This plan of project work originated

New York, Jan. 1.-THE upward
movement continued on the curb
exchange today Profit taking was
encountered on the advance but
these offerings were readily alb
sorbed and did not interpose any
important change. Among the oils
Kirby Petroleum was the leader at
the start but later felt the effect of
realizing sales by traders. Carrib-
bean Syndicate and Maracaibo went
higher while Standard Oil of Indi-
ana and Imperial Oil of Delaware
held steady. Southern Petroleum
and Marine Oil were firm.
The Radio issues were active fea-
lures of the miscellaneous list, both
the common and preferred moving
up sharply. There was better de-
mand for the coal shares, Glen AL
den advancing a fraction and South
ern Coal being firm. Acme Pack
ing was unusually active and err
ratio, moving over wide range.
Todd Ship Building and Lincoln
Motors started higher but eased lat
er on profit taking. The tobacco
shares continued in good demand.
British-American Tobacco and r.
J. Reynolds moved into higher
ground North American Pulp was
in better demand and advanced.
Libby, Mcneil and Libby held well.
Boston and Montana advanced on
new buying and short covering fol-
lowing a statement by President
Allen that steady improvement is
being shown in the grade of ore
and concentrates and the recovery
is 90 per cent. Eureka Croesus was
unusually active and higher.

tul business in 1920 it is expected 10

Chicago, Jan. 17.-All grades of

Gamers sold around $3.50 to S9.75.
Calves were mostly Csc higher,

MOTORS STRONG AGAIN.

The only trouble with Studebak-
er as it stood this morning was
that there were too many bulls on
it. The big buying had come into
the stock on other days and its
friends were not pleased when the
floor traders began 10 circulate the
tip that Studebaker was on its way
to par. Yet despite the rather too
numerous outside figure that was
collecting, the stock was consist
entity strong. II did not look like
something chat was being artificial
ly put but like a stock in which
there was real desire to buy.
Studebaker's production for the
current quarter caisl for 23,f00
cars. This compares with an out
put of IL, 400 cars during the same
three months last year, when earn
ings amounted to 1925 a share.
Last week it was Chandler that led
the motor group but today Chand-
Ter was the follower and Stude-

signs of reviving interest in Hupp

announcement that, subject to the
