MESOPOTAMIA RIGHTS

Arrangements Being Made for

LONDON. October ci.-Arrange-
ments for American oil interests to be
represented jointly with Franco-Brit-
ish companies in Mesopotamia are be
cling completed. according to authori-
tative Information received fere to-
day. The exact extent of that par
ticipation has not been determined.
1t is stated that the oil concessions
in Mesopotamia in pre-war times were
owned by a German and British con-
cern. Following the treaty of San
Reno, the German interests were
transferred to the French. Now the
American have obtained an interest
through scaling down the Franco
British shares. majority of which
is still in the possession of the British
treasury. ON the other hand, it is
pointed out that the Turkish national
lists have declared the oil fields. a
large number OF which are near
Mosul, part of Turkish territory. and
that. therefore, any concessions must
be obtained through them:

BONDS ARE WEAK,

Foreign Issues Depressed by

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. October 14.-The bond
market was weak again today, but
day.
Foreign bonds were particularly de-
pressed. This was doubtless a reflec-
ton of the more series news from
abroad. particularly the rumor from
Berlin that the German government
was contemplating a declaration Of
bankruptcy. AS would be expected
French and Belgium issues bore the
brunt of the selling. French 71@s got
SIS sold a half point below 80. Bel
gian 71as and Belgian ss declined
about a point. The United Kingdom
issues also suffered. City of Sac Paulo
IS and Argentine Is were affected
unfavorably.

another reaction. Louisville and
Nashville unified As sold down to
within less than two points OF the
low of the year.
Atchison general As went below SIS
after last weeks rally. Among the
second grade issues to show declines
were Missouri racine general rs ana
Southern Railway As. Norfolk and
Western convertible 6s were very
active. Early trading was at an ad-
vance over yesterdays closing. but
substantially there was q reaction,
which carried prices down for a net
loss of more than Il point.
Invinclble SIS Go Up.
Invincible Oil SIS were an exception
to the general trend, selling up to
10. at which price 1t was announced
today the issue will be redeemed on
November "a next. The recent ad-
vance in the bond was evidently in
anticipation of this decision. Inter
national Mercantile Marine Gs sold at
ST.. points below the high of he year.
AT todays price the maturity yield is
6.So per cent.
1t is only question of time be-
fore bonds of this class will attract
support, no matter how unfavorable
the shipping business may be.
