TLITES FEATIRE ADVANCE ON UG TTotal Sales Reach New Rec- ord for Short Session. Oils Are Dull. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, July 13.—Public utili- Hes for the fourth consecutive day on the Curb Exchange today were rushed to record price levels. Blocks of 5,000 to 35,000 shares changed hands in the two hours of trading, which established a record with total sales of 1,832,200. Gains ranged up to 19 points at the close. The rest of the curb list was comparatively quiet, with communica- tion issues the strong feature. Allied Fower & Iight, public utility management company, ofti.crs of which are assoclated with Commonwealth & Southean Corporation, opened on a block of 5,000 shares at 105, a new high, for an overnight gain of 13 points. On the next few sales it slipped down to 92, and snapped back to close at 98 for a net gain of 6 points. Middle West Utilities, controlled by the Insulls of Chicago, shot up 18 points to close at 285, a new peak #nd the best price of the day. This year this stock sold as low as 158%. Electric Investors again scaled a new peak, reaching 264%, nad closed at 260 for a net gain of 5%. The low price for this stock this year is 77'2. American Superpower new on a fractional rise touched a new at 64, and United Gas Improvement old, which is soon to be removed from trading, soared 5% to 283%, a new m%lnldh.n Marconi, which a few months back took a nose dive after a spectacular advance, on a heavy volume of trading, advanced a point to 11%.

It s cus- tomary in New York banks for tellers and money counters in counting to strip off the money rather than by thumbing it. An experienced tellcr should readily locate counterfeit bills by the feel of them. Familiarity with portraits snd embellishments on bills of diffrent ce- nominations should be an open book to_tellers. No payment should be made on wire or cable orders unless the payee is sai- isfactorily identified, and on large pay- ments personal identification should be required. Signatures on letters of credit should be investigated and comparisons made. In the matter of securities, in- sist on satisfactory guarantee of the n presenting, either by reputable nking, brokerage house or exchange member. Great care should be taken to_avold possession of stolen securities. Praudulent financial statements fur- nished banks as credit information is a very common fraud, and banks should insist upon statements being audited by a firm of accountants. It is advised that banks should retain envelopes in which statements are received, in order that in case of fraud, charges may be made in Federal courts. Miss Krieg further recommends ob- taining bank references and identifica- tions where requests are made for saf ty s from non-customers of tI bank. Guards should carefully watch everything going on, police the accom- modation desks and wastebaskets from which the “camera eye” and ‘“waste- besket hawks” purloin signatures from spoiled checks and deposit slips left by careless depositors. “Two men who specialized the above practice with comparative ease cost banks and their depositors $1,000,000 over a period of 10 years before they were arrested.” A plainclothes guard on the banking floor is urged. It is & mistake to wallets, handbags or trucks used in transporting money to or from banks.
