CAPT. DOLLAR PASSES AWAY
 EARLY TODAY
Shipping M a gnate, Who Began Career by Launch-
 ing Washtub, Is DeadE

SAN RAFAEL, Cal, May 16.-- Capt. Robert Dollar died at 1.1( o'clock this morning at his homo here. He became i'll with cold two weeks ago and this developed bronchial pneumonia.
 Mrs Dollar, his three sons, liar old, Stanley and Melville, and their wives and children, were present when Capt. Dollar pass ed on.
 Capt. Robert Dollar began his nautical career when he was six years old by launching washtuE on the Forth and Clyde Canal in Scotland.
 Little did he suspect when he was soundly thrashed by his fath- CT for the episode, that he was then destined to become one of the largest individual ship owners in the world.
 His actual debut in the shipping business did not come until half a century later when Dollar had ar rived at an age when many suc- cessful men retire from active life, yet he gained world wide recogni- tion and virtual monopoly of the American trade on the Pacific Ocean during the years that round ed out the span of three score and ten.
 In Lumber Industry
 Before the organization of the Dollar Steamship Company, he hsf conducted highly successful lumber ing and milling operations in Can ada, the United States and China
 Capt. Dollar, who became known as the Grand Old Man of the Pa cific," because of his activities in fostering commercial relations with China and the Far East in gen. eral, commented as he saw his shipping business grow beyond all expectations, that q often think it is expanding too fast, but the curtailment of it presents quite a problem as the business appears to demand expansion"
 Buys First Ship
 Capt. Dollar purchased his first ship, "Newsboy," a small tub of 300 tons, as an adjunct to his numbering operations in California, and made his first venture in the China trade with the Arab" a 6,500-ton steamer, in 1901. By 1921 the Dollar Steamship Company had an imposing fleet and nineteen offices in various parts of the world, including Japan, China, the Philippines, Straits Settlements, h. dia, Russia and Greece.
 Ten years later he directed the building of the 22-knot, electrically driven liners, President Coolidge and President Hoover, each 653 feet long with accommodations for 1,20O passengers and crew of 300. The Newsbody made ' or 8 knots in good weather, was 129 feet long, had a crew of Il and carried no passengers.
 In addition to controlling coast wise ocean travel along the Pacific States, his steamships were the only American passenger vessels running to the Orient. He also had an important interest in pas senger and freight steamship lines to Alaska. He was President of the Dollar Steamship Company, Robert Dollar Company, Admiral Oriental Company, Dollar Portland Lumber Company, Canadian Robert Dollar Company, and Director of the American International Cor poration, Anglo London and Paris Bank, and San Francisco Savings Bank
 Recipient of Honors

NEW YORK, June l4.-Although it
reacted slightly toward the close, to-
days stock market had distinct up-
ward trend and made new friends for
Itself Volume was low and there were
number of unfavorable dividend de-
Veiopments, but the market was not
disturbed.
Inc utilities made the best showing
all DAY. An interesting incident was
the strength in Standard Gas g. Elec-
trlc common and preferred, which fol-
lowed the announcement that the divi-
oeno on the common had been estab-
nShed on an annual So rate instead Of
$500 previously paid In other words.
the reduction had been overdiscounted
by the market.
western Union omitted its dividend
and the stock declined only fraction
ally. In other words, the market gave
evidence OF being more responsive to
good than to bad news, which was a
welcome change.
The market was encouraged at the
start by the recovery of the dollar
Practically all OF the foreign exchanges
were down and some of them made new
lows on this reaction. Covering in of
contracts for the decline by European
spectators was in turn cue to the
growing conviction that the bonus bill
would never become law, regardless of
It's fate in the House. Yesterdays vote
was taken to mean that the measure
could not be passed over the inevitable
presidential veto. United States Gov
eminent bonds were strong on this
theory and stocks moved ahead SYM
pathetically.
In the second place the Auburn Incl
ant hnx
conservatives, did carry lesson, which
was not lost on the short interest.
Few stocks are in position to be ma
nipulated as easily as Auburn, but
nevertheless the spectacle of demo-al-
lied bear party in one stock suggested
the possibility of unpleasant happen
lngs elsewhere. So. covering went on
in Eastman Kodak. International Har-
vester, American Telephone and other
stocks that have been heavily sold at
one time or another.
Buying Of the alcohol stocks was
plainly speculation based on the pros
pect of the adoption Of wet planks by
both parties in Chicago. National distil-
lerS products was the chief beneficiary,
but U. S. Industrial Alcohol, CONNER
cial and Owens-Illinois glass we're in
demand. For the first time in a long
while one or two sugar stocks showed
signs of life. including American Sugar
Refining and South Porto Rico This
was in response to yesterdays advance
in sugar futures. South Porto Rico is
in a position to benefit more than any
other producer by any turn in the COM
modify. Dividends are not now being
paid on the common stock
One weak spot was r. H. Macy,
whose directors meet for dividend action
tomorrow. The stock was heavily Of
fered in the first hour and the stock
made a new low for the bear market
Auburn Auto put on one of its usual
performances, although not quite as
daring as its recent exhibition. Open
ing nearly 3 points higher, it nose
dived over 6 points and then came back
partially.

small gain in favor of the United

The net gain was of negligible pro-

IN the foreign exchange markets, and
while some difference Of opinion was
evident, many bankers were again of
the opinion that the outflow was draw

An export of s6001 400 to Switzer-
land was announced, but of this
amount 100000 was taken from gold
already under earmark for export, and
not counted In American stocks. There
was an import Of $500 from Mexico.
The lull in exports may have been
partly due to lack of desirable steam
ship sailings, but the outflow had been
abating during the past few days.
