Mexican Petro1c m.

Everybody bought Mexican Petroleum
yesterday. That IL to say. all the pro-
f~essionals and seml-professionais who
wait around day by day looking for a
likely turn Jumped aboard as soon as
the move started. Blu the activities of
the superficial trading element appeared
to be incidental rather than fundamental.
Ever since the signs of a real period OF
settlement in Mexican affairs Mexican
Petroleum has become increasingly at
tractive to more or less conservative
speculative interests who would not
touch It before. In the last month or so
II is reported that one influential COM
mission house look a large interest in
the stock. and there are still further In
dications that the speculative possibili-
ties OF the stock are not b-ing overlooked
by prominent people. Clark. Childe 4
Co. In their market letter give the Next
can Petroleum situation quite a promi-
rent place. They state that the COM
pany's product H. now selling at prices
averaging 80 per cent. higher thar In
1914. on this basis It is figured thai
profits for the last year have been 40 per
cent. greater. Ths ease with which the
stock responded TO the buying yesterday
the extreme gain being 5ls points
t%estifies to the character of the market
In the stock. The outside interest In
Mexican Petroleum o Is probably
rather small. \ brisk rise does not
bring liquidation from public spectators
who had been hung up on previous boom
lrts. This is mentioned as one of the
btll points on the stock

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Action and Results.

careful observers were more i'm
pressed with the action Of the market
than with the actual results in tho way
OF gains made. The ground gained. en-
cept In "a few quarters, principally the
copper shares, was after all not en-
traord mary. IL was. in other words, stu
a market that lacked the impulse of u
broad outside buying movement which
promised to lift prices out OF the rut in
which they have ruled so long. But the
manner or the advances was considered
impressive. The ease with which prices
advanced indicated. superficially at least,
a sold out and perhaps oversold market,
wSich had developed a certain i'm
munity TO bad news. II was "a market
In which II WAS hard to buy stocks when
stocks were wanted. Apparently present
holders are not only of the type tina
would see prices go considerably lower
before being frightened out. but they
are also OF the type that would also see
them go quite "A little higher before
taking their profits. This Is Just the op.
posite condition to that which prevailed
a couple OF months ago when the mar
Ret was so overbought that each new
fractional advance brought a hood OF
liquidation. In other words. the weak
Ions interest has been 'sweated out"
When the public feels the real incentive
to buy market conditions will nave n d.
rect bearing on the size OF the sd.
vances.

American smelling.

4 special letter. hy posner & Co. on
tho American smelling and Refining
Company takes an extremely roseate
view OF the prospects for the company.
After touching Oh the stability OF earn
ings during the last two years OF de-
pressed conditions the letter concludes e:
'In each OF tho four years 1871 TO
1914 inclusive the company has made
liberal depreciation charges, paid reg
ular dividends and has been BILE TO
add materially to surplus each year.
The surplus on December 81, 1871. was
sll,lts,223; it IL now $oo,525.I39. so
far as can be learned the earnings Of
the company for August were al the
rate OF about 10 per cent. for the com
mon stock. II conditions were to he
come normal In Mexico about $4,000, 900
a year.. or an additional 10 per cent,
for the common could be earned. or
between 90 and 30 per cent. These
figures appear astounding to those who
look only at past records and forget
that what they are looking AT repre-
SCENTS the results Of a lean period, while
we are now fairly launched upon an OK
tremely prosperous period. we
look at In the fact that the earnings
OF the corporation are now at a rate
mich would permit OF an 8 per cent.

THE STEEL MARKET.
D"mesiic Roads Place Contracts
for 10000 Tons Of Rails.

Domestic railroads have placed adj
dit!onal contracts for about 10000 tons
Of standard section rails. details Of which
have been noted elsewhere. There are
also Inquiries IN the market for about
$4,000 tons additional for domestic ship
ment. and an equal tonnage for export.
A. a rule. however. the railroads are
placing fewer orders for equipment than
AT any time in the last few months. The
New Jersey Zine Company is having
forty hopper cars built by the Pressed
Steel Car Company and ten by the
Steel car Company. The Grand
Trunk Is having 300 coal cars repaired
10y the American car and Foundry Com
pdny. and 1900 additional cars OF this
character may be put in the repair shops
also. The American Zinc. e and
smelling Company is taking prices on
nifty tank ears. The l.lsiu. Jolie, and
Eastern recently closed Il contract for
500 steel hopper cars with the Pullman
Company.
