Curb Issues Show
Small Changes in
Brief, Dull Session
Prices Hold Fairly Steady,
but Demand for Stocks
Continues Light; Aetna
Explosives Is Stronger

Another dull session was expert
enced in the curb market yesterday
with narrow price fluctuations in light
trading. For the most part a fairly
steady tone prevailed, but demand for
stocks showed few signs of improve
ment and the general tendency was
toward lower levels. Lack of pressure
in the brief session, however, had the
effect of preventing recessions.
Aetna Explosives featured the indus
trial group with an advance to 11h,
a new high record for the movement,
on fairly active bidding. This stock
stood out prominently for the reason
that bidding was virtually absent dur
ing the day. Preparations for list
ing the issue on the Stock Exchange
are believed to be progressing, and it
was assumed that buying was for in
side interests in anticipation of higher
levels when the stock is traded in on
the big board.
General Asphalt drifted in narrow
limits around the figures for the clos
:ag sales of Friday and closed at 7Ola.
D. W. Griffith, Inc. held steady, while
Hercules Paper and North American
Pulp and Paper continued to cling to
their recent advances. National City
Bank rights were points higher at
93, but later reacted to 80. Others
held at previous prices or eased off
fractionally.
The decline in Carib Syndicate has
been checked, temporarily at least, and
the stock held firm in yesterdays trad
ing at is, near the low point of the
present movement. Midwest Refining
eased off to 14512, however, and others
OF the oil group were hardly more than
steady. White Oil registered a frac-
tional recovery and Salt Greek sold
rear the high point OF the previous
week. but interest in oils was centered
for the day in low priced shares.

The Dollar i'm Foreign Exchange

Somewhat easier tendencies were
noted in the foreign exchange market
last week. Sterling rates in particular
displayed weakness and the rate on
London dropped below $3.50 for the
first time in several weeks. At this
level sterling was off more than Is
cents in the pound from its high for
the year.
The movement of the Continental ex-
changes was highly irregular, presum-
ably rejecting the tense situation aris-
ing out of the Spa conference. The
market was rather thin, however, and
it required comps paratively light offer
ings TO force substantial recessions.
If you calculated the cost of the dol
lar in terms OF foreign money at cur
rent exchange values-that is, if YOU
were buying a dollar with pounds,
marks or francs-its value at the close
of last week, as compared with a year

Lovett on Esch-Cummins Law

One of the chief weaknesses in the
new transportation act, in the opinion
of Robert S. Lovett, chairman of the
Union Pacific Railroad, is that it leaves
the power of state commissions over
freight and passenger rates practically
unlmpalred. THE railroad rate prob
lem" w.Jte Judge Lovett in the current
issue of The Spur" "can never be
solved as long as the rate making
Commerce Commission and forty-eight
state commissions. The possible solu-
ton is a unified rate making power
IN the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. That being the right solution.
1T is bound to come inevitably, if not
by act of Congress, then by govern
ment ownership, when all state rate
making agencies necessarily will disap-
pear, for it is not possible to prolong
indefinitely policy so fatal to national
transportation as is rate making by
state commissions" Notwithstanding
its defects and omissions, Judge Lovett
Delleves that the new railroad law
marks great progress in railroad legis-
latlon. But 1t is not a cure-all," he
adds, "and there is q tendency to expect
too much of it. The railroads that
were conspicuously successful before
will continue successful, and those that
were unsound before will fail. Those
roads that were unwiseiy located, where
the traffic is and must continue to be
insufficient, or have been otherwise i'm
provldently built and are overcap apital-
lied, Will not be saved by this law.
But that large class of railroads which
were neither very prosperous nor very
poor, and which comprise many of the
largest systems, will be the chief bene-
ticiaries among the carriers To these
the new law gives renewed hope, and
If rates are adjusted to expenses on
the new level as the law contemplates.
they should enjoy reasonable measure
of prosperity, whereas without this re-
lief many were headed straight for
disaster"

Texas Pacific Coal and Oil

The Prairie Oil and Gas Company,
drilling jointly with the Texas Pacific
Coal and Oil Company, has completed
we'll in Stephens County, Tex, flow
ing 200 barrels day, it was reported
yesterday. The we'll was completed at
1910 feet, and considerable impor-
tance was attached to this fact by both
companies, as this depth is regarded
as comparatively shallow.

U. s. Rubber Financing

1t is understood that a public offer

made by Kuhn, Loeb e. Co. next week.
At the Offices of the bankers yesterday
1T was said that they were not yet
ready to make known the offering
price, but it is generally believed in in
vestment circles that it will be at par.
That the company's plan to issue notes
had been pretty well discounted mar
ketwise was indicated yesterday when
the common stock showed little change
from Fridays closing sale Rubber

In Wall Street
CrucibIe Steel Surprise

That it is always dangerous to take
the short side of Crucible Steel was
again brought forcibly before the at
tention Of spectators yesterday by
an overnight jump of points in the
stock as result of the declaration of
another stock dividend, this time Of
l4.2S per cent. Associated Press dis
patches announcing the action of the
board, sent out Friday night, were in
error in stating that the dividend
amounted to only per cent There
was a distinct element of surprise in
the latest stock dividend declaration,
as Friday was not the regular meeting
day Of the directors and it was only a
montk ago that the company declared
a stock dividend of Is 2-3 per cent.
With the 1923 per cent dividend Cruel
ble's common stock Will be brought up
to approximately 50,000,0o0. This will
leave $4,000 900 in the company's
treasury to be distributed later, if the
directors see fit. At the time of the
June stock dividend announcement
Chairman Wilkinson said that the COM
pany would be able to continue the
present per cent cash dividend upon
the entire amount of common capital
stock, both issued and unissued. At its
closing price of 1511a yesterday Cruel
oIe showed net advance of u points.
