$3.50 A SHARE SETS
WALL STREET RECORD
Atlantic Refining Sale on Stock
Exchange Takes N. p.
Corner Price.

A sale Of ten shares of Atlantic Rein.
ing Company common stock on the New
York Stock Exchange was made ycster-
day at $3.50, the highest price that has
ever been recorded for the sale Of one
share of stock in the history of the
exchange.
The record heretofore lay with North
ern Pacific, this stock touching $1,000
share in the panic of May ., 1901.
That transaction, however, was for
cash, whereas the Atlantic Refining sale
of yesterday was made in the regular
way, that is, settlement on the day sue
ceeding the sale.
The highest price on a sale of stock,
regular way, up to yesterday was North
ern Pacific at $3.50 share. Atlantic
Refining common shares have been
listed with the Stock Exchange for
about month, but yesterdays was the
first transaction on the big board. The
shares have been traded in over the
counter in the commission houses which
are known "a Standard Oil specialists.
At the close of trading Tuesday Atlantic
Refining was: Bid, $1,000; offered Mt
$3.50. The transaction yesterday was,
therefore, made at what was probably
the offered price today. Last night the
bid WIS 81 $40 and the asked 81 $3.50.

Henry NJ. Robinson, president Of First

is committed TO selling government-owned
ships, which cost approximately 81, 500,-
100000, and in his opinion not more than
$500, 100000 will be realized.
Fifty-eight applications for charters
for new national banks, with a capital of
S3,705, 900, were made during February,
against thirty-seven, with capitalization
of S2,S25, 900, in February, 1918, accord
ing to comptroller of currency.
Oil production in Texas last year totaled
10000, 600 barrels, with an estimated
value of Sl33, 100000, compared with
34,OO0,00O barrels in 1918, valued at
$4,000, 900.
The present market is one that appears
to defy the usual sagacity of even ex-
perienced traders. There is no trend,
prices moving up and down without any
apparent reason. For instance, yesterday
attention was called to the fact that while
certain of the equipment stocks were
advancing others Were declining. 1t is
quite apparent that stocks are not moving
as groups. but are following individual
courses. Professional sentiment is the
ruling factor in market that has develop
ed into trading affair but lacks the pro-
nounced swings that lend zest to even
traders sessions.
1t is getting TO he fad TO reduce the
par value of stock that its price will be
within the reach of all and sundry. Such
action has been ia ken by at least half a
dozen corporations since the first of the
year Most of them split up stock into
smaller units, not only for the convenience
of trading but TO provide greater distribu-
ton. GeneralMOtors was the latest to adopt
this policy, splitting Its shares upon the
basis Of 10for l. Two other corporations
announced that they win follow suit.
Cuban-American Sugar will exchange its
100000 shares Of 500 par value to
100000 of either $40 par value or OF
no par value. American Radiator Com
pany stockholders yesterday reduced the
par value of that compahy's stock from
800 to S25 a share, increasing the out
standing common to 4Ql l36 shares

the leagues program for the season 1919
20. Wilmington is favored by shooting on
