The next step IN the drama took place
on the cold. rainy night of November

attempted to escape with more than l0O

Manhattan via the pier roof Although
the prisoners refused to talk. definite

with de Stephano and schatz.
Each succeeding seizure forged an ad-

necks Of the two drug ringleaders. A
week after the Manhattan episode the

STOCKS CLIMB
AFTER EARLY
DECLINE
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, July 9 Q.N.S0.
The stock market recovered from
an easier trend this morning, then
turned quiet and irregular and so
continued into the afternoon.
Farm implements, steels and a
few individual issues led the mod
est rally in the first hour. The
general list was about equally di-
vided between plus and minus
signs. Trading was slow.
u. S. Steel was typical Of the
market. It opened fractionally
lower, increased to more than a
point, then snapped back to
around its previous close of 1091a.
Oliver Farm was up 3 points in
a strong implement section. Mo-
tors, rubbers, oils and utilities
were mixed. Rails drifted lower,
Chesapeake and Ohio being down
2 points at one time.
Bonds were firm, including gov
ernments. Grains gained slightly
while cotton added 20 cents a bale

this fact nothing but the large gain since 1888 my

production is still considerably below the peak that would
be reasonable to expect.
After ALL 1929 eight years ago. and since then the pop

Confirming the foregoing general Indications are the follow

TRADE PICTURE
STILL BRIGHT

All in all, the general business
picture is by no means unpromiS.
ing, according to the Standard
Statistics Company.
The wide gains scored by indus.
trial production during the first
six months of this year, during
which aggregate industrial activity
showed a year-to-year increase of
approximately Is per cent, will
not, of course, be continued dur
ing the current six months, par
ticularly as general manufacturing
activity is likely to decline through
July and August by somewhat
greater than seasonal proportions.
Nevertheless, as has been pointed
out on a number of occasions,
there is a strong basis for revival
in business activity, beginning late
this summer and extending at
least through the fall, the report
said, adding:
Developments in the labor
situation have been somewhat
more hopeful in the recent past
and both business and financial
sentiment have responded &C
cOrdingly. The fact that public
opinion has turned definitely
against the actions of the C. I. o.
has, of course, been entirely re-
SpOnSibIe for the recent more
conservative gestures made by
Administration officials and
other apOlOgistS of the labor
movement. Reports have in
dicated that there is internal
dissensiOn in the C. 1. o. ranks,
and it may be some time before
that organization fully RECEIVERS
the prestige lost as a result Of
its defeat by the Independent
steel companies.
Business activity, although
continuing to decline sea-
SOnally, is making q compare
lively satisfactory showing.
Steel production is refleCting the
reOpening Of the mills of the
Independent companies, and al
though orders are still running
behind shipments, the trade is
looking for a decisive upturn in
buying late this summer or early
in the fall. The recent firm
ness Of steel scrap prices, usually
a barOmetric indicator, Is en-
cOuraging."
While demand for cotton tex
tiles is still relatively slow, there
has been a modern pickup. in Or
ders during the past several weeks,
the report said.

the strikes would have petered out so soon.
In the first place, radicalism in the Ameri-
can labor movement has been given setback
which will be benefit to the country in gen.
eral and to the steel industry in particular.
In the second place, the strikes tied up
enough production of steel to be of consider
able assistance in adjusting supply to demand
This has strengthened the technical position
Of the industry.
We must admit that in anticipation Of
strikes, good deal of steel was bought ahead
of requirements, and the actual coming of the
strikes thus justified the existing condition.
