THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1926 NEW YORK CURB MARKET Direct to The Star Office in a short distance of the high prices for the year. Whatever profit-taking came into the market for these issues was ab- sorbed with little difficulty, but no. attempt was made to extend the re- cent improvement, in view of the un- certain tendency of the maln body of stocks. Despite continued assurances re- garding the immediate outlook for the oil industry, ofl shares remain in the background. Realizing sales in New Mexico and Arizona Land, one of the recent favorites, carried the price down somewhat from its high of the present movement, but the loss was limited to fractions. Trading fell off in volume as the session progressed and at times dur- ing the afternoon the market lapsed into dullness. 2 Rickenhack Mot. i Silica Gel v { c.
