Oil Stocks Among BuIIish
Features-Sugar Shares
in Better Demand.
BY WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Spec1al Dispatch to Ihe star.
NEW YORK, November 15.-The
upward movement gained momentum
In the Curb Market today, practically
all classes of stock sharing in the
improvement. Because of the absence
of important outside developments. it
was logical to conclude that much of
the demand was coming from 81 short
interest which had become uneasy in
view Of the ability of the market to
move forward for almost two weeks
with only minor interruption.
There was every reason to believe
that the outlook for the oil industry
is better than at any time during the
past year. Oil stocks were among the
features of the rise, numerous issues
esta blishing new highs. But in al
most every instance the demand was
based on prospects of special dividend
action by direCtorates whose COM
panies are in a position to pay out
to share owners part of their huge
cash surpluses. Included among
these were Prairie Pipe Line. Vacuum
Oil, Eureka Pipe, and Standard of
Indiana. National Transit reached its
best for the year and special strength
was noted in Illinois Pipe Line, Prairie
Oil and Gas and Humble Oil.
Latest developments at the Paris
conference working toward the regu-
lation of world sugar output were re.
flected in n better demand for sugar
stocks both here and on the Stock
Exchange. Central Aguirre and F'ajar-
do Sugar We're especially attractive
because of the fact that they benefit
as duty-free producers.
Widely circulated rumors to the ef-
feet that conferences are being held
with a view toward merging a num-
ber of Independent automobile mand-
facturers into one huge combine, to
be built up by w. c. Durant, We're re.
sponsibe for the activity at rising
prices in Durant Motors. While these
reports were not new to speculative
Wall Street, they apparently carried
more weight than heretofore. Stutz
Motor. although not mentioned in the
merger gossip, went along.
New high records for the year were
more numerous than on any day in
the past month, and in several in
stances represented new tops for the
present forms of capitalization. They
included a 16-point rise in TubiZe Arti-
fetal. which carried with it Industrial
Rayon; both classes Of General Baking

Crop Damage Reports From Ar

Chicago Trading.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, November 15.--Fresh
crop damage advices from Argentina
together with word of buying for con-
tinental Europe. led to an early brisk
upturn today in wheat values here.
Hot winds were reported in parts of
Argentina and the crop 10 days late.
Opening at n cent to l as cents higher,
Chicago wheat held near to the initial
range. Corn and oats were also
firmer, corn starting ss cent to ss cent
up and subsequently showing addi-
tiona1 gains. Provisions were easy.
According to dispatches today from
a Chicago crop expert at Rafaela,
Santa Fe Province, Argentina. hot
winds are doing great damage to
wheat. He adds that there has also
been serious frost damage, that rust
is very general, and that yields per
acre will average but 10 bushels. On
the other hand advices today from q
different source said early threshing
returns in North Argentina are salts
factory and that reports of rust
damage are emphatically denied.
Upturns in wheat prices here today
were checked to some extent by
beneficial rains in Buenos Aires Prov.
ince, Argentina. However, it was
stated that in South Argentina rains
are generally needed, and it is feared
the yield will be below average.

BALTIMORE, November 15.-Crops
of corn. hay, white potatoes and to-
bacco for 1927 are reported favorable
in a bulletin just issued by John S.
Dennee, United States agricultural
statistician for Maryland. Mr.. Dennee
also reported poor yields of wheat and
of orchard fruits.
Unexpected acreage yield of corn
raised the total Maryland crop of this
grain to a figure nearly equal to the
1926 yield, although the corn acreage
this year was considerable less than
it was last year. Mr.. Dennee declared
the average corn yield was approx
mately Al bushels an acre, compared
with the yield of 1913 bushels per acre
of 80 bushels per acre. Because of
the heavy yield the Maryland corn
crop for 1927 was estimated at 1856
900 bushels, as compared with the
1926 harvest of 22,049 900 bushels.
The 1927 potato crop, according to
report, will total about 5,490,000 bush
els, compared with last years yield of
$500. 900 bushels. The hay production
for this year was given as 731, 900 tons.
compared with $4,000 tons in 1926.
Although the unexpected yield in
corn raised the total production in
Maryland, only 76 per cent of the crop
is marketable. Mr.. Dennee reported
The 10year average for merchanta-
bility of corn is per cent. The sur
plus stocks of corn left over from last
year also are less than the average.
according to the report. it being esti-
mated that only about SCI 900 bushels
of the 1926 crop are left unconsumed.

NEW YORK, November 15.-The
cotton market opened steady today at
unchanged prices to an advance Of Z
points on buying Influenced by rela-
lively steady Liverpool cables. and re-
ports OF colder weather in the South

The upturn was checked by a con-

which was again largely in the way of
switching to later months. The mar
ket held fairly steady during the first
hour, with fluctuations rather narrow
and Irregular.
Private cables said there had been
Indian buying in Liverpool on the
heavy rains in India. which have been
accompanied by reports of damage to
the crop in that country. But the ad-
vance had encountered hedge selling
and liquidation.
The market was steadier later on

Clythemnestra and Aegisthus, and
warned her against compromising
herself with that branch Of the fam
lily. If you'll believe it, she actually
defended Clythemnestra. I could
guess she had the argument from
Orestes. Though her aunt wasn't
doing right, she said, Agamemnon
hadn't done right, either; he asked
her to send their youngest daughter
Iphigeneia, pretending he had ar
ranged a marriage with Achilles,
and when the delighted mother got
her ready, and safe to Aulis, he killed
the child as sacrifice to the winds,
so the fleet might sail. After that,
Hermione asked, what loyalty did
Clythemnestra owe to Agamemnon.

have broadened. I won't say I like

Paris, I followed to kill them both.
Now here she is home with me

Mcclure BEACH

Water Still Is Impure, Says
Dr.. Morgan.

Unless the board of works installs
more adequate sewage pumps at
Fifty Fourth and Meridian Sts.,
there is possibility that Mcclure
Beach will be closed all summer,
Recreation Director Jesse j. Nc
Clure said today.
DR.. Herman @. Morgan, who or
dered the beach closed because of
contaminated water, told the park
board Thursday that the water is
still impure. The pumps we're
started several days ago, but are
inadequate to carry the north side
sewage into the regular channel, al
lowing part to flow into the stream
above the beach.
COLONIZATION has failed to entirely
clear up the condition, Morgan
said. He will not authorize use of
the beach until tests show there is
no pollution.
Board of Works President Virgil
Vandagrifft promised Mcclure the
board would do everything in its
power" to increase capacity of sew
age pumps at Fifty-Fourth and Me-
ridian Sts., so seepage into White
River would be stopped. Mcclure
bathing beach can not be re-opened
until the contamination is removed.
Vandagrifft said the board would
hasten action for the sake of chill

GRILL FIREbUC
ABOUT RECORD
De La Tour Denies Connec-
ton With Marscen Ring.

Detectives John White and
Charles Sumner grilled Maurice De
La Tour, confessed fire bug, for
several hours today in an effort to
bring an admission that he was a
member of an organized incendiary
ring, that has set fire to thousands
of churches in this country and
Canada, during the past twenty
seven years.
De La Tour, denied he was as
ISOLATED with Ray Marsden, Al, OF
Flint, Mich, arrested recently at
Sandusky, Ohio, on a charge OF
looting the Our Lady Of Consolation
shrine at Carey, Ohio. Marsden is
said to have admitted the gang
burned and robbed churches in
every State in the Union, probably
1000 in number, and took loot
valued at 100000.
De La Tour seemed more in
terested in the habitual criminal
charge he is to face, according to
Chief Worley. He pleaded that they
try him only on the charge firing
st. Patrick's, Our Lady of the
Lourdes and st. Joan of Arc
Churches. Records show he has
served other sentences for arson
and Worley plans to ask the life
sentence under the habitual
criminal act.
De La Tour told White and Sum-
ner that the story from Georgia
prison that he was seeking
vengeance on the Catholic church
because his sister is nun and his
brother studied to be a priest is
false. He spoke only OF deao
wife, and insisted he has no living
relatives.
