Eastern Oil Price Cut a Severe Shod: Tlio cut In tho price I eastern oil of GO cents for 1'cnnnylvanln Kiatlc, nnd 2D cents for Kentucky or Homcrm't, came, an ii mivcro hock to the oil men und reflncm )estorday, iih at beat It vus a Jolt that tlio IjubIiiohs cannot recover from until a contrary market with a !opi"t In price far In excess of jCBtcrOay'n cut aliould occur. U was nbnolutely unforacen, n ftlm any point of view It wus cloar 1 a matter of Rood business tense that tho iiloo May ns It lins been for tho fast two or throo months, but tt would appear that tho bin banking concerns who nro loaning money to Ktoro oil had been peruslne JtoEcr Ilabson's direful prcillctlotiH. In regard to nil, and moro than that, had been guided lurgcly by what he had predicted.' It was a cold blooded thrust ut a btislnoss which Mr. Ilabson ought to know Is mighty easily Influenced ono way or tho other, and Inas much as h.'s predictions, when he Renerall7.es, have been wonderfully accurate, tho .affect wan doubtless great and yet Mr. Habson was wrong, Thoro aro always spurts In the production of oil with wells coming In In all directions, nnd then a calu comes an equal period of dry holes and failures everywhere, nnd the entire country that Is now pro ilUcIti c oil Is mighty smnll us com tjkred with the demand and the crowing consumption. This prediction was printed In Sunday's World, nnd tho man whj does not think that It lint an cf'fct when sent broadcast over tho coun try, Is mistaken. Mr. Ilabson has even predicted tho weather and got an ay with It, and has built up n imputation us a prophet such as never waH known In the entire his tory of tho qountry. The psycho logical effect among tho banking In terests who In the last analysis con trol tho business, wns Instuncous, and theso peoplo have Immediately demanded n cut In tho prlco of crude, without taking Into account the fact thnt tho oil now In storage has cost, during the last few months, si a barrel In tho Mid-Continent field, and the storm . itself has but a negative valuo wncn once It la emptied, Mr. Babson docs not know that the psychological effect so far as tlio oil producer Is concerned, will be to tighten up tho drilling opera tion.", and should theru be a shut down similar to that which pre vailed during tho summer months, there would be nnother howl tor moro oil, and It would require n lot of explanation to show where tho fault lies and who Is to blame for theso tremendous changes In price, which coming ns they do, nro absolutely criminal and a disgrace to a civilized business world. No other business men engaged In producing a stable product would stand for it for a minute, and the only good thing about It Js that there has been no great boom, nor hae tho good peoplu of the oil country made the mistake of going crazy over tlio prospects for tho future, but on the other hand the two or threo new pools which have been uncovered recently havo been of a freakish nature, to say tlio least, and muy go up sky high at any minute. It would look- us tnnugn tlio time to get oil wns while the getting was good. At every other tlmo of a flush roductlon It has been proven that y'ver has there boon too much oil stored away for' future use, but al ways tho rumo old story, and thnt Ii, "why was tho opportunity let blip?"

The Steel Industry ao Related to the Oil. Buslne88 (V, J. darr'od, Purchasing Agent lor ll. Wilcox oil & (Jaa CO.) "Tho past fow days tho steel and plglron market has evidenced a de pressing condition due in part to the usual Inventory situation that pre vails at tne close ot tne year, and also for another reason that buyers are still reluctant to commit them selves at a timo when many ot the prices are unfair nnd also for tho expected reductions duo to lower la bor and transportation costs. 'Tho recent decline In most prod ucts and in pipe aro movements in tho right diroctton. Tho, present or ices of nine will undoubtedly hold good for a while but hs a matter ot fact they are 70 per cent or more hlghor than prices prevailing In 1914-1915. whereas tho Drlccs of common steel, such as bars, plates and structural steel have declined to n point only nbout 30 per cent higher than the pre-war period. It is quite evident therefore that the prlco of plpo is still out or lino nnd lugncr In proportion to other steel prices, and even though future reductions In labor nnd transportation develop, consumer have a Just reason to de mand Immediate reductions. The entire steel market Is not brisk. Sev eral mills are offering lower prices for Immediate business, "It will necessarily follow that much labor ot various types enter ing Into tho bnstc mnterinls nnd production of sterl, ns woll as trans portation rates.

"The efforts of the labor leaders and the railroad labor organizations to resist wage reductions must be defeated, If we nro all to enjoy reas onable prosperity. As a peoplo wo cannot prosper with organized mi norities exacting tribute for sup plies and freight. "It Is not perhaps very well un derstood that tho recent reductions in automobiles were largely prompt ed by tho activity ot the Germans in this class of manufacture.
