ADVANCE IN STOCK
MARKET CHECKED
Selling During Afternoon
Wipes Out Gains Scored
in Earlier Trading.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 9.-The advance
in the stock market, which seemed to
have been resumed during the first
part Of today's session, was checked IN
the afternoon.
Under fairly heavy offerings prices
reacted, although holding well above
Mondays lows. There was no real
break save in the erratic Auburn Auto,
however, and no large liquidation.
Stocks met coed demand on the de-
cline.
It was not improvement in trade that
was responsible for the buying OF stocks.
This was the criticism continually
it has been ever since the recovery be-
gan a week ago. 1t was the theory on
which the repeated attempts were made
by traders to depress the list again.
That there are numerous dividend re-
auctions and omissions yet to come no
one disputes. It Is admitted that second
quarter earnings statements will, gen.
orally speaking, make unpleasant read
ing.
The defense is that the liquidation
which pressed down SO heavily all
through the month of May has been
accomplished and that that source OF
supply has dried up. 1t Is also argued
that 1t only needs now a few weeks OF
rising prices for stocks to stimulate
buying OF goods by merchants who
have been discouraged by the despair
OF Wall Street, as pictured in the mar
ket, and that it will be recovery in the
market which will precede recovery in
trade.
The leader Of the industrial group
today was Woolworth, active and
strong at new high on the movement,
rejecting the expectation that the sue
ceSSful new financing for the British
subsidiary would mean substantial bene-
hts for the shareholders of the Amer
lean company. Most of the distributive
stocks were in good demand, including
the mail order shares-Sears Roebuck
and Montgomery Ward Macy e. Co.,
at 10. was up points from Mondays
low and was another illustration of
better feeling toward these stocks.
Even more remarkable was the
strength in the oils, hard to account for
on the basis OF anything in the trade
outlook. Talk OF higher prices on the
Pacific Coast was not a sufficient ex-
PLANTATION. Something may be allowed
for the possibility of mergers under the
new attitude of the Washington au-
thorities. but the main influence was
the realization also that these stocks
have been sold to a standstill.
Railroad stocks acted surprisingly
well. The New York Central directors
meet tomorrow for dividend action, and
it would not be surprising If the rate
were reduced The stock sold off
couple Of points in the first hour and
then recovered the loss. Atchison and
Union Pacific were strong, Baltimore g.
Ohio was higher, PENNSYLVANIA held up
we'll despite the first quarter earnings
and there was no important weakness
anywhere in the carrier section.

CASH VALUE OF SMILES

A friend remarks that though
formerly he never bought any goods
at certain store, yet that for a long
time the proprietor used to greet him
so cordially and in such smiling
way every time they met, that he
simply could not resist that cordial
good humored manner. Now he says,
81 will go out of my way to do bust
ness with that man, and it all came
about just because of his smiling
greeting"
People who ask how they can
make good in business, might note
what that man said. A good many
people are not interested in anyone
unless they can make money out of
him. If a person persistently re-
fused to do business with such ones,
they would would hardly lfftf speak to him him.
That kind of attitude makes no
friends, while the one with the
smile is always drawing
people.
