— Btock prices this morning displayed 4 firm tone, Even the volatile specin!- ties which recently have been muy ing in such an erratic manned fhuic- tuated within a narrow range and in nearly ail instances were able 10 register fractional gains, If there ‘was liquidation in the market it was) in such small volume us to be un- Roticable. Bears did not resume their hammer. ing tactics, possibly because the market is now !n what ciosely ap- proaches an oversold condition and possibly, also, because of the near | approach of the week-end holiday. | In these hectic market times it is] unusually hazardous for traders to) carry contracts over a holiday. The | firmuess displayed this morning | was due to the desire to close) _THE EVENING WORLD, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, | a dividend of 50 cents a ehare| | ould be declarcd to-day in addl- tion to the regular quart divi dend, Steel shares, the equipments | und in fact practically all groups| worked up to new highs for the | 2 TO 3. market maintained a firm tone | Phe | The Hat | to the end of the session wag helped by the aanvuncement | of the dividends by the Cora Pro- ducts Company, including the extra | of 60 cents u share Announcement of th | application of a | cuosins stock quotations ‘THE CURB-CLOSING High Low, Ade Ttumely 12m 12 | Ajax Rather 21% 1% | Alani » % Ninwka 1% 1% Alls Chalmen 2% 2 | Am Age Chem... 36% 36% Am Heet Sugar we OK Am Bom Memeto 31% 3M Am Can so ye Aen Car & Hound, 118 418 Am Car & Finn pf 106 108 tea Oxtton Vit i 16 Am Vang 4% 4% Aw 6% wu j Am te o Amn Wa Am 2 Aeu Lovomotive Ma Mlied (hen sT% Ain Salety Maxor aM Man Ship & Com Ain Smelt & Aus de mt it tee Voundey Aw sugar Am sugar ot Ain Samates ‘Tob tm Ve: & Tel Am Tabasco Am Tetaceo ota B.. 118 11S Am ‘Tel & ‘Tel tne “a w LA France 8% 8% short commitments before the end of the week. Buying for public ac- | count was a negligible factor in the | advance There aguin was 4 dearth of news of | market importance, The biggest | item of interest was the showing | made by the Fedcral Reserve Bank ip its weekly statement of coniti- tion, The rese rativ of the w York Keserve Bank rose 1 than 8 pointy to the highes< since the early part of 1918. ‘she reserve ratio of the system as a whole rose ubout three points and also stands at the highest figure since the eurly part of 1913. but) Wall Street's mood is such at the) present time (hat these statements failed to create the slightest specu- lative enthusiasm. Neither did of- ferings of cal] money in the out~ | side market at 4 per cent, induce | buying for long account. The volume of trading contrasted) sharply compared with recent ses- | sions. In the first hour transac- | tions totalled only 175,000 share: On most days of this week the first hour's business has totalled any-/ where betweon 250,000 and 400,000 | shares. 11 TO 12. | The market continued to have a very professional appearance during ihe peoond hour. The entire list contin- ued to move within a fractional range, and in nearly every instance small advances were shown over yesterday's closing figures. Traders endeavored to make capital out of the new steel price cuts expected to be announced during the next ten da: but it seems to be the con- sensus of opinion that these ex- pected cuts have been discounted by the recent sharp drop in prices. Additional evidence of the improved condition of the automobile and tire industry was found in the an- pouncement that tle Goodyear Company is about to employ 1,500 additional men. This is the first time in more than a year that the eompany has asked men to apply for work. Profits of the Ford Com- pany and the Studebaker Com- pany in June are expected to be the largest for any single month im their history, but euch factors fas these seem to have little if any weight in shaping market sent!- ment. United States Steel worked up to 715-8, an advance of more than a point over the low mark of yester- day, Motors were firm, Mexican Petroleum again worked up to 112, an advance of 9 points over its re- cent low, Marine preferred was conspicuously firm. Rails were| fractionally higher and without! e#pecial feature. H —— 12 TO f. Increased short coverning during the noon ‘hour imparted a firmer tone to the entire list. Rails were able to extend their advances to good sized fractions, and in many parts Of the industrial list advances over the previous close were extended to nearly 2 points, In many quarters it was believed that the big bear element have been de- terred from making further assaults on prices by the evidence of strong kind of banking support which the market gave yesterday afternoon. ‘These bears encountered the strong- est kind of buying in Mexican Pe- troleum, in United States Stecl at just above 70, and in various spe- Gialties.

U. S. Com- missioner on Charges by Chambliss. Weta points, i Arminius T. Haeberle, until r cently United States Consul General at Rio de Janiero, Brazil, recently or- dered by the State Department to duty at Sidney, Australia, was ar- rested to-day as he was leaving the Munson liner Martha Washington, which docked at Hoboken from Rio and Buenos Ayres, The arrest was made on a warrant sworn to before U. §. Commissioner Edward Rt. Stan- ton in Hoboken, by Capt, William H. Chambliss, formerly master of the Shipping Board vessel Lake Elkwood. Chambliss charges that Haeberie and twelve others illegally seized the Lake Elwood in Rio ‘Harbor in Octo- ber, 1919, put the vessel in dry dock. sold its cargo of coal and its stores, appropriated the commander's money and personal property and pocketed the proceeds, The Recorder issued thirteen warrants on Chambliss’s rep- resentations that all, or nearly all, the men ‘he accuses would arrive on the Martha Washington. ‘The only arrests made wehe those of Haeberle and Archibald H. Price, who alded Haeberle, it is charged. Hae- berle, in October, 1919, was, In addi- tion ot his concular job, the agent of the Shipping Board at Rio. The charges made by Chambliss upon which the warrants were issued to-day have been put before the Ship- ping Board and the State Department, neither of which took any action, Haeberle and Price were released in Mr. Carpenter's custody. pedal ital ae SUGAR CONTRACTS UPHELD BY JURY |! Validity of Agreements for Sugar at 22% Cents Sustained in Baltimore Court. The validity of contracts for sugar at 221-2 cents a pound, made between the American Sugar Refining Con- pany and dealers some months ago when sugar prices were at their peak, bas been sustained by a jury in the United States District Court at Balti more, The Franklin Sugar Refining Com- pany, a Philadelphia subsidiary of the American Company, brought suit against Frey & Son, large wholesale grocers, and the court and fury up- held the brokers’ sales memorandum as a binding contract. ‘The outcome of the Baltimore case has been eagerly awaited, as it in understood that a large number of wholesalers throughout the country have thus far refused to live up to Shortly after 1 o'clock the report waa ireulated that the Mexican Gov- ernment will nullify, by special de- cree, the recently proposed increase on export taxes of oil. This re- @ulted in a further retreat of the short interest in Mexican Petrole- ‘am, which hose above 118 and other Mexican ofi shares went up two points or more, Corn Products rose 2 points on ex- contract for sugar, made with the American Sugar Refining Company when that commodity was about 22 cents. President Babst of the American Sugar Refining Company states: “A year ago people were eager to buy sugar at wholesale at 22 1-2 cents. Sanctity of contracts has become one of the foremost issues in the busincss world.» The decision at Baltimore, like many others in the courts throughout the country, goes a long way in giving the prompt and per- emptory answer, which all right J vu, Gora avd SEIZURE: +] Granby Mining Ateh Ity pf Nt, Gate & Wot ot Riiwin Loco Haldwin Loco pt & Ohio Bat & Ohio pt Neth steel | Meth Steel ft Ithiyn Reid Tra Rin Rap Tran cto 10% 10% Cade 10% 10% Cnt Patong 6 6 [Cal Petroleum 38% Canadian Teific 105% 1 Lester H% De Cent Leathor pf (8% ORM Cero De Vasco By NY Cortain-ted trod Bh BH | Ohandier Motors my & Cha & ONO...
