 The Rhode Island plan was 'un- .thically advanced in view of the pending report of the New England governors railroad committee, soon to be released. said A. H. Ferguson ot the New Bedford, Mass, chamber of commerce, who added the pls II complicated the situation inasmuch h as it's proponents had worked with the governor.; committee.

There We're Some Sharp Advances in h. dividual Issues That Were Sponsored By Powerful Groups

 Houston Oil was q strong spot in the petroleum division, rising more than 2 points to a new high on the current movement. Strength in these shares, however. failed to attract support in the oil group. where prices moved in d narrow range.
 Coppers met further selling d. American Smelling broke more thar 2 points. Reports that the recent price cut in copper metal had stim- ulated buying of the commodity fail ed to attract support in these stocks.
 Nanadium was q strong spot in the steel shares. rising more than points on resumption of powerful pool sponsorship. Other shares of this class. however. were quiet and little changed. being influenced by reports of little change in the steel situation.
