Legislature Beats sheep

mo, I'm not seeking an appoint
ment for federal job" admitted
Frank Sloan of Stanfield, who arrived
lat the Imperial yesterday to see r. n.
Stanfield. United States senator. I'm
in the sheep business, even If it is rot
ten. / mean, the sheep business is all
right. except the price" After serv-
ing as lawmaker for A. days at
Salem, Mr.. Sloan says it seems strange
to go to bed and sleep all night with
cut someone coming to wake him up
and asking him 10 support a bill
Speaking Of the sheep business" he
concluded. you know / said that there
vas more money in being lawmaker
at SO a day than there was being a
sheepman. Well, that still goes."-

1920 Diamond Mounting
Sales 33% % Over Normal

Sales in diamond mountings last
year were estimated to be 33 per cent
ahead Of the sales for 1918 and also
IN advance of any previous normal
year, according to leading dealers. The
year 1919 could not be taken as a basis
for comparison, for, in the opinion of
the dealers, the unprecedented busi-
ness done in that year will not be
equaled for some time.
Buying last year was centered on
medium priced mountings, with a
strong demand for diamond studded
barpins, flexible bracelets, cord sau-
toirs, platinum and gold engagement
and wedding rings and pendants. 1t
is expected that medium priced mount
ings will be the popular demand again
this year.
A leading dealer asserted that re-
duction in the price of all mountings
had been made from the first of the
year. This reduction, he said, reflected
the decline in guilder exchange.
The late start of statesmen to take
the road was attributed to the longer
period which their customers have
taken for inventory. Dealers are Of
the opinion that within the next four
weeks the condition of the trade, which
is somewhat more quiet than usual,
will have shown considerable improve
ment. At that time orders for the
repletion of stocks Of the customers
are expected to be received by the
dealer.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 27.-Proposed
legislation which would establish q
fixed rate OF taxation on the quantity

traordlnary session on February Z,
and is described as an effort to avoid
man difficulties relative to taxes which
have been constantly arising between
petroleum companies and the govern
ment.
Several oil men who have arrived
here said that the project had not been
amply considered by all the petroleum
companies in the country and that the
conference would probably lay only
the groundwork for future meetings
at which attempts would be made to
reach a complete settlement
Among the many phases of the prob
lem discussed was that of waste, es-
pecially Of natural gas, which is permit
ted to escape in large quantities, the
loss being estimated at 10000, 900 pesos
annually. An evidence of the i'm
portance of an agreement between the
companies and the government as to the
form of taxation was found in an an
nouncement made that twenty-five oil
exporting companies had during the
month of December paid the govern
ment 6,340,197 pesos in taxes.

Speculation In Furs
Holds Danger, Warr,ing

A warning that renewed specu-
lation In furs, which already is in
evidence, may lead to a Oppressive
reaction was sounded yesterday by
the Fur Merchants Association
through its president, ]. H. Bleis-
tein.
Conditions In the fuk trade" says
the statement, "have shown decided
improvement during the last few
weeks and the general outlook ap-
pears much brighter than antici-
pated few months ago, but now,
Immediately after market values for
furs have become stabilized, there
seems to develop q tendency in Ger
tain quarters to push prices higher
again through unwarranted specu-
lation.
"The situation calls for serious
consideration and we should not try
to advance prices to such an extent
that diminished buying by the pub
lie will result. Although showing
considerable Improvement over pre-
vious months, commercial condi-
tions in the United States to-day
are still too uncertain to warrant
anything but conservative price
policy"
