STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN DRAGGY MARKET
Oil Shares Continue to At
tract Buyers on Better
Trade Prospect.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Special Dispatch to The Star

NEW YORK, August 19.-In only one
group was there any significant move
ment in the stock market today and
that was in the oils, Petroleum shares
were strong. with the leaders at new
highs on the rally Otherwise, the list
fluctuated through narrow range and
left of without important change.
The last hour saw a new year high
for Safeway Stores and a rather sharp
advance in United States Industrial
Alcohol. but these we're exceptions.
American Telephone q Telegraph made
languid response TO the declaration of
the regular dividend. Rails sold of at
times, but were never weak
Commodity markets were depressed,
with cotton and corn at new lows
Just before 3 O'Clock it was an
nounced that Shell Union Oil had
omitted the dividend on its convertible
preferred stock.
The feature of the first half of the
session was the demand for the oils,
particularly the lower-priced issues. It
was still based on the benefits supposed
to accrue from the cut down Of pro-
duction in Texas and Oklahoma. For
the week ending August is the daily
average output Of crude oil for the
whole country dropped $1,000 barrels
from the preceding week. Estimates OF
the reduction resulting from the shut
down of wells ordered by the Governors
of Texas and Oklahoma run as high as
900 900 barrels Meanwhile, there has
been a hardening of prices, both for
gasoline and crude.
New highs on the move were made by
Standard Oil of New Jersey and Stand
ard of California. Texas Corporation ran
up over a point, partly, however, be-
caiisa Of the declaration of the regular
dividend the day before. Ohio Oil,
Union OIL of California and Socony-
Vacuum were strong, the latter at the
best since listing.
The selling in the general list it was
believed, represented the liquidation of
certain special accounts rather than any
feeling that the business situation was
becoming worse. This was said to be
the case with General Motors. which
was under pressure today. IS it had
been on Tuesday u. S. Steel sold off
similarly, although the weekly steel re-
views were not pessimistic. The Iron
Age spoke OF a slight gain in demand
mainly as a result of specifications
from the automobile industry" 1t fixed
the average rate Of operation at 80 per
cent, against so per cent week ago.
Railroad stocks were heavy, although
there was no large volume. The car
loading report. showing a greater than
seasonal decrease, was disappointing
So were some of the loading statistics
given out by Individual roads. as for
instance the New York Central, which
reported a falling off Of 1913 per cent
for the week ending August IS, COM
pared with the same week q year ago.
The drop was 1872 per cent IN the pre-
ceding seven-day period.
