NEW YORK, February b5.—The rather disturbing news of the break- up of the Lausanne conference served to check ‘the upward movement of industrials for a time on the curb | v, exchange today. There was, however, noticeable weakn xcept in one or two instances. - Ofl shares were exceptions to the general tendency and again moved upward, some of them to mew high records for the year. The buying in this ground was based upon reports of further advances in gasoline prices by several of the leading companies. dard of Indiana and Standard tucky were prominent in the upward movement, while Standard of New York gained a half point at one time. Others to reach higher levels included Indiana Pipe Line, Prairie Oll and Gas and Ohlo Oil. Wilcox Oil was strong on reports of greatly Increased production.
