Texas Oil Is of a High Grade.

Tests made in refining Texas crude oil at the Standard Oil refinery at Lima, Ohio, show the product of the Beaumont field to be of much better grade than heretofore estimated. That the oil market must in the future reckon with the Beaumont output as a factor is now coming to be recognized. The recent decline in both the Pennsylvania and Lima markets is attributed to the strike in the Beaumont field.
