NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Strength

Oils Advance
Bulls in the oil stocks were con-
fident of a steady improvement in
the industry, looking particularly to
1929 as the most prosperous year
for the refiners and marketers of
petroleum products since 1925. At
lantic Refining continued its spec.
tacular advance to 1941a, up five
points for the day and nearly 100
from the low of the year. The
low-priced Standard oils moved up
fractionally in active trading.
The copper stocks had the bene-
fit of an excellent market for ISM
cents copper metal, with most of
the producers predicting a 15h
cents market by the middle of Oc-
tober. Anaconda moved forward
about 3 points to new high above

Independent steels were inactive and
steady.
Trading Lays
A few Of the public utility shares
were in good form, but on the whole
the market was duh in the fore
noon with little traces of the sensa-
tional movements which character
lied last weeks activities. Commod-
ity markets were steady, with cot

CITIZENS SPLIT.
At HEIGHTS

Tactics claimed by some to
border on the knock-down-and-drag-
out classification have eliminated
in an open split in the membership
of the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association.
Harry c. Phillips, advertising man
named as temporary secretary of a
new organization being formed by
the boilers, declared today that the
rupture was brought about because
]. Clinton Hiatt. president of the
parent body, had brought into the
association persons who were in
eligible for membership and given
them fictitious addresses.
Claims Office Vacated
The direct result was the expul-
sion of seven without proper Gre
dentials at melting in June,
Phillips said. He added that dur
ing the same month Hiatt refused
to resign so the members voted to
declare his office vacant.
Phillips said that in July, month
when meetings had not been held in
the past because of vacation. t.
gathering packed" with HATS
friends voted to expunge from the
records the action demotin3 Hiatt.
Phillips said that while some so per-
sons generally attended the associa-
tior's sessions, only about half that
number were present when Hiatt was
reinstated.
Plan Meeting Soon
Phillips said the boilers had the
best interests of their community at
heart and wanted to be free to work
for Columbia Heights in more digni-
fled fashion. He said that If con-
rtitution could be drafted in time and
use of the Wilson Normal School OBJ

body would be held October 3

FIGURES
MISLEADING
To PUBLIC
By MERRYLE STANLEY
RUKEYSER

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-WaH
Street is following an imperfect
barometer in the weekly brokers'
loan statistics released by the Fed
Wral Reserve board.
The published figures do not
necessarily accurately reflect the
ebb and flow of the use of credit
for speculation and investment.
In spite Of increases in brokers'
loans figures in recent weeks, the
latest published total is still below
that of June s, the peak for all
time, although the average price of
Industrial stocks has in the recent
speculation scared above the June
total.
Out of Capital
The stock exchange announced
late last week that the ratio of
exchange member borrowings to
listed share values declined from,
per cent on August / to S.S per
cent on September /. If these
figures were entirely barometric,
! they would indicate that the rise
in the stock market has been
financed to an increasing extent
out of savings, or capital, rather
than on borrowed credit.
Where is the ethiopian in the
woodpile? 1t lies in the fact
that operators in the security
markets. faced by abnormally
high interest rates, have to
some extent changed their prac-
tees in recent months. To an
increasing extent, spe Il ators
have taken stocks out of brok.
erage offices and financed their
purchases by direct borrowing
at their own banks on collateral
loan bases. The banks have in
most cases given their own
customers a better rate, than
that quoted at the money desk on
the New York Stock Exchange.
! Moreover, by the switch, such
operators have saved the profit
which brokers add for themselves
to the charge levied by lending.
To Own Customers
The Federal Reserve Board
takes congnizance of these chang
Ing shifts in the money market,
pointing out in the current bulle-
tin: THAT a part of the decline In
own loans to brokers by New York
banks represented a transfer OF
loans placed through brokers to
loans by security holders directly
is indicated by the fact that while
brokers loans by New York
banks declined by $503,O00. 900 Goe-
tween May 16 and August 22l,
the decline in their total security
loans was much smaller. Under
the influence of high money rates
and closer scrutiny of brokers'
loans, New York City banks
have withdrawn a part of their
accommodation to brokers. and
have granted additional loans on
securities directly to their custo-
mers."
