Francisco calamity and which carried the
sinister import of the necessities of those
forced to sell. Money also continues easy
and the general condition of business
and industry has yielded no sign that
forces of reaction were developing there,
such as 1t was feared might be heraided
by the slump in the stock market. The
work of recuperaticn in stocks, therefore,
is steadily pursued. There was not much
evidence today of any added public IN

lative market organizations operated with
confidence and success in the accumula-
ton of stocks and in advancing prices.

stock or group of stocks to another. In

market reasserted itself after this pro-

time during the forenoon was fairly gen
eral. and the professional trading ele-
