The Com- pany is gending a great deal of offin butk in tank cars which they own, Presently I took oceaston to drift tho converse Bation upon tha Standard, {0 its present capacity, and as that institution ts less understoad, pore haps, than olinost any other of its size In tha country tho result of the conversation is given to the public. “ Are you not afrald of tho naw companies that are Faid to be about to spring up in Cleveland and cisewhere during the present boom in oll?" No, slr, Eas not.” “Why, thoy ara Fuld to be in dead carncet this time.

Ho thought Cleveland wus not the natural refining point, aud that it waa a matter of great expense to transport che crude oll to Cleveland und then sond it back over the sama routes to the Eastern markets, Could not the rettning be done nearer the plice of production? Cun you give mo any light on this score?” “Woll, there nreagreut many thinga to tako into consideration in the mutter of refining.
