STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES
Reductions Made In Europe and the
Far East in Campaign to IN.
crease Use of Kerosene.

New York;. l. c. Clarke, through
whom the Standard Oil company
makes it's official announcements to
the public, has issued a statement to
the effect that the company has en-
tered on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption
of kerosene in European countries and
the lands of the Orient. The first
move in this campaign is the reduc'
ton of the prices of oil in those coun-
tries Mr. Clarke's announcement says
in part:
The Standard Oil company has In.
augurated a campaign to increase the
worlds consumption of refined OIL
The level of prices for refined oil to-
day in the United States is lower than
at any time during recent years, and
as direct result of these prices the
consumption of refined oil in this
country is increasing. The same pol
ilcy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
AS indicated by this statement, the
Standard company began trying out
the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view cam
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price of refined oil In
tanks was reduced from 62 to 5h
cents a gallon, and the price OF re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was
cut 1 cent. from ga to So cents a
gallon

WHEAT CROP ALSO IS BIG

Fat Hogs in Prospect.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. figures issued
by the crop reporting board OF the
department of agriculture show that
corn and oats are bumper crops, the
former having three billion bushels
and the latter exceeding last years
billion bushel crop by nearly 100000
200 bushels. Even the wheat crop
turns out to BIZ only 45,00O,O0O bush
els behind the big yield of 1909 and
has been exceeded but four times in
the nations history.
The great states of the Mississippi
Valley have rolled out fairness galore,
breaking the record for acreage and
yield of corn and promising the coun-
try fat hogs without limit. While the
tabulated figures show that the corn
yield is a trifie below the 100000, 1000
bushel mark, this report was made up
only to October /. Since that data
even the stragglers Of the 1910 corn
crop have come under the safety
line. The November report will take
note of these and will also tell the
country that many millions of bush
els of the crop of 1909 are still on
hand. This old corn will fatten the
Juveniles of the swine family that
were not in evidence previous to last
spring and summer.
The present corn crop is 205, 100000
bushels larger than that of last year
and is over 100000 bushels larger
han the previous bumper crop that of
l906-which was 1927 100000 bushels.
The states south of the Ohio river and
he Missouri and Kansas lines have
.aised more than round billion of
bushels Of corn, something heretofore
nheard of. The south will have hog
ind hominy in profusion-and a good
punch of corn for export
e The export promise for the northern
corn is also good. 1t is in high favor
abroad, but 1t will have to compete
With comparatively low priced Argen-
line corn that is now being headed to-
ward Europe at rate of 100000 to
1, 900 900 bushels week.
Until last year crop of a billion
bushels of oats in America was I'M

cealthy start on the second billion,
