ACTION ON SPECIAL
STOCKSJEMURE
Searching for "Melons"
Keeps Market Nervous.
I Price Movement Erratic.
BY STUART P. WEST.
By Special leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK. October 11.?Interest
in the markets today again converged
upon the fluctuations on the stock
exchange. In other directions, the
price movement was small and unimportant.
Inasmuch as the Turkish matter,
beginning a week ago. had ceased to
occasion serious uneasiness,' the formal
liitrnintr of thp armistlCP OrotOCOl
had Httle effect.
Sterling exchange got above $4.43
and Continental rates, including German
marks, were higher. These
changes, along with somewhat higher
quotations for European government
bonds, was all the response there was ,
to the peace agreement.
Special Movements.
The stock market, following the
modern day method of procedure, was
rather a collection of special moves
for special causes thaq any general
?wing.
Fully half, if not more than half,
of the list was neglected; there was
little tendency one way or the other.
But In the stocks which did change
these changes were mostly upward,
and included a number of rapid advances.
Speculative imagination, which has
been conjuring up stock dividends involving
the splitting up of capital account,
was naturally stimulated by
the big stock distribution announced
overnight by the National Biscuit
Company, followed by a similar declaration
this morning by the American
Itadiator.
Had Been Anticipated.
Both of these actions had been
foreshadowed and pretty well discounted
by the extensive rise which
their stocks have had during the last
lew weeks.
But on the rest of the market the
effect was to quicken the search for
the stocks of other companies whose
treasury assets and earning power
were such as to justify similar disbursements.
Most of the principal individual up*
turns were explained by the speculative
community on the ground of
possible "melon cuttings."
Apparently this was the incentive j
back of the spectacular advance in j
Mexican Petroleum and the PanAmericans.
It furnished the motive
also for the rise in such stocks as
American Woolen and National Lead.
Shorts Intimidated.
At the outset these demonstrations
intimidated the short interests in
others of the highly speculative industrials,
and stocks like Baldwin
Locomotive and Studebaker were bid
up a point to two points. But these I
ad vances were not well sustained. |
In the afternoon the general market
became very irregular again, reflecting
the confusion and at the
same time caution inspired by the i
violent performances in these highpriced
and easily manipulated industrial
specialties.
Steel Revival Maintained.
The weekly steel reviews threw
very little light upon the business
movement in general.
The important point was that the
revival which started with the termination
of the coal strikes has been
maintained, with a further slight increase
during the past week in production,
and this is the more notable
in view of the difficulties experienced
in some sections for want of cars.
With the increase in steel output,
steel prices have stopped going up;
in fact, there has been some shading.
Mexican Petroleum.
More fireworks in Mexican Petroleum
and Pan-American today, carrying the
former above 200. onoe again brought
forth the usual crop or wiia rumors
regarding: both companies. The
financial district was literally flooded
with rumors that the Doheny companies
were likely to declare a
sizeable extra dividend in the near
future and also that a new split-up
In the share was a possibility.
Industrial Alcohol.
Further talk of a contract with one
of the big Standard Oil units for its
entire fuel alcohol output was on?
of the reasons behind the sharp advance
today in the shares of the
United States Industrial Alcohol Com.
pany.
National Lead.
With interest in possible stock distributions
stimulated anew by the big
dividend on National Biscuit, the
street today picked out National Lead
as another company which might be
doing some melon cutting before long.
This was the theory back of the rise
in the stock, and It did not seem to
be altogether unreasonable. ;
National Lead has holdings in the !
United States Cartridge Company, j
which was credited with making big |
war profits, but nothing has been |
said from that day to this about what
disposition was made of them.
Americas Woolen.
Some critics casting abou: for
other stock dividend possibilities
have singled out American Woolen
as one, and ascribed the recent advance
in the stock to this cause.
The main thing against this supposition
is that in May, 1920, the
company did double its common share
capital, but did not hand this out to
its stockholders as a gift.
Quite the contrary, the subscription
offer at par was rejected and
most of the new stock had to be
taken by the underwriting syndicate.
At the same time an increase of
from $40,000.00 to $60,000,000 in the
preferred stock was authorized, but
the new shares were never issued.
This would seem to be an important ,
point to remember in connection with !
the talk of any stock distribution ,
now. |
Regular quarterly^-dividends were I
declared by F. W. Woolworth Company,
common and preferred, the former
payable December 1 to stockholders
of record November 10 and
the latter payable January 2 to stockholders
of record December 9; Union
Tank Car Company common and preferred
payable December 1, to stockholders
of record November 6.
BUYING MUCH EQUIPMENT.
ST. LOUIS October 11.?Railroads
centering in St. Louis placed orders
for 43.000 tons of rails immediately
prior to October 1, when the price
was increased from $40 to $43. The
purchases here were as follows:
"Katy" road. 10,000 tons; Wabash and
Missouri Pacific, each. 15.000 tons.
and Terminal railway, 3,000 tons. St.
Louis Southwestern has an order of <
ft.000 tons placed in 1920, and an order !
placed in the fall of 1921 for 10,000 i
tons, which have not been delivered.
The line is expected to purchase i
6,000 additional tons shortly.
ORIENT ROAD TRAFFIC.
ALPINE. Tex.. October 11?More
than 20,000 head of sheep and goats
and 10.000 head of cattle will be
moved to market from ranches along
the line of the Kansas City. Mexico
& Orient in the next ninety days,
according to orders for cars. It is
argued these shipments are proof of
the necessity of the railroad being
rescued from its present financial
straits and kept in operation for the
benefit of the livestock and other interests
along its line in Texas and
Oklahoma.
NO DROP IN AWNINGS.
PHILADELPHIA. October 11?Reports
made at the convention here of
the National Association of Tent and
Awning Makers indicate there will
bo no reduction in the price of awning*.
nor will the tent makers try to J
solve the housing problem. Joseph
O. Goss of Detroit, national president, I
was in the chair. I

SI HOCKS SLOW;
SOME FIRM SPOTS
??j
BY WILLUH F. HEFFKRNAN.
By Special Leaned Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 11.?Oil
shares on the curb exchange were
quieter today than on any day since
the beginning of the recent upward
movement, with price changes confined
to narrow limits. In comparison
with the violent upward swing of
the last two weeks.
Standard Oil shares moved Irregularly
and It was noticeable that the
demand for these issues had materially
slackened. Prairie Oil and
Gas lost almost 50 points at one
time. Standard of Indiana, Standard
of Kentucky and standard or ivew
York (old stock) moved over a narrow
range, with prices for the most
part slightly higher.

Just a IJttle Melon.
Despite the fact that Vacuum Oil
directors declared an extra dividend
of in cash at yesterday's meeting,
the feeling in certain quarters is that
the real "melon" is still to come.
It was said today that the plans for

Creek oil fields, continued firm at
slightly higher prices.

SENSATIONAL INCREASES
JN STANDARD OIL VALUES
Excessive Speculation in Shares
Extends to Stocks of Other
Companies.
NEW YORK, October 11.?Sensational
gains In prices of shares of
companies in the Standard Oil group
during the past week in response to
the announcements of proposed stock
dividends by two companies and rumors
of such action by several more
have resulted In an appreciation of
nearly $1,000,000,000 in quoted values
above the low prices of the year. Tnis
remarkable Increase, without precedent
in the annals of Wall street. Is the result
of extensive speculation, which has
extended to shares of other oil companies
and of concerns holding large
corporate surpluses.
Shares of the Standard Oil of New
Jersey at today's closing price of 233
show an increase of $255,000,000. The
market value of Standard Oil of New
York at its high of today showed an
increase of $275,000,000 above the low
of the year, while Standard Oil of Indiana
added more than $150,000,000 and
Standard Oil of California $140,000,000
to their quoted values.
All of the other thirty-three units,
which were split up by a decree of
the United States Supreme Court in
1911. also show substantial increases
in appreciation, the quoted value
since that time having increased
$3,000,000,000. Since the dissolution
the various units have . distributed I
more than $1,000,000,000 in cash divi- |
dends. while the stock dividends, ex- j
elusive of those announced this year. |
have a market value of an additional
$1,000,000,000.
John D. Rockefeller is reported to i
have owned 30 per cent of stock at
the time of the dissolution decree.
He is known to have disposed of a
large part of his holdings to other I
members of his family, but had he j
held ms original snares tney would |
have Increased approximately $1,000.- 1
000.000 in eleven years, of which
nearly $400,000,000 would have been
added this year.
Distribution of stock dividends is
said to have been decided upon to
forestall a tax on undivided surplus,
which is reported to be in contemplation
by administration officials to
take care of the government deficit.
Stock dividends already have been
held not subject to taxation, as such,
j by the United States Supreme Court,
i The surplus account of the Standj
ard Oil of New Jersey was $594,1
525.562 as of December 31. Atlantic
Refining holds the record for largest
surplus in proportion to the stock outstanding.
The surplus at the beginning
of the year was $61,709,049 and
the par value of the stock in the
hands of the public is $5,000,000. '

September, 1921. Since January 1.

OIL IMPOSTS LARGE.
BALTIMORE. October 11. ? Baltimore's
imports of crude oil in
bulk are maintaining a large total,
140.000 barrels reaching port last
week. It is interesting to note that
the tonnage figures recently prepared
by the Shipping Board demonstrate
that 60 per cent of Baltimore's
total import tonnage during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1922,
consisted of bulk oil cargoes.
FURNITURE TREND UPWARD.
A strong situation exists in the
furniture trade, with price advances
being made by dealers. There is a
marked scarcity of mirror glass, and
furniture makers also say they have
difficulty In getting any large quantity
of walnut or gum woods. Warehouse
stocks of made-up furniture
are low, and the prediction was made
yesterday that there would be a
scarcity of merchandise later on. Retailers
are now asking for immediate
shipments, as well as placing orders
for spring. Manufacturers are handicapped
by rail embargoes in various
sections of the coutatry, both In
shipping the flnished product and getting
raw materials to their factories:

RUG AND CARPET PRICES UP. j
Four prominent rug companies
have opened their spring lineg of
rugs and ^carpets at prices ranging
from 7 to 10 per cent over previous
values. It is stated that the new
prices will hold only until January
1, after which further advances may
be made. It is expected the new
prices will show advances reflecting
the increased cost of materials which
enter into the manufacture of carpets
and rugs.
CITRUS FRUITS DO WELL.
Production of citrus fruits in Florida
for the season of 1922-23 is estimated
at 15.000.000 boxes. Of this
total about 8.400.000 boxes will be
oranges and tangerines and about
6,600,000 boxes grapefruit. An early
forecast pf the California orange
LI_L n .3 . A V (_ 1 ) er A AAA
v.i uy, ninuc nugusi J. is lOiiuu.uvv
boxes. Last season the commercial
citrus crop of Florida was approximately
13,300.000 boxes, of which
7.300.000 boxes were oranges and
6.000,000 boxes grapefruit. Last
year's crop, however, would have
been nearer 14.000.000 boxes if the
storm of October. 1021, had not destroyed
a large percentage of the
fruit on the west coast.
TABLE OILCLOTHS POPULAR.
Demand for table oil cloths has
grown to large proportions, and one
of the biggest dealers of these goods
reports that his factory is sold up
for the next sixty days. The better
grade cloths, including flannel and
English backs, are the best sellers.
Whites still predominate, although
checks and neat designs In blue and
other colors are also In good demand.
A bigger demand for oil cloth, as
wall coverings for bathrooms and
kitchens Is also reported, and manufacturers
are now offering a much
larger variety of designs than they
have ever made before. With the increasing
demand prices are becoming
stronger.
Grain, Produce
and Live Stock
WHOLESALE MARKET PAICES.
Winter Queen, a new variety of
melon from Rocky Ford. Col., Is In
ouch demand that it promises to become
a strong competitor of the
southern watermelon. It presents the
appearance of the honeydews on the
outside, while the inside is "red to the
rind." Dealers expect they will have
them on hand for the Christmas holiday
season.
Rocky Ford cantaloupes, still fairly
plentiful and cheap, will be on the
market another week or more. The
demand for them is steadily decreasing.
The fruit market is abundantly
supplied with a large variety of attractive
shipments from the south
and west.
Recent rains resulted in smaller re- . >
ceipts of poultry, but with no advance
In prices. Strictly fresh creamery
butter and eggs are scarce and shipments
slow, an advance of 2 cents a
dozen in the price of eggs resulting.
Cheese also is reported scarce.
Dealers report an increase of 2 to 3
cents a pound the past month, but arc r
unable to forecast prices for the winter.
The meat market Is firm, with
no appreciable changes in prices.
