Standard Oil Profits.
The Standard Oil Company of New York's statement for 1916 is one of the most remarkable ever made by a Standard Oil company, sys the "Christian Science Monit r."I's surplus of more than 68,60,100 is equal to 90 per cent. of its entire stock. Its surplus last year increased more than $42,000,000. In the past two years the surplus has grown $52,000,00 % Approximate- 17 $11,0 0,0 0 of the increase`în surplus last year is due to apprecition in value of equip- ment of subsidiary companies, notably Standard Transportation Company, its big marine trans- portation company, which took over marine business of the New Yorke mpany in the latter half of 1915, and which had an excesd- ingly prosperous year in 1916.
