LATE DEMAND FOR
CURB SECURITIES
Spccialties Particularly Active
and Score Substantial
- Gains.

A firm tone marked the trading in the
outside market yesterday after a dull
and irregular opening. In the early part
Of the session stocks were dull and price
movement irregular. but in tho after
noon there was a demand for almost
every active issue in the list The spe-
cialties were particularly active and
scored substantial advances.
Etna Explosives was a Arm spot In
the early trading, advancing more than
point over the previous days low
price. This was due to the fact that the
damage done to the cotton publication
plants at Mount Union as q result Of
fire was not SO large as first reported.
The report OF earnings for May also
prompted buying. A gain in the report
was shown over the April figures, but
did not come up to expectations. This
was because of tho loss as the result OF
the explosion OF its plant at Oakdale.
United Motors was a strong spot and
established new high level for the cur
rent year. The other motors, however.
were quiet and lower. Chevrolet declin-
ing about 8 points. Among the special
ties Penn Seaboard and Penn Coke and
Coal were firm.
Mining shares were quite active, espe-
cially the lower priced coppers. which
advanced in sympathy with the metal
shares on the Stock Exchange.
Bonds were active and little changed.

special meeting yesterday and author
yea the issuance of $4,000, 900 6 Der
cent. seven year bonds convertible after
TWO years into the stock of the compa 4
at loo. The aggregate vote was 3.12S,-
80 snares in favor OF the issue ana 20 [
opposed. The meeting was enlivened by
a protest from Clarence II. Venner. who
alleged trait the contract with the bank
ing syndicate underwriting tho proposed
issue was contrary to the company's
charter
Mr.. Venner further alleged that by
the sale OF convertible bonds at "a. less
commissions of 3 per cent, or 4 per cent.
the company will not receive par for Its
capital stock issued upon conversion of
.he ponds. The law does not permit"
ne said, "a corporation to issue stock at
less than par, but WIKI at It cannot do
directly 1t may not do indirectly through
tne evasive process of first selling con-
Vertiole bonds at n heavy discount"
The committee on securities OF the
New York Stock Exchange ruled yester-
day that the stock of the American Tele-
pf one and Telegraph Company be quoted
ex rights tomorrow, that the warrants
to be issued by the company in connec-
ton with the subscription privilege be
admitted to dealings Tomorrow and Il at
all dealings be on the basis of 800 sub
scription warrants instead of tho rights
accruing on individual shares. This
ruling was made in connection with the
onering to stockholders of the right to
subscribe to $4,000, 900 bonds to the
extent of 500 in bonds for each ten
shares held.

COFFEE MARKET.

The principal feature In the coffee
market yesterday was the continued de-
cline in Santos futures, which caused
further scattering liquidation here. and
after opening unchanged to a decline of
points values eased of, with the close
showing net losses OF 3 to s points The
sharp advances recently in the Brazilian
markets was believed to be the covering
OF shorts, but the weight Of supplies
later turned values downward and the
first cable posted on the exchange
showed futures in Santos rs to $50 reis
down from the previous close, and rs
to $50 reis below the . rs p. N. cable
Of July 2.
There were no fresh offers In tho cost
and freight market. but II Is believed
that Santos will be easier. judging from
the declines in futures there. In the To-
cal spot market the demand showed Inn
provement and a fair business was doing
on the basis of liz cents for Santos Is
and S1a cents for Rio 7s.
The amount OF coffee afioat for the
