Prices Irregular
On Curb Market;
Trading Is Active
Pressure Exerted by Pro-
fessional Element Re-
sponsible for Declines;
Pools Strengthen Buying

Although pressure by professionals
in several spots caused reactions on the
curb market, firm undertone was felt,
and prices Of most of the recently ac-
tive issues held we'll. Advances were
recorded in several of the specialties.
Activity in the industrial group was
divided among Aetna Explosives, Gard
ner Motors, North American Pulp and
Paper, General Asphalt, Hercules
Paper and United States Steamship
for the most part. Of these Explosives
was the only one which showed un-
usual strength, advancing to 10k, the
high mark for some time. Gardner
Motors was under pressure for a time,
Hut as the price declined to near the
offering point good demand was en-
countered. North American Pulp and
Paper was fractionally easier and Her
cules Paper slumped more than point.
United States Steamship was also
lower
D. W. Griffith, Inc, stock was traded
in for the first time, opening at Is and
moving up a before the closing sale
Fensland Oil attracted attention in

was evidently based on a report of
we'll brought in flowing 400 barrels
natural. Other petroleum issues were
weaker, among them being Carib Syn
dicatc, international Petroleum and
Maracaibo Oil. Several others were
firm, Merritt Oil, Mexican Panuco,
Midwest Refining, Salt Greek, Tropical
Oil and White Oil selling at prices
near those of the previous days close
Mining shares were fairly active, but
price changes were narrow.
The bond market was quieter, with
small fluctuations.
