Pennsylvania Stockholders

Ever since the annual meeting Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in March. when
official assurance was given n restora-
ton of the g per cent dividend rate
would be made at the earliest possible
moment, numerous investors began
taking back their stock. There was
also considerable institutional buying
for at the going figures, with the 9 per
cent rate restored, the stock offered an
attractive income basis.
The result has been a decrease Of
nearly 5000 In the number Of share
holders, indicating a corresponding in
crease in the number Of larger holders.
For tho seventh consecutive month, the
number Of shareholders In September
decreased 753. Compared with Octo-
Der of last year. the decrease was
shown to be 26T5.

The Mexican Petroleum conversion

The Mexican Petroleum conversion
plan was surprisingly liberal. compared
with the original offer, and should be
very pleasing news to the scattered
shareholders. 10 tell the real truth of
the matter. nobody was pleased more
than the stockholders, because the at
Effectiveness of the new offer will hasten
the disappearance Of Mexican Pete
from the board. The stock has been a
disturbing element on the Stock Ex-
change for several years, and, conse-
Quently, thorn in the side OF every
broker. Conservative houses, and even
those not so particular in their specu
lative policies have never relished the
wide fluctuations in such stock where
the supply is known to be so limited.
Timd traders are frightened out OF the
market when these speculative football.
start to cut up some Of their wild
capers. The violent gyrations Of Mex q.
tcan Pete" put all other exhibitions in
the shade.
When the Toteco field went to salt
there was heavy selling Of the stock
on the theory Of heavy depreciation in
the company's value. Groups of daring
speculntors, who sold the stock short,
we're ony too glad to cover before the
stock reached zoo. The Doheny crowd
could have made things much more un-
rIraSaut for those who have the habit
cf Selling what isn't his'n," but some
unknown influence always put on the

In brief. there will be no sorrow
when "McXiran Pete" disappears from
