CURB LIST GOES
GRADUALLY
UPWARD
BY EDWARD KRICKER

NEW YORK, April 8 Q.N.S).
Hregularly higher levels prevailed
in curb stocks in later morning
trading today.
The list worked gradually higher
with gains confined to small pro-
portions except in q scattering OF
issues. Trading volume was fair
and all sections of the list except
the metals improved.
Further declines in metal prices
kept the mining shares in check
but failed to bring in enough sell
ing to depreSs the list seriously.
Losses of a quarter-point in such
issues as Lake Shore and Hudson
Bay Mining were typical.
The oils worked irTegularly
higher but were also colorleSS, with
the exception of Lion, which
spurted more than a point at the
opening, extended its advance in
good demand later to 2 points at
26h. Root Petroleum improved.
A new high for Brown Company.
preferred, which advanced more
than II points last week and
another 9 points yesterday, was
outstanding in the miscellaneous
shares. The issue climbed 2 more
points to 81.
A heavy buying movement in st.
Regis Paper, which enjoyed a good
advance yesterday, was salient in
the utilities.

PRICE
'UNCERTAIN'

COLLEGE PARK, Md, April 6.
Steadily declining exports Of do
mestic tobacco during the past
several years have made the 1887
tobacco outlook for the State OF
Maryland uncertain this spring,
according to Arthur B. Hamilton,
agricultural economist Of the Uni
versity Of Maryland.
Hamilton yesterday stated the
Maryland crop and price this
year will depend largely upon the
extent to which domestic con-
sumption may increase to COM
pensate for the losses in foreign
trade. Exports which averaged
around IS million pounds annually
in the five-year period after 1924,
averaged only 10 million pounds
from 1929 to 1888 and dropped
to less than four million pounds
in 1885 and 1896.
