TWO Manhattan HoIdouts.

Two big stockholders OF the Manhat-
tan Elevated Company are holding out
from acceptance OF the Interborough
reorganization plan as drawn up and
submitted some weeks ago for approval
OF the stock and bond holders OF the
various concerns involved. Unless these
two interests can be brought around to
acceptance of the plan. it was ntimated
yesterday. the entire proposal may have
to be scrapped, for practically a full
100 per cent. OF the Manhattan stock
holders consent must be obtained TO
make the plan operative. These holders,
1t was said yesterday, have taken the
position that the Manhattan stock. af-
ter separation OF the Interborough. will.
be worth more than allowed for it under
the plan. About 90 per cent. OF the
holders OF the marlborough Met. a..
per cent. bonds have concurred in the
plan---more than is needed--while about
so per cent. of the holders of the Inter
borough b alsos have acquieeed. In the
case of the latter. however. 1t was said
yesterday only about 70 per cent is
needed and no difficulty is anticipated
in getting that number.

FEARS WATER FLOOD
IN TOTECO OIL FIELD
Hammond Tells Why Dividend
Program of Mexican Sea-
board Is Changed.

Directors of the Mexican Seaboard OF
Company voted yesterday to pay diu-
dend OF so cents share to stock holders
OF record as OF August IA, payable Au-
gust 2i They further decided that
hereafter the question OF dividend pay
ments should be considered quarterly
instead Of monthly. as heretofore.
In a statement issued in connection
with the action OF the board Harris
Hammond president. said
''rhe decision to change the dividend
program was due to changed conditions
III the Toteco field, which make il un-
certain what amount OF oil can be taken
out per day from this time forr ard. and
therefore what the company's earnings
from future production will be.
In our statement of July II last to
the stockholders it was pointed out that
large quantities o. oil would still be pro-
duced by us from Toteco, and that daily
production would be on continually
reducing scale, and that actual reduction
could only be determined by conditions
as they develop from day to day in the
field. At the time OF the previous state
ment a conservative policy was being
followed by the three companies produc-
ing from this field In the belief that IL
the total extractions from the field were
regulated by good practice the amount
of daily production would be stabilized
and that the falling or in production
would be gradual and over a long period
of time
Since that statement this company has
been forced into competitive drawing by
action of its competitors This competi-
tive drawing has resulted in raising arti-
ficially and prematurely the level of the
salt water. aud il continued we may
reach point when all wells in the POOL
will have TO be closed down and period
OF from thirty to sixty days allowed
for the oil and water to settie-thus
allowing the pure oil to again come to
the surface. 1t must be remembered
that the oil does not escape, but is SO
disturbed by overproduction that It forms
what is called an emulsion. which is a
froth or mixture of salt water and oil
and whichsis not commercial production
1T is the appearance of this emulsion
in our wells that has forced us to re-
strict production by pinchng in our
wells. When production Of all interests
in that field is resumed on a conserva-
tive basis we should find ourselves again
in the position indicated in our state
ment of July L."
Mr.. Hammond stated. that during July
the company had delivered approximately
2.500,0 600 barrels of oil. and that for the
first three days of August the company's
production from the Toteco field had
averaged approximately $4,000 barrels a
day, NOT including "a per cent. royalty
oil due from the Mexican Gulf Oil
Company.

Mexican seaboard Sell. on.

After early strength there was some
heavy selling of Mexican Seaboard
stock yesterday during the course of
the monthly directors meeting, which
resulted in sharp reaction from a high
of 24as 20 low of 221s. At the same
time the certificates declined from 21A
to 1873 The unusual length OF the di-
rectors' meeting. coupled with rumors
that the regular monthly dividend would
hot be paid, were responsible for most
OF the selling. The directors session
lasted considerably longer than had
been anticipated and the street was in
clined to construe this factor in n bear
ish way. Announcement of the declara-
ton OF the regular dividend was not
made until the market had closed.
