Decline Resumed

Stock market liquidation, interrupted
by the partial recoveries of Tuesday
and Wednesday, was resumed with
great violence yesterday. The selling
broke out in the afte-soon after stocks
had displayed fair degree of firmness.
In the closing hour the market was in
state of complete decentralization so
far as industrial shares were concerned
Stocks were dumped overheard with ut
ter disregard of quotations and losses
ran as high as sixteen points. The
general average of industrial stocks
closed anywhere from three to seven
points off. In many cases closing
prices we're considerably below the bot
tom figures reached on the break Of
Monday. The market showed no evi-
dences of support and there was no
rally to speak of. That the selling
had been overdone was ;ndicated, how
ever, by the fact that the bid prices
of most of the industrial issues ranged
from y to 2 points above the closing
quotations,

Farm Organizations Protest
Embargo on German Potasl-

sReports from Washington state
that the National Board of Farm Or
CARNATIONS has protested against the
embargo on German potash. This or
ganization, which represents millions
Of farmers throughout the United
States, asserts that between ESQ 900
and 100000 tons of potash are needed
yearly in America if enough foodstars
are to be produced here to meet the
world shortage Of farm products. The
organization states that the continual
tlon of the mbargo contributes to the
nlgh cost of living in this country and
to the food shortage in Europe.
The embargo. it is said. is designed
solely to protect the saline potash in
dustry IN the United States. 1t is
claimed that the potash Industry in
this country cannot compete with the
German at pre-war prices, or even at
three times the price at which German
potash was sold in 1914

represents about ten times the railway
investment of any other foreign coun

Government Issues Circular
Explaining Situation Under

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Conditions
under which owners of oil properties
may operate under the organic petro-
leum Legislation now pending in the
Mexican Congress are described in q
circular issued by the Mexican DEPART
ment Of Industry, Commerce and La
Dor and published in the Mexico Citv
press, received by the State Depart
ment to-day.
The circular follows:
whereas a number of companies
and individuals interested in the petro-
.lcum industry have failed to under
stand the liberal spirit animating the
Federal Executive in issuing the de-
cree regarding taxes on petroleum
lands and leases and the advantage of
exhibiting the statements required in
the decree Of July 81, 1918, enacted to
protect the rights acquired prior to
May 1, 1917, and therefore failed to
present said statements; that as a con-
sequence of the failure to present the
statements required the interested
parties were deprived by Article 4O6 of
the decree of August 12, 1918, of the
right to perform new works of petro-
leum exploration and exploitation on
their own lands as we'll as on lands
leased by them, and therefore thew are
not able to fulfil their previously con-
tracted commercial obligations, as
has been repeatedly communicated bv
them to the Department of Industry,
Commerce and Labor
AS the constant tendency of the
government has been to promote the
development of the national petroleum
industry, the President Of the republic
has ordered that the owners or con-
cessionares OF rights Of exploitation

prescribed in the decree Of july 81.

lands and petroleum leases, be allowed
to undertake works OF petrol ex-
ploratlon and exploitation, provided
that, upon the application for the nee
essary permits from the Federal Ex-
ecutlve, said owners and concession
nalres bind themselves to accept the
precepts of the petroleum organic law
whlcn may be issued by the Nacionai
Congress.
The permits granted by this de-
partment in compliance with the fore
going order will have provision al
character, and must be rcvalided in ac-
cordance with the petroleum organic
iaw when it is enacted. To obtain
sad permits for petroleum exploration
and exploitation the applicants are re-
quired to exhibit before the Depart

mits are to be used"

No News

The break came without warning and
without any fresh news developments
so far as the Street could learn. The
market had been somewhat irregular in
| the forenoon and in the early after
noon. Suddenly around 80 offer
ings of stock began to increase and
as prices began to crumble away the
pressure became more pronounced. In
the last half hour there was a general
stampede to sell. A large proportion
of the offerings no doubt represented
fresh selling for the decline on the part
of bear operators. But at the same
time liquidation appeared in many
parts Of the list and the decline in
prices was accelerated as margins on
speculative accounts faded away.

that the reaction will be so severe that
1T will swing the pendulum far back in
the other direction. Bankers and rail-
road men generally are, however, much
impressed with the seriousness of the
situation. Many enterprises which
we're ready for launching have bee,
held up pending the outcome of the
