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 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-
tion of the prices of oil in those coun-
tries. Mr.. 'Clarke's announcement says
In part:
"The Standard Oil Company has in
augurated 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 a direct result of these prices the
consumption of refined oil in this
country is increasing. The same pol
icy is now being actively pursued
abroad"
AS indicated by this statement, the
Standard company began trying out
the policy of lower prices jim the
United States, though without an
nouncing that it had in view a cam
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price of refined oil in
tanks was reduced from CD to 81
cents a gallon, and the price OF re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was
cut cent, from 8 3/4 to 1914 cents
gallon.
