AS this stock Is carried in the balance
sheet at $25 a share, and was sold at
from 81 to 81 share, a deficit Of
about $3S0,0O0 is shown for the year.
Business of the Clothel Company,
it's one subsidiary, officers state. is
very poor at present. Assets of the
company total $S,11O,453. However,
as they are largely made up of $5,-
eS0,O00 stocks of the Clothel Company
and $1,261 $3.50 stock in the treasury,
1t can be seen that the company is
chiefly in the prospect" stage.

CRUCIBLE STEEL SELLING. .
The pool which conducted the sue

In view of dividend doubts, il is

operations are being circuhted, but

DON'T GAMBLE NEAR THE CURB!
Gambling on or near the New

Looking for excitement after many
weeks of dull trading, several curb
clerks began throwing dice in a
basement near the outside market.
As the stakes became larger the
excitement grew, and SO much noise
was made that ,policemens at
tontion was attracted. In about five
minutes the patrol wagon drew up
and half score of the gamblers
were collared.
BUYING UP. CRUDE.
The steadiness with which the
large and important oil companies
have been purchasing crude oil from
the small producers and storing it
leads to the expectation that other
big oil companies will shortly be in
the market with new financing to
furnish funds to buy oil for storage.
The Standard OF companies have
always been heavy buyers Of oil when
prices have declined sharply, and, Ii
would not be surprising IL other
Standard Oil companies shortly an
nounced the new offerings.
The Humble Oil Offering was the
last of the Standard companies to
offer new securities. The issue did
not go like "hot cakes" but that
fact was attributed to mistake
made by the syndicate managers In
Setting up" the issue.
The continued buying of crude oil
also leads financial interests to be-
lieve that the big refiners consider
that the end of the downward move
ment in oil has been reached and
that the price is now on the up
grade.

The company received more orders
