Directors Regard Outlook for
Passenger Business En-
cOuraging

After the regular monthly meeting
of the directors of the international
Mercantile Marine yesterday state
ment was issued saying that the out
look for passenger traffic was good.
The statement follows:
"It was stated that the net earnings
for the year 1920 after payment of in
terest on bonds and allowance for de-
probation would probably slightly ex-
cecd the estimate made by the hoard il
November, 1920 = namely, $780, 900
which would We about is per cent on
the preferred stock.
1t is impossible at the moment to
make any forecast for the year 1921
as, due to the reduction in export, the
freight sivuation is unsatisfactory, but
the passenger situation, although it is
much disturbed by the immigration
complications, is encouraging"

Gulf Oil 7s Show Fair Recov-
cry at 81; Brokers Report
Increasing Public Interest
iii Stocks

The movements of prices on tho curb
market yesterday was irregular, re-
ilecting mixed tone, with conflicting
currents of buying and selling and no
definite trend. At the outset some sell
ing appeared. but subsequently enough
buying appeared to steady the list.
Curb brokers reported an increasing
public interest in the market. Oil
shares, however, are not nearly so
popular as they were year ago and
the curb market in these descriptions
is much narrower affair as result.
A heavy turnover in bonds featured
the outside market. Gulf Oil Is, SELL

serving thirty-eight months. Joseph

to have been the heaviest loser when
it failed. Charles Schwab and other
financial leaders were among the stock
holders who lost.

GREAT BR|TA|NHAS
GONE THE LIMIT
SURPRISED THAT IRELAND RE-
SUMEs THE QUARREL.

London, Aug. 19.-Lloyd George
in the house of commons and Mar
quis Curzon in the house of lords to-
day told the British parliament that
the government had gone the limit
in its offers to Ireland. The govern
ment has gone to the extreme limit
in concessions in Ireland, Marquis
Curzon declared. The only possible
criticism of terms is that they are
too generous. We have offered all
that is possible without compromis-
ing the safety of the realm of SOW
ereignty of the crown and the unity
of the empire. 1t is inconceivable
that Ireland should consent to re-
sumption of the quarrel, Curzon con-
tinued. Lloyd George told the CON-
mons the government has already
said all it has to say in its letters TO
De Valera.
