Absence Of Buying Is Reflected In General Heayiness
 Throughout List

NEW YORK, March 11.-Reeovery of French governmental and :, municipal bonds, which were accorded support along with buying of the franc, was the outstanding feature of today's quiet bond market. Aside from 8 demand for Norfolk and Western convertible 6s and some of the Wilson & Co. issues, the absence of buying was reflected in general heaviness throughout the rest of the list The determination of, the French government to check She fall of the franc brought renewed buying of the Republic issues and leading mlr nicipal obligations, which moved 1 to 2 points higher. Belgian government issues improved on reports that re- demption of a portion. of the bond under sinking fund provisions soon would take place, q block, of Ss selling at par. '-

 : MADE ON CURB
Speculative Interest Is Confined Largely To The Oil
 Issues

NEW YORK, March 11.-stock prices made irregular recovery from recent heaviness in today's curb market. Spec uiative interest was confined largely to the oil shares, several of which began to respond to higher crude prices.

Borne and Scrymster jumped 12 points to 255, and net gains of to Az points were recorded by Prairie oil and Gas, Solar Refining, Southern Pipe and Standard Oils of Kentucky and Ohio. Swan and Finch dropped 2 points and Chese- brough Manufacturing yielded frac- tionaliy on the announcement of a stock issue.

RALLY IN FRANC
 CHIEF FEATURE
Feeling Of Basic Health Height ened By Coolidge Message
 Urging Tax Reduction
[ t.,,,s sy w. x,t. ]. Icnssos 4s. sss. ! ;, ;,

NEW YORK March 11.-Increased activity in foreign exchanges and vir- tual stagnaticn in stocks featured the markets Tuesday.
 Crippled communications with the south resulted in quiet and listless trading session in the stock market. Few changes of outstanding .signifi- canoe took place. In the absence of speculative pressure, however. the un- dertone was firm, while sentiment was considerably improved by the rally in the French franc and in the gains of foreign exchanges generally. ss3{ ssk
 The steadiness of the opening trans actions reflected improved sentiment Following Secretary Mellon's encourag- ing statement on trade conditions. Charles M. Schwab's forecast of bet ter business. in the event of tax reduc- ton. the rally in francs, price increases in oil and copper and Improvement in foreign exchanges. In the late dealings this general feeling of basis health was heightened by President Coolidge's special message to Congress urging an immediate s25 per cent cut in taxes. .
 Firmer Tone Develops V
 As trading progressed . firmer tone developed, despite the small volume of transactions. Determined attempts to disrupt the staEnant nature of the market by forcing prices lower proved fhtife, and subsequent covering znoveA nnents clearly indicated that profess sional operators had, for the time be- ing at least, realized the obstacles in the way of further reaction for the decline. 5.5s-.e
 Oils were firmer, refiecting price ad- vances in. crude, as well as the general improvement of late in the industry as awhole. Pan-Americans were particu- tar ct, AGr-rr@ bad weather reports, and grains ruled heavy, with the exception of corn, which was strong. ss.. Industriais Score Gains
 Among the high priced industrials. American Can was in good demand, recovering its loss of Monday. Gen eral Electric, Corn Products and In- dustrial Alcohol likewise scored sub stantial gains.
 Norfolk and Western featured the rails, reaching new high ground on heavy buying in expectation of favor able outcome of negotiations with the Pennsylvania involving guaranteed highest since 1922. In late dealings, Southern Railway developed special strength on indications that a $5 com mon dividend rate might be; initiated at Thursdays meeting. .s i.s
 Foreign exchanges. < displayed in creased activity and greater stability Tuesday, Francs ranged somewhat )above Mondays, levels, while sterling was up approximately cent, and con tinenta1 bills were generally higher. One exception was the drachma, which lost nearly quarter of a cent.

LAST HOPE CONE
 AT CASTLE GATE
Bereaved Now Turn To Funeral Plans-110 Bodies
 Recovered

CASTLE GATE, Utah, March H. Fortitude today gave way to visible grief in Castle Gate. One hundred and ten of the 13 victims of Saturdays ex- plosion in the Utah Fuel company, mine No. 2 had been brought to the sur face by o'clock tonight and 110 hopes finally were battered.
 That display of hope which has been so apparent throughout Price Canyon was cast aside as widowed wives, or phaned children, parents. brothers and sisters of 13 victims of the fatal blasts of last Saturday morning in mine No. , of the Utah Fuel company were per mitted ot spend few moments with their dead. For three days these be- reaved ones have steadily hoped that missing ones might have escaped. but as they watched the rapid removal of bodies they reluctantly abandoned hope and joined those at the morgue who had learned the fatal word.
 At o'clock tonight rescue workers had removed total of no bodies from the rooms. entries and other interior workings of the ill-fated mine. At the same time it was officially predicted at the company headquarters tha tthe last of the remaining 66 bodies would not be removed from the death chambers before Thursday morning.
 Recreation Hall. the scene in the days before Castle Gates tragedy. of the amusement activities of this mining camp, today became the communion house of the living and dead as men, women and children silently wended their way between the long lines of collins in the auditorium of the hall.
 Five bodies were removed during the day by relatives for transporting to for mer homes of the victims. Mine of- ficials said tonight that the first fu- neral here wuold be held tomorrow morning.
 The only display of color in the huge given here and there by the flag-draped auditorium of the Recreation hall was collins of World war veterans. There was no flowers and there will be none. Adding a level teaspoonful of corn starch to the fudge while making 1t will make it smooth and creamy. .
