BIG OIL DEAL DENIED
Wall Street Hears Rumor Re-
garding Austrian Loan.

There was rumor in Wall Street yes
terday that the S2j.G0o.0o0 Austrian loan
negotiated through two large banking in
situations of this city and their connec-
tons abroad had been made possible by
the privileges which the Austrian govern
ment had guaranteed TO the Standard OIL
Company. These privileges. 1t was said,
were 10 be enjoyed by the Vacuum OIL
Company, which has just settled its diff
ferences with the Austrian government.
Inquiry among bankers and others con-
nected with the Standard OIL Company
elected an emphatic denial. One member
Of a big banking institution termed the
report nonsense, and another banker said
that the Standard Oil Company had never
heard CT the Austrian loan until negota-
tons had been completed.
The Vacuum oil Company, so-called
Standard Oil subsidiary, has not had
equal commercial rights with the other
oil producing companies In Austria TOT
practically the last two years. AItnouSh
the agreement announced Monday where
by the company will he allowed to reopen
its plants along the German frontier Is
COMPROMISE. IL is regarded as favorable
to the American company and its stock
holders The closing of the Vacuum re-
lneries represented the tieing up of about
50 00o. 600.
Under the new agreement Standard
Oils subsidiary will have the same COM
mercial privileges as companies repre-
senting Austro- Hungarian interests.

chairman of the board OF directors OF

was enthusiastic yesterday over condi-
tons in that section Of the country. lie
said:

supply companies are complaining OF IN
sufficient car supply to handle promptly

based on the present yield, will derive

instead the lines already in operation
from other German ports.

been concluded with the result already
given. The new service. he continued,
would carry from eight hundred to nine
hundred emigrants on each trip. but prac-
tlcallv no freight or cabin passengers
from Emden. The government. he said,
was convinced that it was acting In the
best interests Of Prussia and OF the Ger
man Empire in refusing a concession TO

at the sole expense of the existing lines
but would also reopen the transatlantic
shipping war.

A twenty-hve-foot channel from Perth

Colonel Rossell recommended an initial
appropriation OF sl,5OO,Ooo. and estimates
that the work may be completed In twelve
years with similar appropriation eacn
year The depth OF the channel Is now
twenty-one feet at mean low water.
The board of engineers reports that X
has arrived at the conclusion that the
commerce OF this locality is such as to
demand increased facilities and considers
these needs Will be served for the present
by a channel twenty-five feet deep, ex-
tending from the upper end of the water
way down to Perth Amboy, with suit
able turning basin. 1t therefore recon-
mends a channel twenty-five feet deep
from Perth Amboy 10 the channel in
