OIL TRUST DISsOLVEs,
 OIL MAY BE CHEAPER.
Increased Competition is Expected to
 Result From Dissolution.

.i
 New York, Nov. 8O@Thsee Aaree- of
 the e.oi1 trust7 officially came to an
 end today The Standard Oil com
 pany of New Jersey. sometimes call
 ed the father of trusts and perhaps
 the most celebrated corporation in
 the world, will no longer control the
 affairs as the holding company of
 more than thirty corporations in va
 rious branches of the oil business
 Beginning tomorrow these subsf-
 diaries, which under the decree of the United States supreme court must conduct independently the various en-
 terprises, will assume entire manage ment of their own affairs. The oil trust theoretically passed out Of ex- istence on August 31, when the books containing the records of the com pany's stockholders were closed for distribution of the stock of the sub salaries, but during the intervening period of re-adjustment 1t was nec- essary to preserve the old form to a large extent. Now the work of dis integratfon has been completed.
 The task of efecting dissolution was made less difficult by the fact had lost their identity They have retained their separate officers and boards of directors and to a large ex- tent have conducted their own af- fairs from their home offices, in what ever states they were. These com panieS, however, have had repFeSen- tation at 26 Broadway, the home of the New Jersey corporation which exercised general direction over all their affairs. It is this connection which will be severed The subsi- diaries which have not already sur rendered their offices at 26 Broadway will do so, and henceforth the af- fairs of each company will be con- ducted in it's home state. The Stand ard Oil company of New Jersey will continue to exist, as it owns several large plants.
 To each stockholder will be for. Warded tomorrow his proportionate share of stock in each of the sub sidiaries, so that in place of one is- sue of stock be will have more than thirty.
 The removal of the officials of sub sidiaries who have had their offices at .26 Broadway will affect Q large number of men who have lived in New York. 4 minor official of one who has completed paying for home in the suburbs, must go to Denver. Others will go all the way to California. Several score of officials will be transferred in this way.
 The pubiic's relations with the Oil will not be visibly affect ed, at least for the present. No one IS able to forecast the ultimate effect of the dissolution, whether 1t will have any bearing upon retail prices, or upon the relation of the companies in the Standard Oil group with the independent producers. Increased competition is expected but the pub lie will be obliged to bide it's time be- fore finding out whether 1t is to have cheaper oil.
