During Second Hour.

NEW YORK, June 3-Having sold
off sharply during the first hour of
trading, on the strength of unfavorable
news reports emanating both from this
country and abroad, the Wall Street
stock market rallied in the second hour,
recovered its losses. and registered
fractional gains ranging from u to q
Of a point.
The Mexican situation was again
talked of as q factor of depressing ma
ture; further conjecture as 10 the Aus
trian situation was banded about by
the bears, and continued gossip was
heard concerning trouble that might
be entailed by The Claflin company's
suspension.
The most disturbing influence was
found in the possibility of the passing
of interest payments tomorrow by the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton rail-
way, now controlled by the Baltimore
and Ohio. The latter road 10 guarantor

would the Senator like to take up
the calendar one one or two evenings
