OF THE FINANCIAL WORLD-NEW YORK AM
TONE Is IRREGULAR
in OUTSIDE MARKET
Initial Trading in Roanoke
Ore and Iron-Standard
Oil Issues Decline
New York. Sept. II.


The market tone and price move
ments on the Curb were irregular, with
some issues in good demand and maxi
ing substantial gains, while others
were supplied at substantial losses.
Bullish interest was most pro-
nounced in Aetna Explosives, which
advanced to u, a gain of more than
point from its low price of yester-
day.
A new feature in the trading was
the appearance of Roanoke Ore and
Iron, in which the initial trading was
on large scale at prices ranging from
u to l fs, with buying coming chiefly
from interests here and in the South.
Although the announcement was made
couple of days ago of the intention
of Government representatives to apply
price-fixing to petroleum products. start
ing with a reduction in the price of
gasoline, the oil stocks did not feel the
influence of the changed situation until
this morning, when there were violent
declines in the Standard Oil issues, with
Atlantic Refining dropping from 965 to
915 and many other stocks In that group
sold down from 20 to 40 points.
Independent oil stocks were fairly
steady, with Houston Oil selling at 75.
There was a continued demand for STAN
ton Oil around 2.
Motor stocks were steadier. Chevrolet
selling at 116 and United Motors was
traded in at 2SB to 29b.
Wright sold at rs to 71a and

lere was TO prpcipitation.


Active selling by commission houses.
with demand scattered led to weaker
opening when prices showed losses of
20 to AZ points.
Liverpool was a seller at the outset
but New Orleans houses bought and,
with covering ahead of the holiday to.
morrow. eventually rallied the market
prices being steady at net decline Of
about 80 points.
The early break carried prices 60
to 70 points net lower with October
selling to 34.40. or 10 points below the
high level of yesterday. There seemed
TO be little pressure from the South,
however, and 1t was reported around the
ring that some hedges sold in anticipa-
tion of spots last night, were being
covered on the decline
These bullish spot advices helped to
check the decline and the market turned
firmer on Liverpool buying and covering
y by shorts. The latter was more active
after the publication of the weekly re-
port of the Weather Bureau, with
October selling up to S4.77 or 81 from
the lowest.
