STOCKS END STRONG
AFTER SELLING OFF
IN EARLY TRADING
Morning Decline Attributed
to Pressure on Oil
Shares.
BY STUART p. WEST

Copyright, by the San Antonio Light
New York, Aug. 25.--Heavy selling
of the oil shares had greater in
fluence upon the market today that
the strength displayed by the Chemical
and related stocks.
A spectacular rise occurred in
Dawson Chemical in the early trading,
the stock shooting up 10 points from
where it was Friday morning.
The fertilizer stocks joined in the
advance at a more moderate pace. But
elsewhere realizing sales were in evil
dence and the pressure INCREASED in
the final hour. Such leaders as
American Can, Baldwin Locomotive
and Studebaker were off over point.
That the action on the producers
and refiners dividend would be un-
favorable has been taFen for granted.
The shares themselves did not go
down but were somewhat better. The
street, however,, found confirmation
of its view that many of the other
oil companies similarly situated
where they have to have a lot OF
extra cash to carry over abnormally
large stocks of crude oil. will be forced
to cut or pass their dividends. Cosden
and Marland were especially weak,
the former making new low. Hous-
ton dropped~2 points, and Sicily went
through its previous low.
The jump in Dawson Chemical was
perhaps one part the improvement in
the fertilizer industry snd three parts
the development of silica jel process.
The success of this process in econo-
MIXING the refining of oil has been es-
tablished beyond quest IN. Other oil
companies are after the process and
announcement of The adoption of the
patent by another concern almost
as important as the Royal Dutch at
any moment would not be surprising.
The unimportance of the early sell
ing was demonstrated in the last
quarter of an hour. When it came
to covering short contracts put out
at the beginning of the day, prices
came back quickly. regaining nearly
al the lost ground. The close was
strong.
