Stockholders of the Standard com panics to a great degree are the same individuals or interests, with more than half of the stock of the various companies in their hands. Leading officers of the Standard companies hold considerable stock in two or more companies. Standard Oil refineries produced more than 60 per cent, of the gaso line output in 1915, sold about 65 per cent, of th3' total marketed, and held more than 70 per cent, of gasoline stocks; "Correspondence of the different prices in 1915 with Standard market ing territories' says the report, "it self points to arbitrary price fixing. Rut the arbitrary character of the in-1 eaualities in price is conclusively! demonstrated by the. facts that as be tween most of the territories there were no such differences in demand and supply . . . and the margin be tween cost and price was widely dif ferent in the different territories ACROSS ATLANTIC WITH THE FRENCH COMM'SSIONERS.

"The Stand ard Oil Company of New Jersey knows of no artificial price condi tions in the gasoline fields, and the company 'has scrupulously obeyed' the United States Supreme Court's dissolution decree," A. C. Bedford, president, said today in a statement. "The Federal Trade Commission in timates that a portion of the rise in the price of gasoline, at least in soiue sections of the country, may be due to conditions which it characterizes as 'artificial.' "We know of no artificial conditions whatever which have effected prices, and the fact is that the operations of this company have been dictated solely by sound and legitimate busi ness considerations." After pointing it out as "signifi cant" that the commission finds that the Standard Oil companies now han dle -only 65 percent. of the gasoline marketed in this country, as com pared with 87 per cent, before the gov ernment's suit, the statement says: "It is a matter of common knowl-edge-that during the past few years a great number of new oil companies have been organized in this country and have invested hundreds of mil lionsof dollars. The commission does not suggest that any practice savoring of unfair competition on the part of the former Standard Oil com panies has restrained in any way the free and unhampered growth and suc cess of these new or of any old com panies. "The fact is that the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey has scrupu lously obeyed the decree in the dis solution suit as affirmed by the Su preme Court. . Our observance of the decree has been under the constant supervision of the Department of Jus tice, and it has made no cdmplaint against us. The commission does not intimate that any practice or pol- her course as though she would run close, but was given a wide road for fear she might have been a submarine tender. There was a low barometer and some hours of rough weather half way over. Otherwise the days were fine. The principal event of each day was the arrival of wireless news sum maries. When M. Painleve, war minister, first proposed to his fellow cabinet members that a mission should be sent to America his idea received al most instant acceptance. The French ministry thought that definite results might emerge from a joint examina tion of the larger aspects of the world situation. The mission was to be instructed to place its experience and information at the disposal of the President and to arrive at results in consultation. The mission to Wash ington having been determined in principle, the question was to select the men. "I would like to go myself," said M. Ribot, to his colleagues. "Only it would be imprudent for me to leave the government for a month. If it were for a week or ten days I might do it." The choice fell upon M. Viviahi, next in rank to M. Ribot, in the cab inet. M. Ribot, acting with the au thority of the cabinet, then called upon Marshal Joffre, who reflected for some time, and agreed to join the mission. Such is the confidence of the -rencn caDinet in "M. viviahi, that! they gave him no written instruc tions. Marshal Joffre's fellow-members in the mission had an opportunity dur ing the voyage to come into intimate contact with him. Joffre is a silent man by habit. He joined in the con versation at table by occasionally telling anecdotes of the battle front. Sometimes he would unexpectedly ut ter a judgment upon an Important phase of the military situation in Europe. Joffre kept his small staff very busy on the ship, working on documents having to do with his pres entation in Washington of aspects of the military situation. The marshal is prepared, if President Wilson should ask, to lay before him the ex- He will, if re quested, indicate what in his judgment 5 BUSINESS SPECIALS MESSENGER SERVICE.
