plans for a regular THANKSGIVING

Instead. the President and Mrs

quietly and simply, with no formal
festivity of any description. The
President intends to spend most OF
the day In the sick room with Mrs

paratively light, SlO7 $40, 900, against
S136. 60 $50 in the corresponding
period Of 1927 and S114, 124. $50 in
1920. Most of the issues are for small
amounts and represent short term
loans hoatcd at high interest rates in

A large part of these maturities will
bo paid of without new financing and
those that will be refunded require little
new money. Lessening of industrial

will be another contributing factor to

Salt Water Stories Again


Yesterdays market generally was
disturbed to an acute degree In the
course Of the days trading by the sud
den unsettlement of the trading in Mex
lean issues, At, first IL was thought
that heavy declines in that group were
due to the deferring Of action on the
American agreement, but later In the
day official statements were made that
salt water had invaded the Totpco-
Cerro Azul pool, which had been mar
vclous producers for long time Ap-
parcntly heavy selling Of the Mexican
oil stocks was based on this news.
Mexican Petroleum on the New York
Stock Exchange dropped from 177h
to 1914. loss of 10 points, and Mexi-
can Scaboard. traded in on the Curb
Exchange. sold down from AIN to 311a.
Pan American "a" yielded over 9
points and the "B" stock also dropped
over 9 points. those issues representing
control of Mexican Petroleum.
As the reason for the break in the
Mexican issues became known buying
orders appeared in many of the other
oil stocks. Pacific Oil became one Of
the strong features, moving up from
547s to above 81. and Cosden 4 Co.,
General Asphalt and many other stocks
of oil l-producing companies made sub
stantial advances after early declines.

but yesterday they were nbic TO break
away from the hibcrnnting state and
showed signs of n reawakcning Of the

The steel trade, however, has en-

coal and labor could be obtained, the
