Preferred Stock Offering

Although the principals in the
negotiations of the Standard Oil Com
pany of New Jersey for new funds ag-
gregating s1Oo,000,OO were, reticent
yesterday, it became known that the
company has been discussing such an

Inc new money, it was said will be
used to get more production-possibl
some new land also. Since the recent
boom in the industry the Standard
Oil Company has been prospecting for
new wells more than heretofore. In
the past the company often preferred
to permit outsiders to do the wild
eating and then to arrange to pur-
chase the oil from them. All the oil
companies are said to be hungry for
new capital. not only to carry on de-
velopment work but also to carry the
higher inventories resulting from high
prices.

In Wall Street
Stromberg and Vanadium

The theory advanced yesterday by
some observers of the market was that
this weeks rise in Stromberg and
Vanadium was engineered for the pur
pose of unloading stock by the in
siders. 1t was argued that with all the
publicity given TO the corner in Stutz
the public would rush in to buy other
of the socalled Ryan issues in the
made to trap large short interest.
The action of both Stromberg and
Vanadium in the early days Of the
week gave the impression that the
floating supply of the stocks was ex-
tremely limited. but the rapidity with
which they declined on subsequent
selling left the impression with some
that long holdings were being liqui-
dated at or near the top prices.

Heightened Business

To Avoid More En-.

PARIS, April systematically i'm
creased activity in industrial and com
mcrcial fields and very heavy demands
on the Bank of France were. responsible
for yesterdays increase in the rate of
discount in banks here. it is said to-day
in official circles. Rather than increase
the amount of paper money in circula-
ton, the bank raised the discount rate.
This is In accord with the policy of
the government and the bank, to CON
tract rather than expand the circula-
ton Of paper money. Another reason
given is tho advisability of attracting
for investment in France foreign CAPT
tai which is more or less "vagabond."
