NEW YORK, November 25.-The
curb exchange was subjected to the
same heavy selling pressure today
that was in evidence on the stock
exchange and for the same general
reason-namely, that speculative ac-
counts. overloaded during the cam
paign of last spring and. summer, had
to be cut down, regardless of the
sacrifice involved.
This forced selling bore most
severely against the Standard Oils
because this was the group which
had had the greatest rise in the
market of month or two ago.
Standard of Indiana was the leader
with quite a violent break. II left

NEW YORK, November 25.-Three
committees Of the New York Stock
Exchange today began an investiga-
tion Of the circumstances surround
ing the listing of shares Of the North
American Oil Company on the ex-
change. Tho stocks. listed Wednes-
day, were withdrawn suddenly yes
terday when the best bid was $40
per share. The stock had closed at
$50 Thursday. when about 1900 shares
changed hands.
This was said to be the first time
in the history Of the exchange that
a stock listed on one day was strick-
en- from the list after one days trad
ing. Striking from the list is unusual
and happens only when one corpora
tion has been merged with another
when its transfer office is closed here
or when for some reason or another
the governors Of the exchange believe
that corner has developed in the

Separate inquiries were under way
by the governing committee, the list

NEW YORK, November 25.-The
course of stock exchange prices has

Statements of the porphyry copper
companies have shown that in the

a decided improvement in the earn

reduction of costs. and it Is quite
certain that this improvement will
not only be maintained, but increased,
in the fourth quarter.
touched the high of the year and the
raw sugar producers. who twelve
months ago had marked down their
product below cents a pound, are
not willing to sell for less than
cents. These are proofs in three of
the most representative lines of in
dustry that the trend is distinctly
upward. u
Market Ignores Outside Factors.
The stock market, and to some ex
tent the bond market also. continued
to ignore these facts. There is no
good reason why this should be so.
1t simply has to be remembered that
when Wall street situation is called
upon to undo past excesses, when the
authorities are forcing houses and
individuals carrying too many stocks
to unload, outside conditions are
temporarily lost sight of and values
count for little.
A readjustment within the marke t
itself is still the main thing there is
to be seen in the recent decline on
the stock exchange. Now and then
predictions are heard that 1928. after
all, will not be a good year for busi-
ness and that the Wall street mar
kets have been preparing themselves
accordingly. These, however, are
the statements Of individual opinions
unsupported by any convincing rea-
son and entirely opposed to the feel
ing of the great majority among the
leaders of the business world.
European Conditions Better.
In the same way, despite the many
proofs to the contrary, the old fetch
persists that our financial situation is
bound to be affected by the economic
crisis in continental Europe. This is
put forward as another reason for
the decline of the last two months in
the stock market. The truth is that
on the one hand. European conditions
are distinctly better than they We're
in the middle of September and that,
on the other hand, whatever happens
abroad the foreign demand for Amer
ican products is already down to the
minimum. beyond which it is not
likely to go, and that our present
commercial life during the past year
no losses

No doubt it is true that the s375.-

MONEY LIKELY TO

After January Disburse'

4 Considered.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

Money will work easier after the first
of the year. when the outpouring or
dividend and interest payments. for
which the banks and corporations of the
country are preparing. is turned over to
investors and others.
Pending that time. there may be little
Hlrries. but the chances seem to favor
:, continuation of liberal supply and the
iow rates that have been so noticeable
during the entire year. with the excep-
ton of rare flurries.
The same causes will make for easy
money. Merchants will keep to the
practice of going to the market often !:
they will repleniSh stocks when neces-
sary and will not lay in large stocks to
be liquidated at any old price. and to
clutter shelves for months.
