SPECULATIVE BEARS N
0PTIngTS' STEEL TRAP
In Face OF International Uncertainty.
Stocks Take Unexpected up
ward Turn.
STEEL POINTS WAY UPWARD
Street Apprehends No Early Breach
With GcrTnany--Improved Condi-
tons Probably Attributable to
British War Loan Operations.

New York, July I2.-Anhough
there were Indications OF no little I'M
easiness among speculative holders OF
stocks before the opening of the mar
ket today and although there was
some early weakness, the course OF
prices proved a disagreeable surprise
to the traders who had been operat-
ing bearishly for some time past.
The Stock Exchange session ended
with all around strength. following a
Arm recovery during the greater part
Of the day. which was emphasized by
aggressive general advances in the
last hour
Closing gains ranged all the way up
to 10 to ID points among specialties.
while the average rise was of sub
stantial proportions. Dealings aggre-
gated about a half million shares. and
included both obvious buying for the
long account and an expensive re-
tirement of short contracts. War
stocks in large numbers were leaders
In the upturn. but the movement
spread to all descriptions this after
noon, when constructive influences
were particularly asserted by the
United States Steel shares, the rise in
mate expression of the improving con-
tition in basic industry.
Even the railroads which have been
suffering from so much unmerited
oisfavor, displayed advancing vigor,
and altogether Wall Street was q
more cheerful place tonight than II
has been for a fortnight.
stocks Proved Scarce.
Inelinations TO draw premature
as to the ability of quoted
values to make uninterrupted progress
at this time were restrained in view
OF international uncertainties. 1t IL
true that the early weakness of prices
was accomplished on no volume OF
offerings and that when bearish trad
ers started TO cover they found stocks
in great scarcity All this testified
TO the fact that the market has not
only been sold out, but oversoid, with
an Implication that recent sales had
been absorbed by strong buyers, and
that the list acted as markets act
under such circumstances.
One way in which the session could
be interpreted was a token of the
financial consensus on the posture OF
the country relations with Germany
and as evidence Of the opinion that
there was no reason for apprehending
an immediate breach of those reia-
tons Of the new German note.
Featherweight Features.
An explanation which the feather
headed speculative element seized
upon in the late afternoon to account
for the recovery in stocks was fur
nished by rumors of allied gains In
the European war Those rumors
seemed to be bred of the rise I'm prices
instead OF being the cause of II. al
though IL is quite possible that the
tide of military fortunes having run
toward Germany in the last two
months. may be about to set in the
opposite direction.
IN all probability the true interpre-
tation OF the market was furnished by
the conclusion of the British war loan
operation.

SEC'Y GARRISON
MAKES PROTEST TO
SEN. CHAMBERLAIN

Washington. FEB. 1.-Secretary Gar
rison tonight made public a letter
Which he had addressed to Senator
Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate
military committee, sharply objecting
to characterization of pending admin
lstEation bills to strene then the army
as ''piecemeal legislation" and de-
claring that, unless Congress will pro-
vide the trained personnel to man
them the countrys coast defence guns
might as well be dismantled Senator
Chamberlain recently wrote to the
secretary advising that Congress
would be unable to enact the piece
meal legislation proposed by the war
department, and asking that the de-
partment submit a general measure
for reorganization of the army based
on plan drafted by the general staff.
In his reply, Secretary Garrison
suggested that persons outside Of the
department were getting the commit
tees ear and intimated that an Off
Ger of the general staff had been
transferred from Washington some
time ago on account of his activities
in this connection. This officer, whose
name neither the secretary nor Sen
