LONDON, July 6.-The oil war be-
tween Standard Oil and the Royal
Dutch Shell is still going full blast, with
the exception Of an agreement reached
regarding Indian and Turkish terri
tories, where both companies agreed
to standardize prices. Even this agree
ment will not come into force until
1884.
Sir Henry Detering, England's "oil
Napoleon" is displaying just now ire
mendous activities toward sabotaging
the Russian-American combine. AL
though the draft of the Russian-Ameri-
can agreement was initiated in June by
representatives OF the Naptha and
Vacuum Oil Companies, the Russians
refused to sign the contract. which
would have given the American oil in
terests tremendous advantage over the
Dutch and English companies.
Negotiations have not been broken of.
but there are delays due to several
causes. First 1t is reported there Is a
certain amount of trouble over fulfilling
contracts with some British firms, the
Russians having sold oil at cheaper
rates than have been agreed upon. Sec
ond, Detering is said to have repeated
an offer which he made two years ago
and then withdrew and which would
give better terms than the American
group now offers. Third. since January

duction cost Of IS cents per pound.

acre we're reported by % farmers. who

cents per pound. The other side of the
picture was shown in reports from Is
other farmers. who said their yields
were under so pounds per acre and their

greater yields than the 154 pounds per
acre reported by the Federal Crop Re-
porting Board.
