CURB SHARES RISE,
FOLLOWING BREAK
Most Stocks Retrace Losses
Due to BombsheII of Cool
idge Stand.
BY WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dlspdtch TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, August 3.-The formal
announcement of President Coolidge
that he did not choose to run for
President in 1928 threw bombshell
into the Curb Market today. The cam
paign for higher prices, which had
been in progress for several months,
had placed the market in a highly vul
nerable position. Overnight selling or
ders came into the market in enough
volume, with the result that the first
hours trading was the most exciting
in many months.
Prices broke from I to more than 3
points in the industrial favorites, and
in one or two isolated instances AS
much as points, before there was any
semblance of support.
But what was even more significant
than the opening break was the man
ner in which the market rallied after
the initial outburst of selling had run
it's course. The sharp reaction was
what the short interest had been hop
ing for, and it hurried to take advan-
tage of it. The result was an abrupt
reversal of the general trend, and it
was a question whether any great
amount of actual profit had been con
summated on the short side.
Sanitary Groceries opened I'M
changed at 24012 and subsequently
reached 235. The initial loss in Metro
politan Chain Stores amounted to Az
points, after which a good part of it
was retraced. Singer Manufacturing
at one time was selling points below
yesterdays final. The decline in ST.
Regis Paper extended to points.
Johns Manville, after recording a
loss of almost points, regained more
than half the decline. Ford Motors
of Canada dropped points. Good
year, after losing more than points,
recovered practically all of the decline.
United Gas and Improvement dropped
5 points, only to make up the loss
later.
Stocks which had done little in the
recent campaign for higher prices
were not so much affected. This was
particularly true of the oil shares. A
number of the better grade oils were
actually in better demand than they
had been. Standard Oil of Indiana
gained more than points and Humble
Oil almost point. Prairie Pipe, after
losing a point, recovered more than
the decline. Vacuum Oil was an ex-
ception and shared in the weakness.
