N. M. SHARES In DEMAND

New York, April 24-Recovery took
place in the stock market today cancel
ing the losses made in Saturdays pecu-
LARRY weak session. The strength dis
played was somewhat impressive under
the circumstances Of the continuing un-
certainty respecting international deVel-
opments, even though the character of
advices over the weekend suggested an
effort by the German government to find
Ia way Of preventing a breach Of rela-
|tiQns with the United States. The f1nan-
cti community was not inclined to in
duIEe in over-conhdent anticipation as
Ito the turn which German policy would
take.
For the moment, however, the import
i Of the Berlin and Washington dispatches
lyas tentatively reassuring enough to
make the stock market much less sensi-
hive to speculation for the decline, or OF
epprehensions excited by bearish opera
Eions.
There was, during the day, plenty OF
|spsculative exhortation to observe the
Uncomfortable aspect Of Mexican affairs
and note the disquieting labor situation
/ Yet the stock exchange dealings seemed
TO imply that in the extent to which the
process OF discounting a break with Ger
many had been carried, other unfavora'
bile matters of minor importance had
been discounted, too The upshot Of the
Wall Street day was probably not Sc
much a stock market conclusion about
| Ithe course Of events in the field OF major
Uncertainties as il was a response to the
Exaggerated depression of prices last
week
The leading feature of the day was the
Mercantile Marine shares, which held SC
ftcutly in the recent decline, and were
heavily bought at the highest prices Of
many weeks. the understanding beinG
that the American International Corpor-
Iation had been acquiring a large interest
in the company, the extraordinary pros
perity Of which has been one OF the mar
| |vels Of the business transformations
brought by the European war.
A furry In call money in the last hour
pushed the rate up to IL per cent, the
highest level since the reopening Of the
IstoCk exchange.
/ In the foreign exchange market Ger.
| man bills were slightly easier, but moi
enough so to suggest any obvious con
|nectIon with the reports Of the oficia
