BOOST IN STANDARD OIL.
Sharp Rise in Securities on Curb
Market Today.

NEW YORK, November Ga sharp rise
in the securities Of Standard OIL COM
panics was the feature of today's opera
tons in the curb market. The demand is
supposed to have been stimulated by be-
lief that enforcement of the income tax
may result in an early distribution of the
large surplus held i'll the treasures Of
subordinate companies.
Standard Oil of Kentucky advanced 40
points to $50 during the morning. At
lantic Refining rose from 655 to $50.
Standard OIL of New York also registered
an advance, and stocks of foreign COM
panies made minor gains.
At the office of the Standard Oil COM
p..nies knowledge of an approaching dis
tribution was denied, but it was admit
ted that the income tax might work some
change i'll prevailing dividend rates.

ETHER BARRED FROM
PASSENGER VESSELS
Cannot Be Carried on Them
Under Any Circumstances,
U. S. Authorities Rule.

Ether cannot under any circumstances
be carried on passenger vessels subject
to the laws Of the United States. This
ruling was laid down by the Department
of Commerce today. following the presen-
tation of an opinion by Solicitor Thurman
of that department.
Following pleas from New York ship
pers of this product that the decision of
the department last summer prohibiting
the shipping of ether on passenger YES
sells worked a severe hardship upon them
because of the fact that the bulk of their
trade was with South and Central Ameri-
can countries, to which only passenger
carving vessels went, Assistant Secre-
tary Sweet said he would refer the whole
matter TO the solicitor.

Suggested Storage on Deck.

1t was then proposed that the ether
might be shipped by storing it in steel
tanks on the decks of the steamers,
thus eliminating some of the dangers.
However,, Solicitor Thurman found in
delying into the laws that while they
did not Specifically mention ether as a
prohibited commodity, nevertheless a
report from experts from the bureau
of standards reported that it was more
highly intiammable than many Of the
materials expressly prohibited. For
this reason it was thought best to pro-
hibit the shipment.
The only help for the shippers nov is
to get the law amended. 1t was said at
the department this morning that it was
not likely any one there would make the
recommendation to Congress that the law
be amended so as to permit shipment
under proper precautions. However. it
was said that if the shippers desired to
carry the case to Congress that was an
other matter.
