The quotation for Standard Oil

Inc QUOTATION IOI OLauuaIo VII
Trust stock Is now $625 per share.
"A year ago the quotation was $825
Here Is a shrinkage of two hundred
million dollars In value according
to paper and speculative quotations.
One might judge that shrinkage
Of this nature would indicate re.
duction In dividends or a decrease
In earnings, but there will be little
light thrown on the subject. The
Standard Oil Trust Is a blind pool,
ard like all blind pools 1t has for Its
object the 6lching of the public
purse. The same men handle this
blind pool that manipulated the
blind pool In copper whereby thou
sands were ruined. 1.-THE same..men
are identified In nearly all the nam
moth financial schemesalthough.the
control of all the schemes may not
be In their hands to such an extent
as is Standard Oil Trust and copper.
Ordinarily the earnings of the
STANDARD Oil Trust at the present
time and under natural conditions
should be expected to be reduced.
The production of Pennsylvania oil
has gradually declined during the
past year about twenty thousand
barrels day which must cut a fig.
ure in the earnings of the Standard
OH Trust, pipe lines and re6neries.
The Pure Oh company has taken
some production from the Standard
lines but not to an extent to materi-
ally effect their earnings. The
natural decline In production
coupled with the fact that territory
Is becoming more and more limited,
are the features that must work to
reduce the dividend paying re-
sources of the giant oil trust and no
matter what stringent measures are
adopted sooner or later these con.
ditions must tell. The increase of
the margin of profit between
crude oil and the refined prod
ucts has increased the dividends
of the Standard Oil Trust, but
1t has also kept competition alive
and active. Low prices for crude
oil and high prices for refined pro.
ducts have caused decline In pro.
duction on the one hand and the
investment of new capital in the
refining industry on the other.
With all their vast interests and
resources the men who manage the
STANDARD Oil Trust do not seem
able to completely annihilate their
competitors. OF these competitors
the Pure OH Company have Sc
~cured the greatest advantages, but
the Standard OH Trust are holders
sof the stock In some of the Pure
Oil company pipe lines so the bene-
fits of increased earnings must
partly go to them and the alleged
competition does not materialize
either in prices or benefits. The
Pure Oil c ompany follow the prices
of the Standard both In the pur.
chase of its crude oil and In the
sale of refined products. 1t has
been alleged that there Is an under

my heart would jump and beat at a fear

last four about two hours. What l suffered
