CAR COMPANY TO
SPLIT UP MELON
Pressed Steel Car Plan Is to
Increase Common and Re-
tire Preferred.

The directors Of the Pressed Steel Car
Company have decided, subject to the
approval of its stockholders. to make
the company's capital stock of the au-
thorized common class and retire all of
its preferred stock. They plan also to
increase its common stock 800 per cent
and to pay a go per cent stock dividend
on its stock outstanding. The company's
stockholders were informed of the plan
in a circular sent them by the manage
ment In connection with the notice OF
the annual meeting to be held on Feb
ruary 16, when the stockholders will act
on the proposal.
"The directors believe" the circular
reads, that the interests Of the stock
holders and of the company would be
best served IL all Of the outstanding
stock were common stock of the same
class. They therefore recommend that
an increase Of the common stock of the
company from 12.500.000 to $4,000. 900
be authorized by the shareholders. OF
this increase $12.500.000 par value
would be set aside for the purpose Of
issuing one share Of such common stock
in exchange for each share<of preferred
now outstanding and S5,000.0o0 par
value for the purpose Of enabling the
directors to declare a 20 per cent. stock
dividend upon the common stock, which
stock dividend participation would be
enjoyed by those preferred stockholders
who had seen fit TO convert their pre-
ferred stock into common"

COTTON.

Cotton futures continued yesterday
under pressure and they showed a net
decline Of 80 to SO points at their lowest
level and closed within a few peints Of
the bottom. on 25 to IS points. Local
spot cotton was of a cent a pound, or
SO points, to 1916. Throughout the short
session the market indicated that new
buying power was lacking. the only sup
port worth while coming from local or
outside shorts who covered for over the
week end. That buying made no i'm
preston except for short while in the
second hour. when 1t caused a recovery
of 20 to 25 points from the low. Sellers
yesterday were Liverpool, Southern and
Wall Street interests. further liquidation
originating among the last named.
March was relatively weak before the
session was an hour old and reflected
long pressure.
Although there were several construc-
tive factors. they. seemed to be more or
less ignored. Marshall Field & Co. re-
ported an active week so far as the
amount of sales, the volume of which
was larger than it was during the SINH
lar period of the previous record year
1920. Other dry goods houses reported
ITaulITtS DTlSkeT, Fdll IslNtf OuSilitso
continued good An important bearish
sentimental factor was the heaviness
shown by securities during most Of the
session. which probably promoted part
Of the Wall Street liquidation.
After the active list had opened un-
changed to 90 points net lower the mar
ket met heavier selling, and by the end
of the first hour showed a loss of 20 to
40 points. Business was animated at
times and generally mixed. Sentiment
on the floor. which has been badly mixed
of late, was distinctly against the mar
ket, and it is felt by many that should
the drop continue it would turn decid-
edly bearish Not few bulls appear TO
be losing heart, but the majority call the
recent downturn only natural and the
forerunner of sharp upward move
ment to new highs. Rallies were poorly
maintained and offerings increased on
all bulges. The final tone was some
what unsettled.

MEX1CO CITY. May 1S.-'BeWare
the fate OF Francisco Madero. who
! failed to heed solicitations to change
his policy, and fell.' was the warn
ing sent to President Ohreson last
night by liberal MEM
bers of the chamber of deputies and
the senate. This warning was con-
tanned in a memorial drafted at

lists. and it made pointed charges
that p. Elias Gales. secretary of the
interior. and Adolfo de la Huerta.
former president. and now secretary
of the treasury. had attempted 10
cause disaffection against the oore
gon administration. The document
was signed by 13S deputies ana sew
eral senators.
Referring to the necessity OF fres-
Immediately, the memorial said:
IN connection with the INVASION
of the chamber of deputies by rad
icals last week the press has pub
lished your statements, which are
almost identical with those made Of
ficially by the confederation OF syn,
dicated workers. You have stated
the attack was of small importance.
but this is statement which is at
absolute variance with all the con-
ceptS of society.
Former President Warned.
! In conclusion. the memorial de-
clared that Francisco MaderO's friends
were convinced of the disloyalty of
some of his alleged supporters. 1t
said these friends had visited Ma
dero in 1913 and had told him 1t
was necessary for him to change his
policy.
But Madero," the memorial went on
confident of his popularity, blind in
his incapacity to conceive of wrong,
and sure of the loyalty of those who
were represented as disloyal, needed
not, and within d month there was
begun the most prolonged tragedy
this nation has ever known. At this
moment members of the Mexican con-
gress who have signed this document
call upon you to make a supreme eff
fort that history may not be repeat
ed and place at your service their
loyalty and patriotism and their
wishes for the prosperity of the ma
ton"
Secretaries Gales and de la Huerta
were charged with attempts to use
their offices to propagate radicalism.
