CURB SHARES OFF
IN DRAGGY TRADING
Utilities and Oils Feel Effects
of Profit aking-LoSSes
Light.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 29.-Prof1t- taking,
which started with the opening gong,
caused prices on the Curb Exchange
to turn downward today. Public utili-
ties and petroleums, two of the most
active groups last week, were first to
feel the effects of realizing operations
today.
Electric Bond & Share eased more
than a point by midday. Cities Serv-
ice was off fractionaliy as were Stand
ard Oil of Indiana, Vacuum OIL and
Plymouth Oil. American Gas 81 Elec-
trio, American Light & Traction.
United Light g. Power A and American
Superpower first softened in the utility
division.
A few inactive issues early stood cut
because of their unusual movements.
Safety Car Heating g. Lighting, which
has not appeared in some time, opened
off Is points. Singer Manufacturing
was up about 9 points. Pepperell
Manufacturing. which recently reduced
its dividend from So to $6 year, was
unusually active and at times slightly
higher.
Socony-Vacuum when-issued stock
made it's bow on the Curb Exchange
at l8 today, or at the then approx
mate price of Standard Oil OF New
York
Suspension of trading in General
Petroleum Corporation when issued
stock unofficially announced Saturday,
was made effective today with the ad-
mission to trading of Socony-Vacuum
Corporation, the new name of the
merged concern. The Curb Clearing
House Committee therefore directed
that all clearing house balance orders
dated June |. last. be cancelled and
members having such debit balances
will receive checks for them on Tues
day.
Comparative dizziness and easiness
Of the international issues, unlike any
session last week, was a feature of
forenoon trading.
Low priced coppers, such as United
Verde. up 1i2, were an outstanding
strong spot.

EXPORT COPPER PRICE
RAISED TO 9.275 CENTS
Rvtha Assnciated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 29-An increase
of a quarter of cent in the price OF
export copper today brought the quota
European base ports, and marked the
fourth increase of a quarter of cent
in the foreign price IN week
Meanwhile Wall Street reports SAID
that agreement finally has been reached
whereby American production OF cop
per will be further curtailed, with the
possibility that the movement may take
on international proportions.
The reduction is expected to take the
form of cessation Of operations at some
mines and drastic reduction in the rate
of operations at others, in line with
moves recently made by some OF the
higher-cost producing units in the West
Indications that the proposal may
extend TO a further curtailment of for
eign production, especially in South
Africa, were seen in the report that
Camille Quit one of the managing di-
rectors of the Union Miniere du Haul
Katanga. had co-operated in the new
plan. M Quit and NJ. Fernand PiSart
recently visited the United States on
what at the time was stated their reg
ular Semi-annual trip. At that time
there were reports of conferences be-
tween the large American producers,
African producers and bankers, and,
despite the lack of official confirmation,
several mines were closed Immediately
after the close of the conferences.
Export demand for copper has con-
tinued in heavy volume as a result of
the improved European outlook follow
ing President Hoover's debt holiday pro-
posal. Sales for export on a few occa-
sions have exceeded 100000 pounds
daily.
An advance of quarter of a cent a
pound in the price of bare copper wire
to 1924 cents in carload lots was an
nounced today by General Gable Cor
pOration.

DIVIDEND POLICIES.

NEW YORK, June 20 Especially -
Taking their Gus from the regular dec
larations last week by Westinghouse
Northern Pacific and Baltimore g. Ohio,
and the intimation of the president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad that
larger cut in the rate might have been
considered II the international situa-
ton had not changed, directors of
other corporations that have been d.
vided on their next dividend payment
are disposed to take a more generous
attitude, believing that earnings are at
their lowest and that there will be a
turn for the better in the second half
of the year. Last week there were
nearly 40 dividends reduced and about
so omitted There are no more i'm
portant dividend meetings scheduled
until those Of the iron and steel COM
panies in the latter part of July.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-06-29

little improvement can be looked for
until the fall seasonal expansion.
With the exception of few COM
panies introducing new lines, automo-
bile production again declined. The
major portion of the reduction was re-
ported by Ford, whose output receded
about 1871 per cent, while the indus
try as whole was off 68 per cent.
Steel operations continued on their
downward path, ingot production drop
ping to 35 per cent of capacity, a de-
cline of about 3 per cent from the pre-
vious week and per cent below two
weeks ago, No immediate relief Is in
view, but 1t is expected that the debt
holiday may hasten and accentuate the
Autumn improvement.
The daily average Of crude oil pro-
duction rose 1920 barrels, and al
though almost all districts showed a
decrease, East Texas produced 42,350
barrels more than the previous week,
too great q sum for the others to abb
serb. Gasoline stocks declined 33 per
cent to the lowest reserve since jan
uary of this year.
Although actual electric production
was lower than last week. the decline
was slightly less than is usual at this
season, the total being off as, with the
central industrial area registering the
greatest reduction.

The main requirements for such
a position seem to be personality,
air-worthiness, and a wholesome
genial quality that makes a girl a
natural hostess. Appearances an
no guide at all. yet no line takes
any girl who is not young and
good looking. But Just looks alone
do not suffice. Quality Is demand
ed, because a hostess on an air line
must be the high class type of
person who just naturally inspires
confidence.
There probably never will be
many air maids in America. But
the fact that this new line Of air
plane work utilizes women opens
up the possibility that other ways
may develop in which big air COM
panies al eventually hire more
women.
