THE NEW YORK CURB MARKET Received by Private Wire BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN., NEW YORK, May Further buy- ing made itself felt in the curb trad ing today, but the demand was con fined to particular issues. At inter- vals during the session the market turned dull, but no weakness was apparent. The resumption of dividends an- nounced recently by the Prairle Ol and Gas Co. had a stimulating influ- ence in the market for ofl shares, which was more active than it has heen for some time, Both issues of Humble Oll changed t of the time at 65, where they were up fractionally, and a bet- ter demand came into Standard of York at improved prices. The udden activity in the low-priced Y Oil and Gas was accounted for by the announcement of the completion of A test well on the property in the Wewoka field, Oklahoma.
