Tho New Call Loan Market

According to the American Accept

erence for bank acceptances as coitat-
eral for loans. During the last SIX
months" the council says In it's latest
bulletin, "a great many millions OF
what might be considered new money
has entered the market Tor loans
against bills, and with the express stip-
tlation that it should be loaned against
acceptances rather than against other
securities as collateral. There is being
loaned on call against acceptances
about $7b b,000.000 and approximately
$75O00,0o0 against government cert IL

cess Of 81 900 100000 has drifted into
other channels of temporary invest

Slight Declines for Day Are

Some Rail Shares Firm

After declining sharply as a result Of
further profit taking sales, intensified
by short selling, stock prices in the

covered part Of their earlier Losses.

twenty railroad stocks was 87.fo. com
pared with 67ss5 the previous day, and
that OF thirty irdustrials was 72.A0.

The action of prices in the final hour
reflected at least temporary check in
the selling wave, which started Tues
day.
In the face Of the selling, Great

ing impulses were associated with a
dividend meeting at Chicago this
morning Of the directors of the Chi

whose stock Is owned by the other
two roads. Spectators assumed that
the directors would declare an extra
distribution. The rails as whole suf-
tered during the selling movement less
than the industrials. and of the latter
group some of the specialties which
have recently risen p-onouncedly were
main objectives of the sellers.
Bonds remained Arm. although profit
taking sales caused some slight irregu-
larity.
Informal reports about a conference
in London with Germans led TO
strength in marks and francs yester-
day. but before the close they reacted

Mexican Petroleum Reacts

Traders sold Mexican Petroleum
yesterday following publication of a
circular issued by the Mexican Treas
ury Department which showed that
exports of light crude from Mexico in
November were at the rate Of 14.s4 cents
a barrel, or 10 per cent Of the valuation
of s1.4s4 barrel. This compared with
tax of 1917 cents in October. Trad
ers apparently forgot that the increase
was in accordance with the agreement
reached with the Mexican government
by American oil men in September,
that the tax would be based on the
current selling price Of the oil ex
ported. at New York. Selling pressure
drove the price Of Mexican Petroleum

Columbia Gas and Electric

An advance in Columbia Gas and
Electric shares yesterday to a new high
for the year at 66 was attributed to an
nouncemcnt that the City Council of
Cincinnati has passed new gas ordi-
nance for the three-year period from
December is next which will mean
higher rates for the company. The new
ordinance provides a fat rate of 30
cents thousand feet during seven
months, April to October, inclusive.
This compares with the present rate of
35 cents a thousand. During winter

offered premium to get them included

and Mexican Petroleum. American
Sugar loaned fat at the close, this also
oeing an Indication of a large short in
terest. Judging from the fact that the
borrowing demand for Sears Roebuck
was largely from the West, it was
quite possible that the short interest
in this issue was more or less technical.
In other words, the sellers were short

The Burlington Meeting

Tho persistent strength In Greet
Northern and Northern Pacific yester-
day led the Street to believe that the
Burlington directors at their meeting
scheduled In Chicago to-day will de-
clare n substantial extra dividend. In
some quarters the extra was placed as
high as 20 per cent. A prominent
banker expressed the opinion that the
extra" would be sufficient to insure
the continuation Of regular dividends
by the two controlling roads, the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern. Reports have been heard recently
that the Burlington in order to aid its
owners would draw from the treasury
of its own subsidiary, the Colorado &
Southern.
