RECOGNITION IS DEMANDED
FOR EQUITY ASSOCIATION

NEW YORK. August 19.--An effort

Aside from the conference there was
no important development in the stu
alton today. Seventeen theaters re-
aimed closed and eight were open.
including two which had been closed
and reopened with motion pictures.
Frank Gilmore. in presenting the
actors side OF the controversy at T.

Standard Oil Payments

If all investors Jared as we'll as the
holders of Standard OIL stocks have
this year they would have little cause
to complain. Cash dividends of the
ao-called former Standard Oil subsid
aries this year will approximate slO3,-
100000, just about the same amount as
went to the stockholders in 1913. which
was record year. Cash dividends of
these companies in the current quarter
will amount to s2s ,Oo0, new high
record for the three months period.
Last year in this quarter the different
companies mailed out dividend checks
to stockholders calling for the pay
mcnt of 4,o35 900. In the third quar-
ter of the current year such disburse-
ments were S23 900 Total cash
dividend payments by the companies
since the dissolution of the STANDARD

Market Influences

Most Of the buying orders in tn.
market yesterday represented repur-
chases by shorts who were afraid N
take a chance on carrying their linz,
open over the week. For one thing. il
was felt that the market, after having
had such a decline as it sustained on
Thursday and Friday, was due in the
normal course Of events to have re-
covery, if only as a natural rebound
from the dip. The movement in this
direction was helped along by two
factors. Before the market opened
private cables received from London
told of much better feeling there
with regard to the exchanges. TIE
improvement there coincided with q
slight recovery in sterling here. Be-
sides this the word was passed around
the Street that between the close YES
terday and the close on Monday after
noon Every big developments Of ia
vorable character" would come to pass.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

After declining more than 20 cents in
value in terms Of dollars in week,
the pound sterling yesterday rallied,
and demand sterling was quoted at
$3.6825, up 21a cents above the closing
quotation on Friday. French and Bel
gian francs were also shade stronger,
but lire continued to depreciate.
Bankers and dealers in foreign ex-
change were disinclined to look upon
the rally in pounds and francs as espe-
cially significant The market has not
yet been enptied of cotton bills, and
it was estimated by one of the largest
traders in exchange in this country
yesterday that more than 100000
pounds of sterling bills are now being
offered for sale in New York every day.
Yesterdays squirt, it was said, was due
in part to short covering, and partly
to the reports from London that the
Allies were ready to make concessions
to get America to support the peace
treaty. Moreover. j. Austen Chamber
lain advised citizens Of Great Britain
that "it would be further helpful if
investments in American mortgages
were realized and repatriated." The
sale of British held American securi-
ties on large scale would to some ex-
tent create dollar exchange and Offset
the smashing decline in sterling. Brit
curities held by j. P. Morgan g. Co. as
collateral against several war loans in
this country which have been paid off,
but thus far, it is said, the selling has
not been heavy.
In the absence of the extension Of
large credits to Europe, bankers antici
pate no betterment of the exchange
situation until either the foreigners
curb their imports or increase their
exports. During the next five months,
which bankers regard as critical, Eu
rope will need to purchase foodstuffs
and raw materials which cannot be OBJ
tanned elsewhere and are needed in
spite of the disparity in exchanges.
When Great Britain, for example,
begins to export on considerable
scale cotton goods made out Of the raw
cotton she is now purchasing, exchange
rates will move in favor of London,
bankers predict. And they point out
that, just as Britain is at disadvan-
tage now in having to pay premium
of more than 20 per cent on exchange,
when she seeks to sell her manufac-
tured products in foreign markets be-
cause her customers will gain from the
exchange disparity. And, it is said. to
the extent that the pound is depre-
ciated British merchants will be able
to undersell American manufacturers.
In the last week marks show net
loss. Marks are in much worse posi-
ton than the Allied exchanges, bankers
say. because the gold reserve behind
the marks has been depleted by the
turning over of German gold to the
Allies and the United States. The
measure Of the value of the German
mark is the political and economic sit
nation in that country

Stocks Advance
As Pressure of
Liquidation Eases
Buying in Anticipation of a
Favorable Stock Dividend
Tax Decision Helps Prices
Foreign Selling Light

Relieved temporarily Of the three
most depressing influences, the stock
market yesterday gave better account
of itself. Railroad and Industrial stocks
alike showed considerable strength,
and while there were minor reactions
the tone was strong at all times and
prices closed at about the highest points
of the day.
lnasmuch as stocks could be carried
over until Monday without borrowing,
considerable buying for long account
was in evidence, and as was the case
week ago, many commitments were
decision in the stock dividend tax
case would be handed down then. This
was also factor in stimulating short
covering, which was large enough to
assist materially the advance in prices.
The feeling that an acute money
squeeze will be felt Monday was not so
much in evidence yesterday, the pre-
vailing opinion being that the worst
had been seen on Friday.
Equally constructive was the fact
that the volume of selling to establish
losses tor income tax purposes was
much lighter than it had been in other
recent sessions. Brokers expressed the
opinion yesterday that the bulk Of such
selling, which has been large, was fin
lshed. and that hereafter it would not
be so much Of factor in the market
According to reports, very few Of the
securities sold for this purpose have
been repurchased as yet, and this is
regarded in some quarters as meaning
that there is large potential demand
tor stocks which will begin to come
into the market after the first of the
year.
Liquidation for foreign account was
relatively small yesterday. Apparently
the shipment of gold by Canada has
brought some relief in this direction.
