MOVEMENTS
ARE MIXED ON CURB
Denials of Sun Refining Com
pany Checks Bullish Operations
in Metropolitan Petroleum

NEW YORK, May 20.-Market move
ments on the Curb were mixed, with pres
sure of many stocks which have recently
been taken by friendly subscribers the most
important feature. United Motors earlier
In the week reflected the OVERRIDING of these
new subscription offerings.
Today the stock of the CASTOR, Williams
& Wigmore Corporation sustained a further
loss, falling from 81 to 4Sia a new low rec
ord, but found support at this level and
rallied to 81. Chevrolet halted its record
breaking movement, but was active and
fiuctuated from 1913 to 1872. Mdvale Steel
pursued its usual course of receding and
advancing without important net change
at the end.
The denials made by the Sun Refining
Company had an influence in checking
bullish operations in Metropolitan Petro-
leum, but that stock held fairly good and
did not recede to any greater extent than IT
probably would have done If no such state
ment had been made Officials of the Metro
poltan Company insist that they have
the contracts in hand and insist that the
denials are technical. Various statements
in regard to these contracts, however, are
of little Importance.
Petroleum and its products have a world
market, and either the crude oil or the re
fined results do not need any special buy
ers to make the operations of such planr
should have been attached to the stories of
the Sun Refining contracts.
Changes In the general list during the
half day outside those referred to were
without Importance, the market generally
being of a waiting character and its tone
governed by the liquidating efforts in some
of the special Issues.

STEEL BUSINESS HAS FALLEN orr.
LARGEST DECLINE IN DOMFSrrr -.
Many Inquiries Are Still in Market for Exror. !,
Transit Issues Strong on Favorable voto 3. Napil
Company's Cooperative Plan A0r

Despite the fact that some steel trade
authorities state that the demand continues
ouIte good, there are others who maintain
that the falling of recently has been con-
siderable when compared with past months
Domestic inquiries and orders show the
largest decline, although foreign business
also Is not UP to that taken within the last
eight or nine months However, there are
still many Inquiries for export in the mar
ket, and large proportion Of the domestic
demand Is the result Of orders from abroad
placed with manufacturers in this country.
Shell steel is wanted in substantial
amounts, but still the total is said to- be
considerably below what was ordered Here
on other occasions. There has been drop
in the business from the railroads and this
is felt perhaps most keenly. Steel interests,
however, expected such a course by the car
riers following the large orders placed up
to two or three weeks ago.
The advance in the price of steel rails
held off buying temporarily, but
this is believed to be due more to the fact
that deliveries cannot be made until about
a year from this time than to any other

operators predicted a rally for technical
reasons. but there appeared to be more
disposition to take into consideration the

bearish view of the technical position,
