Little Change
I'm Prices i'm
Dull Session
Atlantic Gulf Feature of
Listless Trading; Less
Activity in Bonds; For
eign Exc hange Lower

In five hours of give and take at tn,
Stock Exchange yesterday little wa
accomplished, Aside from the ex
changes of floor traders, few transac
tions took place, and the days session
was the least active since the inordi
nately dull trading Of July 8. Only
32S,900 shares changed owners.
Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies wa.
conspicuously active against a back
| ground of listlessness. The common
stock closed at 1875, 27s points net
lower. While the stock was being hare
pressed, spectators spoke of culmi
nation of the difficulties of the company
but officials denied any change in the
situation. General Electric was AGAR
target Of selling. After rally. Mex.
lean Petroleum, one Of the few stocks
in which any interest was shown
turned lower, and declined 81 points
net.
Despite the irregular character given
the market by outstanding instances
of weakness, security prices generally
were firm. The averages of both rail
road and industrial stocks closed
higher.
In the bond market quotations re-
mained steady, but the volume of
activity was much smaller in the early
days of the month, when the reinvest-
ment demand stirred the marketplace
for fixed maturity obligations. Govern
ment issues constituted at least half of
the days business.
In the commodity markets the
strength of last week was followed by
day of falling quotations. Wheat
prices at the end of the days trading
were 3A to 3M cents bushel lower,
and the decline was ascribed to an in
crease in the visible supply and to
heavy receipts at primary points. More
over, internally the market was primed
for reaction.
Cotton prices slumped 43 to Al
points, but partial recovery toward
The close effaced 10 points of the loss.
Spectators guided their operations in
accordance with the favorable weather
over the weekend and the outlook for
this week.
Following the initiative of the London
market bankers bid lower for sterling
in quiet market, and the dollar value
of the currency dropped 31s cents, to
$358A, the lowest rate quoted since
January. Continental currencies fol-
lowed the leadership of the pound" The
action of the market represented ap-
parently both the effects of the de-
mand for dollars to pay for American
exports and for the next German
reparations payment.

Break in Exchange Rates

Yesterdays break in foreign exchange
rates, carrying cable rates on London fo
S3.5SA, net loss from Saturday Of u
cents, was not altogether unexpectee.
as it was believed Germany would soon
begin preparations for meeting the next
reparations payment, and it was gener-
ally understood that the transaction
would be made through the purchase of
collars, in spite of the protests in Lon
don and Paris against this procedure
because. Of the exchange unsettlement
1T entailed on previous occasions. The
decline IN rates yesterday was directly
attributable to purchase of dollars for
German account and buying of bills
Tor Allied account which were too
large for the market to absorb.
New-York tribune., 1921-07-19
The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Foreign exchange rates on Europe
slumped sharply yesterday, the weak
ness being attributed to demand for
dollars abroad. both for German and
for Allied accounts. Preliminary prep
arations for the next reparations pay
mont are believed to be under way. and
it. is probable that the installment will
be met with American dollars.
Gable rates on London dropped 3h
cents from Saturdays final figures,
closing at s3.5SA, the lowest point
reached since January and less than s
cents above the record low of the wear.
Continental rates acted in sympathy
with sterling, and it was said there
was strong demand for dollars for
Allied account. Trading in the local
market was sluggish German marks
sagged and Polish marks continued to
sink into new low ground.
South American rates continued
easier, and quotations in many in
stances were nominal.

Deny "AGwT' ReceivershIp

When Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies
broke to ga yesterday, new low since
1915, the Street was filed with adverse
rumors, bur directors declared there
WAS not the slightest foundation for the
reports. They asserted that the com
pany Is now in better shape than it was
three months ago. having arranged for
all pressing maturities until fall. n@e
explanation for the days selling was
the announcement that Judge Manton,
in the United States District Court, had
denied the motion made by the Atlantic
Gulf Oil Corporation to amend tho orig
inal decree Of the court so as to do
away with the services Of special mas-
ter appointed in connection with the 1T
igation instituted by Henry c. Mount
and others. The money inpoanded by
prior order in the same litigation still
remains in bank. The legal controversy
grew out of the contract for oil wells
in Tuxpam, Vera Cruz, Mexico, in 1913,
and under it the complainAnts claimed
they were entitled to S350,000 month.
Pending the outcome Of the litigation
100000 was deposited with the court.
