 New York. July 17.-while there was a steady trade in curb securi- ties today. the most interesting price fluctuations were furnished by a limited number of issues.
 In point of activity, oil shares. as usual, came out on top. The Stand ard oil issues furnished further fluctuations, however, as domestic issues moved over a nervous trend. Price reductions had an adverse in- fluence. but some stocks overcame It, notably Standard Oils.
 The New York shares ran up sew eral points as did South Penn Oil but the Indiana stock ruled most active, and gained more than point. .Anglo-American oil also improved. as did Standard of Kentucky. Prices for industrials changed but little.

POPE TO BLESS STATUE.
Carved to Replace Image of Virgin
Mary Burned at Loretto.
Rv tho Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, April S.-The new statue of
the Virgin Mary, made to replace that
destroyed by fire about a year ago in
the celebrated Holy House at Loretto,
is to be conveyed to. st. Peters shortly,
to be blessed and crowned by the
Pope. 1t will then be carried to
Loretto by Italian aviators, whose
patron is the Madonna of Loretto
The statue is of cedarwood, as was
the original, and is of similar pro-
portions.
The original Virgin Of Loretto was
small black image. of Lebanon
cedar and richly adorned with jewels,
said to have been carved by ST. Luke.
According to legend, the Holy House
in which it was enshrined was the
home of the Virgin Mary, miraculously
transported from Nazareth when
threatened with destruction by the
Turks in 1921.
