Hers was a story which is much

Rafaclo Nreto, Acting Secretary Of

lay the basis for an adjustment OF

said, will not take on the character of
a bargaining procedure, but will be an
attempt to work out in a scientific. as

for not only the immediate financial
reconstruction Of Mexico, but basis

at the disposal Of the conference all
the information on Mexican FINANCIAL
and economic conditions gathered by
the Commission on Financial and Ad-
ministrative Reorganization Of the
Mexican government organized by
President Carranza in 1917. Luis Ca

and there were associated with him in
this work, in addition to myself, Mr..
PAM and Mr.. Rodriguez, all members
of Mr.. Carranzas Cabinet. Mr. Brucre
was director of the work of the com
mission. and Mr.. Lii chief accountant.
The studies which the commission
made related to all aspects Of the
Mexican financial problem and extend

perts were engaged in the work, in

staff were engaged on an exhaustive

Wall Street is superstitious. Num-
bers dazzle the eye A million
shares has significance. The mar
ket becomes its own advertisement
and the public is now in it. This
was forcibly shown on Saturday,
when commission houses, which are
usually empty during the half-ses-
sion, were more crowded than for
any day this year. 1t has long been
asserted in Wall Street, and it is
an ancient maxim, that "the public
does not enter rising market until
after the first million share day.
Prices are now high eno~gh to be
attractive. There was no greatly
favorable news over Friday night,
save that which sentiment itself Gre
ated, and the market created the
sentiment. And prices on Saturday
went up again. Trading in two
fifth's Of normal session exceeded
three-quarter Of a million shares.

Wall Street comes to be thought
Of by many of its occupants as a
house divided against itself. There
is an imaginary line. On the one
side are all the stocks; on the other
side is all the money. Sentiment on
the former side is bullish and on the
latter bearish; but that is by the
way. The point is that the folk with
the money are those who have sold
their stocks to the folk who now
have them, and the people with the
money must employ it, and therefore
want to put it back into stocks.
That is why trading can no more
come to standstll than the waters
