It is also expected that a pipeline running through the mid-west that had been closed for repairs will soon be ready to reopen. The benchmark crude for October delivery was down $1.11 at $75.69 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract lost 39 cents to settle at $76.80 on Tuesday.
