On Commission Row i! 1 Trading on the wholesole produce market resumed an active tone at the opening of the market today. The continuation of the cool weather after the recent rain will give an even brisker tone to the market than has been evidenced during the past - week, commission men said. Prices held comparatively steady with a rise of 25 cents In the price of some potatoes. ! There Is now an exceptionally good supply of California Tokay grapes on the market. j There is also a limited supply of tmI ported .Spanish Malagas packed in cork in barrels. ' One or two cars of fresh AVashlngton Icebergs came on the market at the opening. • The limited supply of poaches that came o.i the market a few days ago are practically gone—only a few bushel baskets left—and commission men say that they will not be able to get another supply that will have a material effect on the market. ( The slight rise In the price of some crudes of potatoes Is said to be due to a rnmller supply than was anticipated earlier and also to a good demand fol- - lowing the cool weather. TODAY'S PRICES.

COMMENTING upon the rise in the price of gasoline, a man who is unfamiliar with petroleum production writes: “The Lord, who put the oil in the earth, charges no more for it than he ever did. It comes for nothing out of the ground when you dig a hole.’^ This is true, if it comes out of the ground without help. The greatly increased cost lies in digging the hole, casing it, caring for the oil when it comes out, and transporting and handling it on its way to the refinery. Petroleum Age in its September issue says: “The cost of drilling and equipping a well at the present scale of prices for material and labor runs from Five Thousand Dollars for a shallow sand pumper to Seventyfive Thousand Dollars for the deep wells. A general average covering the entire country w'ould run about Twenty Thousand Dollars per well.** One item which is often overlooked is the cost of drilling wells which fail to produce oil. It is estimated that from 20 to 30 percent of all wells put down are dry holes. Yet, in spite of all discouragements, which included shortage of casing, difficulties of transportation, and the increasing expense of labor, on July 31st, 1920, there were eleven thousand wells drilling or underway east of the Rocky Mountains, with completions averaging about three thousand wells a month. Probably thirty-six thousand wells will be completed during 1920. The total expense, including investment in drilling tools, lease equipment and labor, is roughly estimated at one billion dollars. Deducting two hundred fifty million dollars (25 percent) for salvage on equipment susceptible of further use, the net investment in new production for the year will be seven hundred fifty million dollars. It is apparent that oil does not come “for nothing out of the ground.” Oil is usually discovered in spots Vemote from rail centers. The cost of pumping and transporting it to the refinery is a heavy charge. At the refinery charges begin to pile u id, for refining oil is a true manufacturing process involving application of chemistry, the use of specialized machinand human labor. All of these factors add to the cost of a product which Nature has given us. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has been steadfastly applying the trained power of its organization to increasing the yield of gasoline from crude, and in achieving economies bv large stale operations in refining and distributing its products.
