FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Stocks Generally Strong, Led
by Railroad Equipments
Oils Are Weak.

Spectators in stocks paid considerable
attention yesterday to current discussion
of probable railroad needs later in the
year. when autumn traffic begins to move
in volume, and in consequence railway
equipment shares were bid up with much
l,i-L Baldwin Locomotive, for example,
was carried forward more than points.
closing at it's best quotation of this year.
and there were gains Of u points to 4
points in American Locomotive. Ameri-
can Car and Foundry, Pullman and Lima
Locomotive.
Steel issues also were in extensive de-
mand. AS whole the market was de-
cidedly strong except for a wabbly ten
dency among petroleum stocks. That
was amply accounted for by cut of 25
cents barrel in crude oil prices in the
mid-continent and Pacific coast fields.
The stock market ended the week In
a quite surprising position in view Of the
coal and railroad strikes. The sugges-
tion from governmental quarters that
Federal operation might be necessary
for railways in sections where the strike
was most effective in slowing the move-
ment of mail was not altogether bull
ish factor, yet share quotations paid no
attention to it. 1t was plain from day
to day through last week that the secur-
ity markets were less and less inclined
to permit temporary difficulties to OBJ
scure the underlying structure of busi-
ness and the prospects held out by easy
money for the financing OF business
growth on terms satisfactory to the.
borrower.
A sharp decrease which occurred in
the Clearing House banks excess re-
serve. amounting to SIS. 100000 as re-
ported in the statement of actual condi-
tion at the week end. evidently reflected
heavy repayments of loans of member
banks at the Federal Reserve Bank. Re-
serves carried with the Reserve institu-
ton declined s2o.51s.oOO. The demand
deposit account certainly carried no in
timaton of higher call loan Mates in the
fore part of this week, for deposits ex-
panded $36,100.000. 1t remains to be
seen whether current accumulations Of
temporary balances in New York will
continue under 2s4 to per cent. call
money. One thing in favor of rise
instead of fall of deposits Is the fact
that last weeks total of $4.071 900, 900
(demand deposits) was s15o.O0o.0o0 to
s25o,ooo.ooo less than in the greater
part of June.
Grain prices advanced yesterday. The
net result OF last weeks dealings in
wheat was the replacement Of most of
the previous weeks losses
The cotton exchanges were fairly firm.
Cotton ended a dull session very little
changed from Fridays last quotations.

MIDCONTINENT OIL
REDUCED Csc. "A BARREL
Cut From 81 Quotation No
Surprise Here.

A general reduction OF 25 cents a
barrel in the price OF Midcontincnt crude
oil was announced yesterday by several
companies, including the Prairie OIL &
Gas Company. the Sinclair Crude Oil
Purchasing Company, the Standard Oil
Company OF California and other COM
panies. IL Is expected that all companies
viii, follow suit early in the week
The new price established by those
companies announcing reductions is S1.75
barrel. The cut did not come as a
surprise TO the financial community and
the stock market therefore did not
reflect II TO any great extent. Standard
Oil of California declined sharply on the
announcement. but rallied afterward and
recovered much OF its loss. The stock
market had discounted just such cut
In two or three preceding days when
o,, stocks were weak on rumors that the
reduction was impending.
An interesting situation now exists In
the oil industry. with crude oil prices
reduced and indications from various
sources that there is a substantial over
production OF crude in this country on
the one hand and shortage OF fuel oil
on the other hand, with corresponding
increase In price. The shipping industry
Is apt to feel the lack Of fuel oil. while
at the same time the overproduction OF
crude will operate to tho benefit Of other
industries.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
First Nash sale ON Exchenge.

The first sale of Nash Motors stock
since its listing on the New York Stock
Exchange was made yesterday. when
fifteen shares changed hands at 453. At
the close there was a bid of 40 for the
stock. with none offered for sale. On the
day the stock was listed the closing bid
and asked prices were 400 and 435 re-
spectively ; on Friday they were 40 and
500. A great deal of criticism of the
authorities OF the exchange has been
heard as a result of the listing of this
stock. of which there are only $4,000
shares outstanding. Such small capi-
and a presumably small dis
tribution contain an element of danger
from a stock trading point OF view. such
as was shown In the famous Stutz cor
ner OF 1920. In that case there was
nearly so per cent. more stock outstand-
ing than was listed for Nash Motors.
