curb Market dealings consisted OF
further heavy selling In some of the
recent favorites among the oil shares,
profit'taking in number OF other
specially favorites and the bidding up
'of few selected stocks in which IA
vorable developments are thought TO
be pending.
Enormous blocks Of low-priced South
American oil issues continued to
change hands. The fact that Standard
Oil interests are becoming more and
more interested in properties located
in the Maracaibo Basin apparently
was having its effect upon speculative
sentiment toward this class of stocks.

AGREED ON TERMS
OF MEXICAN BONDS
Bankers Adopt New Plan to
Pay Off Debt of Over
$5OO,OOO,OOO.

! By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 14.-Formal
announcement that fresh start was
being made toward carrying out the
. MeXlcan debt agreement, involving
that countrys $500,000,000 Of exter-
nal obligations with several hundred
millions of accumulated interest,
| was made yesterday by the interna-
tional committee of bankers on Mex
| leo. which recommended that all
| bondholderS accept notifications ar
| ranged by the committee with
Finance Minister A. j. PAM last
| October.
Simultaneous announcements in
London, Paris and Mexico City
| siGnaliZed the restoration of the plan
| In its modified form. 1t is expected
ceived by the bankers will be per-
mitted to accumulate for a three or
| six month period and then be dis
| tributed to the bondholders.
Conference Reviewed.
A statement issued by the com
mittee explaining the situation re-
viewed the conference between the
! bankers and Minister PAM last Octo-
| Der which resulted in the signing OF
| the notifications agreement, reached
| at another conference in 1922, and
ratified by President Gales of
| Mexico. This agreement was car
| ried out III 1928. but suspended by
| the Mexican government in 1924 be
| cause of its inability to carry out
| the terms of the agreement.
| The international committee, says
the statement, lin order to establish a
fresh working ARRANGEMENT, has ac-
| cepted the terms declared by the Mex
| lean government to be within its ca
pacity of fulfillment. The international
| committee believes ii TO be to the adj
vantage Of the holders of outstanding
government and railroad obligations
| to accept the terms OF the modified
| agreement, as in the opinion or the
committee the acceptance by the
bondhoiders of the notifications now
| arranged forms the only practical
method to bring about the resumption
by the Mexican government Of the
payments upon its outstanding foreign
obligations.
Cooperation Needed.
"The committee believes also that the
co.operation of the bondholders along
the lines indicated will prove TO the Ill
| innate advantage of the bondholders
| themselves and is calculated 10 con
! tribute to the further stability and
| fiscal progress of the Mexican govern
! ment.
| The committee is now, by public
advertisement. bringing TO the atten-
! ton of the bondholders who deposited
| under the 1922 agreement the terms
| of the notifications as covered by the
| modified agreement OF october 20,
! 1925. The committee unanimously
recommends to bondholders the &C
ceptance OF these notifications
