The Butler Herald has the following SEN
sible article on the present situation of the
oil business ct present:
Our readers are aware that We 10 form.
er article referred to the absurd argumen
used BY mouopolists that the low price o
oil was because of over produotion-that
the eastern cities bad more thA was want
ed-that refiners wete, overlooked and thai
10 the European market It was drug. We
then stated that It seemed exceedingly
strange oil merchants 10 New York would
charter forty ships Ia order TO take oil "a
Antwerp and other European places When
1t was drug there, yet such wss the fec. i.
We argued there " 40 specu lalion 10 the
matter sod that time would tell It, BY ref.
erence to the market price for oil in Anti
werp we find the price has advanced from
37Is francs to 40 francs, and this too in
place OF the arrival of forty ships filled wi Il
oil! How strange! Before the forty sbips
started for Europe OIL was drug. Ate,
their arrival into this overlooked msrke
the price advanced ~ francs! Wbo among
the wise spsculators 10 oil can give us .
reasonable solution Of this mystery 10 COM
mercs and trade? But what commercial,
law has the fact been established that a
material addition OF any article to an si/
ready overstocked msrket will enhance the
price? We want just such law to operate
out here IL the oil producing territories.
We have as some say, sn overstocksd mar,
kst-more oil than there 10 demand for, and
II there 10 wise economist 10 all the land
who can demonstrate the problem, that a
super-aoundauce Of any article increase the
price, lot him come here at once. This I,
The place for him TO make q fortune.
The truth is the monopolists control the
whole oil trade. They hold in their hands
