special DiSpatch 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, July 25,--Speculation
for the rise was actively carried on in
variety of stocks on the Curb Ex-
change today. Probably the most inn
portant advances were in the public
utilities. The leader here was Elec-
trio Investors which responded to the
earnings statement for the year ended
June 30. United Gas 81 improvement
was strong and American Gas 81 Elec-
trio advanced points.
Among miscellaneous industrials
Adolph Gobel attracted attention by a
rise of nearly S points. A stockhold-
ers' meeting has been called for August
% to authorize splitting up the stock
on a three for one basis. Part of the
gain was lost under realizing in the
later trading.
Bancitaly ran up all the lost points
and then reacted. Bohn Aluminium 81
Brass gained nearly points. Sanitary
Groceries was up points at $40, which
was in addition to l6-point rise on
Tuesday. 1t still was Is points below
its record high. Spanish and General
went through its now famil-
lar performance, making a new high
since listing. Marion Steam Shovel
likewise exceeded it's previous best price.
In the mining group Anglo~Chllean
Nitrate and Noranda we're the leaders.
Newmont was up point at l59. These
stocks were quieter than In other recent
sessions, but realizing was easily alb
sorbed.
Warner Brothers Pictures B reacted
after it's recent violent rise. 1t was
pointed out that the A, which is call
able far below its present price on the
big board Is exchangeable share for
share for the B stock, seemingly making
that the safer speculation.
There was little doing in the oils.
Humble Vacuum and International
Petroleum were somewhat higher, but
the general list was neglected.
