OIL companies may be paid the treasury
in gold or in Mexican national bonds.
which will be received without pref
udlce. 1t is understood that representa-
tlves Of the oil companies here have
received instructions to pay the taxes
for the most part in gold, because the
collections from this tax by presidcn-
tial stipulation are to be applied on the
M exican foreign debt.
AS explained by representatives Of
the oil companies, the project means
that the original tax has been reduced
to 40 per cent Of the original levy and
embraces taxes due from June to De
cember 81, 1921. One Of the repre-
sentatives Of the oil companies to-day
said that the export taxes from Jan
uary l Of the present year are not sub
lect to the provisions of the decree and
probably VIII be the subject of further
discussions between the Mexican treas
ury representatives and the oil men,
with a possible visit by the American
oil men to Mexico City in the near
future.
II is expected that President Obre~
gon will sign the decree as soon as he
returns to the cauital from Vera Cruz,
which probably will be next Tuesday
Minister de la Hue1ta ten days ago
made the statement that February 1S
would see a settlement of Mexicos fl
nancial affairs, and the publication Of
the proposed decree is taken in some
quarters to indicate that the oil pay
ment will carry an adjustment of the
outstanding Indebtedness to New York
bankers.

Reflected in War Finance
GOrDo~ation Rcs1orf

From The 7'6rnes Washington Rureou
WASHINGTON, Feb 19.--American
farmers arc beginning to repay their
loans from The Federal government and
many payments are being made before
the notes come due, Eugene Meyer jr,
managing director of the War Finance
Corporation, announced to-day.
"The improvement in agricultural
conditions" Mr. Meyer said, els begin
ning to manifest itself in an orderly
liquidation, which is reflected in recent
payments to the War Finance Corpora
ton IN connection with its EXPORT
loans, as well as its loans for agricu.
tural and livestock purposes. From
January | to February IS, inclusive. a
total OF $15,233 900 has been repaid to
the War Finance Corporation. Of this
sum S3,920,000 represents repayments
on account of loans made under the
war powers OF the corporation. Of the
latter amount S163 900 was repad on
cattle loans and SO 1851 900 on railroad
and public utility loans.
"Repayments of export advances total
SN64l 600 OF which $500 900 was re-
paid by exporters, $735 900 by co-opcra-
tive associations and $2,694,C0O by
banking institutions, while s3,693 900
reflects the liquidation of export loans
financed through Edge law bank ac-
ceptances.
"Repayments on account of agricul-
tural and livestock loans aggregate So
671,000. Of this amount $2,877,0OO was
repaid by banking institutions, S347,OO0
by livestock companies and $447,O0O by
cooperative associations.
'All repayments have been voluntary
and considerable part of the total
represents repayments before due
dates',

In finished commodities, such az an
parel' the preparation of retailers for
the coming spring season. although
conducted on conservative basis,
stimulated activity. Although BUYERS
are purchasing scantily, a large num-
Der OF them are in the market and their
combined purchasing totals to a fair
figure, according to all reports.
Retail trade seemed to be SLIGHTLY
more than seasonally dull, with the
merchants conducting special sales of
winter goods to clear out their stocks
and to keep up the sales totals for the
month. 1t is noticed, however, that
even radically reduced prices do not
draw out shoppers as much as would be
the case if such reductions were offered
in normal times. Apparently the pub
llc Is stlll buying close to actual needs.
In connection with retail trade the
statement was made by two high au-
thorties last week that exaggerated
advertising is having a dcleterious eff
lect upon business aud that the shop
per has become wary Of eNtravagantly
made claims. One authority. Alvin L.
Dood, manager Of the domestic distri-
button department. Of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, went
so far as to say that unclean advertise
ing was doing more to shake the CON
hdence OF the public in retailers than
dld high prices year or SO ago.
The outlook in the West is consid-
cred brighter, due to the continued rise

23 Per Cent Decline in Rail
Traffic of 1921 Under 1920

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-A decline
was registered in railroad traffic dur
ing 1921 of 23.3 per cent under that of
1920, the greatest ever recorded in
American transportation history, ac-
cording to the Association of Railway
Executives
Compiling the estimates from re-
ports to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, the association, in a state
ment issued to-day, said that in 1921
the number OF tons of freight carried
one mile in the United States were
344 ,167,o 10000, or 104 $50, 200, 900 less
than the ton-miles Of 1920. The de-
crease in the Eastern district was 24A

Leather

Although new developments last
week were absent, conditions in the
leather trade continue to improve in
slow but steady manner. Individual
sales remain small but the total is
growing weekly. The present surplus
of leather, however, is drawback to
any appreciabe betterment in the i'm
mediate future. Prices are generally
steady, although concessions are oc-
casionally made by sellers In the

Price reductions in some quarters
of the cotton goods trade formed the
chief development in that industry last
week. At the opening of the week per
Gale printers put prices back approx
imately where they were before they
were put up last fall, in keeping with
the advance in raw cotton. Several
leading jobbors throughout the coun-
try ran special sales in which prices. in
some cases, were quoted below current
mill prices. In way, this appears to
be in anticipation of lower mill prices.
Gray or unfinished worsted goods
were dull and weak early in tie pc
Rod, but strengthened slightly iowa rd
the close of the week under more ac-
tive buying.

Silks

The raw silk situation Is felt to hold
the key to the solution of most of the
troubles in the silk industry here.
Last week saw a continuation Of the
downward trend to raw silk prices here
in conformity with declines in Yoko-
hama. American manufacturers have
openly advocated the abolition Of the
Raw silk Exchange or Bourse in
Yokohama, which is considered purely
speculative. 1t is fact that open
market prices in Japan do not always
follow the Bourse, but Bouvse prices
DO react on the market here.
The fuctuation in raw silk prices has
completely upset the calculations of
manufacturers here and has spread un-
certainty among buyers, with the re-
suit that the trade is inactive at pres
ent. Despite their efforts, silk manu-
facturers have not been able to
stabilize their market.
