Reorganizations Proposed.

New York City.-A ~$36,01a,000
slump struck the curb market, Stand
ard Oil shares selling off to the ex-
tent of $23, O00, 900 in two hours of
trading and American Tobacco de-
clining $13, 900, 00Oin the same length
of time.
The greatest excitement attended
the decentralization of the curb mar
ket, big blocks of both Standard Oil
and American Tobacco being thrown
on the market faster than 1t could be
absorbed.
The chaotic condition which has
been caused by the promised distrfpu-
ton of Standard shares was a strong
contributing factor.
That the slump was also due to
some extent to manipulation by big
interests was indicated by the fact
that much of the stock absorbed was
taken up by brokers said to represent
one of the most powerful money or
CARNATIONS in America.
The announcement that American
Tobacco has passed its quarterly div.
idend, and the PRONUNCIATION of a let.

common stock announcing that a
plan of reorganization is being
worked out, were mainly responsible
for the slump in American Tobacco,
