WAR'S END TO HELP OIL CO.
New York Corporation Plans for Great
Business in Far East
NT.ff YOHK. .May -25, That tho con
elusion of the war will not materially In
jure the Standard Oil Company of New
York, but on the contrary will open up
new fields and mnrkets thnt have been
closed to tho company Blnco 1914, was the
opinion a man familiar with the affairs of
the company expressed today. Turkey,
(Ireecc nnd, In fact, the entire Lewint. which
have been purchasers of the Standard's
product, have not received shipments for
nearly two years, and, Instead of the de
mand, as la generally thought, falling off. It
Is expected to be considerably Increased.
The Standard's subsidiary, the Stnndatd
Transportation Company. Is now building
olx large tankers that will bo placed In the
FNr East service. Two of these boats will
be completed In tho next six ueeks nnd will
start currying oil cargoes immediately.
The New York company, which has been
chiefly handicapped by Its shortage of
tonnage, despite the fact that Its ships total
an aggregate tonnage of 200,000. will earn
far more. It It said by those following tho
affairs of the company, than It did In t915,
when Its profits nmounted to $16,000,000.
The 1915 report compared with the one of
1911 showed a gain of almost 50 per cent.,
but 1916 was only slightly above the earn
ings of 1913.
