Pre-Hohday Decline In Market During Early Hours Followed By
 Turn to Upward Trend Later On
Farm Implement and Mer- chandising Shares Lead Recovery - Copper and Rails Hard Pressed Dur ing Opening Call Money Drops.

New York, April r Cps-Curious cross currents of prices ran through today's stock market in reflection of the usual holiday readjustment Of speculative accounts. The market presented reactionary appearance during the morning when selling pressure was renewed against the rail and copper shares, but the gen. eral trend turned upward in the afternoon with the farm implement and merchandising shares in the forefront of the advance.
 Trading was only moderate Tn vol umn, due to the disinclination of many traders to add to their com mitments over the three day stock exchange holiday.
 Call Money Drops
 Call money renewed at 4 per cent with the supply so plentiful and the demand so moderate that the rate was dropped to 3 l-2 per cent. Out-of-town banks were re- ported to have transferred funds here for temporary employment over the Easter holiday.
 Renewed weakness of the copper shares was based on rumors that 8 further cut in the price of the red was likely, although these lacked official confirmation. Granby, Cerro De Pasco, Calumet & Arizona, U. $. Smelling preferred and Inspiration all dropped to new low levels for the year, Anaconda sagged about :: | points.
 Selling of the rails was influenced | by the poor traffic and earnings statements now being published, and the conservative forecasts of some of the railway executives as to summer prospects.

CURTAILMENT IN OIL

Demand for Fuel Shows Decrease
Gasoline Stocks at 1929
Level.

TULSA. Okla. July 26.-Resppear-
ance of more normal conditions is OBJ
servsble in the tone Of the all markets
of the mid-continent field as a result
of curtailment in various departments
OF the industry. Although appearing
somewhat later than had been desired,
nevertheless oil men seem to be satisfied
in view of the fact that oil prices with
in the last 10 days have turned up
ward.
Although the initial curtailment in
refinery operations began with the first
week in July, the improvement was
rU4arded by the holdings of oil products
scattered in a large number OF small
areas. 1t was necessary to absorb these
N order to re-establiSh q f1rm tounoa-
ton in the market.
AS the larger companies continue 10
purchase the business of smaller mar.
keting companies and that of individual
operators of filling stations, the amount
OF spot business in the refined oil mar
ket continues to decrease steadily. The
announcement of the acquisition OF a
large number of stations by the Barns
call Co. is looked upon as a more COM
plete indignation by this company as a
result Of its undertaking jointly with
the Continental Oil Co. the construction
of pipe line to many States north
ward for the transportation OF gasoline.
The demand for fuel oil also Is
steadily decreasing, as additional in
duStrial plants throughout the Middle
West are shutting down completely
However. prices are holding fairly well.
Gasoline stocks in this field are now
at the level of this time last year.

Detroit River waters in the past have

Most of the good liquor that entered the

with miles of river to guard would
make thrust at one group of runners
when another would shoot through at
another point. In the Winter ice boats
would be used and the Smugglers even
developed an underwater traction sys-

all is out now.
