No Standard Oil
Stock on Market
Guesses as to Value of Shares
Stripped of Subsidiaries Are
Almost Impossible.

NEW YORK, Sept. l-For the first time
in many years 1t was almost impossible to
buy or sell Standard oil stock today in the
New York market. No one had any idea
what this stock. which closed at $6s4 a
Dshare. was worth.
Standard OIL of New Jersey passed out
Of existence as a trust stock yesterday, in
accordance with the supreme court decl-
sion that IL must divest itself of its hold
ings OF subsidiary companies. Guesses as
TO how much Standard Oil OF New Jersey.
stripped of the subsidiaries, was worth
share ran all the way from 500 to $500.
and as to the stocks of the subsidiaries
which are to be distributed among stock
holders as recorded on the .company's books
yesterday. no estimate could be made of
their worth. Standard Oil has never issued
a public report and material on which to
form estimates OF the kind is scanty.
An attempt was made to trade in the
old shares, attaching to the certificates
agreements whereby the seller assigned all
rights in subsidiaries to the buyer. on
this basis stock was quoted at about yes
terday's figures For Standard OIL OF New
Jersey without right in subsidiaries $500 a
Nhare was bid. and the lowest offer was
$3.50 1t was all such obvious guesswork
that no business was done.

France Believes that =
Germany Will Accept
General Opinion at Paris Terms Of
fered to Settle Moroccan Trouble
Are Sufficiently Liberal.

PARIS Sept. 1-While the French for
eign office, it is understood, has no sure
indication that Germany will accept the
French proposals for a settlement OF the
Moroccan question. measure OF conf
dence is felt in agreement, because Of the
extent of the compensations which are to
be offered by France. Since these are
central African areas, 1t is not supposed
that Germany would proceed to extreme
lengths over a few thousand square miles,
more or less.
The real difficulty in the way of an
early settlement, 1t is believed at the for
eign office, lies in the special commercial
and mining guarantee which Germany may
seek in Morocco. as nothing can be given
Germany in Morocco which Great Britain
does not possess. Besides. anything like
special privilege would afford endless oc-
easions for the reopening of the contro-
versy on questions of Interpretation.
The French and British governments
have reached the fullest mutual agree
ment on every phase OF the Franeo-Ger-
man dispute.

case.

Backers of Suarez
Not So Confident
Indications Point to Nomination Of
Alfredo R. Domengues for Vice
President of Mexico.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. when the back
ers OF the candidacy OF Jose Pine Suarez
for the vice presidency Of Mexico entered
the progressive convention this morning
their faces did not betray the same con-
fidence which has characterized them until

noon and few are venturing guesses on
the successful one
Sanchez Azcona personally a partisan of
Suarez is credited this morning by many
political observers with having acted clev-
erly last night in availing himself of his
right as chairman arbitrarily to adjourn
the convention. Since then the leaders Of
the four political factions have worked
hard and the strain Of their overnight eff
forts showed on them today.
The attacks of the opposition on the
methods employed by the hackers. Of
Suarez have had a noticeable effect AL
though they were unable to prove that
the central committee had overstepped the
bounds OF political ethics in supporting
that candidate charges to that effect have
resulted in open suspicion on the part Of
many OF the delegates whose votes Suarez's
hackers had considered safe.
