H00SIC TUNNEL IS AMPLY LARGE NOW
Biz Trains Gan Pass Each Other
 Easily

North Adams, Mass. Dec. 1 P,- For the first time In the history of the Hoosac tunnel, the largest freight cars made were able to pass each other on east and west bound tracks today over the full extent of the five mile bore.
 Big automobile and furniture cars sped through the tunnel this morn- ing with room to spare, and the Boston and Maine railroad which completed enlargement of the tube in three months and twenty days, announced that on such shipments savings from 24 to 36 hours had been effected. Formerly 1t had been necessary to detour cars of maximum height or width over roundabout routes.
 The Hoosac was built 50 years ago after a quarter of century of effort and 1t provides the shortest route by rail between New England and the west from the Hudson river to the sea.

SUDDEN DEMAND FOR OIL SHARES
Market Booms Upward This
 Afternoon

New York, Dec. 1.-tP,- A sud- den demand for the oil shares featured the resumption of the up- ward movement in today's stock market Retention of relatively stiff call money rates was disregarded by spectators working for higher prices on the theory that the higher charge was only temporary.
 The advance in the oils was led by Atlantic Refining. which was bid up 1 points, and tended to confirm widespread rumors of a December oil market" Phillips Petroleum and Continent Oil Preferred were bid up to new 1926 peak prices, the buying of the former being associ- ated with merger reports.
 Declaration Of an extra dividend on Lehigh Valley Common and the resumption of dividends on Colorado and Southern infused new strength in the rail shares, although some disappointment was caused by the failure of the Rock Island directors to declare a dividend on the com mon stock. Frisco Preferred touched new top price and Jersey Central was bid up 3 points.
 Nearly a score issues had estab- lished new peak prices before the end of the third hour, including sev- eral tobaccos and Public Utilities. Reynolds Tobacco B was an out standing weak spot, yielding over 3 points.
 The weekly steel trade reviews reported a further recession in mill operations, which are now below 70 per cent of capacity and expected to decline to around 60 per cent next month, when an upward turn is considered likely.
