NEW YORK. Oct. 27.-There was
a general feeling In the speculative
district, after the close OF yes.er.
days market, that the hammering
down process In some quarters had
been somewhat overdone, and that
a better rating would soon be
placed upon the market leaders
than that represented by the final
quotations. II was felt that the
corrective process in the assimila.
ton Of the oils and industriais had
been completed for the time being
and that. a good sized rally was
now In order. Only in isolated
cases was the opinion entertained
that the bull movement of 1929 had
been finished, while commission
houses were still advising the pur.
chase Of stock on reactions.
Fractional Advances.
On the whole. these predictions
were verified In the first hour 10.
day. While there was no violent up.
turn In prices, and little indication
|!of traders rushing In to buy. the
general tone or the market was con.
structive. and prices made a mod.
erate improvement all along the line.
In exceptional cases. like Corn Pro.
aucts, Mexican Petroleum and Read.
ing. the gain was az much as three
points. but for the rank and file
of speculative stocks, a FRACTIONAL Adj.
vance seemed to be all that thew
could acquire. Mexican Petroleum
sold up about four points az 224X:
Corn Products three at 1874. Pan.
american one and one-half M 90X .
Reading two at San, and Stude.

Transcontinental Oil was the
leader In the low.priced oils and
gained " points. at I5k, on reports
thar It's subsidiary company In Co.
lumbia, South America, had brought
In the first flowing well in that coun.
try. Mexican Seaboard also made n
better showing and sold up about 1h
points, at Tx.
Steel stocks were stimulated bv thu
reports and statements submitted M
the semi-annual meeting OF the steel
and iron institute. and, as a rule.
theS sold about q point hieher than
close. Judge Gary was
optimistic and stated that manufac.
turers OF steel are now producing on
an average Of about rs per cent OF
their estimated capacity. Prominent
rails like New York Central, Great
.sorthern preferred, Northern Pa.
cific. Atlantic Coast Line and Union
Pacific picked up about q point on
the average.
Trading proceeded at q slower
pace In the second hour and the
volume OF business was somewhat
smaller. AS q rule the strong tone
OF the market was maintained
though. In quite a few cases, prices
receded from the best records es.
tablished in the first period. Pan.
American Oils and equipments
figured most prominently in the
second hour.
There was little of encourage
ment In the money situation. Call
rates were only fractionally lower
at 6k per cent.
Sterling exchange was strong and
commodity markets firm.

NEW SCHOOLS WILL

Assistant Superintendent Stephen
II. Kramer and other school officials
today visited the Kingsman School
and the new addition to the Mott
School. both of which will be opened
Monday. Tho new furniture, plumb.
ing. and heating were inspected.
The Kingsman School Ia designed
to relieve congestion In surrounding
schools. It will take classes from,
the Maury and Edmonds Schools, and
pupils from the Pierce. Webb, and
Bryant Schools. This arrangement
probably will lead TO removal Of the

Of two similar buildings at the

drives for funds. No such condition
prevails at the present time, and the
market for Government bonds is
broad and healthy. -.
As to the old ~ per cents, II
would appear that one Of the con-
tributing causes for their decline ID
the smaller amount Of purchases OF
such bonds by Government sinking
funds. Obviously there is not much
to be gained In the purchase or Lib
erty bonds at around par merely fGl
the object Of retiring them. When
they could be had at 30 or even at
9S, the Government had q good In
centive In buying them up and re-
firing them. Not only aid II gain

The steady drop In prices Of the

has naturally hastened liquidation
OF a good many Of these bonds by
spectators who were holding them
for an advance. A good many
traders confined great deal OF
their attention to the speculative
bond market where they keep In

lose no opportunity to turn over
