While there has been no material relief from any of the conditions which brought about the rise in the price of petroleum products, the Standard Oil Company, N. J., believ es that the process of readjustment now under way in the business world must eventually contribute to lower costs of producing and refining' oil. To date there has been no lowering of labor costs nor crude oil prices, nor recession in the demand for gas oline. Reductions which have al ready taken place in many of the principal items entering into the cost of living have for the most part not reached the ultimate consumer, but it is inevitable that before long lower prices will be brought about by new quotations now prevailing in primary markets. The Standard Oil Company (N. J.) believes that this movement towards a restoration of what are popularly considered nor mal prices should be aided by the oil industry. For a Disordered Stomach.
