| FINANCIAL/ CURB SHARES SAG - INFINAL TRADING Noon Rally Gives Way as Late Selling Affects Whole List. 58 BY JOHN A. CRONE. Boecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, July 2—Curb Exchange stocks finished slightly lower today after rallying around noon from their ir- regular opening trends. Reported disagreement of copper producers, along with lowered metal prices, unsettled mine shares. Public utilities, especially such shares as Elec- tric Bond & Share, United Light & Power A and Utilities Power & Light, remained active throughout the session, although all of the early gains were not retained. Sprints in the oils and sugars featured late trading.

LEAF TOBACCO EXPORTS HIGHEST SINCE 1924 Leaf tobacco exports from the United States for the first five months of this year were larger than for any other similar period since 1924 For May exports totalled 48.912,000 | pounds compared with 23,000 ' for | the same month last year, the Com- | merce Department announced. The total for the five months, January through May, was. 232.954.000 pounds compared with 229,970,000 for the same period last year The five-months total also represent- ed an increase of approximately 8 per | cent over the five-year averag: for similar periods { “This gratifying aspect of the coun- | try's export trade is attributd chiefly | to the continued demands for American bright flue-cured tcbacco in China and the United Kingdom.” said B. D. Hi chief of the Commerce Department’ tobacco division. | “Owing to depressed economic con- ditions and increased tax agitation in many countrics of the world, unfavor- able reports in the first part of the year reflected a decreased business for the American tobacco —gxporters. but de- pleted foreign stocks and rumors of tax'| increases coupled with greatly increased | production and accumulation of stocks | in the United States, which factors drove values to the minimum, served to | move a greater volume of tobacco than | that anticipated by even the most op- timistic in th» industry.” Values of all types during May averaged $1256 per 100 pounds, compared with §19.86 for May, 1930. and $21.79 for May. 1929.
