CDRB SECURITIES HAYE STROM TONE Heavy Activity Is Confinod to Few Higher Triced Stocks. A otronft tons Again marked curt) trodlnr yesterday, but lieavy activity was conllnod to a few hluher priced toel. Independent oils were Benin prominent, and overnl of them wtab-Ihilie- d new hlrjhs, with large advances. Blmms Petroleum was a prominent fea- ture and rose a few points from Us early low on buylne attributed to an- nouncement that tho Amorlcan Interna-tln.- il Corporation had acquired a al block of Its stock. General Asphalt pained a few points but reacted toward tho closo. Internat- ional rntroleum wus In vigorous de- mand and moved to a now high, duffcy aillerpto moved nlmost two points higher, hut Cnrlb Syndicate, weakened toward tho close. Among tho lowor priced shares renewed activity was shown In allied and Thraman Oil. Industrials were rather quiet, and moved In a listless manner. I'rlco changes generally wcro small and mixed. A new mining Issue, Carson Hill Gold, was Introduced to tho market and moved up a fraction from Its opening. The stock was previously traded In on the Boston Exchange.

Every year Santa Claus demonstrates that ho has a fow now tricks up his sloove, but 1919 la probably the flret year that h over conceived the Idea of pnsslne out a Beat on the Now Tork Stock Exchanjo to one of his favorites. In putting that sift Into tho stocking of John II. McManus, connected with tho firm ot A. A. Ilousman & Co., old Saint Nick has certainly broken all precedent Announcement of the formal transfer of the seat of Clarence J. Housman, senior member of tho firm, to Mr. his confidential clerk, wan mado yesterday by the New York Stock Ex- change. \Wall Street has heard for time that something of that sort was In the wind, but tho first of- ficial announcement was mado ycuterdny morning. It was, however, in the stereo typed form, \proposed transfer of membership, Clarence J. Housman to jonn ti. AicManurY' ami n great many who road It entirely overlooked tho of It that It represented the reward of years of hard work and con-- f clentlous effort on tho part of tho conf- idential clerk. At his office In 20 Brood street Mr. Housman Bald yesterday afternoon that l.o did not Intend to retire, but did mean to take things as easy as possible In the future. \I etartcd out thirty-tw- o years ago at tho aso of oovenleen,\ he Bald, \with tho determination that when I became fifty I would begin to take things easy. I have never played much; have mwavB worked hard. I have been ex cccdingly fortunate In liavlng with mo for eighteen years a very capablo man-J- ohn II. McManua. He has bjsn very active on the board with me and he certainly knows the gamo thoroughly. I am only giving him now a well oamed opportunity to mako use of the experi ence ho has ealned.\ Mr. McManus was Inclined to bo very reticent when asked to talk about him- self, but he was unstinted In his praise of Mr. Ilousman. Mr. McManus began his Wall Street career In the oftli Ladcnburc, Thalman & Co., from which firm he went to the office of A. A. Hous-tun- n & Co., with which he has remained ever since a period of eighteen years, \Mr. Housman Is doing the biggest thing that any man could possibly do,\ was about all he could bo Induced to say, He would not talk about himself, but from other sources It was learned thai during his eighteen years' service wltb tho Housman firm ho has been ribsent from business but one day and lias &r rived at the office lato but once. COFFEE MARKET. The coffee markot was again yester- day a hesitating affair and dull, prices working a fow points up or down ac- cording to preponderance of orders cither way. Wttle local spot business was reported. Early dlk-ta- l cables wore disappointing to tho trade and the mar- ket opened nt declines of 6 to IB points, a prominent importing firm on lower Wall street being credited with most of the early offcrlnns. Values seesawed up and down throughout tho day, closing at net gains of 3 to 9 points, sulllclcnt trade covering to advance prices appaar-m- s after each dip. Firm offers wcro few, owing to delated cables. Ranjo of prices! Tlmrv Open, lllih. IiOir. (loee. dir. December u.a January H.C6-T- 14,70 Fehnurr....
