yances are looked for. The buIlish

crease of more than - per cent has
been made from all points on the gulf
to Europe" said Alfred II. Clement.
An increase in charter fees. due to
the demand for ships, brought about
by a general expansion of business, is
the cause for the rise in the cost of
sea transportation. Steamship men
declare that many Of the big Compan,
les were carrying freight at rates ac-
tually below the cost of handling, just
to maintain their business, and that
the advances are but the natural Sc
GuenCe Of the revival of business.

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 its 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.
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
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 in the
United States, though without an.
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 81 to 81
cents a gallon, and the price of re-
fined oil in barrels at the refinery was
cut 1 cent, from 93I4 to 1914 cents a
gallon.
