Pansies were picked Dec. Z, by Mrs.
Charles Austin in her garden at Bel
grade Lakes. And a resident on the

fears for the we'll being of his 800 or
more tulip bulbs. He expects any
day now to see them bursting

caught by a heavy frost. A friends
suggestion was that he install re-
frigeration plant in his garden, pipe
the soil and thus insure his bulbs of
permanent winter weather.

CURB OILS ACTIVE
Recession Ends When Prairie De
cIares Regular Dividend.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York. Sept. ii. - The oils
again were the center of activity on
the curb today. Heavy selling brought
about early recessions and unsettled
the entire list.
Selling in this group was checked
somewhat shortly after noon by an
nouncement that directors of Prairie
Oil and Gas had declared the regular
quarterly dividend of 81. This stock
had receded points early in the day,
but made up the greater part OF the
loss in the afternoon.
Standard of Indiana, Vacuum and
Prairie Pipe Line all reached lower
levels. but the declines were not as
sharp as on the previous day. The
Indiana stock later got above its
close Thursday.
Mexican oils, however, were not
subjected to the selling. Marland OF
Mexico duplicated its action of week
or so ago by advancing above the 81
level. but failed to retain all the i'm
provement.
Lower prices were reached in n
number Of the industrials. but the bet
ter grade issues were well taken Mt the
bottom figures. Dubilier Radio estab-
lished a new low for the year when
it broke through IL. Gillette Safety
Razor was better supported.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
WHEN SENTIMENT
FAILS TO IMPROVE
Buying Held in Check by
Developments in
Oil Trade.
By STUART p. WEST.

Copyright, by the San Antonio Light
New York. Sept. 14.-The stock
markets movement was extremely IT.
regular today and the question upper
most in the street was whether or
not, in view of the sharp decline OF
the past few days, the list is entitled
to at least a technical rally.
Sentiment was not much improved
but reports that. interests who had
been heavy sellers earlier in the week
had turned to the buying side were
followed by short covering in many
active industrials.
Buying still was held in check as
the result of the uncertainties sur
rounding the oil trade and the none
too encouraging statements Of condi-
tons in the steel and other industries.
The better tone of foreign news
seemed to have little effect.
Prices OF such issues as United
States Steel common. Studebaker,
American Can and Baldwin Locomo-
tive fell below the Thursdays prices
before prices hardened.
The oils attracted much attention
because of recent event in the oil
trade. Considerable talk was heard
regarding "a fight for control" and
some people profess to see in late
developments in the trade events
which have not come to the surface.
The passing of the Marland Oil
dividend and the declaring of the
Pan American dividends seemed to
have ben pretty well discounted, al
though the stocks of both these COM
panies were active. Marland sank
to new low but responded to sup.
port.
Prairie Oil and Gas. the important
factor in the mid-continent field, an
nounced the declaration of regular
dividends. This was of interest in
connection with the resignation of the
former Prairie Oil president, the re-
ports that. the company was to close
its New York office and the expecta-
ton that price cuts would be an
nounced in crude oil purchased by
this concern.
