Crude oil fell more than $4 a barrel in New York after Saudi Arabia's oil minister, Ali al-Naimi, called for a meeting of oil producing and consuming nations to discuss how to deal with record prices.

``The increase in prices isn't justified in terms of market fundamentals,'' the Saudi government said today in a statement distributed by the Saudi Press Agency. Oil climbed $10.75 on June 6, its biggest gain ever, because of a weakening dollar and threats of supply disruptions.
