Except for a brief period OF excitement
and activity during yesterdays early

to sag off after the early advance. but
the close was steady at a net gain OF
II to 81 points. with October selling at

touched at the opening. and 32.i5. the
early high level.
The market opened steady at a decline
OF to Is points under renewal of the
selling movement, which had developed
on Wednesday. The initial offerings
were very quickly absorbed by Liver
pool buying and shorts were alarmed by
the continued support from that source
combined with the unfavorable South
western weather and the favorable war
news.
The offlcial weather news held out little
hope OF an Improvement in Southwest
ern weather. while temperatures contln-
ued high both IN Texas and in Okla
homa. Exports for the day were 1901
bales, making 1882 so far this season.

BANKRUPTCY SURE
IF RELIEF DENIED
Traction Men Certain Wage
Rate Ordered Will Cut Into
Fixed Charges.

Electric railway men discussed the 10
per cent. wage increase for employees
ordered by the National War Labs
Board yesterday at a meeting OF the
American Electric Railway Association
at the Engineering Societies Building
1t was agreed by the executives that
bankruptcy IL the relief that many COM
panies will have to seek unless they are
permitted to increase fares.
Statistics were presented showing that
In 1915 the net income Of tho 1850 cleo
trio railway companies Of the United
States was 10000, 900. the gross income
S672. 100000. In 1917 the net income
had decreased to $a5.o0o,0 For the
first three months of 1918 figures for
15+ companies showed a decrease in the
net income of 94k per cent.
p. II. Gadsden. member Of tho asso-
cations war board. declared that the
awards of the War Labor Board II
applied generally throughout the country
would mean an increase OF more than
>..0.OU0,000 in the payrolls Of the COM
panies. He said this new demand would
wipe out the entire net income and alb
sorb more than SO per cent. OF the
money now paid for fixed charges.
The executives approved OF the action
OF the associations war board in recon-
mending that the Government assume
the control OF electric railway rates. The
National War Labor Board has approved
the recommendation and has submitted
the proposal to President Wilson. 1t
was the general opinion that Federal
action must taken to protect the COM
panies from financial disaster and to in
sure the continuance Of adequate public
service.'
John ]. Stanley, president Of the
Cleveland Railway Company and Of the
association, presided. Among those who
spoke were T. N. McCarter, president

OIL PRODUCERS ORGANIZE.
Fern Association to Protect In
terests in Mexico.

A group Of officials of some of the
most prominent oil companies In the
United States met yesterday and dis
cussed the new constitution which the
Mexican Government placed in effect
last year and which will work many
hrdships upon those oil companies
having property in Mexico.
Because OF tho unusual provisions in
this constitution the important oil
producers having property in Mexico, 1t
was learned yesterday. have formed an
association to protect their interests
Included among this new organization
membership are representatives Of the
Mexican Petroleum Company, the Texas
Company and some Of the small Stand
ard Oil companies.
The constitution among other things
provides that royalties received from the
production Of oil be taxed 50 per cent.
and gives the Mexican Government all
rIb-soll rights to mineral and oil prop
critics. The Government also issued a
reclamation requiring all oil COM
nnies to file nranifests OF the property
hsy own and from whom purchased,
tosether with other details upon the
penalty Of having the property declared
free II the order is disobeyed.
Some Of the larger oil companies are
upected to issue q statement in the
Immediate future outlining the gravity
Of the oil situation in Mexico owing to
the provisions OF the new constitution.

RAILROAD REPORT A PUZZLE.
National Railways of Mexico IL
sues Confusing Earnings.

sues CONFUSING Earnings.
Tho report of tho Ferrocarriles Ma
cionales de Mexico. otherwise known as
the National Railways of Mexico, issued
yesterday. covering operations for the
year ended June so. 1917, is complete
as to figures. tables. exhibits and state
ments. but the proverbial Philadelphia
lawyer would ind extreme difficulty in
reading the voiuminous document and
getting anything of value or interest.
As far as earnings for the year are
concerned. they cannot be figured out
with any degree Of accuracy, In spite
OF the minute details which every table
displays. The reason for this condition
Is that the returns from the first five
months Of the year are given in paper
currency. while the remaining seven
months earnings are stated in terms of
Mexican gold. Inasmuch as there is
wide disparity between these two
forms OF currency. and inasmuch as the
paper currency has been practically re-
pudiated by the CarranEa Government,
II Is impossible to determine what the
actual earnings of the FIRST five months
were. From November to June, now
ever. gross earnings were S27,270,57s
Mexican gold. while operating expenses
aggregated 32o,750vpss, leaving net earn
ings for the period OF SS,520.iss.
