BOND MARKET SHOWS
SOME FAIR ADVANCES

NEW YORK, December ALI
classes of bonds got some benefit
from the sharp turn for the better
on the stock exchange. The improve
nent was comparatively light in
liberty bonds and in other investment
issues, but on the other hand quite
marked in bonds OF the semi-speculative
class. which are more or less sensitive
to speculative changes in stocks.
The buying Of Mexican government
issues was vigorously resumed, es-
pecially in the 5 per cents.
The call for the deposit of the
Mexican As, made simultaneously in
this country and IN the foreign capl-
tails. has met with ready response,
but the result of the curtailment of
the free supply Of these bonds was
shown by their comparative inactivity.
on the other hand. the Mexican IS
had not been advertised for deposit.
hut the effort seems to have been
to pick them up in the open market
on as large Il scale as possible. This
| buying has proceeded by fits and
starts for the last two weeks
The orders have been handled by
New York houses in close touch with
Mexican affairs, who are counting
upon the new ton making
good in Mexico. upon this being fol-
lowed by recognition from Washing
ton. and then upon big Mexican
| loan fioated in this country. AS these
Mexican IS carry five years back in
terest, that is. rs points. and are
selling in the market around 40 to AS,
they have a very attractive specula-
| tive future because it will undoubt-
! eddy be one of the provisions or a
Mexican loan that not only should
=, there be a refunding of the debt. but
OF all past due interest as well.
| Government Issues.
| Among European government issues
| Belgian 7ks were stronger at 9s
| while there was continued pressure
| against the City of Zurich IS, which
! carried them down under 95. These
bonds are now off nearly 5 points from
their top, which is the worst showing
yet made by any of the recent govern
ment and municipal quotations.
| Railway bonds, except the convert
ibles. like the Southern Pacific, were
relatively dull. AS against the slight
fractional losses Of yesterday the list
| showed as a rule small fractional
gains. New York, Westchester and
Boston 4hs were an exception. They
went lower despite the turn for the
better in, New Haven stock. with
which they would ordinarily be sup
IDosed to sympathize.

QUESTION VALUE OF
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, December 2 Especially.
was much conflict of opinion
as to the real value of Southern Pa
cific in the light Of the terms of the
segregation plan made public last
evening
Experts in the various Wall street
houses were busy figuring this morn
ing. but their conclusions were widely
at variance.
One man thought that the plan for
divorcing the oil lands was simply an
excuse for financing the road without
going into the open market for the
funds. This expert compared South
ern Pacific as railroad with Atchi-
son to the disadvantage OF the former
and declared that Southern Pacific as
a railroad, ex-oil lands, is not worth
az much as Atchison, but rather near
er Union Pacific on IS basis.
Another man took the view that the
oil lands now sold for $4,000. 900 are
worth in excess of that amount and
| that potentially they may some day
be worth "a great deal more. Disre-
garding the potential worth. he esti-
| mated that the oil lands are worth
at least $2J a share, and the Asso-
ciated Oil stock worth 81 share
more, giving the Pacific Oil stock q
| valuation of at least s32. The disap-
| pointment of the street in general was

ern Pacific on the tape, and this
gradually eased off from an opening
| of IS decline to 3l2 points within

List Grows Stronger.
| After d time the market ignored the
! fluctuations in South Pacific and gave
a good account of itself. There were
many ready buyers awaiting the slight
1 est encouragement to acquire stocks
on any favorable Indications.
| After an hour of uncertainty and
some weakness the list started forward
| under the lead of the oil stocks, Pan
| American and Mexican Petroleum.

QUERY FROM FARMERIABoR
 CANDIDATE FOR HARDING

San Francisco, Oct. 24.-As means of relieving what he described as 'des- perate situation" faced by the farmers of the western agricultural districts, Farley F. Christensen, farmer-labor party can tiidate for president, in a telegram sent today to Senator Warren c. Harding, asked the republican presidential nominee
 if he compared such a measure to the
 protection afforded the railroads in the
 Esch- Cummins act.
 The telegram said:
 My tour throuhg the western states
 has made it apparent to me that the
 farmers of the great western agricultural
 districts are facing a desperate situation.
 Corn is down to about fifty cents. Wheat
 is dropping The farmers, seeking relief
 from conditions that were certain to fol- low the war with the falling of wartime prices have been igored by the present administration I am moved by these considerations to butte you as candidate to succeed the head of that administra- tion, the following question: 'fYeu voted against government opera tion of railway and in favor of the Esch- Cummins act guaranteeing the owners of the railroads against loss and insuring them of profits of at least 6 per cent. on their nineteen billions of capital. without even squeezing the water cut 'sWould you approve of a measure sim ilarly guaranteeing the farmer against loss on his crops?
 'sWouid you approve measure insur- l ing profits to the farmer upon his actual | investment tho watered stock, or do you feel that the farmer is not entitled to the same consideration at your hands as aFs | the railroad oWners?"
