Taking in Hides.
by BROADAN WALL.

New York, Feb. 4.-Higher prices
were seen in the stock market again
today with the railroads surprisingly
strong. Tobacco stocks and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit were higher. Hide ana
Leather was barely steady. while the
motors were nearly all net higher at
at the close OF the day. There was
some profit taking during the session.
but the buying power of the market
seems to be growing greater as a re-
suit of the removal of the loan re-
strictions.
Profit taking made its appearance
particularly in Hide and Leather pre-
ferred, which has enjoyed a
great advance in the last month This
selling resulted in a decline of two
points from the high price of the
morning and the stock closed at the
low figure.
Tobacco Products made another new
high record. This company is inter
ested i'm an important deal which
should mean materially higher prices
because of the benefits to come to
stockholders.
Mexican Petroleum continued strong
in spite of the widespread effort to
depress it by IumoTs. 1t appears that
the professions are shifting their sup
port to Texas Oil on account of the
political trouble in Mexico and the
new wells coming in in the Texas
field. Persons familiar with the Mexi-
can situation are not alarmed over
the outcome.
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was a strong
feature throughout the day. closing at
the top price.

After Mexican Trade.
Reports of British orientation in
Mexico are contained in a dispatch
from Trade Commissioner Edward +.
Fecly at Mexico City. made public
yesterday. The dispatch says:
1T is interesting to know that
British banking interests are or
ganizing bank of discount for
foreign trade which Will also un-
dertake to guarantee or insure
foreign credits. keeping closely in
touch with conditions in foreign
markets through resident represen-
tatives.
1T would seem that the estab-
lishment of such an institution in
the United States would not .only
be a profitable investment. but
would also be of the greatest as
sistance to our exporters; espe-
cially to those who are not eNpe-
rienced in foreign trade. and who
hesitate to enter the field direct
for lack of acquaintance with
banking methods and credit condi-
tions abroad. Its services could be
made especially valuable in res
spect to Mexico"
L. (. Exporters In Danger.
Mr.. Feely's dispatch was in con-
nection with trade conditions in the
Southern republic and. according 10
his view. American exporters are in
danger from foreign competition un-
less they extend the credit which
the British are Offering. His dis
patch says:
1T is certain that the bulk of
McXico's import trade will be done
in the future on credit basis.
Our proximity will give Us a GER
tain advantage in competition
with European manufacturers. but
the latter have the distinct ad-
vantage of entering the field pre-
pared to extend credit while
American manufacturers and cx-
DOrtcrS. with hut few exceptions.
are still trying TO maintain the
cash basis which has prevailed
throughout the war"
An announcement last night by tn.
War Trade Board indicates tha
American exporters soon will have
sufficient tonnage to combat British
trade expansion in Latin America
where already. according to advices
received here. a campaign TO VIII
the markets Of Americas Southern
neighbors is well under way.
This announcement states that the
allotment of shipping made BY ths
Shipping Board for the cast coast

be sufficient for all the cargo which

future for these markets. and. such
being the case. preference procedure

MANAGER DIAMOS OF
NOGALES THEATRE OFFERS
A BIG SHOW TO-DAY

The famous plays of Victorien :
Sardou, the great French play
wright. served as starring vehicles
for such talented players as Sarah
Bernhardt and the late Fanny Daven-
port of many years. The picturi-
cation. of several of the more nota-
BILE of these plays by the Famous
Players-Lasky Corporation with
Pauline Frederick as the star, has
attracted much attention everywhere
and chief among these in point OF
beauty and effectiveness, is "Fedo-
ra." which will be shown at the Mo-
gales Theatre today.
This is an unusually strong photo
play, and the story affords Miss
Frederick one of the finest portray
ais of her career in the silent drama.
1t is a story of Russian love and po-
litical intrigue, and, like most of
Sardou's creations, the theme is in
tensely tragic. The story concerns
a Russian princess whose fiance,
Count Vladimir Androvitch, is slain
by Loris Ipanoff, jealous hus-
band, and she pursues the supposed
murderer to Paris, where she obtains
a confession from him, or rather, a
complete justification. She finds
herself in love with Ipanoff, whom
she had sworn to bring to justice.
only after she had placed the polite
on his track, and after she had
caused the arrest of his brother in
Russia as an accomplice.

FRAMEWORK OF LEAGUE

IS GREATLY GRAT|F|FD
FEELS he HAS WON GREAT VICTORY
Omitted Press servioe.)

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The usual Sat-
urday plenary session of the Peace
Conference was postponed to permit
the "peace bureau" to speed up work
on the formation of the League of
Nations,
The belief is expressed that it will
not be necessary for President Will
son to return to France a second
time, as the peace delegates are
showing a marked tendency to ac-
cept the practical application of his
fourteen points. A parties, inclua-
ing President wilson, are anxious to
hasten the work.
SIR. Wilson feels that he has won
the most important victories, and
that future decisions are to be made
in accordance with his principles. 1t
is expected that the teamwork of the
League of Nations will be complet-
ed within very few days.
I Special comittees on international
labor legislation, and reparation are
meeting today.
