Further Lessening of Outside

SPECIAL Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, April 2T.-The stock
market today showed a further
1eSsening of outside int rest and also
reduced activity on the part OF pro
IessiOnal operators, who, for the last
week or more have been making very
little headWay in one direction or
The other. Accompanying further
falling off in the volume of business
was a very much mixed price move
ment. Stocks went down at the
opening, rallied in the middle of the
day, then settled into a series OF in
decisive changes. which for the most
Ttarr were not at all important.
Strictly investment shares kept
well up to their high prices, under
Che influence of the very low money
rate Stocks of the type of United
states Steel preferred. Columbia Gas
preferred and General Motors per
cent preferred, not 70 mention others
of the same sort. were i'll demand
around their highest of the year.
General Motors. still under the in
tlucement OF the expectation of liberal
extra dividends at the meeting next
month, was strong. II was moving
ahead of the other motors. Hudson
Motor was quite freely supplied.
Studebaker had evidently discounted
the favorable st" @ment for the
March quarter. which showed $2.eS
- share earned. against S1.S4 Il year
ago. The stock for the most part
fiuctuated within a narrow range.
Even such Il highly fiuctuating
stock as General Electric did little
In the market.
The Street did not like the action
of United States Steel common on the
eve of the publication of the report
Tor the first quarter. Thes stock was
freely sold above III and in the after
MOON dropped below that figure.
'u Several reasons We're advanced for
.he buying which went on again today
in Freeport Texas. For some time
past Wall Street has heard rumors
OF the possibility of resumption Of
dividends in the near future. but these
appeared to be rather premature. For
the quarter ended February IS last
the company was able to show net
income after expenses and reserves
for depreciation equal to 35 cents a
share on the G29,S44 no par value
shares. This made a highly favorable
comparison with the period year ago,
when ii reported a deficit of S8,585.
'The last quarterly payment on the
present capitalization was made on
November 2S, 1919, when 81 n share
was declared. In some quarters the
buying was said to be for the &C
1ount of interests associated with the
Tevas Gulf Sulphur. who were looking
forward to a consolidation of the two
companies, although nothing official
along this line has been given out.

slipped into the house and up the

for someone to open Burbank's door.

when a nurse stepped out. The dog
slipped into, the room without at
tracing the attention of the nurse,
and when she resurned, had it's fore
paws on Burbank's bed. The patient
greeted the pet with a smile and a.
pat and it ran from the room as
soon as the nurse came near it.

Total revenue collected in the coun

delinquency of 1925 taxes as of July

velop a 2,O0O O000-acre concession
around Magdalena Bay in Lower Cali

r. Vasquez, holder of grants, for the
concession, announced tonight.
Rejection Of the offer followed a

has been negotiating. Vasquez says
he holds two grants from the Mexi-
can government for the exploitation
of oil, vegetable dyes and rubber on

Osawa and Vasquez said recently, had
considered leasing the grants. Vas
quez said tonight he would seek
