CURB TRADING SHOWN
IN SMALLER VOLUME
Lacks Movement of Outstanding
Importance, New York Reports.
Industrials Stronger
Rx the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August S.-The
market on the Curb Exchange today
lacked any movement of outstanding
importance as compared with price
fluctuations of recent sessions, al
though a fairly strong undertone pre-
vailed in the general list. Trading
was in reduced volume, and several
of the late speculative favorites were
neglected in the opening operations.
Penn Power was a strong issue,
moving up l II points, while Ameri-
can Light and United Light were
offered at concessions from the high
figures reached on Fridays upturn,
but the last-named issue quickly
rallied AZ points from the low mark.
The industrial group developed
strength as the session progressed.
Baking and Rado shares were higher
Coty Incorporated made an early
gain of 212 points. selling to 4s15.
Oil shares were virtually unchanged
from the previous closing quotations.
with trading quiet within narrow
limits.
All through the week the trading in
the public utilities was of a remark
able character and the strength shown
in that group could only be compre-
hended by contrast with low prices
prevailing early in the year, before
vigorous and sensational movements
started. United Light & Power
"a" which made a new high record
on an advance of Is points to 1856,
started from a low of 44k Many
other utility stocks travelled over even
a wider range.
American Light Traction had
an advance of II points during the
week to 203, and Southern Power and
many other issues made advances
ranging from 5 to 20 points. Most
of the transactions were accompanied
by reference to mergers and in some
cases official announcements of alb
sorption of companies whose stocks
had been most active were made
Industrial issues moved within a
narrow range, although some in this
group showed strength. Motor
stocks were among the weak excep-
tions. Oil stocks were pressed on
the market during the greater part
of the week.

STOCK PRICES TEND
TO HIGHER LEVELS
Forge Ahead During Week,
| Despite Profit-Taking and
Bear Selling.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August Stock
prices forged steadily ahead this week
despite occasional bear selling and
profit-taking. The advance was based
on the improving trade prospects, par
ticularly in such basic industries as
steel and copper and on increasing in
dications of no strain on the credit
situation, despite the unusually large
total of brokers loans on stock colIat-
eral.
The strong investment demand for
high grade railroad and industrial
stock brought fresh buying power into
other groups and stimulated pool ac-
tivitieS in a number of issues whose
current earnings give promise of spe-
cial dividend developments before the
end of the year.
Oil Slow, Motors Spotty.
Oils were sluggish in reflection of
additional crude and gasoline price
cuts and another increase in crude
production last week. Motors also pre-
sented a Spotty appearance, due to
professional selling based on the theory
that the recent price cuts in several
popular makes of cars and the impo-
sition of heavy tariff on July l by
Great Britain would result in a sharp
curtailment in earnings in the last
half of the year.
Steel shares responded to reports of
increasing operations and -stiffening
price tendencies, L. s. Steel common
climbing to the highest level in about
four months, Coppers also displayed
an improved tone in reflection of the
higher prices for the red metal.
With freight car loadings exceeding
the million mark in two weeks in sue
cession and important operating econ
omieS reflected in the June earnings
statements, the rails took on a new
lease of life. The demand centered at
FIRST in the Southern and Southwest
ern carriers, but soon spread to other
high grade dividend paying shares.
Expectations of an early and favor
able decision on the Nickel Plate"
merger resulted in a spirited demand
for the Van Sweringen issues in the
closing days of the week.
Activity in Utilities.
Favorable earnings reports and mer-
ger rumors led to a revival of activity
in the public utilities with such issues
at Montana Power. Public Service of
New Jersey, American Foreign Power,
Columbia Gas and several others
mounting to new high levels for the
year.
Scores of SpecialtieS also broke
through their previous 1925 tops dur
ing the week, the list including In
ternational Combustion Engineering,
Simmons Co., Midland Steel Products
pfd, Certain-teed Products, Westing-
house Airbrake, General Railway Sig
nal, White Rock certificates, Frank G..

bean beetles
EntomologiSt Says Southern
Counties Are Ravaged.

AS a result of a survey made in
the southern part of the State this
week by Frank n. Wallace, State
entomologist. an alarming increase
in the number of Mexican bean
beetles, one of the most predatious
insects ever to take its abode in
northern States, is noted.
Whereas, a year ago only a trace
of the beetles was reported, today
southern counties in general are be-
ing ravaged by the insect and 1t has
been seen in numbers as far north
as Bloomington, Wallace said.
While the beetles are not uniformly
bad in all of the down-state counties,
in spots they have absolutely ruined
the bean crop" Wallace said.
Principal diet of the beetle is the
leaf OF the bean plant. The only
successful remedy thus far dis
covered, Wallace said, is a spraying
solution of magnesium arsenate.
