NEW YORK STOCKS WERE ERRATIC
WITH SHARP RECOVERY
IN AFTERNOON.

NEW YORK. June S.--From every di-
rection come protests against advances
in railroad rates and railroad freightS,
and the advances are being held gp
pending the passage Of the railroad
bin and investigation of their reason
abIeness by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. But the situation has
been greatly clarified by the stoppage
OF Injunction proceedings. which. in
themselves, threatened TO tear wide
omen the methods Of joint associations.
Moreover, the big drop in securities.
following the issuance Of the injunc-
ton. was due not so much to the fail
ure of the plan TO advance rates as 10
the prouise Of trouble contained in the
threat of applying the dread antitrust
law TO the very existence of the traffic
associations.
With this out of the way, there was
good ground for the big rebound that
followed. Just as the -e was, with II
ont of the way, no reason for such
big drop.
Sentiment is much improved. Foreign
ers bought some $1,000 shares of our rail-
road stocks yesterday and again today
they were buyers, being encouraged by
the belief that there would be further
reduction In the Bank of England dis

A return Of the market TO the posi-

ton matter developed. would not seem

Declines.
The declines that followed extended
to nearly I1Au2 points ia the leaders
and over a point on the average This

After these declines there was some
covering BY shorts and a rally on which
about half OF the earlier losses were
sustained. With the better feeling there
was a less active volume Of trading
and the market gradually became dull.
Strong and Higher.
The tremendous short interest became
in the noon hour and started
in to get out of their predicament, not
liking the looks Of the situation. This
action changed the whole complexion
