New York, June eO.--The reeoveyy lr the stock market which made it's appear ance in the final dealings yesterday was again in evidence this morning. The im- provement in prices was furthered by the changed attitude of the London stock market thls morning the highest prices being sent in from that quarter along with moderate buying orders in several of the international listed stocks St. Paul and Union Pacific were the strong est features of the mere active stocks in the early dealings The sharpest advances in the railway list, however was scored in Minnesota and St. Louis. Under the same influences that were effective in yesterdays dealings in these stocks. The steel stocks continued to lead the indus trial quarter in respect of activity but the fluctuations in them were today ex- ceedngly limited. No material develop ments of a financial character were set forth in this mornings news and for the most part the improvement in the stock market could be referred to the belief that the money market would not develop the distressing strinGency heretofore ap- prchended and the bank statement would make much better showing than ex- pected.

The action of New Orleans and Liverpool markets clearly indicated that similar condition obtained at those points us well. A careful scrutiny of tho influence ut work when the market op- ened gave shorts no encouragement, but rather created a feeling of dlstust. As the season wore along this dissatisfae- tion grew to positive alarm and finally small stampede of the bear forces in the general market oecurred On the op- ening the market was quiet and firm, with prices up 2 to points in sympathy with flrmer English cables than expected. These figures proved to be the lowest of the session for general buying soon set in and carried the entire list rapidly higher. An emphatic increase in spot demand abroad with report that sellers were withdrawing from southern spot markets prompted investment buying and caused spnhers- to buy futures ais an offset to shortages in raw material sup. piled at the mills Then came rumors Of trouble ahead of the shorts in July, and with a rush that option was bid up Ss points to S.40.

Not a bear was to be seen fight ing the advance, and at no time during the day was concerted resistence brought against the market A forecast for con tiuued dry weather over the southwest. tonight and tomorrow. and for showers in parts of the Carolinas, did much to check liquidation in the afternoon.
