Mexican Petroleum. Possibilities.

The further appreciation In market
value of Mexican Petroleum shares
Is gratifying to the investment commu-
nifty. which has maintained for some
weeks past that discriminating investors
are picking out those issues most likely
to be benefited by the end of the war.
And in Mexican Petroleum's case this
Is particularly true, as Is emphasized by
Stock Exchange firm in a review Of
the company's history and Its outlook
The vital influence in bringing about
an increased value for the stock" 1t
says, 'is an approaching economic
change of tremendous proportions-a
revolutionizing of transportation con-
ditions In favor OF oil and against coal,

slider briefly the earnings and resources
OF the company. Its stock, which Is
selling slightly above 100. has earned

and Its maintenance may with reason

tinue until II IL possible to increase the
rate. The company has almost limitless
resources in oil already developed but
unavailable because OF insufficient stor-
age and transportation facilities. OF the
nearly 1000 square miles OF oil land
which 1t owns or controls the greater
part Is actually undeveloped. Most Of
its developed oil wells are capped. and
one well alone, the Cerro Azul No. I.
has capacity of about 100000 barrels
a day. All told the companys present
possible production il at least $780, 900

OIL Burning Ships.

The writer of the Mexican Petroleum
analysis points out that practically all
the new ships will be oil burners and
that the company has stations already
established in adequate number and con-
venient locations over the east and west
coasts Of both North and South America
And he quotes Edward y. Hurley, chair
man Of the Federal Shipping Board, on
the future Of oil burning vessels. An
other improvement in our new merchant
marine" said Mr.. Hurley. that will
mean much in better operation, better
seamen and better morale is the substi-
tuition Of fuel oil for coal We expect to
put 400 oil burning ships on the ocean
this year. Practically all our fabrica ted
ships will be oil burners" The enormous
advance In the price Of coal and the DIFF
hculties OF securing sufficient supplies Is
cited by the writer as one OF the rea-
sons for the remarkable future of Mexi-
can Petroleum. as the cost OF producing
crude oil has increased very slightly
compared with that Of coal. In conclu-
sion reference Is made to the troubled
political conditions in Mexico which are
certainly less troublesome than at any
time in recent years.

Rfpening Melons.

Wall Streets vineyard is full Of ripen-
Ing melons. though there is little pros
pect Of a harvesting until after peace
returns. The reason for this is Of course
the present high income taxes, though
the belief Is held in some financial quar-
ters that string Of big dividends, both
in stock and cash. will come with the
ending Of the war. In these circles II is
said that big interests are now ac-
cumulating those issues with maturing
melons attached. Among them Burns
Bros. Texas Company. Distiilers
American sumatra, Mexican Petroleum.
Baldwin, Corn Products and numerous
others are mentioned. all OF whose war
earnings have not as yet been distrib-
utsd. The Steel Corporation is even in
cluded in the list by some flnanciers, who
also point out that outside Of Bethlehem
Steel the other steel manufacturers could
easily give stockholders something in the
way Of an extra dividend. It being
thought that Bethlehem Steel will need

The attendance was somewhat cur
tailed because OF the approaching

members who had planned to attend
the convention found that their presence

sufficient force behind the opening of the
