Mexican Tax Conference.

The five oil men, who are leading
figures in the oil industry and are In
Mexico to settle satisfactorily their
controversies with the Mexican Govern
ment. are of the opinion that such a
settlement will be reached without great
difficulty. 1t Is understood that one Of
them has let New York interests know
that the probable solution OF the prob
lem will be the adoption of a sliding
scale OF taxation. based on the market
value Of oil. Under that plan a good
market for oil with consequent high
prices would bring higher taxes, but.
on the other hand. an oil market In
which prices were low would result
In similarly lower taxation.

popular one was that the dividend would

Call Money in Demand.

Due to calling Of loans In anticipation
of September l requirements, which
rank next to mid-year interest and divi-
dend disbursements, there was an adj
vance In call money quotations which
might have been large had the rate not
been pegged at 5 " per cent. as a result
Of ppol operations. Call money renewed
at 5 per cent. in the New York Stock
Exchange and that was the general rate
outside. although half q million was
placed at Az per cent. Subsequently
the demand for call loans increased and
the rate advanced to 51a per cent. at
which the pool supplied the minimum
amount required.
