STOCK SHARES
RECOVER FROM
EARLY LOSSES
Traders Continue Cautious
as Volume Fails to
Show Gain.
BY ELMER G. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, June 20.-The stock
market slowly recovered ground lost
in the morning and around the end
of the third hour of trading today
a stable group of issues showed
small gains.
There was no pickup in volume
with the rise and traders continued
cautious. Little attention was paid
to the grain market where wheat
moved erratically, being off more
than cents buShel at p. m. New
York time. Other commodities
moved narrowly and without fea-
ture.
United States Steel recovered half
of its loss of a point, while Amer
lean Can, American Telephone, Con-
solidated Gas and General Motors
firmed to fractional advances.
Trading in stocks to l p. m.
amounted to only $4,000 shares,
against 100000 shares in the CORE
spending period yesterday.
Volume in bonds was correspond
ingly dull and prices there moved
irregularly. United States govern
ment issues were steady. German
loans we're mixed in a narrow range.

on the use he makes of the powers
granted. The powers embodied in
the silver law are of special impor-
lance.
Many people in Wall Street ex-
pect the chief executive to take some
important steps soon after congress
is out Of the way. Some think he will
use the imitation needle again.
Heavy silver purchases and a fur
ther devaluation of the dollar in
terms of gold are being mentioned
as strong possibilities.
Business men, generally speaking,
will be glad to see congressman take
to the tall timbers again. The exit
of the lawmakers will give them
chance to more nearly adjust their
affairs to the new conditions and to
make plans for the future. Changes
have been coming so thick and fast
that many businesses are in a more

ID ICHARD WHITNEY, president
IN of the New York Stock Ex-
change, is to hold weekly confer
ences with the press from now on.
This represents an entirely new
policy on the part of the Exchange
head and may be said to have been
the result of the washington inves-
LEGATION and the Stock Exchange
regulation which developed from it.
The conferences should prove
beneficial to every one concerned
The Exchange is Semi-public in
stitution, and the more it takes the
public into its confidence the better
will be the relationship between the
two. Legislation and regulations in
the future are likely to be of sounder
character as result Of the better
understanding also.
LEW people who are familiar with
il the facts will deny that the
Exchange officials did a good job
of establishing sound business prac-
tices in so far as it was within their
power to do so. The history of the
Exchange over the past decade has
been one of gradual reform. But
the results of its efforts in that
direction were necessarily slow. It's
powers were limited.
With the support of the govern
ment through the new Exchange
legislation and with full and COM
plete cooperation with govern
emntal agencies in the future the
chances of establishing a market
place with high order of effective
ness and usefulness should be excel
lent. And the press conferences can
play an important part in assisting
with this work if properly conducted.
