NEW YORK, June 24.-The New

today said:
The stock list was in good tone
although trading was quite as dull as
on Wednesday. There was pretty
good buying at times in the first hour
or two in the steel, motor and oil
groups, but this died out at midday
with cancellation of most gains when
call money again advanced to II per
cent from the renewal rate at 8 per
cent and then in the afternoon to IA
per cent.
When the call loan rate finally
touched IA per cent at the beginning
of the last hour, there was a ma
terial reaction in prices, although
trading was not much enlivened
Later on there was partial recovery
In either case the movement was toe
sluggish to carry significance.
