RPT-NYMEX-Crude ends up, above $74 on OPEC view, dollar

(Repeats, deletes CORRECTED from headline)

* Dollar hits 2009 low against currency basket, euro

* OPEC sees stronger world oil demand next year

* Heating oil up on demand forecast, cooler temperatures

NEW YORK, Oct 13 (Reuters) - U.S. crude oil futures ended
higher for the fourth straight day on Tuesday, as a brighter
demand forecast from OPEC and a weakened dollar supported the
market.

The front-month November contract, which hit a seven-week
high, now faces resistance at $75 a barrel, the year's intraday
peak hit on Aug. 25, traders said.

Heating oil futures also ended up for the fourth day in a
row, climbing to a seven-week peak amid cooler temperatures and
a forecast for higher heating oil demand this week.

"A declining dollar is certainly supportive, but with
temperatures falling into the 30s in New York, by the weekend,
it is understandable why heating oil is the leader today," Mike
Fitzpatrick, vice president at MF Global in New York, said in a
note.

Gasoline futures ended higher for a second day running,
helped by news of a fire at Total Petrochemical's (TOTF.PA)
refinery in Port Arthur, Texas, which the company said had been
put out by midday. [ID:nN13526569]

The U.S. dollar touched a 14-month low against a basket of
currencies as investors refocused on the outlook for U.S.
interest rates. The euro rose to its highest level against the
dollar since late August 2008. [USD/]
