Considering the unfavorable phases of the money situation and the marked weakness which Stock Exchange prices showed at one time, the Curb Market gave « good account of Itself to-day. The most noticeable effect of the Money stringency was a decided con- traction in the volume of trading. General Asphalt, which has risen almost perpendicularly during recent weeks, Jost about 3 points but this was due mostly to the unexpected announcement that $333,600 additional stock been listed on the Phila- delphia Stock Exchange. Heaviest dealings were in General Motors new stock “when if and as issued.” Approximately 18,000 shares were traded in, between 391-2 and 401-2, No official announcement of an increase in General Motors capi- talization has yet been made, but it is generally understood that the shares will be split up on ther basis of ten to one, Houston Oil at one time showed a decline of more than five points, but the remainder of the ofl list was dull and showed inconsequential price changes. American Safety Razor and Hupp Motors were strong spots. In connection with the former issue it is reported that plans are maturing which may lead to the issuance of “rights” to subscribe to new Export Company stock, OILS ON THE OURB. Opened irregular.
