One Firm Increases Price Gasoline supply In the Portland district has reached its lowest ebb and the precious fuel for automo biles will be very scarce during the remainder of , the week. Beginning Monday the supply will be more ade quate and probably become more available as the season advances. This statement of conditions, as they concern Portland, was made by a local gasoline supply company official Tues day morning. The reason given for the low ebb In supply this week was that unprecedented demand ' caused most of the companies to oversell their July sup ply and Monday will bring on the Aug ust supply. Standard. Associated and Shell ' sta tions are remaining open at least a por tion of each day: while the Union com pany will continue through the week, at least, its plan of selling only to com mercial cars. ' An official of the Union Oil company announced this morning that an Increase In the price of gasoline of from 1 to 1 cents per gallon would likely come with in a few days, but that a larger increase would not be justified. The Shell company raised Its price from 27 to 30 j cents g gallon, but has made no statement of the cause. Speaking of the rise in price of gasoline-made effective by the Shell com pany, an official of the company said; "It Is really impossible for us to say what the reason is, the order came from San Francisco and we followed orders." The Shell official said that he did not believe any of the local men knew the reason for the rise, and while he was not sure he believed the increase was general along the-entire coast. - A Union Oil company official said that the predicted Increase would be due to the fact that marketing companies are now buying outside supplies from inde pendent companies in Mexico and Texas in an effort to relieve the shortage of their own supply. This gasoline is high er priced-and the increase will be scat tered all over the nation to offset the extra cost of placing the supply on the market- The Standard company is still selling at 25 cents a gallon, but it is predicted it will increase Its price within a few days. The Associated company is still selling at 27 cents and officials announce that no further rise is in sight. MAYOR TO HONOR FREIGHT . TRAIN BRINGING GASOLINE Los Angeles, July 27. (I. N. S.) Mayor M.
