TONE MUCH BETTER
 IN STOCK MARKET
Losses During Tuesdays Decline Largely Re
 covered

New York, January 10.-Losses in the stock market during yesterdays decline were largely recovered today. The tone was much better. Anxiety occasioned by the Equitable fire was removed, al- though the financial district did not slip back entirely into it's accustomed rou- tine. The decision of the governing board of the Stock Exchange to relieve traders affected by the fire from the necessity of delivering securities in an indefinite period to these fears although the fact that a vast amount of stocks and bonds were tied up in the vaults of the ruined building served to restrict business.
 The market became active and strong in the latter part of the session. which had been dull after an opening spurt Tn spite of it's dullness the list was firm throughout the day, with a constant up- ward tendency Union Pacific recovered more than ? points of yesterdays loss and virtually all of the active stocks i'm proved substantially. Much of the buy ing came from the short interest. The dullness of the market recently and it's lack of responsiveness to indications or better business conditions, gave specu- lative opinion an increasingly bearish turn and yesterdays raids apparently ex- tended the short interest to proportions which made it susceptible to successful attack.
 The monthly statement of the United siales afaH eornea aation was surprise ,s tae street Preliminary estimates of tie naaaI 5f unalled orders range from egna fe 5e0Q ms. The showing of se aa .aas nd I'd that the revival in
 sias aass last month was a de- cided one The weekly review of the trade reported that while some extrav- agant predictions as to the extent of the revival had not been realized, the volume of business in some important lines had been large.
 The markets reception of the Steel figures was disappointing to the bulls. United States Steel rose more than point on the day, but there was no spurt when the figures were made known, and the report seemed to be less of a factor than bear covering in elevating prices. Traders took the position that the ef- feet on United States Steel of the month ly statement was largely offset by the bearish influences exerted by the Stan ley investigations, the governments dis solution suit and possibility of a heavy reduction of the steel tariff schedule.
 American stocks in London were less disturbed than yesterday. About 12,000 shares were sold on balance for foreign account. London was borrower in this market, making bids of per cent for the loans to carry until the end of the month. Many of the local banks placed funds at that rate, which partly account ed for the firmness of the foreign ex- ! change market.

benefit that the people Of the United

world by their achievement In bringing
about the completion OF that great un-
dertaking."
Mr.. Hale said every one Of the gov
ernments visited had promised to send
naval vessels and military de'achments
