OIL SHARES WEAK.
By sTUART r. WEST
tcopyright. 1927

/ There were two well defined rea-
sons. for the special weakness in
the oil stocks. One was that dur
ing the first decline in the market,
which began sc-tntgh: ago and
eliminated temporarily ON Monday,
the oil shares- had come down less
than any other group taking the
difference between their prices in
March and their high Of May as the
standard of comparison. The other
was that the latest figures of the
bureau of mines showed that May
had been another month OF unsur-
passed gasoline production and that
despite increase in consumption,
the reserves on hand had kept on
mounting. so that they reached an
other new high record at the close
OF the period.
MOTOR STOCKS.
Studebaker got across 1875 soon
after the opening but lacked the
remaining strength to equal its for
mer high Of 1858. When Stude-
baker stopped going up it was a
signal for renewal of selling all
through the market In the course
OF the ensuing decline the motor
stocks went down with the others.
Maxwell Motors issues had been
sympathetic, although strong with
Studebaker and so had General
Motors, but when the reaction came,
these stocks followed the rest The
newly listed Hudson Motors opened
at "A as against % at the close of
the curb exchange Wednesday and
at new high record. Despite the
estimates that current earnings of
the company are running at the
rate of So a share, Hudson yielded
with the other members of the
group in the subsequent trading.
MERCANTILE MARINE.
Mercantile marine stocks were
the particular weak spots. They
started to break even while the
rest of the list were holding strong.
The discouraging statement by the
president of the company at the
annual meeting Wednesday was the
sole reason alleged for the selling.
This statement had been in Wall
street for nearly two hours before
the Wednesday close but there had
not been time to get the response
from the country outside. This
came in the market today.
