Mexico JubiIa1t Over
!. Neutral Board Decision
NV nisnatcn A. P. Mirel

MEXICO CITY, April 2S.-The de-
cision of the special claims commits
sion against the United States in the
Santa YsabeI case, continues to be
commented upon with the utmost sat
isfaction by Mexican newspapers, Of
ficials and the public generally. The
comment is accompanied by criticisms
of the attitude of the United States.
Mexicans are eagerly awaiting Of
ficial announcement from Washing
ton although the belief prevails that
the American government will sup
port Judge Perry, United States COM
missioner, and Attorney II, A.. Bash
am, in the contention that the de-
cision was improperly rendered ani
therefore not binding, and will insist
on a new hearing.
Ell Universal says editorially::
Mexico has only received justice
both countries agreed to abide by the
commissions decision, and the United
States has no right to violate its
promise, ,when the decision goes
against it,"
Judge Perry and Basham are pre-
pairing formal details of the objec-
tions they propose to place in the
record Judge Perry will proceed tc
the United States soon, and whether
he will attend the September meet
ing at Tampico depends upon the at
titude of the state department,

NEW YORK MARKET
Features OF the Days Dealings I'm All
the Leading Stocks

New York, Feb. 19.-(By The
Associated Press) - Today's stock
market again failed to develop any
definite price trend. Industrials were
inclined to sell off on a renewal of
professional selling pressure, but the
decline was held in check by the
brisk demand for the railroad shares,
several of which closed one to two
points higher, The impending holi-
day led to rather extensive evening
up of speculative commitments
which accounted. in part. for the
confused price movements. Trading
continued in moderate volume, the
days sales aggregating 1,437,6OO
shares.
Call money renewed at Sd per
cent but was marked up to in the
early afternoon when banks began
to call loans, presumably as re-
suit Of the publication of the fed
eral reserve report showing an In
ere Ise of nearly $45, 100000 in brok-
ers' borrowings in the week ended
February 10. The only dividend
declaration of % cent extra on
Ohio Oil.
The weekly mercantile reviews re-
ported little change in the general
business situation. Dun's SAYS 1T is
still a fact that favorable business
reports predominant" describing
conditions as inherently sound:
Bradsi reefs sets forth that whole
sale trade appears to be leading re-
tail and manufacturing by good
Margin adding that spring goods
in most lines are moving well ana
there are enough orders in lmne-
date consumption to make up very
fair total"
