The market. made spirited recovery

heavy buying movement. Among the rail-
roads the strongest issues were Union Pa

Reports of crop prospects were again
the governing feature in the stock market.
Prices rose rapidly during the morning in
response to advices from the west that
conditions had been improved by rains
and that the hot wave had been broken in
crop regions. London bought stocks in
this market for the first time this week
and the reversal of position was interpret
ed as an indication that the tension caused
by the Moroccan situation was relaxing.
The volume of trading was not large
enough to suggest that prices were being
forced up by organized bullish effort as
the market grew dull after the first up
turn Shorts grew more alarmed as the
crop bulletin came in, and their buying
was instrumental in sending up prices of
the chief grain carrying issues materially.
Union Pacific was the principal feature,
its rise at midday amounting to nearly 8
points. United States Steel rose IL, the
demand being stimulated by reports OF
further Improvement in the steel and iron
trade and an advance in the price Of basic
iron.
