STOCK MARKET
ON Ut WARD
TREND
Recovery Which Started Late
Yesterday Continued in
Early Trading.
By Cosanopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, April 4.-The recov-
cry. which got under way late
yesterday was not continued to any
extent in the first two hours,
trading on the stock exchange to-
day. Speculative sentiment was
more cheerful, but traders prefer
red to await the outcome Of today's
meeting of the New York Federal
Reserve bank in regard to the re-
discount rate before committing
themselves. After the execution Of
buying orders at the opening, the
market lapsed into dizziness with
prices slipping off on profit taking.
The lowering of the renewal rate
to per cent, although a construc-
tive feature, failed to arouse new
buying, and the whole list simply
drifted aimlessly, but without show
ing signs of weakness.
Efforts of bear operators to de-
press the independent steel stocks
met with stubborn resistance. An
attack on Republic Steel proved
highly Improbable. After yielding
about a point to 60h, a sharp
drive was made against the shorts,
causing q swift rally of two points
to SIS Bethlehem Steel "B' was
strong, rising more than two points
to sixty-seyen. United States Steel
held steady at its previous level.
Equipment stocks were neglected.
Maxwell Motors "a" featured the
automobile group, rising one point
to 81, under active trading. Tire
stocks scored fractional advances,
being quietly bought by important
interests.
Marland Oil attracted attention
in the oil group by its persistent
strength. At 58% it came within
striking distance from this years
high of 59ss. 1t was reported that
the Standard Oil company of New
Jersey had purchased from the
Mariand Oil Company 400. 900 bar
rels of crude oil, in addition to the
5000 900 barrels of crude and the
