SELLING PRESSURE
DISAPPEARS FROM
STOCK EXCHANGE
Oil and Railway Shares
Are Advanced
Sharply.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Copyright, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, March 17.-In today's
stock market the few important
moves that occurred were all upward.
The statement by the chairman of the
Mexican Petroleum board in refuta-
ZION of Standard Oil statement of Fri
day brought about fair recovery in
Pan American stocks. Active buy
ing went on in Sinclair Consolidated
and Producers and Refiners. In both
instances prospective dividends were
the principal motive.
Next to the oil shares the railway
group was the most prominent. Both
American Locomotive and Lima Loco
motive made new highs but there was
nothing new in this connection.
Sinclair Oil at IS, was up two
aoints on the day. The street is look
~ for an increase in the dividend
from the present 81 to at least SO a
share. Marland Oil which is earning
$40 a share and paying only 81 cross
ed 46 for the first time.
Some Of the rails did better toward
the close, notably Delaware and Hud-
son. Piggy Wiggly had had its ten
point break Friday on the idea that
the squeezing of the short interest
was through with and that the
stock WINS under a cloud because of
the stock exchange investigation. into
recent operations. It's speedy rally
today, however. showed that the float
ing supply was still very small. The
market closed strong and considerably
more active.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

The selling pressure which had been
in the stock market Friday was not
continued today. Trading was still
quiet in comparison with the heavy
totals at the outset OF the week. and
this showed that the speculative cam
paign is being conducted much more
soberly. Nevertheless when it was
discovered that the weakness Of the
previous day in parts os the list was
not continuing. special operations for
the rise were resumed.
The Mcxic9n oil controbersy took
the expected turn when the head of
Mexican Petroleum and Pan Ameri-
can came out with statement refut-
ing and pessi'niStic comments OF the
chairman of the Standard Oil.
The foreign exchanges were dull
and yer" little changed. The check
TO the recovery in French francs was
evidently due to German denial that
any nego iations for q Ruhr settle
ment had been opened. Sterling was
virtually stationary, still three cents
under its high OF n month ago.
