TUR[D BY
OILS
Practically All Independent
Oil Shares Participate in
Vigorous Rally

NEW YORK, oct. 1.-THE stock
market was lifted out Of its stage
OF depression today by rally in
oil stocks in which practically all
OF the independent oil shares parti-
ctpated, and in the course OF which
prices rose from q fraction to two
points over yesterdays low levels
before the end of the first hour.
The rally in oils was more vigorous
than the one which was nipped in
the bud by Tuesdays avalanche Of
selling, though oil stocks In that
session showed their stability by
refusing to join In the swift down.
ward movement of prices.
Industrial stocks were pressed
ION the market Immediately after
the opening, and though first prices
were nearly g point higher for the
higher priced active shares. declines
were in order In stocks like Amer.
lean Can, Baldwin, General Electric.
Cast Iron Pipe, and others. It ap.
peared that the heavy professional
selling movement had not been
completed.
Announcement by the Prairie Oil
and Gas Company, one Of the largest
purchasers OF crude oil IN the
country, that it had finished pro.
rating and would ihenceforth buy
all the crude oil offered to It by
producers, was considered one Of the
most constructive developments in
the oil industry since the price cut.
ting war began. Then came the
weekly estimate of crude oil produc.
ton by the Oil City Derrick. show.
ing falling off of 1886 barrels
last week. following the decline OF
$4,000 barrels in the week preceding.
Traders In oil stocks who have been
waiting for the turn" in the sta.
tistical position Of the industry were
encouraged to buy their favOrite
stocks while shorts covered.
The advance In oil stock prices
was the most pronounced that has
been seen in the market for more
than a month. Phillips Petroleum
at 3lh was up points from yes.
terday's low; Marland at 33lk, up 2
points; Producers and Reeiners at
25K, up ,2h- points; Pan.American
b up 2, Cosden up l, and. Standard
OF California up IL
Railroad and Industrial stocks did
not participate in the advance in
prices, but selling pressure On them
relaxed and prices remained at or
near the level offtie opening OF the
market. Industrial and financial re-
ports were constructive, indicating
good progress in industrials and
business activity.
