BALTIMORE, February 25:-The Standard
Oilcompany, made swoop upon this city
several years ago and gobb!ed up tho oil re-.
Liayry. business completely, para'yzing one
Of Baltimores most important and lucrative
export trades. The large fleet OF oil yes
sells ceased to visit this port and the nu.
merous Gil wharves fell into disus,, and
were left to rot away, all the trade being
diverted by the Standard 10 New York. or
late strenuous Efforts have been made to
re.cstabish tho refinery business here by
Independent re6ners, in opposition to the
Standard company, and 80 far partial sue
cess has been achieved. A vessel. the first
in years, has been chartered to lopd at Balti-
more in March for Europe, from independ-
ent oil refners. This is expected TO bring
on 2 lively fight between the Standard and
the retiners. The former lave bought all
The oil wharves and refuse to allow the re.
tiucra 10 use them, and the independents
having had the 'refnsai OF about the only
other wharf where tho ship can load, the
Standard people are trying to lease it at II
ridiculous price, aud are using other ham
pesing devices to head eff ,ha translction.
The trouble will likely wind up in the
courts, and as the Standard is heartily dis
liked here, the independent people will
probably be the eventual vic.o,s.
