OILS ARE FEATURE
Of CURB MARKET

By Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 26.-Oil stocks
were the leaders on the curb exchange
today.
Commission houses and professional
traders were competing for some of
the high-priced shares, with the re-
suit that a number of new high rec
ords were established.
There was an urgent demand for
Standard Oil of Indiana. This stock
was dealt in in larger blocks than
for months and reached new high
record.
imperial Oil of Canada and Inter-
national Petroleum also made new
tops for the present movement.
Salt Creek Consolidated, which has
been listed here for only about q
week, was in urgent demand and
scored a new high.
There has been increased interest
in the Wyoming oils recently because
of the fact that the output from other
leading fields is dwindling. and it is
the theory that the Wyoming prop
critics will continue to increase their
production.
Gains Scored.
Advances ranging from fractions to
point or more were recorded in

CHICAGO, April 26.-Business is
not as brisk in many lines here as
it has been of late. but merchants re-
gard this only, as the iull following a
season of brisk trading. National
Glngham week opened her rather in
auspiciously SO far as the volume Of
business was concerned. The largest
retail store here is displaying the use
Of ginghams in the home for decora-
tive purposes and most of the stores
feature home furnishings In their ad-
vertising. Jobbers report business
fair IN domestic goods, ginghams and
lercales although less active than
they would like to see 1t. The now
of mail orders is keeping their spirlts
up.
One of the best signs of returning
prosperity is the great activity IN
building in spite of labor disputes,
It is estimated that ,$100.000,0O6
worth of new business structures
either are under way or are soon
to be started. Landlords are not
greatly frightened by threats OF ten
ants to live in tent colonies IN the
suburbs. as six new apartment prof.
ects involving an expenditure~~of
$l1. .000,000 are under way.
The steel industry continues to

Lumber Mills. Are Active
to Meet Building Demands
BY 1. v. SHANNON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS. April 26-There is
great satisfaction in this section over
the revival of the lumber industry.
This Is giving employment to a large
number of men who have been idle
and Is resulting in a new demand for
merchandise OF all descriptions. Fig
ureS compiled by J. f. Rhodes, secre-
tary Of the Southern Pine Association.
show that the pine mills are doing a
larger business than at any time since
the early months of 1918, when they
were working on orders for ship
building. Mr.. Rhodes said today that
the average orders per<mill had in
creased 100000 feet per week since
the LIST of March and are now run
ming 19 per cent above normal pro-
duction. Output. while increasing, is
still Is per cent under normal.
A survey by lumber men indicates
a great increase in building activity
throughout the country. Most of the
gain is in home construction, large
part of which is in the agricultural
districts. Lumber purchases for car
building also have shown large in
creases.
The department stores in this sec
tion report there is no let-up in the
purchasing movement which began
with the advent of warm weather.
The presence of 10000 visitors here
to attend the Knights, Templar con-
vention is helping TO maintain this
record. Business, however. is almost
at standstill in the sections threat
ened. by floods.

Exchanges Easier.
In the further reaction in the for

lower trend of foreign government
bonds. both here and abroad, the
financial communities expressed their
judgment at the latest happenings at
Genoa.
German marks lost all their recent
gain, and SO did French francs.
The representative foreign loans, most
OF them, dropped away slightly
These movements were not impor-
tant enough to indicate serious fear
that the conference would break UP
In row that would leave Germany
and Russia more than ever united and
the entente nations divided. Still they
did reflect some real uncertainty
which had not been present at the

have been a minor one, in the stock
market of the day.

The Oil Situation.
The situation in the oil industry
has undergone a change this week,
which is considered exceedingly ia
vorable to the majority of American
oil producers.
For some time past the large pro-
duction in the Mexia and Haynes
vile fields has been looked upon as a
menace to the prosperity of the oil
industry. but with heavy slump in
daily production in both fields this
menace has been removed. The same
applies to Mexico.
In addition to this slump in produc-
tion. there is an increased demand
for the finer grades of oil. which are
used in factories. The demand for
gasoline also is growing, and will
continue to grow.
