high grade crude oil has been re-
duced from $1.75 to $1.50 per bar-
rel by some of the leading pipe line
companies. Among the companies
announcing the reduction in prices
were the Prairie Oil aod Gas Com-
pany and the Sinclair Company.
While other companies have as y«»t
announced the reduction^ - it. is gen-
erally believed that the new low price
will be met by all the principal pur-
chasing companies.
This reduction to $1.50 puts crude
oil at a pew low rate for tne current
price movement. A year ago the
same grade of oil was selling at
$3.50 per barrel.
The cut here comes somewhat as
a disappointment to operators, who
had been anticipating a raise in the
price .qf crude since Pennsylvania
and other Eastern grades of oil had
started on the upgrade. Some opera-
tors, however, expressed the opinion
last week that the bottom had not
been reached in the Mid-Continent
district._____ ________ — ---------
