L|STLESS SESSION
ON CURB MARKET
Business Largely Transactions
by Professionals-Carib
Issues in Supply

New York, July 0.--Business on the
curb exchange dwindled to n small vol
ume in the two hours of trading with
which the week ended and even the
small amount of dealings consisted al
most wholly Of transactions Of profess
sional traders.
The Carib issues continued In supply
with the market value Of those stocks
steadily decreasing. Colombia Emerald
sold at " and Carib Syndicate at 3s.
Sweets Co., which had been strong
during the preceding part Of the week,
was neglected, sagging to 2b.

in its trading position.
independent oil stocks failed to re,
spond to the possible result Of proposed
tariff changes in their favor. Arkan-
sas Natural Gas ranged from 9B to 9S

small scale at S1a to 8. Simms Petrol

STACNATION IN
THE LOCAL MARKET
Expect Early Agreement by
Council on Relief Meas
ues for U. G.. I.

Trading was exceedingly light IN the
local stocks. In brief. the market was
typical midsummer listless affair
Most Of the dealings were In small odd
lots and altogether meaningless. The
prominent shares maintained a steady
tone with no change in prices. The
only exception was Lehigh Navigation,
which yielded II point and Lehigh VAL
ley a point, the latter bringing price in
closer parity with the New York quo
tation.
Tnere were encouraging signs during
the week of the local market breaking
away from the influences Of the con :
fuHng variations on the big board
ruled steadier than for some weeks and
the better grade appeared at last to
have found a firm bottom.
Interest in the ncxt few days is
likely TO center in the utility group.
The affairs Of both the Rapid Transit
Company and the United Gas I'M
provement Company will unquestionably
be given a great deal Of prominence by
reason of the action to be taken by
the City Council. Before the week Is
out there is every probability some
agreement will be reached to give the
u. G. I. it's needed -elief in the opera
ton of the city gas plant. OF the plans
offered which will be adopted Gun only

less, the present untenable conditions
viii be remedied, permitting the com
pany to rehabilitate it's financial posi-
ton, There are number Of bumps
stjll to be ironed out IN the transit
situation, but the controversy is nearer
an amicnb!e adjustment than ever be-

COTTON MARKET

New York, July 9.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, considering the bear
ish nature Of crop and weather news,
first prices showing net gains of 8 to Is
points Japanese interests and Wall
streets bought considerable cotton on
the rise, while the South was leading
seller. After the start prices eased a
little under selling, based on expecta-
tions of bearish mid month condition
report by a Southern authority.
Alternate furries of buying and sell =
ing were promoted by the conflicting
character Of crop and spot news from
the South, and the net change by the
end of the first hour was comparatively
slight. Numerous complaints came from
Texas regarding crop conditions, rains
having apparently again set in in that
State, whereas other districts reported
favorable crop progress and In some
instances freer offer ings of spots.
The heaviness Of tho stock market
and continued weakness of exchange re-
stricted Wall street buying. The South
both bought and sold, and locals were
inclined to accumulate cotton.

New York, July 8.-Exchange on
London today fell to $3.87% for demand
bills in this market, an overnight loss
of more than two cents in the pound
sterling. This weakness, which affected
virtually all continental rates, Is
ascribed to Great Britain's adverse
trade balance, in which imports far
exceed exports.
Gables received by international
bankers also indicate further selling Of

with heavier purchases Of dollar, or
