Reading Monopoly in 1890s Oil Trust Profits and Prices
The piece surveys the American Cotton Oil Company annual meeting of 1892, noting its 124 properties across sixteen states, 900 tank cars, and an approximate value of $12 million though capitalized at over $34 million. It reports 1893 year results, 20.2 million revenue, 1.86 million net profit, 8 percent dividend, and salturing profits added to reserves. It criticizes McKinley era protectionism and antitrust efforts, linking cheaper bituminous coal substitution to undercut anthracite prices and boost consumer options. It references political calls to curb the Reading monopoly and hints at broader trust warnings.
