NEW YORK. Oct. 11.-Another
wild movement in Mexican and Pan
American Petroleum stocks featured
early today in the stock market.
Dealings in these stocks were fast
and furious. and the pace was one
of the swiftest that has yet char
acterized this wild member Of the
speculative fraternity. 1t Is well
known in the market place that a
contest Is in progress between the
bulls and the bears in this stock, the
present market quotation indicating
a tremendous victory for the bulls.
though the bears have decamped
with quite few profitable sorties.
After q retreat to 1897, the stock
opened today at 1861 and was sold
up to 202h in the first ten minutes.
at which point thousands of shares
changed hands. Pan-American was
also unusually active and sold up to
a new high at S9h.
Reports from Washington to tho
effect that the Government did not
propose to levy a special tax against
the undistributed surpluses of cor.
porations did not dampen the ardor
Of those traders who had been bid
ding up the prices of the high.priced
stocks of rich corporations. Such
surpluses constitute an important
addition to the book value Of the
stock and the basis for future ex'
mansion Of their instruments of pro.
duction. Furthermore, there Is no
particular reason why the directors
should not make a distribution when
ever they so desire. as did the Ma.
tional Biscuit Company at it's meet
ing yesterday.
Rail Shares Rally.
Outside OF the big oils. industrial
stocks featured the market in the
first hour and rails the second. In
the first period there was good
demand for such stocks as National
Lead, which sold up points to a
new high at 114h: American
Express in new high ground at 1852;
American Woolen at 102h; Corn
Products at 124; National Biscuit at
211; General Electric at 1872. ard
equipments at slightly higher
prices. The low-priced stocks were
again less conspicuous in the active
trading list, with practically none
Of the sensational demonstrations
enjoyed by the big market leaders.
After tagging behind the market
for quite some time, the railroad
stocks were taken in hand in the
second hour and the leading mem
bers Of this group participated in a
vigorous rally, in the course Of VIII ch
improvements Of one or two points
were credited to the leaders If this
group. Canadian Pacific sold up
from 1861 to 14S: Union Pacific,
1904 to 1872; Southern Pacific, - 10
95k: Great Northern preferred 80 TO
94h; Atchison. 106 to 1O7h: Rock

per cent Of net valuation. II Is rec
ognized that the best period OF the

and earnings should increase 'hor.
mously from now until the end OF
the year. ..
Steel stocks were fairly active
in the morning trading. with a mar.
row price range. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit regained about two points
of its recent loss and Manhattan
Elevated was active and fractionaliy
higher, Nearly 100000 shares
changed hands in the first hour, but
the mace was somewhat slower in
the second and by noontime con,
siderable irregularity had developed
in the speculative list.
