OIL Stocks Active.

leum, Mexican Petroleum. Texas Co., the
Royal Dutcn issues and Sinclair all APP
psared to be under the pressure OF
accumulation. although they yielded In
the late trading. One factor in the
buying Is the belief that drastic plans
for the protection Of American proper
ties in Mexico are under process OF
formulation. At any rate, the oil men
In New York appear more optimistic
and cheerful when discussing the Mexi-
can situation.

yesterday that plans are under consider

Wall Street who attended meetings OF
the board recently say that the plan
has been thoroughly discussed and is
about to be put before stockholders for

lon that is credited widely with making
