NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features of the Days Dealings IN Al
the Leading Stocks

New York, June 29-Further unset
tlenent in speculative conditions char
acterized the first half of today's dull
and professional trading, with sharp
and very substantial rallies before the
close. Motor shares, Utilities and many
minor specialties represented the chief
element of weakness. and rails also
gave way moderately in the absence of
developments regarding the freight
rate situation.
Much of the belated recovery result
ed from short covering in such leaders
as the steels and equipments which
were supported on reports indicating
an adjustment of government prices.
United States Steel made an extreme
advance of 2 1-2 points from it's min
imum of 12S and closed virtually at
the top with a net gain of a point.
Independent Steels and related
shares rebounded from their early re-
versals of , to 8 points, with pro-
nounced strength in Cruciable and
Lackawanna, Baldwin Locomotive and
Republic Iron. Coppers, shippings and
the more volitale specialties were re-
sponsive to relaxed pressure and mo-
tors in some instances. The motors
made up the greater part of their Sc
we're losses.
Industrial Alcohol maintained its
reputation for irregularity, at one pc
riod showing a loss of more than 3
points, which was reversed to an ac-
tual gain of 1-2 points. Ohio gas
and General Motors were among the
other erratic issues in which material
declines gave way to substantial net
advances.
Losses in rails ranged from IA
points in Delaware and Hudson to a
point or more in Union Pacific. South
ern Pacific, Northern Pacific, Balti-
more and Ohio, New York Central and
Southern Railway Preferred. Recover
les in this group were nominal. To-
tai sales amounted to $4,000 shares.
A new low price of % 1-2 for rubles
reflected the mixed news regarding
Russian affairs. Francs shaded a
trifle, but other European remittances
were unaltered. Transfer of about So
100000 gold to San Francisco en- route
to Japan. excited little attention.
Bonds were Irregular with a sale of
Liberty 3 12 at the new premium OF
100 $50. Total sales of bonds (par
value) were s2.s35,ooO United States
bonds were UNCHANGED on call.

CORDWOODFROM
NATIONAL FORESTS

Washington, June 29-To meet any
possible coal shortage in the West next
winter. more extensive use of fuel wood
from the national forests is urged by
the governments foresters, who are
advising both ranchers and town
dwellers to be forehanded in making
arrangements for the supply of their
fuel needs.
The supervisors OF the 153 national
forests will be instructed to afford all
possible facilities to local residents
wishing to obtain cordwood. which
settlers may obtain free for their home
use ana which is sold at low rates to
persons cutting and hauling in order to
sell to others. Since the material thus
utilized Is mainly dead timber. its re-
moval' 1t is explained. helps clear UP
the forest and thus lessons the fire
menace. Timber which is insect -infest-
ed. or old and deteriorating, or other
wise damaged or undesirable from the
torester's standpoint, is also disposed
or Tor fuel purposes. The demand in
the next IL months is expected to break
all records.
During the last fiscal year over 40 900
permits for the free use OF National
Forest timber mainly in the forn, of
,eei "ood were taken out by local res
loents' The amount of timber involved
approximated 25ooc0 cords. Additional
supplies of cordwood were obtained
from the Forests at a nominal 'nrice hv
