The close was nervous at a range
varying from sc decline to a rise of

Oats tended to sag in the absence of

board Wheat weakness also was a
bearish factor.

ing New High Records.

New York. Sept 27.-The pace set
by rails az the outset today was more
than maintained with leaders of that
group increasing their advantages to
levels that placed them at highest quo
tstions for the past year or two. while
Reading at 1852 made a new record.
Union Pacific was the most active
stock OF the first hour, in which sales
again exceeded half a million shares,
for the first time in many months sup
erseding steel and coppers.
Gross gains in rails ran to points
in many issues with an increasing de
msnd. Steel and representative in
dustrials as well as prominent spec
ialtes, held their ground and ship
ping shares rose substantially. RealiZ-
ing provoked moderate reactions be
