OIL CASES TAKEN UP.
BY MEXICAN COURT
Retroactivity Of Nationaliza-
ton of Deposits to Be De-
cided Within a Week.
BIZ The Associated Press.

BIZ the Associated Press.
MEXICO CRY, Aug. 24-The tempo
rary injunction suits brought by foreign
oil companies against the Government.
totalling more than $50. and some OF
them pending since 1918. were brought
up in the Supreme Court here late yes
terday afternoon for a hearing. but the
court merely placed them on the docket
and Immediately went into private
session to discuss them. Most of the
suits were brought after the decree of
former President Carranza ordering all
the companies to manifest their holdings
or make them subject to announcement
was issued.
1t Is understood that arguments by
the Government and the oil companies
attorneys will be concluded within two
days and 1t Is expected a decision will
be rendered late this week or early next
week. The Mexico City newspapers say
they understand the decision will clearly
define the Supreme Courts opinion as to
the retroactivity of Article "a of the
constitution under which the oil deposits
of the country We're nationalized.
Negotiations looking to an agreement
for conference between American oil
men and Mexican officials were UNDER
taken by George #. Summerlin, the
United States Charge d'Affaires here,
upon advices from the State Department
In Washington. it was understood here
last night. Mr.. Summerlin began pre-
liminary conversations regarding the
proposed conference on August 8, and II
was announced on Monday night that
a number of the principal executives OF
several large American oil companies
would arrive here next week to meet
Government officials.
Mr.. Summerlin Is understood to have
suggested to the Foreign Secretary that
such conference might prove means
for reaching an amicabie settlement OF
petroleum problems. When the Secre-
tary said such O. conference would meet
with President Obregon's approval the
necessary arrangements were made.
Reports current here state that the
initiative was taken by the American
State Department, which communicated
it's opinion to the oil men and met with
q ready response. Optimism over the In
ternational situation increased here yes
terday and predictions were made that
recognition would be extended by the
United States as soon as the oil ques-
tion was settled, which, 1t was believed,
would be before the middle of Septem-
ber.
1t was said the American oil men would
first meet Adolfo de la Huerta, Secretary
of the Treasury, and later would confer
with President Obregon.

THE hope OF the steel trade that the
fan will bring q noticeable increase in
buying amounts to something less than
confidence as yet" the Iron Age says in
its weekly review of the industry, "but
there are Indications of slowly expand
Ing demand for some forms of finished
steel. The best basis for better expecta-
tions is an increase in the number of
orders coupled with more urgent call
for early delivery. Producers of steel
see more signs Of using up stocks that
have long stood between them and any
thing more than hand-to-mouth opera
ton. and are encouraged to look for a
gradual decrease in the scale of their
losses"
The Iron Trade Revieto says:
New inquiries coupled with modest
volume buying are tending to sustain the
feeling of optimism in the iron and steel
markets Interest in pig iron Is more
prone dnced than last week, while trading
in finished steel products continues al
most unchanged. Mil operations In the
Mahoning Valley decreased slightly. but
the relapse Is offset by the improved con-
ditions in other steel centres.
Although prices of certain grades OF
pig iron appear to be firm, the quota
tions have remained at standstiii dur
ing the week. The composite market
average of the IRON Trade Revieto, based
on the selling prices of fourteen iron and
steel products. remains unchanged from
last week at S36.03. This compares with
s35.S2 on August 10, s3s.14 all Of July,
and s41.S7 for June.
Hugo SHINES has sold a small ton
mage OF cotton ties in the United States
and German manufacturers closed an
an order with Cuba for several hundred
tons of rails rolled to American specifica-
tions. Interests in Mexico and the Orient
have bought 10000 boxes of tinplate at
prices under $5.25 Pittsburgh. A Japa-
nese agent placed recently orders for
1000 tons of plates, 400 tons OF shapes
and 1900 tons OF rails.
1T is reported by cable that an Indian
frm representing Dorman Long G. Co..
Middlesbrough, England. is the low

FRANCE TO TURN 1921
DEFICIT INTO SURPLUS
1000, 100000 Francs More
RcUenue Estimated.

A budget defict of 3,s47, 10000 francs
in 1921 Is to be transformed next year
into surplus of S7.ooo,000 francs under
the proposed new French budget The
new estimates show proposed normal
and extraordinary revenue of more than
1000, 100000 francs In excess of this
years estimated receipts and expendi-
lures are to be lowered by about
1900. 100000 francs. Those facts were
given out yesterday by the Bankers
Trust Company's French information
service. Increased returns from present
taxation and doubled tax on business
turnover. the latter a new feature, are
anticipated.
The following table gives a compari-
son Of the budget for the two years:

The budget places Frances total debt
at 264.341.0o0,000 francs, OF which
1926. 100000 francs. or about 13 per
cent. is foreign debt. Against that
amount is credited 1900. 100000 francs,
owed by other nations to France. and
thus leaving the total debt at about
$50, 900, 900. 900 francs.
