WHAT THE STANDARD SAYS.
Its Officers Make Many Admissions and Tai
of Extension of Territory,

Its Odicers Make Many Admissions and Talk
of Extension of Territory.
Several Standard representatives in New
York have been interviewed in regard to the
operations in Ohio. Mr.. j. D. Archibald,
President of the Acme Oil Company, No. 26
Broadway, who is closely allied with the
Standard, said:
The Standard Oil Company has never enter
tanned any idea of abandoning Pennsylvania
for Ohio; it has acquired territory in Ohio with
a view to supply certain trade which requires
an oil inferior to the Pennsylvania grade and
consequently cheaper.
Mr.. S. @. Brown, of the Tidewater Oil
Company, which is also large consumer of
Pennsylvania oil, said, when asked about
the alleged move of the Standard:
The Standard Oil Company is simply extend
ing its territory, not only in Ohio, but also in
Pennsylvania. Their company will at no time
desert Pennsylvania fields. The Pennsylvania
oil is far superior to any that can be had else
where. 1t is always in demand. There is also
demand for an inferior grade; in order to
supply this demand additional facilities have
had TO be acquired, hence this story about the
Ohio fields. Lima oil is and always will be at A
disadvantage compared with PENNSYLVANIA
You cannot make, SO far as known, a frst-class
oil of it.
Mr.. George II. Lincoln, the petroleum
broker at % Beaver street, who represents
large interests, was sounded on the subject
He said:
1t is quite true that the Standard Oil Comma
ny has acquired and continues to acquire terri
tory in Ohio. This is because of purely busi-
ness reasons. They have a demand for a certain
grade Of oil which they cannot supply from
Pennsylvania. 1t is inferior in quality, there
fore cheaper. A customer comes to them for
it. He win not use it unless he can be supplied
for some time at gwen price. He wants
oor1x nf In nrGa 20 n,orr,
tractthe Standard must have the ability to
meet il. Unless they own the producing faciIi-
ties they cannot regulate the price of the oil:
they cannot make contracts; hence this invasion
into Ohio.
As 30 leaving Pennsylvania, that Is what is
called fake" Instead of doing So they are
extending their interests in that State, and it Is
their policy to contiue such extension. The
extension Of the Standards refining property
at Lima is contemplated, but no plans have vet
been followed about it; therefore, the story
that the company have their sleeves rolled up
and are working night and day, while the
sweat rolls down in bucketfuls in order to in

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCHl
CLEVELAND, April 20.-It has leaked
out here on what is considered likely
authority that what may be called the pre-
mature publication of the great Standard
oil deal, wherein they appear to have prac-
tically abandoned the Pennsylvania fields
for those of Ohio, not only interfered to a
greater or less extent with the capture of
Ohio oil territory, but really disarranged a
very important part of their programme, and
while cutting off a large share of their
profits saved the speculative public an equal
amount.
1t has been said that never since the days
of Croesus has such commercial romance
been planned, much less written on the
pages of history, and the assertion is proba-
bly, true, for it involved not only the acquire
ment of the 10, ,000, 600 barrels of Ohio oil at
a ridiculously low figure of 10 cents barrel,
but also of the territory whence it was OBJ
tanned at nominal prices, with all its known
resources and enormous unknown resources
in reserve, practically without the tieing
up of any capital. In other words, the
profit represented by the IL, 600, 900 barrels
of oil will pay for all the investments they
have made, and even enrich their treasury.
To the ordinary mind the securing of
such quantity of oil at less than half its
intrinsic value would seem to be a sufi-
GENTLY enormous achievement, for the
golden eggs of unknown value with part of
the profits quietly purchased the goose that
laid them, and now comes dame gossip with
a report that it was part of the original
plan to captthe climax by unfolding the
great transaction to the public by means of
great bear movement on all the specula-
tive oil markets. 1t is said the plan was to
put up as great lines of shorts as possible,
and when that was accomplished, grad
ually unfold to the over-confdent bulls
the true state of affairs as expressed in the
dispatches of the past week. This would
have been the easiest part of the whole pro-
gramme to execute, for the bulls were bank
ing on the small supply of oil in sight and
the declining production, and accepting as
true the fuel oil story.
OF course there is no knowing what ruin
this move would have wrought, but it would
have probably been executed on a scale in
keeping with the balance of the transaction
and the speculative public may we'll con-
gratulate The DISPATCH upon the feat of
laying before them the facts at such
a timely date. 1t is said that the selling
movement inaugurated last Tuesday, when
the market weakened for the first time in
months, was the Inauguration of the closing
chapter of the otherwise wholly successful
romance.

We give this morning general review of
the oil situation as affected by the Standard
operators in the Ohio field. From this it
would appear that Pennsylvania producers
need not be greatly alarmed. The price of
their product is not likely to be immedi-,
ately deprecated, although it is probable
that in the near future Lima oil will be the
basis of value for all classes of petroleum.

product at price commensurate with the
intrinsic value as compared with Lima oil.
should not be surprised to see Ohio oil
supersede Pennsylvania oil as q basis of
value, however, for it must be remembered
that the Standards interests are hereafter
centered in Ohio oil by reason of owning its
own production, which it will naturally
wish to utilize to the best possible advan--
tage. Such being the case, the question OF
taking care of the Pennsylvania product
would seem to be an after-consideration with
the price largely dependent upon how
cheaply they can buy it without developing
competition. 1 would not be surprised to
see the price of Pennsylvania oil reduced to
about discouraging cost basis, and in due
course of time to see the Standard buying
out the discouraged producers just as they
have here. As to the price of Lima oil
believe it will be advanced.
h One of the favorite pastimes of the Standard
is squeezing of independent refners. There
are of these, the Eagle Consolidated Com
pany here, the Peerless Refining Company
at Findlay, which is enlarging, and a new
refinery at Toledo just completed, and three
or four projected and one OF two under way
here.
WHAT THE STANDARD WANTS.
They are building air castles on basis
of Is cent oil. Since the Standard owns
nearly all the production, how easy it would
be for them to pay the few outsiders who
supply the Independent refners say 30 or 40
cents for their oil until the independent re-
finers were destroyed, and then turn on the
independent producer after having destroyed
his market
Colonel Hawkins, an old Pennsylvania oil
man, expressed the whole situation when he
fc 10 for 70 STAN
dard to grasp or too high for them to reach.
Whoever considers the subject must not
loose sight of the fact that the Standard
controls the market, and hence that the
effect on Pennsylvania oil will be about as
the Standard wants it. The chief question,
therefore, is as to their wishes, and in solv-
ing this problem it will be necessary to
look long way ahead. The newspaper re-
ports of an advance in the price of the Lima
oil are, of course, false. The Standard is
still buying leases and territory, and no ad-
vance can be reasonably expected in the
near future.
THE SECRET OUT.
Providence seems to have come to the
rescue and let out the Standard Oil Com
pany's well guarded secret. The evening
papers contain accounts of the collapsing
of $4,000 barrel tank of refined petroleum
just west of the Standards refinery here at
o'clock to-day. The oil filled the embank-
ment with which all such tanks are sur
rounded, but instead of saving it, a force
was at once set to work cutting a ditch
through the embankmeut, by means of
which it was quickly drained into the river.
1t seems to have been an imperative neces-
sity that the stuff disappear as quickly as
possible.
Standard men tonight deny that it was
refined. The public can consider the cir
cumstances and draw their own conclusions.
