NEW YORK, June 19.-Now that
the differences have been ironed
out between the Mexican officials
and the international bankers in the
matter OF Mexico's bonded debt. ef.
forts will be made to bring about
an adjustment of the many ques-
tions concerned with the exploita-
ton Of the Mexican oil fields by
foreign interests. more particularly
Americans. Despite the fact that
recent reports concerning the non
productiveness Of new oil fields.
there is no doubt but that the re-
public south of the Rio Grande
offers great opportunities for profit.
not only in the oil fields, but in the
mining districts as well. Perhaps
the greatest problem has been in
the adjustment Of the export oil
tax, the amount OF which has been
held to be excessive by foreign
owners. 1t was this matter, which
only a few weeks ago. necessitated
the journeying to Mexico City Of q
number of prominent Americans In.
terested in oil companies in Mexico;
and those same leaders will, during
the current week, confer with FL
nance Minister De La Huerta in
New York. D
1t has been proposed to pool all
the undeveloped Mexican" property
into one combination for develop
ment. None Of the producing prop
critics would, however, be included
in the combination. which. IL
formed. would compose 100000
acres Of Mexican land. The forma-
ton Of q company to explore the
undeveloped property Is expected to
benefit the American companies as
a whole and lead to more economic
operation. Officers of the leading
oil companies with properties in
Mexico make no secret Of the fact
that in the future II win be more
costly to get oil out Of Mexico.
For those who are expecting q
reduction in the rediscount rate Of
the Federal Reserve Bank Of New
York, IL can be said on very
good authority that the directors
are not attempting any such action
at present. Various factors in the
credit situation strengthen the con-
viction CT these bankers that the
rate shouA not be cut down for
few weeks at least. Banks outside
of New York will follow their own
counsel but Il Is almost assured
that New York will not set tho
example for a lower discount rate.
Sales Of copper for the month OF
May are said to have exceeded any
month In the last two years. The
increased demand has been accom-
panied by q considerable advance
In price. Consumers demands for
the great part Of the summer have
be, been ,ss soosa up a and q , !. espsetes ,Ss
iufi for the remainder Of the sum-
mar season. =

AND OIL
STOCKS LEAD IN
DULL MARKET
Motor and Railroad Shares
Are Inactive and Unaffected
by Strike Talk.
By w. S. COUSINS,

Copyright. 1922. by Cosmopolitan News
Service.)
NEW YORK. June 19.-That Wall
Street was not adversely affected
by the possibility Of a new strike
among railroad workers was amply
demonstrated by the action OF the
stock market at the opening OF the
new week. In practically every
division Of the stock list there. was a
strong tendency to higher prices
which was accentuated by the abb
sence of selling orders overhanging
the market as on most days last
week.
The big demonstrations Of the
early trading today vas in the Mexi'
can oil stocks and to a lesser ex-
tent in Gulf States Steel Mexican
Petroleum. usually the leader in
most of the active movements In
the stock market was the outstand-
ing feature of today's session. sell
ing in blocks OF from 200 to l,SOo
shares at rapidly increasing prices
from lat to 1891. Pan-American
also participated in the upward
movement. advancing from its open
ing at 6S& to ~ in the first hour.
To the growing list OF bullish fac'
tors concerning the fruitful deVel'
opments in the Mexican OIL territory.
has now been added the prospect OF
complete harmony between the Mexi'
can government officials and the
American oil interests and the ac-
QUESTION of considerable new terri.
tory for exploitation. Hurried cover
ing of short contracts on the strength
of these developments was partly ac-
countable for Mexican Petroleum 8
run. up in the price scale TO-DAY &.
Houston Oil was in good demand in
the early trading. selling up two
points to rs: Marland Oil continued
it's advance one point higher to 45&
and Phillips Petroleum and Cosden
sold at Saturdays levels.
The steel stocks were fairly active
and steady throughout the early
part OF today's session. United States
Steel sustained a fractional loss at
the opening. but regained the greater
portion in the first hour. Gulf
States Steel was by far the most
active Of the independent steel
stocks. selling beyond IS for new
gain Of over points, compared to
last weeks low of 631a. Gulf States
had the advantage of lower labor
costs and a strategic position in a
section where important develop.
ments are imminent.
Motor and railroad stocks were
comparatively inactive at prices rep
resenting only fractional changes
from Saturdays closing level. The
prospect OF a strike on the railroad
systems. further complicating the
labor situation. is not a pleasing one
in the financial district, and Wall
Street hopes that an amicable adjust
ment OF the matter can be made be-
fore the first of the month. In the
meantime, there Is a welsknown
axiom of the Street which cautions
against seelling stocks ION strike
talk"
Further losses OF over cents to
the pound sterling brought the rates
for demand sterling to around $4.41,
representing a falling off of more
than 10 cents from the recent high.
Cotton prices made new highs for
the current session on unfavorabl
weather in the cotton belt and high
Liverpool and New Orleans markets.
