CHEMICAL AN D
OIL STOCKS
ACTIVE
Report Of Higher Prices for
Crude Oil Sends Shares Up
in Today's Short Session.
By II. j. DUIZEND,

Copyright. 1923. by Cosmopolitan news
Service.)
NEW YORK, Dec. f5.-on and
chemical stocks occupied the center
Of the speculative stage in the stock
market today. Conspicuous strength
was noted in both groups. Buying
Of the chemical stocks was inspired
by statements that the depression in
that industry which lasted uninter-
ruptedly throughout the years FOL.
lowing the collapse of the postwar
boom has run its course and that the
industry is now on the road Of Glow,
but sure recovery.
Interest was especially conferred In
the preferred stocks of such repre-
sentative companies as American
Agricultural and Virginia Carolina
Chemical. The constant hammering
by the bears during the prolonged
Z period of reverses had automatically
brought these issues down to levels
which represented receivership con-
dftions. A rebound was bound to
occur, the recovery being accelerated
by the knowledge of the turning Of
of the industrial tide and the i'm
proved financial status OF represen-
tative companies.
The advance. in the oil division
made further Roadway. Higher
prices for mid-continental crude oil
are slated for next week. In view
o. this, much attention was given
to companies credited with carry
ing large stocks in storage. a
marking up of the price would
mean q considerable increase in the
value OF these inventories Pan.
American issues, Sinclair, Houston
and Pacific stood out prominently.
1nvincible was the leader In the
low-priced class, reaching its best
price of the current recovery at
III.
Price movements In the balance
Of the industrial list were unim-
portant, stocks ranging over a
small area with the exception OF q
few individual issues which by rea-
son OF special developments moved
beyond the limits set in the gen.
era1 list. Corn Products was again
strong, crossing $50 by a big mar
gin. Hupp Motor turned weak on
the announcement Of the issuance
OF additional stock.
Railroad shares were neglected,
which was natural in view of the
deadIocked state Of affairs in Wash
ington. The market closed. steady.
Weakness trade reports Indicated
increased retail buying for holiday
purposes but conflicting opinions
regarding industrial activities. Dun's
stated q slowing down is visible In
primary channels, while Brad
streets found more cheerfulness In
large Industries.
Ronds were generally steady.
