Weekly Financial Review


New York. January 24.-Extreme weak
ness Of foreign exchange and another
advance of interest and discount rates
to highest points ever ordered by the
federal reserve bank were of themselves
enough to effect an irregular reaction of
quoted values in this weeks duh stock
market
The break in exchange, which caused
leading remittances to fall below all pre-
vious levels of depreciation, was again
mainly nrecipitated by trade balances un-
favorable to this country. The move
ment doubtless received further impetus
from enforced liquidation here and
abroad.
Efforts OF the central bank to release
frozen" credits evidently apply to forN
eign bills no less than to better known
and more negotiable forms of financial
accommodation, which have been SUBJ
jected to speculative influences.
Shorts had the best of the weeks op-
erations insofar as losses exceeded gains,
but hurried covering was occasionally
noted in some of the high-grade indus
trials and specialtfes controlled by pro-
fessional interests.
In the important lines of industries pro-
duction continued at high pressure. State
ments of the United States Steel and the
Bethlehem Steel companies, covering the
final quarter of 1919. are to be issued
next week. They are expected to throw
an interesting light upon labor condi-
tions during that period.

The Officers Are Real
Men

When the average investor makes
an investment in an oil company,
he wonders who is guiding the COM
pany through to success. 1t is al
ways well to investigate thoroughly
before investing, then you will know
that Your investment has been a
wise one. What could be better
than to- invest thousand dollars
into small capitalized company
with valuable lease holdings in the
greatest oil fields the world has
ever known, to also know that you
have been a man that has the in
sides to make good.
B. r. Pace, the president of the
Homer Bayou Oil Company, will give
every stakeholder one hundred per
cent action for his dollar. He will
invest the money wisely and care
fully. We all only ask for fair and
square treatment The man whom
the big work will fall upon is Pace.
He is an oil man from Oklahoma,
with great deal of oil experience
to his credit He can boast of a
successful past. His record will
not be marred by handling a ven
ture that he himself is not vitality
interested in. Then invest your dol
lars with his and watch the Homer
Bayou Oil Company grow to be one
of the strong independent oil com
panies. W. L. Harris, business
man of Thornton, Ark, is secretary
and treasurer.

now goes to the people. Labor per-
haps never was In more independ-
ent condition and the more work

gress II the bonds carry, so that In
the meantime the situation may clear
very materially. Again the election
we are informed will be held right
after the taxpayers have received
their tax notices and had the priv
ilege of appearing before the board
of equalization, so by that time each
taxpayer can figure out Just what he
wants to do. Again the Bamberger
administration promised to reduce
the taxes. Three years have passed
and it has very materially raised
them each year. This may be the
year Of jubilee and the promised re-
duetion may come. II so that will
help. At any rate 1t is up to the
people. The great majority will
want the roads naturally. Some will
want the bond voted now at any
cost and. some will not want them
at any hazard, Others while con-
ceding the value OF III, improvement
will not want to sell the homestead
to accomplish 1t under existing con-
ditlons and the final will depend on
the result of the ballot box. One.
fellow is entitled to his poinion as
much as the other and his motives
should not be inquired. The col
umns of this paper will be open for
discussion for and against, and we
invite contributions to both sides of
