LEAGUE MEETING
Idiana Convention to Be In
Nature of Jubilee
Celebration.
BY MARY T.. NITON.


The annual convention o. the IN
diana WOman's Franchise league
Will be held at the Claypool hotel in
indianapolis, April s, and g. This
convention, like the national session
held in Chicago last month will no
doubt be the last convention held
by the Franchise league as such and
for that reason -fill be in the nature
Of a jubilee celebration. Indiana
women are confident that by early
April the suffrage amendment Will
have been ratified and further work
Of the league will have 10 be or
ganzed along altobether different
lines of endeavor. II is thought by
many women interested in the
league that the organization should
continue as body at least for the
present for the PURPOSE of arousing
interest of women and educating
them 20 be intelligent participants
in public affairs.
There are factions which contend
that the league should merge itself
into a partisan league Of women
voters, which should have as it's
main object a non-partisan Organi-
zation 20 keep the women together
for the purpose OF accomplishing
effectively work for the legislation
of special interest to women and
children and for the enactment or
laws for the advancement of all.
Advocate New Party.
Some workers advocate the or
ganizatiOn o. an Independent politi-
cal party for the women voters. but
this plan although not definitely
discouraged by the Indiana league
has not as yet received any official
sanction from the state league
Still a great number Of influential
Political leaders are des.rous Of
having the women affiliate with one
Of the political parties rather than
10 oppose themselves as "a party TO
one Of the oldest of political insti-
tutions of national policies
All matters that VIII affect the
permanent organization OF the
league as a body associated for the
better interests Of women voters
and workers viii be executed at
the convention in April.

Security Prices
Continue Upward
On Small.Turnover
Indications That Profession
ais Who Sold Thursday
Bought Back Yesterday;
Money Is Tight Again

Following its burst of heightened
activity on Thursday the security mar
ket yesterday reverted to the dullness
which has characterized the weeks
trading. With transactions only
slightly more than half as large as on
the previous day prices surged upward
for the most part, despite the preva-
lence of irregularity.
The recovery, which started Thurs
day afternoon, after the vigorous SELL
ing movement earlier in the day, con-
tinued yesterday. The trend reflected
no significant change in the industrial
situation or in the credit market, but
was mainly an expression of the belief
of professional traders that the market
had become temporarily oversold. Spec
ulative operators in quest of rising
prices, who liquidated on Thursday, in
some instances bought back their hold
ings yesterday at lower prices. and
there were indications of profit-taking
through covering by shorts The re-
gaming of losses was made in the face
of a continuation Of money rates vary
ing between 8 and 10 per cent.
Many additional reports of Septem-
Der earnings of railroads were made
public and revealed the expected in
creases in gross earnings. Although
the gains in net earnings are not pro-
portionately large, thfs is not surpris-
ing. Some railroad executives do not
expect the real position Of the roads
under the new scale to become visible
until November, when it is anticipated
the matter Of intrastate rates will be
settled. Moreover, the roads are
spending large sums on maintenance,
which makes comparisons with last
year unreliable. Moreover, it is known
that the roads carried some freight in
transit in September at the old rates.
In spite of these qualifications the re-
ports were not discouraging, and in
some quarters were interpreted as
favorable influence. The rails moved
upward with the rest of the market
and Southern Pacific was especially
strong.
Mexican Petroleum led the recovery
of the oil stocks and after the market
closed E. L. Doheny, the president OF
the company, spoke in optimistic terms
regarding the company, indicating that
this years profits would be the largest
thus far and that next years would be
so per cent larger.

Doubt Big Copper Sale

Reports yesterday that single lot
OF l5O.O0o,000 pounds of copper had
been sold at Is cents a pound were
doubted by some of the leading selling
agencies, who upon inquiry found no
evidence that such a transaction had
taken place. IL was linted in these
quarters, however, that there was
disposition in some parts of the trade
TO view 15-cent price for copper as
sufficiently low enough to warrant
speculative buying, and that undoabt-
ecly purchases of this character were
now going on. Buying is in small lots,
and according to we'll informed MEM
eers OF the industry there is yet no
evidence that big b4ying movement
IS imminent. This lack Of concerted
buying power has resulted in offerings
OF the metal recently as low as 14A
cents a pound

Mexican Stocks Strong

The persistent strength in Mexican
Petroleum and Southern Pacific yes
t,rday was said to be caused partly
by rumors that the government at
Washington is about to recognize the
present Mexican government Although
it was generally felt that such an act
by the Administration at this time
would have a political motive behind
it, traders, nevertheless, saw the specu-
lative possibilities in those issues that
would be directly affected. National
Railways of Mexico, a comparativel y
inactive security, was generously Lought
End sold as high as II. on the rumors
that recognition of the present Mexi-
can regime is imminent. Among the
wire houses that sought information
from Washington concerning the re-
ports, one received this reply: "The
Mexican situation is looking better
ano / believe will steadily improve,
and while friendly exchanges will con-
tinue do not think the full recognition
sS~ many are talking OF now is very
rear"

In Wall Street
Mexican Petroleum Earnings Up

Edward L. Doheny, president Of the
Mexican Petroleum Company, in con-
versation with newspaper men, de-
clared yesterday that the annual report
for the current year, which would soon
become available, would show the larg-
est earnings ever made by the COM
Ianv and predicted that next year
earnings would be so per cent larger.
The improvement next year, he said,
would be due to the fact that the con-
tracts covering the sale of oil in that
Eeriod were made on the basis Of cur
rent high prices for oil, whereas be-
fore many of the deliveries were made
ora the basis of old prices. In some
Instances, he added, tn, new price for
oil would be four times that which the
company has received on the oldest
contracts. Mr.. Dehcny added that the
entire output of the company, which
IS ablc to deliver about 100000 bar
rels of oil a month, had been con-
tracted for for the next year. He spoke
optimistically about future develop
ments in Mexico.

Advance i'm Wheat
Follows Decline
In Farm Offerings
Holding Movement Having
Some Success in Scattered
Districts: Market Still
Unsettled; Exports Light

The holding movement on the part
Of wheat farmers is apparently meet
ing with some success, at least in
scattered localities. and the total re-
ceipts at primary points SO far this
week have fallen off 1000 bushels
from last week
The grain trade is inclined to be
sNeptcal about the ultimate success
of the plan, but the absence Of pre-
sire from the farms has had a tendency
10 check aggressive selling and has
caused more uneasiness on the part Of
december shorts in Chicago. The mar
ket as d whole, however, showed little
real stability, and after an early adj
vance of nearly DC bLshel prices re-
acted and at the close were 17ac TO
80 &c net higher.
Export sales for the day were about
100000 bushels, principally to Belgium
A decline of 314 cents in the Buenos
hyrca market and reports that tne
frosts which occurred he1s on Thurs
day were ! ght ard not considered Sc
rious served to allay fears O. crop
damage in the country, and were large
ly responsible for the reaction which
occurred in values.
The export trade, IS vi ole, was in
clined to take q rather less favorable
view of the situation. Reports Of large
stocks in Great Britain discouraged d
hopes Of the British commission com
ing back into the market in the near
future, and apparent efforts on the part
of German interests to resell wheat
and rye here led to unfavorable fnan-
cisl developments in Germany.
In the local cash market No. 2 red
and No. 2 hard were quoted at S294A
E. j. f. track, New York.

"Sounr Takes Lead

Southern Pacific pranced to the
front of the market like real
thoroughbred yesterday. Il not only
led the market in point of activity,
but also showed a net gain of 2 points
at 101. 1t sold as high as 101A.
Southern Pacific has in its market ac-
ton lately, so the keen market obser-
vers say, shown evidences of accumu-
lation. One house, in particular, is
understood to have taken en- heavy
line Of long stock, having been
a steady buyer for several days. One
of the reports in connection with the
vigorous strength of the stock is that
the directors plan to increase the
dividend on the stock to 8 per cent
in the near future. The present rate
is 6 per cent. The road could easily
increase the amount of its distribu-
ton to stockholders. Disregarding
government compensation. the COM
pany earned in the year ended Decem-
Der 81 last, 500 per cent a share on
the stock, 1896 per cent in 1918, while
in 1917 it reported 1855 per cent.

United Fruit Stock Dividend

Talk of United Fruit stock divi-
dend will not down. 1t was revived
yesterday after the encouragement
that the directors will hold a special
meeting next Monday, instead OF wait
ing until the next regular meeting of
the board on November s. The ST ok,
which had a sinking spell earlier in
the week on reports that a stock divi-
cend dec caration was not ;mminent, be-
came strong again yesterday and sold
up to 2221a, within striking distance
Of the years high. The price reccded
at the close, however. to 2191a, where
a net advance Of point was scored.

Standard Oil Of Indiana

Declaration Of $50 per cent stock
dividend by the Standard Oil Company
Of Indiana is understood in the fnan-
cial district to be only one step in a
general plan Of recapitalization, which
may also include the reduction of the
par value Of the stock, possibly to SO
share. Action along this lie would
require sanction by. the stockholders.
Commenting on the stock dividend just
announced, r. w. Stewart, chairman Of
the board Of directors, was quoted in
Chicago dispatches yesterday as say
ing: Our capitalization has been out
Of line for long time and the decla-
ration OF a stock dividend was Il step
toward correction of that condition.
That company with properties which
represent an investment of S1S5, ,O0e,-
600 should have capital stock to the
amount of only about one-sixth that
sum is absurd. Low capitalization
gives false idea of the extent OF
earnings and when expressed in per
centages creates an impression of in
ordinate profits and arouses sentiment
Our action will tend TO. bring about 81
better understanding of the magnitude
Of the corporation and the true rela-
tlon OF its earnings to the capital in
vestment 1T represents"
