ROYLE 1924, Casper Tribune) RK, Dec. 24.—The cheers which the ofl men of the greet 1925 seem destined in volumes and enthusiasm, ssitting ng to the district which they come. ‘remendous storage Stocks still continue to blanket . 4s not falling off to amy material extent. Nevert less men in some sections are thor- ty hopeful for the future. This of thought is most noticeab.o n tidewater while pesrimia.. prevails in a good many sections in the Interior. Of men are rather curious to see what measures tho new ot! con- discourage over-pro- duction and high prices in the fu- ture, since the oil industry iteclt has . As to the statistical position pro- @uction hag fallen s'ightly below that of 1923 a banner year, but only by about one per cent or 7 milion Gasoline production is 20 per cent ahead of Decem- 1923 but consumption of gas = i@ more than accounting for In increase. the east, especially in Penn- and on the Pacific coast, men are hopeful. They regard oil as @ saving factor in the sit- uation and declare the use of this Preduct is only in its infancy, that om burners are being improved to an extent: that thousands of new buildings shortly will bo heated by this fuel and that its use will tend to curtail cracking for gaso- Vine... stocks of the latter im derivate, it is pointed out ek, are nearly .17 million use in this country and there ‘will be 25 million motor registered by 1929. oil prices are firm and con- signed by large shipping United States 1g board for 1925. deliverics have been-made at prices which are advantageous to producers. In fact this trend upward bas restricted use of oll for ship fuel in some instances, i Moore and McCormack have already started to convert six of thelr ships back from oil to coal burners. ‘With coal selling at $4.75 to $5 at Hampton Roads,” said President, A. B. Moore, “it Is not economical to use oil costing more than $1.50 ® barrel and the price on the At- Jantic coast at present is $1.80. Of courre ships in the Intercoastal trade can,still save money by fill- ing their bunkers on the Pacific coast at $1.40 a barrel. It is’ estimated that the change’ back to coal will mean a saving of $75 a day on exch of our ships, even allowing for the increaso in firemen.” In the California fields, there has been a steady decline in oil Production. Discovery of new fields like Dominguez, Rosecrans, and Torrence failed to offeet re- duction in the Santa Fe Springs, Huntington Beach and Long Beach districts, The fact that the drop in output has*not been larger was due to opening of shut-in production in thé Kern river” fields. . This amounted to approximately 100.000 barrels a day. Total production in Colifornia, it is estimated, will reach 280,500,000 barrels by December 31. A'though production fell off, stor-.| age stocks on the Pacific coast in- creased, owing to<alump in ship- ments eastward by the Panama canal. Where *200,000 barrels a day were going eastward last Jan- uary, shipments now are under 100,000 barrels a day. The big oil companies have been carrying on extensive exploration work in several sections of the state, but the Dominguez field if only “flowing about 35,060 barrels daily and Rose- crans and Inglewood are even small- er, the former producing only about 2,000 barrels daty. Recent work in the Kettleman hills has not suf- ficed to determine the value of that afstrict. In Texas, however, the Wortham field and those of Regan county give promise of heavy pro- duction and oll men who have no holdings in the new fields are much discouraged. They felt that the time was about ripe for a rise in mid-continent crude prices but that this had been knocked out by the new additions to production.

By GEORGE T. HUGHES. (Copyright, 1924, by Consdlidatea Press Association.) Review Your Holdings. I want to emphasize again the necessity of a periodical review of afty investor's holdings. A good many people say that they buy stocks dr bonds “to puf away and forget.” Sometimes that may turn out all right but sometimes it dbegn’t. In any casé it !s foolish Ret to take precaution when !t can De done so éasily. ‘This matter was forcefully brought ta my mind by an inquiry I received the ‘oibet day from a woman who held @ few shares of a certain rail- road preferred stock on which she had not been receiving dividends for three or four years. Now it happened that this road has passed into control of a larger system under & lease arfangement and that inter- eat paying certificates had been issued to the holders of the emaller road's preferred stock. This woman had nevér turned in her shares for exchange and so had lost the inter- est on her money. This loss was entirely unnecessary. Any com- Détent banker or trust comm@ny of- ficial could have ascertained the facts by..a.few minutes work and advised her accordingly. ‘Everyman’s Investment This, of course, is an exceptional case but these are plenty of other instances of investors sustaining losses through {gnorance or lack of reliahle guidance. The moral is that no matter how conservative may have been your intentions and how far from your thoughts it may have been to indulge in a speculation it js the prudent course at least once @ year and preferably once every six months to have some one quali. fled for the purpose to examine your Investment list and recommend any advisable changes. ‘ It may be objected that it {s diff’: cult to know what kind of an au: thority to sélect for. such a review of your investments. “It is true tha’ care must be exercised along thir line but people are continually con sulting lawyers on affairs of law and doctors on matters of health and most of, us think we are com: petent to select the right lawyer and the right doctor. The same quall- ties that we look for in our profes sional advisors in law and medicine are the desirable ones to find in an authority on investments, In both cases we want integrity, experience and professional ability. If you will apply the same standards to the selection of an investment advisor as you do in other professions you are not likely to go far wrong. Am. .
