Curb Market

Copyright, 1o2z.

New York, June 15.-Prices turn
ed downward again today on the
curb exchange. Professionals were
active on the short side and en-
countered little resistance. The
principal weakness centered in the
Standard Oils which were sympa-
thZiing with the break in oil stocks
on the stock exchange. Much dis
appointment was felt at the failure
of the Anglo-American directors 10
restore the old dividend, and An
glo-American stocks were hastily
thorwn over by those who had
bought anticipating this piece of
good news.
Standard Oil of Indiana rose two
points at the start, but then-ran
into heavy selling. Standard Oil
of New York and Imperial Oil of
Canada went with the rest. Fens-
land, Mexican Seaboard issues,
Shelley and practically all the 9TH
er independent oils were affected by
the selling movement Cities Serv-
ice, selling ex-dividend, recovered
nearly its reduction but later the
stock followed the general down
ward trend.
Miscellaneous stocks Jared bet
ter than the oils. Durant Motor
was feature and in the early deal
lngs reached a new high. Interna-
donal Carbon was introduced to
trading and moved up bit Dubi-
ier Radio was helped by the Off
cial announcement that orders on
hand for condensers were in excess
of 100000 and that in the past
two weeks orders had been receiv-
ed for more than 100000 of the new
product known as 1.-The Ducon"
which makes radio receiving pos
sible without the use of an aerial.
Phillip Morris acted well at the
start but subsequently slid off.
The feature of the bond market was
the activity in Mexican issues, get
ting ready for the expected an
nouncement of a final satisfactory
settlement of the plans to settle the
Mexican notes.

profits today and there was not
near enough buying to absorb the

there were private forecasts of

New York, June 15-Strong re-
sistence to price advances was no

day, manifesting itself in the small
volume of trading. Prices were
steady and there was little evidence
of shading at second hands. Some
trading was recorded in the mar
rover print cloth constructions and
64x60's and 6Sx72's were held at
an eighth advance for August de-

so high as to indicate no desire to

ENGLISH BANK
DISCOUNT RATE
FEATURES DAY
RY stuart 2. WEST.

Wall Street, New York, June Is.
The decline today on the stock
exchange could not be set down to
any outside cause. 1t was simply
what the street commonly causes
@secondary reaction" namely the
settling back Of prices which ordi-
parily occurs about the first or
primary reaction has eliminated
In a sharp upward recoii. The
technical explanation is that the
short interest covered its commit
ments in the rallies of Tuesday and
Wednesday and that along with the
withdrawal of this element of the
support, neither outside buyers nor
the larger financial and investment
interests were willing to follow
prices up. Consequently there was
nothing TO sustain the advancing
tendencies and professional traders,
working on the short side, were
quick to see their opportunity.
The important incident of the day
vas the reduction of the Bank of
England rate from the 4per cent
rate which was fixed two months
ago at 81. This action was a sur
prise. 1t was apparently designed
as other reductions in the last six
months have been to help along
British trade revival. But at ali
events it bears witness to the most
relaxed condition in London money
market since 1914,-when the bank
rate stood at per cent. Under
normal conditions, such difference
now exists between English and
American discounts would precipi-
tate a transfer of capital from
London TO New York to get the. adj
vantage of the higher return on
lendable funds. In the old times,
this would have meant falling ex-
change rates and importations of
gold. But with the international
exchanges still well away from a
normal basis, so much effort is
probable. Sterling today not only
failed to go down but went higher

showing that in spite of the in

tempt to continue their advance of
