INCOME FOR OIL
FARMERS Up

The oil farmer, who has bene-
fitted from series Of increases
in the price of crude oil, repre-
sents virtually the only group
whose income was greater in the
first six months of 1882 than it
was in the corresponding period
of 1881, according to a compila-
ton in the T. s. Hose weekly re-
view Of the petroleum industry.
Income from the sale of oil as
a commodity was 80 per cent
greater in the first half Of this
year than it was in the same half
of last year. During the same
period dividends paid to the hold
ers Of steel stocks decreased 81
per cent; railroad stocks So per
cent; on motor stocks 40 per cent;
bank and insurance stocks 81 per
cent. and public utilities 10 per
cent.
The holders of oil stocks also
had their return reduced by 81
per cent or almost the same
amount as the income of the oil
farmer increased.

NEW YORK, July 9 Q.NSJ.
The Lausanne conference results
proved to be a dud so far as the
market was concerned.
While the agreement at Lau-
same is undoubtedly bullish, it
is only so from the long range
point Of view. But it is not
going to put any money into the
treasures Of the companies whose
stocks are listed on the big
board"
Profits Are What Count
No upward movement can be
considered as more than jiggle
until the net income item in the
quarterly statement shows a de-
cided improvement, for that is
what counts.
Any rise in the market will
find plenty of stock coming out,
but it should be remembered that
In markets as thin as this one,
commitments on either side are
equally dangerous.
While the wheat market may
be entitled to a further rally.
it looks as If any upturn will
have the red lights against it at
the start. The reason is simply
the Farm Board, which has
$4,000, 900 or 100000 bushels Of
wheat in its elevators and about
the same amount coming to 1t
in September and December
The big question overhanging
the market is what the board
intends to do.
Must Buy or Sell
If it takes the wheat on
delivery, it will mean that much
more cash wheat to sell, and
if it does not intend to take
the wheat on delivery it means
that the board some time be-
tween now and the first Of the
year must sell it on the open
market.
This brings up the question
as to who will buy wheat when
it becomes known that the Farm
Board is trying to sell,

LATIN AMERICA
NEAR|ED Of
'PAN|SN'

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, July
8 ONS0.-Opposition to pan
Americanism is growing in Span
ish-American countries, DR.. j. F.
Normano, Of Harvard, declared
here today at the sixth annual
institute Of public affairs Of the
University Of Virginia.
Spanish America places no
faith in pan-Americanism and
with the exception Of Brazil, is
presenting a united front with
European countries against North
America, he stated, adding:
FEARS UNITED STATES
"The most discussed problem
Of inter.American relations in
Latin America Is American
danger not pan-Americanism
"A ceaselcss opposition to Of
ficial pan-Americanism is grow
ing. Spanish America partici.
pates in pan-AmericaniSm, but
places neither her faith nor her
affection In 1t. A revolt
against 1t Is drawing near"
Normano said the attack on
the existing order was both in
ternal and external, declaring
the revolt is already evidenced in
the Pan-American Union.
He pointed out the Washington
organization has been branded
as a manifestation Of North
American imperialism" by some
Latin-American leaders. He con-
tinued:
"SOuth America, though she
still performs her habitual
cOurteSies to her most dan
gerOus wOoer, the United States,
would in reality prefer to keep
at q safer distance. She is
tinid at his approach.
FIirtS With Europe
Meanwhile, feeling more
tender toward his European
rivals, she is Strategically &C
cepting their advances, thereby
assuring herself Of helpers in
time of distress.
"Thus the European rivals
Unexpectedly find themselves
on common ground with South
America. The countries Of
both continents are presenting
q united front against the in
roads of the North American
aggreSSOr. But Brazil is not
Joined with them"
