Page 8 ENTERPRISE, Saranac Lake, NY Gasoline prices rise again ALBANY, N.Y.(UPI) — Gasoline prices rose in the last week of August for a second consecutive week, but the state Energy Office says the market forces that drove the prices up may have leveled off. The rise was attributed to speculative buying of crude oil on Wall Street, where investors wanted to get into the market before petroleum prices rose as a result of a production cutback by the Organization of Petroleum Expor- ting Countries, William Cotter, the state energy commissioner, said Thursday, However, Cotter said speculative buying appears .to have ended, and investors ace taking a \wail-and- see\ attitude. Gasoline prices rose for two consecutive weeks after dropping for the eight previous weeks. OPEC ministers, after months of bickering, agreed to cut back crude oil production by 17 percent, effective Sept. 1. Disagreement among the ministers had led to competitive price undercutting, resulting in lower prices at the pumps. If that agreement collapses, prices will drop again as they did throughout the summer, Cotter-said. \Most of us think it will collapse,\ 1 he said. Cotter said he believes investors have ended'their speculative buying because gasoline prices, at un- branded stations fell across the state from 0.6 cents per gallon-to 1.5 cents per gallon. Unbranded stations are usually a barometer of how gasoline prices will move elsewhere, experts said. The weekly survey covered Aug. 22-28 and did not reflect the higher prices for crude oil.

Jewelry artist Paloma Picasso (Spanish) will: show her wares as a grand finale. Producer of the event, Penny Harrison, reports the designers \were very, very receptive to it. We were told by several people in the industry that you'll never get these people to show together. Perhaps at another time, they would not have been as ready to say they were Cuban or Puerto Rican. But today, they are very proud,\ because they see it is important to be a role model to Hispanic youth.\ Proceeds from the shows will help finance grants for students of New York's FIT and other major fashion institutes, and also benefit three Hispanic- American women's groups.
