The demand for the stock ocntinurd brisk thioughl most of the forenoon, despite the an- j noiinceiiieut thnt the gnveriinient would tnke nn appeal from the lower (ourt'si fundings, tlie price holding preltj well between 10'J and 10.1. j As if this were not enough for the shorts to contend with, the oils took a violent lurch forward on advices fiom .Mexico that the petroleum cominittie of the Mexican Senate lmd recommended thnt Article 27 of the Mexican con stitution, deuling with foreign aeipii- j sitioii of oil lands in thnt republic, j should have the retroactive feature dun- In.ited: that is to say, those piopcrhes held piior to May 1, 1017, should not be affected by the lonstitutioiial pro vision in question, This was the signal for engei hu.viiig of Mexican Petroleum shares, vvhirh advanced nt one time some Id points. The other oils, particularly Texas Coin pnii). I'uu-American and Hovnl Dutch, were drawn into line, the first leaching up to IMl'J. I'J points higher than Tliurs daj. ' - The slioit interests were not slow lh gi lisping the situation nnd their efforts to cover, nt Intervals almost frantic, were the grenter from the fact thnt a three-day recess was staring them in the face. To add to their Moublcf the supplj of slocks wns not large, although ot feiiuK weie rather freer than would otherwise have been tlie case, peihaps. because nf the extended closure of the exchange until Tuesday next. Covering operations nffected the entire list. I'nited States Steel, also selling ex-dlvuleml, sold nt a price equivalent to better thnn 104. Crucible Steel made n guln of some S points. The rub ber group wns extremely strong, like wine tlie leathers nnd shippings. About tin only weak feature wns .' merienn Agricultural Chemieal, which bioke fi points or more because of n probable cut n the dividend foreshadowed by tlie larnings statement indicating the divi dend had not been enrned. Itnlln were firm to strong, but uot tsprcinllj netjve. Texns and Pacific in its character as au oil stock was of course the outstanding feature of strength in that quarter. After conferring with his fellow labor leaders Mr (.ompera made an appoint ment wilh tlie "President at Ii o'clock, and while this enme nfter tlie market closed it was regarded with the most favorable anticipation in view of the dispatch which he had caused to bn sent' to local union heads, udvislng against strike measures until it can be demon strated what the government would te able to accomplish In cutting prices.

Aug. 211. The coffee ninrk't held steady nt the decline right after tlie opening and many traders be lieved that the drop of 1H0 points in December since Wednesday, has car ried values as low as pres-ent conditions warrant. Most of tlie curly selling was attributed to llquidnilon by outside 'in terests, through being nbsorbed by some of tlie leading tiade houses. Santos 4s, nt Lite, cost nnd freight, arc away above n parity with Decem ber at 17.90 on tlie local exchange. The local spot niurkct hns also felt the effect of wcukness in options here, nnd declines in Santos and Ilrazil were also reported. 233t 239 80 74 C7 87'i 42.i 42 87 00 92H C0U 0 19 13.

The former mndo n fresh upward flight of T$1 points to Dili, wlille the latter moved up a ponts to 78. The livliest trading, however, was .1 Klectric Storage Ilat tcry, In which approximately 7000 shares changed hands. Itather than stimulating interest in tlie local shares the opening jamboree In the New York market hnd the effect to restrict activity In the locals. The rapid and sensational changes in the larger market were too alluring in com parison with the slower-moving locals. The market, Vts a whole, however, re vealed a iniicli improved tone. Sentiment here Is equally cheered by the same influences which produced the radical chnnge.of temper of speculation in the metropolis. Th the general local list price chances other thnn those mentioned above were confined within narrow limits. As a matter of fact, the majority remained unchanged. Such wns the experience of American Ship, American (las, J. G. Drill nnd I'nited Gas Improvement. Le high Navigation! registered a 4 sain and Philadelphia Klectric better. On the other hand there were advances of a point and over in those stocks hav ing a double market here and In New lork. The bond dealings were restricted and without special feature of interest. There has been quite a good deal of interesting gossip In tiunncial circles nccompniijliig the forward movement in Klectric Storage Ilnttery during the last few months, while the price of stock wns steadily lifted from the 00's to nearly .$100 a share. It is nu open secret that strong interests hove been quietly buying the stock to gain con trolling interest. Whether tills has been accomplished or not is a question still to be answered. As in all similar accumulating enmpnigns the identity of the purchasers has been skillfully nnd cleverlj 'concealed. At vnrious times positive testimony wins given linking the persistent buying to certain inter ests, but it was never possible to ob tain reliable finger prints or earmarks to confirm thin circumstantial evidence. This much always was patent, broker age connections known to bo closely allied with the so-called diil'ont in terests were directly or indirectly the more prominent buyers. Anptlicr link in the circumstantial evidence connecting the steady absorp tion of the stock b) tho dul'onts was furnished in the teak n few days ago concerning certain radical changes in the managerial or business policy in severnl important departments of the company's plant. These changes on the surface Indicated n prospective closer relationship with the motor or automobile properties in which the du l'onts nrc known to have active in terest. An illuminating light on the owner ship of tlie stock would be given if It were poislble to obtain reliable infor mation concerning the holdings of prom inent Iocnl and New York financial in terests who were supposed, with their friends nnd nllied Interests, to exercise controlling interest. Four of these prominent financiers nrc dead. It is au open question whether their holdings have been retained by their estates. In the case of two it is widely known the executors liquidated all holdings of a speculative or semispcculntive char acter. It Is altogether probable like ac tion was taken by the trustees or ex ecutors of the other estates. If this is the case It would be interesting to know where these holdings are now lodged. In all cnnamlgns engineered to obtain controlling interest of a corporation the cleaning up of the market floating sup ply of stoek Is Invariably preceded by private negotiations for the purchase of known existing large blocks of stocks held by individual interests. Thel relatively scant supplyof Klec tric Storago Ilnttery stock revealed dur ing the current movement would indi cate this part of the program had al ready been accomplished. There must be a showdown of hands sooner or later, and until that comes the movement must necessarily remain in the category of n mystery.
