RECOVERY RANGES. l TO } POINTS IN
 STANDARD ISSUES.

NEW YORK, July 6.-stock prices displayed firmer tone in today's relatively dull market. Some heavi- ness was apparent in Baldwin, Stude- baker and a few other standard is sues at the opening but when bears discovered that the floating supply of stocks was scarce they began to bid up prices. The advance was halted for a time by the weakness of Delaware and Hudson, which broke 1921, and then rallied to 96
 The recovery, while 1t ran from 1 to poLNts in number of standard issues, 'rfas not regarded as conclu- sive proof of definite upward trend The rapidity of the advance in a number of stocks, however, in dicated temporarily oversold con- dition.
 One of the most interesting devel- opments of the day was the declara- tion of E. H. Gary chairman of the United States Steel corporation, that the elimination of the 12-hour day in the steel industry which has been promised to President Harding, would necessitate 60,000 additional workers and increase operating costs 15 per cent.
 Steel shares moved to higher ground after the announcement wasI made, apparently on speculative be- lief that increased costs would be met by higher prices rather than through a reduction in earnings. Va nadium led the list with a net gain of points, while United States Steel common, Bethlehem, Gulf States and Republic gained a point or so.
 No official explanation was forth coming for the weakness of Della ware and Hudson but selling Of the stock gave rise to reports that the $9 dividend was in danger.
 New Haven appears to have ended its reactionary course, meeting good resistance around 10. New Orleans, Texas and Mexico advanced points and a number of others gained point or more, including Baltimore and Ohio, Chesapeake and Ohio, Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacific, Pere Marquette and Illinois Central.
 Some good gains were recorded In the motor and motor accessory groups. Hayes Wheel reported net earnings for the first six months or the year, after all charges and de- preciation but before taxes, of more than s1,900,000. Reynolds spring ad- Vanced 25s and Mack Truck Z.
 Call money opened at \ per cent advanced to and thence to 51a. Borrowers of time money were not disposed to bid over per cent, with occasional 90-day loans at 514. The commercial paper market was quiet, with prime names commanding 5 per cent.
 Raising of the British bank rate was reflected in the higher quota tions for sterling, demand bills touching s457 and then reacting to s456, a net gain of nearly l cent on the day.
 Other European exchanges were heavy. French francs dropping points to 5S1c and German marks getting below .0005c for the first time.

WOOL MARKET

BOSTON, July 6.-The Commercial Bull letin will say tomorrow:
 There is a better tone in the wool market. Prices have not hardened during the week-there has been hardly sufficient actual business done for that-but on the other hand they have not declined further. Indeed, the market appears to have right ed itself and manufacturers hunting for bargains have found many of their bids turned down flat.
 London has kept very firm throughout the, week in spite of some fairly heavy withdrawals. The continent is the chief buyer. Bradford Is feeling better with heavier sales of all descriptions. Prices at Brisbane declined about per cent from

PRICES CONTINUE TO POINT UPWARD M BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, July 6.-Bond prices continued to point upward In today's dull session.
 Most of the foreign bonds made moderate recovery from recent heaviness, the French governmental and municipal issues leading the ad. vance with gains of a point or so.
 United States government bonds were steady.
 Renewed weakness was shown by most of the New Haven issues, the franc Is breaking nearly points to 53. The convertible 6s advanced slightly. Seaboard Air Line issues and Missouri Pacific 6s registered moderate gains. Local fractions were strong.
 Some fair sized gains were record el by the public utilities. Marine 6s up 11A, Armous 4As up 1, were the strong spots of the active industrial mortgages. The Virginia-Carolina Chemical Issues were again heavy.
 Total sales (par Value), were s7,980,0o0
 Bids for the proposed Uruguayan loan will not be received until the end of the month because of legal difficulties arising in connection herewith.

CHESHIRE INNATE
 SOUGHT AS SLAYER
Rousch, Accused of Killing Guard,
 Makes His Escape

Cheshire, Conn, Dec. 1t.-Officers of the Connecticut reformatory, state police and the police of New Haven and other Connecticut cities and towns continued their search this forenoon for Philip Rousch, 20, a prisoner at the reformatory who escaped early yesterday afternoon after killing Albert Hoag, A, a reformatory guard, whom he is alleged to have struck down by three blows of an axe on the head, fracturing the skull. while the prisoner was ehopping wood. in charge of the guard half a mile from the in- stitution.
 Seen in New Haven.
 The last reported trace of Rousch 1t was stated this morning by Super intendent George C. Erskine Of the re- formatory was when he was seen on George street, New Haven, shortly after he had purchased a suit of clothes in the store of Samuel Green house at 7S Temple street in that city.
 Police of Milford and New Haven and others secured the woods in Orange and Milford during last ngiht when 1t was reported that a man answering the description Of the fugitive. had been seen in that locality
 Alone in the Woods
 Alone in the woods with the guard, Rousch apparently saw an opportun- ity to escape when Hoag momentariIy turned his back to the prisoner. After felling his guard, Rousch took of his prison garb, an olive drab coat and trousers, and used in their stead a red and grey mackinaw and block trous- CTS which he stripped from his victim.
 Had Long Start
 Dressed in the guards clothes and armed with a loaded pistol, Rousch fled through the woods, having over an hours start before the body was discovered by a trusty who was driv- ing a team near the spot of the killing.
 That Rousch did not intend neces- sarily to kill the guard, was indicated by the fact that after striking HoaC he tied the victims feet together with a leather belt.
 The theory was held that the prison- CT might have intended only to stun the guard and then escape, fortified by the gun and protected by the change of clothes and the money which he took from Hoags person.
 Report of the murder reached the reformatory office at 1880 o'clock, and shortly after. c. c. Erskine. su- perintendent. had a staff of guards securing the woods and vicinity. The state police and the authorities of surrounding cities were notified and the nets were spread in hope Of catch ing the convict.
 Rousch's criminal career started six years ago when he was arrested for theft in Wallingford In 1918, he was arrested for theft in New Haven. Convicted of burglary in February, 1921, he was sentenced to the re- formatory in the superior court at New Haven.
 As a Christmas present from the state he was released on parole De- cember 22. 1922. He was in trouble | again after an attempt to steal an auto in New Haven last April. Al that time he was put on probation again, but after having violated his parole last August he was returned to | the institution. Rousch was born in wailingford. |

TO SUE FOR PICTURES
Prince Youssoupoff of Russia tO Bring Action Against Joseph H.. Widcner of Philadelphia.

New York. Dec. 11.-Prince Felix Youssoupoff of Russia is planning to sue Joseph F. Widener, wealthy Phil adelphia collector, to regain possess sion of the two Rembrandt portraits he sold in London, in August, 1921, for s350,0O0.
 This announcement was made last night by Emory K. Buckner, attorney for the nobleman, in making public the refusal of Mr. Widener to accept s5lS,000 for the pictures on the basis that the prince was violating their contract which provided the treasures could not be sold within ten years after their recovery except by Mir Widener.
 Mir. Buckner said the prince was obtaining the purchase money from a Paris bank with which he was to de- posit the portraits as security.
 Prince Noussoupof will contend in court. the attorney said that he signed the contract with Mr, Widener under circumstances that nullify it and that the contract was illegal because MT. Widener had no right to impose con- ditions.
