Mexican Stocks.

The news from Washington that the
Government Is planning to take deter
mined steps to protect American prop
factor In revivlng interest in the So
called Mexican shares. These include
half dozen oil companies which own
considerable property below the Rio
Grande and one or two OF the larger
smelling companies. That some drastic
action IN Mexico would be necessary and
would eventually be taken has been the
opinion of officials of virtually all the
big corporations that operate In the re-
public. Until affairs do become stable
in Mexico these corporations naturally
had an interesting story the other day
about the attempt of several of the large
oompanies. including the Mexican Petro-
leum Company, to prevent periodical
robbery of their paymasters. 1t has oc-
CURED so often with several that some
corporations commenced TO believe It
was a habit with the bandits. One rea-
son for the ease with which they were
plundered was the fact that the pay
ma ster always had to make long trips
through the jungles with the gold in
which employees are paid. So the cor
porations. through the State Department,
petitioned that they be allowed TO use
airplanes to transport these payrolls to
the interior. The request is said to have
been CURLY denied by President Car
rama. who declared he would allow no
American airplanes on Mexican soil.

Industrial Alcohol.

II was learned yesterday from a
source close to the management of the
United States Industrial Alcohol Com
pany that the usual 4 per cent. quarterly
dividend would be declared at the meet
ing scheduled for Thursday. This is out
OF line with what Wall Street has been
expecting especially in view OF the fact
that some S6.000,oo0 or 100000 OF
financing is TO be done by this company
In the late summer or early fall months
While II Is certain that et least one more
4 per cent. dividend Is to be paid the
prospects are not so coed for the imme-
diate future, say those who know some-
thing OF the corporations affairs. Indi-
cations are, 1t was stated, that a cut OF
at least per cent. in the quarterly divi-
dend will be made at the November

CANADIAN RaiIroad s.

News from London revived the report
yesterday that the Canadian Govern
ment will soon take steps to nationalist
It's railroads completely. n came by way
of the London Stock Exchange. where
securities of the Canadian railroads
were in strong demand, following a re-
port that the Government had resumed
negotiations looking to the taking over
OF the Grand Trunk and other roads.
The news had an effect on the market
in, the Canadian Pacific, traded In here.
and the stock showed an advance OF
IA points on a handful Of sales. 1t is
reported that the Canadian Government
plans. in its present negotiations, to re-
tire the outstanding Canadian railroad
securities and Issue new ones. which
would be in effectAGovernment bonds.
The plan is particularly advantageous
to security holders, but there have been
grave doubts expressed up to this time
that II would go through.

steel Rail bids.

The steel industry as a whole is taking
little more than a casual interest
in the order for 100000 tons of steel
rails for which bids will be received by
the Railroad Administration to-day. The
gossip in the trade Is that the producers
will name prices ranging from s45 to
s4S a ton on Bessemer and open hearth
rails. Prices bid on the order placed in
May were at these levels, but despite
the general Improvement In the industry
no steps have been taken by any lool-
ing toward price reductions. and none is
likely In the immediate future. Yester-
days action in the steel group was a
market movement pure and simple, with
the conditions In the industry itself
merely the background.

about the rate received as II is to be
kept busy. An abundance OF funds was

with call money going begging some Of
the larger institutions and out OF town
lenders are turning to the time money
market for relief. Several million dol
lars were loaned at per cent on mixed
collateral and. So per cent. on all indus
trial collateral late in the day for the
three, four and six months periods. One
institution placed 100000 for an out
OF town correspondent at the low figure.
The fact that, the stock market is quiet
and that brokerage loans have been con-
siderably reduced during the last week
has led to the belief that the money
situation IN not an important factor in
stock market operations. The wide
spread prediction on which some COM
mission houses have already shot up in
terest rates TO customers. that money
would be scarce and high in August, has
not come true

The tremendous depreciation In the

Tremendous demand among the loan

coo needed have already been obtained
The attitude of automobile owners
outside the city seems to be TO lc,
Oklahoma City do most OF the work
Wood says, burden which this city
will be unable to bear alone.
The new bill you'd tax automobiles
on the factory list price instead of on
the rated horsepower, and would tax
trucks on a tonnage basis. 1t will re-
snlt in practically every case in an in
crease of 100 percent in licenses and
in some cases 800 or 400 percent
Woods says.
The defeat of the road bill make,
il imperative that this bill be revoked, y
Woods said this morning. Our fight
was started in anticipation of such a
contingency. Had the bill passed, the
tax might have been more endurable
because we could have thought that
part OF our money was going for the
good OF automobile men in the state"
