Mexican Eagle Oil.

New York officials of the Mexican
Eagle OIL Company declared yester-
day that they were withou: knowledge
of the reported sale by the Royal Dutch
Petroleum Company of its interest In
the Mexican Eagle property. They did
not deny London dispatches that suc,,
a sale had been made but declared that
they were not In position to confirm
the report. II was added that the only
possible confirmation obtainable was
In London and that there was no one
in New York. so far as was known,
who was aware of such step. The
reported sale was used by professional
operators as a lever for further selling
of the Mexican oil shares. particularly
the Doheny issues. 1t was declared by
those traders that the Royal Dutch
Companys decision confirmed the oft
repeated and oft denied story that the
Mexican oil fields were nearing the
point Of exhaustion. Royal Dutch. too.
was rather heavily sold and declined
sharply on the day.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
New Low for Marks.

Principally as result OF transactions
in London. the value of the mark
dropped yesterday to the new low rec
ord OF .52 cent. but subsequently re-
covered to .o9 cent. At the same time
sterling rose to a new high on the
present movement. or s3s4il. dropping
back as the mark recovered and clos
Ing at $685.. There was a similar ad-
vance and slight recession in guilders
and exchange on Scandinavia. The
Wilderness of the fluctuations attested
the narrowness of the market. and for
eign exchange is altogether too be-
wildering subject for trade or for
speculation. Its movements OF yester-
day clearly indicated sales of marks
and their conversion into the currencies
OF such countries as Holland. Denmark.
Norway and Sweden. There was also
conversion. apparently. into sterling.
but that market was strengthened by
remittances of some of the proceeds of
recent South American loans to Lon
don. Another reason for the sales of
marks and the purchase of guilders
was the desire OF Germany to make
Roadway in paying off credits advanced
TO Germany In Holland.

Profes.ion.l Market only.

Transactions in stocks yesterday were
almost entirely professional. with the
bearish element in the saddle. Taking
advantage Of the railroad strike news
10 put out short lines, the professional
bears We're taking few chances of be-
Ing caught Even though outside traders
would hesitate to buy stocks in the
face of a possible nationwide strike,
they would not be inclined to liuuidate
holdings. at least until something far
more definite should develop 1t is an
axiom In Wall Street that very little
money has been made through selling
stocks on strike reports. and traders of
the district. outside of the professional
clique, appeared to bear that in, mind
yesterday. They would not buy Atocks
and consequently sellers had the mar
ket pretty much to themselves. and
rallies that occurred from time to time
represented mostly profit taking by
bears.

Gold Imports.

The total value OF gold arriving in
New York over the last week end was
approximately s7.750.000. the engage
ment of most Of which had been pre-
viousiy announced. Unheralded arri-
walls were .si.000.000 on the French liner

French steamship La Savoie for the

Not a Monopoly.

The proposed entrance of the Standard
Oil interests into the oil fields of Czecho-
Slovakia does not constitute in any sense
the acquisition of monopoly In that
country. it was learned yesterday. re-
ports to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Standard interests have been nego-
tiating for considerable time for certain
oil rights. but several weeks ago. when
that information was first made public.
1t was made plain by the Standard Oil
people that they were not in any sense
seeking a monopoly. They declined yes
terday TO give out any further informa-
tion regarding the negotiations which. 1t
is understood. are approaching a near
conclusion.

General Motors.

Detroit dispatches of yesterday to the
effect that the General Motors Corpora
ton was developing plans TO get rid of
the Scripps- Booth Company as a going
concern were said by persons closely
connected with its management to be
untrue. The corporations legal depart
ment is working on some plan with re-
gard to the Scrpps-Bo Company
which Is said to be the smallest of any
of the General Motors subsidiaries, and
1t Is generally believed that that plan. In
whatever shape 1t may be presented. will
provide for divorcing the company from
the big combination. Ttumors of similar
action in the case of other subsidiary
companies Of the General Motors Cor
poration have been in circulation I'm Wall
Street from time to time. but nothing in
the way of confirmation has been OBJ
tained.

covernment withdrawaI. Heavy.

The local reserve bank announced
yesterday that the withdrawal of &c.
100000 in United States deposits would
take effect to-day. The reason for such
large drafts lies in the fact that an un-
expectedly large proportion OF the
United States Certificates of Indebted
ness, which matured on October 10,
were paid by the local reserve bank.
The expectations were payment OF
s125.0O0.000. and the actual payment
was $3.50. 200. 900. The effect of the with
drawal will be to remove some of the
glut Of call funds which piled up yester-
day.
