Mex. Pete Drops
To New Low i'm
Dull Market
Post Holiday Trading Least
Active Since Last August;
Cotton Becomes Firmer
as Grain Prices Decline

Except for the new somersaults Of
Mexican Petroleum, fluctuations which
comprised yesterdays stock market
were negative in character. The av-
erage OF both thirty typical industrial
stocks and of twenty rails turned mod
erately lower, but, in view CT the pre-
cipitate drop of the Mexican oil shares.
the general decline was something less
than striking.
The really impressive phase of the
marketplace was the insignificance
Of the days session. On no day since
August 16, 1920, were there SO few i'm
pulses to buy and sell securities. In
five hours of trading only $4,000
shares changed owners. sThe dullness
implied that some Of the larger traders
were still enjoying a holiday. The
general uncertainty regarding the i'm
mediate outlook, following the decline
the uncertainty was intensified by
swift declines in Mexican shares-re-
strained the desire to trade.
Aside from disconcerting Mexican
news, including the fact that two
United States naval vessels were out
side Tampico, rumors that American
producers were considering further
curtailment of operations in Mexico as
as result of the new export tax, and
dispatch from the republic south of
the Rio Grande to the effect that oil
companies, ceasing drilling, would new
ertheless have to pay their workers
for three months, little had happened
over the holidays that was likely to
affect the value of securities. The
nearest approach to such a develop
ment was the announcement by the
Bethlehem Steel Company of a reduc-
tion of 81 to $40 ton in steel prices.
Although the steel securities, like most
others, were fractionally lower, the
Bethlehem statement had little effect.
1T was an event generally anticipated
last week. Moreover, the formal an
nouncement of the price cut merely
called public attention to what was al
ready publicly being done. Other steel
producers are expected to follow
While stocks acted lstless the re-
investment demand for investment Sc
curities was writing its effect on bond
quotations, which became firm. With
the pressure Of July 1 disburse-
ments already lifted from the banks
the call money rate, which was per
cent at renewal time, declined to 51s
per cent. In the international money
market, sterling and the Continental
exchanges were moderately weaker.
In the comm odity markets frmer
opening at Liverpool was reflected in
net gains Of IA to 18 points here, as
the favorable effect of the government
crop report continued to restrict offer
ings. In the grain markets, however,
| there was heavy selling, making for
sharp declines, as result of the heavy
rains over the holiday, which relieved
the drought-ridden American North
west and Canadian wheat fields.
New-York tribune., 1921-07-06
The Bethlehem Price Cut

The view taken in steel circles yes
terday. concerning the reductions of
from Sd to $40 ton on it's products
by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
was that they were more recognition
of market already existing than an
actual change in going quotations, ex-
cept on a few lines. For some weeks
past the majority of steel products
have been selling at or near the quo
tations announced Monday by Mr.
Grace, and some tonnages have actual
ly been contracted for at the lower
levels. That Bethlehem's move will be
followed by other Independents was
regarded rs foregone conclusion, al
though definite information to this eff
feet was lacking owing to the absence
from their desks of leading officials
who had not yet returned from their
Fourth of July holiday. 1t is also ex-
pected that the Steel Corporation will
announce new price schedule in the
near future. as the company indicated
only recently that it's policy was one
of meeting competition.

Cuban Loan Rumors

Rumors Of an impending Cuban loan
to be fioated here persist, and one went
the rounds of the financial district to
the effect that the island republic is to
borrow $50,000,o00 in this market with
III two months. Bankers directly in
terested in the critical Cuban situation
were skeptical of the reports, but ad
mitted that conditions on the island
warrant drastic action to prevent a
complete collapse. The disposition of
the banking community is to wait for
the authorities at Washington to act
before taking any definite Step toward
making loan to Cuba. General Crow
der submitted his report on the Cuban
situation to the United States govern
ment last week, and the extremely
gloomy picture he painted of condi-
tions in Cuba is expected to bring
quick action in Washington.

decrease of about $4,000 900 from the
first half Of 1920. These figures will
vary in the revised return to be- issued
around the end Of the month, but give
a fair idea of how the company is
working along under existing business
Outcome of operations for the second
rslf of the year will depend on addi-
tlonal saving the company is able to
make on operating charges as a result
OF the proposed 12 per cent wage re-
duction and to what extent this will
be offset by the reduction in freight
and passenger rates.
Another important factor will be the
general trend in business. A bountiful
harvest in the West will accelerate
business so that the company NAV fin-
lsh the year with an even better margin
over dividend requirements that it did
IN 1920, despite the acuteness of the
business depression.

"Mcx Pete. Breaks Again

Mexican Petroleum broke badly again
yesterday while members of the Asso-
citation OF Oil Producers in Mexico
were in session discussing the new
tariff proposal and other matters which
have had an adverse influence on the
recent market trend Of the stock. Fol-
lowing the opening price of 98h, there
was a decline before the close to 9oh,
with the last sale at 9tA, net loss
for the day of 8s points. A factor
which was believed to have affected the
price trend in the afternoon was the re-
port that President Oregon has issued
q new decree which would force pro-
ducers to pay workers their regular
wages for three months ahead because
of the rumored cessation of drilling
operations and shipments. This re-
port was productive of much discussion
here, but no official word has been re-
ceived as to its authenticity.

Railroad Earnings for May

With 80 per cent Of the country's

showing the May earnings indicate that
total net railway operating income will
aggregate $40,000,000. Reports from
176 roads show actual net of $685.

S4086 600. Figured on a percentage
basis, this is an increase of 933.9 per
cent. The May total operating reve
nues computed from the reports at
hand were s429, ,269 900, a decrease of
25 per cent. Operating expenses, to-
falling $365026,000, showed a decrease
of 133 per cent

A Loan to Germany

Formal ending of the state of war
between the United States and Ger
many has given rise to fresh discussion
IN banking circles of a possible Ger
man loan fiotation here. 1t has been
suggested that the German property in
the hands of the American Alien Gus
todlan be pledged as collateral for a
German loan. While American bankers
think such a scheme might be feasible
the common view is that conditions are
not favorable to the hotation Of any
kind of a German loan.

Views on the New Tariff

Bankers as rule are hesita nt
about commenting upon the proposed
new tariff legislation as embodied in
the Administrations permanent bill.
but few of them do not mince mat
ters in criticizing the measure. The
view taken by the bankers who are
willing to discuss the bill is that the
whole proposal to boost duties on the
great bulk Of imports already being
taxed is not only unsound but will
prove costly to the United States in in
the long run, since it will have the
effect Of curtailing our already slump
ing foreign trade.
at is utterly foolish" observed q
prominent financial Of independent
politics yesterday, "to rant about the
necessity Of doing something to en-
courage foreign trade when Congress
starts to boost the tariff. Our foreign
customers have only two ways of paw
ing US for our goods, through their
goods and their services. If we build
up our tariff wall we shall be making
it just SO much more difficult for them
to pay for American goods" The
banker thought Congress ought to be
enlightened on this particular point.
and the hope was expressed that the
banking community would be repre-
sented at the hearings to be held
shortly on the new bill.

the merchandise arrived it was
