Mexican petroleum and Texas company
each 4. Renewed talk Of Mexican dis
turbances induced caution and there was
some selling of stocks with interests below
the border. Toward noon there were some
material recoveries from the low levels
aud a few shares showed positive strength,
notably International Harvester.
Speculative sentiment on the stock exchange
was rather mixed at the opening today
and while price accordingly reflected this
condition, variations for the most part were
only fractional either way u 5. steel was
trifle lower while some of the independ-
ent shares improved. OIL stocks also were
without definite tone but the movement
here was more pronounced. Mexican pc
troleum losing points and Royal Dutch
gaining more than 1. Later the tendency
became rather actually downward, Atlantic
Gulf and Studebaker each losing 4 points
and General Motors 3.

PUTS BAN ON HOG YARDS
Wyandotte Pens Guaranteed by State
Live Stock Commissioner.

Kansas City, Kan, June "a
quarantine on the hog yards of Wyan-
dotte county to become effective to-
day, has been issued by ]. H. Mercer,
sanitary livestock commissioner for
Kansas, who charged the Kansas City
Stockyards company with attempting
to monopolize the hog serum business.
The price which the stockyards
company charges for vaccination of
stock feeding hogs is said to have
given rise to the controversy Mercer
charges the company with arbitrarily
fixing price in excess of that ordered
by the Kansas sanitary livestock COM
missioner.
1t is thought probable an agreement
may be reached to allow the stock hog
business to continue, pending settle
ment of the differences, however.
