Jane worked a whole day picking
threads off the carpet, and smooth

they'd got so mussed up. And I

second biggest Day.

Yesterday was the second biggest day
Of this year in point of volume in the
stock market. It's transactions amounted
to 1.055.265 shares. which have been ex-
ceeded only once this year. on January
20, when 1,131, AIS shares were sold. The
close was one OF the most active and
strongest in a considerable time, and in
many issues, such as Studebaker, Steel
common. Rock Island and others, the
short interest was given a very un-
comfortable half hour. Many stocks
got into new high ground in the
final thirty minutes of trading. led by
Steel common, which made a high and
last price of 94T, up more than points
on the day The steady advance Of Steel
has been the wonder OF the Street In the
last fortnight, as developments In the
steel industry have not been such as to
warrant a movement of the kind. A
strong group, however, is understood to
be behind the Steel move, the actual
operation of which is said to be in the
hands of a prominent operator who has
innume-age similar successes to his
credit
The New York herald., 1922-02-22
Mexican Oils HIT.

Following yesterday mornings publica-
cation OF a speech by Ralph Arnold at
the annual meeting OF the American In
sttute of Mining and Metllurgical
Engineers. In which he reiterated
statements he made year ago that
the big Mexican oil fields would
be exhausted soon. n strong assault
was directed against Mexican oil stocks,
Mexican Petroleum being the especial
target All OF them declined sharply,
Mexican Petroleum breaking about FIVE
points IN a few minutes. In speaking
OF the new fields found In Mexico, the
TERRA Blanca and the San Geronimo.
Mr.. Arnold said that neither OF them,
under most favorable circumstances.
"can have more than n temporary ef-
feet on the situation" He added that
only twenty-four wildcat wells were be-
ing drilled Ia the known light oil district
OF Mexico and that none of them was
certain of important results.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET
sterling Crosses $40.

Features OF yesterdays foreign ex-
change market were the rise in demand
sterling to s4.40A. a new high for the
current upward movement, which may
carry sterling to parity Of S4.S665 In
twelve months. and lowering tie pre-
MUM on New York funds in Montreal
to a point below 3 per cent marking a
new high for Canadian funds. The adj
vance in sterling is due to fundamental
causes. The rise In Canadian exchange
is ascribed in part to buying of Cana
dian funds from Canadian sources and
In part 20 free movement OF Canadian
wheat. Guilders also were strong, their
quotation rising TO 3Sh cents. In con
trast to parity Of 40.2 cents. The move
ment is ascribed to negotiations about to
be closed for an offering OF loan Of
75.000.0O0 guilders (about s30,000,000)
in this market.

south Penn OIL Breaks.

Announcement that the South Penn
OIL Company had cut its dividend from
50 to $50 quarterly caused sharp
break in the price Of its shares in the
curb and over the counter Yesterday
The extreme break ranged over 20 points
to a low OF 165. The dividend cut came
as n complete surprise as South Penn
has been one of the steadiest earners
and most consistent dividend payers OF
the Standard Oil group. The failure to
declare the regular dividend, however,
did not unsettle other Standard issues.
many OF which closed with fractional
advances.

No Change I'm Reserve Rates.

The unusual and unexpected an
nouncement Of Andrew w. Mellon. Sec
retary of the Treasury, to the effect
that no immediate consideration OF
further reduction of rediscount rates
was being given by Reserve Banks was
taken in Wall Street to indicate that
there would be no revision downward
Of them before late spring. Were there
no bonus bill agitation. money condi-
tions might force an earlier action, but
under present circumstances the pres
ent rediscount rates appear to be suf-
ficiently low. Conditions OF the Re-
serve System, however. may warrant a
downward rate revision by the latter
part OF March or early part OF April.
