SUNDAY, AUGUST 16, 1925 be Casper Sunday Cridune DAILY OIL SHARE PRESSURE IN MARKET IS EASED Tron, a rOii General of All Stocks Is Upward in Closing Session of Week; Many Gains Scored in Period. NEW YORK, Aug. 15.—Easing up of the pressure exerted against oil issues and advances in the price of favored industria marked the course of trading during today’s briet session of the exchange. Sales for the day amounted to some 500,000 shares and the closing, while show- ing some irregularity, was relatively strong. Irregular price trends were com- mon throughout the week, due to the mixed character of market fac- tors. Favorable news included heavy freight loadings for the last week of July, foreign trade developments interpreted as bullish, new high prices for copper, lowering of call money rates, increase in the feder- al reserve ratios, and announcement of a security pact between England and France. Bearish activities were inspired by price reductions in automobiles, fall- ing off in gasoline prices and in- crease in crude ofl pipeline runs. Olls were hammered persistently by bear traders and extensive liquida- tion developed, but the week closed with many {ssues reacting to low levels reached earlier in the week. Rails for the most part superseded industrial tssues as leaders in the advance, The highest level in eight years for all railroad stocks was marked up by steady advance in the low-priced issues, The general indus- trial average was also forced up by the trend toward inve nt issues In this line. Steel shares continued firm in the face of a decrease in unfilled orders of the United States Steel corpora- tion. Expanding mill operations in many centers tended to prevent a slump.

As our currency is based on gold—that 4s, for every $10 or thereabouts in gold there may be issued $100 in bills—this has made possible the issance of a large amount of paper money tn. this country, Of course, our paper money {s not like that is- sued in Europe, which has: almost no gold behind it; but we have not gold to the full value of our outstand- ing bills. This means that the out- standing paper maney in this coun. try Increases at an even more rapid rate than gold increases, and so our circulation may roll up like a snow- ball as our supply of gold grows. with wage cuts and some unemploy ment. Investors who have capital in such Amerfean companies should carefully consider the situation and watch its developments. Workmen employed in such industries should also realize that their positions and wages are not so secuYe as in some concern. which at the moment may pay less, but which can hold {ts own against foreign competition, Present Business Conditions “General business is slightly proving.

This is caused by a decline in exports, and an increase in imports, American investments in foreign bonds, and by the large sums now being spent in Europe by Amer- jean travelers. There js nothing serious about the situation at the Present time, and possibly it’ is all for the -best. The world cannot have truly stable conditions with any country holding more than its share of the world's gold. Hence the sooner a readjustment is made, the better for all concerned so long as it is made gradually. The fact that the tide has turned should, however, be recognized and business men should watch the situation to see whether this turn is permanent or merely temporary. It should also be remembered that if the shipment of gold from this country. increases at any considerable rate, it must result in a reduction of the amount of money now in circulation in the United States, which eventually should mean higher interest rates. American Woolen Wage Cut “Several months ago mills at iso- lated points cut wages 10 per cent, In most instances these were non- union plants and in certain cases ness is upward at the present time Of course a great deal depends on the crop situation this year, ‘The probability is that the farmers will not get such good prices as they did the latter part of last year, and hence a large crop is rather neces- sary. Moreover, the wea ditions for the cotton ci ay been rather poor for the past few weeks, which means that there will not be such a large cotton crop as was originally anticipated, The ten- doney all along general lines of bus iness seems to be for improved vol ume of business but continued small profits. ‘This means that this in- creased’ business may come about through further general price reduc- tion all along the line.

August motor car sales are proceeding at an unprecedented rate for this timerof year. This fact is substantiated by dispatches re- ceived today from Atlanta, San Fran- cisco, Paul, New Orleans and other widely separated points. Strenuous efforts to increase -and encourage those sales are being made, not only through price reduc- tions, but through east and cheap- ness with which purchases can be financed.
