Discounting Easier Money

Brokers who believe that the mar
ket is on the eve of rally that will
last until after election are advising
their clients to watch the course of
prices closely this week and to take
advantage of reactions to buy stocks.
In these quarters it is argued that the
industrial list may go higher prin-
cipally on short covering. As to the
rails, the majority opinion is that they
have by no means discounted the full
effects of the freight rate increase and
the constructive features Of the new
railroad law.

Mexican Petroleum

Mexican Petroleum shares were un-
affected yesterday by reports from
Tampico that salt water had been
struck in one of the company's new
wells in what is known as the Amatlan
field. Telegraphic advices to the New
York offices were to the effect that the
company's we'll, No. l, in the new
Zacamixtic district, was still flowing
spasmodically, the rate of flow being
estimated at $4,000 barrels daily
Earlier reports estimated the flow at
10000 barrels. No mention was made
that salt water had been found.
New-York tribune., 1920-10-14
Copper Shares Weak

A drop in the price of copper yes
terday to l6s4 cents a pound by some
important producers and the know-
edge that one of the leading COM
panies had undertaken new financing
to raise new working capital were con-
sidered unfavorable developments in
the industry, and considerable selling
of the copper shares resulted. Utah
was relatively weaker than Anaconda,
however, despite the fact that the lat
ter has borrowed S25,0OOO0O by selling
an issue of Series B bonds. The opin-
ion in the trade is that the downward
tendency of prices will continue and
that curtailment of production will
be necessary to ultimately stem the
tide toward lower quotations.
New-York tribune., 1920-10-14
AlliB-Chalmers

Allis- Chalmers incoming orders are
reported to have held up remarkably
we'll during recent months. In August
it is stated that the company booked
nearly $3,2Oo,00O Of new orders and in
July over $2,50o,6oo. 1t is estimated
that September will show about
S2,O0O,000 Of new business. In other
words, the company's incoming bust
ness is at about an annual rate of
$50, ,0Q0,0 900, which is within 10 or 16
per cent of actual capacity. In the
six months to June 80 Chalmers
shipped to customers total of s13,-
689.7o3 of apparatus, an annual rate
of S27.379, 400. The company on July
81 had nearly SIS, 100000 of unified
orders, an increase of $3,734.O0O com
pared with untitled orders of s15,866.-

Dividend Unchanged

Sears-Roebuck directors yesterday
made good the promise that no change
in the dividend rate would result from
the company's new financing operation
when they declared the regular quar-
terly disbursement of per cent. At
the same time an income account for
the six months ended June 80 was
made public, showing net earnings of
charges, but before providing for ed
eral taxes. This compared with $685.
760,502 for the corresponding period
of 1919, $22,185,011 in 1918 and s18,-

Preparations by the banks to meet
the heavy financial operations of to-
morrow were responsible for rise in
the call money rate yesterday to 10

Sc CREE WILSON
SOMETERA LA LIGA
PRONTO AL SENADO
Borah no piensa como la ma
yoria republican, que de-
be haber alguna Liga

Un despacho de Washington infor
ma que los republicanos irreconcilia-
bles aseveran que la election pone fin
a la lucha sobre la incorporation de los
Estados Unidos la Liga de naciones,
opinion que no es compartida por los
otros republicanos, los cuales dicen que
este no fue el principal t6pico de la
campafia. En- concepto de estos tiltimos,
los Estados Unidos entraran finalrnen
te la Liga, quizas despues que ell plan
Sc haya fnodificado en- gran parte por
Root Taft, Wickershan otros.
La question que Sc debate ahora
entire los senadores es 81 Ell presidente
devolvera ell tratado a la pr6xima Sc
sion del senado para sugerir que sea
ratificado con las enmiendas de Lodge
y hacer un llamamiento al partido pa
ra que las apoye en- la forma que ha
sido rechazado en- la session de prin-
cipios del afio.
No hay indication de como proce
dera ell presidente EN- la materia. AL
gunos piensan que ell presidente esta
imperterrito en- la derrota y que urgira
la ratification del tratado la Liga
antes de abandonar ell cargo; ell tratado
no puede volver al senado excepto que
10 devuelva primero Ell presidente.
Los republicanos pro-reservistas
que no convienen con los irreconcilia-
bles republicanos tienen esperanza de
que Ell presidente sometera Ell tratado
al senado para darle una oportunidad
de discussion en- presencia del referen
DUN. Esta decision daria al senado re
publicano una oportunidad de defnir
sus puntos de vista antes del cambio
de administration.
Sc observa que ell grupo de repu-
blicanos pro-reservistas, especialments
en- 10 que sc refere al articulo x, es-
tan en- mayor nlmero que los ire
conciliables, es decir, que no aceptan
la entrada de los Estados Unidos en-
ninguna forma en- la Liga. Por otra
parte, ell grupo irreconciliable esta tan
fuerte en- Ell nuevo senado como en- ell
anterior. Sc habla, no obstante, de que
ell seador Knox puede trabajar de acuer
do con Root para llevar a cabo una
hga de naciones modiicada, en- cuyo
case la oposicion extremista Sc debili
tara. Ell grupo de la oposici6n 10 for
man los senadores Borah, johnson, NC
Cormick, Moses, Brandegee, La Folle-
te, Poindexter, Reed Shields.
El senador Borah ha hecho la ST.
guiente declaration: ''El voto abruma
dor por la plataforma republican, fue
ell dictamen del pueblo de los Estados
Unidos contra la Liga cualquiera
alianza o combination politica con los
poderes europeos. La liga fue la ma
terra discutida, durante tres sema-
mas no Sc oyo hablar de otra cosa. Ell
presidente clara terminantemente pre-
sent6 la proposition de la Liga en- sus
tlltimas entrevistas con ell publico Cox
hizo su apelaci6n final por la Liga.
Los grandes diarios dem6cratas die
ron al pdblico repetidas veces que un
voto por la plataforma republican, sig
nificaba un voto contra la Iiga. Los
EIiots Fishers y Person salieron
del partido porque este estaha contra
