Curb Market Review and Stock Movements
Trading on the curb was quiet with a firm tone in many issues and rising outside interest. Notable activity touched General Asphalt and Allied, with oil firms like Simms Petroleum, Home Oil Refining, and Overland Tire showing gains, while Indian Packing and allied stocks softened and tobacco exports held firm. In New York copper and other metals steadied, with London and Philadelphia quotes drifting alongside broad grain and live stock markets reflecting mixed demand and supply conditions.
