Oil Shares Are
Leaders i'm Rise
As Week Closes
Movement Featured by the
Strength in Royal Dutch
and Mexican Petroleum:
Rails Strong i'm Advance

Rising strength Of a number ot che
speculative oil shares served to en-
liven what had promised to be dull
and lifeless session at the Stock En-
change yesterday. The oils with a
few Of the lower priced rails, sprang
into prominence early in the dealings
and by their persistent strength
helped the whole list. The market
co,"ms c,Ssed generally se sat;nl higher on fair
Stock started out quietly and it
looked as II the market would con-
tinue In the narrow trading rut Of the
preceding day. A resumption of
active buying Of Royal Dutch shares,
which had been strong throughout the
week, injected new interest into the
market, however, and then brought an
increasing volume of activity into
other oils, notably Mexican Petroleum
and the Pan-American issues.
The move in Royal Dutch carried
high record for the year. There has
been steady absorption of this stock
for foreign account for several days.
Much of the buying has been coming
from London and Amsterdam and is
apparently in anticipation of an i'm
pending offering Of new stock to the
stockholders on an attractive basis.
Shell ana Transport, and Trading,
which is closely affiliated with Royal
Dutch was strong in sympathy. ad-
vancing more than 2 points net. The
rise in Mexican Petroleum seemed to
be in response to more favorable ad-
vices from Mexico was quite pro-
ncunced.
Texas G. Pacific railroad shares led
the movement in the rails on rumors
that plans are under consideration for
turning over it's oil properties to
new company. Among the other
strong rails were Rock Island. Chesa-
peake & Ohio, St. Paul, Missouri
Pacific, a.-d St. Louis & San Fran
cisco.
The weekly statement of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York disclosed
stronger position mainly as re-
suit Of an eincrease in gold holdings
and reduction in the total of bills
rediscounted for the account of other
reserve banks. Note circulation n
creased somewhat, however, standing
at S845,00o ,582. The ratio of reserves
to note and deposit liabilities stood at
41,4 per cent at the close of business
Friday, compared with 39.e per cent
the preceding week. The New York
Clearing House banks reported de-
crease Of about $25,O0o,O0O in surplus
reserves, while loans and discounts de-
creased more than $40,000,0O0.

A Spirit of Fairness

Up in Watertown, where the en-
ployes of the New York Air Brake
Company have been talking over GER
tain wage matters with the manage
ment, an agreement has been reached
to leave the settlement Of the workers
grievances to the shop committees"
consisting of five union men. Ave non
union men and five representatives of
the company. The committee has
adopted resolution in which it shows
a spirit of fairness in the efforts to
reach an adjustment of the demands
of the employees. The resolut on says:
Resolved, that we, the shop commit
tee, find that there is general feeling
among our fellow employees which we
represent that the company should
grant some financial consideration to
machine shop employees. We have
purposelv refrained from submitting
wage scale as we feel that the company
has just passed through an era of poor
business, and we believe that they are
better able to determine what con-
cessions they are able to make at this
time than any one else. Our spirit is
to be fair with our employer and we
believe that we are entitled to equally
fair and prompt consideration from the
company"

Concerning the Railroads

The variance in the views of the
railroad executives and bankers who
attended last weeks hearings in Wash
lngton before the Senate Committee on
interstate Commerce was the subject
Of considerable comment yesterday in
the financial district. Bankers who at
tended Fridays meeting at the Capitol
declared they had not been informed
that the committee of the Association
of Railway Executives felt that the
equipment needs of the carriers should
be financed by an enlargement of the
1000, 900 revolving fund. "We took
the view," said one banker. "that the
interests of the railroads and the coun-
try at large could best be served if the
roads of better credit went into the
open market for funds, leaving it to
the weaker roads to be aided by the
government. We believe that between
S150,000,000 and $20OO0O,0OO can be
raised this year through the issuance
of new securities of the strong roads.
Either of these sums should be ample
to pay for all the equipment that can
be built in 1920. The railroad execu-
tives stated they could use over $780,
100000 for this purpose, but | am Of
the opinion that it would be physically
impossible to spend that amount of
money in one year. BY having the
government finance the weaker roads it
would also be easier to maintain the
prices of the stronger roads securi-
ties"

Demand for Trained Men
Exceeds Supply in London

Postwar expansion of British COM
merce and banking has created in Eng
land demand greatly in excess of the
supply Of trained men for the many
new positions open to trade and finan-
cial specialists. Special training
courses, say advices to the Bankers
Trust Company from London, have
been introduced in colleges and in
some banking institutions to increase
the number of qualified men and re-
lieve the shortage. One of the largest
banks in Great Britain has established
a system of foreign scholarships" for
the advancement of its staff in ability
to qualify for higher posts. 1t has also
adopted new employment and salary
plan, with the object of attracting to
the service of the bank young men
who have shown exceptional ability in
their school and college careers.

In Wall Street
Turn in Market Predicted

Ono important commission house
took particular satisfaction in the ac-
ton of yesterdays stock market in
view Of the fact that~it has been pre-
dieting that prices would turn defin-
itcly upward between May 8 and TO-.
"a month ago." said this firm, "the
spring rise ended and in the mean
time the decline following that ad-
vance has cancelled 80 per cent of the
rally. Since April 20 the averages
have not made q new low figure since
the beginning Of this week. Mean
while the character of the trading
seems definitely to have changed with
the volume Of activity, diminishing on
reactions until Friday was the dullest
day in many weeks. All Of these
things, to our way Of thinking, furnish
technical evidence that the decline
which started month ago has ter
or is terminating and that
much lower prices than the present
are extremely unlikely. Meanwhile
the fundamental developments which
have been advertised as precipitating
crisis this month do not seem to

The Dollar in Foreign EXCHANGE

me resolution adopted at the Inter
national Parliamentary Conference on
commerce held at Paris during the last
week to the effect that governments
should Immediately take steps to cur
tail expenses. improve their financial
positions and reduce the circulation of
money indicates a recognition on the
part of European authorities of what
must be done to stabilize exchange.
With q definite understanding that
the tn troubles Of Europe cannot be ended
through the fotation of further tre-
mendous loans in the United States,
the Europeans are now stressing the
need of rigid economy. Borrowing
money here would merely defer the
day of settlement. The governme ents
now perceive the necessity of balancing
their budgets through their own exer-
tions. Provided they are able to
finance the import Of necessary raw
materials and foodstuffs, bankers feel
that the countries of western Europe
will approach sounder economic posi-
tion.
During the last week French and Bel
glan francs and lire moved steadily up
ward. but sterling showed slight net
s loss. Bankers saw, no special sig
nificance in the weeks fluctuations, al
though it was rumored that the Con
t'nental nations were seeking new ac-
commodations in London.
French authorities are watching the
American investment market. and it is
believed that France would like to get
a, new loan here in the fall about the
time the Anglo-French loan will be
paid off. Although it is clearly Brit
aims policy to wipe out its part of the
indebtedness. many observers feel that
France would prefer to get fresh credit
to supplant in part its share of the
Anglo-french operation. Frances de-
cision in this matter will be condi
toned by the state of the American in
vestment market, and, whatever hap
pens. international bankers here feel
positive that the whole of the Anglo
French loan of 100000, 900 will be paid
off on October 15.
In. spite Of the Japanese financial
troubles of the last month, the yen has
become firmer. This change is partly
reflection OF the curtalment of i'm
ports. An effort has been made to peg
the price Of raw silk at 1900 ven a
bale, which is about half the price pre-
vailing two months ago, and if the
price is stabilized Japan's exports will
probably be heightened.
If you calculate the cost Of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money at cur
rent exchange value-that is, if YOU
were buying a dollar with pounds,
marks or francs-its value at the close
OF last week, as compared with year
ago, follows:

Chinese Railroad Earnings

Preliminary figures covering the

railways for the year 1919 now given
out by the Ministry Of Communica-
tions, indicate that earlier estimates
were unduly conservative. Operating
revenues are stated as approximatinc
$82,oo0,O00, or gain of $4,000 900
over the abnormal year of 1918. Oper-
aatlng expenses, however, also show a
large INCREASE, SO that the operating
rstlo will stand at nearly 46 instead
Of 43, as it was in 1918. Operating ex-

although there was definite advanc-

Mexican Petroleum and the Pan-Amer-
