The Influence of the new conditions Imposed by tho associated banks on extensions of credit for stock market purposes was of short duration. Jtoom traders and sonic of the speculative clement sold stocks all around tho room nt the opening nnd caused declines of from 1 to 3 points, but the tone then became film nnd recoveries were In order. Taken altogether the lcsult of the long-continued conferences of the hanking Intel ests and the stock exchange authorities were without much result In further disturbing the specultitlve situation, und, instead of the tone being weakened by the announcement made yesterday of the new conditions Imposed on bortovvers, the belief prevailed that tl.ise con ditions really strengthen the situation because of the chief reasons thut buyers of stocks must necessarily be stiong In financial resources. The ihmand at the low levels established In the first few minutes came from I important sources, with bio Ing of tho best character. This was particularly Hue with the demand for Southern PaclHc, T'nlted States Steel common, Xew York Central, Union Pacific and Head ing. There wu's alo renewed accumulation of closely held Issues, -such ns Mexican Petroleum, which, after opening at lul?i, rose to 1B5. Baldwin, which told ns low as S34, lallled to 87, and similar upturns after early declines were noted In many other Issues with some stocks, like American Smelting, showing net gains In the late forenoon. Satisfaction was generally expressed over tho announcement that the banks would lequlre 30 per cent margin on loans, but this does not mean 30 points as vuiiatlons In the stock tnarekt ure measured.

BARRON says in his io.ok The Mexican Problem Xo country in the world needs clot-cr relations Kith the oil development of Mexico than the Vnitcd Stales. The future demands liot only redemption of the Mexican rnan of the soil, but the redemption of the American far'mer as well. -y- -r- '.- '. -1- The redemption of "the man with the hoe" Kill come through the gasolene motor that Kill plough spring and" fa!!, cultivate all summer, chop itood in the winter, and not "cat its head oj.". The ambition of Henry Ford is a gasolene tractor within reach of the farmer; Successjiere ivould mean itwe for the world than all gasolene motor development to date. It uould solve the labor problem on the farm; cndble the individual fartnerio hold, broad acres, by quick cultivation and crops quickly stored. The results from such Prosperity (or the farmer would be great stores of food, steadying prices for the J world. The farm power, the food power, the sea power, the world power, ay out for gasolene and fuel oil. The Pennsylvania and if Indiana oil fields are failing. California is exhausting pocket after pocket. The great oil area of the world today stretches "from "Kansas to Tchuantepec. The lightest oil is at both these extreme points. The appearance is that the great central reservoirs are in the Mexican field. Their conservation is a world-wide necessity. Their pro tection is the duty of all nations. v In this book Mr. Barron also describes the great future for oil in 'the user of the world.'

"Manufacturers of men's and boys' clothing- state that they have been un able to make deliveries of goods sold, owing to their factories having but few ' hands working and they are now re-1 celvlng some countermands for non-' delivery. I "Retailers of dry goods, men's and women's furnishings say business has also been similarly affected. "The local cotton jarn market during the last week was doll. There were Inquiries, however, for both spot and future deliveries. Commission dealers, however, do not appear to be eager for contracts: running Into the future. Yarn receipts have increased bpth by rail and boat and general conditions seem to Indicate lower prices before the end of the year, -While some mills are still busy on Government contracts, the shortage tf help, the high Prices of ar;is and over head charges indicate that It will be difficult for the smaller manufacturers to continue business. Dealers, who are selling for tM next year's deliveries, report that they are selecting only those whose commercial reputation and credit standing Is of the best.
