perche' su di un giornale americana

The Market

Mexican government bonds proved
easily the feature of the market in
listed bonds at the Stock Exchange
yesterday. They moved ahead with
reat vigor and the upturn was ac-
companied By fresh reports, entirely
unofficial, that the Mexican govern
ment is preparing to resume payment
Of interest on its defaulted obliga-
items. Dealings in the Mexican 5s
we're especially heavy and they rose
from an opening Of 46 1-6 to a high
Of 4s, ssgging off at the close to 46A
which compared with a close of 45 u
the day before. The As rose from 35
to So and then yielded to 35. Ths
rest Of the general bond market was
fairly active with a good deal Of ir-
regularity in the price movement. In
the railroad department the action of
the new Northern Paciic-Great North
srr joint 61as stood out prominently.
These bonds sold as high as 9712,
but closed at 969s. Interborough re
finding % hardened at the close after
Yselding 20 533s- Swiss government
ss rose to 1o412 at the close. Another
strong foreign government issue was
the Japanese government sterling 4
per cent loan, which moved from 91s
TO 70 on an active turnover. The last
tine these bonds moved up the buy
ing came largely from the Japanese
government, which was making pur-
chases for sinking fund requirements.

Committee Formed to Look

Following the announcement from
Tulsa, Okla, yesterday that the Gilli-
land Oil Company had been placed in
receivership, preferred stock holding
interests formed a protectie commit
tee, consisting of Theodore G. Smith,

committees depository and Edward
Cornell it's counsel.
The action of the creditors in bring
ing receivership proceedings, it was
said, grew out of recent sales by the
company of its Louisiana and Burk-
burnett properties, the former to the
Foster Oil Company and the latter to
the McMann Oil Company. 1t was also
alleged that the company's affairs were
being mismanaged by John w. Gilli-
land, president, and the majority
stockholders.
New York banking interests con-
nected with the Gilliland organization
stated that suits will be brought to
tion of property already transferred.
1t was claimed by the New York inter-
ests that parts of the company's prop
critics were transferred without the
knowledge or consent of the New York
directors.
Mr.. Gubelman, who was in Canada
on his summer vacation. was informed
by his Office here of the recent develop
