New York, June 23.-The stock market
opened at recoveries in practically all Of
its quarters. Trading was only fairly ac-

urdertone of the market was reported
good. There was very little news over
night to affect the speculation in either
direction, but the market was favorably

In the industrial quarter the active

A somewhat lively opening characterized
the stock market this morning. the entire
list advancing from q fraction to two
points or more under the lead OF good
buying of the Vanderbilt issues In this
fact that the standard stocks led the move
ment instead Of the specialties 1t differed
somewhat from the recent small upward
fluctuations and was for this reason con-
sidered more significant. The buying of
the Vanderbilts was considered good and
there was little pressure to sell anything
on the list. Traders were not willing to
state their belief that the change fore
shadoved a better market Immediately. but
it Is undoubtedly the Nact that there was
a more hopeful feeling generally. At the
