NEW YORK, June 20.-(Wall Street. Stocks made general, though not complete recovery today from their heaviness of the preceding session. The trading element seemed less concerned about affairs in Mexico and prices were actually at their best immediately after publication of the state department s note to the Mexican government.
 Dealings were broader, but smaller in the aggregate, with liberal admlX- ture of short covering. Mexicans as a group, regained to points, Reading almost points, the prominent motors were better by to ' points and ship ping shares one and half to three.
 War shares were variably higher for a time, particularly the equipments, but these too proved susceptible to re- aliZing, with coppers and zinc shares. Such inactive issues as American To- bacco, Sears -Roebuck, Keyser, and Woolworth responded to light buying based on favorable trade reports.

COCH|sE CONTINUES
 |TS MINE ACTIVITY

A review of the mining industry in Cochise county by the Bisbee Review shows that there is continued activity in all parts. New machinery is being installed on properties in the Huach- ucas, Dos Cabezas, Bowie and the Chiricahuas Bonds are being taken on claims and payments on options being made. Forces are being in- creased and the shipment of ores in- creased to the smelters at Douglas and Fl Paso, the latter smelter now being again in the market for cus tom ores after refusing them for the past few months.
 In the Huachucas
 G. J. McCabe and Bruce Doredor have just completed the installation of sixty horsepower boiler, com pressor and several sets of air drills on their properties in Montezuma canyon and are now in a position to do some extensive development work. The property they are at work upon is a lead silver proposition and prom ises to develop into one of the best groups in that section of the country | Work in Montezuma canyon on the gold properties of Woolf, Kelly Mor- gan, Jones, Bauer and others is pro- gressing They are all doing develop ment work on their respective claims and some of them have given options on their properties to Colorado cap- italists.
 The Kelly Brothers, James and Will have begun the assessment work ano development work on the new lungs ten strike that they made at tht entrance of Miller canyon. The ort was found in the big dyke that run: across the canyon near what wal formerly known as the "Hollensteei place. and has been run over b. thousands of people in the past thirt! years and no attention was paid to l as it was thought to be a barren vel low stained quartz.

Ore has been struck at 15 feet which. assayed by the Old Dominion smelter chemist, gave returns of 21 and 22 per cent copper, according to a wire received by s. J. Nicholson yesterday from H. c. Malloy, of the Inspiration, Needles.
 The first drill in operation on the property of the Inspiration Needles Copper company at Miami is in ore, is the report brought to Phoenix last night by Louis Kronthal a recent ar rival from Miami.
 The Inspiration Needles company has purchased four additional drills, which Superintendent Malloy is mov- ing on the grounds and three eight hour shifts are now being worked on the property. This action is causing no little excitement in the Globe Miami district and the Inspiration Needles is opening up what the most prominent mining men consider as a bonanza copper mine in Arizona.
 John s. Cook, the Globe banker and capitalist is now in New York City making preparations for listing h. splration Needles on the New York and Boston curbs, and it is rumored in mining circles that Charles NJ Schwab. former president of the steeI trust is interested in the new com. pany.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, June 20-Unwelcome wet weather both in the southwest and the northwest tended today to force up the price of wheat Largely in conse- quence, the market finished strong 7 to 11ac net higher, with July at 1.033s and September at $1.05B. Corn gained 1ss@1s to IS CA. and oats ss to $ CA. In provisions, the outcome varied from five cents decline to a rise of 20 cents.
 Wheat values received their greatest upward impetus from the fact that widespread rains threatened interfer- ence with harvest operations in the winter crop states, especially Kansas and Illinois. Higher quotations from Liverpool and decline on ocean freight rates tended also to induce buying.
 Just before the close. the wheat mar ket suddenly frightened to the highest point of the day, as result of sellers having awakened to the fact that one of the strongest concerns on change had absorbed all the surplus offerings. Corn bulged in price, owing to cold weather, and too much rain. The
