BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, June 2s.--Higher money
rates once more failed to have It's re-
Election in the movement of prices on
the Curb Exchange today. The rate on
call loan renewals was advanced to 712
per cent, the highest since June J.
1921, but the prospect for easier money
after the turn of the second half year
offset whatever fears prevailed over the
current credit situation.
Whether the much talked-of return
of July interest and dividend dis
bursements Is to be the factor market
wise that many believe, however, re-
mains to be seen.
SpecialtieS Are Strong.
The market was featured by pro-
nounced strength in shares OF high
priced speciatieS. Sanitary Grocery
and Safeway Stores were among the
leaders, the latter up II points at one
time to SIT and the former Z points
higher to 314l2. Recapitali2atlon pros,

Increased earnings was the basis LOT
the buying which carried Checker Cap

following resumption of dividends by

American Rolling Mills shot forward
s points over night despite the fact
that 1t was selling eX the 50-cent dlVl-
dend. That the demand represented
nothing more than the running IN OF
a short interest in a stock with limited
floating supply was indicated by the
subsequent decline.
The recent demand for Evans Co.
class B, which has carried the price
,lp from the low for the year of 81
to around 87l5 appeared to be justified
bv the action of directors in voting TO
declare either a 100 per cent stock

The demand for General Mills COM

less prominent in the rise. Galena

The article to which the Mexican
consul took exception was published
in May, and stated that the Mexican

Saldivar had issued several checks
for small amounts which were refused
immediate payment at the bank. but

tation.
