Motor, Oil and Steels Advance

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-Following
Hesitation at the start stocks took
ganv upward course in the first two
nAslrs' trading on the stock ex-
change today. The improvement
did not appear to be based on any
thing favorable in the immediate
news. In fact, weekend develop
ments contained nothing from which
a constructive view could be taken.
The conclusion could, therefore, be
drawn that the market had become
temporarily oversold and a correc-
tive was needed to restore It's
equilibrium. That such cond1-
ton was gradually developing De-
came discernible in the latter part
Of last week when constant attacks
by bear operators failed to 1nouce
any important liquidation.
Evidently bears came down this
morning with the intention of test
ing the list once more on the down
ward side. Various stocks which
proved vulnerable on recent occa-
sions were again under pressure,
but intense dullness ensued which
served as a warning to the bears.
Moderate short covering soon set
IN to which prices easily responded.
Stocks like Studebaker, Baldwin and
American Can were the first to feel
the effect of the buying movement,
but the tendency to take in short
contracts spread throughout the en-
Etire list. Many traders, who were
waiting for an opportunity of max
inc a quick turn, took the long side.

RUssIA's RELIGIOUS EVOLUTION

The Hicksite Friends held their
yearly meeting, in their meeting
house, at 18th and Race Streets, Phil
adelphia, last week. The religious
turmoil in Russia vas discussed. The
fact that a Polish Roman Catholic
Bishop had been shot and several
Priests and Bishops of the Greek
Church had been shot was because
they were in politics against the Soviet
ruling policy to separate the Church
and State and stop the old Greek
Church officials from holding great
wealth from the use of the people
who were in need. The fact that ago
Methodist churches in Russia which did
take part in politics were not modest
ed was an assurance that religious
liberty was granted those who de-
voted their religious agitation to IN
still moral principles in their mem
beers so that they may act as lndlVld-
ais on the body polite and not use
the Church machinery in politics.
Turn back the pages of history and
you will learn that the same happened
in England. Scotland and Wales be
tween 1910 and 1888, and in France
after the beginning of the Revolution
there in 1892. -,
Give Russians time and they will
work out their salvation by slough

COTTON NERVOUS AND IRREGULAR M| TRADING OF DAY.

NEW YORK, August 15.-The cot ton market was rather nervous and irregular today. After reacting from an early advance, prices sold into new high ground for the movement during the middle of the afternoon. but eased off again under renewed realizing. December contracts, which had rallied 24.20c to 24.70c, closed at z4.37, or B points off from the best. with the general market closing barely steady net 10 points higher to 10 points lower.
 The market opened steady at an advance of to 24 points, with active months selling 20 to 30 points net higher right after the call. Buying on unfaVorable crop reports was en- eouraged by relatively steady Liver pool cables and rather more favor able view of the European situation. but the market encountered a good deal of realizing and soon turned easier The selling became more ac- tive when the publication of bullish weekly report from the weather bu- reau failed to stimulate more gen. eral buying and was doubtless pro- noted by the western belt forecast for partly cloudy weather with prob and Oklahoma. October sold down from 24.6Sc to 24.1Sc, and December from 24.S5c 10 23.95c, or about IT to 23 points net lower during the mid de of the day but these prices seemed to bring in some fresh buy ing or covering. The market stiff fened up in consequence and ad- vanced rather rapidly during the early afternoon on the detailed weather reports, showing very high temperatures in the southwest and the continued receipt of very bulisn crop advices from practically all sec tions of the belt, October sold al 24.70c and January at 24.36c, making net advances of 24 to 92 points. but the market broke in the later trad ing under renewed liquidation.
 A private crop report, published early, placed the mid month condl- tion at 6S2, indicating deterioration of 6.6 points from the last report. and a loss of IT points in the condition of the crop in Texas.

 French and Belgian issues sold lower in the early trading but gen erally recovered to about the same levels as yesterdays final figures. Norway 6s declined 2S to a new low for the year. probably in reflection of the new $2O.00O,000 loan to that government. Denmark 6s and Swiss Ss each dropped a point, while Co., penhagen 5 1as and Mexican 5s moved Up point.
 United States government bonds improved slightly with the exception of the second Liberty 414s and the treasury 4As, which eased fraction ally.

Losses of 6 point each were recovered by several other railroad mortgages, including Union Pacific first As, Atchison general 4s and St. Paul 4s of 1925. A drop of 9 points by Wilson and company con vertible 6s was the only outstanding change among the industrial liens.

VOLUME OF SALES IS HEAVIEST OF.
 LAST TWO WEEKS.

NEW YORK, August 15.-Prices in todays stock market displayed a strong undertone despite the heavy selling of oil shares based on the ex- tension of the gasoline price cutting war to eastern territory The volume of sales was the largest in the last two weeks. While short covering operations were responsible for most of the buying power commission houses reported an increase in out side participation, particularly on the part of small investors.
 Buying for both accounts was in- fluenced somewhat by official assur- ance that no extra session of Con gress was contemplated this fall, re- opening of the local conference and the probability of the early recogni- ton of Mexico.
 The recessions in oil shares ran from 1 to points with producers and refiners and the Mexican seaboard issued the heaviest losers, selling of the latter being based on the passing of the dividend at yesterdays meet ing of the board of directors. New low records for the year were estab- lished during the day by Sinclair common and preferred, Cosden, Mar nand, Middle States, Skelly White Eagle, Pierce oil preferred, Trans continental and Invincible.
