For few days Wood pondered on
how to spend the money. believing
that the proper thing to do would be
to buy himself small medal to sig

sents a loss Of about 30 points on
the movement. The balance Of the
oil share market was fairly steady.
Delaware and Hudson's 8 point
jump to 215 was the feature Of the
railroad stocks. Demand was due
to reports Of possible segregation Of
valuable property and securities.
Stocks Of the Western roads were
