Shares Are Prominent
in Rising Market.
BY WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 20.-New high
records were established in practically
every quarter of the curb market list
today. The demonstration on the buy
ing side was as spectacular as at any
time during the prolonged campaign for
the rise. At intervals the tape fell more
than 20 minutes behind transactions on
the floor.
High-grade Standard Oil shares were
SINGLED out as favorites from time TO
time. Excitement and confusion pre-
vailed at the Standard of Indiana post
where buying orders were coming IN IN
viously at 977s the price opened on
block of $500 shares at 9812 and sub
seouently went to its highest Of SO. The
situation in Gulf Oil was similar, the
price jumping 10 points to 165, new
peak, before the demand was SatlSfled.
American Maracaibo was prominent
among the low priced independents and

of renewal of the Barco concessions.
Other oils that stood out strongly IN
cluded Vacuum at its best. Humble up
more than 3 points, Illinois Pipe Line
and Ohio Oil.
The demand for Marmon and Stutz
was more urgent than at any time
during the past month. The former
shot forward points and the latter
more than points. both to new peaks.
Their gyrations led to talk of possible
technical corners.
Newmont Mining was the spectacular
performer of the mining issues. rising
over 10 points to a new peak, still re-
fiecting the price appreciation in the
shares of other mining companies held

upward several points on an enormous
turnover.
High priced specialties were featured
by Jump of so points in Beere COM
mon. Outside of its technical market
position there was nothing that could
have accounted for such sensational
rise. The announcement of the pro-
posed 4-for-1 split-up of the present
General Fireproofing stock came as no
surprise and appeared to have been dis
counted.
Specialties which were among the
favorites and reached new record prices

PLANT BANNED BY LAW
WINS FAVOR AS PASTURE
Iiany Oklahoma Counties Devote
Arabic Land to Growing
Johnson Grass.

ARDMORE, Okla. (P).-Thanks to the
boil wccyil, Johnson grass now IS con-
sidered the farmers friend instead OF
foe.
Since land in Southern Oklahoma has
bacome infested with the insect that
destroys cotton, farmers disregarded
law which provides penalty for letting
johnson grass go to seed, and the ldle
cotton fields were matted with the grass.
Then it was discovered live stock would
thrive on the plant that was considered
a pest when it had to be hoed out OF
the Gotten fielcs.
Tests made by E. T. zigler in Ste
phens County demonstrated that an
scre of Johnson grass pasture would
fatten two beeves. and make hay almost
as good as alfalfa for dairy cattle.
johnson grass resembles Sudan grass,
growing as high as mans waist.
Half the arabic land in many coun les
o. Southern Oklahoma is devoted to the
plant. and some farmers even buy its
seed to SOW in weevil-infested fields,
and plan to raise cattle instead of cot
ton as their major crop.
Meanwhile the law branding Johnson
grass as noXious weed remains in the
statute book.
