Strong EARLY Tone
On Curb Followed
By Slight Reaction

lar After Petroleum Issues
Lead Upward Swing:
Trading Stagnant at Close

Trading on the curb market yesterday
approached standstill just before the
close, after prices had eascd off from
the highs registered in the buying
movement of the forenoon. Prices held
we'll in the petroleum group, in indus
trials were irregular
Active buying throughout the list
tended to strengthen prices at the out
set of trading, and several active issues

demand. Other petroleum issues gained
momentum on the upturn and Intcrna-
tional Petroleum, Salt Greek Producers.
Merritt Oil and Car;b Syndicate ad-
vanced encouragingly. Simms and White
gained fractionally, but later reacted.
Among the industrials General As
phalt ruled firm and Royal Dutch and
Shell Transport rights were in demand.
United Retail Candy and Tobacco Prod
vets Export became active and sold at

of the recent depression. Strength of

movement of the rights, which sold

Anglo o-American OIL

oucstion-Please advise your views
in regard TO AnsloAmerican OIL. II has
recently dropped from $36 TO s22 SO what
IN the reason for this decline? Has the
recent bond issue put out by this company
anything to do with the decline? Do yoL
not think stock in this company GOOD In
vestnent w. l. A.
Answer-We know of nothing in the
affairs of the Anglo-American Oil Corn
pany to cause such a drop in the stock.
The general market has been de-
pressed for some time past. both in
yestments and speculative issues going
down together. Probably the issue OF
notes may have had an effect upon the
stock, although we do not think this
was factor Of any great importance
The stock is not high-class invest
ment, because it is too speculative.

Westinghouse Manufacturing

Question-Do you consider Westinghouss
manufacturing common a. good business In
vestment? Ia the future outlook for the
company good "A. II.
Answer-For the year ended March
81, 1919, the Westinghouse Manufacture
ing Company showed, after preferred
dividends, the equivalent of POST per
cent earned on the common stock. It
pays per cent, or 81, year, the par
value being $50. The profit and loss
surplus on March 81, 1919, was 1885,
207, 1872, against s7,348.5 .522 on March 81.
1913. Earnings at the present time are
said to be increasing. The business OF
the company is we'll diversified, and, as
electrical appliances are more in de-
mand than ever before its future ap-
pears to be bright. A business man, we
believe, would be justified in buying the
stock as speculative investment.

SILkS-SOn1e See
Further Price Reductions

While many Of the silk trade are
giving expression to more optimistic
feelings liquidations are still continu-
ing and active trading has not been
resumed in either raw or finished silks.
Some of the largest jobbers have re-
duced their prices materially, and
few Of them expect further price cuts.
One jobber announced yesterday that
his fall silks will be priced 20 per
cent below the levels for spring goods.
A jobber, who is also a manufacturer.
expressed the opinion that both raw
and finished silks will go below pres
ent levels and doubted the ability of
the Japanese to securely peg raw silks

your opinion Ia regarding New York AIR

Answer-New York Air Brake stock
is speculative because It is sensitive to

investment purposes. The company has
been successful, particularly during tha
