CRUDE OIL GOBS
NEAR 1918 PRIOE
f       —_
ROBINSON, June 28—The very discouraging and depressing an¬ nouncement was made this morning that crude oil had taken anotber slump of 25 cents the harrell. This makes the ninth cut for that amount since crude was put oh the toboggan a few weeks ago. This makes a total cut of $2.50 the barrel during the period, and now leaves Illinois crude at $1.27.
It is an evident fact that many properties in this field where the production is light will not be able to make any profit at present prices. Bome of them wlll operate at a loss, and in all probability many light wells will be pulled out.
On October 23 1916 Illinois crude stood at $1.26, Us present price.
