NEW YORK, August 15.-An in
creasing demand for American paper
money on the part of foreigners, espe-
cially Germans, is observed by Ameri-

POINTS RECLAIMED
IN TRADING LIST
Weakness in Oils Has Little
Effect on the General
Market.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 15-Following
Ithe sharp rally at Tuesdays close,
sentiment in speculative circles today
was more cheerful. Still, the uncer-
tainty regarding the outcome of the
Oil price cutting, which has now been
extended to the east and south, had a
repressive effect. Selling continued in
the oil shares. and the passing of the
Mexican Seaboard dividend brought
about a violent break in these stocks.
Beyond holding back operations for
the rise, the weakness in the oils had
little influence upon the general list.
American Can at 80 was up points
from where it was selling Tuesday
morning.
Up Nearly Five Points.
Baldwin Locomotive above III was
up nearly 5 points from yesterday s
low and Studebaker 3 points. United
States Steel common, crossing 80, was
selling at the highest of the present
month. The action of the independ-
ent steelS was impressive. Bethle-
hem Steel at one time was up z
points. and Republic Iron and Steel
points from last months lows, while
Vanadium Corporation, which is class
ed in the same group, got above
shown signs of sold-out condition.
United States Rubber stocks had a
further rebound in recognition of the
miSCalculation which speculative
Wall street had made regarding the
semi-annual report. Strength in
Foundation Company stock was at
tributed to renewal of pool oper-
ations which were active at the time
the shares were listed a month or
so ago. There were evidences of spe-
cial buying in National Biscuit. The
stock now pays SO a share, but earn
ings are easily sufficient to warrant
an increase, and this is what is being
talked of.
American Sugar Slumps.
American Sugar was off a point on
the reduction in refined sugar quota
tions below the Scent level. There
was further selling of Eastman Ko-
dak, again on the idea that failure
to continue the extra distribution at
the last quarterly meeting made the
stock as a 5 per cent dividend payer
seem high.
Railway stocks were generally dull.
Heavy buying of General Motors was
the feature in the early afternoon.
The stock has been steadily accumu-
lated for some time in expectation of
larger dividends. Dupont moved SYM
