Against violent Fluctuations.

Following so closely the latest warn
ing of the money committee that specu-
lation should be more tempered the
antics OF Mexican Petroleum in the last
two days have brought forth severe crit-
cism from the better element in broker
age circles. 1t is pointed out that Next
can Petroleum's violent fuctuation gives
the stock market an unnatural appear
ance. and Is virtually waving the red
flag In the face OF the Federal Reserve
authorities. Those who condemn this
stocks performance think the Stock Ex-
change should take some measures to
prevent further Wild movements, though
they admit they do not know just what
steps should be taken to accomplish this
On the other hand the people who know
something of Mexican affairs declare
that the cleaning up Of Mexico will in

WEEKLY METAL REVIEW.
Government Demands Exceeded
Production Last Week.

Government demand continued In ex-
cess OF production the past week, ton
mage ALLEGATIONS consisting chiefly OF or
ders for cars, rails and barbed wire for
shipment to France. The requirements
for shell steel are also heavy. Operations
OF sheet mills are still restricted by q
shortage of steel bars. while structural
steel plants are virtually limited to
Government orders.
Scarcity OF labor has prevented ship
yards from using the full allotment OF
$4,000 tons OF steel weekly and the
amount released. estimated at 10000
to $4,000 tons will facilitate completion
OF other war work.
Influenza has retarded iron and steel
production somewhat, Its effect being
particularly severe in Eastern territory.
The blast furnaces have suffered more
than the steel mills. Notwithstanding
the prevalence OF the epidemic, the
United States Steel Corporation was
able to report ingot production for the
week mt 80 per cent. OF total capacity,
and the output OF blast furnace products
at more than 81 per cent OF capacity.
These figures compare with 80 and "a

Big Increase In SURPLUS,

Surplus reserve OF the Clearing House
banks at the beginning of business yes
terday, according to the weekly state
ment, amounted to s1SS.777.7lO. with the
exception of June 20 the largest since
December Is, 1917. The gain was s104,-
1850, accounted for by the S40.3S0, 900
decrease in demand deposits and the
$s7?sS.oo0 increase in cash reserve with
tho Federal Reserve Bank. The position
of the banks, which 10 regarded as highly
favorable, was aided by the increase in
Government deposits OF nearly S2s0.000.-
600, to s474.3Sl.o0o, against which no
reserve is required. The shift In the
financial position OF the local banks WAS
due TO the use Of certificates OF indebt-
edness to make tho first Payment OF 10
per cent. on the Fourth Liberty Loan
and the cash reimbursement OF the banks
from their customer subscribers. So
long as the Government permits such
huge deposits TO remain with local banks
there will be. bankers say. a temporary
ease in money. In accordance with the
wishes OF the Treasury Department and
the decision of the money committee
mercantile. commercial and governmental
agencies VIII get the use OF the greatest
part OF these funds and the credit for
speculative purposes will be kept to as
small a mapimrm Is possible.
