1t was pointed out at the time that

STANDARD OILS
LEAD ON THE CURB

By Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 29.-An accumu-
iation of buying orders by stock ex-
change houses and purchases by floor
traders caused sharp advances in the
Standard Oil issues on the curb ex-
change today. These stocks were the
leaders and dealings were larger than
they have been at any time recently.
New highs were made in the In
diana, New York and Kentucky
in International Petroleum. Vacuum
Oil was in good demand and advanced
several points and Anglo-American
Oil was also weh taken at higher
figures.
Price movements in the independent
oils were confined within smaller
limits, but these stocks we're for the

including Cleveland and Reo., The
buying Of Cleveland came from a
prominent stock exchange house.
There was also good demand for
Hudson. Moon and Peerless moved
narrowly, while the Durant issues
were somewhat easier.
Phillip Morris started somewhat
lower. but rallied In the later deal

in Tobacco Products Exports and
United Retail Candy. Interest was
shown in Buddy Buds. one of the
newcomers. which was in demand.
Mining stocks were active and firm.
Independence Lead started about un-

BOSTON. May 29.--Industrial condi-

Lynn and Brockton districts have ac-

for the shoe and leather trades is
frightened thereby Strikers at the
New England textile mills are slowly

Rhode Island now is in it's eighteenth

cured an Injunction against picketing

Optimistic Over Outlook

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-While
April sales showed a slight recession
in retail department store trade from
March, this month saw renewed i'm
provement and merchants are very
optimistic over the outlook. The
coming of the vacation season has
slowed trade in general lines, but, on
the other hand, the increasing move
ment of crops Is releasing funds In
the farming districts. Buying in the
interior towns Is showing much inn
provement in consequence. The
freight rate reduction b expected to
beneflt farmers materially.
Rapid erection of apartments has
improved the housing situation tenn
porarily. but realty men say that not
less than 5000 homes must be built
before normal conditions are re-
stored. Building is steadily increas-
ing in volume.
Money for loans -is easily obtained
on good terms, and investment in
both stocks and bonds is active
