He favors monthly revisions and basing differences on current commercial values with adjustments for Southern markets and delivery grades focusing on middling as the basis grade.

Petroleum fields spark interest in Ohio and nearby districts
The Clinton lime development in Southeastern Ohio tops activity in the lower southwest district with a test on the Edward Stevenson farm yielding over 90 barrels on day one. No. 7 on the D. Morgan farm produced 15 barrels per hour on first Gordon pay, while Follawsbee tests continue despite prior failures. Operators remain cautious, weather improves, and teams pursue new pools in Jackson, Calhoun, and Roane counties. Holiday's Cove in Brook County remains the leading producer as spring weather boosts Crawford County Illinois activity and new wells.
