TRADING SLOW INSTOCK MART Buying of Lehigh Valley Is Only Activity at Open- ing Today. NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—Apart from the activity shown by o! metals and some of the rails, today’s stock mar. ket was devoid of interest. Mexican, California and Atlantic Petroleums rose between 1 and 2 points with simflar gains for Anaconda, Utah, Chino, Butte & Superior and Amer- ican Smelting. Lehigh Valley again led the rails, rising over 2 points. Some of the motors and their spe- claities wert taken at moderate gains, also Baldwin, Railway Steel Spring and kindred issues. In the ‘main, however, trading was dull and pro- fessional. The closing was firm, Saies approximated 250,000 shares. The bond market was steady on lighter transactions. NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—Further ac tive buying of Lehigh Valley was the feature at the opening of today’s stock rket, those shares soon adding 1% ints to yesterday's substantial ad- ce. Otherwise trading was ex mely dull with a firm tone for fav orlte issues of the equipment, motor and specialty groups, Olls were irreg- ular, Mexican Petroleum falling off fractionally, though making quick re covery. Foreign exchange was fea tured by another reaction. in German marks. Cotton.
