team have been very busy during the
past week soliciting funds with
which to purchase new equipment.

JAIL AND PENITENTIARY
RECORDS SHOW DECREASE
IN CRIME.
The Washington Cd. c. Post,
which has been making a survey of
the general situation under prohibit
ton, in its issued of January 8, 1922,
gives the following summary:
I'm one respect nearly all the re-
ports received agree in substance. A
marked decrease in crime has been
noted the country over during the
period since the national prohibition
law went into effect. 1t is true that
the last few months have seen great
er activity on the part of criminals
and numerous instances of spectacu-
lar lawlessness. Where this has been
noted it has been explained as due
to the economic situation, unemploy-
ment and after-the-war breakdown
of morals. In spite of it the jails and
penitentiary records show that
crime has decreased in the two
years materially. Hospitals and 9TH
er records show, too, that insanity
has decreased"

Mexican Seabnard Oil

Full effect Of the declaration Of the
regular monthly dividend of so cents a
share on Mexican Seaboard Oil and of
the directors decision to consider the
question of dividends hereafter quar-
terly instead of monthly, because of
the uncertainty Of the production and
earnings outlook, was not registered
in the stock market yesterday because
of the postponement OF the action until
after the close. The movement of the
stock was nervous almost throughout
and especially so as the directors
meeting was prolonged without indica-
tion of the outcome. From the stand
point that omission of the dividend
had been anticipated in some quarters
it's declaration was constructive, but
the frank outline Of the company's
position and outlook was not subject
generally to like Interpretation. The
stock closed at 22%, off 13s from its
best and 5s off for the day.

Interborough- Manhattan Plan

Inquiry developed yesterday that
further progress has been made toward
obtaining the assent Of security hold
ers to the plan of adjustment of In
terborough- Manhattan Elevated rela-
tions. Deposits of Interborough- Met
ropolitan 418s under the plan, amount
ing to 80 per cent, already exceed the
aggregate required, while holders of
about so per cent of the Interborough
Rapid Transit 5s have indicated their
approval. No special effort has been
made to bring the latter behind the
proposal, as this, it is felt, can be done
at any time. The necessity of obtain
ing the assent of practically 100 per
cent of the Manhattan Elevated stock
holders still stands as the chief po-
tential obstacle to the success Of the
plan. Eighty per cent are in, but
two holders of substantial blocks of
the stock, one understood to be an
insurance company, have so far not
come in, believing that the property,
ex Intcrborough and ex extensions
which are bleeding it, as banker ex-
pressed it yesterday, is more valuable
than is recognized under the plan. In
terests seeking an agreement, how
ever, are fairly confident that these
objectors will be brought into line
eventually.

Negotiation, preparation and flo

business an aspect of industry which
ISIS sadly lacking now. There is an
average amount of over-the- counter
trading under way, but this is largely
in the background and does not modify
the impression of dullness obtaining in

everywhere the keenest interest in
what the other fellow may have and
almost universal admission that the
slate, so far as the particular house IS
concerned, is clean of new business.

for early offering is $4,000, 900 bond

Lloyd George Aids Sentiment

Exposition of the British position by
Premier Lloyd George and Sir Robert
Horne, Chancellor of the Exchequer,
served measurably to bolster sentiment
regarding the European outlook. Their
statements were appreciated not mere
ly because they were believed to be
firmly grounded, but for the evidence
they supplied that the impending con-
ference between Lloyd George and Pre-
mier Poincare might produce results.
The turn for the better in sentiment
was reflected in slight frming of
quotations in the foreign exchange
market and for foreign government is
