clined to take more hopeful view Of

! from the improved tone and rising trend
in practically all the markets. This
better feeling was 70 some extent ac-
ccntunted by the brighter outlook Of
the European political and economic
situation. Trading in the stock market
was little short Of buoyant, and while

toms of window dressing practically
stocks of almost every description par

( operators TO return to your mines and
resume operations was taken to mean
immediate increase in coal production.

early end of the rail strike order un-
