The close was firm. The trading VOL

Metal stocks led the further recov-
cry and the rails, industrials and

the market had been "oversold." Few.
however. would predict the extent Of
the rally. Prospects Of settlement
Of the threatened steel strike and
word that an announcement Of revi-
sions Of NRA policies would be made
soon helped to revive sentiment.
Grains spurted on official indica-
tons that scattered rains had failed
to break the severe drouth in the prin-
cipal crop areas. Wheat got up to
within a fraction of the five-cents- a
bushel allowable gain and oats
reached the full permissible limit Of
