BEHIND The
TICKER

NEW YORK The strenuous
opposition of six state govern
ments to the Cole bill for federal
regulation of the petroleum bust
ness was the first ray OF light to
penetrate the heavy clouds over
hanging the industry in some time.
Many optimistic Wall Streeters
took IL to mean that the threat OF
federal control Is now dispelled
and that the oil companies pros
poets will improve steadily from
now on. The tip has been spread
In some brokerage offices that II
wouldn't be a bad idea to buy oil
shares at this point.
But the best-informed analysts
insist that such bullishness Is pre-
mature. to say the least. Case
line inventories already enor-
nous - are still rising. and gaso-
line has rarely been in a worse
statistical position. Despite re-
cent drastic curtailment in some
states, crude oil output Is also
still abnormally high. The state
Of Illinois shows no sign OF re-
stricting production. Unless IL
does so, experts estimate that the
Illinois fields viii produce about
100. 900 900 barrels of oil this year
40. 900, 900 more than in 1889.
This would certainly be bad news
for the industry as whole.
Foreign shipments of American
oil companies have been cut by
more than IS per cent since the
war began. Foreign sales may
pick up later, but there are no
indications OF this as yet. More
over, abrogation Of the American
japanese trade treaty may lead
to the loss of an extremely inn
portant oil export market. Quite
apart from the fate Of the Cole
bill, the current outlook for the
industry is fundamentally any
thing but attractive to either in
vestors or spectators.
Bearish - Banking insiders re-
port that short positions on the
Paris Stock Exchange increased
from 275, 0o0. 900 francs at the end
Of December to 307, 000. 900 francs
at the end Of January ~ jump
Of more than IL per cent A
franc is currently worth a little
more than two cents.
This evidence Of an increasingly
bearish attitude on the part OF
French traders tends to confirm
reports which have appeared In
this column TO the effect that
Anglo-French finances are in a
preearious state. New Workers In
close touch with Europe get word
that French financial circles are
privately extremely jittery.
c. l. T.-Commercial Investment
Trust Ia the leading independent
installment finance company. Its
established position and extensive
organization have enabled IL 10
maintain its sscendancy In the
field despite increasing oompeti-
ton from commercial banks.
The volume Of instaliment paper
purchased by c. /. T. Increased
sharply in the last quarter Of 1899
As profits depend on outstanding
volume Of paper, the company
should show better earnings for
the first quarter Of 1870 than the
IS cents a share recorded Ia the
same period Of 1888.
The stock Of this company has
acted well IN recent weak markets.
Informed analysts figure IL will
cover its - dividend this year
with plenty 10 spare.

Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio

its own against the intensive eff
forts being put forth by all other
candidates and particularly the
Taft workers.
