NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Reaction-
ary tendencies were witnessed on
the curb exchange today, the result
of profit-taking, especially in those
issues which were prominent in the
recent rise. An encouraging feature
was tn elimited extent Of the de-
cline, most losses being fractional.
OIL shares had to contend with q

Standard Oil Of Indiana, covering
its entire territory, comprising
eleven States, with the exception Of
South Dakota, where the price was
advanced 2 cents because of I'M
usual conditions. Indiana shares re-
ceded a half point, similar declines
being sustained by the majority Of
Standard Oil stocks, excepting
Prairie Oil and Gas, which declined
two points. Ohio Oil, however, was
again heavily. bought, advancing
more than a point. Independtn Oils
ruled fractionally lower.
Price movements in the industrial
list were mixed, realizing sales be-
ing conducted in the motors. the
coal stocks and various specialties,
while fresh buying appeared in is
sues which were laggards in this

CORFU SEEN AS

LONDON, Nov. 10.-The League
Of Nations is undergoing close ex-
animation, but it's too early yet to
say whether it's a pre-mortem or a
postImortem examination. In fact,
the examination is chiefly to deter.
mine whether or not the League Of
Nations is still alive, as the result
Of the Corfu incident.
The examination is free for all ex-
aminers and was started by Viscount
Grey, who made a statement indi-
eating his belief thaL the League
had come perilously near to death
at the hands Of Mussolini, II it hadn't
been altogether suffocated.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-As could
reasonably be expected at the close
of week of steadily advancing prices,
the stock market faced a good bit Of
profit-taxing today. Traders, who
had some handsome paper profits ac-
crued to them, were eager to convert
part of them at least into cash. They
were rendered cautious by the re-
newed slump in the foreign ex-
changes, sterling hitting a new low
at $4.S7h, and the fear that the
decision OF this Government not to
participate in reparation parley, in
which the scope of Investigation he
