NEW YORK, July 14.—Rubbers, minings, the independent ofls and pub+ lic utilities absorbed speculative in- terest in the day's operations.

Phone Main 1282, GRUDE OIL OUTLOOK NOTED WITH ALARM Expert Says Consumption and Imports Exceed Pro- duction and Exports. Foreseeing an “alarming”. situation Wwith regard to comparative produc- tion and consumption of petroleum ig the United States before the end of the present year, J. A. Phelan, oil ex- pert for the Shipping Board, declared in a statement yesterday that consump- tion and imports of petroleum for this country during 19 for the first time, will exceed production and exports. This means that some ofl will be taken out of storage, and, unless some large new fields are discovered, the supply of ofl in storage will be gradually diminished. Even though Mr Phelan sees a total production for 1925 of more than 730,- 000,000 barrels of petroleum, in excess of the record production of 1923, the record for the fif'st six months of 18: shows an alarming increase in the consumption of by-products of petro- leum. Gasoline consumption will run at least per cent more than the corresponding months of the previous vear, while the average increase in use of other byw.products will be in 8 of 12 per cent over the same od last year U. S. Still Heads List. From a world standpoint, Mr. Phe- lan said, the United States still stands out as the great ofl-producing coun- try, and were it not for the fact that our consumption is increasing at a tremendous pace, with new uses be- | ing found for crude oll and its by- produéts, there should be no serious cause for alarm. The consumption feature is causing the uneasiness among_observers at present. At the present rate of increase in consumption, at least 1,000,000,000 barrels of ofl will be needed to supply the United States in 1827, a produc: tion which even the most optimistic oll man cannot figure on, Mr. Phelan sald All over the world, he added, the returns indicate decreased oil produc tion with a graduai and steady decline in the production of the high-grade and diminution in the low-grad over field of Arkansas M nd South American production is diminfshing, although Russian and Persian production holds up well Supply on Hand July 1. Sxclusive of the refined products in storag Mr. Phelan said, there was about 165 d supply of ofl on hand on July 1. This should not be viewed from a pessimistic viewpoint by con sumers of by-products of crude petrol eum, for, he added, there is enough | pro- territory oin the United | States to warrant a drilling campaign of two years to result in increased production_sufficient to forestall an ofl panic.

Phone M: Action of Money Rates Big Puzzle To Wall Street By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 14.—One of the most absorbing topics in Wall street at present is the question of whether money rates have defl- ritely turned upward. While a stiffening tendency invariably sets in during the late Summer and early Fall as surplus funds flow to the interior to finance the harvest- ing of crops, some bankers belleve it still is a little early for this movement. High money rates are ordinarily wegarded as bullish on business, but they frequently have a restraining effect on speculative operations in the stock market and are a reac- tionary influence on the prices of bonds, particularly of high-grade issues on a low-yleld basis. 510,000,000 JUNP IN PHONE INCOME American Tel. & Tel.

Syllables ending in “ng” are the most difficult for human ears to grasp, while those with “s,” “w" and ‘Y’ apparently are the easiest. These conclusions have been reached through recent sclentific investiga- tions, says the Popular Sclence Magazine. In tests with a large audience in an acoustically poor auditorium only 48 per cent caught sounds such as “ting” and “bong,” while 90 per cent to 100 per cent were right on sounds like “wis” and “yox."
