"We give this morning a general review of
the oil situation as affected by the Standard
operators in the Ohio field. From this it
would appear that Pennsylvania producers
need not be greatly alarmed. The price of
their product is not likely to be immedi-.
ately depreciated, although it is probable
that in the near future Lima oil will be the
basis of value for all classes of petroleum.
rsrZClAI. TELEGRAM TO TBI DISFATCH.I
Lijia, April 20. Pennsylvania people
who are not unlikely to become alarmed by
the numerous fairy tales sent out from this
new oildom can with safety deduct from 50
to 75 per cent from the general newspaper
reports sent out from here, particularly to
the Ohio papers, and need not be at all scru
pulous about questioning the balance. The
whole town is stark mad and doesn't know
or care what it is talking about, in so far as
Lima oil and its future are concerned.
The solemn facts that the Standard has
acquired control of as much as possible of
this territory and is building a pipe line to
connect this field with all its works, and
even that it is refining Lima oil, are now
admitted by everybody, the Standard in
cluded, and the Pennsylvania oil people
must govern themselves in accordance with
these facts and common sense, but they
must make due allowance for the excitement
existing here, when considering any of the
extravagant reports ncweurrent
I will give some idea of the existing state
of affairs by overhauling a column of
ridiculous misstatements published in to
day's Cincinnati Enquirer. It speaks of
this as the greatest petroleum producing
region outside of the famous Baku district
of Bussia, when the daily production does
not average over 30,000 barrels, and speaks
of 1,000 to 1,500 barrel production on 100
acre tracts, when the average is 300.
DELUSIVE STATEMENTS.
It tells of tankage here lor 37,000,000 bar
rels, exclusive of pipe lines, when they real
ly have about 450 35,000-barrel tanks. It
has the amount of oil in tanks here down
all right, but says this 15,000,000 barrels of
oil is worth as it stands J0.000,000 to the
Standard. In other words, .according, to this
report, Lima oil, for which the Standard
paid 15 cents, is worth 51 33, or over 50 per
cent more than Pennsylvania oil. The ex
travagance of the statement is too apparent
to need comment
The district to-day, with restricted pro
duction, is producing 30,000 barrels daily,
or say 250,000 barrels a week. The produc
tion, as is well known, could be raised to
100,000 barrels a day, if such a thing was
desirable. This statement is important, and
is hardly less extravagant than the preced
ing one, in so far as the possibilities ex
pressed are concerned. Of course it is
hard to estimate what amount the earth
contains, and I have certainly no desire to
depreciate the importance of this field, but
desire to state such facts as will be valuable
to Pennsylvania oil men who are endeavor
ing to come to a conclusion.
People who come here from the Pennsyl
vania oil field find very different surround
ings from what they are accustomed to. The
rocky hemlock foothills are conspicuously
absent, and there is nothing here suggestive
of oil excepting the odor and tanks and
derricks, which look out of place. It is a
level agricultural country, and the putting
up of a derrick here previous to the natural
gas excitement, when oil was accidentally
discovered, would have been regarded as
sufficient evidence of insanity to put any
man in a lunatic asylum.
ONE WELL ENOUGH FOE 50 ACBES.
The difference between this oil territory
anu mai in .Pennsylvania is not confined to
tbe surface. The rock is as different as the
products of tbe two fields, if not more so. In
parts of the Pennsylvania field a well to the
acre is not an unusual thing. In this field
they followed the rule, and there are to-day
numerous holes not being worked at alt
The rock is so porous that one well will
drain ten acres and one well to 10, 20 or
even 50 acres seems to be more in accordance
with the nature of things. It has been
found that it is a matter of choice between
one large or several small wells. One well
will drain an immense territory. Further
more if a man don't get a big well and a
good wad of money at the outset he gets
left A 100 barrel well falls off to about 25
barrels in a year.
One disadvantage under which Lima pro
ducers labor is the fact that all Lima oil has
to be pumped. There is no pumping by
heads and no gas to make the well flow.
Thesame paper gives currency to some
alarming nonsense regarding th'e future
price of Pennsylvania oil, which is credited
to an old, experienced Pennsylvania pro
ducer who bad been squeezed up on the
right hand and frozen on the left bv the
Standard. He is reported as saying: "
WON'T beae analysis.
"It will recede, of course, and continue
to recede. It can't hurt anybody in this
field, but it means death to Pennsylvania.
The result will not be to put down the price
of crnde here in Ohio, but it will drag it in
Pennsylvania down to the 15 cent level. In
this one field the Standard controls 38,000
acres, capable of producing at least 50,000
barrels a day if necessary. There is no mar
ket for oil if it ran armpit deep in the
brooks, except through the Standard. The
price hereafter paid for crude oil is a mere
farce. Why? Because they own everything
except royalties. "Why would thev put up
the price? They are now paying in this
district 15 cents a barrel on their royalties.
They would be great fools to give gratuities,
and to advance prices now would be to give
gratuities. There are no fools in the Stand
ard Compan."
This sounds all right if you do not stop to
analyze it when it appears to be absurd.
One question will settle it If the Standard
should reduce the price of Pennsylvania oil
to 15 cents, how long would it be before
there would be a market for it outside of
Standard. At any such ridiculous reduc
tion independent refineries would spring up
like mushrooms, for Pennsylvania oil is un
doubtedly the best and would admit of
greater profits at an equal price lor both oils.
LIMA OIL AS A BABIB OP VALUE.
If there is anything that the Standard can
be depended upon to do it is to obstruct all
roads leadini
ng to competition, and it will of
take care of the Pennsvlvania
necessity
product at a price commensurate with the
intrinsic value as compared with Lima oil.
I should not be surprised to see Ohio oil
supersede Pennsylvania oil as a basis of
value, however, for it must be remembered
that-the Standard's interests are hereafter
centered in Ohio oil by reason of owning its
own production, which it will naturally
wish to utilize to the best possible advan
tage. Such being tbe case, the question of
taking care of the Pennsylvania product
would seem to bean after-consideration with
the price largely dependent upon how
cheaply they can buy it without developing
competition. I would not be surprised to
see the price of Pennsylvania oil reduced to
about a discouraging cost basis, and in due
course of time to see the Standard buying
out the discouraged producers just as they
have here. As to the price" of Lima oil I
believe it will be advanced.
One of the favorite pastimesof the Standard
is squeezing of independent refiners. There
are of these, the Eagle Consolidated Com
pany here, the Peerless Kenning Company
at Findlay, which is enlarging, and a new
refinery at Toledo just completed, and three
or four projected and one or two under way
here.
WHAT THE STANDARD "WANTS.
Thev are building air castles on a basis
of 15 "cent oil. Since the Standard owns
nearly all the production, how easy it would
be for them to pay the few outsiders who
supply the independent refiners say 30 or 40
cents for their oil until the independent re
finers were destroyed, and then turn on the
independent producer after having destroyed
his market
Colonel Hawkins, an old Pennsylvania oil
man, expressed the whole situation when he
said there is nothing to low for the Stan
dard to grasp or too high for them to reach.
'Whoever considers the subject must not
loose sight of the fact that the Standard
controls the market, and hence that the
efiect on Pennsylvania oil will be about as
the Standard wants it The chief question,
therefore, is as to their wishes, and in solv
ing this problem it will be necessary to
look a long way ahead. The newspaper re
ports of an advance in the price of the Lima
oil are, of course, false. The Standard is
still buying leases and territory, and no ad
vance can be reasonably expected, in the
near future.
THE SECEET OUT.
Providence seems to have come to the
rescue and let out the Standard Oil Com
pany's well guarded secret. The evening
papers contain accounts of the collapsing
of a 30.000 barrel tank of refined petroleum
just west of the Standard's refinery here at
l o ciock to-day. The oil hlled tne embank
ment with which all such tanks are sur
rounded, but instead of saving it, a force
was at once set to work cutting a ditch
through the embankment, by means of
which it was quickly drained into the river.
It seems to have been an imperative neces
sity that the stuff disappear as quickly as
possible'.
Standard men to-night deny that it was
refined. The public can consider the cir
cumstances and draw their own conclusions.
PULLED TOO SOON.
The Disclosure ot the Standard's Opera-
tions Defeats the Consummation of
a Gigantic Scheme to Bear
tbe Market.
rSFECXU. TELXGBAH TO TSZ DISPATCH.!
Cleveland, April 20. It has leaked
out here on what is considered likely
authority that what may be called the pre
mature publication of the great Standard
oil deal, wherein they appear to have prac
tically abandoned tbe Pennsylvania fields
for those of Ohio, not only interfered to a
greater or less extent with the capture of
Ohio oil territory, but really disarranged a
very important part of their programme, and
while cutting off a large share of their
profits saved the speculative public an equal
amount
It has been said that never since the days
or Croesus has such a commercial romance
been planned, much less written on the
Sages of history, and the assertion is proba
ly true, for it involved not only the acqnire-'
ment of the 15,000,000 barrels of Ohio oil at
a ridiculously low figure of 15 cents a barrel,
but also of the territory whence it was ob
tained at nominal prices, with all its known
resources and enormous unknown resources
in reserve, practically without the tieing
up of any capital. In other words, the
profit represented by the 15,000,000 barrels
of oil will pay for all the investments tbey
have made, and even enrich their treasury.
To the ordinary mind the securing of
such a quantity of oil at less than half its
intrinsic value would Seem to be a suffi
ciently enormous achievement, for the
golden eggs of unknown value with part of
the prohts quietly purchased the goose that
laid them, and now comes dame gossip with
a report that it was part of the original
plan to captthe climax by unfolding the
great transaction to the public by means of
a great bear movement on all the specula
tive oil markets. It is said the plan was to
put up as great lines of shorts as possible,
and when that was accomplished, grad
ually unfold to the over-confident bulls
the true state of affairs as expressed in the
dispatches of the past week. This would
have been the easiest part of the whole pro
gramme to execute, for the bulls were bank
ing on the small supply of oil in sight and
the declining production, and accepting as
true the fuel oil story.
Of course there is no knowing what ruin
this move would have wrought, but it would
have probably been executed on a scale in
keepimr with the balance of the transaction
and the speculative public may well con
gratulate The Dispatch upon the feat of
laying before them the facts at such
a timely date. It is said that the selling
movement inaugurated last Tuesday, when
the market weakened for the first time in
months, was the inauguration of the closing
chapter of the otherwise wholly successful
romance.
WHAT THE BTANDAED SATS.
Its Officers Blake Blanj Admissions and Talk
of Extension of Territory.
Several Standard representatives in New
York have been interviewed in regard to the
operations in Ohio. Mr. J. D. Arcbbald,
President of the Acme Oil Company, No. 26
Broadway, who is closely allied with the
Standard, said:
The Standard Oil Company has never enter
tained any idea of abandoning Pennsylvania
for Ohio; it has acquired territory in Ohio with
a view to supply a certain trade w hich requires
an oil inferior to the Pennsylvania grade and
consequently cheaper.
Mr. S. Q. Brown, of the Tidewater Oil
Company, which is also a large consumer of
Pennsylvania oil, said, when asked about
the alleged move of the Standard:
The Standard Oil Company Is simply extend
inc Its territory, not only in Ohio, but also in
Pennsylvania. Their company will at no time
desert Pennsylvania fields. The Pennsylvania
oil is far superior to any that can be had else
where. It Is always in demand. There is also
a demand for an inferior grade: in order to
supply this demand additional facilities have
had to be acquired, hence this story about the
unio neias. xjima on u ana always will De at a
disadvantage compared with Pennsylvania.
You cannot make, so far as known, a first-fix
oil of it
Mr. George H. Lincoln, the petroleum
broker at 23 Beaver street, who represents
large interests, was sounded on the subject
He said:
It is quite true that tbe Standard Oil Compa-
tory in Ohi
ness rations. They have a demand for a certain
grade of oil which they cannot supply from
Pennsylvania. It Is Inferior In quality, there
fore cheaper. A customer comes to them for
it He will not use it unless he can be supplied
for some time at a given price. He wants a
yearly contract In order to make such a con
tractthe Standard must have the ability to
meet it Unless they own the producing facili
ties they cannot regnlate tbe price of tbe oil;
they cannot make contracts; hence this invasion
into Ohio.
Astoleavmc Pennsylvania, that is what is
called a "fake?' Instead of doing so, they are
.ft.ieuuMi bucir lukercsui m uiatoiaic, ana It IS
their policy to contiue such extension. The
exteniion of the Standard's refining property
at Lima is contemplated, butno plans have yet
been followed about it; therefore, the story
that the company have their sleeves rolled up
and are working night and day, while the
sweat rolls down in bnckctfuls. In order to in
crease their Ohio refinery facilities is also a lie.
At tbe office of the Standard Oil Compa
ny, 26 Broadway, the tenor of talk was of
the same quality.

IN THE GOOD OLD TIME
Nobody but Millionaires Bought Shirts.
The careful wife erected them according
to a mysterious and complicated theory.
The maiden aunt wrestled with the esoteric
problem, or the mother-in-law warmed up
the faltering affection of her son by present
ing him with a half dozen ably-constructed
garments that made him imperii his future
happiness every time he put them on.
Then came the era of high-priced custom
shirts. Three dollars was the price for a
shirt Some benighted souls who think the
world doesn't move still charge it
But Kaufmanns' began to sell shirts with
graduated bodies, five lengths of sleeves, a
fit around the neck and a finish such as the
S3 shirts rarely had, and charged 98c for
them; $5 50 per half dozen. That was the
beginning of the era ot comfort in shirts.
And to-day Kaufmanns' are selling more of
that shirt than any two furnishing goods
houses in Pittsburg.
II you have never tried them, you don't
Know what a comtortable, periect ntting
shirt is. Drop into Eaufmanns' any day
this week and buy one, you'll soon come
back and get a half dozen.
