:- L A!NS Oil PRICE CUT
Standard Company Says It Is to
Stimulate Consumption.
WAR FOR FAR EAST TRADE
Conflict Promptly Follows Can
celling of Agreement with
Japanese Concern.
Following the announcement from Toklo
last week that the agreement between the
S'andard Oil Company and the Asiatic
rrtro.pum Company. Limited, had been
cancelled, thus ending the combination be
tween Japaric*e and foreign oil companies.
and that 'a price IT had began, the
Standard Oil Company yesterday issued a
t-tatenjont describing conditions in the in
dustry sr.d explaining the reasons in
fluencing it ir its decision to cut prices in
foreign markets.
The world's production of crude oil. the
company notes, is increasing much mere
rapidly than the world's consumption of
refined oii, a situation which 'an be EUC-
LfMifliTlT oet only by increasing the de
mand for the refined product: and it is
:o >t:nulate that demand that the com
;>ar.y has adopted the policy of reducing
tta prlrea in the Kar East and in Europe.
as it has already reduced them in the
United States. The statement says:
During the last three years the world's
production of crude oil baa been increasing
*t a raTe tax in excess of the increase in
the vcrld's consumpt:on of kerosene, or
resned oil. In ilK* the world's production
or crude pretrol^um was nCOOO.GOQ barrels.
In 1309 the production was 304/ivO.OOu bar
rel?, an inornate of n.400.000 barrels. The
increase tn tr.e crude oil production in the
United States during the same period was
titt.OOO.OOO barrels, or two-thirds of the en
tire world's increase. The world's reflned
Oil <kcro;*ene) business in VM was 45,«X>0.000
barrels and in ISO £3.OG<\OOG barrels, an in
crease of i.00Q.009 barrels.
Tbeae figures show that rvhile the worlds
production of crude oi! has increased from
l>ni to ".ftOS by tz\? \*r iJtnx. the world's
consumption of refined oil (kerosene) has
only increased by 10.4 per- cent.
While it is true that during the past
thre* yean a rery large market in the
"United* States has been created lor oil as
fad. still even with this added outlet for
crude oil the stocks are increasing rapidly,
and at the present time in the United
States alone 'tbere is held in tankage by
tbm Standard Oil Company and others a
M<v-lc of over lIoA'O.OW barrels.
Tt must bo borne in mind that in sailing
«>il for fuel there is an enormous waste
of the valuable products contained in the

the United States being practically crude
oil from vhich only the jiighly 1 imrna

HIGH PRAISE FOR CUBS
Frank Chance Says Pennant Has
Been Won Under Handicap.
Cincinnati. Oct. 3.— After playing the
gam? which gave the championship of the
National League to the Chicago Cubs yes
terday. Frank L. "nance, manager of the
team, said:
"I am prouder of the Cubs than I ever
have been in my life. They have beaten
all records for overcoming obstacles. Never
in the history of baseball did a team pull
out under such a heavy handicap of sick
ness and injuries.
"Our regular team has been available
only at infrequent intervals. But the
utility men have more than done their duty.
But for Archer. Zimmerman, Kane and
Beaumont we would not be celebrating- I
am proud of every one of them, and I would
r.ot trade my substitutes for the regulars
on any other team-
"While the injury to Johnny Evers Is a
Mow. we have been receiving similar blows
all year, and we can't quit and give up
hope of landing the world's championship
just because he is cut. Zimmerman will
play second base In the big series, and.
mark my words, he will acquit himself
wc'.l."
Charles Webb Murphy, owner of the Chi
cago team, said:
' "For the Cubs to have won the National
League pennant four times and a world's
; pennant twice, with the possibility or a
! third, in the five years since I have be^n
j connected with the club is a source of great
j personal gratification to me. but the credit,
! of course, belongs to Chance and his men.
"Many have said the Cubs could not
'come back.' Well, they have come back
! with both feet and with interest.
"I think Chance, is in a class by himself
i as a leader, for results count, and he Is
i . no peerless leader in fact, as well as in
name. He has surrounded himself with a
bunch of loyal, capable ball players, who
constitute possibly the greatest machine of
modrrn times."

tfEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. TUESDAY, OCTOBER I, 19*
OFFICIAL GGnON REPORT
Shows 65.9 Per Cent of a Nor
mal—Rise in Local Market.
Washington. Oct. 3. -The average condi
tion of th« cotton crop on September 25
was 65.3 p«r cent of a normal, as com
pared with 72.1 a month ago, C 8.5 a year
ago, 69.7 in tM and 66.6 the average for
the past ten years on September 25. as
estimated by the crop reporting board of
the Department of Agriculture.
The Census Bureau's cotton report, is
sued to-day, shows that 2,302,211 bales,
counting round as half bales, were ginned
from the ero-vth of 1910 to September 23,
as compared with :,568.150 for 1903. 2.500.633
for 130 S. and 1.532.G02 for IM7. There were
37.767 round bales included. The number
of Sea Island bales included was 7.112.
The bullish government report on cot
ton, which showed a loss of more than 6
points in the condition of the crop dur
ing September, caused a sharp advance in
prices on the local Cotton Exchange, the
gains ranging from 15 to 25 points, or 73
cents to fl 25 a bale in the various
options in the first ten minutes after the
report was published. Heavy realizing
sales then caused a reaction of about 15
points, but these offerings were readily ab
sorbed and the market soon rallied again.
The market continued strong and active
until the close, final prices showing net
gains of from 20 to 20 points in the various
options over Saturday's close.
The market opened strong on reports
that th© strike of the cotton spinners in
Manchester had been settled, and prices
showed an advance of 8 to 12 points over
Saturday's final figures before the govern
ment report was issued. The rumored set
tlement was later denied, but by that time
the government report was out and not
much attention was paid to the denial.
The Census Bureau's report on the amount
of cotton ginned was also issued yester
day, but as it was about as expected It
had little effect on prices. It showed the
total quantity of cotton ginned from the
growth of 1310 to September 25 to be 2.302,
211 bales, as compared with 2.5ii8,150 bales
a year ago.
Estimates of the size of the crop on
the Cotton Exchange, based on the gov
ernment's condition report of 65.3. ranged
from 11.000.000 to 11.750.000 bales. 'Last
year's crop was about in.500.U00 Jiales.
BALK AT PRUNING BUDGETS
Mayor Hears Objections to Re
quest for 10 Per Cent Cuts.
With few exceptions heads of depart
ments and divisions of the city service who
appeared before the budget commltee of
the Board of Estimate at the first hearing
on the 1911 budget yesterday expressed
the opinion that it would be- wellnigh im
po??ibls to reduce their tentative budgets
by 16 p Pt -' cent, as the Controller has re
quested.
Presiding at this hearing mi the first
official work Mayor Gaynor had done since
h" was shot on August 9. Most of the
other members were seated as he entered
the hearing room. They got up and greet
ed the Mayor with clapping and hand
shakes.
City Clerk Scully, of the Board of Al
dermen, and Assistant Corporation Counsel
Sterling, said they did not pee how the
budget? for their branches of the service
could be reduced to any great extent.
Bridge OommiFsioner Martin, however, said
his department was working to cut down
the estimate, tn spite of the fact that they
had two new bridges to care for
"I am glad to see that you are disposed
tn comply with our request," said the
Mayor.
Commissioner Thompson, of the "Water
Department, explained the request for
nearly $1,000,010 more for nixt year than
for this year by saying that It wai needed
for lighting outlying part? of the city and
for taking steps to prevent the great waste
of water.
Dr. John W. Brannan. president of Belle
rue and Allied Hospitals, was told that be
would have to cut his budget eve n if he
had to dose his pathological laboratory-
He protested that it would be impossible
to do the work required and make a 10
per cent cut in his tentative budget.
The next hearing will be held to-morrow
morning at K':"n o'clock.

SAYS EVICTION WAS FRAUD
Mrs. Stewart Starts Action to
Regain House in Montclair.
Slontclalr. N. J. Oct. 3 (Special > -Mrs.
W. C Stewart, who. with her daughter
Feme, was evicted from th« house at No.
208 South Mountain avenue last week, has
Sled a bill in the Court of Chancery at
Trenton, asking that the District Court pro
ceedings under which she was ejected be
set aside. She also asks that her husband
and his daughter. Mrs. W. B. Leeds, a
wealthy widow, with their agent?, be en
joined from disposing of the premises or
any of th« effects, and that she again be
placed in possession of her home, which is
said to have cost 5200.000.
Mrs. Stewart charges that the proceed
ings under which she was forcibly ejected
from her home were collusive and fraudu
lent, and that her husband was the real
instigator of the suit, though if it was
actually brought by her stepdaughter, Mrs.
Nannie S. Leeds, it was a fraud upon her
rights under an agreement with Mrs. Leeds.
Mrs. Stewart, in the bill filed in the
Chancery Court by her attorney. Frederick
W. Smith, of Newark, declares that Mrs.
Leeds promised to purchase the Montclair
house for Mr. and Mrs. Stewart to live In
during their lifetime, and also agreed to
make an allowance of C5.0Q0 a year for the
maintenance of the establishment, which
was subsequently purchased from S. Hlrsh,
a New York banker.
Mrs. Stewart alleges that nearly all the
goods and chattels and the personal prop
erty in and about both the house and the
stable are her own, as she furnished the
house with her own furniture and equipped
the stable.
It is also charged that the suit was col
lusive and fraudulent as against Mrs.
Stewart. Mr?. Stewart says that If it was
brought either by Mrs. Leeds or by her
authority it was at the Instigation and for
the benefit of her father and for the pur
pose of committing a fraud upon her.
Moses A. Warren, of New York, who was
the attorney for Mr. Stewart, la also men
tioned in the allegations, in which fraud is
charged.
Mrs. Stewart and her daughter Feme are
living in a handsome suite of rooms at a
local hotel, awaiting the result of the ef
forts of the lawyers to reinstate them in
the big mansion from which they were
dispossessed a week ago.

Nothing Is more valuable a? an adjunct
to the hat or gown in which dignity and
simplicity are to re combined than fur, for
an infinitesimal quantity of it Is capable of
altering the whole effect of a creation. An
example of this was asaa r»cen'lv In a
tailored costume of pal* blue broadcloth
which, though faultless In line, was abso
lutely without decoration except for some
bands of skunk fur on the collar and

an effective trimming is a narrow band of
skunk fur, with a small bow of gold lace
at on* side, and for a wide hat of fold
gauze a similar band, accompanied by a
black ostrich feather, 13 charming. Hats
of a brilliant yellow brocade have whole
crowns of this dark brown fur. A confec
tion that has not been equalled for com
bined simplicity and elegance in many a
day consists of a draped crown of black

mounted by a gold galon. with tasseUed
ends.

he doesn't have. The woman is clever in
