The excuse for the Increase in price U, that the in created uao of the commodity bus made it Im possible to satisfy -the demands made on production. ' Whatever the reason, automobile owner* declared! tbat the Standard Oil Co. had over- 1 ?hot the mark when It rallied the pride of gasoline so high that ita Importation In^o the country be came profitable. petroleum and gasoline are not subjected to a tariff duty. When the pr?e> *s suf ficiently high , here to more than pay for transportation front abroad it makes the importation of gusollno profitable.

Officials of that company yeesterday declin ed to discuss the relation of the gasoline shipment to the increase in price fixed by the Standard Oil (Co. and refused to make any state ment further than that the Gulf Re tfinlng Co, is an independent cor'* poration arid has no connection with the Standard. Other oil merchanst, many of whom handle the output of the Standard Oil Co., declared yester day that the rapid increase in the number of automobiles used for pleasure and business purposes is largely responsible for the rise in the price of gasoline. They said, however, that the scarcity of gas oline was temporary only and that thef American product would be supplied in sufficient quantity as soon as . the capacity of the plantH could be Increased. There need be little fear, it was said, of foreign gasoline competing on a profitable basis with the American product.
