NEW FIGURE LOOMS
> IN THE OIL WORLD
(By Richard Spillane)

Washington, D. C.-Back of the
announcement from London that
the British government is going in
to the oil business and has made a
close alliance with the Royal Dutch
Shell interests is cne of the most re-
markable romances of commercial
history and one of the most import
ant developments of recent time.
The London announcement SIM
ply means that the British have de-
termined to control oil so far as it
it possible for them to do so. In
carrying out their plans, they will
have the services of H. A. Deterd-
ing, the master spirit of the Royal
Dutch Shell, the man who threatens
to out-Rockefe1ler Rockefeller.
incidentally, Lord Cowdray, who
up to the present time has been
leading light in oil circles in the
British empire, gets out. His hold
ings in the Mexican and other fields
being taken over by the Royal
Dutch Shell.
Deterding is Dutchman, born in
Amsterdam. AS youth, he went
to Java. He was in bank there
when an adventurer, who had some
oil promotion project in Borneo,
needing an assistant, hired him.
The promoter died and Deterding
while yet a youth, took over the
management of the small property.
Deterding is a genius. The Burma
oil is not of high quality, but by the
most skillful maneuvering Deterd
ing managed to broaden. the mar
ket for it.
He was without ships and enter
ed into a combination with the Shell
Transport Co. After some years, he
managed to combine the two prop
critics under the name of the Royal
Dutch Shell.
He invaded the Chinese field,
which at that time was monopoliz-
ed by the Standard Oil. Before the
Standard people appreciated what
they were up against, he had built
up a fair trade in the interior of
that empire, but did not succeed.
He fought the Standard so vigor--
ously that the Rockefeller people f.
nally made peace on basis of fifty
fifty in China, Deterding confining
his operations to the interior and
the Standard limiting its to the
coast.
Not content with this progress,
Deterding broadened out. He ae-
quired large interests in Russia and
Persia and by a combination with
the Rothchilds of Paris and the
Samuel interests of London he ae-
quired large properties in Rumania
and other parts of Europe. Later
he branched out so as to take in
America.
He has concession in Venezuela.
various valuable properties in Mexi-
co, and in the United States he is
represented by the Roxana Co., q

New York, April 9.-On account
of a resumption of yesterdays buy
ing there was an opening advance
of from to 80 points for the new
style months in the cotton market.
Steady cables, increased exports and
unfavorabIe weather reports encour-
aged the advance, but there was
considerable reactionary sentiment
and scattered southern selling
which caused setback after the
call.
