Until a short time ago the general price of gasoline was 20 cents a gal lon. This wr.s always considered ex cessive, but tne dealers had kept to (Tether on the matter and said that they did not make anything out of their gasoline account, for they had to keep books and really sold for the benefit of tnelr customers.

Then began the system of installing filling stations on the streets, and these companies aid nothing but sell gaso line, with the result that they brought down the price to It cents in. order to get the customers. A rew or tne dealers cut down for a short time to meet them, but did not continue the price for any length of time, with the result that the filling stations could at least keep their prices up to is cents.

Wholesalers' Price lSVfc Cents. The big companies selling whole sale are making sales at 15 Mi cents i gallon to any one who buys a minimum of 60 gallons. To big commercial houses who use gasoline in large quan tities these prices are reduced half a cent, while to the garage men and re tail sellers of gasoline who use still larger quantities, the price is reduced another half cent, though this is mere ly the natural order of business such as prevails in any other line. Any one who bought enough could get the re duction in price.

Is making any reduction at all except on the regula- business scale as settled by the market and by the companies. In other words, all the big oil companies are selling gasoline wholesale at 1544 cents a gallon, with the reductions mentioned above pro rata.
