Evening POsO
NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-Today's re-
covery on the stock exchange, which
ran to a full point In some OF the
more active shares, represented APP
parently rather the REIMBURSEMENT OF
speculative positions than response
to the days news. That news COM
prised an advance in the London
bank rate and the announcement by
the agricultural department OF low
condition percentage on the cotton
crop.
AS yet the governing influence on
the stock market seems to be the In
vesting public's unwillingness to sell
when professional operators have
brought about a decline. The govern
ment's cotton estimate was fairly In
line with expectations. although the
condition percentage" OF 64.1 is some
what below almost all the private
forecasts.
