Relief from alarm over anaTs IN
Mexico was the most definite force In

Another important influence was ces-

European operations here were on
reduced scale and We're about equaIly
divided between buying and selling.
Stocks were not In abundant supply,
as bear traders discovered when they
attempted to cover.
The most pronounced movement was
in the first hour of trading, when many
of the favorites advanced from one to
two points.
The copper stocks showed strength.
