MUCH DISTURBED

New York. Oct. 9.-The Journal or COM
merce today says that the shipping trade
here IS greatly interested and somewhat
concerned at the turn taken by the fed
eraI inquiry into the operations OF the
Standard oil company. which may iean
TO an investigation by the bureau OF cor
porations OF the relations OF the steam
shin lines with corporations engaged In
heavy export business. This Is expected
TO follow the evidence given by Philip
Harrison, managre OF the New YORK Luz
bricating oil company.
Mr.. Harrison charged that five steam
ship lines had made determinations IN
rates in favor OF the Standard OIL COM
pany until his firm was forced TO pay
more than twice as much as the trust for
the transportation OF oil BY reason OF
this his company was practically forced
from the South African territory.
