TEXAS IS WATCHED
BY OIL INDUSTRY
Railroad Commission Plans Hear
ing Today to Fix Details of
PROBATION Law.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla. November 26.-As has
been the case frequently in the last two
years, prospective developments in
Texas are the chief concern of mid
continent oil men this week.
In Austin the Railroad Commission,
charged with control of the States oil
production, had on calendar hearing
for today to fix allowances and issue
orders on crude oil output based on the
new law permitting curtailment to mar
ket demand.
Coming. as it does, on the heels Of
authoritative forecasts of sharply re-
duced consumption until well into next
year, the hearing is charged with more
than ordinary importance.
Looming larger every day, the Gull
Coast areas of the State are due to re-
ceive considerable attention, perhaps
more than East Texas, where the prob
lem of proration has been simplified by
definite knowledge of field conditions.
The bulk of the midcontinents ex-
ploration now is being carried on In the
Gulf Coast rdgion; new wells have been
discovered and pools enlarged sufficlent
to give this area virtually as great I'M
portance as East Texas.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, November 26.-Most
brokers today saw no prospect OF a
change in market trends while the debt
question remains uppermost.
Comments include:
Redmond g. Co.-Although the mar
ket probably could and viii stage
sharp rally as soon as a satisfactory
compromise is reached on the Decem-
Der IS payments, there are still other
obstacles in the path of business and
securities recovery, such as the balanc-
ing of the Federal budget, revenue
legislation, including the possibility OF
a beer bill at the short session of Con-
gress, and probable revision OF the tarin,
which may be delayed until after the
new administration comes into power.
Hamershlag. Borg & Cot seems
nc exaggeration to state that the &C
ton of all speculative markets will
be temporarily governed by the prog
ress of intergovernmental debt nego-
tiations.
Frazier Jelke & Co-In our opinion
great deal depends on the early
behavior of sterling, as the price OF the
British pound has a definite influence
over the prices of wheat cotton and
other commodities basic in American
economy.
Hornblower g. Weeks-We would be
inclined to await further evidence that
current reactionary tendencies have
run their course before assuming other
than a strictly trading attitude toward
the market.
Shields 81 Co-With the debt ques-
ton unsettled and nothing known Of
the foreign reaction. to our attitude
there is no reason to change advised
trading policy. While no outside liq-
uidation is evidenced professional pres
sure Is likely to continue the main trend
downward until definitely favorable
news develops.

STOCKS MARK TIME
IN SHORT SESSION
Opening Is Slightly Higher,
but Part of Advance
Lost Later.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 26.-All the
markets improved slightly in today's
short week end sessions.
The gains were not entirely retained
to the end in most cases, and also, gen.
orally speaking, they were due to nc
retir ng of commitments for the decline
on the possibility of some Unexpectedly
favorable developments in the war deb
crisis before business is resumed Mon
day.
Sterling exchange opened in London
at S320ai. which was down from Fri
days close of $3.211a. but there was
decided rally on this side. First quo
tations were at S3221s. and in mid
morning transac' ions were effected at
1922. up IL points from New York'5
Friday close Montreal funds we're
weak again. starting in at IS per cent
discount and reacting to 1874 per cent
later.
Volume Is Small.
There was a better feeling in the
Chicago wheat market, with December
above 43 cents a bu-hel against yester-
days extreme low of 41l2 cents. Cotton
was slightly higher at the stalt. None
of these rallies. however. could be re-
q
Stocks marked time. The opening
was slightly higher and during the first
hour the market ranged above the prs
ceding close. Part Ct this advantage
was lot in the second half of the sss-
sion, but volume was low on the rally
and on the setback and trading was
mostly of the ev-ning-up variety.
The weekly car loadings statement
was favorable. 1t showed an increase
of 38.758 cars over the preceding week
and a decline of 118 per cent from
the corresponding week in 1881, which
was better than had been predicted.
More railroads reported larger net for
October than in that month year
ago. The railroad stocks however,
moved with the rest of the list.
Gold Stocks Neglected.
The lethargy of the market was so
pronounced that even the gold stocks,
the one group now enjoying speculative
favor, were neglected. United States
Steel common and preferred were
heavy Youngstown reported lower
prices for steel scrap and advices from
the industry were to the effect that a
seasonal decline in activity was in prog
ress.
American Telephone. Atchison, Allied
Chemical and Union Pacific were all a
point or more higher in the first hout
and all Cancelled the advance, partially
at least, before the close. The food
shares were irregular, with corn prod
ucts making the best showing.
Stocks weakened toward the close
and the market was Sagging at the
end. Special pressure was exerte i
against American Tobacco Shares,
while Standard Oil OF New Jersey and
Safeway Stores offered good resistance.

TREATMENT DIFFERENT
FOR CREDITOR GROUPS

NEW YORK, November 26 (Spe-
ciaD The City of Cordoba, Argentina,
apparently has two codes Of financial
ethics. One set of creditors is being
paid, while another is completely ig-
nored. Holders of the city's per cent
bonds, due in 1887, are now receiving
interest due November Is, while the
holders of the rs of 1857 have been
asked to forego payments Why, no one
seems to know.
Announcement that regular payment
would be made on the 1887 bonds had
precisely the same effect upon both
the defaulted issue and the one which
has not yet defaulted. Both declined
fractionally. Assuming continuance of
interest on the 1887 loan, the current
yield. at prevailing prices, is about %
per cent.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 26-With
speculation in the general list of stocks
at the low ebb of the year, Wall Street
has been forced to turn to special groups
for advertisement. The most popular
of these groups have heen the alcohol
stocks. In which strenuous attempts
have been made to attract a public
following in the expectation of prohibi-
tion modification and eventual repeal.
For time the scheme worked nicely
but enthusiasm abated when uncer-
tainty arose over the action of President
Hoover on a beer bill. when and If
passed by Congress Then much Of the
speculation was unintelligent and over
done Stocks were advanced regardless
of their present status in the way of
earnings or balance sheet position.
Sponsors for them took the cynical view
that 1t did not make any difference
about present conditions: the public
would be sure to take the stocks off the
hands of the pools So far the public
has been too wary to assume any such
burden.
1t may be interesting to name some
of the stocks included under the classi-
fication of issues likely to be aided by
repeal or modification. One Wall Street
house has tabulated them for the
benefit of its clients. The list includes
Air Reduction, American Commercial
Alcohol, Anchor Cap, Canada Dry. Corn
Products, Crown Cork g. Seal. Foster

Dividends Maintained.

One company which has been able to
maintain disbursements on its preferred
stock all through the depression is
American Sugar Refining. This is all
the more noteworthy because the sugar
industry has been depressed much
longer than any other. Moreover. the
commodity in which it deals has made
a new all-time low price during this
period. American Sugar was organized
in 1891 and never since that time has
it omitted or reduced the dividend ON
