Alaskan Petroleum.

The petroleum produced in Alaska
Is derived wholly from a single pat
ented claim in the Katallo oil field, ac-
cording to the United States geolog-
lcal survey, department Of the interior.
The old wells on this claim and the
refinery were operated as usual in
1918. Two new productive wells were
also drilled in the Katalla field. The
total production in 1918 was some

May Sanction
Joint Accounts
In Arbitraging
First Step Taken Toward
Renewal of Active Re-
lations Between London
and New York Markets

In anticipation of the expected re-
sumption of arbitragc DEALINGS be-
tween the New York and London stock
exchanges, it was learned yesterday
that the local board is considering the
reestablishment Of the so-called Joint
account system, which was abolished on
April 20, 1911, because it was then the
Judgment of the exchange that trad
ing of this character was an infringe
ment of the commission law.
The action taken by the British
Treasury this week in lifting the re-
strictions in dealings in foreign Sc
curlties, in the opinion of brokers with
international connections, marks the
first step toward the resumption of ac-
tive relations between the New York
and London securities markets. which
we're temporarily ended by the war.
But 1T is felt that before trading can
ne carried on in comprehensive way
both the members of the New York
and London exchanges should be per
mltted to again establish the "joint
account"
1t is not believed that the recent ac
ton of the British Treasury presages
an early reestablshment of arbitrage
transactions between New York and
London, although it is a step in that
direction The chief difficulty at
present is the fact that in the British
capital trading is still on wartime
or cash, basis. When this has been
eliminated and the fortnightly settle
ments have been put in force, trading
IN international issues will probably
begin immediately.
In view of the prospect of the intro
ducton on the New Yosk exchange of
a large number of foreign securities, it
is the opinion of brokers who have
made special study Of the subject
that resumption of arbitrage deal
lngs should be handled by an interna-
tionai conference committee consisting
of representatives of the New York and
London exchanges. The appointment of
such body is considered strong
probability
The reso luton adopted by the local
exchange in resembling that part of
the constitution allowing arbitraue
trading on the Joint account" basis
follQws
"Whereas, The so-caled arbitrage
business by means Of joint account
trading between this exchange and for
eiSn citleS, Where each party interested
charges commission or Allowance has
resulted IN practically multiplying the
