The Exxon Corporation's president, Lee Raymond, sold 45,999, or 43 percent, of his shares in the Irving, Tex., oil giant. Mr. Raymond sold the shares Aug. 5 for $64.76 each and now holds 59,627 shares. In addition, other company officials sold about 151,000 shares in the last month for $55 to $64.76 each, Securities and Exchange Commission filings show. The sales come as Exxon stock has reached highs and as falling United States interest rates have weakened the dollar and driven overseas operating expenses up. This could push down earnings for an international company like Exxon. "The stock price by some people's standards is close to the asset valuation," said Benjamin Rice, an analyst at Brown Brothers Harriman in New York. Exxon officials declined to comment.
