Curb Exchange In
An Unsettled State

NEW YORK. June 23.-Trading on the
New York Curb exchange was very I'M
settled during the first half of the week
a result of the failure of two impor
tant stock exchange firms and tho gen.
eral pressure that came in all security
markets in connection with closing out
bank loans in other security trading
groups. About the widest break was in
Checker Cab. which fell from 81 to 81,
but rallied 10 points from that low level
before the week ended. Midvale Com
pany OF Delaware dropped to the new
low record of 11% and Peerless Motor
showed a loss of 10 points.
Standard Oil issues suffered severe
breaks. Prairie OIL declined points to
1872, but more than recovered its loss
and rose to zoo. Standard OIL of Indiana,
after falling 2% to the new low of "a,
made a recovery.
In the independent group the widest
range was in Cities Service, which fell
from LAG to 100 before the market turned.
Magnolia sold down from 1872 to 125ia,
but this loss was turned to a gain at the
end of the week. Maracaibo was in de-
mand for time because of the addi-
tional payments made by Standard Oil
interests on the development contract
and advanced from 21A to 23K. Southern
States OIL fell points to 12M.

Cotton Goods Trade
Is Somewhat Quieter

NEW YORK, June 23.-Trade in cot
ton goods has been quieter this week
following a decline in cotton early in the
week, and disquieting reports of quiet
trade in general business. There has
been a substantial increase in activity in
wash fabrics and dresses in retail chan
nels, and in a limited way this has been
reflected back to primary markets job
bers continue to offer unusually attrac-
tive prices based upon replacement costs

Securities Markets
Extremely Sensitive

NEW YORK. June 23.-Extreme sensl-
tiveness characterized this weeks secur-
tiles markets bad break in prices on
the failure of two stock exchange houses
being followed by sharp recovery in
which most of the ground lost was re-
gained. With the exception of temporary
commitments made to take advantage of
the unusual conditions this week, large
traders showed disposition to wait for
more definite indications of the markets
ultimate trend before resuming their ac-
tive market campaigns.
Much significance was attached dur
ing the week to the improved forward
buying of steel the better demand for
copper and the continuation of carload
ings without any serious car shortage re-
sultng therefrom. Absense of an eff
fective foreign demand for surplus grain
has caused n reactionary trend ia GTaia
prices. Hogs sold during the week at
the lowest prices since 1912.
Money rates continued relatively easy.
Government short term financing appears
to have been completed until fall, making
1t possible to bring out several issues
which have been held up until govern
ment loans were out of the way. The
erratic fluctuation of the German mark
was the feature of the foreign exchange
market Failure of two stock exchange
houses dealing extensively in German
currency sent the rate tumbling down to
.0o06Ac, a new low record for all time.

Marooned Cat Ties
Up N. Y. Traffic
for a Dav

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Traf-
fic was at a standstill at Dean
street and Bedford avenue,
Brooklyn, while thousands
awaited the rescue Of a cat,
marooned since Saturday on the
ledge Of a bricked-in window at
the fourth floor Of the Unity
Club.
The cats prison is at the
Dean street side of the building,
sixty-fivc feet from the ground.
The ledge is about fifteen feet
down from the roof. How the
animal got into the predicament
no one knows. Persons living
in houses adjoining the club,
kept awake the last two nights
by the prisoners cries, stormed
the club officials with COM
plants.
