Strong Demand Puts Up
List at Opening; Many
Oils Hold Their Advances

Continued optimistic sentiment pre-
vailed on the curb market Yesterday,
and prices were as rule higher. al
though tbs advances were Of the mar
rowest kind. This demand shortly
after the opening caused an upward
swing which was felt virtually through
out the active list, but when these or
ders had been taken care Of trading
subsidized and prices reacted slightly.
The firm tone OF the market indi-
Gated inside support of considerable
strength and prevented pressure being
oxerted on weak issues when prices
were easy Industrials were slightly
higher, but trading in this group was
light. Several of the independent oils
were active, but price changes were not
large.
General Asphalt was in good demand
most Of the day and moved up nearly 3
points. holding a good part Of the gain.
J. l. Case Plaw was up a point and
lEtna Explosives held firm at 10. Her
cues Paper was fractionally stronger
and Indian Packing was steady United
Retail Candy was also steady.
Maracaibo Oil moved up points
and Smms was in strong demand tor a
time, but eased off later, and closed at
the low of i. y, q decline of nearly a
noint. White Oh was also triie
weaker. Invincible Oil again developed
considerable strength and moved UP to

Of nearly 3 points. This. stock was

Answer The Union Oil Company Of
Delaware has not issued any statement
Of earnings It is therefore not possible
TO form an intelligent opinion on the
stock The company is well managed
and unofficial reports have it that the
companys operations are satisfactory
The depression in the price Of the
stock appears TO be due largely to the
condition of the general market High
money and a rather tense credit situa
tion have caused practically all Sc
curitcs to sell at low levels. In pur-
chasing oil shares YOU enter the specu-
lative field with vengeance. When
the public appetite is keen shares OF
this character sell Mt figures beyond
their real value To-day the specula
tive market is such that buying power
is at low obb. Perhaps many Of the
unfavorable conditions are BEING dis
counted However. this is ali matter
Of speculation For Investment pur.
poses we do not regard the stock you
hold as suitable.

It may be that the poet has given
the real cause of the unrest and the
attitude Of labor to capital in the
first line Of the quotation IT'S nat

word cause" perhaps. because the
unrest would better be considered
the result of cause. But we will
all agree that the striking element
claims that IL Is not fair divide
Right there is where the danger
Gus condition of business relations
started. And that spirit has spread
, into varied industries and trades,
till the ordinary workmen. in many

the younger generation coming in tC
/ take the places of those doing the

/ pregnant with dissatisfaction which

best in their line. encourages them t
/ tighten their tasks as much as pos
sible, and destroys the pride in do
| ing a good job which is an incentiv,
/ to good workmanship.
Some of you may say this il
