Curb Market
BY WILLIAM G. HEFFERNAN,
tCopyTight, 1881

New York, Nov. 23.-Heavy SELL
ing for short accounts, coupled
with fair amount of forced LIQUID
alton, brought about further de-
cline in the curb trading today with
the oils the chief sufferers.
The professional element, encour-
aged by its success in the previous
session renewed the attack short
ly after the opening and up to mid
afternoon, made even more head
way than in the market of Wednes-
day.
Declines in the high priced Stand
ard Oils ranged from two to ten
points. Standard of Indiana was
offered in large volume moving
over IL points in the first half ses-
sion. after which the market quiet
ed down somewhat and some of this
loss was regained in the afternoon.
Magnolia Petroleum and Standard
of New York. old and new, were
freely sold and Standard of Kan
sas, Prairie Oil and Gas, Vacuum
Oil stocks and Ohio Oil all broke
sharply. Pipe Line shares moved
irregularly but showed losses on
the day in the majority of in
stances. Crescent Pipe Line after
selling higher in the early dealings
fell back below its previous close,
and Buckeye Pipe Line was traded
in most of the session a point. I'M
der the last sale. Prairie Pipe Line
lost over five points! New York
Transit gained 21a but subsequent
ly lost Part of this.
New England Fuel Oil and South
ern States were outstanding points
of weakness in the Independent
Oils, while a further decline oc-
Cured in Maracaibo.
The volume of business in the
industrial section was considerably
smaller than on recent days due. to
the transfer to the New York Stock
Exchange today of quite number
of recent active industrial leaders.
Included among these were Pack
ard Motors common and pre-
ferred, Macy common and pre-
ferred, the New Common Stock of
$25 par. value of National Biscuit
Company, the 100000 shares of
Consolidated Gas Company new
stock and rights. Several other
issues OF less Importance were al
so removed from trading including
one or two bonds.
Continental Motors was one of
the active leaders in the motor
group and was Off fractionally.

Chicago. Nov. 23.-There vas lit
tie doing in the wheat market today
30 far as price changes are con-
cerh1d. Eearish tendencies were
curbed BY reports Of an eastern
conference, for deyising ways and
means to finance grain purchases
by foreign countries. The buying
power was better than it had been
for the past day Or two coming
from people who had sold out long
wheat and were willing to replace
lit In anticipation of something con-
crete developing out Of the eastern
conference. The dip early was due
to commission houses selling for
outside longs who we're disturbed
over the weakness in foreign mar
kets and the closing break in the
local market Wednesday. There
was little buying on the break by
seaboard interest early. Gulf ex-
ports reported some business work.
ed through Galveston for November
and December loading. Milling de-
mand for wheat was moderate.
Cash wheat premiums were un-
changed. Winnipeg reported a
slight improvement in premiums
while Minneapolis reported choice
wheat premiums 1c up and poorer
kinds 1c off. Primary receipts
were slightly in excess Of last
week.
Action Of the corn market was
much the same as in wheat. There
! were supporting orders on the dip
but the buying failed to follow the
advances. Short selling was not
INDUCED in and the only pressure
came from longs who wanted prof.
its. 1t will be difficult to induce
new buying into corn now that hogs
are selling below the basis of feed.
Shipping demand for corn vas mod
crate. A few cars of corn were
booked on overnight bids to the
country.
Oats simply followed the lead of
other grains. Trade was uninter-
esting. A better shipping demand
was noted.
J. Provisions eased of. with hogs
early but local support was en-
countered on the dip.
Wheat closed weak. " to &c

WEEKLY VEGETABLE
AND FRUIT REVIEW

Chicago, Nov. ga general
firm tone in the fruit and vegetable
market. unaffected by a slight de-
crease in shipments was noted for
the week ending Nov. IS, according
to the weekly market review of the
United States bureau of agricul-
tural; economics.
Shipments showed a decrease of
is per cent over the preceding
week. partly due to smaller offer
ings of potatoes and apples.
The apple market closed with an
indication of weakening prices, the
slight curtailment of shipments not
causing any strengthening of the
tone. However, the potato market
indicated a slight increase, partly
caused by damage to the crop by
freezing in the northwest.
