NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-weakness in

feature in the stock market today.
Further report that dividends would

stock sold down to $42 there was a
slight rally. The company operations
tons in Mexico. but not until within
the last week, when adverse dividends
rumors began to be circulated did
prices begin to go down.
Mexican Petroleum is now pro-
ducing at the rate Of around 10000, 600
barrels of oil annually, and expects
to be able to increase this production:
The company announced in its annual
report that for 1918 1t had contracts
for 100000 barrels of oil. This
would indicate that there had been a
drainage on the company's surplus of
something so Ike 100000 barrels At
amounted to 6.27s,272 barrels.
The greater part of Mexican's pro-
duction comes from the great Casiano
well No. Z. This Is the record oil well
Of the world. Drilling was started
tember of that year production com
menced, and since that time has been
running at the rate Of between 10000
and $4,000 barrels daily. In his report
in April, 1913, /. c. White. state geolo-
gist OF West Virginia. who has made
two inspections OF the properties.
stated that Casiano No. was making
about $4,000 barrels a day, or at the
rate of 100000 barrels quarterly.
The producing properties of the
Mexican Petroleum company are di-
vided into two groups, the Ebano,
about 40 miles west of Tampico. and
the Casiano. about 10 miles south of
Tampico. The former group COM
prises about 26 wells, the first of
which was drilled in 1904. Since the
initial well began producing. the total
output of the Ebano wells to April,
1913. was 13.395,607 barrels.

PERIOD OF 1NFLArIoN

AS result of pending banking
and currency legislation, A A.
Houseman, one of the most prominent
New York bankers. looks for a period
of imitation. the immediate effect of
which, he thinks, will be to advance
prices Of securities and commodities.
He says in part:
Not only does the Owen-GI bill
as 1t is provide for an imitation cal
culated by Senator Owen at 81 00Og-
100000, and by bankers at from
$1,000, 100000 to $4,000. 000,000 but
however the bill may be amended or
Whatever bill may be substituted, no
less imitation would still have to be
provided for. The measure of 1t can
not be less. 1t would be politically
impossible to enact banking and cur
rency legislation which did not In
crease both the supply of money and
Imitation will take place in both
ways. The reserve requirements
against deposits will be reduced
which will enable the banks to in
crease their loans on given base Of
gold and lawful money. Then all the
government money will be deposited
with the new banking system. in
whatever form 1t finally takes, and
that will Increase the supply of gold
and lawful money against which to
make bank loans. Finally, there is
the issue Of new treasury notes pro-
vided for; they are to be secured

Business men all over the country
are counting upon greater supplies Of
money and credit to Offset the effects
of downward tariff revision, where
these may be unfavorable."

Argentine News an Important

CHICAGO. Nov. 5-Few of the grain

Ing Tor an upturn. Conservative peo-
pie say any unfavorable turn in the
Argentine news will change senti-
ment to the buying side. Argentine
news is being closely watched and Is
an important factor in the wheat trade
at present
One of the ways in which corn
traders accounted for the slump in
december yesterday was that the
largest industry had bought 275,000
pusneIs contract corn here at 3s q 1ac
over december and given the future
Tor It. Another was that the shorts
had covered on the recent upturn and
there was no support when a few
longs wanted to sell. A third theory
was that the leading bear interest had
sold under cover to get in its shorts.
IT was noticeable that the most bull
lish interests were good buyers on
the decline. A local cash handler sold
old corn to northern Missouri yester-
day at prices that would net .1ac profit
to ship out of store from here.
There are few bulls on oats, but
they are not buying futures. Their
theory IS that the country Is not SELL

SAVINGS HOARDED
FOR INVESTMENT
Ferdinand Thieriot Looks for
Release of Vast Sums
Before Long

Ferdinand Thieriot. resident part
ner of Byrne & Mcdonnell. told The
Call this morning that he looks for
the releasing in the near future OF
vast sums OF money that have been
boarded by the public during a period
of uncertainty. The public, he be-
lieves, Is regaining confidence in the
financial stability of this country and
Its institutions.
Scarcity Of investment capital Is
not so decidedly apparent as during
the last six months" said Mr.. THE
riot. Investors during this period
have been saving their money instead
of buying bonds and stocks. During
the first part of 1913 there were a
great number of new issues which
were pretty well sold and there
seemed to be no limit to what the
public was willing to buy. Bank ac-
counts finally grew thin. with the re-
suit that severe depreciation in Sc
curity values ensued. Since then In
vestors have become more cautious
and have been accommodating their
savings. There will come time,
when least expected, when these saw
ings will begin to be invested in Sc
curities in large volumes.
Much has been said regarding the
Mexican situation, but / believe the
aiarmists are greatly OVERRIDING it.
Ine interstate commerce commission
appears to be willing to meet the de-
mands OF the railroads little more
fairly and 1t looks as II the latter
might receive at least a few of the
demands which they are seeking.
