On Curb Market
Police Officials Keep the
Brokers Within the Ropes
as Measure of Protection
Against Accidents

A great deal Of irrogularity prevailed
on the Curb yesterday, where prices
fluctuated without definite trend. Some
stocks displayed pronounced weakness.
One such was American Safety Razor
which got down to 13 on dealings Of
more than 5000 shares. General Mo
tors "when issued" was also weak at
81, while General Asphalt lost points
from the high at III. Submarine Boat
steadied after early weakness.
Not SO much attention was paid to
the oil shares, which, as "A rule, held
their own. Simms Petroleum was
strong around 81 and Gilliland held
close to 80. Island Oil & Transport
did better on the news that an agree
ment has been reached between the
companies operating in Mexico and the
Carranza government which will en-
able them to go ahead with their. de-
velopment work
In the mining group Do Beers was
under pressure, getting down to 4412.
compared with an Offering prico of AZ
for this new issue Rand Mines were
steady around 40.
Police officials yesterday took occa-
sion to keep the Curb market within
bounds, when three sergeants and four
patrolmen put the brokers behind ropes
and told them to confine their opera
tions there in the future. A horse re-
Gently ran away and hurt a number of

MORE WEAK SPOTS
CROP OUT AGAIN
Heaviest Liquidation Developed
in Copper Group, but Spe-
cialties Were Hit Hard

New York. Dec. 21.--It was a repe-
tition of the same disCouraging program
in today's stock market, with continued
irregularity in price movement and
cropping out Of new spots Of weakness.
Declines ran from large fractions to
over 3 points. with the greatest points
Of weakness in the copper Issues. al
though the motor shares and their ac-
Cessories were also distinctly soft. On
the other hand the Liberty bonds re-
covered the greater part Of yesterday 3
loss. Foreign exchange market was
likewise trmrr, with smart rally in
London exchange. Cotton market was
about steady. while the grain markets
were inclined 10 weakness again. The
cali loan renewal rate was again fixed
at per cent, and there seemed to be
an ample supply for all requirements
at that rate.
In explaining the further or con
tinUPd weakness of the market IL would
be only necessary t0 revamp any or all
Of the various causes which have been
held responsible for the marking down
of values ever since election. One of
the more popular explanations was that
the selling was for the purpose of re-
cordng losses in the years income tax
returns. Any sort Of an excuse, how
ever. would have fitted in. There was
no nlistaking tho fact that some of the
selling was quite urgent. On the other
hand, tn" buying power was most pam b
fully limited, although there was re-
ported 70 BE- quit" considerable amount
Of cash buying This evidently was
not Of sufficient volume 10 absorb the
increasing offerings. or offset the further
enforced liQuidation in more speculative
issues.
Active selling was resumed at the
opening. numerous leaders, especially
those comprising the oil, metal, equip =
mcnt and shipping divisions, recording
losses Of 10 almost . points. lndi .
vidual features Of weakness included
Mexinn Petroleum. Anaconda Copper,
Atlantic Gulf, American Car, Crucible
Steel and Chandler Motor. Houston
Oil. which made a precipitate decline
Of II points yesterday, opened at a
slight gain. but this was Immediately
Cancelled. Rails were heavy. Norfolk
