Ono novel important influence took

At o'clock Monday evening the di-

fahulously rich oil lands from the rail-
road properties Of the company. In.
stead Of permitting knowledge Of the
purpose reptitiously to seep through
gradually from the arstocracy Of the
informed TO tho democracy Of the un-
informed, the board, thinking more OF
the stockholders Of the company than
Of precedent, inm ediately made public

The setback suffered by all Of the
leading exchanges Is plainly due to the
heavy outward movement Of American
goods. The United States is still
rolling up heavy favorable balance Of
trade. Foreign exchange is being
created in much greater volume than
the market will absorb and, as usually
happcns when the supply exceeds the
demand, rates fall. OF course the
Continental exchanges are also ad,
verscly affected by the political uncer-
taintes on the other side. 1t is the
view OF eminent fnanciers that the
most important step that could be taken
toward stabilizing world financial and
economic conditions, especially as per

Allies to settle upon 8 definite figure
