OPEC engages in another round of price hikes Arabia the world's leading oil exporter and producer of one-third of all OPEC oil will lift its price to $32 within several months ALGIERS CAP) The world oil cartel after a bitterly -divisive three-day meeting set in motion today another round of price increases Kuwait and Venezuela quickly announced price increases of II a barrel effective July 1 Sheik Ahmed Zaki Yamani of Saudi Arabia the leading price dove and world's largest oil exporter said the Saudi price may go up $1 or $2 but the world oil glut probably will rule that out for the moment Venezuela provides Canada with about one-third of the imported oil used in Eastern Canada The 13-member Organization of Petroleum Exporting countries set a reference or benchmark price of $32 US (about $3650 Canadian) a 37-gallon barrel about halfway between Saudi $28 and Iran's $35 OPEC also fixed a ceiling of $37 a barrel which will prevent hawks Algeria Nigeria and Libya from making large price increases in a new round of alike' FAVOR OUTPUT Cl'T Many OPEC members argue production must be reduced to eliminate the current world oil glut and prevent another A production cut would help support high prices charged by Iran and other OPEC hawks The Saudis appeared to have successfully resisted demands they cut their daily 95 million barrels production by one million The desert kingdom increased production as did Iraq to offset the shortfall in oil supplies following the Iranian revolution Saudi Oil Minister Sheikh Ahmed Zaki Yamani who has predicted oil prices will decrease

marker crude up to a ceiling of $32 per barrel That the value differentials which would be added over and above the said ceiling of the murker crude price level of $32 on account of quality and geographical location should not exceed in any case $5 per barrel This price structure will be applicable as of July 1 1980 to be reviewed in the tripartite meeting to take place next autumn objective of this new price structure aims at achieving an equilibrium between supply and demand in order to avoid further stockpiling which is harmful to producers and consumers But the "compromise" agreement was mostly for public consumption because individual members may wait as long as they like before putting their prices in line with the new benchmark Under the accord middle-priced countries led by Iraq and including Kuwait and Venezuela are to raise current prices about $30 a barrel by $2 But prices at the lower and upper ends of the spectrum will remain unchanged at least for now PREDICT INCREASE Saudi Arabia for one said it will not raise prices at this time although conference sources said a Saudi increase will come in the next few months Iran which sells oil virtually identical to that of Saudi Arabia and Iraq said it will not decrease the cost of oil As a result OPEC prices will remain disunited as they have been since early 1979 During five sessions the conference bounced
