MONDAY; JULY 17, 1922 DOMESTIC OILS HEAVY; RAILS, igas Specialties Lost, from lto3 Points.—Today’s ‘ Market Stegnant Equipments, steels and rails were firm to strong in today’s stagnant stock market. Various specialties lost ¥ to 3 points under pressure. Sales approximated 475,000 shares. Coco Cola, Harvester and Westing- house were added to the strong stocks ofthe later period, but domestic oils and miscellaneous shares developed heaviness. The closing was irregular. i ‘At 10:30 Recessions running from frastions to oné point marked the opening of today’s-session of the stock exchange. Developments over the week-end, es- pecially 4n their relation to the coal and railroad strike seemed to en- courage further selling pressure from’ professional interests. Logses among transportatios were nominal for the most part, however, but equipments, the strongest features in last Satur- day’s market were heavy under pro- fit taking. Oils continued to reflect changing conditions in that industry, Mexican petroleum and several of the domestic group losing from one half to one and one-half points, Moderate strength was shown by, United States St el gereral of the coppers, indus- trial aféohol and Western: Union Tele- graph. b At Noon, Some of the early selling originated from interior sources but commission houses reported little outside inter- est. Oils continued to be offered on the further cuts in crude products at eastern and, southwestern centers. Gains of 1 to 2 points were made by some of the steels and equipments however, Crucible,*Lackawanna, Gulf States, General Electric, Pressed Steel Car and Railway Steel Spring being in further demand. Rails were more irregular, Baltimorgy and Ohio and Great Northern easing, while Cana- dian Pacifie and other trans-conti- nentals were steady to firm. Sumatra tobacco was heaviest of the special dispatch, falling 2% points. Call money opened at 3 per cent. At 8:30 Mexican petroleum was the feature of the midsession, rising 5 points from its morning low. American Can, Studebaker, Baldwin and American Locomotive and Sears Roebuck reg- —~istered gains of one to two and a half 6 points. Union Pacific, Atchison and i Rock Island strengthened with - a ‘ further gain for Canadian ‘Pacific. a efit ih: New York Stock List ¢ 1,‘ anied chemical & D A i ye Ex.

Nielson who represented North Dakota on the program. For the first time in t! nistery of the. association. meetings, according to Miss Nielson,a day wa’ given over to the problems of rural education, It was a day of especial interest to the state superintendents, most of whom have had problems in rural schools which ,caused them anxious moments... Not only was the ques- tion of rural schools on the program but the superintendents in their meetings with each other discussed many of the problems and asked questions of the others as to their methods of dedling with the differ- ent features of the rural school problem.
