tBy Special Leased Wire to New Mexican

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Washington, d. c., Nov. 29-Reci-
procity with the United States will be
one of the first important problems
considered by Mexico as soon as con-
ditions in that country are more Set
tied, according to Crespo y Martinez,
the Mexican ambassador to the Unit
ed States.
In an interview here, Senior Marti-
nez expresses the opinion that the
commercial relations of the two com
tries would naturally expand within
few years without the aid of spe-
cial reciprocity treaty, because of
their geographical situation and fund
amentally different products. He
says, however, that sentiment is in IA
vor of closer trade relations with the
United States in general in Mexico
and that he believes reciprocity will
be considered as soon as his country
is "a little more pacified."

CONTINUED BEAR SELLING
pEPREsSES STOCK MARKET

New York, Nov. 29.-Continued
bear selling again depressed the
stock market today. The tone was
heavy through the morning except for
a time soon after the opening, when
the list responded to the bidding up
of few of the issues in which there
was vulnerable short interest.
The movement was Of brief dura-
ton and stocks fell of sharply. Local
traction issues were strengthened by
the acceptance of the modified re-or-
ganization plan for the metropolitan
street railway company. Bear traders
made use Of the advance of all money
to four per cent.
Activity increased largely at the ex-
pense Of values In the second hour,
when the market droppeds in way
which was discouraging to the bull
interest. Rumors that the forthcom-
ing earnings of the Hartman lines
would make poor showing increased
the bear pressure against the general
western group. Some Of the market
leaders gave way to below the low
figures prevailing yesterday before
the final vigorous upturn in the mar.
ket. New York Central lost over two
points and American Sugar 8. In the
more active quarter, losses were sus-
tained Of two points In Lehigh Valley
and Reading, IL in Union Pacific
and point in many other stocks.
Bonds were irregular.
Bear operators increased their pres.
sure against the list when call money
rates rose to per cent. Amalgamat
ed Copper extended its loss to two
points. The October reports Of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
showing comparatively small decreas
es In October earnings, although thu
gross returns fell OF largely, served
as check to the selling and the lis
stiffened slightly. Large OPERATOR
sold stocks heavily again and tn
market fell to lower level than be
fore. Reports Of . falling on IN th
demand for copper explained the pei
sistent selling Of the active coppe
shares.
Amalgamated Copper suffered q los
