Curb Market
BY WILLIAM G. HEFFERNAE.
Copyright, 1927

New York, Oct. 30.-The pro-
nounced strength in Gulf Oil of
Pennsylvania stock was the one
outstanding feature today in the
trading on the curb exchange. The
shares were actively in demand
while the rest of the list went
lower in sympathy with the move
ment of prices on the stock ex-
change.
The strength in Gulf Oil stock
was attributed to the successful
flotation of a new $35,000,0O0 is
sue of five percent debenture gold
bonds. The proceeds will be used
for the retirement of the company's
five percent sinking fund bonds
which will be called for redemp-
ton on February 1, 1923. The new
bonds were quoted on the curb ex-
change around their subscription
price of 81. The selling which
was temporarily suspended toward
the end of last week. broke out
again today in the oil shares, re-
sulting in lower prices in many of
the Standard Oils, and not a few
of the independents as we'll.
Vacuum Oil, old, Standard Oil of
New York, old, and Ohio Oil show
ed losses of from five to 10 points,
while STANDARD of Indiana, I'm
perial Oil of Canada and Interna-
tional Petroleum we're heavily sold.
The new SIS par value shares of
recently recapitalized Standard
companies moves alphabetically
with the old shares.
Efforts to bring about lower
prices in Southern States oil were
only partly successful. The stock
held slightly below its close of
last week while the rest of the list
continued lower. Other oil shares
moved with the Standard Oil
stocks and lower prices were made
in Simms Petroleum, Fensland and
New England fuel.
Possibly the heavy selling today
in Phillip Morris was due to the
announcements by several leading
cigaret manufacturers of reduc-
tions in cigaret prices from IS to
SO cents per thousand. A few
sales occurred in Schultz Stores
around its closing level of last
week.

Leonard Jacob Christler, at Havre,
and then committed suicide, C. E.
Booth, one of the officials of the
Mutual-Elwell Chautauqua bureau.
by whom Mrs. Carleton was en-
ployed, today made public a letter
written by Mrs. Carleton last
Thursday, the day before the trag-
edy, and received in Chicago on
Saturday.
The letter speaks of her lyceum
work, and her plans for her little
daughter, and contained a promise
to call on MIR. Booth when she re-
turned to Chicago.
In expressing the opinion that
Mrs. Carleton did not murder
Christler nor kill herself, Mr.. Booth
said the letter gave no evidence of
mental arrangement which the
coroner's jury in secret session de-
cided caused Mrs. Carleton to shoot
the pastor and take her own life.
He expressed amazement at the
verdict.

public in the hope of clearing up

Chicago. Oct. 30.-Trade in wheat
was quiet and sales were decidedly
uninteresting. Trade was almost
entirely local in character. The
start was higher because Of the
higher Liverpool cables. The
strength was unexpected and this
made locals bullish. Outside as
sistance was not forthcoming, and
this caused early buyers to unload
and many Of the locals switched to
the bear side because OF the alb
sence of outside trade. The mar
ket reacted, but support was good
on the dips. About middoy the Wis
ible supply was posted and this
showed q decrease OF 1886 900
bushels, soaring some Of the early
sellers into covering. Cash wheat
premiums were unchanged but firm,
offerings being small and just
about enough for local require
ments.
Minneapolis reported -four de-
mand dropping OF; cash wheat pre-
miums there were unchanged.
There were good rains in many
parts of the dry area Of the winter
wheat belt, but in some sections
precipitation amounted to only a
light shower. Canadian visible
supply increased 1854 900 bushels.
Trade in corn was just as dull
as that in wheat. There was a lit
tie pressure from overnight longs.
while bears pressed the selling
side, covering when ever wheat
rallied. The undertone was easy
most of the session. Cash corn pre-
miums we're unchanged at yester-
days inside figure. Industries were
the only buyers, shippers limiting
their purchases to cars that were
able to 60 east. Shipping demand
for corn was not so good. Visivle
supply decreased $1,000 bushels
last week.
Oats were-afected by the action
of other grains, trade being Of small
volume and entirely local in char
acter. Cash oats premiums were

U. s. Yards. Chicago, Oct. 3d.
Heavy runs Of livestock were re-

weak. After decline in the mar

In many places quoted at 75c. there
was no chance to bring In a strong
er tone today. Less than 5000 hogs
were held over from last week,
but sellers had many stale cattle
ON hand. More than 1000 cars of
livestock arrived at the local yards
today.
Receipts were $4,000 cattle, 3d.
900 hogs, $4,000 sheep and 5000
calves.
CATTLE.
Lack OF choice cattle helped this
end OF the trade and values were
generally steady. A small lot Of
heavy steers sold at $3.50, while
some 1850 pound yearlings went at
$12.75. Quality was one Of the
poorest in a long time. More than
10000 westerns arrived during the
day. Medium and palmer steers
were weak to Csc lower. Best cows
sold steady, but here also medium
grades were down. Gamers and
bulls held, but calves were down
more than Csc, choice vealers going
at $3.50 to $1,000.
HOGS.
Trading was slow from the start,
and while some light butchers sold
at $9.05 this was considered far out
of line, as many sales were made
at a decline of dime from the lev
els noted at close of trade Satur-
day. Rough packing hogs sold
down to 81 with choice lots at S.
to $3.50.

Lambs sold mostly Csc lower.
Several loads of natives went at
$14, but bulk sold at $3.50 to

A lot of Consolidated Textile has
been bought around II ON orders
said to have emanated from a sin
gle banking source. The COM
pany's affairs have turned the cor
ner and the uncertainty as to the
effect Of the rise in cotton on the
demand for finished goods has been
removed. This is one of the mo-
tives back of the buying but the
other is that the syndicate which
took over the last block of treasury
stock, put out to pay for mill prop
critics, has been Juggling it at a fig
ure still above the present market
price. Possibly the time is regard
ed as suspicious for attempting to
get rid of this stock without q
loss.
THE WEAKNESS IN COPPERS.
Despite the fact that they have
had less rise than almost any 9TH
er group of stocks the coppers
went down today quite as sharply
as the rest of the industrials. Evil
IDENTIFY speculative holders OF Ana
conda had reckoned upon the stock
being pegged at fifty which was
the price at which the new issue
was brought out some time ago. A
great many stop orders had been
placed just under that figure, and,
as the fifty level was broken, these
orders were set off in one bunch of

coppers were similarly weak in
one degree or another. Disappoint-
ment that the expected rise in the
metal has not occurred. but that
on the contrary dealers have been
shading quotations from the Il
cent official schedule Is one reason
for the selling. The other is that
on account of the large outside
speculative following the copper
shares are always vulnerable to
