Preparing to Investigate. Both the department of justice and the federal frade commission are pre- paring to investigate gasoline prices. A statement issued by the geological survey estimated the 1915 production of market petroleum at 267,400,000 r;&r‘r-ele. 2,000 barreis more than in 1 % 'Tb!e;’ says the statefnent, does not agres with the curpently motted rea- #an for ‘the exc: igh wle- ng;r prevailing for mr fuel” adds: P Periods. of Md_mlfim.n!. “Ag.a result of the overioad put on the transporting and refining phases of the petroleum industry. by the u- cess output of 1914, the year 1015 be characterized as a period of md justment in which ' activity was pur- Posely retarded as far as oracticable.

A low petroleum price reached in April and until August, the price remained at $1.35 a barrel for the market standard. Then the price began to soar and on December 17 petroleumn was selling at $2.15. In- dications now are, says the statement, that the price will soon reach $2.50 its Previous high record. Big Reserve Stock. One production fact brought out by the survey is that the crude petroleum stocks held in reserve, the largest ever known, increased 50,000,000 barrels in 1915 and at present more than 230,000,- 000 barrels are being held. Field stor- age by producers, accounts for 24,- 000,000 barrels of this. Export Figures. Export figures for the first ten month of 1915 show that gasoline ex: ports dropped far below the same pe- riod in 1914, and slightly below 1913.
