month of February to intervene before the busi mess will square away toward Spring demand the showing made so far is considered "bullish" to a large degree With a Winter demand then meeting the full expectations of the oil administration and with daily reports of record business from automokile factories auguring well for next "''usimer's demand not a few oil men are allowing themselves to look
