STOCK MARKET IN
 ANOTHER ADVANCE
Waves of Sailing it Intervals
 Art Speedily Absorbed

New York. Feb. ls CF-Lowering of the call money rate from to 6 per cent, an advance of [. . ton in lead prices and the publication Of another series of favorable earnings reports provided the background for another advance In prices in today's stock market. Waves of selling swept through the market. at intervals, but offerings generally were well absorbed. and trading showed a tendency to turn dull on the reactions.
 Judging from commission house comment. speculative opinion is still widely divided as to the future trend of prices. although many observers are agreed that a period of relative quiet is likely until just before the inauguration. Wall street is anxious ly awaiting Hoovers inaugural message for the light that it will throw on the policies of the new administration.
 OH Issues Backward Oil shares were one of the few backward groups in today's market. This was attributed to reports of a gasoline war on the Pacific coast, and also that several western com- panies were planning to enter the eastern market to find an outlet for their surplus crude production. Rail shares also took little part in the days advance, Texas & Pacific standing out with a gain of about 3 points.
 \Revival of activity and strength in American & Foreign Power. which ran up nearly 10 points to a new high record at 13S. was based on reports that the company was planning to enter Canada on a large scale. previous operations being limited largely to Central and South America. Wall street statisticians figured that at current prices. the company's stock was selling about GO times neat earnings. Common wealth Power and American Power & Light also were in brisk de- mand.
