SHARP ADVANCES

BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September S.-Recov-
cry was fairly general in the Stock
Market today Traders from the start
manifested a desire TO take in short
contracts. They were influenced by
the absence Of any evidence that I'M
portant liquidation was taking place.
Also they were affected in their judg
ment by the increase in st. Louis
San Francisco dividend, by the ease
with which United States Steel COM
mon came back and by the renewed
strength in Baldwin Locomotive.
Frisco Stock Strong.
ST Louis-San Francisco had
maximum gain of 29s points on the
raising of the dividend to per cent.
This action had a favorable effect
upon other rails, like st. Louis and

policy. At the same time reports that

Soft Coal Shares Gain.

There were recoveries in the high
priced industrials proportional to the
violence of their fall on the two pre-
vious days. Mack Trucks, General

less sharply. But of more significance
was the ease with which United

OIL ST0CKSP|LEUP
IN SPITE OF PRICES
Recent Cut in Gasoline
Charges Laid to CIamoring
of Motorists.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, September 16.-
Petroleum producers have been un-
able to control the flow of oil despite
the recent drastic cuts in gasoline
prices. Many of them said today
they anticipated additional cuts in
crude oil quotations and that as a
result many refiners are unloading
their surplus gasoline stock prelim-
mary to stocking up again at lower
costs. Some oil company officials
admit frankly they see no prospects
for higher prices for either crude
or refined products in the near future.
Despite the fact that gasoline con-
sumption is almost at its peak for
the year and for all time, and many
industrial plants and householders
are preparing to change from coal
to oil for fuel, officials of the Stand
ard Oil Co. of California say there
need be no fear of shortage of future
supplies.
New Fields Discovered.
They point out that where pro-
duction has fallen off, new fields have
always been found and that there
are a billion acres of land in this
country alone geographically and
geologically favorable to the presence
of oil which have not yet been eX-
plored The statement declares real
conservation lies in the development
of oil and gas engines which will
yield double the results now possible
from the same amount of fuel.
In the midcontinent field petroleum
| men predict further reductions in the
price of crude with even lower gaso-
| line prices than now exist. An official
! of one of the largest companies oper-
ating in the midcontinent field said to-
day he believed public demand for
| lower gasoline prices had as much
| to do with recent gasoline cuts as any
| other factor.
Clamoring for Lower Prices.
People are clamoring for lower
| prices in everything" he said. Nat
! urally motorists waIN lower gas. The
| result is one companS announces a
| reduction and gets all the business un-
III other companies do likewise.
In the intermountain c/untry, it is
held that entirely too Nuch gasoline
IN being produced. Oh men there say
TIM country is spotted with refneries
all r>>~ning out ->soline in huge guam
titles. since gasoline usually finds a
reader market than other petroleum
products.
The volume of gasoline has been en-
| hanced by the use of various crack
| ing" processes which yield more vol
| ume in less time than the older re-
| filming methods. Crude oil in the mid
continent and intermountain districts
is held by producers at around 7A to
| 81 cents.
These prices, refiners say, leave
| only a. minimum margin between the
| cost of crude and the prices paid for
| refined products.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
A System for Saving.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

One of the large New England trust
companies recently put out plan for
systematic saving designed for those
of their clients who could put aside
800 or more a month. The needs
along this line of individuals Of more
moderate means were left to inStitu-
tionS which make a specially of Serv-
ing that group, including the savings
banks and the building and loan aSso-
Citations.
AT first thought it may seem as
though investors able TO save as much
per month as the minimum under the
plan provided by this trust company
would be able to take care of them
selves and not need any particular
scheme for systematic saving. AS a
matter of fact there are a great many
professional men with comparatively
large incomes whose attention is alb
sorbed quite properly with their pro-
fessional problems and have neither
the time nor inclination for the de-
tailed study of securities which intel
ligent investment demands. For these
the idea will undoubtedly prove at
tractive.
Without going into particulars, the
scheme involves the purchase of ap-
proved securities either outright or
on the installment plan with the rein.
ing how rapidly savings accumulate
when the annual interest is consistent
ly reinvested. If the initial sum is
$4,000 and the interest rate is per
cent, the principal and accumulated
interest in 20 years amounts to
S53,062.S .S5; if the interest rate is 51a
per cent, the sum in 20 years would be
S58,355 40, and If 1t is per cent the
corresponding amount is S64,263.09.

smaller investor as well. He, too, car
increase his resources proportionately
even If he has to begin on a much
more moderate scale. 1t would be in
teresting if the statistics were avail
able to compare the results of such
a systematic savings plan with that
obtained from a similar amount used
in speculation. My guess is that "
times out of 100 the comparison would
be to the disadvantage Of specula
ton.
