NEW YORK, March The stock mar
ket yesterday convinced the pessimists
that earlier reaction was but an Incl
dental furry, and although trading fell
of somewhat in volume, the undertone
displayed a sharp reversal Of form After
a brief period Of unsettlement in the first
half hour, the scarcity OF stocks became
apparent and the influx OF buying
brought about an extended number of
advances. Some Of the stocks which
broke yesterday did not recover all their
losses, but these deficits were more than
Offset by gains elsewhere.
The motor and sugar stocks were
among the features OF the market with a
good recovery in Studebaker, while
Chandler moved up to a new high level
American Sugar ran up more than three
points TO q new high level for the pres
ent upward movement, and fairly good
gains were made by Cuban American.
Cuban Cane preferred, Punta Allegro and
Manati. There was plenty OF favorable
gossip to account for the upward move
in this group, although not all OF 1t was
taken seriously.
Among the specialties displaying
strength were Dawson Chemical, Burns
Brothers, American Hide and Leather
preferred and May Department Stores
The shipping shares were actively bought
in expectation Of recommendations for a
marine subsidy. The buying that has
made Its appearance lately in such stocks
IS the fertilizer shares and Sears Roe
buck is explained on the ground that the
rise IN farm products has increased the
buying power Of the agricultural masses
The list had few weak points promi-
nent among which was United States Re
tail Stores which broke sharply on the
announcement that the dividend had been
passed.
Market opinions are generally Of a bull
lish average, and yesterdays exhibition
gave further evidence of the strong
technical position and the relatively small
speculative holdings by the outside pub
lie. Nothing of particularly depressing
nature is expected to be disclosed by the
annual reports, and the Street feels that
it has a fair line on what Is 10 be ex-
pected in the future.
The operations in the rails were con-
fined largely to those issues that have
been sponsored by certain powerful
groups. The features were furnished by

NEW YORK, March wall street was
a seller of cotton at the opening OF the

There were fifteen notices issued, which
were less than expected.
