During tbe past lew days reports have
been current tbat tbe different pipe lines
throughout the district bave run 'short.'
he natural Inquiry bas been, bow is It
that such should be tbe case when but a
week or two ago their tanks wero overflow

tbat tbe Pennsylvania Transportation Com

that but a few dais sine the rrfiacrs boast
ed of bsving enough oil on band to carry
them for six months? It appears to us like
a revelation, tbe opening ot a enaled book.
The reported shorts' of tbe Aatwerp aud

partly correct. Now what Is tbe fleet up
on the producer? Let us Icok at It.

worth nothing, the pipo line has oo oil,
