February I Maturities

Whether or not investment market
conditions are at present propitious for
new financing operations, the fact re-
mains that several important issues
neust be provided for this week
if defaults are to be avoided.
February l maturities, concerning
which no official announcements have
yet been made, include $22,500,000 note
obligations of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad and $5,000,OO0 Hooking Valley

year per cent notes of the Remington

pany will be paid off, while an issue
of s15,Ooo,OOO one-year per cent notes
Of the Westinghouse Electric and Man
ufacturing Company have already been
refunded. An important railroad ma
turity falling due early an March are
$25 100000 two-year per cent notes

that this issue will be financed by a

Cotton

Further recovery took place in the
cotton market yesterday. with the buy
ing for May delivery especially active.
A good part of this demand emanated
from spectators, who had previously
sold for the decline, but at the same
time houses with Liverpool connections
as we'll as brokers acting for various
trade interests bought.
May contracts sold up to 2f.54. an
advance of ~ points and closed at 81 20.
The top price represented an advance
of $3.50 bale from the low quotation
touched Friday Net gains for other
deliveries ranged from 43 to SO points.
The removal of restrictions on the
use Of money by Wall Street houses
led to the expectation of larger trad
ing in cotton as we'll as stocks by the
customers of leading firms.
The French Commission was credited
with buying March contracts and SELL
ing for May and July delivery, pre-
sumably transferring hedges to the
later positions. The volume Of these
transactions was large enough to sug
gest that good deal of cotton is held
in this country awaiting shipment to
France. When the tonnage is avail
bic it is expected that the cotton will
be moved out and the hedges covered.
Traders could see little in the goods

CarranZa Refuses
Big Oil Company
Permit to Drill
Foreign Owners of Mexican
Properties, Fearing Con-
fiscation, Are Expected
to Appeal to Washington

nat American oil trade interests he
lieve to be the first definite stem toward
complete contiscation Of foreign-owned
OIL properties in Mexico has been taken
oy the Carranza government in refus-
ing to grant a permit to the Huasteca
Petroleum Company, the largest pro-
queer IN Mexico and the operating end
OF the Mexican Petroleum Company.
Ltd, for drilling new we'll on it's
property in the State of Vera Cruz. At
the same time an application made by
lhe company to have the matter placed
oe1ore the Mexican Federal courts for
review has been refused, it is stated.
Men close to the operating situation
IN Mexico asserted yesterday that the
present policy. of the Carranza govern
ment. If persisted in, means fight to
the finish between the American and
other foreign oil producers in that
country and the Carranza regime. 1t is
understood that the Mexican petroleum
interests are already considering Law
partment at Washington in hopes of
having pressure brought to bear upon
Carranza. Edward L. Doheny, head of
the Mexican Petroleum Company. held
long conference yesterday with the
company's counsel at the local offices.
The latest action of the Mexican gov
ernment, taken despite the vigorous
protests of all the foreign producers in
the republic, is accepted by local oil
producing interests to mean that Car
rama intends to carry through his plan
for the naturalization of the oil and
mining industry in Mexico. Carranza
has long been trying to compel the oil
producing interests operating in that
country to recognize the government as
the owner of all sub surface rights.
The oil interests have refused to do so,
and the crisis which has developed
through the refusal to grant a drilling
permission to the Huasteca Company is
the result. The government gives as
its reason for refusing to grant the
company right to drill the fact that the
latter has not complied with the de-
crees issued by Carranza requiring the
filing of an application for license to
operate.
Other foreign oil companies are said
to have been refused permission to drill
on their properties, so that the pros
poets are that unless Carranza is forced
to back down all new development work
in the Mexican fields will be brought
to complete standstill.

Relevant Comment
With the Market Set Free

Those who came down to Wall Street
yesterday looking for buoyant rise in
prices as a result Of the removal of the
money market restrictions were dis
appointed. What happened was this:
Prices generally advanced at the open
ing and some sharp gains were re-
corded in issues in which there was a
large short interest. But after the
shorts had covered their outstanding
lines the demand slackened and prices
eased off again, the range of prices at
the close being more or less irregular.
United States Steel common, which has
been heavily sold for the decline for
weeks by traders who regard it as
peculiarly vulnerable to bear attacks,
furnished some pyrotechnics at the
opening, when 10000 shares changed
hands at SO to 81, or q to 7s points
above Fridays closing. But afterward
the stock languished and it sold finally
at 919s, net loss of Y point for the
day. Approximately 10000 shares Of
Steel common were traded in, while
the total transactions for the day were

Offerings of bills on the principal
