COTTON FUTURES
STEADY AT CLOSE
General List Shows a Net De-
cline Of From 35 to
60 Points.

The cotton market was extremely ner-
vous and unsettled during yesterdays
trading. Weakness In Liverpool. com
bined with reports from tho domestic
goods trade that prominent merchants
did not look for full normal or pre-
war distribution at prevailing high prices
seemed to be largely responsible for the
further decline. while II anything ner-
vousness was increased by reports from
Washington that one of tho Southern
congressman would INTRODUCES bill to
amend section OF the cotton futures
act to prevent delivery Of tinges and
stains on futures contracts. March con-
tracts sold OFF to 262Oc.. or SO points net
lower. and closed at 26.54n,. with the
general list closing steady at n net de-
cline OF S5 to GO points.
The local market opened firm. with a
decline OF &c points to an advance OF 6
points and the near months relatively
easy.

RUBBER ENOUGH IN SIGHT.
Colt Says Reduction in Tire Cost
Depends on Cotton.

Samuel =. Colt. chairman OF the board
OF directors OF tho United States Rubber
Company, yesterday gave out state
ment In which he declared that the price
of tires will be reduced only when costs
OF commodities, particularly cotton, have
been materially reduced. Col. Colt said
In part:
Wages have risen TO a high scale and
hope that prices will be maintained
sufficiently high TO give n fair margin
OF profit without disturbing the wage
scale, at least until tho cost OF living
has returned to normal. Certainly the
policy OF this company will be to main
tain wages so far as possible.
During the coming year l do rot an
ticipate any great advance in crude rub
Der, believing that the increased Con-
sumption OF the world will be amply
taken care Of by the stocks that nctu-
INFLATED in the Eas. caused by the re-
strictions Of the United States Govern
ment and the full production of all plan
tations. II was considered in the East
that there were held in the markets and
on tho plantations some 90. 600 tons. and
that amount, considered with the
prospective output OF 1919 of approx
mately 100000 tons. will supply the
needs OF America and countries against
| which embargoes existed during the war.
"The transportation from the East "a
America has been ample. hut restrictions
prevented the exporters from taking adj
vantage Of that situation. We expect
| freghts TO remain at about the present
level, at least for u considerable time, and
bottoms will be available as the in
creased cargo Is offered. In other
words, look for shipping to get back
to normal before great while"

The first thing involved In the con.
troversy between the oil companies and
the Mexican Government Ia the effort Of
the Government to take over all petro-
leum in the republic. In 1854, before
the companies had acquired their proper
Ties or had developed oil. the Congress
n Mexico enacted a law under which the
owners OF the soil were expressly de-
clared to be also the owners OF all pc
troleum in the subso!l. For thirty-three
Years this remained the settled law OF
Mexico. and the oil companies made
their investments on the faith Of It.
They acquired their lands and leases
tot by concession from the Government.
but by purchases from the land owners
themselves, who had the legal right to
dispose at will OF their lands and the
underlying petroleum. Then. by Article
II OF the Constitution. which became
effective May I. 1877, the Government
assumed to deny the title OF private
owners and TO claim at its own al!
petroleum within the boundaries OF the
republic. The CarranZa Government
early in the present year undertook by
various DEGREES to put into effect this
article of the Constitution, which met
With strenuous objection by the compa-
MES on the ground that It was contisca-
ton.

'Fifty per cent. Of their share In the

Others
Five per cent. OF their production

export tax. be based upon an arbitrary

In all of the negotiations that have

the position that they will not acoui-

that they will insist on full and complete

Government TO adopt its own policy with

Committee Denies American

TIE executive committee Of the Asso-

statement yesterday expia ming the posi-
ton Of American oil producing interests
in Mexico and setting forth tho compa-
mes reasons for opposing the unjust
legislation which the Mexican Govern
rent is seeking to enact in order to oh
tain full control OF American owned
property. The committee denies that
American oil interests are willing to pay
rentals and royalties TO the Mexican
Government, which would mean recogni-
ton OF Mexican ownership of lands
which Americans purchased in good
faith from private individuals. The
companies think that taxes being paid
10 the Mexican Government are eNor-
bitlnt and without parellel in history.
Yet President Carranza proposes TO add
greatly to their BURDEN. The statement
