Vote to Increase
Stock of Sinclair
Oil and Gulf Cos.
Action by Stockholders
Paves Way for Merger;
To Be Third Largest
Producer in World

An important step in the projected
merger of the Sinclair Oil and Rein
ing Company and the Sinclair Gulf Cor
poration was taken yesterday, when
stockholders of both companies ap-
proved the proposed increases in their
aggregate capitalizations from 2OOO,-
900 shares without par value to 4,5OO,-
600 shares of no. par value The con-
solidation will be made complete
through the acquisition of the assets
of the properties by the recently or
ganized Sinclair Consolidated Oil Cor
poration, which has q capitalization of
100000 shares of no par value. The
merger will be made operative through
an exchange of stock of the two exist
ing companies into that of the new
holding corporation, it is understood
on a par for par basis.
Captain Theodore Schulz, son-in-l law
of William B. Thompson, was elected
a director of the Sinclair Oil and Rein
ing Company yesterday. Colonel
Thompson is already director of the
Sinclair Gulf Corporation and is also
one of the organizers and on the board
of the newly organized Sinclair Con-
SOlludCcu COIpOTatlOn. w lun the COM
pletion of plans now under way the new
Sinclair company, it is stated, will be
the third largest producer and refner
of oil in the world, being surpassed
only by the Standard Oil and Royal
Dutch properties.
The new company will have aggre-
gate oil holdings of 100000 acres and
an oil refinery output of over 100000
barrels day. The acreage is divided
as follows: United States, 100000
acres; Mexico, 100000 acres; Cuba,
100000 acres; Costa Rica, 100000
acres; Panama, 100000 acres; Colon
bla. 3,500,OOO acres Pipe lines al
ready laid and in process of construc-
tion will give the company a direct
route from Chicago to the Gulf Of
Mexico.
Announcement was made recently
that the company had entered the East
ern territory and would erect on 44O
acres of land at Bayway, on the Staten
Island Sound, new refinery at cost
of 'S2,00O,000. Other rcfneries are to
be built later near Boston and Phila-
delphia. One at Wellsville, N. Y, was
recently obtained through the acouisi-
ton of the Union Petroleum Company.
An export station is located at Marcus
Hook, Pa.
Among the banking interests identi
lied with the Sinclair Consolidated Oil
Corporation are the Guaranty Trust
Company, the Chase Securities Corpo-
ration, the Central Union Trust Com
pany and the Chase National Bank.

British Government
Sells A mericanI
Securities Here
Disposal of Part of Billion
Dollars Worth Held in
New York May Help to
Sustain Exchange Rate

Slight selling of American securi-
ties for the account of the British
Treasury was reported in Wall Street
yesterday. This was interpreted to
mean that the British authorities had
decided to feed stocks and bonds of
American institutions into the open
market to help correct the foreign ex-
change situation.
AS a measure of war finance the
British Treasury modified several bill
lions of American securities, and about
81 900, 100000 remain to be utilized.
Some international bankers believe that
Great Britain will cancel part Of her
debt to this country through the sale
of securities, although they realize
gradual to prevent breaking the mar
ket and lessenirg the value of the Sc
curities.
Sterling exchange rallied again yes
terday, and its recovery was said to
be due largely to short covering. Many
dealers thought that the decline up to
Thursday noon had been too precipi-
tate. Sterling cables closed 1T $439
They had been quoted as low as $426A
tne previous day.
Bankers sought % avoid making pre-
dlctlOns about future rates of ex-
change, but few contended that the de-
cline of quotations on London had been
more than temporarily arrested. In
some quarters the position was taken
that the discount on European ex-
changes would tend ultimately to put
world finances on more economic
basis, some saying that the premium
of the dollar would discourage exports
to countries whose credit structure had
been shaken by the war and would in
the long run encourage imports, tend
ing to reduce the cost of living in this
country.
A broader market for marks had been
established, and the volume of dealings
is characterized as large. Cables on
Berlin were weaker than at any time
since trading in them was resumed
last Tuesday, The closing quotation
was IA cents. Officers of the leading
banking institutions denied that any
substantial progress toward the ex-
tension of credit to Germany had been
made. The sum of 5000, 100000 has
been mentioned as the amount sought
by inquirers from Germany.
Reports that arrangements for
large credit to Poland were nearly
completed were denied Bankers said
that it was unlikely that any sizablc
credits would be extended until the
peace treaty was nearer ratification
Well Informed financers estimated that
Poland would need S5O,00O,00O within
the next twelve months. If Polish
bonds are offered in this country, ac-
tive support from the Poles here is
anticipated. Before the war, it is said
Poles used to send 100000 from
this country to relatives in Europe
every year.

weak on the decline, but the pressure
extended to the equipments. oils and

When sterling exchange made a Wig

to more than 10 cents in the pound. it
was limited that arrangements had been
made by the British Treasury to ship
cold to the United States. The bank

The Loan Account

The Stock Exchange loan account is
estimated to have expanded to more
than $500, 10000 since January
When the money committee relin-
qushed control in January loans ag-
gregated around $650,oOO, 900. Many
of the largest commission houses show
an expansion in their individual ac-
counts of rs to 100 per cent. With
such an expansion of loans some
houses are making it rule not to
allow their clients to increase their
holdings of long stock. That is to say,
if customer wants to buy 100 shares
more of stock he must sell 100 shares
of something else. In view of the
loan situation there was expectation
yesterday in many quarters of another
warning from the Federal Reserve
Board
