SIXTEEN TANKERs
I TO TRANSPORT OIL
Andrew Weir Says English
Syndicate Will Take I'm
menSe Supply

In line with the exclusive announce
ment in The Call yesterday that the
Weir syndicate of British capitalists,
who are about to take over control of
the General Petroleum company, also
intend to exercise the latter's option
on the Union Oil company, Andrew
Weir made it clear to officers of Gen.
eral Petroleum during their confer
ence later in the day that his syndi-
cate will be capable of disposing. of
all the oil that can be supplied by the
two companies.
To handle the transportation of this
oil, Mr.. Weir announced that an atfili-
ated company will supply 16 huge
tankers. One of these has been
lanched. another will soon leave the
ways and two will be ready In 1914.
The other II have been ordered. Each
has a displacement of 10000 tons. or
an aggregate displacement of 100000
tons. A considerable part of the fleet
will be ready to place in service with
the opening of the Panama canal to
merchant vessels.
The General Petroleum company
now produces and controls about 30,-
600 barrels a day. The output of
Union oil. together with the>produc-
ton of the Producers Agency, which
1T controls, Is about equal to the out
put OF Standard oil in California, or
$4,000 barrels day.
Mr.. Weir and r. Tilden Smith, the
London banker, who accompanies him.
plan to remain several days in this
city before beginning their inspection

Adverse Argentine Reports
Affect Chicago Market;
Oats Harden

CHICAGO. Dec. 17.-Wheat today
showed firmness. largely the result of
adverse reports concerning harvest
returns in Argentina and because of
less favorable crop news from Aus
tralia. The opening, which varied
from shade lower to Mc advance.
was followed by moderate rise all
around.
Lightness of offerings carried the
corn market higher. Prices started
unchanged to &c up. and scored a
further material gain.
Oats hardened with corn. Business,
however, was only of scattering
sort
First sales of provisions ranged
from SC decline to a shade advance,
but then the market climbed.
