NEW YORK. September Especially.
The stock market at the opening
this morning continued rather soft
and just where it left off on Friday
evening, but later advanced into
new high ground in all departments.
The oils were the leaders of the
market, due to the announcement
that the Mexican Petroleum Company
has increased it's dividend from SO
to $12 This brought about a buy
ing wave in all the shares. with the
Mexican Petroleum got above ITO
easily. while the Pan-Americans.
Royal Dutch. Shell Transport, Texas
Company and the minor members of
the group were in good demand
The steel stocks were. not far be-
ease All members of this group
showed a good gain in the early trad
ing, Steel common getting up close to
81 on heavy transactions.
The chemical stocks did not do
much either way on the announce
the big companies. National Aniiine
was the only. active member of the
eroup. and it f1uctuated within a mar
row range.
The railway stocks. just like on
other days, were neglected while the
buying was going on IN the industrials.
although when dullness settled down
on the industrial list the professionals
switched into the rails. However, this
old not last long. s.a. !.
Around midday the market showed
an irregular tone. Baldwin was. the
favorite at this time. and got above
III.
There continued to be quite few
traders who sat around waiting for the
market to get weak. as they have been
waiting for the past week or more.
However. 1t can be said that the SEN
timent was rather more cheerful and
the fact that the renewal rate was
again placed at per cent. as on Fri
day, helped quite bit in Keeping up
this cheerfulness.
bonds SLOW. Firm.
Actual trading in bonds on the stock
exchange was rather dull, although
the price level established last week
was maintained, There was a good
demand for some. Of the railway is
sues. the Peoria and Eastern Income
Week soid at u. were in good demand
today at 80. Others OF the same class
were also in demand, There was little
change in the government section,
but the traction issues continued
strong.
Oils Move Upward.
The Mexican oils continued to be
the market leaders in the last hour,
Mexican Petroleum getting up above
III on the news that Washington had
sent a note of protest to Mexico City
on the confiscatory oil policy of the
Carranza government and demanding
that these laws be changed SO that
American oil companies be given
fair chance for development.
Baldwin also continued strong, as
did the rest of the market, although
it was somewhat duller than in the
earlier part of the session.
There was no change in the call
loan rate. the quotation being held at
per cent, and as the demand in
creased the offerings of funds also
increased.
