CURB ISSUES DROP
AFTER GOOD START
Stutz Motor Is One of Few EX-
ceptions, Selling at New High
/ Record on Initial Dividend

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.--Trading on the
Curb followed the movements on the Stock
Exchange closely, as it had done on all the
preceding days of the week. There was
a display of strength at the opening, with
aggressive buying in number of issues,
but before the end of the first 10 minutes
It was apparent that stocks were In supply
at, the higher levels. and during the re-
mainder of the day declines were in order
except in a few issues.
There was a wide opening in Chevrolet,
that stock selling at 1919 and 1876 and at the
same time in different parts of the crowd.
Stutz Motor opened at 67b and advanced
to the new high record of GS&, with the
buying based almost wholly on the declara-
tion of the initial dividend; also on the
authorized statements that earnings are at
the rate of $40 a share and that the COM
pany has placed almost all its 1917 output
on contracts now on the books.
briggs Seabody showed a steadier tone,
ranging from 10 to 6s. Aetna Explosives,
after opening at IN, yielded under
liquidating sales recessions were noted in
Kathodion Bronze preferred and other
specialties.
The oil stocks were quiet and without
important change. Mining stocks were in
active.

NEW YORK, Sept 1.-Because of enor-
nous realizing the local cotton market
failed to meet Liverpools extraordinary ad-
vance this morning. That market at one
time was 72 points net higher, equal to
144 American points, representing the
greatest single upturn in its history, duS
primarily to n scare over the sensationally
bullish crop report yesterday.
But with several holidays ahead, the
volume OF profit-taking here checked the
market and. after opening TO 81 points
higher with October showing the greatest
rise, the market eased back at the end of
the first 20 minutes and was even with
last nights close again.
The market showed hesitation during the
middle Of the morning. 1t was reported
that October contracts had been sold on
the early advance against Eastern belt
cotton available for delivery on contract,
and the tendency to take profits for over
the holidays was increased by the reports
of rains at numerous points in the South
west
Trade interests were among the buyers
on declines. however and the market held
around l6.3ld for December, or at virtually
last nights closing price until after IL
o'clock. Prices then weakened further on
the detailed weather report for Texas
showing good rains and that delivery broke
to l6,2Od or about 27 points from the high
level of the morning.
The break In the southwestern rains and
the rumors of an easier spot basis carried
the market about 20 to "a points net lower
shortly after midday with January selling
at l6.14c. compared with 164se. the high
point of the morning.
Offerings were not badly taken on this
decline however, and prices showed rallies
of some 8 TO 10 points from the lowest early
in the noon hour
The receipts of cotton at the ports for
the day were estimated at 25,OgO bales,
compared with 27132 bales last week,
l5475 bales last year aud 3745 bales in
1914

tion of the soil favorable for plowing and
stated that the spring wheat yield and
Canadian yield confirmed the lowest esti-

Argentine shipments for the week were
estimated at S0S,O00 bushels, compared with

house buying oats from time to time, the
market was inclined to move with the
other grains during the greater part of the
session.
