and the market eased back. Rul-
ing 3s to 7sc higher at mid.

Continued weakness in the
Canadian market tended to off

Rumors of another technical

A squeeze of a large short in
terest, variously estimated at be-
tween 10000 and 10000 shares
at last nights close was the
springboard behind the advance,
coupled with reports that the
"old crowd" referring to E. l..

had been heavy buyers of the
stock in the last two days.

STOCKS RECEDE
!. AFTER BEARS
SEEK DENS
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June 10 QN.S0
The stock market displayed a
stronger tone today, but price
changes in the list were relegated
to the background by spectacular
gyrations in Auburn which, in
extremely heavy trading, gained
nearly Is points over last nights
close.
Profit-taking developed tn en-
and the stock gave up about 5
points of its rise.
Bears Seek Cover
Further improvement in the dol
lar and an upturn in wheat
counteracted the bearish effect of
the fresh decline in U. S. Steel
untitled orders to a new record
low. Bears we're unnerved by
the Auburn squeeze and this pro
NOTED fairly general short cover
ing which lifted leading issues
from / to 2 points.
Buying failed to follow the ad-
vance. however. and the list gave
up part of its gains. Trading
was at a slow pace.
Though U. S. Steel common
ran up about a point during the
short covering movement, the
stock showed a heavy undertone
following the announcement that
untitled tonnage dropped nearly
100000 tons in May, the four
teenth consecutive decline. Steel
preferred held around it's bear
market low.
Rail Stocks Improve
Rails showed general improve
ment, led by a good-sized advance
in Union Pacific. Rumors con-
tinued to be heard of develop
ments to buy in deprecated rail
bonds and thus reduce fixed
charges.
Western Union was an early
weak spot, breaking to a new
all-tine low on uncertainty over
the 81 dividend. but it recovered
its loss in the rally.
Oil stocks marked time. Special
ties like Allied Chemical and
Coca Cola were higher. Mer-
chandising group gains were gen.
orally fractional.
