Spring Advance in Crude
Quotations Talked as
Output Climbs.
By the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla., March 26.—The
spirits of oilmen brightened today over
a pick-up in the movement of motor
fuel which had developed into an
eighth of a cent a gallon advance in
the Midwestern tank car price.
Along with the more encouraging
picture of the refining end, talk of a
Spring advance in the price of crude
oil became louder.
The talk was persistent despite the
new high mark in production1 reg
istered for the week.
There was general approbation of
Texas’ decision to cut the April al
lowable better than 50,000 barrels
daily under the March figure.
Some concern remained over the
labor situation, with the C. I. O.
and the A. P. L. engaged in a cam
paign of organization in the in
dustry. Hints were heard that some
companies might be increasing their
refined stocks to aseure a reserve in
case of a shutdown.
The pick-up in gasoline consump
tion ied one authority to forecast a
9 per cent increase in consumption
this year as compared to last.
Oklahoma operators were excited
over the first major strike of the year
in the Langston field of Eastern
Logan County. There the Eason Oil
Co. et al. No. 1 Smith flowed 2,786
barrels in eight hours through casing.
In West Texas some wells consid
ered big even for that State of heavy
production were completed in Crane,
Ector, Ward and Winkler Counties.
The Permian Basin added 30 new wells
to the week's total completions com
puted by the Oil and Gas Journal at
524 for the Nation, 44 less than the
week before.

Wood Discounts
Fears of Drastic
Inflation in U. S.
BT the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. March 25.—Robert E.
Wood, president of Sears, Roebuck &
Co., said yesterday he has no fear of
drastic inflation in this country.
"A rise in prices is not important
as long as a balance is maintained
between prices and farm and urban
Incomes,” he said.
Wood’s statements were made in a
press conference at which he dis
closed the big mail order and retail
sales organization had the largest net
profit and gross sales in its history
in the fiscal year which ended Janu
ary 31., Wood said that with the in
creased purchasing power in the
United States, it is believed that sales
and profits will continue to rise in
1937.
He said he expected earnings of in
dustrial workers this year will in
crease more rapidly than farmers' in
come, reversing the recent trend.

Gain Over Previous Year
Extended Despite Sag
From Week Ago.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 25 —Although
bank clearings In the United States
declined from the high amount in the
preceding period, the aggregate was
extended further above that of a
year ago.
The total for 22 leading cities, as re
ported to Dun & Bradstreet, for the
week ended March 24, was *6,889,833,
000, against *5,372,442,000 in the cor
responding 1936 week, an increase of
28.2 per cent. This contrasted with
a percentage gain of 2.1 in a similar
comparison a week earlier.
New York City clearings at *4,475,
372,000 were 24.0 per cent in excess of
the *3,610,120,000 recorded last year.
At outside centers the total rose to
*2,414,461,000, or a percentage in
crease of 37.0, when compared with
the *1,762,322,000 in the comparative
1936 week.
Every city registered increases over
last year’s figures. At Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Portland,
Oreg., there were gains of over 50 per
cent. Part of the increase at Pitts
burgh was due to the fact that at this
time a year ago, flood conditions at
that city seriously handicapped busi
ness activity.
Clearings for the past week showed
a loss of *486,365,000, when compared
with the figures for the preceding pe
riod. Between the two similar weeks
of 1936 there was a reduction of
