Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 3.-Suddenly re-
versing itself, today's stock market
staged the most robust rally in weeks
in the last hour Of the session.
The market had been uncertain and
irregular during the morning. with a
furry of selling around noontime and
new lows in several Of the higher
priced stocks, but in the afternoon the
pressure lifted, the list began gradually
to advance and then moved forward
rapidly under an aggressive campaign
against the shorts.
Covering came into all the more i'm
portant industrials, with gains OF to
4 and more points in issues that had
been most severely depressed. U. S.
Steel crossed SO in volume, after hav-
ing sold under "a earlier in the day.
American Can, General Electric, Cen
eral Motors, Consolidated Gas and
American Telephone were all in active
demand and substantially higher.
Sentiment was helped by reduction OF
margin requirements on collateral loans
by the banks. by the Rock Island divi-
dend, and the assurance that the ST..
Louis-San Francisco bond refunding
problem would be solved, and most of
all by the belief, confirmed by the tape,
that the liquidation was over for the
time being. The close was around the
best levels Of the day and the market
so active that the tape was unable to
keep up with business on the floor.
Short covering at the opening
brought about a higher range of Quota
lions and for a half hour or SO the
market looked as though it was about
to stage a brisk rally. The improve
nnoOt did not hold oycopt In small mart
and before noon there was the usual
scattering of new lows. Utility stocks
were unfavorably affected by further
consideration of Gov. Pinchot's attitude
as expressed at the Governors Confer
ence. With all its other troubles it is
hard to see why the market should
worry ever the next political campaign
so long ahead, but it takes fright easily
nowadays.
The reduction in electric light and
power rates locally did not seem to be
a market influence. Consolidated Gas
was fractionally higher and 1t held
better than the others in its group.
American Water Works was very weak,
however, and went to a new low. to-
gether with North American and South
ern California Edison.
The weekly iron and steel trade re-
views told of another reduction in rate
of operation, this time to around 40
per cent according to enc authority
and to just above 40 per cent accord
ing to the other. They reported fall
ing off in demand from the automobile
industry, with structural steel the only
bright spot in the picture. Car load

particularly encouraging.
The development most favorably re-
ceived was the decision of the Govern
ment not to appeal the ruling allow
ing the Vacuum Oil merger with Stand

formed this stand was held to have far
reaching importance. Oil stocks sag

SUGGESTS FEE ACT
Settle Praises Farm Board
for Progress.

Inclusion of an equalization fee
in the agricultural marketing act,
to be made by amendment to the
present act, is advocated by William
H. Settle, president of the Indiana
Farm Bureau.
PraiSing the federal farm board
for progress made in carrying out
the provisions of the original act,
Settle declared:
1--WE must amend the act to in
clude the principle of the equaliza-
ton fee, which brings the burden
of overproduction direct to the in
dividual farmer who produces the
crop.
This system will go farther to
educate the farmers to adjust their
production than any amount of
money that could be spent by the
farm board and the co-operatives
in the country. We could then sell
our SURPRISES to the best advantage
at prices that could be had without
being accused of squandering the
taxpayers money!
