OIL SHARES.
N STUART p. wEsT
fCopyr5ght. 1927


Mexican Petroleurn's further
startling jump followed directly the
word received after the close on
Saturday that the stock exchange
in its investigation had been unable
to discover any evidence of a cor
ner. This fitted in with the view
that the short interest and the part
it has played in the rise OF Mexican
Petroleum had been very much ex-
aggerated and that the real explain
alton lay in the absorption OF a
great deal of the remaining free
stock-now estimated about 1OO,-
600 shares-either for account OF
some corporate interests or by pri-
vate individuals, influenced by the
very important new oil discoveries
in the company's territory.
RAILWAY STOCKS.
Railway shares were not as
prominent relatively as they had
been on Saturday. Nevertheless
they held up well and at times were
quite noticeably strong. New York
Central made a new high. Great
Northern preferred was bought by
people looking for so-called bust
ness-man's inyestment-namely, an
investment with a risk-who were
willing to take the chances for the
sake of the high return that the
seven percent dividend would be
continued. There was some SYM
pathetic buying in Northern Pa
cific. Louisville and Nashville was
moreIthan usually active at advanc-
ing prices. Formal confirmation OF
the merger of Buffalo. Rochester
and Pittsburgh, Glover Leaf, West
ern Maryland and Wheeling and
Lake Erie had little effect upon the
stocks concerned.

sMooT CHARGES ARE SUSTAINED
Senate Report Shows Concerns Forced
Premium In Order to Get Loan

Washington.-Charges of Senator
Smoot (Rep.) Utah, and other senators
that borrowers from joint stock laid
banks in some cases had been charged
illegal premiums, were declared sus-
tanned in a report made to the senate
by Chairman Lobdell of the federal
farm loan board.
In reply to a resolution of inquiry
adopted by the senate, Chairman Lob
dell, in a letter discussing reports of
Illegal charges being imposed upon bor-
rowers, said:
THAT such charges have been made
we know beyond question. Individual,
cases have been called TO our atten-
ton and investigation has developed
others. Considering the number (of
official loans) involved and the oppor-
tunity for extortions. we believe they
have been surprisingly few"
Chairman LobdeIl added that the
board, when 1t learned that borrowers
were required to subscribe for the
stock Of two joint stock banks at
premium in order to secure loans, had
issued an order stoEDing the practice
and requiring the banks to take up
the stock and to repay premium plus
interest.

These range from a few hundred thou

upon the ideas OF the persons making
the estimates. No measurements havo
been made. The amperage OF light
ning strokes is more definitely known,
q few attempts having been made to
measure it. The best measurements
Of this kind show that the current in
