Curb Market

New York, Sept. 25.-The better
feeling over the political situation
abroad, coupled with the accumu-
lation OF large buying orders over
the week end, brought about q gen.
orally strong market on the curb

and seemingly authoritative reports

companies are going to capitalize
their surpluses for the benefit or
shareholders. this group CT stocks
was the center of interest.

of New Jersey and Standard Of
California on the stock exchange.
Standard Oil Of New York. the Ken
lucky shares, Imperial Oil Of Can
ada and Vacuum Oil all went along
in the advance.
Gulf Oil issues were conspicu-
ously weak on the absence of con-
firmation Of the stories Of deal,
which were back Of the rise last
week. A few sales of Gulf Oil old
stock were reported at 760 sheer
drop of 40 points from the last
previous transaction. The new
stock had a proportionately severe
decline. Reports that another large
oil interest was buying into the
company were responsible for the
strength of Mutual Oil. New Eng
land Fuel Oil opened up point and
half and held it's gain. Simms
Petroleum also was in better de-
mand.
There was renewed activity in
the department store issues. Gin

OATS
HEAVY; CORN
TONE EASIER
(By The Consolidated Press

(by Tne COn8OlluateQ fre8S.)
Chicago, Sept. 25.-Wheat was
heavy most Of the session. After
the first selling furry was over,
locals were inclined to feel friend
ly toward teh market and take the
buying side, being encouraged by
the volume of commission house
buying on the break. This caused
rally to above the opening lev
els. Selling pressure increased
and later there was considerable
selling for northwest account, pre-
sumably in the way Of hedging
which forced locals to liquidate.
The news from the Near East was
more peaceable and this was re-
Elected in lover cables.
A decrease Of 100000 bushels
in the wheat supplies on ocean
passage was regarded as bullish.
Cash wheat premiums in the local
market were u Ole lower for win
ter wheat while spring wheat was
demoralized. Primary receipts
were over 100000 bushels and
100000 bushels in excess of last
year. The visible supply increas-
ed 655, 900 bushels last week.
Corn also was easier but the
market exhibited better staying
power than wheat. There was
liquidation in evidence at the start
and locals pounded the market. On
the break commission houses were
good buyers and the market held
well thereafter. Country accept
ances of overnight bids were linn
tied to 10000 bushels. Receipts
are smaller. Visible supply in
creased 444,000 bushels last week
Sales of 10000 bushels of corr
were made to 60 to. store.
Oats showed heavy tone. There
was liquidation in evidence, some
of the leading longs disposing Of
! December and May. There was
buying of September credited tt
cash interests. Sales of 10000
bushels Of oats were made to e
to store. Visible supply decreased
S67 900 bushels last week.
Provisions sold higher with hog!
| and grain. Better cash demand al
7 so inspired buying.

10. which were marked BY less
isvsntful actions than any day dur
In the current month. However,
tbs uncertainty was by NO means
tn whole explanation for the gen.
erol suspension Of investment and
speculative activities.
The over Sunday news was In
fefpreted in the main As hopeful yet
not at all conclusive. Consequent
" while the foreign exchanges
went higher the rise was small and
the same was true Of foreign gov
eminent bonds.
The investment market was
more concerned over Turkish at
fairs than the SPECULATIVE market
but there were other influences al
work inducing caution and a dis
position to delay intended pur.
chase. One Of these was the desire
to get better line upon the vol
ume OF new security isues expect
ed within the next week or so. The
other was the wish to know more
about the project Of the new gov
eminent loan, its size, its terms
and the amount Of competition
which 1t would involve for othel
Investments.
The outstanding feature abou
the stock market was that specu
lative operations had lost the en-
ergy which characterized them al
through August and the first weel
of September. The market afte
all was merely having the SAM
sort of lull and partial let dow
which It had after the elimination
OF the spring campaign and befor
assumption OF the main forwar
movement in the midsummer. Tn
chances are that what has hap
psned in the speculation Of the las
week would have happened any
way regardless Of the news fror

GARRISON SEES
HEARST POWER IN
DEMOCRAT PARTY

Denver, Colo, Sept. 25.-The two
great political parties in the United
States are having difficulty to find
an issue on which they can differ
materially, and the natural out
come of the situation is likely to
result in the scrapping of the Re-
publican and Democratic parties
in favor of new political lineup of
conservatives and radicals, in the
opinion Of Lindley M. Garrison, for
mer secretary of war. Mr.. Garrison
is here to attend a hearing in the
United States district court.
Mr.. Garrison expressed the opin-
ion that the new parties are not
likely to make their appearance be-
fort the next presidential election.
He also declared that the Demo-
cratic party is "woefully weak" in
the matter Of outstanding leaders,
although he thinks that James M.
Cox still has a considerable follow
ing and that William Randolph
Hearst is a formidable figure in
Democratic counsels.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-With the slo.
gan, "non-coercive legislation, urg-
ed by a consolidated public de-

Prohibition today answered the
Anti-Saloon leagues petition to
Secretary of State Emmerson to

A. d. Plamondon, head Of the as
