$4,000 for a COW and bull, which

I don't think this ghost-busting

America. The housing problem is
SO bad here that most people would
be glad to share house with a
ghost, and maybe use him as a baby

In Quiet Dealings
BY the Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 15-The stock
market coasted along at a slightly
lower price>level today.
A long list of key issues were
marked down fractionally immedi-
ately after the opening bell but
sufficient support soon developed to
keep the market on an even keel.
Trading was considerably slower
yesterday when nearly 1,000,0 900
shares changed hands.
Today's small stumbling block in
the way of an October rally was
regarded without much concern in
the financial district. A sustained
advance, it was explained, is really
la one-way proposition and occa-
sional setbacks must be expected.
Issues lower included Chrysler,
Studebaker, Bethlehem Steel, In
ternational Harvester, American
Telephone, Consolidated Natural
Gas, Cerro de Pasco, American Can,
Johns -Manville, Philip Morris,
American Woolen, Southern Pacific,
Southern Railway, Texas Co., Pa
ciflc Western Oil and American
Airlines.
A bit higher were Goodyear, Spie-
gel, United Aircraft, Schenley, North
American Co.. Patino Mines, Ameri-
can Smelling. Allied .. Chemical,
Chesapeake g. Ohio and United Air
Lines.
In the Curb lower prices were
paid for Woodley Petroleum, Cities
Service, Niagara Hudson Power,
Pantepec Oil, and United Light &
Railways. Nudged ahead q bit were
American Gas & Electric, Ashland
Oil, Electric Bond & Share, and
Raytheon Mfg.
In narrow bond market Penn
sylvania Central airlines 31as of
1860 jumped around points. The
rise was linked with rumors of the
possibility OF a merger involving a
Western airline.
