SHARP ADVANCES;
HEAVY REALIZING
Distribution in Parts of List,
While Other Shares
Shoot Upward.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 29.-In spite
of the impression of strength created
by the continued advance in the oil
shares and in the rise in motors, the
stock market today was highly ir-
regular. There were a number OF
rather violent advances among in
dustrial specialties, but just as
many weak spots among recent
favorites.
One of the important contributing
factors in this connection was the
heaviness of Steel common, the less
favorable news regarding the steel
industry. Under cover of another up
ward movement in the oils profit TAX
ing went on actively and distribution
was made easier in certain directions
The taking up of the motors in the
afternoon coincided with check 10
she upturn in the oils, and 1T appeared
that traders were shifting from the
latter into the automobile and acces-
6ory group.
Another Advance in Oil.
An advance of 25 cents a barrel in
Gulf Coast Crude oil fitted in with
Wall Streets view that oil prices
hre on the upgrade. The announce
ment stimulated speculation in the
oil group, and nearly all these
stocks made new highs. Houston Oil
representing the company which will
be one of the chief benefciaries. ran
up very sharply. Large stop orders
for short account were in the mar
11et for Pan-Am erican B above 20,
and the execution of these carried the
stock up a point further. Texas
Company, Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey, Barnsdall A. California Pc
troleum, Phillips Petroleum, Inde-
pendent Oil and Gas, Pure Oil, Asso
Ciated Oil and Louisiana Oil and Re-
filming were all in demand. Pacific
OIL the leader on the previous days,
ran into heavy profit-taking around
641a.
Mack Trucks Jump.
1t was Mack Trucks common, with
a rather sensational jump, which re-
aroused interest in the motor section.
Those usually we'll informed on Mack
Trucks affairs were not in sympathy
with such a violent rise, saying that
there was no immediate reason SO far
as dividend prospects were concerned.
But the way the stock went in a brief
space from around 1s2 to above 130

Stock Jumps so Points.
The spectacular features among
specialties included S. S. Kresge,
which jumped so points on the news
of the so per cent stock dividend de-
clared. The astonishing rise in the
Commercial Solvents shares continued.
There were definite rumors that Corn
Products Refining was after the Com
mercial solvents because the business
of the two companies along certain
lines would work in very we'll to-
gether.
Some further buying occurred in
Missouri. Kansas and Texas and in

NEW YORK, January 29.-Coal Age
reports the market today as follows s:
The expected sag in the bituminous
coal business, with the moderation in
weather conditions and continuation
of heavy production, has appeared, as
was inevitable. Domestic coal prices
are in difficulties in the Middle West,
and even steam buyers are apathetic,
which has caused screenings to slump
elightly. Though a slight car short
age is developing in the Kentucky
fields, production is close to record
figures, but as demand is not keepin &
pace, the market is lacking in the
strength that was in evidence not
long ago.
Eastern Trade Is Firmer.
Smokeless prices have been ad-
Vanced in New England, but as there
IB no greater demand 1T is question
able as to whether the increases will
hold, though it is worthy of note that
some of the mills are increasing op-
erations. Activity is somewhat more
brisk in the New York and Philadel-
phia markets. prices sticking at prac
tically the old levels, however. Busi-
ness at Baltimore continues to be a
disappointment, even the export trade
being dormant.
without showing any particularly
high spots, the anthracite market has
been holding it's recent gains, with
occasional spurts. Egg is beginning
TO show some signs of life, though
chestnut continues to lead in demand,
followed by stove. Steam sizes show
the biggest increase in demand, the
supply having been curtailed by the
strike.
Prices Slightly Lower.
Coal Age index of spot prices of
bitumlnous coal registered another
slight recession during the last week,
standing on January 26 at $1.73 the
corresponding price for which is
$2.09, compared with S1.74 and s2.11,
respectively, on January 10.
There was a reaction in activity at
Hampton Roads during the last week,
dumpings of coal for all accounts
during the period ended January %
totaling 399,740 net tons, compared
with 421.0S7 tons dumped during the
preceding week.
