Selling Wave, Goes Down
Three Points.
WYOMING OILS IN DEMAND
Perfection Tire Reacts Despite
New Contract With Ne
mours Company.
WYOMING OILS IN DEMAND

Although prices continued to move
over an irregular course, a frmer under
tone was displayed in some of the more
prominent curb stocks yesterday. Heavy
selling pressure In others resulted in new
low records being established. This was
the case in American Shipping and Com
merce, which declined more than three
points to a new bottom price. II rallied
before the close. Colonial Tire also was
sold heavily and scored a similar de-
cline.
Wyoming oil stocks were In better de-
mand as a result OF the favorable re-
porting OF the leasing bill in Washing
ton. Salt Creek led the group with an
advance of more than a point Shell
Trhding was bought in the greater part
OF the session. but reacted toward the
close. Middle States was in active de-
mand and sold to a new high for the
movement Standard OIL shares were
dull and heavy.
Perfection Tire reacted fraction

ment was made that CONTRACT has been
made between the company ana the Ne
mours Trading Corporation VIII reby the
latter acquires. the entire output OF Per-
lection tubes and tires through the es-

Indian Packing and the other food
stocks were weak. Savold Tire and Ohio
was In good demand due to the state

CROPS HOPPING IN FIELDS.
New Jersey Farmers Face Heavy Loss
 Because of Rains.

Trenton, N. J., Aug. 23.-Due to recent heavy rains, the outlook for crops and garden produce in New Jersey is not promising. Crops arc rotting in the fields, and only the in terVention of fair weather can pre- vent a great loss to farmers, with a resultant standard of high prices. The above statements are contained in the weekly crop and weather re- port issued by the Department of Agriculture.
 "A severe storm swept over the state recently, causing great havoc in southern and central districts among the crops, but the damage was less severe in northern counties,' states the report. Farming operations uCh as potato digging and blowing for fall grains have been greatly hindered, while potatoes, peaches, and toma- toes show considerable rot, due to the wet weather. Truck is poor to fair, and the crop of lima beans and peppers is very discouraging. Corn is mostly good to excellent, but some what late, and may be caught by early frost in northern counties. Oats not yet under cover have undergone some damage"
