Comes After Two Months
of Sluggishness.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The stock
market showed a return to strength
today.
Specific developments to explain
the recovery were lacking by the
haste with which shorts covered,

being nearly three times those of

Mexican Petroleum, the spectac-
ular feature Of the last two months,
again was the pivotal issue. The
stock rallied from its early low Of
$50 to 101A, making net gain of
ten points.
Pan-American Petroleum, Atlant-
ic Gulf and Asphalt tended to gains
Of 51k to points and some Of the
domestic issues showed marked
strength, but European oils revers-
ing yesterdays movement, were
heavy.
Further price cutting by Republic

detriment. in which advances ranged
from 2 TO 51A points. equipments and
motors also finishing at substantial
gains.
The rise OF rails was especially
impressive. embracing many OF the
high grade transcontinentals and
grangers, notably Canadian Pacific,
Great Northern, Louisville & Nash
vile and Atlantic at gains Of TO
nearly 5 points. Call money rates
were steady at X percent on the
exchange and as low as 4& percent

change denoted uncertain conditions
abroad. sterling rallying from early
reaction, while continental remit
tances continued 10 ease and far
eastern rates showed increased
strength.
With few exceptions Liberty and
Victory issues were higher. but the
bond list as a whole failed 10 keep
pace with the stock market. Gains
among rails were irregular and sea
board adjustments lost points with
further weakness in Cuba's rs. Total
sales par value, $1O,175,000.

by the state Wednesday morning
and he testified that on Sunday
night he was summoned 10 Bronson
St. at Lincoln way, E. by a motor
man. who told him that Beckman's
car was partially astride the street
car track and that he wanted it re-
moved 10 allow the car traffic TO be
unhindered.
Baxter said that upon arriving at
the scene, Beckman insulted him
and that the defendants actions
and language indicated he was un-
der the influence of liquor.
Under cross exa mination by Atty.
Frank Gilmer, Baxter denied that
he struck Beckman with his club
or used vile language.
George Penrose, a motorman for
the Chicago, South Bend and North
ern Indiana Railway company was
next called and he testified that he
smclled liquor on the breath of
Beckman the night of the happen
ing. He said that Beckman had
driven into a street car preceding
the one he operated and that the
position Of Beckman's damaged au-
tomobile astride the tracks blocking
traffic was Beckman's fault.
