TREND IS UPWARD
ON CURB MARKET
Price Range NarroW-Stan-
dard Oil Issues in Good
Demand Today.

Specia Dispatch to The Star.

Specla Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK. October 31.-The main
body of curb stocks moved over mar
row price range at the outset of the
week. with most changes occurring
on the side of advance. Speculative
sentiment was divided as TO the i'm
mediate future tendency of prices
The advance in the call loan renewal
rate to i per cent after funds had re-
manned in abundant supply through
out last week at 3D. was taken as
nothing more than normal develop
mont owing to withdra wal of funds
for end of the month outside require
ments.
The ma ajoritys of so-called Standard
Oil issues had been able to leave off
higher on the week Saturday. Such
stocks as Illinois Pipe Line, Prairie
Oil and Gas, Ohio Oil. international
Petroleum and Standard of Indiana
continued in demand today. This
could not have been set down to any
change in the situation of the OIL IN
1ustry. The demand apparently was
due 10 growing recognition that
liquidation in the oils has been quite
thorough and that any change in the
statistical position of the industry
probably will be for the better There
also was the possibility Of favorable
dividend action by several companies
with large cash surpluses.
Denial OF the report that the North
American co. is planning to make an
offer to minority Washington Railway
& Electric stockholders for acquisi-
ton of their interest in the common
stock failed to inhuent selling of the
latter shares. Speculative Wall Street
has been basing its calculations re-
Gently on the possibility Of n mer-
ger of Washington traction COM
panios.
Speculation for the rise went out of
the market for REQ Motor, for the
time being at least, but the price held
firm above 25. Ford Motor of Canada
at $40 compared with Saturdays final
Of SCI. Swift International continued
in demand above 81. Recent buying
has been attributed to belief that final
1927 earnings will lie favorably
affected by the elimination Of the
South American packers price cut
war.
Kemsley-Millbourn common held
most of its recent gain but did little
more. The new Hershey issue, still
seeking its proper selling level,
fuctuated erratically.

COTTON ADVANCES
ON WEATHER NEWS
Cold Wave Threatening Belt
Has Bu|IiSh Effect on
Prices Today.

NEW YORK. October 31.-The cot
ton market opened firm today at an
advance of 16 to 20 points covering
combined with trade and commission
house buying based on the relatively
steady showing of Liverpool and an
unfavOrable view of weather condi-
tionS or prospects in the South.
Temperatures did not seem as low
as some of Saturdays buyers had eX-
pected. but a cold wave was reported
still threatening. and comparatively
little Southern hedge selling was in
evidence at the start. The advance,
however. attracted realizing, and the
market cased off to 10 points from
the best in early trading.
The early advance extended to o0.55
for December and 20.17 for March.
making net gains of about 25 to 81
points on the active positions. There
appeared to he some realizing at these
figures, which checked the return and
caused reactions of 10 or II points
from the best, and the market later
was quiet but steady. active positions
ruling around IS to 20 points net high
er at midday. A private report was
published placing the crop Indicate
at 1860 600 bales, but appeared to
be without much effect on the market

market today, and other factors were
given comparatively slight notice. In
addition TO fresh reports of some frost
in Argentina. implying damage possi-
bilities there. dispatches were at hand
saying that the premier of New South
Wales, Australia. anticipates a yield
of 100000 bushels in his territory,
compared with $1,000. 900 bushels a
year ago.
Decided strength which developed in
the Liverpool market today did much
TO give the advantage at times to the
buying side Of the market here. II
was pointed out. however, that the
advance shown in closing quotations
at Liverpool was only equal tn Satur-
days upturn in Chicago and took no
account OF todays advance here.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Seasoned" Preferred Stocks.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


In appraising the investment status
of a preferred stock there are a num-
ber Of matters TO take into considera-
tion besides the outlook for the in
dustry represented. That is ifnpor-
tant, Of course, but it IS not CON
elusive.
The industry may he suffering from
depression and the trade outlook may
be unfavora BILE and yet the preferred
stock in question may be 50 seasoned
and 80 we'll protected by earnings
that il is q desirable purchase. ON the
other hand the industry may be al
the height OF prosperity and Yrt the
stock be undesirai,b. because it is not
seasoned. BY this latter term is meant
the paying Of dividends otcr 4 period
Of years, through good times and bad
meeting the test Of adycrsltE.
TO take Il few examples, American
Sugar Refining preferred has paid it's
regular dividend without interruption
since 1891, or more than 50 wears
That is "A seasoned stock and that Is
one reason why the price has held up
so well even when there was doubt
about the sugar trade as a whole.
American Smelling & Refining has
paid the dividend on tEe preferred
since 1900, or more than a quarter Of
a century. This is company also
which has had its ups and downs.
with a particularly bright outlook just
now.
The Atchison has paid the dividend
on it's preferred stock since 1901. or
about as long as Smcjters. Atchison
preferred sells to yield a smaller re-
turn than any Of the others SO far
Amentioned because the railroad busi-
css is relatively more stable.
Tnited states Steel began TO pay
Eridends on it's preferred stock in
y190i, the year OF organization. and has
kept it up without interruption ever
J since
i in these records Of continuous pay
n7ents that give confidence 10 buTers
and explain the relatively high price
al which these stocks sell.
