CURB STOCKS RECOVER
OIL Shars Rise Despite Cuts in Gaso-
line Quotations.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Sept. 1.-The move
ment of stocks on the Curb Exchange
today lainly showed that the selling
late last week had been carried to ex-
tremes. A number Of the oils which
should have been affected by the an
nouncement that leading refiners had
cut gasoline another cent a gallon,
sold well above the closing prices OF
Saturday.
Standard Of New York, when it
reached 81 IL, was up n point, and
Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania was some
what higher. Standard of Indiana was
exceptionally active and strong.
Prairie Oil and Gas recorded a loss
of 2 points at one time. but was up
more than this amount from the low
reached last week.
A feature in the industrial section
was the sharp run up of 4 points in
Durant Motors of Delware. The ac-
ton of Durant, however. failed to
stimulate buying in others of the mo-
tors. Durant motors, which had been
in better demand recently. merely held
firm. and Yellow Taxi receded over
points 10 within a fraction of its low
last week.
During most Of the afternoon the
maraet showed a decidedly firmer
tone. gillette Razor advanced well
above 260. National Supply Of Della
ware gained ground and Glen Alden
was improved. The new Chicago Nip
pie stocks were little changed.

BOND PRICES DROP
Investment and Speculative Issues
Slightly Lower.

Copyright. by the San Antonio Light.
New York, Sept. 17.-Bond prices
were slightly lower today, both the
strictly investment issues and for the
more speculative descriptions. AS to
the first, the firmer tendency in the
money market is the obvious explana-
ton. Rates for three to six months
funds are quoted at 5 ga per cent to-
day and only short dated loans were
obtainable at 5 IL per cent. 1t
would seem that the investor in high
grade securities was entitled to q high
current quotation for bonds in that
class affords.
Libertys held fairly well but there
was some shading of prices for the
legal" rails and prime industrials.
The prime investment bonds were
affected by the speculative stocks and
here the Wall street mood was most
~ pessimistic. Losses, however, were
almost entirely fractional and trad
ing was light. The August railway
earnings statements will begin to ap-
pear this week and a good deal de-
ponds on what they show.
Both the adjustment and the in
come Is of the ST. Louis-San Fran
cisco Railroad were fractionally low
err. The Fries were heavy with thu
general As dropping well below 40.
The st. Paul obligations were ire
gular and the movement which adj
vanced the quotation for the Chicago
& Alton LIS seemed to have
come TO a stop. On the other hand.
Missouri. Kansas & Texas ADJUST
ments were fairly firm and there was
a little recovery in Chicago Great
Western As.

WANT A RAILROAD
San Angelo and Territory Around
Prefer to Trade in San Antonio.

Merchants in San Angelo and the
adjacent territory are especially anxi-
Gus to secure direct railroad connec-
tons with San Antonio and the south
western part Of the state, according
to Harvey II. Allen of San Angelo,
who spent Tuesday in San Antonio.
Mr.. Allen and Homer ID. Wade. secre-
tary of the West Texas Chamber of
Commerce. from Fort Worth, came 10
San Antonio to confer with U. S.
Pawkett, traffic manager of the San
Antonio Freight Bureau. on the Dal-
las-Fort Worth rate case and TO Sc
cure closer cooperation of San An
tonic in the program of the West
Texas chamber.
The most direct route between San
Angelo and San Antonio at present
is through Temple. There is a rich
territory on direct line between the
two cities that is not served by any
road and which ought TO make the
operation Of road profitable FROM
the beginning, he said.
Mr.. Allen expressed the belief that
merchants in his section of the state
would prefer to trade in San Antonio
because they have found that San An
tonio's problems are their problems
The two sections cooperate in other
matters and should trade with one
another. he said.
The Dallas-Fort Worth rate case is
proceeding in a satisfactory manner.
according 10 Mr.. Wade. Marshall,
Tyler. Mount Pleasant. Waco, Austin,
San Marcos and other towns of GEN.
trial and east Texas are joining in
the fight to maintain the common
point rate.
Cotton throughout the central pari
of the state is turning out better than
was expected, Mr.. Wade stated. The
greatest need at the present is for
more pickers. He has cotton field
in which he says there are more than
40 bales open with only six pickers.
The range conditions throughout the
west we're never more promising, both
visitors report. Five weeks ago there
was no grass and no water for stock.
Recent rains have turned the ranges
until they look like gardens, they say,
and there is sufficient water to carry
the stock through the winter.

New York, Sept. 17.-Another cut
of a cent a gallon in gasoline prices
today was not unexpected on the
stock exchange. In face of it Wall
hey selling Of the oil shares last
week.
Today the market was inclined to
look upon the side of the incident as
piece of bad news which it was
a relief 10 have out of the way. Here
and there fresh selling developed in
the oil group. Sinclair made a new
low, reflecting the generali belief
that the dividend is gone.
There was also considerable pres
sure against Cosden despite the pre-
vsiling view that the present rate
will be maintained. The stock. how
ever, ran into strong support around
20.
In some of the other oils, notably
the Pan Americans, a good deal of
short covering took place on the
theory that unfavorable occurrences
in the oil trade have been for the
time being exhausted
In the general list there was much
irregularity, but at no time was there

TO STOP DISORDERS
Irish Republicans will Not Get

Dublin, Sept f7.-The new Parlia-
mcnt will meet Wednesday.
All the members elected have been
summoned 10 attend.
The notices to Republicans we're
addressed, not to the prisons where
most of them are confined, but to their
private homes.
Their friends readdressed them TO
canon DeValera and his IS col

Some Republicans who are at large
in the country came up TO Dublin aud
were supposed to be planning dem
onsiration when Parliament assem-
bled. similar TO that registered by
Lawrence Ginnell at the opening OF
the hall.
This plan, however. will be frus-
trated by standing order passed to-
ward the end of he last session and
NOT vet out of the printers hands.
1t prescribes that no member can
be admitted TO the Dali Eireann I'M
less he be a member according TO law.
This means that the oath OF ale
glance is essential.
The parliamentary oath will not be
taken within on the floor of the
house. but beforehand, privately, in
the clerks office.
This is expected TO remove all OPP
portunity for a demonstration. for
members who are not sworn can be
STONED at the outer gate.
The business of the opening day
will be the election of a speaker and
y dcnuty sneaker. and probably also a
nresident. who may make statement
Of his parliamentary program and
nominate his cabinet for the Daifs
approval.

will be exactly the same in the new

INA WELL PULLS
TOO FINE STRAINER
WHICH CUTS OFF OIL
Hondo Test Sends to Som
erset for Perforated Cas-
ing Delaying Pumping.

Hondo, Tex. Sept. 17.-The Ina
Oil Company's No. . burst scheduled
to go on pump Sunday was not pump
ing Monday due TO the necessity OF
pulling a strainer which proved too
fine for the oil and sand in this field.
1t was special strainer of a type
never before used in this locality and
was patterned after the kind used in
the Gulf coastal fields. When put into
the well it cut off the oil and had TO
be pulled. A truck was then sent to
Somerset to bring out perforated cas-.
ing such as is set in that field after
which the well will be put on the
pump and tested for production.
