Crude Oil Production
Drops Moderately
For Week
Oklahoma Accounts
For Greatest Part
Of Reduction
Bt the Anocleted Preu.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—Crude oil *
production declined moderately dur
ing the week ended December 3, the
American Petroleum Institute re
ported today. *
The' crude flow dipped 37,250 bar
rels daily to 3,223,650 barrels, well
under the 3,387,000 barrels turned
out in the like week a year ago.
Oklahoma accounted for most of ,
the reduction. California and Kansas
were also in the minus column. Texas
and Louisiana, on the other hand,
produced more crude oil.
Refinery operations dropped to 79 *
per cent of capacity from 82 per
cent the week before, runs to stills
slipping 120,000 barrels daily to
3.175.000 barrels; approximately'un
changed from last year.
Finished and unfinished gasoline
stocks continued to expand, rising
419.000 barrels to 69,155,000 barrels.
The total was, however, substantially
under 1937.
Gasoline production fell off to
9.658.000 barrels daily from 9,772.000
barrels the week before. Imports
of crude and refined oil totaled
1.180.000 barrels, against 934,000
barrels.
Cut in Production
Of Copper
Is Ordered
bj the Associated Press.
LONDON, Dec. 7.—The Interna
tional Copper Committee today or
dered production cut to 100 per
cent of basic tonnages by January 1.
A restriction to 105 per cent will
be made effective December 15. At
present the quota is 110 per cent,
effective January 1, with output
on an unrestricted basis until that
time.
(In October, when the red metal
was in the best statistical position
for some time from the point of
view of existing stocks and con
sumer demand, the copper cartel
removed all restrictions on output
then established the 110 per cent
base as of January l. in the mean
time recurrence of political trouble'
in Europe and a slackening demand
restrained copper buying and pointed
to a possible glut in th| market
Tne cartel regulates production
abroad, but not in the United
States.!
