NEW YORK, November 16.-Trading
was quiet and price changes mixed on
the Curb Exchange today. Fluctuations
in the more active stocks were small
either way.
The market was slightly higher at
the opening, but turned irregular owing
to a lack of buying orders rather than
to pressure of offerings. Traders were
disinclined to hold commitments over
the week end in view of the confused
monetary situation.

some profit-taking today and activity
in them subsided temporarily. Stand
ard Oil of Indiana was in supply, as

early in the week reached new high
levels for the year, held better than the
others. Gulf OIL Of Pennsylvania was
quiet and a shade easier.

which broke sharply in Fridays session,
showed mixed tendencies today. Lake
Shore Mines was still under pressure,
but Wright-Hargreaves Mining, Hol-
linger Gold and Hudson Bay Mining
were firm. Newmont Mining was steady.
In the silver group, Bunker Hill-Sulli-
van Mining and Gorham Manufactur-
ing eased.
Electric Bond g. Share braced after
its declines of the last few sessions, but
the utilities generally had a heavy ap-
pearance. American Gas & Electric
common and preferred were soft. Co.
lumbia Gas & Electric convertible pre-
ferred. which dropped 4 points Friday,
slipped more today. Alabama Power
81 preferred eased.
The liquor stocks were dull. Hiram
Walker was quiet and steady following
declaration of the regular quarterly
dividend Of IS cents on the preference
stock and the announcement that the
companys new American subsidiary
would involve an investment Of $4,000
900. Distillers. Ltd. and Distillers- Sea
grams scored modest gains
The close was quiet and irregular
The oils became increasingly active
toward the finish, with Humble Oil

THE TEN BEST.
BY FRANCIS ]. POWERS.

~HICAGO, october 2s.-
| Women's golf in the
~ United States reached its
highest tempo during the
last season. The spectacle OF
Miss Virginia Van VIE, the de-
Tending and repeating national
champion, playing the last II
holes of the finals, against Helen
Hicks, in four under even fours
and the last nine in 81 strokes,
furnishes a graphic idea of the
advancement Of women's golf.
Miss Joyce Wethered, the great Brit
ish star who is now in retirement, was
the only other woman player ever to
match the scoring powers Of Miss Van
VIE In q national championship. And
since the English girl no longer partici-
pates in championships, Miss Van VIE
can be styled the worlds greatest wom-
an player without much fear of con-
tradiction. Miss Van Vie further
showed championship qualities by com
ing from behind on the last IL holes
of the match to defeat such splendid
competitor as Miss Hicks. Outside Of
Bob Jones and Mrs. Glenna Collett
Ware, in her years of victory, none have
dominated their particular fields as
completely as Miss Van VIE did this
season.
