LATE REACTION
in BUOYANT DAY
Stocks Make Net Gains on
News from Front and
Berlin Rumors.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Oct 16.-Stocks were SO
enthusiastically buoyant during most
Of today's session that traders con-
cluded to take profits in the last hour.
The result was sharp reactions in
nearly every active issue. These re-
actions did not. however, in many
cases wipe out the gains Oil stocks,
rubbers. motors, electric issues and
standard rails all advanced. The
steels and copper were dull most of
the day. Corn broke cents a bushel.
War news was even better II possible
than 1t had been for several days.
1t included important advances on
the battle front. peace riots I'm Ber-
lin, and reports that Germany had ac-
cepted Americas latest terms.
Mexican Petroleum naturally at
tracted most attention because of a
nine-point upward movement Just
when the street was expecting a re-
action. 1t was accompanied on this
move by Pan-American preferred with
a rise of more than eight points
Pan-American common, which is on
the curb, rose nearly four points
Mexican Petroleum is controlled by
Pan-American through ownership of
the stock and >of all the ships neces-
sary for taking the oil TO market.
Mexican Petroleum scars
Mexican petroleum has now had
an extreme advance Of IS points
since it struck its low point of 81
last December. 1t was paying IS
share dividends then. The in
siders gathered it in to such an
extent on that decline that it is
easy to move II now to any price
their fancy may dictate.
Other oils and public utilities

In the motors the star performer
was Maxwell The pool that made
the big movement in IL two years ago

and the stock may be expected TO
take its place among active trading

of the day had lost about half of this.

OF that, whereas the common, that
had moved upward 23-4, lost but a

lively much stronger marketwise than
