changes in the Curb Market at the
start of the week again occurred on
the side of advance. The manner in
which the main body Of stocks indi-
Gated that the speculative element had
been favorably influenced by the out
side news development.
Among high-priced issues TubiZe
Artificial Silk was a feature. going
into new high ground following re-
ports that the business of the COM
pany is running at it's highest rate
on record. American Rayon Prod
ucts, however. felt the effect of profit
taking in the recent improvements.
Both common and preferred stocks
of American Road Machinery went to
their highest for 1927 with the pre-
ferred up another PA points on top of
the 15-point rise last week.
Operations for the rise in Cuneo
Press carried the price to it's highest,
above SO. These apparently were based
upon new business expected to come
to the company as the result of the
recent formation of new publish
ing company.

Electric Refrigeration 6s again lacked
support and dropped to within a point
of the low record. AT the same time
offerings of Servel common stock car
ried the price to record low, while
the bonds of the same company
equalled their previous low of 401s.
Public utilities felt the effect of
profit-taking, but received good sup
port. New England Power new was
an exception, advancing almost 4
points. Among the motors Ford Mo-
tor of Canada was fairly active around
500, and Stutz gained fractionally.
Goodyear Tire common rose almost 2
points higher before realizing sales
were encountered.
The oils did little save for the is
sues where special developments were
pending. Humble crossed So again
for a gain of more than point. and
Vacuum was similarly higher. South
American issues were active around
previous prevailing prices, notably
Carib and Creole. Arkansas Natural
Gas went forward to a new high for
1927, and Leonard Oil come in for

cation OF the June sales figures, which

Few Agreements Concluded.

The union leaders in the various To-
calities have been given permission to
come to agreements with their indi-
vidual employers, but since the mine
workers struck firmly for the scale
provided by the Jacksonville agree
ment, which entails a basic pay of
$3.50 a dav end the operators have
been equally firm in declaring they
could not operate on such q scale,
only a few agreements have been con
cluded.
Two Of the largest coal companies
in PENNSYLVANIA have been operating
for over three months on a nOn-uniOn
basis, but they have done so only
under heavy guard. The officials Of
the mine workers declared today their
men were as firm in their stand in
Ohio and Pennsylvania as the day the
old contract expired.
The business men in other lines have
been the ones to suffer so far in the
controversy in the districts involved
They have seen the buying power on
either side diminished and both opera
tors and miners have asked credit in
some cases instead of paying cash,
Consumers of coal have suffered lit
tie Inconvenience. The stocks of fuel
at the beginning of the strike were
tremendous. They have been but lit
tie drawn upon, for the non-union
mines, enemies of both the warning
factions, have been producing at

100000 tons which the country uses.
