Note.—In the above tables the quotations down to 1890, inclusive, are noted in cents and fractional parts of a cent; from 1891 to 1903 the prices are given in cents and decimal parts of a cent, i.e., 7.42 signifies seven and forty-two hundredths cents, and 9⅜ means nine and three eighths cents per gallon. The above are New York quotations in barrels; bulk oil is generally 2.50c. below these prices. Philadelphia and Baltimore quotations are five points below New York; for instance, if New York price was 5.75c., the Philadelphia and Baltimore price would be 5.70 c.
