STOCKS co HIGHER
IN QUIET MARKET
Oil Shares Prove Feature OF
Trading in Final
Dealings.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 27-Stocks
worked higher in quiet trading today
The market started out bravely enough,
with considerable spirit on the advance,
but the enthusiasm evaporated in the
afternoon. The gains were held in
part, but none was of any great amount.
The market had no fresh disturbance
in commodities with which to contend.
The gains were a shade higher at the
end. Cotton was steady. The only
declines were in sugar and in coffee.
Sterling exchange was fractionally
higher in the afternoon.
The feature Of the stock market in
the last half hour was the demand for
the oil shares, with Texas Co. the
leader
The list was not much changed at
the start, but a buying movement soon
got under way, lifting prices l to
points in all the leaders. The Street
was impressed by the way In which
the market had stood up yesterday IN
the face of all the unfavorable elements
in the general situation. Among these,
the collapse in wheat was easily the
most important In Liverpool today
wheat sold at the lowest since 1888,
just as in Chicago yesterday it had
made a record low since trading was
begun on the board of trade. The
market on this side was better. today,
however.
The other disturbing inAdence was,
Of course, the break in sterling, which
had set a new low in the late trading
Wednesday. The opening in New YORK
toSay was a point higher. Finally,
there was the overhanging uncertainty
about the election.
The tact that prices have held so
steady during these outside difficulties
was an argument in favor of taking the
constructive side today Another help
full thing was the September railway
earnings statements, Of which IL IS
only necessary to instance New York
Central which showed 4 sharp increase
IN net over the same month year
ago in the face of an even sharper de-
cline in gross.
During the morning American Tele-
phone was up points from yesterday S
low American Can was up over 4
points and there was animated cover
ing in many other stocks lately under
pressure Lackawanna and New York
Central were the leaders in the rail
list. -PortTeXaS was a strong
specially. American Tobacco shares. on
which the regular dividends were de-
clared after the close yesterday, were
heavy at the start. but worked higher
as the session went on.
