We didn't have time to await the
finish. The way things were
going they're probably still running.
Or crawling.
Eleanor Powell, the call sheet
said, was doing a rhumba with a
trained nag called Starless Night
for a scene in the film, Sensations
of 1914 On very fast track, the
fern chart said. So we strapped
on our binoculars, Put on sport
coat, sharpened pencil and took
so bucks out CT our piggie bank to
put on Eleanor's nose.
But after standing around all
afternoon, we still don't know the
winner. In fact. we didn't even
see Eleanor and the horse rhumba
We were looking forward tc this
with great anticipation, too. A six
legged dance team with two heads
is Unusual, even in Hollywood.
All Eleanor and StarleaS Night
did was walk around a little track

During Quiet Week.;
Oils Rally at End
BY BERNARD S. O'HARA,

AooOSiabcu FICSs WIlLcI.
NEW YORK, jan 22.-The stock
market today was a shade higher
on balance after a week devoted al
most entirely to buying of rails and
specialties>
While advances were limited to
small fractions generally in the
short Saturday session, there we're
a few liquor gamers of a point or
so. Plus marks were we'll distributed
at the close but numerous issues
were shade lower or without any
variation at all.
Prices Remain Narrow.
The share division held to a mar
row area throughout the six-day
stretch. The list maintained it's
equilibrium Monday in the face OF
the Moscow rumor of British-Ger-
man peace feelers. Except for car
riers and assorted industrials, trends
still were cloudy Tuesday as Wall
Street turned virtually all of its at
tention to the record War Loan
drive. Daily volumes were around
300 900 shares or under.
Earnings, actual and prospective,
spurred individual stocks. The
transportation section seemingly
was buoyed by the wage settlement,
return of the roads to private owner
ship and the outlook for heavy traffic
even if the European conflict should
end suddenly. Helpful also was the
thought that the big payroll boost
would be partly offset by relief from
excess profits taxes.

average was up i of point at 81.

week showed net increase of g.
The rail composite advanced 8 for
the week to 255, highest mark since
