Stocks on hand at the refineries June 1 amounted to 856,607,102 gallons, which is 35,661,000 gallons below the record flgure of 892,267.766 gallons attained at Iihe beginning of May. The fact that, {the billion-gallon mark, forecasted in | some quarters, was not reached, seems | due to the tremendous increase in do- | mestic_consumption of gasoline, which | amounted to 499.242.343 gallons in May. This flgure represents an increase in | domestic consumption of gasoline of 113,000.000 gallons over the month of April and 145.000.000 gallons over the month of May, 1921. Production of _gasoline in May amounted to 513.€58,966 galions. an in- crease of 41.000,000 gallons over the month of April. The sharp increase in_gasoline consumption, however, was sufficient to offset the increased pro- duction and to inaugurate the seasonal decline in stocks a month earlier than it usually occurs.
