CURB STOCKS FIRM
Trend Is Mixed With Special Moves
in Selected Issues.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Sept. 10.-Developments
affecting the movement of stocks on
the Curb market today differed from
those of week ago. News from abroad
was more favorable and parts of the
list appeared to be discounting the
settlement of the coal strike.
There was little disposition by the
outside public. however. TO renew or
crations on the buying side. Most of
the list maintained firmncss. but spe-
cial moves took place in certain select.
cd stocks.
Although the action of the REQ
cash dividend of q per cent, in addi-
ton to the regular IL per cent dis
tribution. had been anticipated the
stock responded with an initial ad-
vance of more than half point.
Little could be said of the move
ment of other motors. Where sales
occurred they were at quotations pre-
vailing at the close last week.
Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania was an.
other outstanding feature. selling down
to new low for the year, below Al,
rs compared with the previous close
of 40. In the afternoon support was
encountered and the stock rallied.
Standard of Kentucky was leader
of the Standard Oils getting up .
points. The Indiana stock was up n
half point while other oils were little
changed. The recovery which occurred
recently in Seaboard Oil and Gas from
81 to almost double this amount re-
Elected the bringing in of a 5000 barrel
well in the Luling field.
Chicago Nipple. Glass A established
a new high record when it sold at six
and a half. Earnings for August are
reported to have shown a substantial
increase over previous months.
The international Combustion Eu-
gineering rights, admitted to trading
last week. were slightly lower today.

DE FORREST SAYS JACK
NOT SAME OLD TIGER
BUT WILL WIN FRIDAY
Champion "Under Wreps,'
Apparently Because
Critic Watches Him.
BY the Associated Press.

Saratoc Springs, y. ". Sent. TO-
Jack Dempsey today is not the same
"tigerish" Dempsey that battered jess
Willard into helplassness in Toledo
four wears ago. but he is still good
enough TO conquer Luis Angel Firpo in
their heavyweight championship battle
at the Polo Grounds next Friday night.
This is the opinion of Jimmy DeFor-
rest. who trained Dempsey for his
fight. with Willard. and conditioned
Firpo for several of his contests in this
country. notably with Bill Brennan.
Jack McAuliffe and Willard. After
the match with Willard. DcForr i
and the big South American parted
company and the veteran trainer came
to Dempsey's camp to write his impress
sions of the champion.
DeForrest. standing at the edge of
the ring with several other boxing OK.
perts. watched every move the cham
pion made today.
DeForrest later declared that Demp-
sey was j. per cent ~,,ter hitter than
Firpo with either hand and was too
fat and knows too much I fall a
victim of Firpo's right. He asserted
that the champion. in his op. .on.
would win in two or three rounds.
but that if the fight went over six.
Dempsey possibly would be danger.
Trained observers were OF the opin-
ion that Dempsey possibly was boxing
under wraps because of DcForrcsts
presence Sunday. The champions
work. the experts agreed. was not as
impressive as on previous ',"s.
There was nothing Of the fierce ag-
Sressivcness. or even the SIP, d. which
the champion has been displaying for
the last week. He seemed to --''NNt
himself with carrying the tack to his
spaIs.ng mates. mauling them around
i the clinches and ducking t,i2ir blows
with puzzling. low bobbin: crouch.
The champion boxed six rounds.
The sun played hide and seek with
the clouds up 10 the tim Dempsey
dressed for his workout. 1t appeared
as il another deluge would keep him
idle for another day, but the sun broke
through and attracted the biggest
crowd that has watched the champion
in action since he started training a
month ago.

BOND MARKET DULL
Prices Uuchanged-Strength In For
eign Issues Feature.

Copyright, 1928, by The s. \. Light.
New York, Sept. f0.-Except for
strength in foreign issues. today's
bond market was dull and mostly
unchanged. The advance in the for
eign list followed news that Germany
had decided TO abandon passive re-
Sistance in the Ruhr. French IS
and French I lis responded prompt
ly. The gain would doubtless have
been greater had not these bonds
been consistently strong while France
exchange was so weak. Other French
bonds shared in the improvement,
Is. There is a long list of French
obligations traded in on this market.
That there is room for further i'm
provement in the market price of all
these obligations is shown by the
fact that they yield all the way from
: 10 per cent and more.
There was also sharp advance
in the new Austrian Is following the
gain of Saturday. Probably this
WAS almost entirely market move
ment. At today's price the Austrian
Is were up between 4 and ) points
over their recent low.
Among the Libertys the feature
was the continued heavincss in the
exempt . lbs which made an
other new low record for the year
Other United States government loans
we're steady. There is no particular
reason for decline in the ) lbs,
except that they come into compcti-
ton with the highest grade of
municipals. The new Treasury
financing announced today shows
that there is no foundation for the
report that long term offering
would be made.
