will assure the Georgia city professional

Maconians at the beginning OF their

that they had three cities in mind which
could be persuaded to dispose OF their

Mobile, Ala, 1t developed, was one or

president elected, treasurer to take care

where they were going to buy the fran

The Mobile m~agnates had promised to
sell. But at the psychological moment,

change hands, a new syndicate Of Mo-
bilians stepped In and bought the fran

gust, there was a sharp decline in
the new oil securities put out last
month. According to the compila-
ton of "The Journal of Commerce"
only 103 new oil companies, with
combined capitalization Of $173,345,-
600 were launched in August, COM
pared with 161 companies and an
aggregate capitalization of $5S6,2l6,-

the oil fields showed that Kansas and
Louisiana shared honors with North
Texas, the new leader, in new pro
duction.
Although oil production in this
country IS greater than ever before
consumption is increasing almost as
rapidly relatively, and the national
reserves, it is reported, are not ab-
normally large While the oil pro-
ducers are getting stupendous quan-
titles OF petroleum from the fields,
engineers and research men in the
laboratories are seeking new indus
trial uses for oil. With the present

increasing, producers are gong for

Gus consideration of the possibility

Hnent finances authorized tonight bv
Sec ecretary of Treasury Glass.
=, The success of recent issues of
treasury certificates, the cash position
and the reinvcstmcnt demand for
certificate which is expected to re
suit from the payment of large
amount Of certificates on or before
September 10 are given as causes of
the optimistic statement of the Secre-
tary. At the same time it is announced
that the interest rate on short ma
turity certificates will be reduced for
the first time in more than year
from 4la to Az per cent.
Rcfurding Avoided
All certificates maturing prior to 1920
are already provided for from tax re-
ceipts or cash on hand, it is stated This
is regarded rs an important step for
ward in the policy OF financing the re-
mainder of the war debt so as to avoid
great refunding operations by spreading
maturities and meeting them, as far as
possible, from tax receipts.
The ability Of the government to pay
its debts faster than expected has re-
suited in gaining approximately four
months time on the schedule planned
for, and probably means no more popu-
lar bond issues, even though means
have not Yet been devised to meet the
tremendous income that will be required
for the fiscal year 1920. Estimates
have recently been made on the floor of
the House that six billions would have
to be raised in some manner, the sue-
gestlon being that some bonds might
have to be issued.
Secretary Glass's letter to banks in
which the success Of Treasury ccrtifi-
cate operations is explained follows:
"lhe third scmi-monthly issue OF
Treasury certificates of indebtedness
was offered without asking the banking
institutions Of the country to subscribe
tor any specified quota. The Treasury
felt confident that these certificates
could be sold in amounts more than
SUFFICIENT to meet the reduced needs Of
the government without assigning the
usual quota to individual banking in

IN an appeal for the ratification un-

Lamont asserts that failure to get

many share the view that adoption
