THE ONLY "BREAKFAST CEREAL" MADE IN BISCUIT FORM STANDARD MUST PAY DUTY Oil Company Rum Up Against New Phase of Tariff Law. INVOLVES INSULAR SHIPMENTS Ten Per Cent Collected on OH Packed In Imported Tins on Which Drawback Had Been Paid. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11. The Standard Oil rompaany will have to pay a duty of about 10 per cent ad valorem on oil it has exported Into the Philippine islands since the new tariff bill became effective, al though oil under that measure Is admitted into the United Stales and the Philippines free of duty. This imposition of the duty results from the fact that the oil In ques tion, "the growth and product of the United States," was put up In cans made from imported tin, on which the Standard had accepted a drawback in view of the fact that the tins were for the export trade. Had the standard not asked for and received the drawback on tin used in making Its cans the oil. together with the container, would have been admitted Into the Philippines free. While the amount of duty that will be paid by the Standard on these shipments Is not large, the deci sion Is regarded as of Importance In es tablishing a precedent. K. H. Harrlman at Manlch. MUNICH.
