Wheat has gained about 9% cents @s against about 5% gain at Chicago Profit taking sales in the late deal- ings here, however, eased the mar- ket. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterday's finish to ‘eo higher, May $1.12% to $1.124%@ %, and July $1.11% to $1.11% Corn, Uke wheat, advanced to the highest prices yet this season Rough weather likely to delay the crop movement and to Increast demand from feeders had much to do with strengthening the market. After opening % to %o higher, May 80% to 80%¢, the market soared to 81%c for May. Subsequently, with July oats touching a new high record for the season, the corn market continued to hold gains well, notwithstanding corn prices were in new high ground for all deliveries. Corn fin- isbed steady at % to1 net advance, May 814% @% to 81%c.

B—-(By The Asso- ciated Press)}—The chaotic political conditions which prevail in China at Present have resulted in a wave of crime in Hong Kong, according to Sir Reginald E.

She brought to her task for the distinguished Invalid who was her husband an unusual degree of skill because, as, she told ‘her Intimate grandmother, whose eag- erness for news of the outside World was unusually keen. To testify that craving, she learned and with ad- mirable miniory the conversations of grown ups in whose company she had been, The radio and the newspapers kept Mr. Wilson ecquainted with World affairs an¢d a few close friends were allowed to see him oceasionally but he enjoyed most of all the stories Mrs. Wilson brought him of events and people in Washington. Particularly was he Interested in the affairs of the Democratic na- tional convention women who were in the captial recently, Mrs. Wilson attended several dinners of the women politicians, and list- ened intently to all that was said —partieulariy to the funny stories. These she reported to Mr. Wil- son who laughed heartedly over some of them. One of the stories she related concerned himself. It was told by Mrs. MacDougall of Oklahoma. It was @ war time story of a little boy who had heard much discus- sion of the president. Finally he demanded of his mother: “When God gots to sleep, does President Wilson rule the world?’ At the close of one of the din- ners, Mrs. Nonie Boren Mahoney, committee woman from ‘Texas, Proposed a toast to the war pres{- dent, with a wish fer his health and the guests drank in stlence. “T know all of us wish we could break our glasses after that toast to our great president,” Emily Newell Blair.
