CURB SHARES RISE;
OILS ARE STRONG
BulIish Demonstration in Mo-

Sells Off.
BY WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special OlspdJcn 10 Inc Stdr.
NEW YORK, December 12.-Except
for momentary hesitation around the
opening due to the expectation of
belated selling orders as a result OF
apprehension with regard to the Gov
ernment's success in the O'Fallon
valuation case, prices for representa-
tive securities in the Curb Exchange
today showed an advancing tendency.
There was a note of reserve in the
buying movement, however, and ex-
cept in a few instances, fluctuations
ruled within the point area.
Announcement that the Federal
Trade Commission had cleaned the
oil companies of charges of price fix
ing may have stimulated buying IN
this group, which was among the first
to move upward. Vacuum OIL ana
Standard Oil of Indiana, were promi'
nent in their section, while Interconti-
mental Petroleum was leader among
the independents. British interests re.
Gently bought a large block of stock
of this company, which owns vast Oil
acreage in Central and South Ameri-
ca. The stock is selling at its high
for the year.
There was a moderate bullish dem
onstration in motor shares In appre-
citation of the approaching automo-
bile show and wide moving speclal-
ties generally registered gains es-
pecially Tubize Silk, which ran up
more than 80 points to above 4S0.
Johns Manville, Borden, United Bis.
cult B." United States Freight and
United Electric Coal also stood out
sharply in the advance.
Bancitaly stock opened off nearly
4 points at 1891 and failed to better
its position as the season progressed.
Expectation that this issue might be
removed from the trading list, at the
request of officials of the bank, was
believed to be the principal reason
for selling. Lehigh Valley Coal sales
continued to droop, falling to a new
low for the year.
Public utility and mining stocks
acted well, particularly the latter
group under the leadership of New
Cornelia, which made a new high
for the year. and Newmont Mining.

$3.50 A BALE DROP
IN COTTON MARKET
Liquidation of Old Long Ac.
counts Sends Prices
Down so Points.
Nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December IA de-
cline of approximately $500 a bale
occurred in the cotton market today
fihder continued liquidation of old
long accounts, which sent prices off
to about the 1914 cent level for March
contracts, or so points under Satur-
days closing quotation. A little trade
buying on scale-down orders was re-
ported by local brokers, but otherwise
buying was attributed chiefly TO Gov
ering. Prices were within or 5
points of the lowest during mid
afternoon.
The market opened easy at a de.
cline of IL to II points under re-
newed liquidation combined with To-
cal and Southern selling, evidently in
f1uenced by continued talk of probable
domestic mill curtailment and rela-
lively weak Liverpool cables, ac-
companied by unfavorable trade re-
ports from Manchester.
Stop orders were uncovered as
prices broke below the previous points
Of resistance, the decline extending to
1916 for January and 1884 for May
before the end of the first hour, or
about 80 to 33 points net lower.
Cable advices from Liverpool re-
ported heavy all-around liquidation,
with poor absorption in the Liverpool
market, also fair demand for cotton
cloths in Manchester, but yarns were
dull.
The market steadied slightly after
the execution of stop orders on the
early decline. but except for a little
trade buying or covering little demand
was in evidence, and prices weakened
again later under renewed liquidation.
At midday January was selling
around 18.45 and May 1881, or 30 to
80 points net lower. Some Southern
selling was reported here, but the
offerings were attributed chiefly to
liquidation of old long accounts.

CHICAGO, December 12.-Despite
2,223,000 bushels decrease of the

market here receded today. Export
demand for wheat from North Amer

weak and Argentina news bearish.
Profit-taking sales eased corn and oats

Reports of a satisfactory crop out
look in Argentina gave considerable
advantage to the selling side of the
wheat market at times today, aside
from word of increasing supplies Of

TRADE IS SLUGGISH
IN BOND MARKET
New Issues Small-FIorida
| East Coast IS Under
Further Pressure.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

tcpeoiai Dispatch O. The Star
NEW. YORK, December 12.-There
were not many important changes In
bond prices today. The market was
sluggish. New issues were small.
There was evident. unwillingness on
,u1h& part of many dealers and invest
--nient bankers to increase their COM
mitntents until after the first of the
year. Money ruled easy and should
be renewed at even lower figures be-
Tore the end of the month.
On account of the recent break in
Florida East Coast refunding 5s or

~ 100000. interest was centered TO-
| day on the action OF these oonos.
They were under pressure early. sell
ing off another point, making total
decline from the high of the year 1914
points. They later rallied. There has
been extensive liquidation of these
bonds by institutions owing to the
poor results of the road this year and
the none too good outlook for 1928.
Seaboard Air Line incomes also were
soft.
Erie Issues Active.
The various Erie issues were active
at about previous quotations. How
ever, Genesee River Is sold above
was less doing in high-grade rails
than for some time.
United States Governments opened
higher, but Immediately reacted with
the exception of the first 3ias and the
fourth AZ S.
In the offering of municipal bonds
today were State of New Jersey As at
a price to yield 3.75 per cent; State of
California Is, TO yield $50 per cent:
City Of Syracuse 3Iss, to per cent
bonds on a basis of $50 and $40 per
cent and City of Cleveland So and
AZ per cent issues. to yield between
$40 and 3.S5 per cent. This indicates
the way in which demand for tax
exempt securities this year has pushed
up prices.
International Securities Corporation,
which sold the $10,0O0,000 remaining
OF the $25,000,000 of per cent
debentures authorized last Spring on
q 5.35 basis.
This is the pioneer among invest
ment trusts as we'll as the largest
and one of the most ably administered
OF those now in operation.
Irregularity i'm Industrials.
Among industrial bonds there was
considerable lrregularlty. HUDSON
Coal IS rallied fractionally, Dodge 6s
likewise improved. The metal group
was a trifie easier, and the recent
active convertible bonds quieter.
Brookly- Manhattan Transit IS ad-
vanced to 81 after holding for weeks
in the neighborhood of So. Manhat-
tan Elevator As rallied little. New
York Railway IS were at new low
price There has been another out
break of selling in New York State
Railways AIS, which are quoted very
close to a 10 per cent basis, with AIS
at an even higher yield.
Foreign issues were quiet and with
out significant trend. Peru expects
to follow the example of other South
American republics and European
governments in establishing a state
mortgage bank which will compel a
$50. 900, 900 loan in the American mar
ket.

I'VE have every reason to believe

Steel Strike Looms
In Germany; Bosses
Refuse 8-H0ur Day

ESSEN, Germany, Dec. 7. - A
strike of 100000 German iron and
steel workers doomed today when en-
ployers turned down the unions de-
mand for increased wages and an
eight hour day. Negotiations ended
with strike more likely than ever.
Little is expected to come out of the
action of the mediator of the Ministry
of Labor before whom both sides are
scheduled to appear. The steel manu-
facturers threaten to shut down their
plants January LIST if the union does
not accept their terms.
All of the German steel manufac-
turers in the Reich are ready to sup
port the attempt of the Rhenish steel
producers to keep down union wages,
it is believed.
