STOCKS CLOSE OFF .
HEAVY PROFIT WHEN
TAKING is STARTED
Street Feels Effect of Rise
in Rediscount
Rate. !!
Ry STUART P. WEST.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Feb. 26.-The way the
market looked today to Smany good
judges was that United States Steel
common and a half dozen or so Of the
rails were bid up in the early trad
ing in order TO facilitate distribution
of stocks in other directions and that
later on this selling began to show.
1t was good tactics to bring steel
common forward as a leader because
the backwardness of this stock and the
fact that it has gained little ground
since the first of the year has been
n subject of unfayorable comment.
The resumption of buying in some of
the railway shares was inspired by the
prospect that the January earnings
statement will make the same sort
of favorable showing that was made
in December.
1t was said that altimore & Ohio
would show earnings at the rate OF
- per cent on the common stock and
this report caused a brief upturn in
these shares. Atlantic Coast Line
had an upward whirl, but these gains
were very soon Cancelled.
In the meantime the general mar
ket was quite unrespOnsive to the
strength in these particular stocks.
Selling went on quietly and persist
emily in the equipments. motors, cop
pcrS, oils, sugars and other leaders
Of the recent advance.
While the street was asking itself
whether the upward movement had
been checked the fact was that prices
had unObtrusively slipped away until
shortly after midday two and three
point losses were shown as compared
with the recent highs.

WEATHER IN ARCTICS
Why Some Regions Warm Up and
Others Get Cold Is Mystery,

Washington. ID. C., Feb. 26.-Arctic
regions seem to be warming up III
certain portions and growing colder
in others and, as these conditions al
feet weather all over the earth, CX-
perts of the weather bureau are en-
deavoring to solve the mystery.
In the Greenland sea, north of
EurOne, milder weather and less ice
than ever before has prevailed this
winter. while in the Boring Sea and
in the regions north of America,
unusually heavy ice has been report
ed. The cause of the unusual cOndi-
tons has not been fathOmed by
meteorologists.
The gulf stream. which circles
around the Gulf of Mexico, passes
through the straits of Florida and
sweeps northeastward across the
Atlantic ocean between Iceland and
Norway, has been traced by one
oCeanOgraphic expedition as warm
surface current beyond the Slst
parallel of latitude, which would be
some $500 miles north of Hammer
fest, Norway.
This expedition sailed as far north
as 81 degrees, 30 minutes, in ice free
waters.
Arctic ice conditions are said to be
exceptional in this particular region,
and many old landmarks are SO chang
ed as to be unacceptable. Where
formerly great masses of ice were
found are now often accumulatiOns
of earth and stones. At many points
where glaciers formerly extended far
into the sea about the island of
Spitzbergen. 1000 miles north of Nor
way, they have entirely disappeared.

THINK FRENCH
WILL FINANCE
BANCO UNICQ
Three Members of Commits
sion Pass Through Here
on Way to New York.
MAKE NO STATEMENT
Hear American Bankers
Turned Project Down But
Will Loan to French.

Belief, founded upon reliable re-
ports, is expressed in San Antonio
that the purpose of the Mexican COM
mission which passed through Satur-
day evening, on their way to New
York, will meet there for the purpose
of financing the proposed Banco
Unico. The three members of the
commission refused to discuss the pur-
pose of their visit to New York. Ro-
bertO Casas Alatriste, head of the
commission, will pass through San
Antonio, Monday evening or Tuesday
morning.
The members of the commission here
Saturday evening, We're Olayo Rubio,
of the Mexican treasury department,
and representative of AdolfO de la
Huerta; Elias lie Lima. banker; and
Miguel Palacios MacedO, an attorney
of the City of Mexico.
Americans Loan Money.
The report current in San Antonio
is that negotiations are under way for
French bankers TO purchase 40 per
cent of the stock of the proposed
Banco Unico. An effort was first
made. it was learned, to induce Ameri-
can bankers to aid in financing the
bank. For some reason, unknown to
those acquainted with Mexican affairs,
the American bankers refused to pur-
chase the stock, but agreed to lend
money to French bankers who in turn
will purchase the stock,
Agustin LegorTeta, formerly presi-
dent and director of the dissolved Ma
tional Bank of Mexico, passed through
San Antonio in the latter part of Jan
uary, on his way to New York. From
New York he went to Paris, France.
According TO reports here, he, together
with a number of French bankers,
will meet with the commission in New
York some time this week.
Keep Voting POwcxs.
Reports emanating from Mexico are
that the Banco Unico, of which 81 per
cent of the stock will be held in Next
co. will be opened during the coming
spring. The truth of this report, how
ever, has been disputed by contra
dictory report that the Banco Unico
will not be opened until a later date,
possibly after the expiration of Presi-
dent Obregon's present term of office.
Although the Mexican government
is reported to have set aside 100000
pesos for the payment of interest on
its foreign debt, and the impression
prevails that the purpose of the COM
mission in New York is to arrange
some satisfactory method of handling
the foreign debt, it is not believed by
those acquainted with Mexican affairs,
that the payments or the foreign loan
will be made at any time within the
near future.
