SHARP RECOVER|ES IN
STOCK MARKET VALUES

NEW YORK, November 9.-With the
immediate opening the market pre-
sented stronger front toe the bears
who had not covered all Of their short
sales of Thursday, while many buying
commissions were entered for the ac-
count of traders who dared, despite the
appearance of things in northern and
southeastern Europe.
The Russian news was bad enough,
but the fact that a separate peace IS
not desired by the party in power and
the declaration of certain leaders to
that effect made it look at least a
little less blue in hue.
But the street apparently counted
considerably on a favorable develop
ment following the conference betw ween
the president and prominent New York
bankers who have been called in to
discuss conditions, that may be effec-
tive in modifying future legislation and
perhaps cause q change, temporarily, in
war financing.
The opening was strong, higher prices
prevailing before the end of the hour,
then reactions set in. which caused a
loss of large part of the gains and in
the case of General Motors loss of
312 points net. while American Tele-
phone and Telegraph was decidedly
soft.
Steel. too. reacted from the high of
81 to 9014 and recessions of 4 to a
point were general.
But from 1880 the market again ac-
cumulated strength, the second wind
being much better and truer to form
than the first, for the losses, with two
exceptions named. were very generally
recovered and the highest prices pre-
vailed at the close of the noon hour,
with the market at that time near the
top.
The rally. too was splendilly re-
f1ected in the rails. the point where
strength was needed, and seemed to re-
fleet the feeling that has become almost
assurance that the present hearing is
practically certain to result favorably
to the roads.
The recovery carried Steel common

ferred gained points: and other stocks
better than l to Il on the average.

Some Relief Is Expected.

Some relief is expected when the food

France and certain neutral countries
release large consignments of sugar
they are holding in this country for eX-
port. France several weeks ago made
an appeal to this country for 100000
tons of sugar to relieve the shortage
over there. where the allowance Is but
one ounce per day per person A large
part of this amount is now en- route to
France, but through the International
commission the French government was
persuaded to return to the American
market part of the sugar it was hold
ing for export.
gar reflneries in Savannah, Ga. was in
conference with United States food
administration officials yesterday and
promised to rush shipment to WASH
ington as soon as he could get the ra"
sugar from Louisiana and refine it.
Provide Sugar Supply.
The food administration already is
taking steps to provide proper sugar
supply year hence by urging west
ern sugar beet growers to increase
their acreage of beets in 1918, or at
least keep it at normal.
Some of them. yielding to the high
price of wheat. are inclined to raise
grain instead of beets. Letters from
Colorado say the shortage of labor will
seriously affect the 1918 crop and urge
that all farm laborers be exempt from
the military draft.
Rumors that the government has con-
fiscated stocks of sugar held by whole
salers or jobbers and sent it abroad
were denied today at the food admins
tration. All sugar exported has been
bought from the ref1ners or wholesalers
ported except under licenses issued by
the government.
