New York, Feb. S-The market performance of representative for eign government and corporate is. ues was one of the features of the substantial rise of security markets during the month of January, acc cording to foreign bond associates, whose index of 50 representative foreign bonds rose during January from 51.80 to 59.02, or 13.9 per cent. Latin American bonds, in. cluded in the index, appreciated 20.4 per cent. during January and European bonds 13.9 per cent. Asiatic bonds showed gain of 4.6 per cent.

 As the purpose is to prevent failures caused by undue hardship imposed by provisions of codes the condition of all concerns re. porting that they cannot operate under the codes affecting their lines will be considered. Steps will be taken to assist those entitled to monetary consideration.

Inasmuch as the first MIRA code became effective July 17 and the Presidents Unemployment Agree ment on August 1, the Recovery Act could not have contributed to any business failures prior to those dates. MT Whiteside added.
 The analysis is included in Mir Whiteside's preliminary report of plans for a complete business sur vey of industries under codes, to be kept up daily. He and Col. Rob ert H. Montgomery. chief of the Research and Planning Division of MIRA, were recently assigned by General Johnson to determine methods of liberalizing extension of monetary credit for the benefit of industries an dtrades operating under codes.
 "Th year 1923" says MT Whideside, twas one of good gen. eral business conditions and rela- lively low commercial mortality. For that reason it is particularly significant that the failure totals of the last months of 1883 were un- der those of the last months of 192S."-

RESC|ND ORDER
On OIL PRICE

WASHINGTON, Feb. /. U.P)-An
administrative order, scheduled to
come effective today, proposing a
schedule of minimum prices for
petroleum and its products has
been rescinded by Oil Administrator
IckeS.
In announcing the revocation,
Ickes said that the purchase and
marketing agreements for the oil
industry, approved by him on jan
uary Il, made unnecessary the pro-
mitigation of the proposed mini
mum price schedule.
The purchase and marketing
agreements, Ickes said, are designed
to achieve Stabilization of the oil
industry, the primary aim of the
administration, and to eliminate the
necessity for price fixing schedules.
"For these reasons he said,
u am reyoking my orders of Oc-
tober 16 and subsequent orders ex
tending the effective date of the
proposed price schedule from
December l to February l.
"Should it appear necessary in
the public interest in the future to
regulate petroleum prices, a. new
schedule will be prepared under my
direction as a substitute for the
schedule now being revoked, which
was recommended by the planning
and coordination committee repre-
senting the industry under the oil
code. -
