STOCKS DO WELL
| |NF|NAL TRADING
Decrease in Oil Output and
] Freight Traffic Gains
/ Factors in Rise.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, October 23.-Points Of
Strength and points of weakness were
again about evenly distributed in the
stock market today.
For the fifth consecutive week crude
oil production figures showed de-
grease, and this naturally ENCOURAGED
further buying of the oil stocks. Some
Of the rails were strong, while others
felt the effect of profit-taking. The
weak spots were certain of the sugars
and the woo,en shares.
Bethlehem Again Weak.
Bethlehem Steel early in the day
again dipped below 3S but rallied
later. Shorts were taking in their
contracts on the idea that the un-
favorable report expected after the
close of business might have been
discounted. Anticipation of a poor
showing also by Colorado Fuel and
Iron made little impression. because
the whole basis for the present SELL
ing price OF the stock is the oil
possibilities and not the regular steel
and coal business United States
Steel common was comparatively
steady, displaying its mettle in face
df the heaviness in the independent
rteels. The report next Tuesday was
Gtill expected to show dividends,
during a very trying time.
Oils Keep Up Advance.
The leaders among the oils were
Pacific Oil and Associated OIL. Other
members of the group were generally
strong. but were not as prominent as
these two. The undoubted turn for
the better in the oil trade situation
has started up again all the bullish
gossip which was SO fashionable seven
and eight months ago. Those who
have looked into Pacific Oil affairs
claim that an increase in the dividend
from 81 to SO is fully warranted. This
opinion was being strongly backed in
the market for the stock today.
Hallway shares Vary.
Railway shares were more variable
than on other days. There was no
change in the ST. Louis-San Fran
cisco situation, but the stock having
gone up points within three days, 1t
was not surprising that it should
have. invited heavy realizing. The
same was true of Wabash A. Kansas
City Southern was bid up over a
point and was more active. The ex-
planatton scarcely lay rather in the
prospect of the road figuring in one of
the numerous mergers.
Short covering came into American
ii
S6ss, which was the lowest for all
time. The break OF over 3 points in
American Woolen was no surprise to
those who have been saying that the
company was not earning preferred
dividends.
Against these weak stocks were to
be set numerous specialties which
were decidedly strong. Among these
were Fleischman, up nearly points
on increased dividend possibilities: /:
Postum Cereal, Kinney, Coca Cola
and the Maxwell Motors shares. The
last named stood out the more promi-
nently because they were an excep-
tion to the action of the motor group
generally.
Some selling occurred in Wabash
preferred A today. in response to a
news ticker story that the stock
would not go on dividend basis
this year. The report was regarded
as technically correct It was con-
fidently predicted that Wabash pre-
ferred would join the dividend payers
Immediately after the turn of the
year.

Three New Rail Records.
American railroads established
three new high records during the
week ended October IL in the number
of cars loaded with revenue freieh:.
according to reports filed with the
American Railway Association. The
roads loaded 1,0Ss.462 cars during tha
week, the greatest number for any
one week this year, 1,0I5 above the
previous high record for 1924.
More cars were loaded with uer-
chandise and less than carload-lo-
freight during the week Of October II
than ever before, the total being 259.-
GIT cars. The railroads on october
handled more freight cars than or
any single day this year, the total
movement including both loaded and
empty cars having been 1,018,s52. To
tai loading of all commodities for the
week of October II was an increase OF
11,456 cars over the preceding week
when freight shipments were cur
tailed somewhat.

Churches in Bright Colors Urged.

The Wisconsin Synod of the Presby-

considered an ethical and dignified ad-

1t is to paint all churches in bright coll

tended, of course, for country churches
or the frame. structures in cities, as

New Buying-Moves in

BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 23.-Specula-
tive rails continued to monopolize
attention in today's bond trading. The
active included the M, X. and T., the
Seaboard Air Line, the st. Louis San
Francisco, the New Haven and to a
less extent the Norfolk Southern and
the Wheeling and Lake Erie. Some
or these moves were in sympathy
with action of the stocks of the same
carriers and some were independent.
NJ, X. and T. adjustments were taken
in large blocks at So, two points be
low their high this year. This road
Is covering charges fixed and con-
tingent fund approximately 1.6 times
at present. Interest on this issue
becomes cumulative on January l
next. Meanwhile the bonds sell on
a better than s per cent basis.
Sea bonrd 0s Strong.
With the Seaboard Air Line it was
the consolidated IS that were the
speculative favorites. Here, too. earn
inss are excellent-in fact, the best
In the history of the road. Today's
price was only 2 points below the
high or the year, reached in Ju'v.
The Seaboard adjustments, on which
there is l232 per cent back interest
yet due, were also higher today.
In the New Haven list. New York,
Westchester and Boston AVS were ac-
tive and higher. Norfolk Southern
refunding 5s advanced to a new high
for 1924 on comparatively small pur-
chases. The Norfolk Southern is
covering charges 1.5 times. Wheel
Ing and Lake Erie As and AIS were
both higher. Wheeling and Lake
Erie covers charge more than twice
over for the present.
Industrials Irregular.
Industrial bonds were irregular.
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit 6s were
strong, but the other local fractions
dragged. Sugar bonds were generally
heavy, especially the Cuba Cane is
sues. Wickwire Spencer Steel Is were
lower. Oil bonds did a little better.
In the foreign group the new Ger
man is held firmly above "a. French
7lss crossed 101 for the fist time In
some days. French IS and French
Cities were fractionally higher. There
was an unconfrmed report in the
