FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET HUCrUATED Rallied at tfe Mid Session and Fell
 Away Towards the Close.

Now York. Oct H. Investment stocks. principally rails, were again extensively Hquidated in the early stages of. todays trading, rallied mod erately on the more restrained opera tions of the, mid session and fell away again towards the active close.
 Much Of the temporary improve ment, which favored war stocks and speoiaIties more than standard issues, was ascribed to short covering, that faction evidently deeming it advisable to take profits and otherwise reduce commitments over the approaching last hour was doubtless impelled, however, by the rather meagre buy ing power or lack of public inquiry.
 Early declines carried St Paul com mon and preferred and Baltimore and Ohio common and preferred to new low records at extreme recessions of to 1-4 points. Union Pacific. Ca nadian Pacific. Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Chicago and Morthwestern, Reading, Norfolk and Western and New York Central included the other I ails that broke 1 to 8 1-2 points to lowest quotations of the year or for a much longer period.
 Weakness in this important division again affected every other branch of the market, notably prominent indust- rials, in which early tendencies were mainly towards betterment, gains of one to three points soon being eff faced.
 U. S. Steel rallied from it's recent low of 101 3-4 to 104 1-4 but closed at 1o2 7-s. unchanged on the day. Other steels and equipments. metals, oils, equipments and specialties who reversed their course. closing at slight declines or nominal gains. Shippings showed underlying strength, likewise the motor issues. Sales amounted to 960, GOO shares
 Bonds wore irregular on heavier of ferings, the Liberty 1-2's changing hands at 99.6S to 99.S2. Total sales (par value) 6,135.000.
