That New Chandler stock.

And there is another feature of this
new stock issue which Wall Street has
not overlooked and which il has received
with some elation. When the new issue
is completed there will be in the
treasury OF the company some 10000
shares. There is now pending in the
courts a case upon which will hinge the
question as to whether or not income
taxes may be charged against DIVIDENDS
paid in stock. Wall Street confidently
expects that this decision will be favor
able-that the courts will decide such
dividends to be non-taNable. If. as Wan
Street believes this decision be made,
II is believed more than possible that
the directors of the Chandler Company
will see their way clear to declaring a
sicck dividend OF substantial propor-
tions out OF the treasury stock which il
will have. 1t is considered likely also
that the dividend on the new stock in
the near future will be increased from
to 10 per cent, thus paying so per
cent. on the present outstanding issue.
While directors of the company de-
clared yesterday their intention of pay
ing s per cent. annually on the new
stock, it is learned from sources close
to the management that the present
earnings are at the rate OF more than
double that amount and that 10 per
cent on the new stock will be within
the realm of possibility very soon.

Mexican Petroleum.

The demonstration in Mexican Petrol
cum which was started on Monday was
continued yesterday and bore all evil
dences of a raid on a heavily involved
short interest. There are many who
have taken the position right along that
Mexican Petroleum has been selling far
too high for an s per cent dividend
payer, notwithstanding its earnings of
nearly SIS a share on the common. stock
And they have been fighting the rise, In
tent on catching the turning point,
which they were certain was near. On
Monday and yesterday, however they
were given very bad scare and in
many cases they were forced to pay
through the nose for their hardihool. l..
The excellent report made last week by
Mexican Petroleum covering its opera
tions in 1918 was a good excuse for
those who were engineering the market
for the stock TO make things decidedly
warm for the shorts, and yesterday on
sales of more than $4,000 shares 1t ad-
vanced TO above 212, a new record high.
A great dGal of profit taking was met
when the stock rose above 21O, and
after selling around 212 for short time
about noon 1t reacted to 207, at which
point it closed with a net gain on the
day Of u points.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Tho Anticipated Rally.

Students Of the technical position of
the market had anticipated a substantial
rally in stocks during the current week,
but they were agreeably surprised at the
extent of the advances In a pre-holiday
session, which was characterised by pro-
nounced strength until the last half hour,
fhen there was a slight recession from
the days best on account of profit TAX
ing. From the start tho bulls had news
developments and 'rumors on their side,
and in many issues the shorts ran to
cover without regard to price. Not
only did the technical position favor a
rally, but the rumors, later confirmed,
had II that the labor unions would hold
back their grievances until the general
meeting of capital and labor In Wash
ington in thirty days. Then came the
news that the offerings of time money
were the largest in volume since the
entrance OF the United States into war
and the untitled tonnage statement was
unexpectedly favorable. Steel We'd with
oils and tobaccos in leadership, and the
market showed how quickly 1t can re-
spond to favorable developments.

The Oils in REQUEST.

While short covering was in large
part responsible for the sharp rise in
Mexican Petroleum to 212h, there was a
more permanent basis for the general
upward move In oils and that basis had
to do with the new and constantly in
creasing facilities for consumption of
petroleum and it's products Alphabet
ically the rise yesterday in oils on the
big board was as follows: Caddo Cen.
trail. rs; California Petroleum, Ia
Mexican Petroleum. 6&; Ohio Cities
Gas, q Pan American Petroleum. 3:
Royal Dutch, ga ; Sinclair, ia, Texas
Company 3, and Transcontinental, lS.
The last named held its gain right to
the final price, closing at 57Js, H. be-
low the highest point 1t had reached.
but Mexican Petroleum, Pan American
and Texas Company lost in the last half
hour a large part, il not all. OF their
earlier advances. Nevertheless n was
pointed ont that the oils started the m
ward movement last February and II
was predicted In some quarters that
they would provide the basis of further
moves as soon as the present trading
market should come to an end, which is
scheduled for the last week OF this
month or early in October

Coming Back for More.

Apparently believing that lightning
never strikes twice in the same place, the
Wall Street bears who have had their
fingers SO severely burned in the Crucible
corner of the last few weeks have come
back for more OF the same experience.
And they were given yesterday again a
little demonstration Of the power behind
Crucible. Notwithstanding the assur-
ance passed around several days ago
that the Crucible squeeze was over and
that tho private settlement made by
some Of the. gentlemen who had been
fighting the rise would end the battle,
many traders were afraid to touch the
stock again. But the more hardy went
right back at It harder than ever be-
neving that the contamination or the
private settlement had weakened the
technical position of the market for
Crucible to the extent that a good stiff
raid would break it score or more Of
points. Much to their surprise, how
ever. they found they had walked into a
neatly laid trap, and for the second time
In a fortnight found themselves in the
position of seeking stock where no stock
was to be had. AS consequence there
was a repetition on a smaller scale OF
the previous demonstration OF short COW
ering, In which the price for the shares
was rapidly bid UP and Crucible Steel
during yesterdays session went to within
a very few points of its former high
record, touching 1894 on sales aggre-
eating less than 10000 shares.

Chandler Motor.

The action of the directors OF the

yesterday the stock on a "a per cent.
annual dividend basis, was surprise to
Wall Street Notwithstanding the GER
tainty expressed in past weeks that an
increase in the dividend was to be
ordered. Even the most sanguine OF
the stocks supporters hardly had dared
TO hope for more than 20 per cent and
the announcement, therefore, had the
result of marking the price for the issue
