The decline started on the opening call and the easi- ness at this time was partly due to the poor showing of the Liverpool market

 Many rails registered gross gains of 1 to 3 points on covering of short contracts prompted in part by the more encouraging aspects of the strike situation.

Sharp Oil Decline On Both Exchanges
 On Mexican News
By Associated Press

New York, July 5.-Appearance of salt water in the Toteco Cerro Asut oil fields of Mexico caused a sharp decline in the New York of the prices of oil stocks of companies operating In that terri tory.
 Mexican Petroleum, which has been one of the speculative fea- tures of the big board In recent weeks, was the hardest hit, ciOs- ing at 1G6 for a net loss of 111s points. Class A and B stocks of the Pan-American Petrolemum and Transport company, was ones more than per cent of the stock of Mexican Petroleum, suf- fered losses of 65a and 6 points, respectively. Transactions in these three stocks made up more than 25 per cent Of the entire days dealings on the stock ea-. change, which totalled approxi- mnteIy 5S5,OO0 shares.
 Mexican Seaboard oil, n curb stock, opened at 47M and dropped to 31sS, new low, closing at 361a, a net loss of II points. Transactions in this issue reached nearly sO,O0O shares. while sales of the old voting certificates of the same stock were nearly 15,0O0, the combined total exceeding 20 per cent of the days curb deal fn9s.
 Executives of both. the Pan- American md Mexican seaboard companies issued statements con- firming the appearance of salt water, but set forth that it was not unusual and not unexpected.
 J. M. Danziger, vice president of the Pan-American and Mexican Petroleum companies. declared the loss from the Totec0 Cerro Axut field, when it is finally through, would be offset by other production elsewhere. Harris Hammond. president of the Mexi- can seaboard company. asserted that his company has eight pro- ducing wells other than the two affected by the salt water and that they have been held In re- serve "ngainst this contingency"
