American Cotton Oil Decides
to Pass Semi.Annual
Dividend.

By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
New York, Nov. 9,-Although ap-
proval by the court of the American
Tobacco reorganization plan had been
expected in Wall street, the move
ment of stocks today showed it had
not been discounted entirely in the re-
cent advance. Prices rose steadily
but though the demand was heavy,
the market was not unsettled by the
movement. The largest trading was
in the United States steel. This
stock was bought in the belief, that
should the dissolution suit recently
filed against the corporation be de-
cided against, the effect on security
holders, in the light of the Tobacco
decision, would not be disastrous. In
creased confidence was shown in the
buying and a heavier outside bust
ness was reported. Trading diminish
ed when the market eased off frac-
tionally Bear operators took stock
offered and the list was rising briskly
again. Union Pacific rose to II 1-2
and block of 1000 shares of United
States Steel was purchased at 61 rs,
after which it went to G2. Many
prominent stocks exceeded their pre-
yious best prices and the whole mar
ket took on a buoyant appearance.
