TRADING ON CURB
WAS MORE ACTIVE
Notable Absence Of Erratic
Movements in Selected Is
sues-OiIs Stead

New York. July 1S.--A fair degree Of
activity developed in the curb market.
At times there was some irrcgularity.
but on the whole the market was firm
and in some departments decidedly
strong. The tone was much more even
than in recent days, there being n not
able absence of erratic movements In
certain groups or in individual issues.
Price fluctuations were not as wide as
might have been expected in view Of tho
degree of activity.
Trading was very we'll distributed
throughout the ordinarily active depart
ments of the whole list. Considerable
buying of the ow-priced mining shares
developed at times. Traders were less
active and commission house business
was in larger volume.
Standard Oil subsidiaries were less
prominent than since recent develop
ments in the industry of more or less
disturbing character. \ greater degree
of confidence relative to the immcdi-
ate market future of these issues pre-
vailed. Standard Oil of Indiana. which
has been the subject of attack by trad
Crs. made substantial upturn. Steadi-
ness characterized the dealings in Ken
lucky and International Petroleum.
Marland of Mexico was under pressure
in the early trading and yielded sharply
hut later recovered the greater part of
the lass. The movements in Skel,y Oil.
Simms Petroleum and Mutual OIL were
narrow.
Cities Service was more actively
bought and moved up about a point.
Daniels Motors was the most prominent
feature among the motor issues. but
was only moderately higher. Durant
of Indiana and Lincoln made slight i'm
prOvementS also. Lima IocOmotiCe
stocks ruled steady. but Gillette Safety
Razor was off slightly on profit taking.

Authority With a String to 1t

Action Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in approving the lease of
the Pittsburgh. Cincinnati, Chicago and
st. Louis Railroad by tn" Pennsylvania
Railroad. on condition that the Penn
sylvania Company and Pennsylvania
Railroad shall not sell or pledge capital
stock of the Panhandle. is novel in that
it goes beyond the Pennsylvania Rail-
road and attempts to place restrictive
conditions on the Pennsylvania Com
pany. which iS not party to the lease
1t has not Yet been determined by
the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad whether the
lease will be accepted under the condi-
tionS named. but it will be acted upon
later. That the commission should at
tempt to regulate II company which is
not common carrier and consequently
is not subject to the jurisdiction of
that body is novel. and might raise the
question of whether it has not exceeded
its authority in the matter.

Manufacturing Material Imports

The National City Banks makes the
interesting comment that official re-
ports of the value of manufacturing
material imported in May this year
show an increase Of 33 per cent in the
value of the raw material. compared
with May Il year ago. and an increase
of over so per cent in the value of the
manufactures for further use in manu-
featuring. The report infers: This
startling increase in the value of manu-
featuring material drawn from abroad
IS the more interesting when we con-
slider that the prices of many of the
articles so imported are now materially
lower than year ago, and that the ad-
vance in the total value Of these mate
rials imported really means 4 larger in
crease in quantities that the mere
figures of value would Indicate

GASOLINE Consumption

T.. J. Bullock. vice president Of
Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Is
quoted in Western dispatches as say
ing: Our figures on consumption OF
gasoline show that at the rate we are
going there will be no gasoline left in
mid continent by August 10. Mid
continent rcfners will not be able in
side of six weeks to fill orders for their
own share of the country's consump-
ton.
Regardless of the situation in crude
oil, conditions in gasoline are favorable.
Consumption in May reached the high
record Of 556 424 800 gallons. Of which
800. 900. 900 were used in domestic
consumption and the rest exported.
Compared with May. 1921. domestic
production Of gasoline shows gain OF
l4.5 per cent and domestic consumption
an increase Of 400 per cent. Net de-
cline in stored gasoline in May was
80 .661 900 gallons.

Now Government Financing

Government certificates of indebted =
ness amounting to $3.50, All 800 will
mature on August 1. These certificates
bear 512 per cent and were sold by the
Government August 1, 1922. This Is
the only issue of Treasury bills out
standing bearing rate as high as 5h
per cent. Secretary Mellon has an
nounccd that the Federal Reserve banks
are authorized to redeem these cprtit-
Gates in cash before August 1, 1922.
The next maturity following that OF
August will be on September Is, when
two issues of certificates. amounting to
approximately $500. .OO0.O 900. will fall
due. One issue. dated September Is.
1921. bears 54 per cent interest, and
the amount sold was S1S2, ST. 200. The
other issue. dated November I, 1921
bears Az per cent, and the amount sold
was $40, ,G91 800. Both of the latter
issues are acceptable at par in payment
of United States taxes.
1t is quite likely that the Government
will do some new financing between now
and September 10. In fact. Secretary
Mellon may announce the terms of q
new loan in August. Washington ad

STRANGE LETTER LEFT BY
SUICIDE
Iowa Man Takes Own Life and Saws
If He Wants to Go That's His
Business.

Centerville, Iowa-Strange views

Charles Connei, formerly of Utica,
Ill, but who recently moved to this
city, who was found dead lying across
the foot of his bed at the Rosetta no
tel shortly after six o'clock last night.
In a letter left to the public in gen.
eral Comet calmly states that he has
taken poison, that he hoped he would
not wake up; that "if | want to go,
that's my business" and calls atten-
ton to a life insurance policy for
$500 which will be enough "to put me
in a hole" Following is the letter
left by the dead man:
81 have taken one and one-half
ounces of poison and one-half pint of
graphite, and hope | don't wake up
as / want to end my career. 1AsFd !
wish no quack doctor or any sucker
to try to bring me back again or I'll
lay for him. If | want to go that's

Is bad health. "YSu can notify Mr..
Weeks Prudential Insurance Agent
at LaSalle, ILL.,, as | have insurance
for $500 to put me in a hole. And
above all don't say I'm a coward
or fool, for it is brave man who
can face death. If you don't believe
1T, try ft yourself.
what is the use of living to end
life in old age? You've got to die
anyway. What's beyond, we don't
known. Nobody returns to tell it.
"Oh, what's the use. Go and live
to be $50 and become a nuisance to
the country if you want to be.
Yours sincerely,
