STOCKS ADVANCE IN NEW YORK
FOLLOWING DECLINES AT START
Early Drop, Due to New Restrictions of Credit for Trad
ing Purposes, Is Offset Quickly Rails and Other
Leaders Become Prominent
, New Wk, Oct. 25.
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.

The explanation generally given for
tho disappointing figures was the Influ

a number of States because of conges

Outside of the ginning figures there

Th advice on tho unexpectedly light
ginning figures carried the market 50 to

There was considerable realizing nnd

MEXICAN PETROLEUM
WHY IT IS
A GREAT PEACE STOCK
C. W. 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.'

"Retailers of dry goods, men's and

also been similarly affected.
"The local cotton jarn market during

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

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

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
