Curb Market Prices Move Amid Confusion and Mixed Signals
New York February 18. Prices in the curb market remain unsettled as trading shows dominance by professionals and a renewed downtrend in value. Liquidation beliefs stem from stricter margin requirements on curb stocks, with baking issues like Continental Baking and General Baking under pressure. Some gains in South American issues faded after early strength, while Trumbull Steel attracted heavy volume on merger talk but closed narrowly higher. Public utilities fluctuated irregularly but trended upward overall with mixed results for Lehigh Valley Corp and Goodyear related stocks.
