Four major factors indicating the sea-

special DlspatCh TO Inc SJar.
NEW YORK, June 2l.-A larger
volume was combined with an irregular
price movement on the Curb Exchange
today. Interest still centered in the
utilities, which, however. had to absorb
heavy realizing that in many cases
brought about recessions.
Next to the utilities. the feature was
the trading in the stock of the new food
combination. arbitrarily designed as
"Fleischmann Royal" This is the
$43o,000, 600 merger of Fleischmann,
Royal Baking Powder and the E. w.
Gillett Co. Others are expected to be
brought in subsequently.
Large Turnover.
The first trading was in the over
tf1e-counter market, with quotation
of 3334 bid, 34l4 asked. On the Pro-
duce Exchange the stock opened at
34la. The first transaction ON the
curb was made shortly after noon,
when $500 shares were sold at 35is.
There was a large turnover in Niagara
Hudson Power at slightly lower prices,
and the stocks of the constituent COM
panies were heavy. Buffalo, Niagara
e. Eastern sold down to 90 in contrast
with, its recent high of 112.
Electric Bond e. Share. which made
its top yesterday, SOLO on tooay, Out
Electric Investors, affiliated with Elec-
trio Bond & Share. rose points to
new top Another strong light and
power stock was Central States Electric,
in demand because of its holdings in
other utilities, notably North American.
Selling above 1879. it was at a new peak
also. United Gas Improvement was
active, but not Importantly changed.
Application has been made to list the
issue on the Stock Exchange. Long
Island Lighting sold above 80 for the
first time.
Croker Wheeler Gains.
An interesting incident was the rise
in Croker Wheeler of points on top
of a 20-point gain the day before. This
stock is very closely held and the float
ing supply is so small that any increase
in demands results in sharp advances
There have been rumors that General
Electric was interested in the property,
but they have never been confirmed.
Strong specialties included Trans
America and Walgreen.
Oils were heavy, an exception being
the low priced Derby Oil & Refining.
st. Regis Paper sold off somewhat, but
Babcock e. wilcox was strong.

growers look very bright in many Sec
tions.
Railroad Earnings.
Railroad earnings are such that the
carriers are greatly heartened. The
volume of freight traffic is undimin-
ished, while the gain in passenger bust
ness has been most acceptable. The
tourist season is on in earnest and
promises to be more profitable for the
retailers of the country than ever be-
fore. 1t is estimated that Automobile
tourist parties yield q volume of retail
trade of at least $40 each per day to
the country through which they pass.
Volume of Summer clothing sold
compares most favorably with last year
Radio sales have not encountered the
slump usual at this time of year and
monograph instruments and records
are moving briskly.
