FINANCIAL. -GURB SHARES GAIN IN BIGGER MARKET Volume Increases as Majority of List Heads Up- i ward. BY JOHN A. CRONE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 30.—On vol- ume somewhat above that of Monday today's Curb Market advanced irreg- ularly. Much of the heavy load of tax selling seemed to have been lifted and while in a few cases issues touched new lows, the majority of the list advanced. ‘There was no great amount of spec- ulative interest and this accounted for the soft spots where selling persisted. Scme of the buying was attributable to short covering in advance of the holi- days and to dealers’ purchases for Jan- uary 1 reinvestment demand. Money at the curb post renewed at 412 per cent, compared with 3 per cent on Monday. T HE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

TULSA, Okla, December 30.—With California leading the way, daily av- erage crude oil production in the United States tumbled sharply last week. A decline of 58,687 barrels car- ried the output to 2,144,074 barrels, the lowest since the week ended August 1, 1926, says the Oil and Gas Journal's report. It was the greatest shift in the country’s production in many months. Application of a new proration pro- gram in California was largely ac- countable for a drop of 35500 barrels in that State's yleld, which totaled 4 Spleg M St pf (6%). 246- Stahl-Myer (1.20)...

Oklahoma production was 457,765 barrels, a decrease of 4,145 barrels; Kansas produced 108,520 bar- rels, an increase of 5475 barrels. Eastern production was 110,000 bar- rels, a drop of 1,000 barrels, and the Rocky Mountain area had a decline of 2,186 barrels with an output of 100,024 barrels.
