RECOVERY
Prices Holding Own Very Well,
But Not Carrying For
ward Movement.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Yesterday's
recovery in stock prices was. not
continued in the first two hours
day. Prices did not receive any
material setback, on the contrary
they held their gains very WELL
but the first wave Of covering ap-
peared to have spent its force,
whereas buying from other sources
was too negligible to have sttmu-
Iating influence on prices. In line
with expectations, a fair amount OF
buying orders, the result of buoy
ancy displayed in yesterdays final
dealings, awaited execution at the
outset, but there was no inclination
on the part of traders to follow
up the Improvement.
Bullish initiative was partly held
in cheek by the unsettlement In the
foreign exchange market, in which
the currencieS of three different
countries, namely England, Swift
erland and Sweden made new lows
for the year, probably a reflection
Of increasing uneasiness regarding
the Franco-German situation.
Another development tending to
restrict operations for the rise was
the continued selling in New Ha-
ven, in connection with the rec.
oTAmendation made by the commit
tee named by the governors Of the
New England States to undertake
a voluntary capital readjustment Of
the road and demand $15, 000, 900
cash from the stockholders. The
stock was offered down to II u for
a loss Of more than 2 points and q
new low for all times.
Business fell off materially in
the second hour, but the general
level of prices was well maintained.
Railroad stocks were but slightly
affected by the weakness in New
Haven, only to the extent of can
ceiling early. gains.
Liquidation in the Pan-American
issues appeared to have been COM
pleted, both classes making fur
Their gains of a point or more. In
dependent steel shares were also
better supported. rejecting the be-
lief that second quarter earnings
will show up more favorably than
generally expected. Motor, tire, cop
per and sugar stocks were free Of
selling pressure and ruled steady.
A weak feature was Atlantic Gulf
and West Indies, breaking about
2 points to IL, q new low for 1923.
Call money renewed at 5h per
cent, " per cent below yesterdays
renewal rate.

ITO bring this Kodak into play simply
Il pull down the camera bed and the lens
automatically springs into picture-making
position.
To focus, instead Of the familiar dis
tance scale, merely turn the lens rim and
accurate focus is thus secured from near
views to in1nity.
And even with such distinctive equip
ment, the lens on this focusing Pocket
Kodak, Series II, at least halves the

RAILROAD STOCKS IN UPWARD MOvE
Two Seaboard Issues, Up A Point, Establish Years
 High Prices

NEW YORK. Nov. 21.-secondary railroad mortgages were strong in today's mora active trading on tho New York Stock Exchange, due chiefly to the improvement in rail shares in the stock market
 Buying in the rail group covered a wide assortment, but several issues, notably Seaboard Air Line, New Haven. Erie and St. Paul bonds dis played the greater strength. Two of the Seaboard issues. up more than point each, established new high prices for the year. Investment rail- road bonds sagged slightly, not so much on large offerings as on scarcity of buyers. Institutions re- gently have been big purchasers of these bonds and traders reported few orders were in the market today.
 Some of the copper. oil and rubber company liens found good support today and advanced moderately, but a greater number of industrial liens fell off on individual influences The market for public utility issues was active and prices narrow.
 Late afternoon buying of active United States government bonds turned those issues upward after earlier losses. While foreign bonds held firm and in many cases im- proved. the more favorable news from Paris arrived too late to send them up more than moderately.
