CURB STOCKS DECLINE
UNDER HEAVY SELLING
Oil Group Leads Procession in Its
Downward Course.
By United Fin0ncjcJ

By United FinoncjcJ
NEW YORK, April 21.-Selling
PRESSURE was again apparent in the
curb dealings today and stocks in
general sold off in a dull two-hour
session.
The principal news event was a cut
fl gasoline prices by Standard of New
York and New England. This gave
fresh impetus to pressure on oils and
Standard Of New York went back to
42H. Indiana below 50 and Vacuum
just above 40. Cities Service was off
2 Mutual at one time sold below IL.
Industrials were affected by the
drop in oils and by the generally
easier feeling in the security markets.
Cleveland Auto at SO was nearly two
points under the recent high made
on its upward squirt. Durant fell
back TO around SO while stocks like
Dublier were showing marked effects
Of the downward tendency.
In the absence of support on the
way down, the market turned very
dull and many stocks which have
been active recently did not come into
the trading and others sold in small
volume.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Wheat was
higher and rough grains lower at the
close Of the Chicago Board of Trade
today.
Export buying Of wheat caused the
strength About 700 900 bushels Of
wheat were sold for shipment abroad
the largest export business reported in
weeks. The buying by foreign In
terests appeared only a feature in
the dip in the opening caused by i'm
proved crop reports and favorable
weather conditions.
Corn was under heavy liquidation
and weak throughout the short SEES
sion. II failed to respond to the
advance in wheat. The heavy acreage

doned wheat largely influenced sell
Ing.
Oats was weak with corn.
Provisions dropped, due to heavy
selling by packer and local inter

CITY DENIED RIGHT
TO EXPEND MONEY
FOR CONVENTIONS
Groninger Rules ApproprI-
atoms Disqualification
Vets Lose by Decision.

Thousands of dollars have been ap-
propriated by the city in years past
for conventions of military, civic or
educational character when It had
no legal right to do SO, according to
an opinion given Mayor Shank today
by Corporation Counsel Taylor e.
Groninger.
The question arose when the mayor
several days ago promised TO ap
propriate $1,000 for entertainment of
the Rainbow Division Veterans at
their national encampment here this
summer. The mayor expressed the
opinion that the money would not be
appropriated unless some law was
found where it could be legally done.
In 1898 the city appropriated $4,000
to entertain the National G. A. r. en-
campment by a special act of the Leg
islature but since that time the law
makes only $500 a year available for
such purposes, GrOninger said.
In 1921 thousands of dollars was ap
propriated by the city for such pur
poses. A total Of $4,000 was spent to
entertain Marshal Foch; S7,084.97 for
the Fourth Of July, and $4,000 for the
G. A. r. encampment.
